I tried concentrating during the classes and it did work a little. As soon as class ended, Henry stood up immediately walking out of the class. What? I was determined to ask him questions, I stood up immediately and my phone beeped.

"Lawn" I read the text and I realized he probably wanted to talk to me too.

As I made to leave, I heard my name.

"Camila" the person called and I turned to see Ava and Anna. Huh? They want to talk to me?

"Hi" I said with a small smile.

"How have you been?" Ava asked staring intently at me. "I see your relationship with Henry got stronger. Right?" She asked with a small smile.

I scoffed shutting my eyes, "are you here to talk about that?" I asked them.

"No, we're just here to make a deal" Anna answered.

"What deal?" I asked, almost rolling my eyes.

"Let's talk about it outside" Ava said leading the way. As we walked out of the classroom, my phone beeped again, "How many years will you take?" The message read. Goodness, Henry, he must be waiting.

    HENRY I walked gracefully into the house the detective lives. Talking to him on the phone isn't enough, I need to see what he's doing on getting the attackers. I need to know if he's working on it now."Henryyy" he called as I entered and I released a small smile."Were you able to track the guy?" I asked him."Sit first Henry" he said laughing. He got me a drink and I took a sip."So, tell me" I said looking at him."Well we couldn't Henry, the person doesn't exist" he said. I shut my eyes before exhaling."All IDs have been traced?" I asked and he nodded."Okay, keep working on it" I said and he nodded."Henry" he called as I stood up. "Be watchful, this might be a game of politics, you shouldn't be involved" he said and I chuckled."Alright Mr Franklin" I said before heeding to the door. The car was waiting already so I got in immediately."Fanscho" I called as I entered the back seat, he turned to me immediately."I want to host an event" I said. He smiled gently before nodding.

    As soon as class ended, I finished the work the teacher was solving. Looking up, I saw Henry passing beside me, followed be the third guy with them, then Jack. Are they going for lunch? Henry barely went to the cafeteria all these days. I looked up and I saw Jack in front of me. He dropped a paper on my desk before walking away. What? He walked away and I tore the paper open."I just wanted you to know you're pretty" I read. I fling away the paper immediately before bringing out my sketchpad. I'd find something to draw from the internet. Halfway drawing, my stomach kept rumbling and I needed no one to tell me I'm hungry. I packed my books into my bag before standing up."Cafeteria?" the voice asked making me flinch. I calmed down on seeing it's Clinton."Hmm" I mumbled walking out and he followed me."I was heeding there too" he said as we walked."So, how're you coping with the activities" he asked and I smiled."It isn't bad" I replied him and he nodded."You see, I actually enjoy

    As we got in, he took a seat on the chair before exhaling. "What were you saying?" He asked."I .. I'm sorry for" I paused seeing him stare intently at me. "Wh... what?" I asked him."When talking to me, it's either you bow as a sign of respect or you sit as I sign of equality" he stated. I processed his words before bowing, at least this is better."What now Camila?" He stressed shutting his eyes. "That's an indirect way of me telling you to sit" he said and I looked up. I glanced around searching for a seat but they've been occupied by the students around. Having no other option, I sat beside him slowly."Go on" he urged and I nodded gently."I want to apologize.. I mean I was on my way here yesterday but.. I didn't meet you" I told him."You took way too long" he muttered turning to me and I nodded."Were you talking to your boyfriend?" He asked and my eyes widened."No, of course not, I don't have one" I told him. He only chuckled, his gaze not leaving me."You lifted the ban on C

    CAMILAI exhaled falling to the chair. I had a pretty long time getting a taxi, I guess I'd be using Ubers soon but where do I get money huh? I bet I'd have to start searching for a job soon then I can convince dad I got the tools myself. Yes! Probably gonna put in for some jobs. I walked to my room bringing out the file, I still have to visit the office and know who the fuck is behind my scholarship. I fell to the bed shutting my eyes, I'm sure I need a rest but that'd be later, when I finally settle down in the school. I brought out my phone logging into the group, a lot of messages were waiting for me already. Some were busy talking about Henry, how he's their crush, and how much they hate Chloe."Did you see Chloe stopped bullying?" I saw a text and I squinted my eyes reading carefully."Yeah ever since the new girl arrived, guess the girl is her target" someone replied. "I hate the girl" someone texted."Why? She's pretty" another student replied. I clicked on the group informati

