CHAPTER 24
DEREK
The lectures came to an end.All of Mirabel's course mate came surrounding me on my seat, asking questions on my one week absence.They wanted to know if I was the one who chose to stay back or if my father was the reason.And what was my response?"That old man decided to keep me under house arrest because of Mirabel. What could I have done? He's my father after all, " I shared, portraying a victim in their midst.And since they didn't care if I was at fault or not, but just loved me for my status, they backed me up."Yeah, what he did was wrong. It's not your fault that she got attacked by someone in this school.""Exactly. Who knows the person she messed with this time around.""I bet she didn't see the person and just decided to blame poor Tania for it.""Or maybe she's scared. "They all laughed, making fun of Mirabel in her absence.I was heartbroken just hearinRelated chapters

DEREKHis eyes read fear on seeing me. His whole body shivered from where he was tied, mumbling through the tape across his mouth."Old nerdy here was hiding in the library. He didn't want to step out, until I used a girl to call him out of his den, " Antonio shared, grabbing Tim's head, bending it backwards. He gave out a hurtful groan with tears streaming out of his eyes.He dropped them on me, mumbling once more through the tape.He knows what he has done that's why he's pleading with his eyes.Drawing closer to him, I yanked the tape off Timothy's mouth, causing him to scream out in pain.He cried out, pleading with the word Please, escaping his lips. "I didn't do anything. Please, let me go," He sniveled."Are you serious now? You didn't do anything?" I scoffed at his cries, sticking the tape to his left eyebrow."I'm sure you know exactly why you're here, Tim. It's best you come out clean or we do it the hard way, " I threatened, making sure the tape was stuck to his brow prope

DEREK"Have you sent the voice record to me? " I asked Antonio while driving the car.We just dropped Timothy at the bus station not too long after passing a strong warning to the nerd, not to tell anyone what had happened.I was making my way back to the mansion with Antonio, having Mirabel on my mind. I haven't taken her off after hearing all Tim had to say.It was hard."Sure did. I sent it before we left that place, " Antonio said, showing me the sent audio of Timothy's confession. There's no way I was going to let him speak the truth without having a record of it. With the cops seeing me as a suspect and my own father having no trust for me, I needed to show my seriousness to this case and get myself off the hook.This voice record will help, but not fully well. I still need to get more, and that's from Tania herself. "I'll send this to the police. But we still need more proof to pin Tania down.""Yeah, you said something about handling it on your own. What do you plan on doing

DEREK"Honestly, I'm not going to miss this party, " I said to my friends, who were busy notifying me about a party taking place at our usual club.It's taking place this evening, but I don't plan on going with them. In fact, I was pretending to be excited about it, all because of Tania.She was close by with her friends, listening to our conversations like she always does.We were standing near a tree on the field and she was just close to it, right at the other side.She snuck over with her friends, thinking I didn't see her. But I had to just pretend like one who was engulfed with party excitement.Just as we were talking about the party, Tania and her friends suddenly came out of their spot, acting all surprised."Wait, are you also heading over to the party? " She asked, staring at me with a wide gaze.I tilted my head, glancing at my friends who were surprised to see her here with us."Yeah, we are. Why did you ask? " I questioned, smirking at her.Suddenly she and her friends g

DEREKAt last, the culprit was caught.Right there in the club, Tania and her friends were arrested before all. They were in so much shame, unable to look at others, who had their cameras flashing at them to reveal their deeds to those who were yet to receive the news.I stood aside with my friends, who were stunned by this sudden turn event. They couldn't believe that I had a hand in Tania's arrest.They were stunned."How did you get the cops here on time? " They asked, watching a crazy Tania yelling at the top of her voice.I told my friends how I contacted the cops over before we arrived at the club. "They needed to be there, if they want to get her in the act, " I said, staring at her. She was busy claiming innocence while everyone laughed, taking video of her and her scared friends."They brought this upon themselves," I said, sounding serious.One of the cops, who had visited the hospital the time Mirabel was admitted, came up to me and said, patting my shoulder, " Sorry for d

MIRABEL"Is there anything I can help with again?" Antonio asked my mother, offering more assistance.He had followed us down from the mansion to our home, assisting us with our bags.I didn't want him stressing himself about it, but he refused to listen to mom and I, so he helped us with our bags, bringing it down to our house."That's all, Antonio. Thank you so much, " Mom appreciated, smiling at him."I'm happy to help, " He said, giving out a big grin, which he directed at me.Where I stood behind my mother, my face came flushing at Antonio's beautiful glow. It made my heart shimmer, leaving me blushing."I'd take my leave now. Don't want my sweet parents calling me. They can be worried despite their son being a grown up man, " He joked, laughing out.Mom and I laughed along with Antonio, watching him take his steps, as he got ready to leave."Just wait for a few minutes, son. Please, I'll be quick. Just have a seat, " Mom requested."Is it something urgent?" Antonio asked, being

MIRABELI laid in bed, cuddling myself.My mind has been on Antonio's words and support for Derek's so-called change, but my heart isn't ready to accept him after everything he put me through.I went through hell with that guy for heaven sake."Didn't he see what happened when we got to school?" I groaned, recalling what had happened when we arrived.The students didn't make fun of me because of the case on ground at that time, but Derek... He and his friends didn't let that slide.Antonio and I went to our usual comfort zone, the empty classroom, and decided to just stay there.According to Antonio, there was no need for me to attend class, since I wasn't fully better. "Let's just stay here for now, " He had said.It was odd because he was the one who took me out of the mansion, suggesting I come to school and attend classes only for today. But getting to school, he changed his mind.I was going to ask him why the sudden change when I saw Derek and his friends coming in. They came ov

MIRABELMy heart kept beating after hearing Derek call out to me. I know I didn't mention my name, so how did he know I was the one?"Mirabel, put it on speaker. I need to hear my son's voice, " Mom voiced out, giving me out.And that gave Derek the confirmation he needed."Mirabel, it's you," He said, sounding pleased.I still didn't say anything but felt uncomfortable. I did as Mom wanted, placing the phone on speaker, so she could also hear her step son."Derek, are you there?!" Mom called out loudly, so her voice would be heard. And Derek responded to her call, sounding excited to hear her voice."Mom, how are you? " He said.My mother responded with joy, "All is well, dear. We're sorry that we left before you could get back from school. Someone just couldn't wait to head home after being away for long." She lifted her eyes at me, dimming them at me.I would have just rolled my eyes at her, but I didn't. She might poke them. All I did was hold the phone while she spoke with Derek.

MIRABELAs Mom had said, she left the house that morning for her dinner plans with Mr Hall man. He came around to get her, using that opportunity to see me.Mr Hallman had gotten me something to keep myself entertained with, while I wait for both Antonio and Derek to show up after school.Yeah, he got me snacks. Nice, juicy, and mouth watering delicacies that I've never bought before.It was enough to brighten my mood."Take care of yourself before they come, okay? " Mom said, pecking my cheek.I nodded, saying my goodbyes to the couples, until they were gone.All alone, I sat in the living room to enjoy myself, and also plan on how to stay away from Derek, since he's coming over as well."Since Antonio is coming, I'll just try as much as possible to stay with him all through. Yeah, he'll be at the center," I planned.I didn't attack all the goodies given to me by my step father. Instead, I kept some aside for Antonio and I to enjoy.And just as I was making plans... KNOCK! KNOCK!!"
