Cindy POV
During lunchtime I took my tray and located Russeli who was sitting alone on a desk in the cafeteria, I walked over to him and sat across his table, but Russeli saw me and was about to get up.“Let’s just eat together,” I said softly looking at him with pleading eyes. Ever since I told him about me and Jeffery, he had always ignored me like flu and gave me the cold shoulder, he has changed from the Russeli I knew.“I don’t want to eat next to you, I don’t even want to talk to you or see you.” He held his tray and his eyes were darkened as he gave me a cold shoulder.“Even if it is for the memory of being friends with me in the past?” I try to make up an excuse to have him speak to me and stay, maybe this way we can become friends again, after not talking to him for some days now, I felt something was missing deep inside of my heart.Russeli looked at me with his forehead furrowed and his lips prRelated chapters

"Cindy." She said softly as I walked closer to her after my father gave me an assuring smile. "Good evening ma'am, nice to meet you." I handed her the flower I got for her and she glances at it for a brief moment, then she looks up at my face again, still with that looks."Cindy, thank you." Her eyes couldn't leave my face and I had to smile awkwardly, I wonder if I didn't do my makeup well, or if I had something on my face, but there she was, staring at me with her clear blue eyes. "I am Louisa." She introduced herself."I am happy to see you Louisa and you look very beautiful." She was extremely gorgeous and I couldn't keep my mouth shut about it."Thanks for the compliment, you look beautiful." She looked at my father and he has a handsome smile on his face.I don't know why I felt a bit strange while looking at the face of this lady, she looks so familiar to someone I know, but I can't just picture it.We sat down and ordered something to eat, while eati

It was a lunch break in school and my friends had left and I had just put my notes in my locker and also making my way there when a strong hand grabbed mine and whirls me around into a hug.I looked up and it was Jeffery smiling down at me. "We are having our date today right?" He has a goofy smile and was looking hands, but we were still at school for him to be this close to me, so I pushed him off and straightened my uniform."Yes, how would I forget about that." I glance over my shoulder and was glad that no one was in the hallway, they must be having their lunch now."Don't eat lunch." He told me and I knitted my brow as I glance at him, wondering what he was saying right now, I never skip lunch and I love eating. "I want us to eat a lot."He was gibberish. "I am hungry now." I pout and he stretched something out and I looked down at his hands and saw him holding an egg. "What!" I scoffed. "Do I look like a dog?""You said you were hungry." He lifts the

I went in search of Jeffrey's friends, no matter what they were the ones that will tell me what Jeffery loves most and I could get few ideas from them on what to get for him.I met D’mally first by the lobby and I blocked his path. “D’mally, I need your help,” I remember in the past, D’mally was one of the people I play with and he was more close to Jeffery after me, he must know what Jeffery will need.“in what?” He must be surprised by the way I came up to him.“Can you tell me what Jeffery loves the most in this world?” I looked at him expectantly as I waited for his reply.“It is you.” He finally said after contemplating for a long time and I look at him like he was crazy, but remembered I didn’t put the question right.“I mean material things. It is his birthday today and I am struggling with what to get for him.” I explained it much better and he seems to now have a clu

After school, I went home and got dressed for the date I was having with Jeffery. I put on a simple white dress that stops at my knees and then I let my hair down, first thing first was to look pretty for him.The doorbell rang and I knew that must be Jeffery so I picked up my white handbag, wearing a white can, I head over to the door. As I opened the door a broad smile spread to my lips.Jeffery was standing by the door and was looking like a suitor that was here to ask my hands in marriage and he was looking handsome."Cindy you are beautiful." He complimented me before I had a chance to compliment him and I blushed."Thanks," I said softly as I stepped out of the house. He opened the car door and he drove off heading to the restaurant he had reserved.We arrived at Sidart restaurant and sat down at our table, looking through the menu, my eyes dilated as I looked at the price."This restaurant is very expensive." I looked up at Jeffery who was noncha

An idea came into my head and I smile, all I had to do was make him forget about all this so I open my lips to speak. “You must still be wondering about my two dates, Monday and Tuesday.”He stopped chewing his meal for a moment and glance at me, then he swallowed, sipping his wine and wiping off his lips with his napkin. “Yes, I am curious.”Now I got his attention and was sure that this would distract him from any punishment he must be thinking, even if he won’t hit me, as long as the word punishment was in it, I knew it would hurt.“On Monday was my friendship anniversary with Salsa and Daisy so we hanged out together, and the second was a date with my father …. He wants to remarry.” The thought of that excites me as I beam. “I’ll have a stepmother soon and a stepbrother.”Jeffery blinks and leans back to his chair folding his hands across his chest. “Why do we have so much in common?&rdq

After a lot of silence and tears, I took Jeffery to a bar, the worst place to end a birthday party, but what else can I do when his heart seems heavy and d he was In pain, also I heard that taking alcohol do relieve pain, even if that isn’t true.We sat down and ordered few bottles of soju and tex mex mixed with beef and chicken fajita ingredient served on a hot iron skillet. I poured a glass for Jeffery and he gulps it down, perhaps all the tears and talks had made him tasty.“Cindy let’s see my mother after now.” He spoke out of the blue and I blink, I wonder if he was already tipsy, but honestly, I was happy.The last time I saw Jeffery’s mother was during our childhood days and now I don’t think I could remember her face that much, also she had been so good to me in the past and had even treated me like her daughter, I was too little then and can’t remember what she looks like that much.“Okay, that is a good id

I arrived at the address Janet had told me about, when I got there I saw her pacing around and rubbing her hands together. “Janet,” I called out and she turned sharply and on her face was fear and worry. “What happened?”“I couldn’t find her anywhere, I have called her line and she isn’t picking up,” Janet told me as I held her hands. I wonder what was going on, but for something to make Janet this worried then it wasn’t good.“Have you checked at school?” it was late to be at school at this time, but I still need to ask.“She is not there, I have also checked her favourite restaurant and café.” She went on explaining. “I heard from two students that she failed her audition, I tried reaching her but she is not responding to her text and calls.”“We have to find her,” I said in a haste, the audition meant a lot to Kelly and I was scared that she might be cr

Jeffery’s POVI walked over to Cindy the next day in school, she looks okay and I knew by her expression that the emergency that had made her leave my house was resolved. “Cindy,” I called out and she turned to me.“Oh Jeffery, good to see you, I left my phone at your place yesterday, did you happen to see it?” I nod to her question and hands it over to her, she smiles and thanked me, but I just stare at her intensely.“Cindy, I happened to go through your pictures,” I said honestly and she looked up at me. “The man with you in that picture, who is he?” I asked her and a part of me wishes she would say it is someone else and not her father, a part of me want it to be someone she is not related to.“Oh, that’s my father.” She said with a smile on her lips. “Marcus White, he is very handsome isn’t he?” She showed me another picture of him, but I couldn’t return the smile
