Andrea is now helping Nancy clean the chairs. They are tired so they decided to rest.
Andre- I never thought cleaning would be so fun
Nancy -me too.
Both - because of u.
They both smiled
Nancy -andre thanks a lot.
Andre -for what exactly. For teaching me how to clean?
Nancy smiled
Nancy -stop joking. U know what I mean.
Andre- Nancy stop telling me thanks. U are my friend .
Nancy frowned
Andre -what? Why are u frowning? Didi say something wrong?
Nancy -no u didn't. I just thought of something else that's why
Andre -mind sharing?
Nancy -u didn't tell me how ur first outing with Betty went
Andre -u are trying to change the topic. OK I won't force u to talk.
Actually it went well. She bought meat pie I offered to pay but she refused. She was really nice to me
Nancy -thats the first
Andre-exactly. I wonder why she decided to take me seriously this time around
Nancy - I don't think she is taking u seriously
Andre frowned
Andre - what do u mean
Nancy - she might be why u only for a reason.
Andre -nancy why are u talking about
Nancy -she is my friend OK maybe was once my friend but I know her she likes Roy
Andre-and u know Roy likes someone else. What if she decided to forget him
Nancy - Betty never give up. She wants something she does anything to make it happen.
Andre -are u trying to say she is only using me?
Nancy -i know it's sad but yes I think so
Andre -maybe u don't know her very well as u claim. U said it by ur self she is no more ur friend. Maybe she changed.
Nancy -andre I don't want u to get hurt later on. Am sure Betty has a plan.
Betty -hi Andre (shouting so they could hear)
Andre quickly stood up and went to meet Betty who was a little bit far away.
Betty -i have been looking for u.
Andre -i was helping Nancy to clean
Betty -why are u helping her? She disobeyed school rules so she should be punished.
Andre -i get that u two aren't in good terms but we are both is good terms and I like her
Betty -i thought u like me.
Andre -yes I do. I like her as a friend but I like u more.
Betty -thata nice to hear but I want u to say it louder
Andre - why?
Betty - are u ashamed to say it
Andre -no no no
Betty -then say it loud ND clear
Andre- I like u.. (half yelling)
Nancy didn't hear what he was saying but mainly looking at how he was smiling and saying something to her made her jealous.
Betty - I want the birds to hear it Andre - I like u so much bettttttty (yelling)
Nancy heard it this time around.
And turned her face the opposite way she didn't want Betty to see her tears.
Betty -thats more like it.
Andre -so where are u up to.
Betty -anywhere u wish.
Andre-should we go to the restaurant.
Betty -as u wish Andre.
She smiled at him.
Andre turned to see Nancy backing them
Andre - Nancy I will be right back ( shouting)
She quickly cleaned her tears and turned to fake a smile
Andre smiled back and he and Betty walked out.
#####
Betty's mum have already gone back home.
Sarah is now in the restaurant with Roy

Betty -did u say something?
Sarah shook her head
Roy -betty why are u here
Betty - u don't ask ur future wife why she is sitting with u.
Roy frowned and turned to look at Sarah who was quite angry. And he understands why.
Sarah -betty can I know why u said is ur future husband?
Betty - what?? Like seriously u don't know? He didn't tell u? Why would he tell u when he knows his just flirting with u

Betty - am so excited to know he didn't tell u and I have to be the one to say it.
Sarah -just spit it out
Betty - don't order me around. I am just doing this not because u asked me but because I want to.
Roy - Betty shut up
Betty -well my dad and Roy's dad made a deal when we were young. We were madly in love with each other
Roy -thats was before. Not now
Betty - what? That's hurts. Whatever whether u like me or not. We will end up together.
Sarah -what deal
Betty -relax girl. We are to get married when we get to a certain age. Both me and Roy agreed.
Sarah -what. .
Roy - I was naive. I thought I liked her
Betty - u thought u like me just like the way u think u like her (pointing to Sarah)
Sarah - wait am still getting this into my head
Betty -what is there to think. Roy knows that we will get married later on. But chose to flirt with you for the Mean time
Roy -betty don't put words in my mouth
Sarah stood up
Sarah-roy where u playing with me.
Roy stood up too
Roy -no no I won't ever do that. It's u I like
Sarah -what do u mean by that? U want me to like u then at the end u marry her.
Roy -no Sarah. I was going to find a solution.
Roy tried to hold her hand but she slapped it away
Sarah -when where u going to tell me
Betty - maybe he wasn't ever going to tell u.
Sarah and Roy -shut uppp.
Betty -oh OK. (raising her hands up and smiling)
Roy - I was going to tell u

Roy -no Sarah listen to me.

