Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 57

☆☆

Katherine’s POV
“I think someone’s getting a love note
now” Temi announced as we walked close
to our lockers. And truly there was a note
on Elena’s locker.

“My heart skips anytime I see you” Temi
read out loudly
“You’re getting letters now!” Temi
screamed

Elena hissed
“Why the noise?” She tossed the paper Into
a bin nearby.
“Why did you do that?” Temi questioned
with a frown.

“It doesn’t make any sense to me” She said

About a week after my encounter with
Angella in the basketball room. I did my
best to avoid Angella and Joseph after I’d
made it clear to him that I was going to
report to the principal. Jeffrey didn’t allow
me see Joseph alone. He stood by my side
while I discussed with Joseph. He didn’t say
much to Joseph.

“It’s best to stay away from Kate and find
Out Angella’s plans” he’d said
Well Jeffrey thinks Angella won’t sit back
after the fight. I don’t really know if she’s
planning anything but Jeffrey was
determined to find out. I recalled the
surprised look on Joseph’s face on seeing
Jeffrey with me.

“Why is he with you?” He had asked
I wanted to be quick in talking to him. So I
ignored his question. After our discussion
Joseph promised that he won’t do anything
to harm Emeka. Well it was obvious Joseph
was scared of his dad finding out what he
did. I explained things to Elena and Temi.
And I realized Elena wasn’t happy to find
out Joseph likes me. But she tried to hide it
by saying it was okay and that she had
expected it. Temi on the other hand
pestered me to tell them about the new
development between Jeffrey and I. And I
told them, though not the whole story.
“His Aunt stays in my estate.. and Jeffrey is
unhappy because he doesn’t have a mom” I
narrated in few lines.
“So are you guys together now?” Temi
asked
And I replied with a “No”
I didn’t disclose it to them that I was in
love with Jeffrey. It’s better to keep it to
myself.

Elena had been recieving love notes since
about a week from an anonymous person.
And everytime she’s always throwing it
into the bin.

“Why do I have this feeling that you know
the person writing this letters?” I said
“I..I. I don’t know..” She stuttered
Temi and I exchanged glances
“Hmm or you don’t want us to know that
someone likes you” Temi said
“Warn yourself Temi” Elena said with a
deep frown
And why is she mad now?
“Temi, better leave her alone” i said
“No its unfair. Elena likes hearing
someone’s love story but she’s never open
up about her own love story” Temi hissed
and walked away

“Temi..” I followed her
“You shouldn’t be mad at Elena”
“I’m not mad at her. I don’t like it when
someone is too secretive” she said and
walked off

I turned back to Elena who was now close
to me.

“Don’t worry..I’ll talk to her” she said
I went back to my locker to pick the pinpop
Jeffrey gave to me yesterday.

Katherine’s POV
It was on a hot friday afternoon, once
again I was alone during lunch. Jeffrey
didn’t come to school because his
stepmom wasn’t feeling well and his dad
was away in some country constructing
houses. He has really changed towards his
stepmom. And Aunty Joke was impressed,
she even thanked me the last time I visited
the store on saturday.

Actually, she thinks we are dating now!
Well I don’t where she got that the idea!
Elena was working with Mr Daniel again
while Temi was in the basketball room.
Jones had said he wanted her to watch him
play today. Temi had insisted that I follow
her but I declined. And she understood that
I was staying away from Joseph. I would
have joined Emeka to watch the football
players but I wasn’t in the mood. I don’t
really like watching football.

I was missing Jeffrey badly! And I’ve been
thinking of going to his house to check on
him.

Is that a good idea?
Visiting Jeffrey at his home?
How am I going to inform him about it?
I thought deeply
And an idea struck me immediately
I could visit him under the pretense of
bringing school notes to him. And we can
even work our assignments together.
Good Plans!

I smiled at the image on my screen saver. It
was Jeffrey!

I had taken a picture of him in the tuck
shop while he was picking out chocolate
for us. I glanced up from phone when I
sensed a presence in front of me.
“Hi” Angella greeted with a mock smile
I plugged in my earpiece and made an
attempt to leave but she blocked me.
I stared at her.

“Hello..” She snapped her fingers.
“Miss popular bingo” she mocked and her
girls laughed.

I mumbled something indifferently.

Angella leaned forward and I stepped
backward.

“Its obvious you’ve been avoiding me but
here we are again. And where in hell are
your watchdogs?” She laughed and her
girls joined in.

I said nothing, hoping she would just go
away. I knew she felt silly with the way I
was staring at her.

“I don’t see anything special about you..”
She pushed my shoulder
Angella was testing my patience. She want
me to fight but I won’t give in to her
demands.

“please excuse me” I said.
“Where are you going?”
She asked blocking my pathway.
“To the library..I’d rather read some books
than stand around to listen to your
nonsense” I burted and walked away
“Hey!” She called out and grabbed my
hand. I whipped it away aggressively.
“Get lost Angella!” I screamed
“What?” She said in a gasp

The students in the hallway turned their
attention on us. I could see them
whispering into each others ears.
“You heard me” I said

We stared at each other. Angella was
stunned. I knew a hard expression played
on my face.

“Don’t you dare touch me again. You can
go about carrying Joseph in a bowl and
place him on your head so every girl won’t
go near him!” I said loudly
I was breathing hard.
