Sitting in class, l listened with undivided attention to the announcement the teacher was giving……
I widened my eyes in surprise
Is she for real?Loretta asked in whispers, she was seated beside me
I thinks so . I responded dryly
But ma! how do you expect us to take a test by 6:30 when Chase concert starts by 7:00? a girl seated in front asked rudely and the whole class became noisy
She is right! She is right!
We all want to go to concert!
Cancel the stupid test ! My class mates kept on screaming ……..
Calm down! the teacher shouted to get attention and the class immediately became calm
Do you think the test is a joke? She started, only those who pass the test will be able to graduate from this school. She added
But ma you can move the date forward , we can’t afford to miss Chase concert? Loretta suggested and the teacher scoffed
The test is going to hold today and that is final. She finalised and stormed out of the class
And as expected, the class became noisy again…..
Oh my gawd! What are we going to? Loretta sighed, she was clearly frustrated
I don’t know , we will ….. I tried to say but she cut me off
Do something Candy , you are a celebrity and I am sure the authorities will listen to you …
I shook my head negatively
I might be a celebrity, but that does not I have the right to do that ….
Oh right! So what are we going to do Miss celebrity student? She rolled her eyes and I glared at her playfully
We will take the test, and when we are done we will head to the concert hall. I suggested and she sighed
Alright !
I brought out my phone from the back pack and dialled Chase number
he picked it on the third ring …….
hello baby! he greeted, he sounded so tired
hi Chase! how are you? Where are you? I asked in a rush and he chuckled
Which should I answer first
Just answer all . I rolled my eyes
Fine! I am fine and I am in Dave’s house with Nick.he answered picking his words …. we will be going to the concert hall from here but I can come pick you up if you want . he added
There will be no need for that , I will still be in school by then
Why? What will you be doing in school by 6:00? he asked and I sighed
a screening test , the teacher just informed us about it
Oh! If that is the case , i will have to go without you
Sure baby , but I will head there as soon as I am done with the test . I assured
No Candy . you don’t need to , it will be too stressful and risky for ….. he tried to say but I cut him off
It won’t , Loretta will be with me……..
Fine! he agreed
Okay baby , see you in the evening. I said and ended the call……
What did he say? Loretta asked
he will be going to the concert hall along with his manager and your boyfriend. I winked at her and she blushed
I can’t wait to see my Nick . I heard her say and I smiled…………

Dora Delgado ( Chase ‘s mum)

Sitting in my room , I was lost in my own thoughts
I kept on thinking about Chase words………Roxy’s lover is suspected to be her killer………..
Gosh! this is kind of confusing because I am not even sure of it….
but on that day Andy came over to the house , I was sure I heard moans coming out from her room….
*
*
I was soon feeling sleepy so I headed to my room , I passed through Roxy room and stopped when I heard funny sounds coming out of the room.
I moved closer and placed my ears on the door, the funny sounds were Roxy moans
I was surprised
I tried to push the door opened, but it was locked …..
What were they both doing? I couldn’t bring myself to believe they were having sex… I mean how could Roxy be in a relationship with her son’s manager?
I sighed
Can Andy be the killer? I guess I need to inform Chase …’
I will tell him after his concert , I don’t want him to be distracted……….

Andy

Glancing at the time, it was 6:30.
I smirked evilly , time for the game to begin..
I picked up my phone and dialled a number and the person immediately picked it
hello bosco ! I greeted
hi Andy! he responded and I smiled
It is time to act , do not make any mistake
Sure Andy , you should know me better by now .he boasted
Lure her out of the concert and send her to hell. I instructed and ended the call…….
I laughed out loud
Killing them at once won’t be any fun , I will first make them suffer by destroying their loves ones
Too bad for the girl , but there is nothing I can do about it …….
It isn’t my fault she holds a special place in the heart of my two enemies……:Nick who threw me away after using me and Chase the master mind behind everything……

Chase Delgado
*
After leaving Dave home, he drove us over to the Concert hall
Maintain an eye contact with your fans, give your fans what they want , blow them a kiss , be polite……. Dave kept on advicing or should I say lecturing me
Oh yeah! I drawled and Nick chuckled, he was seated beside me at the back seat
Just let him be , he knows what to do . he said and I smiled…….
*
On getting to the concert hall, Andy parked in front
The reporters quickly rushed to us but the police securities who came with us immediately surrounded the car
I guess having a security is not a bad idea. Nick drawled and I nodded….
*
Alighting from the car, I was surprised to see the hall so crowded
I sighed
The whole place went wild when we walked in, the screams could deafen a man…
Chase ! Nick! Chase ! Nick! they kept on screaming
How I wished I just stayed at home. Nick bit his lips and I chuckled
Thanks bro for coming along with me ……..
*
On getting to the front , I climbed the stage while Nick and Dave went over to the back stage ……..
Chase! Chase ! Chase! the crowd kept on screaming
Good evening! I greeted and flashed them a smile which I immediately regretted doing because the hall turned to something else
Two ladies in front fainted , while some were trying to climb up the stage ….
D--n! I guess i should just start singing
*
I signalled to the instrumentalist to start playing and when they did, I began singing……
*
*
*
It is a beautiful feeling
*
What we have got inside
*
We got a flame that will last forever
*
Together you and I
*
Such a rush of emotions
*
There is no way we can push it away
*
Because they can never break
*.
Our bond will never break
*
Do you believe In the power
*
Of every lasting love ……………………..