Sarah -i don't care anymore. Roy I won't let u use me. Am done.
She said and walked out
Roy -sarah Sarah.
He started walking after her
But Betty dragged him back
Betty -leave her alone baby. She needs time
Roy -shut up and leave me alone. (yelling)
Betty -dont yell at me. I was only helping.
Roy dragged his hand away from her Her
Betty smiled. She was enjoying every bit of what she caused.
Roy started looking for Sarah but he didn't see her .
Roy -maybe I should let her be for a while. So she can calm down. I hate that bitch Betty. I hope she disappears from my life. Forever.
###
Sarah ran to the visitors room and started crying again.
She doesn't know what hurts more, if it's because Roy lied or he was going to marry her twin sister, or because she liked him and she thought he likes her but was all a pretence, or her not being her parents real child.
She stayed in the visitors room and cried till break was over.
#####
Roy -have u seen Sarah
Henry -she is always with u. What happened
Roy -not much but have u seen her
Henry -no I haven't.
Roy -ok thanks.
###
The bell rang for break over and everyone was in the class.
####
Sarah walked In and she made sure that she didn't look at Roy or Betty.
She now feels disgust when she looks at him.
She went to her sit and sat down close to henry
Henry -sarah are u OK
Sarah-yes
Henry -u don't look OK. Earlier Roy was looking for u.
Sarah -am fine
Henry -did u guys quarrel.
Sarah -am fine (yelling)
The class turned to look at her and she rested her head. They looked away.
Betty smiled
Henry -this is the first time i have heard u yelling. U are definitely not fine. We will talk later when u are calm
He said to Sarah.
Roy wanted to go and meet her but couldn't he knows she is angry and she might just get more angry if he goes close to her. He looked at Betty and she smiled at him.
####
Math teacher came into the class. And gave them class work to solve on logarithm.
Sarah couldn't solve it well. She loves maths and all science subject but right now she just want to go home and sleep to forget all that has happened to her today...
Everyone has summited his or her class work except Sarah.
Maths teacher -sarah have u submitted ?
Sarah looked up and all eyes are on her. She hasn't even solved or written anything on her note
Maths teacher -are u OK Sarah?
He walked up to her and Sarah quickly covered her book.
Put he opened it
Maths teacher -u haven't even written the topic of today's work. Not even written the examples. This is not like u Sarah. Is everything OK.
She looked at Roy whose eyes are pleading for her to forgive him
Maths teacher -sarah are u OK
Sarah nodded
Maths teacher - if it were to be someone else I would have driven that person away from my class. Just because u are my best student I will give u a second chance. U have 1 hour to write everything on the board and summit ur class work.
Sarah nodded.
Very smiled again.
####
Nancy has been crying. For some time now. She is really hurt by what Andre said. She knows she will never get Andre to like her and that hurts a lot.
Andre came and went to meet her.
She didn't know he was there. She was resting her head on her laps.
Andre touched her. She immediately got startled
Nancy -what the hell.
Andre-nancy why are u crying.
She quickly wiped her tears away with her hands
Andre -why are u crying.
Nancy -u startled me
Andre -nancy are u OK? Who is making u cry? Why are u crying?
Nancy -am not crying (her voice is cranky )
Andre -dont lie to me. I saw ur tears on ur face. Come on why are u crying
Nancy - should I tell him that he is the reason am crying? That he was shouting I like u to Betty despite knowing the fact that I could hear him? How could he like Betty? She is only using him maybe to get to me and it's working. How am I going to tell him all this. That I like him and he likes someone who hates me.
She started crying again and Andre hugged her and patted her back.
Andre -its OK. Nancy am here for u. It's OK.
She cried more. Hearing him say he is here for her as a friend hurts her alot. She wants more than a friend.
####
Sarah managed to solve her math problem and she failed one.
Maths teacher -this is the first time u are failing my question. What's wrong
Sarah -am OK sir.
Maths teacher -come with me to my office
Sarah -sir am really. OK its just that am having head ache (lying)
Teacher -oh OK. No wonder. Why don't u go to the school clinic.
Sarah -i will go immediately after this class.
Maths teacher -ok dear. Do take care.
Sarah -thank u sir.
#####
Roy is really worried about her. It's true Sarah never fails a math problem and now she failed one today. And also she said she has a headache. Was it because she was crying.
He can't wait for class to be over so he can go and talk to her
######
Class is over
Roy quickly went to meet Sarah.
Roy -sarah let's talk.
Sarah -am not in the mood to talk. My head hurts
Roy -let me take u to the clinic.
Sarah -i can walk. Just leave me alone. I don't want to see or talk to u right now.
She said and walked out.
When she went to the car park she remembered that Emily wasn't in school to take her home .
She wonder if she should ask Roy.. Of course not. He lied to her.. Maybe not lie but he kept the truth say form her

Just then she saw Betty's mum Coming towards her.
She forgot that Betty's mum was going to be taking her home to pack her things from her uncles house and following her to stay for some time.
Betty's mum -hi Beverly
Sarah -hi ma'am.
Betty's mum -do u mind if I call u Beverly.
Sarah -am OK with it ma'am.
Betty's mum -ok thank love. Are u ready to go.

