Chapter 54
7:25 am... Tuesday Morning
The Unknown Lady's Resident
The lady came out of the bathroom ready for today's work. She woke up quite early today without waking to wait for her alarm to ring and remind her to wake.
She picked up her lotion and rubbed it on her body. Afterward, she put on her clothes and walked toward the dressing table.
She attended to her hair as she applied hair cream and combed it before packing it in a neat bun.
She stood and stand straight in the presence of the mirror and smiled
"I'm so beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, everything," she said and shook her ass.
Her phone buzzed for an incoming video call by her favorite person.
"Jerky, Jerk," she said smiling as she waved at him immediately she picked up the video call
"Kinky, you are looking so beautiful," he said
"Of course, I'm born beautiful," She blushed and turned around for him to see
"Yes, that isn't a lie at all," He nodded
"Even more than Paige," she said and smirked
"No, my darling is more beautiful," He rolled his eyes
"Of course not, you and I know I'm more pretty than her," She hissed
"No," he shook his head
"Just say the truth, Paige isn't here with us right now," She said
"No, I'm not saying anything because the kinky I know might be recording it and sent it to her, then later deny it that you don't know anything," he paused and smiled," Paige is so beautiful more than you,"
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes
"So where are you," She asked after a silence
"Office," he said rubbing his eyes," I worked overnight trying to get some files done and I'm not still done,"
"Ohhh, sorry, that is the reason why I'm not surprised that you didn't call me," She shrugged and sat down on her bed.
"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't call you," He told her
"Yes, no problem, you have a lot on your table and I'm even sorry for stressing you," She sighed
"No, it is nothing, it is even fun looking for more secrets, it's been a long I have done something like this, so I miss those experiences," He told her
"Hmmm...," She muttered nodding
"I don't have too much time, I'm talking to you because my boss isn't yet around," He said
"Did you get the message I sent to you on Friday morning," He added
"Yes, I did, it is even getting deeper,"
"Yeah and I found out something else," he said and brought out his laptop, typing something on it.
"What else did you find," she asked feeling curious
"You know I told you about Ivy Winslet, Grace Bennett, Alexis Wilhelm, and Alex Winslet entered the room before Malia and Rose," he paused and she nodded
"Let me say this, Malia, Rose, Ivy, Mabel, Alexis, and Grace, were all best friends but Malia and Rose were the closest because they have known each other knowing the others," he said
"Because of Mabel's crush on Kelly Martin, the only boy best friend to Malia, she became closer to them than the girls," he continued
"When all this was happening, Mabel wasn't part of the girls. So after, Rose's death, she became close to Ivy and the other girls and drifted apart from Malia," he said
"Why will she become closer to them than Malia," she asked frowning
"I don't know, why but it must be a reason," He said
"And one more important thing, After Rose's death, Mabel starts going to a hidden house in a secluded area in the woods," he added
"A hidden house in the woods," she repeated frowning
"Yes and she looks very suspicious," He nodded
"What could be in that house," she asked
"Well, I don't know, it will be hard tracking that place," he told her
"Alright, thanks jerky," she said smiling
"You are welcome," he returned the smile
"Don't worry, if I find out anything else, I will let you know," he said
"Ok, I will be expecting them,"
"I have to go, my boss, is already in his office seeking my attention, I have to answer him,"
"Alright bye, my regards to Paige," She said smiling
"Alright bye," He said and shut down the call.
"What will she be doing there," She pondered

In The Afternoon
East High School
Senior High Building
Senior Year Three Class
The class is so quiet, most of them are sleeping, while some are chatting, and some are reading or writing.
Malia sat at the back of the class resting her head on the table.
Then, Mr. Baldwin came inside the class, although it is rare for him to come inside the class. The whole class stood up to greet him
"Good afternoon, Mr. Baldwin,"
"Good afternoon, Senior final year class student," He said smiling
"How do you do sir,"
"How do you do," he repeated and they sat down
"Well, without wasting much time, The reason why I came here is because of the National quiz that is coming up next week Monday, although it is coming late from me I'm sure the representatives are good enough to take the risk," he paused and looked around with his eyes
"So I want the representatives to be prepared when I call your name and it will be two people that will be representing East High School"
"The two students that will be representing the school are Malia Stewart and Kelly Martin," he said
"So the both of you should meet your English teacher for directives of what to read and learn.
"Alright sir," they said together
"Good, I want the others to support them for the competition," he said
"Yes sir," they all said
"Is there anything anyone would like to say," he said as he looked at everyone and Ivy raised her hand
"Yes Miss Winslet," he nodded
"Sir, why must it be Malia that must go to the competition," She said
"Do you have any reason why she shouldn't," he asked
"Yes because she isn't the only best student in the class," she said
"But she isn't the only one going, I also mentioned Kelly's name right," he quirked a brow
"Yes sir," she nodded
"Good,"
"But sir, she isn't supposed to be going to the competition," She repeated
"Young lady, you don't have any reason why she shouldn't go to the competition right,"
"But Sir, What I'm trying to say....,"
"What you are saying doesn't make sense, if you have an issue with Malia, face her not me,"
"But I can also go for it,"
"Then, if you are among the best students, then you will be considered,"
"If you don't have anything to say, please take your seat," he shushed her
Ivy looked at Malia and glared at her as Malia smirked at her while she is sitting down.
