Chapter 57
Friday Morning
East High School
Senior High Building
Senior Year Three Class
Extra Class Teaching
David and Michel were the first people to enter the classroom waiting for Davina and the teacher to start the class.
David sat down staring into space thinking. Michel has been watching David since the time he stopped being friends with Malia.
He noticed that after he stopped being friends with her, he became quieter than before.
He knew David is deeply in love with her but he is trying hard to keep it in and Michel is sure he won't be able to hold it in longer.
Michel sighed and shook his head, "dummy,"
"He fell hard for her," He said in his thoughts.
"I know he can't cope with it forever," he scoffed
"Love sucks sometimes," he shook his head
Michel watched David sigh as he place his head on the table probably to sleep before the teacher comes.
"It seems it is hard for you to take in, huh," Michel said loud enough for David to hear.
"Are you talking to me," David asked raising his head and staring at Michel with a hidden expression
"Why did you like using the same sentences, huh, are you talking to me," he repeated and scoffed," ain't You tired of using the same sentences every time,"
"I don't know," David shrugged sadly
"How will you know," Michel hissed," Dickhead," he added but David didn't hear.
"Of course, I'm talking to you," Michel said
"Why are you even talking to me," David frowned
"Of course, it isn't because of Malia I'm talking to you," He said
"Why are you talking to me about her," David frowned at him
"Wait, don't tell me you don't want to talk about her," Michel scoffed
"I never said anything," David rolled his eyes
"Your answer said it all, don't worry I won't say anything about Malia again," he shrugged
"What did you want to say," David asked eager to know what he wants to say.
"You look lovesick," Michel shook his head
"I'm not, I just don't get myself," David sighed.
"Yes, you are, since the incident between you and Malia, you have been quiet,"
"But I....," David trailed off
"Anyway, Do you think you can forget about it like that," Michel blurted out
"About what," David asked confused
"Your feelings for Malia," Michel quirked a brow
"Are you trying to mock me about my feelings,"
"I'm not, but I'm just saying the truth," Michel shrugged
"Can You really forget about her like that," He asked
"I can never be able to forget about her like that, I haven't gotten her out of my head, it isn't easy for me," David said truthfully
"Despite what they say about her, I still can't stop loving her," he added
"I knew it won't be able for you to because you really did love her," Michel nodded
"Yes but why are you asking, she is yours anyway,"
"Yes, but we don't love each other, we are the greatest enemy of all times, we will surely collect the award for it if it is given,"
"Really, despite that you guys are already engaged,"
"Will soon be engaged," Michel corrected him
"Yes but they are both sane anyway," David shrugged
"Hmmm ..." Michel nodded
"Why are you even telling me this since she is your property or are you trying to it to rub it on my face," David said shrugging
"No, instead I want to tell you something good for you,"
"What,"
"It is better you talk to her, that is the only way out because you will keep sulking every day if you don't,"
"Are You giving me the permission," David said
"Yes," Michel nodded
"But you told me to stay away from her and now, you are saying I should talk to her," David said confused
"Of course, that is the best way to be free, follow your mind,"
"Why are you urging me,"
"Why is it always in your statement, huh,"
"Answer me, you hate me and now, you are helping me,"
"Yes, I told you to stay away from her because I wanted her to feel lonely and pained but when I look at it, I suddenly felt guilty," Michel Said
"I say she deserves it but the other me says she doesn't," he added sighing
"And you think this is the way out," David asked
"Yes because with the way she is acting, she might kill herself and Rose won't like it," Michel concluded
"Will she forgive me,"
"If she truly loves you, she will," Michel said," but I can't assure you,"
"But I believe you will correct all the mistakes," he added
"Thank you," David smiled lightly
"Hmm, I'm doing this for Rose because she will want to do everything for her too," Michel said
"Hmmm ...," David nodded
"Oops, I can't believe that bald Mr. Harry is getting on my mind," Davina groaned annoying without assessing her environment.
"What is wrong with....," David trailed off as Mr. Harry entered the classroom
"Let's go straight into today's work without wasting any time because time is precious," Mt Harry said and starts writing on the whiteboard without waiting for their response.
"Not again," Davina groaned and hissed

Lunch Break
The bell rang and the students rushed out in troops. It is obvious everyone is hungry.
Malia held Michel's hands lazily which she has been doing for days now.
"Why can't you leave me alone," Michel said as he tried to remove his hand from hers.
"I can't because we are together in this," Malia said
"Never," Michel shook his head
"Anyway, I'm sitting with you today again," Malia told Michel
"No, what about Kelly," Michel asked
"He is busy," Malia snapped
"But I don't want to eat with you," Michel hissed
"Same here but you have to deal with it," She rolled her eyes.
They got their food looking for an empty table to eat, mistakenly, Ivy bumped into Malia.
Ivy screamed," Are you blind b*tch," The girls are present except David who insisted that he isn't eating.
