Bella and Roxy have been waiting for like forever in the cold midnight breeze at their hideout in front of the school for Tina but there seemed to be no sign of her yet. The weather outside was so cold and the little creepy noises accompanying it sent chills and shivers down their spin.
"Do you think she has billed on us?" Bella asked, lurking around.Roxy who was staring into space took a quick glance at Bella and slightly shook her head. "You're totally unbelievable. Why will she do that?" She asked while turning back to where she initially had her gaze."Think about it." Bella said while leaning over Roxy's shoulders. "She might want us take the fall alone. She wouldn't want to drag the name of her family in the mud." She added and Roxy scoffed. The two were still disagreeing on things when they felt a cold hand touch them from behind. This made them almost jumped out of their skin as they turned to face the intruder.
"Tina–" They both exclaimed, frozeAfter about 2hours of struggling in her dream, Phidel finally jerked up from her sleep, soaked in sweat. She swiftly lurked around then to the clock just beside her bed. Luckily enough, she wasn't the type that usually goes to sleep with all lights off. Checking from her clock, it was still not yet time to get off bed so she rested her back on the wall, supporting it with her pillow whiles she reflected on her ordeal.She tried to put one and two together to solve this weird mystery of a nightmare but nothing was really adding up. "Could this really be about Phidelia?" She grumbled mentally to herself. "But why has Auntie Emma not called yet?" She said and without another thought, reached for her phone which was on the mini drawer beside her bed.She turned on the screen to see if she had missed any call but there was nothing. She went on, scrolling through her call logs to see if her mother might have by any chance answered a call from her but there was nothing like that.
Tina massaged her temples as her mind raced to the possibilities of what might happen if they get got. Thinking on what to do, she instinctively rocked from side to side with her arms crossed around her chest, slightly biting on her nails.Bella was about throwing one of her tantrums when Tina held out her hand, stopping her mid way while she paused for some seconds as a thought clicked.“I think I have an idea.” She suddenly uttered, lifting her eyes to Bella and Roxy. “Follow me.” She added without any explanation and hurried off.Roxy and Bella glanced at each other with furrowed brows and shrugged as they went after Tina. They tried to find out from Tina what her plans were as they caught up with her on the corridor which served as a link to almost every block in the school but she just wouldn't say anything.“What are you up to Tina?” Roxy questioned, trying to be a bit persistent. Just then, Tina abruptly came to a halt
A rush of panic swept through Tina's face but instinctively masked it with a smugish gaze, rolling her eyes in the process while folding her arms. "And what makes you think so?" She asked as she jutted her hips, trying her best not to look obvious. "We have our differences and all that but that doesn't mean I want her to vanish? Come to think of it," She scoffed. "Isn't it obvious she might be having fun somewhere else?" Tina asserted, turning on her feet to leave as she gesticulated her friends. "Come on girls, let's go. We have a class to attend." Tina added as she gave him a scornful gaze and strolled off.Roxy and Bella in turn, seized Rowan up and hurried after her."I don't even understand what he sees in her." Rowan heard Tina muttered as they turned the corner to the class.Watching as their backs faded through the distance, he sighed. "I hope this is just my thoughts Tina?" Rowan affirmed and left off to the locker room.******Shuffling out of the school int
Without waiting to be told, Phidel hurried to her room to pack few of her things for the journey. Jerome was no different either, she briskly hassled past Randy who was still on the phone to their room; not in the slightest way interested in what he was blabbing over the phone about as her only interest was getting their things.Randy on the other hand, had through quiet an effort been able to attain an intermittent leave from the work place though it came with a cost.Finally getting off the phone, he hurried to get all the necessary travelling documents they would for their trip. By then, Jerome and Phidel were all done.“Have you called Emma that we're coming? ” Jerome hastily muttered as they glided down the stairs.“I will do that when we get into the car.” He answered, stepping down the last stairs while Jerome and Phidel followed suit.They trod into the corridor and Jerome helped Randy lock the door. To how long they were going to spend in Netherlands, they ha
It was almost dawn when Phidel and her parents’ flight touched the soil of the Netherlands. Martin was by then already waiting for them at the waiting terminal when they sauntered in.“Hey–” He called, instinctively waving them over on setting eyes on them. Though the mood was not a good one, both Jerome and Randy managed to put on a smile as they got a glimpse of him except for Phidel who was still in a bad state.“Hello Martin.” Randy uttered, exchanging handshakes with Martin as they neared him.They exchanged a few pleasantries and finally headed to the car. Phidel and Jerome settled in the backseat whiles Randy and Martin took the front. After a few seconds, he sped off, hitting the main streets of Netherlands.The night lights coupled with all those 5star shops and fancy cafés along the streets were quiet a sight to behold; not to talk of those huge bridges they drove by but in all, Phidel found no delight in them as she stared out of the window in silence.Jerome understanding w
Bella and Roxy on the other hand were looking for Tina, having no idea where she had left off to as they had earlier on left to their lockers to return their already used textbooks. They walked into the classroom to meet her absence and was told by one of their colleagues that she was called to the Teacher's Staffroom by Mr. Mark so they decided to meet her up.They sauntered through the numerous students moving to and fro the hallways to the path they knew Tina would definitely use. Just as they got there, they saw her coming. Though her steps were briskly, it never came to their minds that something may be up with her. All they could think about was paying her back for the last prank she played on them.So they quickly hid at the corner, ready to give her the scare ; having no idea what was going on with her. They giggled while waiting patiently. After a few minutes, Tina pulled up her head.“Boo!” They shouted, making Tina almost jump out of her skin. T
Nanny Betty had just staggered into the yard when she heard Tina’s scream. A flash of panic instantly swept through her face and she zoomed into the house.She hurried through the hall directly to the kitchen and found Tina crouched beside the cabinet with her arms wrapped around her knees; shivering vehemently.“Tina–” She muttered and Tina deftly glanced up at her with tears lingering in her eyes.“Nanny Betty...” She cried, swiftly sprang up and hugged her. “I was so scared nanny.” She grumbled. “I thought I was going to die.” She fringed.“Calm down dear.” Nanny Betty snapped in as she drew her back. She slightly hunched forward, drying the tears that had escaped her eyes. “It’s okay now. I’m here.” She affirmed and Tina nodded.She could see from Tina’s eyes how scared she was. Though Tina was calm now, nanny Betty could still feel her shivering within
Few minutes after Nanny Courtney left, she came rushing back with the whole first aid kit; not really knowing what to take nor leave out.“Here sir,” She muttered amidst panting, handing over the kit to Bella’s Dad as she joined the rest of the family standing beside the bed with anticipation written all over their faces.“Is she going to be okay?” Her mother asked, watching as her husband passed the inhaler Bella’s nose. The intensity of her panic evident in her voice. “Is that..” She went on about to say something when Bella sneezed; regaining her conscience. “Oh Bell–” She grumbled in relief while she hurried over to her.A whippy cry escaped Bella’s mouth on seeing her mother and she instinctively curled into her bosom, wrapping her hand around her. “I’m so scared mum–” She cried.Mrs Lassey deftly glanced up at her husband at her daughter's words then back to Bell
