“Happy Birthday, Gaby,” they all chorused, walking towards her simultaneously.

The hall was larger than Gaby had expected. She looked at their faces one after the other, each radiating with smiles.

“Wow. This is too big. Who put everyone up for this? Craig?” She called out, looking into his eyes.

He reached her first, engulfing her in a hug and pressing his lips on her forehead.

“I love you step sister.” He muttered to her.

Gaby’s heart warmed as she heard it. They were not siblings, and he took her in as his own. When her mom told her about remarrying, the first thing that came to her mind was the family they’ll be getting married to. If they’ll accept her, and if the son her mother claimed he had would be nice to her.

The first day she got to the house, he was not around, but when he got back, he arrived with many things. She remembered him standing in front of her door, his expression stiff as it could be, and with a bag in his hand.

    “Where do you think you’re going to? To call your parents or to tell the school board you’ve been threatening a girl because you had leverage on her?” Craig half yelled at Bianca, silencing her immediately.She glanced at all of them, her eyes settling on Gaby after.“It’s either you tell them, or I do the telling. You guys are holding me against my will. You lied to me. You called it a fucking birthday party you wanted to attend with me! And now you’re bringing me here…“Would you like it better in a court place? Because I assure you, things can get more interesting there.” Elena cut her off, stepping forward to meet her.“Enough of all this!” Gaby yelled out.“You’ve all heard what I did. Let her go, and let everyone go. I’m so sick of all this, not to talk of…” she glanced at them all, shrugging and allowing a scoff to escape her lips.“It’s my fucking birthday. And you guys decided to ruin it by you trying to help me. Thanks.” She finished as she walked towards the door.“She did

    The whole school seemed different to Elena the next day. It was as if everyone was minding their business and ensuring nothing happened. Just like how she took an Uber yesterday, she was already calling one when Silver arrived at the front of her door and asked to ride with her. They didn't say anything to each other throughout the ride, and as she packed her car, Elena muttered thanks to her before dashing out of the car.She had several messages from Craig, but she was not in any mood to reply to anyone. Gaby hadn't texted, she didn't say anything, and it kind of hurt her, making her think she didn't really care about her. Like she thought, everything was just fake right from the start.“Elena, have you heard what’s going on?” She suddenly heard Silver say beside her, eyeing her as she halted in her steps.“What’s going on?” she questioned, continuing her walk immediately.“Check the gossip forum. Seems Craig was serious when he said he would involve their parents. And if you didn’t

    Unlike the way Elena had predicted, nothing interesting happened. Even the students minded their business and the things they said. Craig and Gaby didn’t show up to school, same with Bianca. Most of the science students mocked her two minions, the two of them suffering at the hands of people they’ve dealt with now that Bianca was not in school.Bianca was not one to miss school, even if the snow was falling hard. She’ll still come to school in her heated long car which Elena had no idea the name was, and drape her coat on her body.“I’m sure they won’t have shown up if they knew she was not going to come,” Elena said to Silver as they entered her car.“Or they didn’t see the gossip forum on time, and when they saw it, they called Bianca, and she didn’t pick up. I wonder what’s going on.” Silver said, starting the car and zooming out of the school compound.“Do you want to go out? Have fun before you return home?” Silver glanced at Elena and asked.Elena's lips curled up into a small s

    “So why are you here? I didn’t call to tell you I’m hungry?” Elena asked, taking another slice of the pizza and munching it.“I also didn’t tell you my address. She gave you that, right?” She asked, nodding her head without waiting for an answer.Craig sighed as he stood up from the chair, dipping his hand in his pocket and bringing out a customized paper that was folded to the last bit.“She asked me to give you this.” He said as he stretched it to her.Elena eyed the paper for a bit while she chewed, “drop it.” She said.Craig's lips curled up with a small smile as he dropped it on the table beside the sofa.“She was thinking you won’t collect it.”“I will. I’ll read it and do exactly what someone did to me, which is not to do anything about it.”“Elena,”“Craig, this is none of your business. What is going on between the both of us is none of your business. You sit back and watch.” She cut him off before he could say anything.“I know it’s between you guys. But Elena, Gaby has been

    Elena’s eyes roamed the contents of the letter, a part of her touched and the other not moved a bit.“What’s that?” She heard her mother say as she hurriedly crumpled the paper in her hands.“It’s nothing.” She replied, standing up and walking away to her room.She closed the door, locking it before flopping onto the bed. She brought out her phone and met a message from Craig.“Hi, I’m home already.”Her lips curved into a small smile as she texted him back, the both of them immersing themselves in a conversation.“Did you read the letter she wrote to you?” He asked after an hour of chatting.“I did. I wasn’t touched by that.” She texted back.She was about to continue texting when a call entered. Rolling her eyes and laying on her back as Craig’s name was displayed on her phone.“So you won’t call while we’re chatting but would because of Gaby?”“Elena, please.”“For fuck’s sake,” she cut him off. “I told you already not to get involved. We’ll sort it out; it’s a girl's matter, not a

    By the time Elena was done dressing, only a few minutes were left before Craig arrived. “We did a good job here,” Silver and Elena's mom said, making a high five as they checked out Elena in the mirror. Her hair was down to her neck, with curly tips. Her face was full of makeup that complemented her skin tone. “I’m fucking pretty,” Elena said as she stood up. A silver necklace her mother borrowed her sat on her neck, and the pair of earrings also dropped down to her shoulder. “Let’s go downstairs. Take some pictures, and we’re all set.” Her mother said as she picked up the black bag Elena took with the dress. They had just gotten to the last step when Elena’s phone came alive, her tone blaring. She exchanged a look with Silver as a small smile bloomed on her lips, “He’s here.” Silver said before getting down with her. “Nope. I’m taking pictures of my beautiful daughter before she steps out of this

    Days passed, and neither Elena nor Craig were talking to each other. And Silver became her Uber driver, carrying her to school and returning her home every day. She missed her chances with Xavier because there was no way she would let Elena be. “This is the last time. If you call me again, I’m not going to carry you. You’ll start taking your Ubers or take any other thing.” “Or I can follow you and Xavier to school.” “That’s not an option,” Silver replied, killing the engine of the car as they both got down. Rumors were now flooding the school forum much more than anything. Neither Gaby nor Bianca has not returned to school, and the escorts of Bianca’s parents have also filed a report for their children being bullied. As much as that was a serious issue and needed to be curbed, the students had no interest in that. Most of them talked about how Elena and Craig seemed to avoid each other while Matthew and Sarah followed each other like

    “Mum!!!” Elena yelled out for the umpteenth time. “I’ve told you it’s nothing huge; it’s a movie date, not an evening date, so I don’t need all this.” She said, stomping her foot to the ground and dashing out of the room. “Then put..” “I don’t want!” She cut her off. The day for the movie date between Elena and Craig was already here, and a few minutes from now, he would be outside her door, wanting her to get inside the car. Elena’s mom, Clara, was begging her to put on some makeup and wear something more fashionable than the baggy trousers and sweatshirt on her. “Elena, even if it’s a movie date, you’re still supposed to dress….” Elena stopped in her tracks, closing her eyes and clenching her jaw before turning to face her mother, “Mom, I’m dressed the way I want, and I’m so comfortable in this. I don’t see why I should dress any other way when I’ll just watch a two or three hours movie, take some ice cream, maybe or mayb

    Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make.

    Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she

    “It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu

    Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do

    Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him

    Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that?

    Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
