CHAPTER 7
HOSPITAL***
“Eat some more Seth” Sabrina said feeding Seth. Her face was now brighten than before because her brother is finally awake.
Seth is her stepbrother, but she loves him so dearly, and to her Seth was her life. Her mom already passed away, and she was left with Seth and her stepfather, who happens to be Seth’s father.
His not someone who Sabrina will love to talk about because his addicted to alcohol and cigarettes and whenever his wasted, he verge his anger on both Sabrina and Seth.
But this past few days have been okay for them cos Jackson their supposed father isn’t home for the mean time.
“Aren’t you going to school today big sis?” Seth asked, Sabrina smiles and caress his cheek.
“No Seth”
“Why not? Is it because of me?”
“Of course not Seth, we aren’t doing anything important in school today, a new school year just started, so new students are getting ready to take the exams into Empire High, school can fully start after that” Sabrina said.
Seth sighs.
“I’m sorry big sis, thanks to me, you’ll have to work extra miles just to pay for my hospital bills” Seth said sadly.
“Don’t be sad about that Seth, Someone settled it already”.
“Really? Who? Your boyfriend?” Seth asked.
“Of course not Seth, I don’t even have one to begin with and am not ready to start a relationship with anyone, Love and dating isn’t for me” Sabrina said.
“And why not? Your beautiful” Seth said.
“Because I have lots of responsibility, I have tons of my part-time jobs waiting for me, I have you to take care of, and I have to keep up with my grades, so my scholarship won’t be rescinded” Sabrina said.
“Sorry about that big sis, but who then paid for my hospital bills?”
“I don’t know, he doesn’t want me to know who he is, but whoever he might be, am grateful to him, my brother is okay and healthy again” Sabrina said smiling.
Someone who has been listening to their conversation smiles, he turns to leave and met the doctor about to go in.
“How’s her brother doing?” He asked.
“He’s getting better and will be discharged in no time” The doctor said.
“Make sure he gets the proper treatment, am going to pay for everything including his medicines” He said.
“Alright, But can I ask why your doing all of this?” The doctor asked.
The boy looks at the door and he could see half of Sabrina’s face, since the door wasn’t fully close and he could see her smiling, he smiled as well.
“Because I love her… I love her so much” He said.

THE CASTILLO’S HOUSE***
“I’m so happy to finally eat!!!!” Paige screams hitting the spoon on the table.
“Can’t you stay a minute without trying to make a noise, I had an earful earlier, cos the neighbors keeps complaining about your unending noise” Grey said.
“Whatever Grey, they should go and die… Food is finally here!!!” She screams and continues htting her spoon on the table.
Helena h!ts her head.
“Let’s just eat in peace Paige, we know your crazy, but let’s have a peaceful meal, without you disturbing everyone” Helena said.
Paige giggles and began to eat.
“When is dad coming home? Is he not yet done fishing?” Paige asked. Her Dad is actually a fisherman and as such Paige has learned lots of things from him.
“Since it’s summer break, his going to come home soon” Greg answers.
“Then I can’t wait to see him, is being two years since I last saw him” Paige said smiling.
“That’s because you choose to stay in Taiwan with Aunt Cathy, I was surprised when you said you were coming back to Chicago” Greg said.
“And now that she’s back, she’s refusing to start school again” Helena said.
Paige ignores her and continues eating.
“I already bought the scholarship form of Empire High for you” Helena said and Paige spranged up quickly.
“How? When? I was with you the entire day, so how were you able to get the form?” Paige asked.
“Our neighbor’s daughter is also taking the scholarship exam, so she helped me get the form ealier today, You should go for the exam” Helena said.
“With what? I don’t have the brain to take an exam, Greg can’t help out cos am even better than him in terms of exams, So you should return the form or better still, sell it at a cheaper rate to anyone who wants to take the exam” Paige said.
Helena was about protesting when Grey cut her Short by saying;
“Nadine’s new photos have just been uploaded…. Wow no wonder she’s the queen of Empire High, if she wasn’t 18, I’d have a crush on her, but too bad, she’s a minor”
“Lemme see” Paige said taking the phone from Greg and her eyes widened.
“This D’vil!!”
“You know her?” Greg asked.
“Yes, she’s the spoilt brat that insulted mom earlier… So she’s indeed a model” Paige said.
“Yes, she’s also the queen of Empire High”
“Did you just say Empire High?” Paige asked.
“Yes, she attends the school and rumors have it that she’s feared by students there”.
Paige smirks.
“Queen of Empire High…. Feared by students” Paige scoffs.
“I’m going to take the scholarship exam to Empire High….. Let’s see if she’s going to be the queen of that school, when I finally land” Paige said and smirks.

SAME NIGHT***
Carding walks down the street with his headphone on, he doesn’t want to see his mom at home, that’s why he just decide to walk down the street of the night to pass out time.
He smiles when he remembered Paige’s face.
“She really got me big time, I can’t even stop thinking about her… God I want to see her again” Carding said to himself walking, but he stopped when he sees Paige.
He shakes his head.
“I’m I seeing things now?” He asked himself, he cleans his eyes just to verify if it was her, and indeed it was her.
She was standing a little distance from a hamburger stand, sniffing the fragrance of the hamburger, and the way she sniffs in the aroma of the hamburger was very funny.
“I wish I have the money to buy it, I’ll just inhale the fragrance” She said sniffing more deeply like a dog.
Carding almost laughed out loud.
“She’s crazy” He said smiling as he watched her sniffing the aroma of the hamburger.
After watching her for a seconds he approach her from behind and taps her smiling.
Thinking it was one of the street thug, Paige takes his hand and flip him over her shoulder, landing him on a table.
The table broke and Carding’s back hits the bare floor, Paige immediately place her boot on his chest.
“Who’re you?”
“Miss… Is me” Carding struggle to say, as pains hits him.
“Carding” Paige said recognizing his face.