    CHLOE"So?" I asked, staring at Samantha, she woke up a long while ago and it turned out she had more drinks than I had and she dozed off. She didn't have any guy I bet, she only had drinks and gave guys dances not sex. I looked up when she didn't say anything and I saw her mouth wide open."Did you know?" She asked, sitting beside me."Know what?" I asked her."Braden is back to school" she dropped the bombshell and my eyes widened. What? He still had the effrontery to come back?"No," I mumbled."What? Aren't you in the group?" She asked before remembering I ain't in it. Well, I was, the students do talk about me and I made sure to make all of them serve their punishments. The teacher saw I got information from the group so she had me removed. How pathetic of her, I just didn't want to lay a complaint against her tiny little ass."It's good he's back, this time I'd make sure to plan something he's gonna regret" I said firmly."Something he's gonna regret again?" Cassy asked, walking

    As soon as it was time for lunch, I rushed out of the class with my backpack. I heard Clinton call after me and Ava I guess but I didn't turn back, I kept walking. I was determined not to be close to Jack, I know he'd probably ask me for lunch and I ain't interested in that shit. The next time he tries touching me, I'd show him what I'm made of. I kept walking without a particular destination before I paused breathing heavily. I shut my eyes sitting on an empty seat thinking of what to do when an idea came up to my mind. I should visit the office that gave me my admission letter and probably, I'd meet my benefactor. I took a ride to the part of the office immediately. As soon as I got down, I paid the taxi before glancing around. The building didn't look familiar but I kept searching around. I came here, didn't I? I shut my eyes trying to remember what the building looked like to no avail. I looked up when a writing got my attention, "Grade's admission issues". Really? I saw it the ot

    CAMILAI sniffed looking up before shaking my head pulling away from him. "I'm.. I'm fine" I mumbled looking down, why on earth am I crying? He only stared at me as I sniffed."What happened? Did anyone bully you?" He asked but I shook my head instantly. On my way to the class, I was completely lost in thoughts and I hit my head on the wall. Well, the pain isn't severe but I just felt weak after."Did your forehead grow bigger?" He asked and I looked up."Huh?" He stared at my head before taking his hand to my head massaging it and I winced. "Noise huh?" The Librarian asked walking to us but moved away after seeing Henry. Henry mumbled a sorry after him."You hit your head, huh?" He asked and I nodded. "Sorry" he mumbled, still massaging my head. He paused before reaching out to his backpack bringing out an emollient and gently applied it on my head, "since there's no ice, you should use this, it'll soothe the pain" he told me and I smiled gently.He exhaled, resting on the seat, "We

    CAMILAWe walked for a while before he saw a statue."You know what that is?" He asked, staring at the huge statue painted in white."The first person to die in the school attack, he saved plenty of people" he said and I nodded gently. It isn't a student, guess a teacher or some random person."A parent, it was on visiting day in the business suite" he chuckled, staring at the statue. "May he rest in peace" he said looking away."Don't you know who the people are?" I asked, staring at him. I mean they're the one in power, they should be able to do all things right?"No, they're smart but hopefully soon" he said and I nodded gently. So, if he didn't save me, I could have died huh?"No, you saved me" he said and I realized I mumbled that. "They came for me," he mumbled. "And I owe you that" he chortled, turning me to him. "I owe you that," he said again. What? I didn't even do anything, did I? I just ran towards a guard that was shot not caring about myself. I wonder why I did that, it

