ANDREA POV

I lingered by the door and when I didn’t hear a thing,I walked into the house and I was surprise to see Beatrice eating dinner with Brenda

“Beatrice”i called and she looked up l,at one moment her expression is one of happiness and then the next she is angry .

“I will head home now”she said as she stood up but quickly I went to her to stop her

“Let’s talk Beatrice”I said as I blocked her path

“I don’t want to talk to you Andrea”she said looking away

“Common Beatrice just talk, I miss the three of us being together”Brenda said

“I have nothing to talk about with a liar ”

“But I have to talk to you Beatrice and you will listen”I said and with out waiting for her to say a thing, I pulled her arm and took her to Brenda room

“I don’t want to talk to you”she said as she turned to leave and I hugged her.

“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to fool you,I just didn’t know how to tell you and I was scared, scared that if you had found out, you all will stop being my friend and then you will blame me”I said and angrily she pulled away

“Do you think that when I find out that you are poor I won’t be friends with you, we have been together, I took you as my best friend,I told you every thing about me and expected the same of you but it turns out that you lied, it shows that you did not trust me or Brenda”she said crying

“It’s not that Beatrice, Back in my former school I was treated badly and it was because I was poor and so……”

“You thought that all rich kids are the same and that if we found out we will also bully you?”she asked

“Yes, am sorry for thinking that way, now I know and If you will let me,I want to make it up to you”I said

“You can’t make it up to me,you broke my heart when you lied ,I don’t think I want to be friends with you”she said hesitating a bit

Quickly I hugged her again “I won’t ever lie to you guys,I promise to tell you the truth always, don’t end our friend ship, you and Brenda mean so much to me”the last thing I said got to her and she smiled a bit

“Really! Do we mean so much to you?”she asked again

“Yes “I replied

“That’s good then, no more lies okay, share your burden with us and we will also share ours with you “she said giving me another hug

“Well I do have a burden to share with you guys and that is about school tomorrow”I said

Some one knocked on the door and Brenda poked her head in

“Are we back to being one now?”she asked and we both nodded.

*************************

“So you are saying that you are scared to go to school tomorrow?” Beatrice asked as we all sat on the chair in Brenda room

“Yes I am,you guys accepted me even knowing that am not part of your class but the others might not think the same way?”I said softly

“Don’t worry about them Andrea,all that matters is that you come to school, if some of them look down on you don’t pay them any attention and if they should try to bully you, then we will be there to stop them okay!”Beatrice said

“And she also has two knights who will be protecting her”Brenda said

“What knight?”Beatrice asked

“Max and Jack”I said softly

“It turns out that she is dating max and recently Jack confess his feelings to her”Brenda filled Beatrice in

“Oh no! Two hunks are over you, though you have been taken by one”Beatrice said dreamily

“I know right! “I said I thought of Jack and his insistence on making me see how much he likes me

“Jack is really some thing, he has always been acting cool around you and none of its ever figured out that he is just doing it because he likes you, I would have like you to pick my cousin but am fine with Max and as long as you are happy with one of them,then am happy”Beatrice said and that earned her a smile from me

“So no more talking about school or guys, lets just focus on ourselves, tonight we will be having a girls night!!!!”Brenda yelled as she went to turn on the speaker.

THE NEXT DAY

I stood in front of the school gate starring at the school it self

Through out the night,I kept wondering about today, how would I do i feel if am still rejected or worse will they bully me?

I have to over come my fears, so right now, I will go into class and no matter what the other kids say or do, I will face it.

Having decided on that, I walked into school,some of them were starring at me,while some whispered and gave me a hateful look.

I got to class and the other students who were busy doing their stuff stopped when they saw me arrive.

“Hello”I greeted and they kept starring at me in Silence

“She just greeted you guys, would it be bad to answer” Beatrice said as she came to stand beside me

“We are just surprised to see her here?” A student said

“And why would you be surprised? Were you expecting her to leave”Brenda asked

“Let’s not fight guys! All I want to do is to apologise to you all”I said softly

“Apologise? Your apology won’t erase the truth that you lied”a student said

“Yes, it won’t erase the truth, Brenda and beatrice might have accepted you but we won’t” another added

“Just go away, we don’t want to mingle with a poor thing like you”another said

I knew this would happen and that is why have come prepared for it.

“I lied and I regret it, it won’t also erase the truth that am poor, that I live at my mom work place and that am also the daughter of a maid,I can’t change that but I can change what you think of me”I said

“And that is why am here today not cowering away like a coward, I am here to get your forgiveness and also to ask you to take me back”I said softly and they all stared at me,some were willing to do as I say while some were still angry.

“Common guys, accept her apology”Geoffrey said as he got up

“I don’t mind being friends with her, we shouldn’t be biased, even if we are rich, we shouldn’t be cruel to those who doesn’t have and if she had lied she has her reason”the class rep said to every one.

“You are right”

“We shouldn’t be biased”

“She has been a friend to us and she will keep on being a friend”

They all began to talk at the same time, I felt so happy knowing that they have finally accept me, while every one came to gather around me,I saw Rose leaving the class in anger.

I excused myself and went after her, I kept on calling her but she wouldn’t answer.

When we got to the school hall she finally stopped and turned to stare at me

“Why are you following me?”she asked

“I just want to talk to you?”I said softly

“About what? Are you here to laugh at me, that my plan was all in vain?”she yelled at me and the students who were passing by stared at us

“No,I didn’t come to laugh at you but instead I came to thank you”

“What?”

“If you hadn’t told every one my secret,I will still be living a lie,you have no idea how I relieved I feel right now, if you hadn’t done it I will still be pretending and I will still be living a lie, thanks Rose”I said

“Stop being a bitch and go away!”she said again

“Not until I make it clear to you , I love Max and we are dating each other, I tried to stay away Because you were in the chosen for him but not any more Rose”

“Why are you telling me this”

“To let you know that I won’t be giving him up to you or to any one else”I added and the students who had stopped to listen to our conversation gasped out loud.

“You really get on my nerves!”she said wanting to hit me but some one caught her hand.
