LUCIA'S POV
I guided my car into the garage and parked it carefully, I unbuckled my seat belt and opened my car door. Picking up my bag from the passenger sit, I opened the door and stepped out. Ignoring the guards that bowed in greeting to me as I stepped out, I walked towards the door of my father's Mansion. The girls where inside and according to them they've got bad news.
I was just returning from the hospital thanks to father who didn't stop at his earlier punishment to me because of Johnny's case and the idols.
'You'll continue to visit Johnny Davis at that hospital thrice in a week till he recovers, it's your fault that he isn't writing his tests with the rest of his mates so do well to visit him till he recovers.' Dad had said.
Today is the second time I'd be visiting him and thankfully he's always asleep. A relief to my life, I can't stand him opening his eyes which I'm yet to see and get myself in trouble by drooling for his gorgeous face. I shook my head negatively, stopping myself from such thoughts. I should think of Daniel, no one else. I nodded.
Holding the handle of the giant door, I pushed it in and stepped into the living room.
"Hey," I said to the maid I saw immediately I entered.
"Yes Miss Lucia?" She bowed.
"Tell the cook to prepare my favorite dish for me, I'm hungry." I said.
"Okay Miss."she bowed and walked away.
"Hurry up!" I shouted after her. She increased her steps.
I placed my hand on the banister and hurried up to my room.
When I got in, the girls were laying on my bed and staring at their phones sadly.
"Hello girls! What's the news?" I asked flinging my bag somewhere. They sat up Immediately they heard and saw me. Penny huffed in despair, Katie sighed in anger. Probably still angry about Saline and Jay, well.. don't know what to say about that, good thing it wasn't anything like My Daniel and Diva. Wow, that should never happen, because I wouldn't give up without a fight.
"Why are you girls looking like the worst has happened? Tell me whatever it is." I said pulling off my heels.
"You haven't heard right?" Penny asked lowly.
"Hmm, about what?" I asked looking at them from my bent position.
"Just take and see for yourself," Katie said looking away as she stretched her phone to me. I stood up properly and took it. Penny sighed and laid her back on the bed. I rolled my eyes to the phone In my hand.
What... what... My jaw fell open, my eyes widened in consternation. I was so shocked beyond imagination by what I saw that my legs grew weak and I collapsed hard to the floor.
KING OF GIRLS FINALLY SEEN WITH HIS TRUE GIRLFRIEND DIVA SCOTT.
PERFECT MATCH FOR DANIEL ROBERTS.
"NO! It can't be! It... It...shouldn't be! Is this some kinda joke and editing?" My voice cracked, my throat suddenly patched and dry.
"I'm sorry Lu but it is. That's the botanical garden you know." Katie said almost indifferently.
"How can she do this to me? How dare her seduce him and take him from me? No!!!" I screamed flinging the phone away in rage. They were so close and looking so lovey-dovey.
"Hey! That's my phone you know." Katie huffed. I didn't even look at her. No that's my Daniel, he can't be taken from me.
"Seduce you say? Ha! I wish, Daniel was a hardnut, very difficult to crack. How could she possibly seduce him and you couldn't? Sorry Lucia but it seems Daniel's in love with her. That's the botanical garden and we all know Danielle frequents there often, from the look of things it seems Dan went to meet her there himself. We are all affected, it seems the girls did well in sharing the Idols among themselves." I stared at her with furrowed brows.
"What do you mean?"
"I was at the library today and I saw Roe and Tania together, and as you already know, Jay's in love with Saline. And now this. Well I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do about it, the idols refused us and choosed them." Penny said.
"No!" I roared. "There has to be something to do about it. How can I let her take him too after all she's done to me? How?" I sobbed "After all the humiliations even from childhood I can't let her get away with this even though I'm scared of her," I saw them exchanged looks. I sniffed. "...Luciana won't let go this time, not without a fight! Danielle has done more than enough and she has to pay, she took my popularity from me even when I'm still the campus Queen right from the first day they stepped foot on this campus. I'm certainly not gonna let her take away my hope too. She can't have Daniel too. I won't allow it!" I promised myself venomously.