    Anna glanced around in class as she watched the news.So Camila is the Governor's daughter. Wow. She exhaled as she continued watching.So, what will happen to Camila's and Henry's relationship huh? And Chloe, she wondered how she'd feel.She was so engrossed in the state's activities that she didn't know when the person approached her."Hey" the voice jerked her back to reality and she smiled on seeing Clinton.The smile left her face when she saw him stare intently at her."What?" She mumbled under her breath. His look was kind of holding compassion but she better not think far."Camila isn't in school?" He glanced around and she nodded to his question. Does he still want Camila?"Won't she come for exams?" She heard him say under his breath and she almost scoffed."Do you still like her?" She found herself asking. The question made Clinton pause because yes, he still wanted her."No" he lied but it felt like he was telling the truth.Anna gave a discreet smile before turning to him

    Braden stared at Chloe as she slept. They had a good time and he enjoyed every bit of it. He came here to make love to her because when he heard she still wanted Henry, he wanted to go mad. He couldn't believe it but thank goodness, he thought of everything.Chloe was just someone who lacked love and Samantha only influenced her. So, he came with the intention to make things clear. He loves her and she needs to know.She moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner.…When Chloe woke up, he was still admiring her. Chloe sat up with a blush as her boobs dangled down.Braden pulled her to him before he exhaled, "I love you."His voice was in a whisper yet it meant so much to Chloe. She pulled away from the hug, her shock evident on her face.He said he loves her? She blinked rapidly as she processed it."You…you" she wanted to say but he stopped her with a kiss."Yes, I love you" he declared once more, a happy smile on his lips."Oh my gosh, oh my gosh"

    CAMILAI sobbed as I curled up on the bed. I tried hugging my tiny self as I reminisced on everything.If Henry is angry then, maybe, he might just end things with me.He…he will tell me to fuck off. A tear ran down my face as I thought of it. No, I can't think of losing Henry.The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I dashed to the door immediately.My face sank when I saw it wasn't Henry but my face lit up seeing it's Fanscho."Fanscho…" I subconsciously pulled him into a hug.Damn, I haven't seen him for a long time.He chortled as he patted my back which got me smiling."You're really okay, thank goodness."I pulled away instantly and he laughed, "come with, Henry sent for you.""Henry?" I batted my eyelashes as happiness surged through me, "where's he?""Come with me, I'll take you."…My heartbeat quickened as we took every step towards the garden where Henry was. Fanscho was leading the way and I tentatively walked behind him.Will Henry break up with me? No, why'd he

    CAMILAMy heart thumped loudly inside of me and I glanced at Henry but he only stared unfazed. Isn't he scared or bothered?Well, just now dad said he has to talk to the two of us and…I'm scared.I'm scared he's going to end everything between us. No, I don't want that. I don't want to lose Henry."Stop being a scared pussycat" Henry gave a lopsided smile and I didn't know how but…it made me smile. I know he meant something else. He's being naughty while I'm scared huh? Well of course, he became naughty when he came back.You had to see how many times he had me yesterday."Shut up!" I whispered jokingly but paused when the footsteps approached.Dad is coming."Heyy" he sat down and my heart sank at his sight. I hate having to see his arm this way.I held back my tears as I waited for what he had to say."Camila…" he called with an exhale and Henry scoffed."You know you're my blood now and that's affecting your relationship with Henry."A lone tear ran down my face as he said what I e

    HENRYAnger boiled in me as I stared at them. Why did they even leave me in the hospital? I came here with Mia and just at the doorstep, I heard him talk lovingly to Camila. He loves her that much?Of course, she's his lost daughter. But he has never directed such attention to me. Even while Camila was away, he took Chloe as his daughter and he only treated me less than a son."Answer me!" I ordered and I saw Camila flinch. Her lips trembled and I knew she was scared.No, I wasn't her for that, I shouldn't make her scared ."Why did you leave?" I sauntered towards her and she swallowed trying to maintain eye contact with me."She had…" dad tried speaking but I stopped him."I need you to excuse us" I ordered, anger building in me. He only nodded and he ruffled Camila's hair before walking out.Wow! How much he loves her. Now, I'm forced to think he's not my dad."Why did you leave?" I held Camila's jaw as I stared softly at her."I…I…I…please…just go Henry" she stuttered and I exhaled

