"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! " she said angrily and left. A female student rushes in to help her get up on her feet. "I am so sorry about what just happened. That's how she behaves "she said as she help sapphire sky get up on her feet. "My name is Courtney and yours," she said with a smile. "AmJeannee Marie " she stretched her hand for a handshake which they did. They started walking together with a slight conversation. Courtney showed her the science department. It was unlucky for the sapphire sky because Courtney is in the art department. She thought she have found a friend and a seatmate. "I wished we were in the same department. I thought I had found a friend in you " she bow her head in a sad mood. "Oh! I can't be your friend "she wiggled her eyebrows. "C'mon don't get it twisted I didn't mean it that way. I want us to be so close like be in the same department and all that " she said with a smile. "Don't get yourself worked up over it. We can get to see each other very often when we are less busy " she snapped playfully on her shoulder. "That's true," she said and hugged her. Sapphire sky waved her goodbye before walking to her class. She takes in a deep breath before walking inside her class with her head bowed down. She doesn't want to have eye contact with anyone in the class. She sat down on an empty seat and adjust her glasses before bringing out her books. "We met again! " a male voice said and the sapphire sky was so shocked because she wasn't expecting it. She turned her face to look at the same time to see the guy who act rudely to her earlier today. "I never knew you are going to be in this class," he said with a cute smile and she nodded her head. "Have you suddenly gone dumb or something? I expected you to say something not to reply to me with a nod "he made a firm and precise movement but she didn't say a word. "If you choose to ignore me, I am not bothered. My name is Quincey Lee because you asked for that some couple of minutes ago "he said rubbing his hands together. "Why are you telling me all this? I asked for that couple of minutes ago as you said earlier so I don't need it anymore because you choose to keep it to yourself "she squirted her eyes and continue to read her books. "Why are you behaving as if we had an issue before? You can't be my seat me and my enemy " he slammed his fist on the table. "Save your strength. You should have told me earlier that you don't want me to sit with you, I would have left politely. You know what I have to be in the library because that is the only place I can have my peace. Excuse me! "She said and walked out of the class. Quincey Lee was so shocked because no girl had ever treated him that way. Every girl in the school always wished to talk to him even for a minute but she is different. "Why thy hell just happened? "He stutters to himself. Henrietta was just watching the whole drama that was going on between sapphire sky and Quincey Lee. She was so angry that Quicney Lee is talking to another lady when he knew she will be hurt. Immediately after the sapphire sky left, Henrietta walked up to him with a cute smile. "Babe! "She said with a cute smile butQuinceyy Lee was lost in thought over what happened. "Quicney, I am talking to you. Don't you notice my presence" she smirked. "What are you doing here? I can't recall inviting you over for a talk. Why can't you just mind your business "he said angrily. "Quincey Lee, I am your girlfriend. I have every right whatsoever to talk to you anytime I wished to and stop screaming" she yelled at him and burst out into loud laughter. "Wait a minute, are you addressing yourself as my girlfriend? I can't remember asking you to be one "he said angrily and Henrietta was shocked because she wasn't expecting that from him. "Save me all those cracking jokes because it is not funny at all. You and I know that we are dating. We had sex very often so that makes us lovers get that into your head " she tossed her long hair. "Sex? We had sex together doesn't makes you, my girlfriend. You are such a spoilt brat "he adjusted the lapels of his jacket and she gashed. "I am not surprised at all but when you were getting into my pant, you didn't know I am a spoilt brat. You are acting this way because of the new girl right " she furrowed her eyebrows andQuinceyy Lee stared at her. "You can't even deny it because I saw everything. What did you see in that wretched fool that you can't find in me? I don't get it, what do you want because I can't figure it out myself" she placed her hand on his shoulders and he removed her hand at once"Why are you this desperate? What has my attitude towards you got to do with the new girl" he said. "It is. As I said earlier, I saw everything. She didn't give you a listened ear that's why you are really angry" she pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't have time for all this" he stood up and walked up to her ear. "Babe, I can't wait to have you in my bed and throw you the way I use to do that's why I am called the playboy. I toy with your body and dump you "he whispers in her ears and walked out of the class. She stepped backward because she felt embarrassed and all students present in class eyes were fixed on her. "You are going to pay for doing this to me" she muttered to herself. It is closing hour, all students rush to where their various cars are packaged except sapphire sky who is impatiently waiting for a cab that is forthcoming. "Where are the cab drivers? " she stared at her wristwatch from time to time because she is getting late and she don't want to keep her aunt waiting. As she was waiting for a cab, a brand new Bugatti car stopped at her front...........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
She met her walking out of the library with her books in her hands and placed them on her chest but the moment she saw Henrietta everything changed. She tried to hide behind her books. "I knew perfectly well where to find you, whore! How dare you try to take what belongs to me? I had tried so hard to make him my fiance and I wouldn't watch you ruin everything I had worked hard for" She pointed her finger toward her. Before Sapphire could say a word, Henrietta gave a sounding slap which made her fall to the ground. Henrietta tore all the books that were with her. She started beating her mercilessly. Sapphire cried out for help. The whole students around run to the scene to see what was going on but no one dares to intervene in the issue because Henrietta is involved. Henrietta is a no nonane person and no one dares not to intervene in any issue that has to do with her. Every student present felt pity for Sapphire but they can't do anything to help her. When she was about to tear her d
It is the closing hour, and Quicney dropped her off as usual. He insisted go drop her off at her place but she refused. She walked down to her house because she didn't show him her street not to talk of her house. She walk in slowly and sat down on a sofa. Her aunt isn't happy with the way she saw her mood. H"You are back. Sapphire, how was school today? " she asked as she walked in. She didn't say a word. "What is it? It has been a long while since I had seen you like this" She crossed her hand around her. "I had been having some issues in school for a while now" She bow her head. "Issue? Are they after your life? Do you fight with someone? I think you should drop out of that school before it is too late to do so. I want you to be safe" She curls into a fetal position. "Drop out from school? You know that will never happen. Going to school is the only freedom I had left. I can't be indoors again. Never! " she folds her hands. "Can't you see that the school is giving some hard t
After the meal, they both walked to the class together. Henrietta witness every single thing that happens between Quicney and Sapphire. She was heartbroken and breaks down in tears. She wipe it off with her palm and walked away. She didn't walk a little bit far when she saw Quincey alone. "Where is she? They were together a couple of minutes ago. This is the right time to talk to Quincey" she muttered. She walked up to him slowly without any sound of her footsteps. She hugged him from behind and he was so shocked because he wasn't expecting it. He redraws himself from the hug because he knew it was Henrietta. "Who were you expecting to embrace you? Jeaune right? "She stares at him but he didn't say a word."I knew it. Quincey, why are you this dumb? We were happy together and suddenly you dumped me over that wretched bitch. I love you so much" She moves closer to him. He stares at her without pushing her away. "We were perfect together and you promised to be with me" She grabbed h