"Well whatever you wanna do, Please count me out. Roe's probably not looking at me now due to your character." I glared at her.
"And what's that supposed to mean Penelope?" I thundered. She sat up on the bed.
"You heard me clearly Luciana, due to your maltreatment and overly insensitive attitude, you've dragged my name down alongside yours. Many good guys never look at me because of you, yes you, the circle I move with. How long would you continue to do evil? How many times have I watched people insult and look down on me because of you? Huh? You go about behaving like you own the world, maltreating and terrorizing others because you want to be powerful and respected. Who told you that's how to gain the respect of people?" She hissed, my mouth fell open. I was stunned. "...Right from teenage age you've always acted irresponsible. How could you even be an actress when you never know how to behave properly? You insult in the worst manners ever, you maltreat your father's workers and even go gainst his orders. No wonder why everyone talks bad about you and praise Diva. Just think of it, how many people have you hurt already? Look at Johnny. The more you are warned the more you do worse things. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do but just know that my friendship with you is over, until you finally come back to your senses. When you've become completely sane, I'm sure you know where to find me!" She spat picking up her purse. I can't believe my best friend just said all that to me.
"Do you realize who you are talking to?" I yelled at her.
"And do you realize WHO is talking to you?" She yelled back. I gulped back speechlessly. She's right, do I realize who is talking to me? I must have forgotten.
"We all know both of you don't love Daniel and Jay you only want them because of the fame but listen carefully you two. I'm in love with Roe regardless of what you all think, and your bad character is pushing him away from me. I'm doing myself a great favour by breaking up friendship with you both until you decide to start acting responsible. I'm fed up with your behaviors. Good luck to you both!" With that said, she stood up and walked out of my room angrily.
I can't believe I just lost my best friend so easily. She must have been putting up with my attitude for long.
"Look on the bright side Lu, Daniel Roberts is still yours, unlike me. But I still ain't gonna give up on Jay, not so easily. And remember I'm still here with you." Katie said encouragingly.
I smirked in understanding....
If I can't revenge this due to her status at least I could still do a little revenge through her academics.
Daniel is still mine whether he likes it or not, until his father says otherwise and we all know Mr Roberts doesn't go back on his words. Honey you can't run away from me. I smirked again......

JADE'S POV
I walked into the common room where my friends were waiting for me, I couldn't get my mind off that guy Daniel whom I bumped shoulders with five hours ago. My mind kept singing 'bad news' bad news' since then. I sighed tiredly and was about sitting down on one of the couch when I was interrupted by one of my friends Neo.
"Dude I don't think you've seen this," he said looking at his phone. The others nodded in agreement.
"He hasn't seen it but yet he's looking so downcast." Raphael my closest friend noted. I rolled my eyes at them.
"What's it?"
"Come see this," Neo said stretching out his phone. We were supposed to be watching a football match now so what's up with them? I lazily walked to him and collected his phone, while they all watched me closely. I looked down at the phone in my hand, I was so shocked by what I saw that I collapsed into a nearby couch.
FINALLY REVEALED, DANIEL ROBERTS TRUE GIRLFRIEND.
I stared at the photos in shock, my emotions changing to that of anger, jealousy, bitterness and self-pity. What's Elle doing with him at that garden? Why is she leaning on his shoulder and staring into his eyes? Why is he holding her hand and smiling at her? Why is she laying on his lap? Is she really dating him now? No! This can't be real, the last time I chatted with Elle she was still single or was she really dating him behind my back?
My face clouded, I was in rage. If she's been in a relationship with Daniel Roberts she should have at least told me, why punish me like this? Why let me hear about it this way?
