A lady dressed in a white gown, black heels, and hair neatly dressed. She stepped in majestically. She was the center of attraction. Her cute smile makes her extremely beautiful. She takes a step towards Sapphire. “Courtney!” Sapphire said amid tears. She embraced her and couldn't let go. “I can't breathe” Courtney smiled. She let go. “Wipe your tears” Courtney wiped the tears on Sapphire's face with her fingers. “You are indeed a true friend. I am super proud of you. You know what you want even when you know your life depends on it and you got it. You have shown the world how strong and brave you are. I wronged you but you have shown me love. I heard all you said to me. I won’t seek any better friend but you. You are a queen, my friend. I love you so much” she smiles. She embraces her warmly. “Sapphire” A female voice called behind her. “Aunt Cecilia!” She let go of the embrace. “You made it” She covers her hand with her eyes. Tears roll down her cheeks. “My angel, don't cry.
Sapphire sky has been indoors after the death of her parents who were killed by unknown men. She had been indoors since then for her safety order by her aunty who took her in after the death of her parents. "Oh, my God! I had made it" she screamed while running down the staircase. "What is that my angel," her aunty asked her. "I got an email from Henry M Guru high school" she crinkle her eyes and nose. "What did they talk about? " her aunt asked facing her. "Aunt, I got the scholarship " she screamed and hugged her aunt. "Wow! Finally, I can have some breathing space in my house" her aunt smiled. "But I had never bothered you before" she wiggle her eyebrows and wrapped her hand around her aunt's neck. "Sapphire, I am not too happy over this scholarship " she curls into a fetal position. "Why, aunt? You shouldn't be saying this to me. I thought you said you want me to be happy so why all this" sapphire sky bows her head. "Sapphire, I want the best for you but it's just that I
"Are you crazy? How dare you bumped in on me? "She heard an angry female voice. "Oh! I am so sorry. My eyes were stocked on this paper that's why I didn't notice your presence "she apologized at once. "Keep your apologizing to yourself " Henrietta stared at her. "Oh! I knew it. A scholarship student! That's how you guys behave. Wretched fool! Simply because you were allowed to attend the same school as the rich. They will behave as if they own the school " she eyed her. "It was a mistake and I apologized at once that doesn't give you the right to insult me. Not everybody who got into this school through scholarship is as wretched as you think "she said and tried to walk out on her but Henrietta stopped her and gave her a slap which made her fall to the ground. "How dare you try to walk out on me when I am not done talking to you? If you know who I am you won't dare do what you just did. Fool! When next you try what you just did, you have yourself to blame. Get out of my way! " sh
She was scared at once because she thought it was her father's enemy. Quincey Lee rolls down the glass on his car. "Hi! "Quincey Lee said with a smile but the sapphire sky didn't return it. "C'mon, girl. Are you still angry over what happened earlier today? It is just a minor quarrel. Why are you taking it this far? " he smacked his lips. "Well, I am not angry. I have enough money to board a cab so I don't need your help at all. Give it to another person who deserves it" she looked away. "You are the one I am interested in" he made a firm and precise movement. Sapphire sky was so shocked and surprised at the same time by the words. "Are you surprised? C'mon don't get it twisted. That's not what I meant. I just need to give a ride home nothing more. Please! " he pleased. Sapphire sky stares at him for some minutes before she enters the car. "Thank you, my lady" he smiled but she didn't say a word. "I am so sorry for the way I treated you earlier. I wasn't in the right mood when
"Dad, this must be the family picture of your best friend who stole your money. Haven't you seen her yet?" She kept the picture on the table. "Not yet, my angel," he said having a cigarette perpetually dangling out of his mouth. "This face in this picture looks familiar to me. What's her name again? " she asked staring at the picture again on the glass table. "Her name is the sapphire sky. Have you heard of that name anywhere? "he asked and bought out a cloud of smoke from his mouth. "No, not at all"the word escaped from her mouth. "But dad, if I get any necessary information concerning this same issue, I will get you informed. We are in this together"she peck her dad on his cheek and went inside her room. When she got to her room, she sat down on her bed. The picture she saw earlier kept appearing in her brain. "What if she is the new girl in my school and she just changes her name for people do not know her? Well, I am going to find out anyways" I muttered to myself. She grabb
Courtney stood still for some minutes before sitting down. "Quincey Lee, I am so sorry. She is not in a good mood" she explained to him. "She is. You don't have to lie to yourself. Jeanne Marie had been avoiding me lately simply because of what happened between us. I acted rude to her that's what makes her mad at me. I need to get going" He rubs his hands together and walks away. "Oh! Shit. Why will she do anything like that to him? I have the opportunity to talk to him for the first time" she smile seducing before leaving to look for her friend. She met her in the library searching for a book on the shelf. "I knew I will find you here. Why did you have to leave just like that? It is disrespectful of you to walk out on us like that. You should have repeated Quincey Lee " she exasperated. "Are you here to scold me over what I did earlier? You are not in the right position to tell me who to give my respect to or who I shouldn't give it to. Quincey Lee might be an extremely rich, hand
Different comments were flying in the air from the student present. Everybody knows Quicney to be a playboy. Why is he so soft when he met Sapphire which everyone doesn't know? Quincey stood up as well as Sapphire with a book in his hands. "Here you go" He smile and stretched his hand towards her with a book in it. ,"Thank you. I am so sorry for bumping into you like that. I was in a hurry to miss Mr. Bonks's class" she giggled. "Oh! He is not coming. I didn't find you in class so I decided to come out and look for you. Where have you been? " he stuck his hands on his trousers. "Oh! That's bad. I enjoy his lecture. I think I had to go back to the library. Thanks a, lot" She was about to leave when Quincey held her hand. "Please wait. I had something really important to talk to you about" He giggled and she was surprised. "What could that be? We can talk about that later because I have a class to attend" She increased the pitch in her voice. She tried to walk away but Quincey he
Courtney waved her hand in front of Sapphire's face. It seems she is deep in thought. She shakes Sapphire's body which bought her back to reality. "What's wrong? I had been here screaming your name for like an hour now. Have you been crying" Courtney used her fingers to toss Sapphire's hair and Sapphire looked away? Sapphire used her palm to wipe off the tears on her cheek. "I am fine. Something gets into my eyes. I am not crying" She smiles with her reddish eyes. "You are lying to me. Did Henrietta say something bad to you? You were not like this when you left the library. You don't have to get hurt by her words. You should be used to her by now" She wrapped her hand around Sapphire's neck. "I don't know what makes you cry but just know that I love you and I will do anything that will make you happy. I hate to see you cry. You are like a sister I never had" She peck Sapphire's cheek and hugged her. "Thank you so much. I don't know how I would have coped without you. Have you eve