"Is there anything else," He asked
"Well, since there is nothing else, I will be on my way, good day," he said and walked out of the class.
"Congratulations to us," Kelly said and Malia giggled hugging him
"Let's meet our English teacher for more information," Kelly said and held her hand as they walked out together.
"Geez, what is going on with Ivy, why is she behaving like this," Michel thought watching Ivy and David.

After School Hour
Christy came out of the school building and walked towards the car with Ivan walking along with her.
They entered the car because they are using the same ride.
"Ermmm... Den, please drop me at Crest Estate," she told the driver immediately they entered the car.
"Yes Christy," The driver nodded and started driving out of the school parking lot
"So where are going to," Ivan asked frowning
"I'm going to Tega's House," she replied
"Why are you going there," he asked
"Dylan told me that he isn't feeling too well that is why Dylan brought his project to school," She said
Tegs didn't come to school today because he wasn't feeling too well, so he sent his project from Dylan to Christy to submit it. The illness that is affecting him is just a slight fever nothing else.
"Hmmm, both of us aren't that close to going to his house," He quirked a brow
"Yes, we aren't but he is my partner, that is why," she shrugged avoiding his eyes
"Really, so,"
"He is our captain," She added
"Now, you sound like him," he hissed
"Anyway, I just felt like seeing him because I couldn't see him today," She blurted out
"Why will you want to see him," he paused and smirked," wait, don't tell me you love him,"
"What, love him, that is impossible," she scoffed
"Liar, your expression says it all," he said
"Of course not, I don't like him," she rolled her eyes
"Really,"
"Yes, ...," She nodded
"But I don't think you are...," Ivan trailed off
"We are here at Crest Estate," The driver announced and she breathe in and out before stepping out of the car
"How are you going to get home," he asked as he popped his head out of the car window
"There is something called a cab," she replied
"Call me when you are coming," he told her and she nodded.
"Drive Den," Ivan told the driver to drive off and he did
She walked down to a duplex located at the center of the estate on the right. She knocked at the gate before the gateman open the door, she thought
"Gosh, why did I even want to visit him in the first place," she sighed
"Damn the thought that told me to come here,"
"There is no going back because I'm here," she said," I can do this," She assured herself
The gate opened and a man in his mid-fifties came out.
"Good afternoon sir," she greeted politely
"Good afternoon dear," he smiled lightly," what do you want,"
"Please, I'm looking for Tega Darwin," She said nervously
"Tegs Darwin," He repeated
"Yes, he is my classmate, I heard he isn't feeling well that is why I came to check on him," she explained quickly
"Ohh," he nodded as he looked at her uniform," East High School," he asked to confirm
"Yes, "
"Come in,"
She came him and he directed her to the main door of the house.
She got to the door and knocked.
A faint voice answered," I'm coming," and the door opened and revealed a woman who looks like Tega.
"Good afternoon ma'am," she bowed
"Good afternoon dear," she replied smiling
"I'm looking for Tega,"
"Tega," she said as she looked at her uniform and gasped," wait you are his girlfriend,"
"No, ma'am, I'm just his....,"
"Oh my, come in dear," she dragged her in and shouted," Tega, your girlfriend is around,"
"Tegs, come downstairs," she shouted again
"Ma'am, I'm not his girlfriend," I tried explaining to the innocent woman but it seems hard
"Don't be shy dear, I love you, already without him introducing you to me,"
"This isn't what I expected," she sighed inwardly
"Your girlfriend is here,"
"My girlfriend," Tega said coming outside his room
"Yes,"
"I don't have a girlfriend," he said
"Then, who is she," his mum asked and snapped
"Huh, who," he turned and looked at me shocked
"Christy," he said and ran downstairs immediately
"Hi," I smiled nervously
"Why didn't you tell me you have a girlfriend," his mum asked angrily
"Mum, she is not," he shook his head
When he repeated it, she felt sad ad she couldn't say why.
"Why won't I say it," she paused and smiled at me," you have never brought a girl to this house and a girl has not visited Yiu before, why won't I think she is your girlfriend," she sighed
"She is not mum, stop making her uncomfortable,"
"Christy, why don't you take your seat..," He called my name
"No, it isn't necessary, I heard from Dylan that you weren't feeling well, so I decided to see if you are ok," She told him
"And I see you are fine, I need to take my leave,"
"But you just came," he said frowning
"Yes, I didn't tell my parents I will be visiting you and Ivan would be at him by now, so I have to go," she explained
"I hope I'm disturbing you," his mum said
"No, ma'am," Christy shook her head
"Bye then, I will see you in school tomorrow I guess," She said
" Yes," he nodded
"Good bye ma," Christy said
"Bye dear, I will love you see you later," his mum said and Christy nodded before running out.
"Phew, that was ..., I don't know," She sighed shaking her head.
"Mum, you chased her away," she heard what Tega said and walked out to get a cab...