She looked around to search for Betty she didn't see her. She must have gone home. She wonder if she has told Betty about her. She will definitely freak out.
She followed Bettys mum to her car and three other car escorted them.she directed them to her uncles house.
Her aunty was outside hanging clothes when she saw four luxurious cars packing in their compound. She went closer to see what was going on.
She saw a woman coming down which was Betty's mum she was covering her hair with a cloth .so people wouldn't recognize her. With three other guards and then she saw Sarah coming down. She quickly ran to meet them
Aunty - madam abeg whatever this small girl has done to u please forgive her
Sarah was surprised to see her aunt pleading on her behalf. What gave her that belief that she was in trouble.
Sarah went to meet her and started whispering
Sarah -aunty am not in trouble
Aunty -shut up. Kneel down now and beg the lady.
Betty's mum just smile as she watch the drama
Sarah - aunty she is my real mum
She quickly turned to face Sarah
Aunty -are u mad? Don't u know ur mother again?
Sarah -am not mad aunty. She is my biological mother.
Aunty -what do u mean? Ur parents are poor Sarah poor and they are in the village
Sarah wonder why she was emphasising on the poor.
Betty's mum -can we go inside and talk.
Her aunt looked around and saw that her neighbours were already gathering.
Aunty -amebo aproko people. Waitin make una commot from una house na. Amebo go kill una.
They didn't reply rather they wanted to know what was happening.
One of the neighbour shouted First Lady.
It was a teenager.
Teen-its the First Lady.
A man -shut up go inside and read ur book. What will the First Lady be doing in our compound and what's worse with this people (pointing at Sarah's aunt)
Aunty -waitin u mean. I better pass u. U wey ur full family dey hawk they waka and u dey House they sleep they Carry women.
Sarah quickly went to meet her aunt and begged her to stop that she is embarrassing her .
Betty's mum wanted to go back to her car and Sarah's aunt saw her and ran to meet her and beg her to come in
Aunty -abeg sister no vex come inside abeg.
Betty's mum looked at Sarah. She has to endure all of it for her daughter and smiled.
Then she followed her aunty inside the house with her two guards while the rest remain in the car. Some guard the house while some the compound.
Teenager -am telling u she is the First Lady. Am sure of it
Man -shut up how many times will I tell u
Teenager - this is Abuja and it's not a problem for her to come here.if she isn't the First Lady what are they guards here and why was she covering her face

The other neighbors watch the drama some gossiping them while others are quiet. But they couldn't go near Sarah's aunt house because of the guards
####
Betty's mum - hmm Sarah here is my child.
Aunty -i don't understand her parents are in the village
Sarah -they aren't my real parents.
Betty's mum - yes. We lost her some years ago in the hospital that I have birth to her. And we have done a DNA and it's confirmed they aren't her parents but me.
She looked at Sarah
Sarah nodded
Sarah-Yes the person who stole me left me in the dumbsite so my mum found me and since they couldn't give birth they took care of me as their own. They told. Me themselves today in Skul.
Aunty -so u mean this rich woman is ur mum. Are u sure.

Aunty -u mean u are leaving us now. Today.
Sarah -am sorry but yes.
Aunty - I don't know if I should be happy or sad all I know is that I know u have a Brighter future with them.
Betty's mum -thanks.take this 100,000 as a way of saying thank u.. Her guard gave it to Sarah's aunt
She took it and started dancing.
Sarah smiled.
Then she knelt down to thank Bettys mum.
Betty's mum -get up. It's nothing. U helped me to find my daughter. If u don't bring her to the city and asked her to write that scholarship exam I might not have seen her till now
She stood up
Aunty -God will bless u, increase u and enlarge u. Sarah I can't wait to show ur Uncle This money.
Sarah smiled and she wondered if her mum also gave her former parents money too. She prayed that she did. They needed to stop suffering.
###
The guards follow Sarah to her room and helped her to pack her things. Soon she was ready. Her things have been taken to the car.
Aunty hugged Sarah and almost cried but held it back.
Sarah -i wish I could wait for uncle to come but I can't.
Aunty -i wish u all the beat Sarah. Always remain the good girl that u have always been.
Sarah smiled.
After a while of hugging and saying good bye. Sarah is now in the car and they are about to go. Sarah waved her aunty good bye and she waved back. She was happy and at the same time sad.
#####
They have reached Betty's mum mansion.
Sarah -woahhh it's like Roy's house.
Betty's mum -have u been to Roy's house.
Sarah -no no. He showed me through his phone.
Betty's mum wanted to ask her if she had anything with Roy but decided against it.
Sarah -its beautiful ma'am. Ur house is lovely.
Betyy mum - really. Come inside.
As they went inside she saw Betty the sitting room watching movie.
Betty stood up. And saw Sarah immediately her mood changed.
