FLASHBACK

“To the day Jeffrey suggested the plan”
“What’s your plan?” Emeka asked
Jeffrey cleared his throat and began to say.
“Since Caroline likes you then I suggest we
use her to find out if Angella is the
anonymous poster” Jeffrey said
“I don’t understand” He said
“I’ll make it simple..You have to act like you
love Caroline to get what you need -”
Jeffrey explained
“Oh! Boy! You get sense too much! But are
you sure its going to work out?” Emeka
said

“It depends on you” Jones said
“Yes act very well like you can even start by
hugging her tomorrow” Temi said
“That one will take time. I don’t like to long
things” Emeka said
“Please come up with the best plan to get
her to tell you the truth” Jeffrey said
“No problem Bro” Emeka said
Jones raised his hands
“We have to stop those junior students
from saying nonsense about Kate too” He
said

“You have any idea of how we can stop
them?” Jeffrey asked
“Let’s start seizing phones” Temi blurted
They all exchanged glances
“Since Mr Joel already warned us to stop
bringing our phones to school, so we can
seize their phones. And we won’t give it to
back to them until we are such they will
stop saying bad things about Kate” Temi
explained

“We have to lead by example” Jeffrey said
“That’s not a problem for me. I don’t bring
my phone to school always” Elena said
“We can stop bringing our phones from
tomorrow”
Jones said
“I agree to the notion and any student that
true to prove stubborn -”
“We will flog them!” Jones cuts in
“And I think.. I’ll start using my cane as
from tomorrow” Elena said
“I think..Or as prefects we must start using
our canes and authority” Jones corrected
He was the Social prefect of EHS, Temi was
the Labour Prefect while Emeka was the
assistant Social prefect.

“I appreciate everyone of you for trying to
help me” Kate thanked them
“What are friends for?”

Temi and Elena hugged her. And she had to
crouch down to their sizes to hug them
respectively.

“I’m sure we’ll find the culprit and the
whole truth soon” Jones Said
“Tomorrow will be a great day!”
Emeka yawned loudly
“Bushman” Jones frowned at him
“Who wants a ride in my car?” Emeka asked

“please drive us to the junction we’ll take a
taxi home” Elena said
“Why take a taxi when I can drive everyone
to their respective home” Emeka said as
they made their way to the garage.
“Won’t that be stressful for you?” Elena
said

“And you’ll get home late” Temi added
“I don’t have anything doing at home”
Emeka Answered

“Okay..Drive us home”Temi said
“I’ll drive Kate home”Jeffrey said
“No problem” Elena said
Jeffrey and kate motioned towards his
bike.

“See you tomorrow” Temi said
They waved at Kate before Jeffrey started
the bike and zoomed off.

“I think those two are dating” Jones
scratched his right ear.

“How is it your business?” Temi said
“I’m..I’m..Just saying -” Jones said
“Amebo” she said
“Please don’t start love fight in my car”
Emeka said

They laughed
“I’m sleeping at Aunty Joke’s place today”

Jeffrey said when they pulled up in front of
Kate’s home.
“Is your dad home with your stepmom?”
Kate asked giving him the spare helmet.
“Yes and I already sent a text to them. I
told them I won’t be coming home” he
explained

“Okay..” She said
“Do you want me to come and pick you up
tomorrow?” He asked

“I’ll send you a text” she replied in a low
tone
He nodded slowly

“Kate” He grabbed her wrist when she was
almost leaving. Her gaze dropped on his
hand on her.

“I’m sorry” he muttered
“Sorry? For?” She raised a brow.
“About what happened at school..the
pictures and news. I feel like I should have
done something to stop it before it got to
this”

And he was determined to find out
Angella’s plans but he didn’t expect it to be
like this.

Kate knew he was blaming himself again. It
wasn’t his fault. Its no ones fault. And she
didn’t Like the sad look on his face. She
leaned in and touched his face.
“Is there something I can do to get a
smile?” she mumbled with a half smile on
her face. He reached for her Hand and
sq££zed it gently, brushing strands of hair
from her face.

“I should be the one saying that” he said
“I’ll be fine” she said
Jeffrey sighed

“No, I want you to be fine” He said
She bit her lower lip trying to blink back
tears. Jeffrey felt her tremble for a second.
“You want to tell me something” he asked
She nodded

“I’m..I’m” she swallowed hard
“I’m scared” she said finally
“Mr Joel called my dad and now he’s back
home. I don’t know if he’s going to give
me a chance to explain things to him” She
said
He leaned in and hugged her.

“What if he decides to send me to another
school? What do I do if he hates me
completedly now?”
He shushed her
“Don’t worry too much. Everything will be
fine” He said
She held him tightly
“I’m sure he’s going to listen to you this
time around” he said
“I hope so” She whispered
He pulled away from her and looked into
her eyes. She snifled
“Don’t think too much okay?” He said.
She nodded

“Thanks for not believing the news” she
said

“Kate, i won’t be against you even if the
whole world is against you” He placed a
kiss on her forehead. His words and move
sparked emotions of happiness and
endearment in her. She became free of
worry. Jeffrey hands came flying to her
face and he poked her cheeks.
“Be happy Love” he breathed out
And she felt the rush of colors entering her
cheeks.

“Like..That” he kissed her cheeks.
“Extend my greetings to your mom” he
added
And she smiled smile at him
“Good night” she said before before
walking to the gate. She knocked and she
was greeted by the gateman. She looked
back at Jeffrey for the last time and he
waved before driving off.
She inhaled deeply before walking into the
sitting room. The gateman had Informed
her that her dad was back home.
“Kate what took you so long?!” Her mom
asked

“I’m sorry mom I had to wait for the other
students to leave” Kate explained
“Your dad is back” She said
Kate shook her head

“Did you talk to him?” She breathed out
heavily, her heart pounding hard again her
chest.

Second ago she was happy and now she
was afraid of her father. Mrs Adebowale
could see the fear in her eyes. She stepped
closer and held her hands.

“Yes, I explained everything to him” she
replied

“I’m..Scared” Kate whimpered
“He -”

Mr Adebowale cleared his throat,
interrupting his wife’s statement. Making
Kate freeze in place.