I tossed his phone back to him in rage, he was lucky to catch it if not it would've smashed to pieces. I stood up angrily.
"Hey man, you need to calm down and...." Raphael was saying, I ignored him and stomped out of the common room, having one place in my mind. UNIQUE QUEENS DORM, she have some explaining to do.
Soon I was already outside the dorm, all the way here I've been calling her line but she wasn't picking up. I got out of my car and looked around for her car it was there but I don't think she's in. I tried her number again, she still didn't pick up. I decided to call her friends good thing I have Cilia's number. On the second ring she picked up. I breathe in heavily.
"Hi Cilia,"
"Hey Jade, what's up?"
"I'm not fine. Please are you girls in? I'm outside your dorm."
"No we ain't. I'm at a friend's the girls are in school I think. If this is about the news, all I have to tell you is sorry, I just saw it myself."
"Are you trying to tell me you are as shocked as I am? That can't be true, you guys are best friends so you must have been aware of this before hand." I said angrily.
"Look Jade, I know very well that Elle told you to give up earlier but you refused, now you are trying to lash out on me? Goodness you were warned before hand, ever before she met Daniel she told you plainly on countless occasions to give up but you didn't. Listen, I'm sorry about how you are feeling right now but take heart. I've gotta go, was busy before your call came in." She hung up. I hitted my car angrily, and buried my head on it. She'll support her friend of cause, but she was right though. Elle did warn me but I told her I wasn't giving up.
Huffing and puffing angrily I entered my car and sat down. I will wait until she return, she have to explain all this to me.
DANIEL'S POV
I pulled the car to a halt in front of her dormitory and smiled at her, my hands still on the steering. Thanks to my beautiful enchantress I feel like the most happiest man on Earth. After the garden, we went on our first date and I just couldn't stop smiling. Diva's just so unique, extremely jovial when she wants to be, enthusiastic, caring and kind. I got to know a lot about her today, including the reason for her tears the other day at the coffee shop. She told me all about the incident that happened about the sister she could have had, I was so touched and felt so sorry for her. I really wish the child never died since she couldn't get over the incident even after nine years. She laughed a lot when I told her I heard what she said in Korean that day, she got to know I have a little Korean blood In me. When I asked her about how she understands Korean, she told me she spent a year at Seoul, South Korea with her mom's friend.
You know what I respect and feel proud of knowing about her? It's the fact that she's never dated anyone before even at her age and in this modern world. I was so surprised when she told me I had to ask her why because I know many guys would kill to be with a girl like her, she said she was waiting for the right man her soulmate as she'd said and I felt so elated because I know that's me because for her to agree to date me it means it's me she was waiting for. Even told Diva's yet to remember me, the fact that I ended up being her Soulmate made me thank destiny and fate. Thinking back now to Goldie, I would love to thank her for breaking up with me, if not I probably would have never met Diva again. I've very glad she did. Comparing both of them, Diva surpasses Goldie in every aspect, In beauty, intelligence, enthusiasm, character and even in body structure, Diva's so blessed.
My heart beats so incredibly fast whenever she's close, I've never felt so connected to any woman like the way I feel with her. Her smile takes my breath away, everything she does mesmerizes me. I would continue to thank my stars for the first day during my childhood life that I met her. No one would stop me from making her mine, not even Dad or Mr Caden, neither can Luciana infact no one can ever, after all this years? I would never let her go again, not on my life.
"You can stop staring now, I'll head in." She said with a slight smile interrupting my train of thoughts.
"How can I? When you're so beautiful." I said smiling, she blushed as her eyes searched mine. I took her hands and kissed it.
"I promise you I will never do anything to hurt you, I'll protect you, defend you and love you forever." I vowed, leaning closer to her face, my eyes wandered to her full lovely salmon lips.
I looked at her eyes, she doesn't seem ready, I love her so much and respect her so I'll clear out every obstacle to our love and behave very proper with her, she deserves the best.
