Did you hear that, Declan just told me he loves me ! he believes I am here, he believed you Sasha. Daphne said excitedly and I smiled
And did you also see the kss! he kssed me, your brother kssed me twice. I said excitedly and she smirked
Is this the reason you stayed back! Come on Sasha, there is a class going on and you are here talking about a kss! She said with an eye roll
You wouldn’t understand! I am just so excited, Declan said he loved me…
Oh yeah! She drawled, can we go to class now, I really don’t want to miss the biology lessons. She said and before I could respond, she ran out of the class…..
I widened my eyes in surprise
Is she for real! so she left without waiting for me!
I walked out of the empty classroom and headed downstairs to the class…..

On getting to the class, I met the Biology teacher writing on the marker board ….
Oh right! I am late
I stood at the entrance and took a deep breathe before greeting the teacher
Good morning ma!
She paused what she was writing to look at me and then glanced at her wristwatch
Morning! this is afternoon already. She corrected and I exclaimed softly
And can you please tell me where you are coming from?
I erm er coming from the principal office, yes the principal office. I lied
She stared at me for a while and then sighed
You can go have you seat …..
Thanks ma. I said with a bow and walked towards my seat …..
Sitting down, I looked around for Daphne and smiled when I saw her standing in front of the Declan…
She turned sideways to meet my gaze and flashed me a smile
Crazy! I muttered
I bend over to bring out my Biology note and my phone from my back pack…..
I unlocked the phone to send a text to Declan
“Daphne is right in front of you”
I watched him bring his phone out from his pocked, he went through it and looked around him before turning sideways to meet my gaze ….
Where exactly is she? he mouthed at me
Right in front of you. I mouthed back at him and he smirked…..
Mr Davies! Miss Alfredo! Can you please wait till after the class before you continue with your lovey dovey? The teacher scolded and the whole class laughed…..
I am sorry ma. We both chorused together and the class laughed again…..
The teacher shook her head and then continued with her teaching …….
That was so close! I muttered…..
Looking around the class i shivered when I met Racheal’s gaze, it was kind of deadly………

The hours dragged on till it was time for closing …
Yippee! It is time to go home ..
And as usual, I shove my books into my back pack..
Standing up from my seat, I was about walking up to Declan when I sighted Cory at a corner seat with her head placed on the table…
Is she crying? I wondered
I walked up to her and hit my fist on the table but she didn’t budge….
Cory! I called tapping her gently and when she looked up, I shifted back a little seeing her bloodshot eyes and the swelling around her eyes…
Cory! what is wrong! Are you alright! I asked in a rush but she just stared on at me…..
Please talk to me, why are you crying? I asked
Go away! She retorted and then placed her head back on the table……
What is wrong with her? I wondered …..
I looked around the class for Declan and Daphne but they were not in class….
Where could they be?

Standing outside the class, I saw them at the entrance of the hall way.
Declan was talking and laughing with his friends while Daphne was just grinning to whatever they were saying…….
I felt so jealous! So she left my side to be with her brother who can’t even see her!
I walked up to them and Daphne smiled on seeing me ……
I scoffed and looked away
Declan! I called tugging at his clothes and he turned back to face me
hey! Where have you been? he asked, I have been looking around for you……
Looking around! Oh I can see! I drawled and he smirked
Let us go. he said and took my hand into his as we walked out of the building with Daphne following right behind us……..

We got to the school car lot and I widened my eyes in surprise when he stopped in front of a red car…..
Is the car yours! I asked and he nodded
Wow! wow! this is so beautiful! Daphne remarked
Of course it is Daphne. I agreed with her and Declan gave me a curious look
Is Daphne here with us? he asked picking his words and I nodded
Oh! he exclaimed softly and then got into the driver seat without saying anything……
What is wrong with him! I wondered
I will meet you at home. Daphne said in whispers and I nodded without looking at her …..
Opening the car door, I got into the passenger seat and Declan drove off heading to my home…….

The drive to my home was a quiet one as Declan seems to be lost in thought …
I sighed softly as my mind drifted off to Cory , I was really worried about her…
What could be wrong with her! I just hope she is alright…
The left or right turning? Declan asked distracting me from my thoughts
The right. I answered and he controlled the steering wheel and made a right turn….
I never knew you were this perfect in driving. I said trying to make a conversation, who taught you to drive? I asked.
My dad. he answered softly and I smiled lightly
You must really miss him, how was he like? I probed on and he glanced at me before answering…..
he is caring, nice and sometimes annoying……
Annoying! I repeated
Yes, he always take side with Daphne. he paused and then sighed, Is Daphne here with us? he asked softly
No. I answered and he nodded without saying anything

On getting to my house, Declan Parked in front….
is this your house? he asked with shock written all over his face and I nodded
And if I am not mistaken, you said Daphne necklace was found inside this building right?he asked again and I nodded
Dmn! he hit his fist on the steering wheel
Are you alright! what is wrong! I asked in a rush and he sighed
This building used to be an abandoned old building and since there was no one living in it , we made it a venue for our class weekend parties…..
Weekend parties! I repeated and he nodded…..
Are you trying to say you have been here before? I asked
Not only me, the whole of the class. he corrected….
Interesting!
We alighted from the car and walked towards the front door….
Talking a deep breathe, I pushed the door opened we both walked in..
And as expected, my mom seated on the sofa watching television
Good evening mom! I greeted and she looked up at me with a smile ……
Welcome back baby. She greeted and then shifted her gaze to Declan
And who is the cutie beside you? She asked still smiling and I swallowed hard
erm he is my class mate and we have a project to work on together. I lied
Good evening ma! Declan greeted with a slight bow
You are welcome dear. She responded…..
Actually erm we will be going upstairs to my room. I said nervously expecting her to object to it but instead, she nodded slowly………..
Thanks ma! I said and then faced Declan, let us go..
Taking few steps to the stairs, I turned back to meet my mum curious gaze
She gave me a ”we will talk about this later” look and then looked away ….
Oh yeah! I drawled and climbed up the stairs to my room with Declan following behind me…..
*
Entering my room, I tossed my bag on the floor and sat down on the bed
So what next ? I asked Declan who was busy looking around the room…..
Where did you find the necklace? he asked
Over there. I said pointing to the exact place I saw the necklace, there was a crack in the wall but it has been fixed. I explained
This is so ¢razy! I mean how did her necklace get to be behind a crack wall, was she struggling with something or…….
Someone. I completed and he bit his lips in anger
If she was struggling with someone who could it be! I guess we need to start all over from the beginning…..