After the test , I rushed out of the school along with Loretta and Tiffany
I glanced at my wristwatch, it was 7:45
D--n! We were already late ….
We headed to the taxi station and flagged down a taxi
We all got in
The concert hall. I called and the driver drove off……
Are you sure we are already late? Loretta asked
No, the concert will end by 8:30Tiffany answered her
I sighed in anger
Can’t this car move any faster? I barked at driver and he increased the speed of the car
Better!
*
*
We soon got to the concert hall and the driver parked in front
Aren’t you gonna wear a disguise? Loretta asked
I wish to , but I did not come with any
Here, take this. Tiffany handed me a black scarf
Thanks. I smiled…
We alighted from the car and I paid the driver an extra amount for wasting his time
Thanks ma’am. he appreciated with a smile and drove off
I wrapped the scarf around my face and was about to walked in when I felt someone tap me …..
I looked in the direction and saw it was Loretta, she was staring at something
I followed her gaze and saw a black car at the corner of the street, it was as if the occupants was watching or waiting for someone
Isn’t it strange? She asked and I shrug
Let us go in, I guess they are here for the concert also…
*
Walking into the concert , I sighed in frustration
The whole place was crowded and we had to squeeze and push until we found a spot at corner of the hall …..
Chase voice filled the whole hall and I jumped up to get a glimpse of him but couldn’t, the crowd was just too much …..
I guess we just have to sing along with him then. Tiffany said
*
We joined the crowd in singing and I scoffed when a girl in front of me fainted…….
Is she for real?
We kept on singing and i felt someone squeezed a paper into my hands
I paused
I looked around but all I could see was the crowd
I shuddered a little bit
I stared at the paper in my hand and opened it …
I felt my heart beat faster as I read it
“Candace come outside , i have something important to tell you , meet me at the corner leading to the bus station”………..
Who could this be?
Loretta! Tiffany ! I called but they were too engrossed in the music to hear me call……
Oh right! I drawled
I tightened the scarf around my face and squeezed and pushed till I got outside…..
I kept on walking till I got to the corner leading to the bus station .
At last ! I removed the scarf from my face and was about to tie it around my waist when two men came out of no where, they were both holding guns
I panicked
Who are you? I asked with a trembling voice
We are your fans . One of them replied with a grin
I turned back and tried to run but it was too late, I felt a bullet pierce through my lower stomach…
And with a loud cry , I fell to the floor and ….. black out……..

Loretta Samuels
*
This guy is just too good. I squealed in excitement as I danced to Chase music…..
Candy! I am so so jealous…. I tried to say but stopped when I notice she was no longer beside me
Where is Candy? I asked Tiffany who was wriggling her body excitedly
What did you say ? She asked with a grin
I said where is Candy ? I repeated with a louder voice
She was right beside you . She answered and I bit my lips to stop myself from yelling at her
Are you blind ? Can’t you see she is no longer beside me? I asked in a huff
She stopped dancing and looked around
Let’s us go and check outside, she might be there…..
We squeezed and pushed till we got outside
I looked around but Candy was no where to be found
Where could she be? I wondered
I walked closer to one of the reporters and greeted her
hi! She responded
Sorry to disturb you, but please did you by any chance see a girl with a black scarf wrapped around her face
Yes, she came out of the hall and rushed down the road , I was ….. she tried to say but I cut her off
Thanks.
*
We hurried down to the direction the woman gave us but we didn’t find her
I sighed in frustration
Where the hell is Candy?
We were about heading back to the hall when we heard a gun shot
Did you hear that? Tiffany asked and I nodded
We rushed to the direction of the gun shot and got there just in time to see two men leaving in a rush
Oh my gawd! I exclaimed in shock as I saw a lone body on the floor
It is not Candy , it can’t be Candy. I kept on mumbling as I walked towards the body
It is Candy! Tiffany announced , she got there before me
I rushed towards Candy and bend to hold her to me
Blood was gushing out of her abdomen and she was breathing faintly
I brought my phone from my pocket and was about dialling Chase number when I had a change of mind
Chase was still singing at his concert and he would go crazy on stage if I tell him about Candy .. and instead I dialled Nick number
He picked it up immediately
hello baby ! he greeted, the noise in the background was deafening, I could not hear him clearly so I decided to do all the talking
Nick! Listen to me , Candy has be shot , we are close to the bus station, please come right now and make sure Chase is not aware about it . I informed and ended the call…
I immediately dialled the emergency number
hi! We need your help, Candace Noah has been shot close to the concert hall, we need the medics here now . I yelled
I shifted my gaze to Candy …..
Just hang it there friend , help is coming ………