"Uhm Dan..I..." She stuttered, I smiled and pecked her cheek.
"jinjeonghae, nan ajig neoege kiseuhaji anh-eulgeoya, mobsi wonhaedo gildalilge(relax, I'm not gonna kiss you yet, even though I badly want to, I'll wait)" I said in Korean. Her face went crimson and she let out a short nervous laugh. I smiled.
"Ah that.. hahaha...that's not exactly what I was going to say but thanks for understanding with me. I was gonna say you should try and clear out the issue with uhmm your dad." I smiled. "...I don't just want any trouble with Lucia, not like I can't handle her, she knows what I can do to her. But I just don't want anyone bothering our relationship." I chuckled softly and pinched her cheeks slightly.
"Ah ah.."
"You are so cute you know." I smiled into her eyes, she looked at me with a cute pout and I folded my lips unconsciously, Diva's just so beautiful.
"You do that so often you know and each time you do that, I just wanna touch those dimples." I looked at her with an amused smile.
"Really?" She can't be serious, that's so hilarious in a way. Dimples? She raised her hands and touched my cheeks, making me feel a tingling sensation down my spine. She chuckled and withdrew her hand.
"I love dimples but it's a pity that's the only part of my momma I couldn't inherit in terms of physical looks." She said smilingly, that's true Diva's just the younger version of her beautiful mom. The resemblance between them is so striking, very lovely even her eye colour was her mom's. I've seen her photos before so I know.
"Your cheeks feels so soft like a baby's. I should go in now." She leaned up and kissed my cheek, the feel of her lips on my skin was...heavenly.
"Yeah you should go rest," I smiled.
"gusnais yaeya nae kkum(goodnight sweetheart, dream of me)" she said jovially, pulling off her seatbelt.
"ne, salang haeyo(sure, I love you)" I said.
"*nado salanghae(I love you too)*" She opened the car door and stepped out. "Jal gayo(goodbye)" she smiled and shut the door.
I smiled as I watched her walk towards her dorm, I placed my hand on the ignition switch to start the car and drive off but I was interrupted when the car that was parked few meters from mine opened and a guy stepped out. I furrowed my brows and made to remove my seat belt and step out but I stopped when I recognized him, Jade. Diva told me about him already, I'll leave them to talk but I'll still sit here and watch in case she needs my help.
The position he is in right now, I understand it cause I've been there but mine was slightly different. I was in a relationship with the girl but he isn't. He's just someone she sees as a friend but he likes her, I refuse to use the word _ love. Sorry bro, you'll be fine.
DIVA'S POV
I was smiling happily thinking of all that's been happening, anticipating to fill the girls in as I walked towards the dorm building when I was interrupted by someone who called my name.
"DANIELLE!" That's Jade's voice but why does it sound like he's angry? and what's he doing here by this time of the day? I turned around to face him and he walked towards me.
"Hey Jade! What are you doing here?" I asked casually. Jade's face was clouded and his eyes where swollen like someone who didn't get enough sleeping or has been crying, he looks so bitter and sad.
"Are you okay?" I asked Immediately he reached me.
"Is it true?" He asked me with such a pained expression.
"What's true? What are you talking about?" I asked him puzzled.
"Cut the crap Elle! You fucking know what I'm talking about, so just admit it to my face that you've been dating Daniel Roberts behind my back all this while. Just admit it, damn it!" He thundered.
Wait! Did Jade just used a curse word on me? Did he just shouted at me for what I know not?
"First of all Jade, I won't have you walk up to me and shout at me. Secondly I won't I repeat, I won't have you use curse words on me for reasons best known to yourself. Thirdly, you have no right whatsoever to accuse me. How dare you Jade! How dare you! Huh? Speak up!" I yelled back.
