Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 58

I knew my words touched her. Laughter
erupted from the students in the hallway.
“Please let her know!” Someone said
Angella was so embarrassed. She couldn’t
close her mouth properly.

“I..I..I’ll deal with you” she pointed.
Angella turned and walked away foolishly
with her friends.

“She’s jealous of Senior Kate”
“I don’t even like her attitude”.
“I hate Angella Benson”

Those were the handful of comments from
the students. I sighed and made my way to
the library.

*****

Emeka,Elena,Jones and Temi joined me
after school. We made our way to the
garage. Emeka offered to drive me home
while Temi and Jones are going home in
Elena’s car.

“We heard what happened today between
you and Angella” Jones said

“Did you really tell her to get lost?” Emeka
asked

“Yes” I replied
“hmm kate I hope what happened today
won’t cause big trouble for you” Jones said
“I don’t care..” I replied
“I’m worried..” Elena said in a disturbed
tone.

“Elena you are nice to worry about me but
I’ll be fine” I said before entering Emeka’s

car. I was ready to face Angella anytime.
“See you on monday” they waved

•••••••••

Jeffrey’s POV
“Jeffrey! Your phone is ringing!” My
stepmom said loudly from the sitting
room. I was in the kitchen washing dishes.
“I’ll be out soon” I replied
I removed the rubber gloves and wiped my
hands on towel. I turned to see my
stepmom at the entrance.

“You shouldn’t have bother -”
“Its important to you” she replied with a
shrug

“Come on she’s waiting” she said with
smile.
She?

I collected the phone to check the caller ID.
My Heartthrob!

It was kate!
My phone stopped beeping. I looked at my
stepmom.

“Don’t worry, go and talk to her. I’ll finish
up” she said

“Go.. Go..” She pushed me out of the
kitchen.

We aren’t close but we are good now.
Losing my unborn sibling really pained me.
And I figured Miss Lola deserves to be
happy with my dad.

Kate was calling! I’d saved her number as
“My Heartthrob”. Miss Lola must have
suspected something for her to conclude
that the call was important. I have spoken
to Kate in her presence but I haven’t
informed her that I was in love with Kate.
I walked to my bedroom and redialed
Kate’s number. She picked on the first ring.
“Hi Jeffrey” she greeted

“Hello Kate, Sorry I missed your call”
“No problem, I realize that you must be
busy that why I didn’t call back” she said
“Not..Too busy, I was washing some
dishes”

“Okay..” she said
“So how was school today?”
“Boring..and awful. Boring because I was
alone”

“What about Elena and Temi?”
“Elena helped Mr Danny with scripts and
Temi had to watch Jones play and Emeka
watched football” she explained
“That must have been pretty boring for
you”

“Yes..And awful in the sense that Angella
attacked me today”
“What?! Why?” I said with a concerned
tone.

“You don’t have to worry, I didn’t let her
get away today” she said

I was already thinking of a way to teach
Angella a lesson of her life..One she will
never forget. I’d tried to find out about her
plans but I didn’t find anything.

No secret movement with her girls! I’ve
been tracking her since the encounter in
the basketball room. And most of all I paid
my little friends Nora and Cora to help me
inspect the female’s toilet just in case
Angella already set up a trap..But none. I
became friends with Nora and Cora
because they like Kate too. Actually, we are
walking together to unravel Angella’s
devious plans. Those girls are determined
to teach her a lesson. They believed that
Angella deserves to learn in a hard way.
Kate narrated her encounter with Angella
in the hallway. I was happy Kate had put
Angella in her place.

“You have to be careful” I said
“Jeffrey, I know..”

“So did you talk to Joseph?”
“No” she said
“Okay..”
“Hey Jeff -” she called

“Yes”
“What will you be doing tomorrow?”
Tomorrow Is Saturday!
“I can’t go to the Store yet because I have
to take care of my stepmom”
“Yeah I know..”

I would have suggested a date but I can’t
risk it. My dad won’t be home until Sunday
morning.
“Actually, Mr Daniel gave us some
mathematics questions”
I sighed out loud

“How many note do I need to write?”
“Four, Economics, Maths, literature and
English”

Now how do I get the mathematics
questions?

Mr Danny won’t listen to excuses. He
doesn’t care if you show up at school or
not. Even if you are sick you have to do his
assignment.

“So..I was thinking..of bringing the notes
to your place” Kate said in a low tone. I
could barely make out the words.
“I can come over to your place..So we can
do the mathematics assignment together”
she said clearly

I felt a familiar tinge of happiness! Kate
wanted to come to my home! Thank
Goodness I didn’t have to suggest it.
“Are you there Jeff?”
I was too stunned to talk.
