EPISODE 14
? JENNIFER ?
I had glanced through Valerie’s bluish room one day after school.
She was in the room with me , while Nanny Jade was downstairs with Jeff.
I don’t know why she chose blue as a color. She neglected the cute color pink ?
Her bedspread,her walls,her carpet , her furniture and every single thing you can think a girl own is blue .
“Why do you like blue so much? I said glancing around as I found a blue bean bag with polka dots on its body at the corner of the room as I sat on it.
It almost swallowed me up.
A flower vase sat on the pavement of her window too.
Guess what? It has blue petals too.
“Gosh! Valerie,you won’t cease to amaze me. Your flower is also blue?? Can’t you get a pink or red flower? Like a rose? Or anything apart from this lame blue”.
I said smacking my forehead as she laughed.
“Humm, I love flowers actually, no matter which color they portray , they remain beautiful like you”.
Is she trying to flatter me or what
“Besides I really don’t choose colors like you do, and that makes me unique”. She giggled focusing on what she was doing.
“Shut it dumb brain, pink is actually for cute girls”. I argued
“Ohh you mean I ain’t cute? Right? She narrowed her eyebrows
“Nope,you said that yourself”. I giggled surrending my hands up.
“Blue seems so lonely and deserted . Girls seem to choose Pink over it so I felt like a blue color. I’m always rejected no matter what, and that makes me love blue color the more”.
She explained.
“Hmmm, nice story,but you know you’re actually special to me?I love and chose you as my blood sister The past friends I had aren’t as cool as you are. They can be bossy and boring.
They might look so cool but trust me,they made me their puppets. They use me as baits to get what they want. I made up my mind to focus on my social media life where I’m loved”.
I said too.
“Wow! Interesting”. She said typing on her laptop.
We heard a knock on her door. It was Jeffery .
“Girls,you want some cake? Jeff said knocking on the door.
“Cake? We both looked at each other eyes widened.
“Yesssssss….!!!! We chorused.
Jeffery gave us the cake as we continued our discussion.
“That reminds me,my 16th birthday is in 3 days time”. She smiled.
“Awwwwn, so are we throwing a sweet sixteen birthday party? I asked.
“No, that’s even if that day is fun”
“Come on,it’s gonna be fun”. I cooed.
Don’t blame me , I love birthdays a lot .
“For the last sixteen years of my life, birthdays have been boring to me,I hate them. It makes me remember the day I was brought into this world that rejected me”.
She said silently.
“What if we make a difference? I said
“Difference? She repeated and nodded negatively.
I made up my mind to make a difference that day. I took to my page and wrote about the birthday party inviting all our school friends including the FOUR so they can perform.
And 50 percent of our class turned up .
Actually,the FOUR never knew they’ll be performing. Jennifer had to beg before they agreed.

? VALERIE ?
“Happy Birthday Valerie”. He said.
Cold shivers ran down my spine. His voice echoed in my ears.
His eyes glistened as the light shine in his lens .
He wore a green jean jacket and blue jeans trousers, he didn’t button his jean jacket a white T-shirt peeped at the corner of his neck too. He wore white sneakers to match too .
Harris Grayson is in my fucking house with his band!!!!!…!!!!!….!!!!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!!!
I screamed within me .
I wanted the ground to swallow me up at that moment.
“Th.. thank you”. I said shyly, rubbing the back of my neck .
Two of his friends came closer and wished me happy birthday too .
Where’s the last one? I wondered, this sweet fragrance filled my nostrils , then he showed up like a prince charming.
His hair was perfectly curled,it covered one of his eyes making him look so cute. He wore a vintage shirt too and skinny jeans that was ripped on the knee.
Oh my gosh ?
“Happy Birthday”. He said.
He presented me with a flower. It’s a rose flower. It smelt so nice that I wanna eat them up.
How did he know I love flowers?
“Thanks’. I smiled and collected it.
“Nice apartment”. He said again
Is he trying to start a conversation with me or something.
I blushed.
I was deep in thought when Jenny brought my attention back by pinching me
“Oucccchhh”. I whispered.
“He’s talking to you dumb head”.
“Uhmm,thanks Drake”. I said and he smiled.
He has this beautiful smile which made him different from Harris .
“We’ll talk later”. He left my presence.
“You know about this right? I frowned happily at Jennifer.
“Maybe…kind of..I don’t know”. She stuttered as I hugged her.
“Thanks this is the best birthday ever”. I said tearfully.
“Hmmm, Autumn is here”. Jennifer withdrew from my hug as we both faced Autumn and her two puppets.
“So this is the venue where my baby is gonna be playing? She scoffed walking majestically.
“Autumn, please,I want no trouble, you’re not invited here leave this instant with your stupid puppets”. Jenny said.
The two puppets made attempt to beat Jennifer as they were stopped by Autumn.
Could this birthday be any worse?
“Happy Birthday Valerie”. She moved closer to me and handed me a parcel.
I hesitated .
I don’t trust that girl at all after what happened at school the other day.
“Come on,take it..I’m not that bad..it’s not like there’s a bomb in it? You can actually open it here if you want darling” .
“Are you sure there’s no skeleton in your cupboard, Autumn Dallas”. Jennifer said.
Autumn just gave her a slight grin.
I collected it appreciatively.
It seems kinda light when I collected it from her.
“Enjoy your stay , Autumn”.
“I hope I enjoy this weird and cheap party…you should have come to me so I’ll show you the real way to handle a party. Giving it to this pink dumb girl is just a waste.. anyways,it’s none of my business,I’m here because of Harris Grayson and nothing else”.
She walked away after giving me an eviI smile.
“Did she just call me a pink dumb girl? Jennifer scoffed trying to run after her as I held her hand.
“It’s not worth it”. I smiled.
“Now, let’s give the celebrant a round of applause as she comes towards the stage to dance”.
Our living room was beautifully decorated by Aunt Tonia,the twins Mom .
Food,drinks and all other things were prepared by Nanny Jade.
I never knew I was loved . For the first time,I felt loved in my life .
The band stood on the little stage arranged for them as they sang a happy birthday song for me .
I couldn’t help but smile.
The girls kept screaming Harris name when he dropped the mic .
Autumn went over and assisted him to get down from the stage as she pressed a kss on his lips.
Cheap brat!

_____AFTER THE PARTY_____
“Aunt Tonia, thanks a lot, I can’t really thank you enough,this surprise means a lot to me”. I hugged her tight as she rubbed my upper back.
Tears flowed from my eyes freely .
“We’ll take our leave now, we’re heading somewhere tomorrow so we need to sleep as early as possible”. She said.
She sounded so worried. I looked at Jeff and Jenny too,they seemed worried too.
I just hope all is okay.
“Jeffery,you deserve a kss for all the music beats you gave me “. I moved closer to him as I pecked him .
“Awwwwwwwn” . They all said clapping.
“Ewwwwww”. He cleaned his cheeks.
“When will you admit to Valerie twinnie”. Jennifer said raising her eyebrows.
“Whatever”.
“Don’t clean my precious kss, it’s hard to get”. I smacked my lips together as he blushed.
“Bestie, the sister I never had, thanks for everything. This wouldn’t have happened without you-“.
I said when someone interrupted.
“Without her? Have you forgotten,I’m in charge of all the drinks and food? ” . Nanny sulked
I faced her and hugged them both
“I love you guys”.
“That reminds me, Your Mom kept a cake for you, Valerie”. Nanny Jade said.
“Cake? My eyes widened.
So it was not a dream!!!!