"Are you trying to say you don't know what I'm talking about? That you've not been dating Daniel Roberts? That the news about you two and all those romantic photos are fake? Huh? Is that what you are trying to say? Elle why is it him and not me? Okay fine! You told me you couldn't date me or anyone else because you don't love me in the way that I do love you and because you haven't met the right man. So is he the one? Is he the reason why you haven't been dating all this while? Fine even If he is, why do you let me find out in this manner? Why couldn't you inform me before making your public announcement? Why? Do you even know how hurt I feel right now? Answer me Elle!" He said a little bit calmer as tears ran down his cheeks. I swallowed painfully trying to stop the tears that was about rushing up from wherever, my throat went dry and painful as my eyes sting me.
"We only started dating today. Yes he is the one I've been waiting for all this while, the reason for my singleness, the reason I turned everyone else down. My relationship with Dan dates back many years ago although I'm yet to understand it too. About the photos I had no either those students already uploaded it so soon. I wasn't planning to reveal my relationship with him to the world already when we only began dating today." I fought back my tears I can't cry on this day when I'm so happy.
"But still Elle, you know how I love you, ain't I good enough? I'm also wealthy too, although I'm not very much regarded as someone really high in this country but I'm very well recognized and respected in my home country. My dad is a very respected governor, if it's about the excess wealth and his societal status, I can also take care of you. Look at us, don't we look so perfect together? I mean we have this perfect similarity, black blood runs in our veins. We would be perfect together, how can you love him? He's a total stranger. Elle please just ignore his wealth and look..." I've been hearing and ignoring all he's been spluttering but this is too much. He's gone to the extreme, how dare he think I'm with Daniel because of his wealth even after all I just said to him! My resounding slap cut off the rest of his intended gibberish. I was very angry, Jade of all people should know that I'm not a gold digger. He was shocked that I slapped him.
"You must be insane. You've lost your mind! How dare you speak of me in such a manner as if I'm a common gold digger? Do I look like a cheap money minded bitch to you? Jade how could you see me as such when I just explained to you that my relationship with Dan didn't just start today? I can't love him but I should love you? Am I the one in control of my fate? My heart choose him and not you. How is that my fault? You should know better than this, because you were warned. Since when did you become a racist? Huh! If you've forgotten, I'll remind you, I Danielle have three countries blood running through my veins. I'm a mixed race child Jade! How could you stoop so low by looking down on me Jade, what did you take me for? A commoner? Did you forget my surname? I'm freaking wealthy dude get that into your brain. I alone can take care of thousands of people even without my parents help, so how dare you think I'm after Daniel because of his wealth! If you don't know, you better know now, there's no much difference between Daniel and I. His father is the wealthiest business man in America, mine is the fifth. After all I told you, how could you think so low of me just because you were rejected? Whose fault it that? Mine?" I was ranting terribly as the tears I was trying to hold back poured in enormous amounts. Jade was already on his knees begging for Mercy. This guy really disappointed me so bad!
"Elle please I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me please forgive me! I swear I'll never repeat it again. Please don't hate me because of this, it was all mine fault. I was so jealous and bitter that I didn't think before..."
"If you had given up from the first time I asked you to, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Didn't I warned you? I cried and begged you to give up on me but you were so adamant and bent on winning my heart -which was never yours- that you didn't listen to me..." My eyes wandered around the quiet night. I Know Dan's still around, he did well in letting me handle this. I looked back at Jade who was still kneeling down.
"I warned you but you didn't listen, it's truly your fault. I don't regret waiting for my Mr Right because it did pay off. Surely did, I met someone who was once cold hearted and was able to transform him to what he is now." I wiped my eyes with a smile. "...I don't think we'll be seeing each other again. It's late, I'm going to bed." With that said, I turned around and walked to the Dormitory, not sparing him a second glance.
He has probably lost me as a friend too, but it's his fault.
DANIEL'S POV
I shook my head sadly, he surely did crossed the line. I heard and saw all that happened.
Sorry bro she's mine already, go find another, one that's yours truly.
I started my car and drove off.