"You are the b*tch, you bumped into m first and despite that, you opened your stinking mouth to talk to me," Malia lashed her back confidently.
Everyone in the cafeteria is now watching with keen attention.
"I have heard enough with your b*tchy self" Ivy hissed and tried to walk away but stopped
"Really, same here," Malia shrugged smiling
"Why don't you move out of the way because I see no reason why I will be exchanging banters with you because I can't see anything good in you," Ivy replied
"You can't see anything because life is too hard for the blind to see," Malia smirked and Michel laughed
"Malia, stop getting worked up because it won't change who you are, if you say anything else, I won't hesitate to tell the whole school who you are, before your dad saves you, everyone will hate you," Ivy said as she came closer to Malia and whispered in her eyes.
"Yes, go on, then I will tell everyone about yesterday when you pushed me in the pool," Malia said loud enough for the other girls to hear.
"What," A shocked expression came out of their mouth and they became pale.
"What are you talking about," Alexis stuttered
"I heard you, girls," Malia shrugged
"So, you don't have evidence against us, so there is nothing," Davina shrugged nonchalantly
"That would have been possible if there Kelly didn't notice it before Michel saved me," Malia smiled
"I might be crazy but being crazy is better than being stupid," Malia added
"What," Their mouth was still left opened
"Wow, cat got your tongue, huh, nobody can hurt me without my permission," Malia laughed
"Enough of this trash you are uttering," Grace said pissed off
"Trash, just because I'm silent doesn't mean I can't talk, it means your stupid a*s don't have ain't worth my time," Malia told them.
"You are a fool, Malia," Mabel said angrily
"I'm not a fool because I'm not arguing with you, only fools toes that and they become foolish, but I'm just clearing some facts," Malia said
"Malia, move out of the way, let's leave," Mabel said annoyed as she pushed Malia
"Don't you ever try that again," Michel said as he held Malia from falling.
"Don't tell me you are taking her side," Ivy scoffed
"Of course, all hubbies are to take their spouse's side whether right or wrong, isn't it darling," Michel asked Malia who is still surprised that he took her side
"Yes," Malia mumbled
"This is unbelievable," Alexis shook her head
"Move," Grace told her
"Can't your common sense tell you that you are the one obstructing us," Malia said as she moved closer to Ivy and smirked mischievously
"Oh, I forgot," Malia said and tapped her head as she added," Common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden,"
Ivy was fuming in anger as she raised her hands to slap but Malia held her hand as she slapped her instead
"This is for betraying me, for insulting me, and for using me," Malia slapped her three times.
Grace cane forward and said," what did you just do,"
"What did you see me do," Malia replied.
Malia took Michel's food and poured it on Ivy who is still shocked by Malia's slap.
"Malia, that is my lunch," Michel hissed
"Sorry," Malia giggled
Malia pushed Alexis as she came forward to her and starts beating her.
"Malia, stop," Michel had to drag her outside till he got to the hallway.
"Why did you stop me, I would have been them to a stupor," Malia removed her hand from him angrily and walked away
"Geez, she is even angry with me when I saved her f*cking damn a*s," Michel hissed
"Now, I missed lunch," He shook and head as he went back to the classroom.

In The Afternoon
5:45 pm...
The Unknown Lady
The Unknown Lady has been trailing after Mabel when jerk face told her about the hidden house in the bush. She wants to know what she is keeping in that house because she feels Mabel knows something about Rose's death.
For the past few days, She noticed Mabel is always going out every day and cautiously look around to notice if anyone is following her.
Today, just like the unknown lady who knew that Mabel would go to the hidden house, so she had come outside early and stayed around that vicinity awaiting Mabel.
As if she had known, Mabel came down from a cab and paid the cab man to watch the area for people that might be watching her.
She starts walking down to the outskirts of the town and the lady follows her silently. She kept turning it on at intervals to check around for anyone suspicious.
"What is she doing here," the Lady thoughts
Then, she got to the bush and kept walking deeper inside till she gets to a bridge and crossed the bridge to the other side revealing a big beautiful house.
She looked around before running inside quickly like she is been followed.
The Unknown Lady followed and silently entered as she saw Mabel hugging another lady but couldn't see the person's face well because the room is dark.
"I have missed you," The girl staying in the house said giggling
"I can't keep coming here, it is dangerous," Mabel sighed and sat down
"I feel someone is following me," Mabel added
"No, I believe you are always careful," The girl said
"Yes,...," Mabel nodded
"Hey, you can't be standing there without offering me something," Michel hissed
"I'm hungry or didn't you cook,"
"Of course, I did, you know I don't have any work to do here precisely," the girl shrugged
"Get me food...," Mabel trailed off
"Mabel Wilhelm," The unknown lady called out her name still standing at the doorstep listening to their banters.
"What," the girl moved back sacred
"What," Mabel said as she stood up nervously afraid of what might happen to stare at the unknown lady...
