" I guess all is well now" Vinny said as Tyler and cyma walked in hand in hand
" Yeah, all thanks to that knucklehead" Tyler said
" I don't think it's me you're referring to, last I checked you're the knucklehead" Leo said and they all laughed
" You know come to think of it, we can have our meetings here" Vinny said
" I mean, there are chairs, food, drinks, space, us ..... It's good for our hangout" Vinny said
" I hate to admit, but he's not wrong" cyma said
" Yeah, he kinda have a point" Kiara said
" We can use this place till we find a spot, I mean we can have sleep overs sometime so we'll be needing a place to sleep" Vinny added
" It's not that easy finding a spot" Tyler said
" I think I know just the spot, but it would take weeks to get it cleaned up" Leo said
" Where?" Cyma asked
" My dad's old motel" Leo said
" Your dad had a motel?" Kiara asked
" Yeah, mostly a place for the geng hang over but it's not more in use for years now" Leo said
" Well, it's not a bad idea" Tyler said
" So it's decided then, this will be our base till we clean up the motel" Vinny said
" Yeah, we should check the place out too" cyma said
" Yeah great idea, how about tommorow?" Tyler asked
" Sure, why not?" Vinny said
" I'll try" Kiara said
" Do you have any special plans for tomorrow?" Leo asked
" I can't say" Kiara said
" If you guys are done with your little reunion, you can give me a hand in cleaning up" Douglas said
" I should probably get back now, they should have notice my absence" Kiara said
" Oh really, is that an excuse to avoid cleaning" vinny said
" No, I was given a time limit. Back me up cyma" she said
" I don't know anything about time limit but we sneaked her out of there so she should be on her way back" cyma said
" Thank you" she said
" I'll drop you off" cyma said
" Oh really, now you're both running off" Tyler said
Elena was in her room about to sleep when her mum came in
" What is it mum?" She asked sitting up
" Your sister told me you did exactly what I asked you not to"
" I'm confused"
" Oh don't be, you can't be. Not now at least, infact you have been confused all your life. That's why I'm here, to clear up all your confusion"
" Can you just get to the point, I'm feeling sleepy already"
" Attitude?, where did you get that?. From that loser, that gangster son"
" Are you talking about Leo?"
" I don't care who ever he is or what his name is, I just want you to end all ties with him"
" What are you taking about?"
" Your sister told me you are having an affair with that poor lowlife boy, and you're paying him for having sex with him"
" Oh really?, she must be mistaken. That's Jenna doing not mine"
" Hmph!, exactly as she said. Jenna told Angela that you'll try to blame her, you spread fake rumors about her to cover up for your own fault. Jenna happily accepted it cause she cares for you but yet you still went ahead to date the guy who insulted her and tried to molest her. Is that the kind of guy you like now?"
" Mum, I really don't wanna do this with you tonight" she said laying on her bed
" Wow, the audacity. Can't you see this guy is having a grave effect on you"
" If that's what you think then so be it. I'm tired, put off the light on your way out" she said putting on her eye mask and covering herself in her duvet
" You!!, I'll teach you a lesson later. I have other things to attend to now" her mum said before leaving angrily
Elena sighed after she was sure her mum had left, she couldn't believe Jenna would stoop that low. She sat down on her bed for a while before deciding to head to Jenna's place.
She didn't even bother knocking, she just barged into her room.
" Hey, you're here. I didn't see you at the banquet" Jenna said
" I'm not here to chit chat so keep your talk to your self" Elena said
" What's with the attitude?"
" Exactly, what's with this fake attitude of yours"
" What do you mean?"
" So now you wanna pretend that you didn't tell Angela about me and Leo and portray me as the bad person here"
" What are you talking about?"
