Miss Popular ( She’s Everyone choice)

She didn’t utter a word and was crying.

“What happened, Please stop scaring me now,” Romeo said.

“James” Angela cried.

Romeo POV

“Stop scaring me, Please just tell me what’s happening,” I asked with my heart echoing.

She suddenly burst into a big laugh I could imagine. I think this must be one of her pranks.

How dare she play such a prank on me.

“Romeo, I know you must be really scared, sorry for that. That tears were tears of joy.

Thank God I have a friend like you. Can you believe James is negative to that sickness” She said with a smile I could imagine?

“What! How was that possible. You told me yourself” I said with shock on my face.

“Yes, that’s what we thought. Well, the doctor did the severe test, but couldn’t see this.

Yes, they wanted to confirm and give him the approval to be flown out. But they did this test thrice and it was negative all through.

They call the hospital and the doctor said he had the sickness. Then the doctor told us that something is fishy, and ordered the police to arrest him.

He later confessed that it was James’ dad who told him to do that” She said and chuckled.

“Damn! That’s bad, how could a father do that” I said finding it hard to believe what’s she was saying.

“He did that because he want James to come back to him. James is the only son his mum gave him.

After they got separated he decided to follow his mum. So his dad wanted to get James back because he is the only son he has.

So he told the doctor to lie about that horrible thing when he found out James was sick, he decided to used the opportunity to frame them thinking his mum would run to him begging for money.

Then he will tell her to give the custody of James to him”Angela explained.

“Oh my goodness! Just can’t believe this whole thing. I must say he’s not a good father. Is very desperate.

A lot also happened here. I know we aren’t able to speak for all these days, Many things happen Kiles is such an evil guy. You can’t imagine.”I explained everything disappointed In myself for what I did to Pamela.

“What! I never got time to watch the school news. I will make sure I so much deal with him when I get back to school.

How dare him. Did he know what it takes to bring you and Pamela together, I will tell her to return the slap to me, and forgive you that’s just it”She says with much certainty in her voice?

“WOW! Now you can speak fluently. Do you remember the day you are crying like a baby with a faint voice? I was like, was this, my troublesome lady.

Thank goodness you come back to life” I teased her smiling.

“You are blushing. Can I know this Angela of a person? Or is that your concubine”Cindy said and tried to snatch the phone from me.

“Pamela why are you still angry at Romeo. Can’t you see he’s very sorry? I know he did the wrong thing, but do forgive him” Joyce said trying to convince Pamela who was carrying a straight face.

“She’s really angry, not even a smile, “Annie said with a pout.

“What do you think? That slap hurt. I haven’t been slapped before. I don’t even know slap could be so painful. Like I was seeing stars that very moment. Oh God,” She said touching her cheek.

Annie and Joyce couldn’t control themselves and burst out laughing. “Why are you both laughing at me. After that slap so you guys wanna add to my problem” Pamela said with a frown.

“No we aren’t laughing we were just imagining how that slap is for you to be seeing stars.

I guess that’s what is called karma or should I say what goes around comes around” Joyce said, trying to control herself but she exploded into another round of laughter, which got Pamela angrier.

“Yes exactly, she always slapped everyone, I remembered you slapping Romeo on his first day here.

Is cheek was so reddish that It was painful that a handsome guy like him could be that hurt. My heartbeat that day just that I can’t slap you back” Annie said and quickly turn her face away.

“Do you mean Romeo did this to get his revenge on me? Moreover, I only slapped those who cross their limit that’s all.

Common you guys should please let bygone be bygone”Pamela said with open eyes and mouth.

“Wow bygone be bygone, so why don’t you forgive your boyfriend then. Both of you need to forgive each other’s” Joyce said.

“Please, please let’s leave this aside,” Pamela said trying to make them stop talking about Romeo.

“Well is your choice. Well before I forget I am going on a date with Sam. Hope you girls remembered him”Annie said and stood up walking majestically.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Who will forget that guy, your love at first sight that I gave your number, “Joyce said with an eye roll.

“WOW! and you lied that you told him to leave me alone. Meanwhile, you gave him my number” Annie said with a pout.

“Why are you pretending like you don’t like him. You are happy about the date, but you wanted to pretend you don’t like him ” Pamela said with an eye roll.

“We are both the same, only Joyce isn’t pretending. I know you want to forgive Romeo but you won’t accept that easily.

Hmmm!”Annie said and adjust her shirt.

“Whatever, mind your business, see you guys tomorrow. No partying tonight” Pamela said, and stand from where she sat.

She picked up her backpack, show her car keys to them in a rude but playful manner.

The next day

Romeo POV

I stared at Pamela who has been avoiding me. But she didn’t take a damn glare at me.

Despite that, I didn’t stop staring at her. Not until our eyes met.

“Hmmmmm” She chuckled and looks away.

Oh damn, why is she so stubborn. I huffed and decide not to look at her again.

My eyes met with Kiles who got embarrassed the moment we entered the class. Why do y ask for my forgiveness instead?

He looks bothered and throws his face away.

Oh my God, he just throw this face away. I never expected this, I expected him to give me a bad look like he always does.

Things are just changing, should I say to better or to worst.

Kiles behaved strangely, While my Miss popular is also very angry. I will surely have your forgiveness soon.

I stare at Joyce and she winked at me, and stand up from her seat.

I smile and went to the seat beside Pamela who frown at me.

“Hey queen you look horrible” I whispered and flew my hands across her face.

Her eyelash twirls.

“What do you want now?”She asked with the dreaded look.

“Forgiveness, I want you to forgive your boy. I think you should hit me if you want to but I won’t stop apologizing” I said shaking my head.

“Please keep your peace the teacher will soon be here, Now tell me three reasons why you should be forgiven, I want to know, “Pamela said and raised three of her fingers in the air.

“Because it is a mistake, mistake, mistake,” I said, and join my hand together.

“We are in class, stop embarrassing me. Accept, I will forgive you on one condition “She said, while I looked on.
