Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 53
Joseph’s POV
I walked down the crowded hallway with
an earpiece plugged in my ear. I was just
coming out of the cafeteria – alone. Emeka
wasn’t my friend anymore, he was close to
Cullen and Jamal now. And I’m sure he
must have told them about the fight that
ensued between us. Even Elena stopped
talking to me because I’d refused to tell her
anything. I told her to ask Kate or Emeka.
Angella was avoiding me because I didn’t
meet up with plans to hang out during
break.
Well it seems the whole world was against
me.
I made my way to the Basketball room. I
knew no one would be there. And I don’t
care if they don’t talk to me as long as my
ball doesn’t fail me. That’s all I care about.
And I was still determined to get back at
Emeka. I just need a perfect time to work
on my plans,probably on Thursday.
I picked up a ball and threw it into the net.
I didnt reach for it again because fury
crashed over me. I heard the door clicked
and I looked towards the direction.
And Kate was in the room!
Kate? I could hardly believe it. I thought I
was hallucinating until she came over and
said
“Hi Joseph”
She wasn’t smiling
“Why are you here?” I asked in a harsh
tone.
I was mad at her for not staying away
from Emeka!
“Um..can we talk?” She said
I tucked my hand into my right pocket
“Yesterday you acted as if I don’t exist and
now you want to talk to me. I thought you
don’t want to be in this position with me” I
said
We were alone in the basketball room.
“Don’t get me wrong, I followed you
because I want us to talk about what
happened last week” she said
“Why did you choose him? And why do you
hate me?” I asked
She shook her head slowly
“Joseph, I don’t hate anyone”
“But you hate me..And you don’t want to
be friends with me”
“You’re mistaken”
she said
“I’m only staying away from you because I
don’t want any problems with Angella. She
is your girlfriend and I’ve heard so many
things about her”
She emphasized
To Hell With Angella!
“So you’d rather stick with Emeka”
“I’m not sticking with Emeka”
“Then why did you choose him? Why are
you still with him after I warned you to
stay away from him?! He’s not good for
you?!” I snarled in anger
“Its my life! You can’t tell me what to do!”
She screamed back at me
What?!
I moved to her but she stepped away.
“I’m sure he has already poisoned your
mind against me”
“No,Emeka didn’t tell anything. He only
explained the reason why you punched
him”
“And he turned me to a bad guy. And now
you think am a bad person”
“Its lame. I see no reason why you should
like me since you have a girlfriend” Kate
said
I was taken aback by her words.
“Emeka didn’t do anything wrong. He
trusted you as a friend. And you know his
story..”
“Oh so he told you his pitiful story”
I interrupted with a clap
Now I get it!
No wonder she was drawn to him!
“Yes he did. And you have no idea how
much he’s hurting right now” she said
Her chest rising and falling. She was
defending him! And my anger towards him
grew!
“Good for him! I really don’t care if he’s
dying! Tell him to get ready for me” I
pointed to her
“What are your plans?”
“You want to know?” I asked with a wicked
smile
She nodded
“You don’t need to know now but you will
find out very soon. I just need to work in
the broadcasting room”
I walked away
“Joseph!” She called at me
I stopped
“Please..Don’t hurt him” she pleaded
Anger crashed over me as I walked on.
“I’ll do anything!” She screamed
Wow! She was willing to do anything for
him!
I turned to face her
“Please don’t leak any video of him on the
school page” she said
“How do you know that I want to post a
video?”
“Emeka told me..that you might be
planning something”
“So he’s planning too?”
“No”
“Liar”
“He’s not planning anything” she said
loudly
“Believe me..Emeka doesn’t have anything
against you. As a matter of fact, he’s
willing to be friends again”
“I don’t believe you” I gritted
Kate looked away from me
“Why are you so determined?” She asked
