Today’s school was peaceful with no Jayden’s bully or Lisa’s drama until the dismissal. I still hated the fact that Jayden forced me to suck his d’ck which up till now still irritates me.
Luca’s practice had extended to Tuesdays also and I had to wait for him today since Rose has an errand to run with Max and they left early after the recession.
I sat on my desk jotting down my birthday wish list. I had decided to make a wish list for my 18th birthday and show them to my friends and family to fulfill them for me on my birthday party.
I was going to make a 18 list of things I want. I went into a deep thought and started thinking what I want for my birthday.
I have never made a wish list before for any of my birthday but since it’s my 18th birthday, I said to myself that I would make a wish list since I’m officially becoming an adult.
Looking into the plane sheet, I opened my ink pen and started:
RHODA’S 18TH BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

2. A portrait printer.
3. Lush bath bombs.
4. Bib necklace.
5. Portrait phone case.

8. Fossil watch.
9. Fuzzy blanket and socks.
10. Bouquet of flowers supply for a month.
11. Trip to Hollywood.
12. Trip to Disney.
13. Victoria secret handbag.
14. A pink beanie
15. wall designer stickers.
16. pocker dotted sneakers.
17. Hooded sweatshirt.

It took me sometime to think out what I wanted and when I was finally done, I smiled and cross-checked it then folded the paper and kept it in my bag’s inner smaller bag which is unnoticeable where none of my friends will see it till my birthday when I’ll be reading it out to them.
I checked the time and saw I still have an hour to wait till Luca finishes. The class was now empty with nobody in except me. I placed my head on my desk to sleep while waiting.
Minutes into my sleep, I felt someone tapping me, I groaned and raised my head to see Luca staring down at me lovingly.
“Are you done? it was so soon unlike other days, I mean I just decided to rest minutes ago” I asked surprised Wondering why he was here now.
“It wasn’t soon, you probably had been sleeping and lost count of the time” he said and I checked my wristwatch. “What? I’ve slept for more than an hour but it still felt like minutes to me” I mumbled picking up my bag.
He smiled and took my hand as we both walked out of the class. We got to the school’s parking lot where Luca parked his car to see Jayden standing by the car handle.
“What are you doing here Jayden?” I asked folding my hands akimbo.
“I need to have a word with you Rhoda” he said and tried to grab my hands which I freed away.
“Don’t touch me and you can say whatever thing you have to say here” I replied and he looked at Luca and shook his head.
“In private Rhoda, you don’t expect me to speak to you while he stands here listening to what I want to say” he stated throwing deadly glares at Luca who acted unconcerned.
“Well you will have to say it here because I won’t step out with you. As you can see, we are about going home before you interrupted us” I said and tried to shove him aside but instead, I got dragged into his embrace.
“What the hell, have you lost your senses? Luca yelled and threw a blow at him which he dodged, pushed me to his back and retaliated by giving Luca a more powerful one and thankfully, Luca dodged it.
“Jayden stop this” I said and game to his front trying to stop him from harming Luca but I was surprised Luca dragged me out of Jayden’s presence.
“No babe let me fight him, I’ve been keeping a lot quiet and I have respected him enough, now I won’t watch him one here and start embracing you in my presence when he’s not stupid” he shrieked and I gasped.
I never knew Luca would try fight Jayden for me, I knew he always wanted to talk but Jayden been so powerful made him hold himself back.
But now where’s the courage to fight Jayden coming from because I don’t seem to understand what got into him to act this way.
“Oh I see, the rat wants to fight, let’s see how far you can go” Jayden raged and kicked him had on the rib which made Luca stagger but he was quick to control himself from falling.
Jayden drew him by the collar and gave him a double blow on the chin then kick him again which made him fall to the ground in a powerful tud.
Jayden stop this nonsense please” I begged on seeing blood run down from Luca’s nose.
He ignored me and continued landing heavy punch on Luca who laid on the floor powerless and grunting.
“Please Jayden leave him alone you can talk to me just let him be please, I would do anything you ask of me if only you let him go” I pleaded tugging at his shirt as tears streamed down my eyes staining my uniform.
He stare at me briefly, suddenly stopped and stood up wiping his bruised knuckles which he used in damaging Luca’s face.
I immediately rushed to Luca and helped him up, blood covered his face and uniform, his eyes swollen, he staggered and held on to me as I took him to the car and helped in sit in the passenger seat.
After making sure he settled properly, I stood up told him to wait for me to have a word with Jayden because I know he wouldn’t let us leave without talking to me.
He nodded weakly and I carefully closed the door, arranged my stained uniform and walked up to Jayden who was resting his back on his car bonnet.