" Stop it, just drop the act. I'm sick and tired of putting up with you and your nonsense. You're just angry that I'm with Leo, something you wanted but you lost cause of your pride and ego"
" I never liked Leo, and I'm not jealous that you got one of my leftovers"
" Leo is not a left over , he was never one. You are the one that clearly got dumped, despite all your money you couldn't keep him under your control"
" I'm really confused, I left Leo cause he wasn't useful for me again. And I expected both of you to come together, you know you're always going after my leftovers. Starting to seem like a tradition now"
" Yeah, exactly. You finally said what you feel, you don't consider me your best friend but your pawn.. and not anymore. From now on, you're on your own" Elena said as tears filled up her eyes
" You're just saying that cause you're mad, you'll be back to your senses by morning. You both know you can't do without me, I'm your only friend"
" You think?, well, maybe. But I'm going to make some new friends, and you ... It's something you can't "
" What exactly caused this matter?, Leo?. Are you angry that I fucked Leo or are you jealous that I had a guy and you never had one"
" Neither of the above, I'm pained that you know how much I liked Leo.. right from elementary school but yet you choose to fuck him behind my back and then you tried to talk me out from liking him because you did. You're just ashamed to admit the fact that you like Leo in the past and even till now, and me... I'm proud to say it anywhere, anytime.. even if it means going against my family for Leo .. I would" Elena said and she wiped her tears before leaving
She stood outside the Smith mansion, and let out a loud cry. She didn't know what to do now, and the next thing she did was to message Leo
Elena: are you free?
Leo: yeah, what's wrong?
Elena: home?
Leo: yeah I just got home
Elena: I'm coming over
Leo: sure😁
Tomika got home quite drunk but luckily for her no one was home as usual except for..
" Where are you coming from?" Tiffany asked
" A party" Mika said sitting
" A party?"
" Relax, it's a birthday party"
" Oh, but you're drunk"
" Am I?"
" Shit!, who gave a kid beer?"
" Jere"
" I should have known"
" We drank as a promise to keep our friendship strong"
" Friendship huh?"
" Yeah, me, jer and Alex"
" Alex"
" Yeah"
" So you still have a crush on jer?"
" Hell no, that was elementary school"
" So who's your crush now, Alex?"
" Alex is a girl"
" So, who said a girl can't like a girl"
" Huh"
" I'm just kidding, I know you don't like Alex"
" Yeah. I should probably get some rest now" Mika said standing up but she couldn't even balance
" Why did you drink when you know you can't handle it" Tiffany said helping her to her room
" I'm so tired" Mika said laying on her bed
" On top of how many drinks?" Tiffany said taking off Mike shoes
" You know I met a guy today"
" A guy?, hmm"
" Yeah, he told me to trust my sister. He spoke like he knows you more than me you know, and he was like you can tell your sis anything ... Why is she your sister then"
" Well, he's right. Why am I here if you hide things from me"
" Hmm, but I'm not hiding anything"
" You know you can speak to me about anything"
" Yeah, I think I forgot my purse at the guy's place"
" Where?"
" Bakers grab a bite, can you help me fetch it?"
" I'll do that tommorow"
" My phone is there"
" Fine, I'll get it for you" she said leaving
" Tiffany"
" Yes" she said stopping in her tracks
" I'm into girls"
" I know"
" You do?"
" Yeah, I was just waiting for the right time for you to tell me"
" I love you"
" I do too, get some rest" Tiffany said and she heard the door bell ring
" Who is there?" She said going to get the door
" You?" Tiffany asked surprised
" Um.. your little sister left her purse. I'm here to return it" Douglas said
" Yeah, thanks" she said collecting it
" Sure"
" And thank you for making her confide in me"
" Oh, it's nothing"
" I'm really grateful"
" It's nothing really"
" How about I treat you to a coffee some time" she said and he chuckled
" There's no need for that"
" We could get to know each other in the process"
" Okay"
" Here, this is my phone number" She said writing it in a piece of paper
" I'm Tiffany by the way" she said smiling as she gave him
" Douglas" he said
