Miss Popular ( She’s Everyone choice)

You don’t even create time to speak to me, so tell me what’s your reply” She said.

And I stare at her without knowing what to say next.

“Are you short of words, or you don’t know how to tell me?” Juliet said and put her hand under her jaw.

I took a deep breath. “Well, maybe because I don’t know how you will feel If I open up to you, but let forget about it and concentrate on your schoolwork,” I said.

“Maybe because you don’t love me or am not the girl of your type, “Juliet said.

Romeo looks at her and smiles.

“Indeed, I don’t love you, but don’t talk about type. We don’t know who we are going to end up with, so talking about type is not a part of it, I like you as a friend I don’t love you” I said and chuckled.

“It’s good you tell me, I will know how to concentrate on my boyfriend, who hasn’t been giving me the time I needed,” Juliet said with a pout.

“So you have a boyfriend, I don’t get?”I asked looking at her.

“Yes I do have a boyfriend and I was planning on leaving him if you accept me to be your girlfriend, but it’s cool am not angry about being rejected, I do have a way out, “Juliet said.

“Wait is this a dream, or is this a film shoot, you mean you wanna jilt your boyfriend for me, how could you ever think about doing such a thing.

Like seriously am surprised. You plan to leave your guy for me” I said not able to digest what she said.

“Don’t be too surprised, any girl could want to jilt their guy for another if he’s not showing them affection, we girls do need attention and affection.

But my boyfriend is just an adverse of all these things, he didn’t care about me.

I have cried in the past but now, I have decided not to waste my precious time on a guy who didn’t deserve me, he’s too busy for me.

Most time I do call him, he will always tell me he is busy, but am very sure he’s asking another girl to create time for him,

so why won’t I want to jilt him for a better guy?

I couldn’t even tell my dad about dating him. My dad once asked me if I heard a boyfriend, but I denied it.

You see my dad is a very good man. Ever since I have lost my mom, he is the only family I have.

He would say, my Juliet my baby, you are now twenty, won’t you show me your boyfriend, or did you want to reach the age of menopause before bringing a guy home.

And I will reply to him by saying, dad, I don’t have a guy yet, all those guys are nothing but scams, I don’t trust any, I just want to find a good guy like you.

I couldn’t tell my dad about him, because am very sure he doesn’t like me, so if I jilt him is not a big deal”Juliet said with a pout.

I stares at her and shook my head. “Why staring, you aren’t saying anything,?” Juliet asked

“I am trying to catch my breath. But truly you are a badass, why do you think he is cheating on you, he might be busy you can’t judge him” I said and she laughed.

“Isn’t it obvious, is obvious that he is cheating, we have been together since I was eighteen, two years relationship and he never had my time, if am your sister would you have advised me to continue enduring with that type of guy?

Since he’s always busy, that means am not important, am just a second option who he can just come to anytime he is bored or maybe when his mistress isn’t around, no I can take that from any guy” She said.

“So, what are you planning of doing with him now?”I asked.

“Yunno, I said I will focus on him a minute ago, but right now I have changed my mind.

I decide to break up with him. Am not interested again, I can’t continue being a second option, I will call and tell him now” Juliet said and picked up her phone.

“No don’t do that, what if you’ve misunderstood him, why don’t you call him personally and discuss things with him, you know we can’t judge him.

Look at me, for example, I am working here after school, I hardly spent time with my friends.

Tell me if I have a girlfriend and I didn’t call her, she might start thinking otherwise.

I understand that he should have created a chance out of no time, not all guys are cheating yunno,

we are different from each other and the way we take things are different ” I said.

“I pray he will create that time just to see me, because I trust don’t him,” Juliet said with a pout.

“Call him now let’s see, “I said and she take her phone to the table.

She dials his number.

“Is ringing, wait and see, am very sure he will say, baby please am very busy right now, I will call you back when am done? “She said and I smile shaking my head.

She placed the call on the loudspeaker.

He picked up. “Babe please am very busy right now, I will call you back later when am done, sorry bye, “He said from the other end and hang the call.

“Do you now to see for yourself, the only thing missing In what I told you was that, he said very busy and sorry bye, those are the things I didn’t mention? “Juliet said.

I couldn’t help but laugh. “What happened why are you laughing?” She asked.

“Nothing is okay, I guess you are kinda funny,” I said trying to control myself.

She looks angry while I was laughing.

Pamela POV

“Pamela, how is Romeo doing in school?” Mum asked.

“I can’t say, why do you ask mum, when did you start asking after him “I said concentrating on the movie I was watching.

“I need to know how he was surviving after the separation from his family, is all my fault,” Mrs. Lane said and wipe her tears.

“Mum I don’t understand all that you are saying. Can you please explain to me, what you mean by separation” I said and sit upright.

“Yes, he. was disowned that very day Tiana find out about his withdraw from school.

She said his father was very angry for not informing them, he didn’t even think twice before disowning him, and Tania just watched and let him do that.

she even said Romeo refuse to take anything with him. Not even his phone, I am the cause of everything, I make that innocent boy suffer, how is he going to cope without his family.

I need to bring the family back very soon, I make sure of that “My mum said.

“Mum, so, you mean Romeo was disowned, but he never said this to anyone, so this is the reason he was working at the restaurant as a waiter. But he never talked about it” I said holding my head.

“So Romeo didn’t lose his phone, he dropped it, yes I was wondering why didn’t he ride his sportbike again, so all this is happening to my idol, and he didn’t tell me bout this”Vicky said.

“I will try my possible best to see that I bring the family back, “Mrs. Lane said.

“Mum that will be hard, Romeo is very stubborn. I know him very well, we have to unite the family back, but I will be the one to do that” I said.

“I don’t think you can do that, you and Romeo are just like cat and rat, the both of you fight a lot, so, I don’t trust you in this”Vicky said with a pout.

Her phone beeped it was Kiles.

“What’s his problem” I muttered and picked it up to my phone. ”

Hi Pamela, I want to tell you something very important, which I think if I didn’t tell you soon, then I won’t be able to forgive. Myself”Kiles said from the other end.

“Okay am listening, what do you have to say”I replied.
