"Good afternoon, Aunt" she greeted her with a warm embrace. Her aunt was having her lunch when she walked in. "Welcome, how was school today," she asked. "School was fine. It wasn't like the other days" She sat down and removed her school shoes with her socks as well. "Good to hear. Do you want to have your now or later? " she asked having a bite of her chicken. "I would love to do it now because I am famished but I had to freshen up before any other thing" She smiles and walked upstairs. "I am so happy that she is happy even if she didn't get the life she ever wanted" She sighed and continued with her meal. After some minutes, sapphire rushed down the stairs happily and sat down on one of the chairs in the dining room with her meal on the table. She took her cutleries and opened her meal. "Wow! It smells so nice" She licked her lip and her aunt was staring at her. "Stop behaving like a child. You will be eighteen by next week" she said and Sapphire was so surprised. "Aunt, I

"What is the meaning of this? We can't be friends anymore. You said it yourself. Why are you doing this? To mock me again? I don't have time for that. Get off my way! " said with a flushed face. "Really? Is this what you want? Come on, we shouldn't be saying this. We are friends and friends always sort out their difference when they wrong each other. Please I am sorry" She rubbed her forehead with a repented face. "Friends? You do not have the quality of a friend. Simply because of a guy, you reign all sorts of insults on me. You remind me of my condition. You think it is easy for me during those periods. I thought I had found a friend in you. I never knew I had found an enemy to myself. Have you not done enough already? Why can't you just let me be? I am cool without you as my friend. Stay away from my life. I shouldn't be seen with you. Just go away! " she frowns her face. "I know how angry you are but one thing I know for sure is that you are a good person. Please forgive me! I

She was shocked at once not until she looks up and found out that it was Courtney. "You can have it to wipe off your tears" She hands over her handkerchief to her. "Can I have a seat? I want us to talk about something for a while" she asked and Henrietta nod her head. Courtney sat down in space. "Crying your eyes out, won't change anything. Quicney and her are in a relationship now. They are no longer friends and I know you knew about it that's why you are crying. They love each other so much and no one can change that" She looks away. "Courtney, are you here to mock me? " she asked with her lips quivering. "Mock you? We are not on good terms and you don't expect me to be soft with you. There are other ways to get hold of your enemies than what you had done so far. I had thought about what you told me. I will love to be your friend and join hands with you to deal with Jeanne " She stared at Henrietta who was still shocked by what she was saying. "You are her friend. You shouldn'

Sapphire banged her room door so hard when she got in. She sat down on her bed. "Why can't I do what I want? My life is a mess! I can't be free to do what I want" She wrapped her arms around her body and sobbed. She heard a knock on her door. "Go away. I don't want to talk to you. You are so annoying" she screamed. "Sapphire, you have to calm down. You can talk about it. You know it breaks my heart when you are like this. Please open the door" she pleads. "I don't want to talk to you. You don't love me as you claim. Leave me the hell alone" she screamed. "My angel, please forgive me" she cried. Sapphire opened the door for her aunt and sat down on her bed. "Sapphire, I am sorry for all I said to you earlier. I don't want you to get hurt by the past again" She draw closer to her. "Aunt, I am sorry for yelling at you. I just want to be free and do the thing I love doing. I won't do it again, I promise" She buried her head in her pillow. "My love, you don't have to be sorry. Your

Sapphire didn't walk up to a mere when she broke down in tears and sat down on one of the seats. She threw her bag away angrily. "How can I Cope with this? I love him so much but it seems like my love is not enough. I need to stop thinking about him but I can't do it" She stuck her palm in her hair. Courtney was walking to her class when she saw Sapphire in such a condition and she walks up to her to find out what is going on. She picked up her bag from the ground and placed it on the chair before sitting down close to her. She placed her hand around her shoulders. "Jeaune, I know it is hard for you to get used to this. Quicney is not the kind of guy for you. He doesn't deserve any of your tears. He is addicted to sex and no one can change that. You just have to get him off your head because he doesn't deserve you" she consoles her. Sapphire removed her hand from her shoulders. "Courtney, stop it! Quicney is my choice and I love him with all my heart. I can't endure the pains I fel
