It was on the next day. I was dressed in my game wear, getting ready to go to school. Today was for the game so we all had our game wears on our body. I had deliberately thought overnight about what I could do to find my missing mum. I had gotten all the information I needed to know from Jason, but I needed the means to execute it.As I was passing through the school field, I scanned through for Aya among the visiting students seated on the school field. As an arranged mate of Dax, Aya was surrounded by some groups of girls, and being cheered like a Queen. I walked past where they were seated and once our gaze met, she stood up and came to my front.“Are you looking for Dax?” Aya asked mockingly, swinging her tongue playfully.“I'm not here to fight you, Aya. Nor here to look around for Dax. I just came so that we could help each other,” I said to her. She twisted her neck, thinking of my recent words.“What do you want?” she a

"Congratulations! Your mum is back, Amaya!" Jeremy walked up to my front, shining his thirty-two teeth. He might have probably thought I left Dax for him if only he knew what had just happened."Thanks!" I said to him, his gaze on my lips, and smiled at me."Have you heard it?" Jeremy asked, leaning towards me, and grabbed my hands. I pulled out my hand from him. He raised his gaze and smirked."I caught Kayla with another man at the party and I heard her saying that the pregnancy accusation was false!" He tucked his bears and smiled."Jeremy, if what you just said is true then I am still not going to be your girlfriend!" I said to his face. He patted his lips and rolled his eyes in a sneer."Why, Amaya? Don't tell me you are not attracted to my charm anymore. Or has the athlete guy won your heart?" Jeremy asked playfully, holding my hands together."My mum is back so the contract should be terminated," I reminded him. He nodded."Yes, that's true!

Without hesitation, I turned around just in time to catch a glimpse of dark figures in black dresses sneaking out from the shadows. My instincts screamed danger, and before I could comprehend the threat, an arrow sliced through the air towards me. Swiftly, I dodged to the side, feeling the rush of air as the deadly arrow passed by my head.My heart palpitated in my chest as I assessed the situation. If I had not learnt this skill from Douglas then I would be dead by now. I startled and balanced only to see the black rogues, their faces masked with black veils. I was out of choice, and there was no time to think. Instinct took over as I sprinted away, weaving through the trees with the agility that Douglas taught me.The rogues relentlessly threw arrows in numbers at me in their pursuit. Each missed arrow was a narrow escape. I wanted to run back to my mum's office but the chances of me surviving were slim if I took that route. The only routes available were Jeremy's restin

The murmuring sounds of the students seized as Jeremy raised the alarm of my attack in the woods. My mum rushed to me and pulled me into her body."The black rogues?" She asked me, her white dress drenched in my blood.I was taken out of the school field for treatment as quickly as they could. I was placed on a soft bed that I could lay on for the rest of the day, and I got my body pain relieved."Who could be responsible for the attack, Amaya? Your life is at stake here. Is there anything your mum isn't telling us?" Jeremy sat down close to my bed, wiping off the sweat on my face."There is nothing, Jeremy!" I said to him and looked away."Spare me those lies, Amaya!" Jeremy said and stood up immediately, then continued,"Cole told me there is something you are hiding from me. He said your mum knows a lot about it and must have told you about it," Jeremy yelled."And my daughter said there is nothing hidden, Jeremy," My mum said, and walked out of

( The following morning)I opened my eyes. I gasped in fear and raised my hand to my chest in confusion. Where am I?I was on a strange bed with a familiar figure who was nakedly sleeping right beside me. The morning light filtered through the curtains, revealing a room I couldn't quite place... He was snoring heavily. Still, in confusion, I raised my gaze higher to meet Jason lying right beside me. Oh, my gosh!!! What just happened?  Does it mean I slept with Jason?Yesterday night - after I went back inside the party house, I was so bothered and lonely that I downed bottles of alcohol in my belly, littering everywhere with broken bottles. That was the last thing I could remember here. How do I manage to find myself close to Jason? My slumber was replaced by anger and frustration as I lifted the quilt on my body to find myself naked too.I hit Jason aggressively, pulling him out of his deep sleep. He tore his eyes open and smiled at him as though all that happened
