I took a deep breath and tried to focus on the game I was playing but I was failing miserably. Jade was standing in front of me and it was taking all of my willpower not to look at her. I'd love to dare a glance at her but I couldn't, if I don't want to make a fool of myself because I for sure knew I wouldn't be able to stop staring once I looked at her.

~Jade~I stared at Michelle, then at Uthman, wondering where and how She knew about Zee.Maybe Uthman told her.My subconscious whispered to me but deep down, I knew there was no way in the world Uthman would do that to me.