    HENRYI woke up with a flicker of pain. My head hurt and my arm hurt. I tried opening my eyes but my lids felt too heavy.I tried rolling on the bed but the pain in my chest made me stay still. I groaned when the pain increased and the events came rushing to my memory.I was shot…I was with Camila . Camila was telling me to hold on but I couldn't. She told me she loved me, she told me to stay alive but my hands slipped off her face.Am I dead? Is that why I can't open my lids?I opened my mouth to speak, maybe someone could tell me where I was, "anyone there?""Henry?" I heard the voice. A familiar voice.I heard footsteps which meant the person was coming towards me. And…that's when my lids opened.I squinted my eyes as the rays hit my eyes and I saw Mia.Mia? I thought it's Camila. I glanced around as I searched for Camila but I only saw Chloe. Where's my love? Charles didn't take her, did he?Mia reached me and immediately, she took my hand, sobbing lightly."You're okay now.""Whe

    CHLOEI grinned as they all stared at me as the only hope they had. I saw the Governor, no ex-Governor glared at me but I didn't care.When Camila left, I thought about it.She said a few words and her explanation seemed quite true but I didn't believe her. But when she talked to dad, I saw the affection he had for her. Even when they wanted to kidnap him, they took her first so it could be true.And then Henry is in the hospital, he needs my own kind of blood. So, I had to use the opportunity to my advantage. I've always wanted Henry or Braden but this morning, Braden didn't care so I could just have Henry.I know we aren't siblings but only dad and I know that. So…I have to keep it away from Camila to get what I want.I don't care if he's my cousin or not."Tell us, what do you want?" Camila asked desperately."Only one thing, before he wakes up, you get out of his life. I want Henry so you have to step back.""Chloe! This isn't the …" Mia tried saying but I raised my hands and she

    CHLOEI got out and I saw her eyes widened."Camila?" Mia ran out and I ran after her."Mia!" We reached her and Mia retreated in her steps when she saw the person."Henry? Henry?" She bent down and I saw tears roll down her eyes. A tear rolled down when I saw him. Henry. He's covered in a pool of blood.How did this happen? I looked over at Camila and saw…her face was plastered and filled with bruises.Did Uncle Charles torture them this much?"Henry?' Mia kept shaking him but his lids didn't even open."How…how did this happen?" Mia stuttered before she stood up. She grabbed Camila angrily. "How did this happen?"She wanted to speak but all that came out was a gasp. She was choking on her tears."Henry?" I took his hands and saw they were pale already.I saw Camila stare intently at me as tears rolled down her face."Where's the Governor?" Mia asked and Camila paused."Dad…dad…he's inside" she rushed towards the left and I ran after her. Wait, why did she call him dad? We got in an

    CHLOE"Chloe!" I heard the voice barge in and I turned to the person immediately."Mia?" I called as my lips quivered."Where…where's Henry? Where's Camila? Where is the Governor? Are…is the news true?" She rushed her words and I scoffed."I don't know…Mia, I don't" I shut my eyes as a tear rolled down. Is it true? Why'd he confess to it? I didn't even know it was…it was uncle Charles.Damn. He finally caught the Governor. A secret we've tried to bury. Yes, we, I knew about it years back and that's why I struck a deal with the Governor. For his secret to remain with me, he has to treat me like his own. Not like I'd rat him out or anything.And he did…"Where…where are the guards?" Mia asked and I looked up."They…they all left.""Goodness " she shut her eyes, pacing around. "Where…where are they? We have to go save them" she mumbled and my eyes widened. What?"What…what, we have no guards.""Where are they?" She yelled and I flinched."Here, the guards tracked their location before t
