Gracie’s Pov:
“Bestie!!!!!….” Mona screamed in excitement as she rushed to me.
My face beamed with smiles.
“Oh Mona! I was about calling you” I said as Mona laughed.
“You look absolutely gorgeous friend” Mona eyed me.
“Thank you Mona!” I smiled.
Some students waved at me in excitement.
I smiled at them warmly as I waved too.
“Wow! You’re now a celebrity girlfriend” Mona whispered as we shared a laugh
“Of course my date is looking so charming tonight” Jake added as I blushed.
“Oh please guys… Stop pulling my leg” I said as we walked in.
G©sh…
All eyes were on me.
“Hi Gracie! You have such a lovely gown” Many of the students kept complimenting.
I got tired of saying thank you.
The party started.
Everyone was adorning me.
“Cheers….” We clinked our glasses together ?
I sipped the wine happily.
For the first time in my life, I felt regarded.
Jake kept stealing glances at me.
Silly guy ?
Cassandra’s Pov:
I fumed in anger as I watched that stupid girl smile as the students compliment her.
I gulped the remnant of my wine in anger giving her a deadly glare from the dark corner.
I will make sure you will be so gone by the time am done with you.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone clear her throat.
I turned around.
No-one else but my second devl ?
I breathed heavily as she sat on the stool beside me.
The music playing was so loud but I could hear her though.
“What do you want Amelia?” I said sternly
“Oh poor you! Are you staring at the one that defeated you?” She mocked
“I will appreciate it more Amelia if you get lost” I said backing her.
“You know Cassandra I really feel sorry for you…cos you’re totally helpless” She smirked
“Shut up Amelia!” I yelled at her.
“Whatever! You can never gain that which you lost cos you are nothing but a thief…. You were the real one who stole from Gracie” She said as she got up from the stool.
I gnash my teeth in so much annoyance.
She only click her tongue loudly.
“I hate you Amelia!” I groaned
“Oh darling I hate you more” She smirked and walked away.
I folded my palms in anger.
This is all Gracie’s fault.
That gown she’s wearing is supposed to be mine…..
The shoes should be mine….
I should be the one sitting and holding hands with Jake….
Well all this will end tonight.
I refilled my glass with wine and sipped slowly.
I brought out a cell phone from my handbag and smiled.
This will do the magic ?
I smirked wickedly.
Am sure you’re eager to know my plans right?
Take a chill pill guys…. ?
Mona’s Pov:
I searched carefully in my handbag.
I groaned in anger.
Where is it?
“Dmn!” I yelled as I kept searching.
Gracie walked towards me holding her gown.
Actually she was dancing on stage with Jake.
“Mona what is it?” She asked anxiously
“Actually am looking for my….” I tried saying but Jake walked in.
“Gracie come on! Let’s go get some ice cream from the other counter…. I feel hot” Jake said
“Me too… I really need to cool off” Gracie said
“Let’s go then!” Jake said
“Come on Mona! Come with us” Gracie said
“Oh no guys go on…. I’ll be there in a jiffy” I said as she nodded and walked away with Jake.
Goodness! Where could I have left my phone?
I was holding it earlier but now it’s gone!
I sneered.
I have to keep searching.
Gracie’s Pov:
Jake and I stood in front of the ice cream section waiting impatiently.
There was a queue.
But he managed to go straight to the counter and I waited.
“Three plates of vanilla ice cream miss” Jake ordered.
I scratched my head.
Just then, my cell phone beeped….
It was a text message!
And it’s from Mona.
But why is she texting me?
I quickly opened the message.
? Gracie please meet me at the pool side… I have something important to tell you ? I read aloud.
Pool side?
But that’s away from the party venue?
I breathed heavily.
Who knows what she really wants to tell me?
Is she in trouble or something?
I shrugged it off.
“Jake give me a second… I’ll be back” I said as he nodded.
I walked out of the party venue.
? ?
The place was so cool and it looked lonely.
Very lonely and isolated!
Though there were light but no-one was there.
I looked around in fear.
“Mona? Mona?” I called as I got to the pool side.
But I got no response.
“Where could she be?” I asked no-one in particular.
“Mona? Mo…..” I tried to call but suddenly someone held me by my throat from behind.
I choked and coughed.
The person pushed me…..
“Ahhhhhhhhhh……!!” I screamed as I fell ?
Mona’s Pov:
“Ohh… Here it is” I said as I picked my phone from the table.
But how did it get here?
Whatever! thank goodness I found it.
Immediately, Jake rushed to me.
“Hey! Jake what is it?” I asked anxiously.
“Have you seen Gracie?” He asked anxiously.
I shook my head in surprise
“She was with you right?” I said
“Yes but she left when I was ordering for ice cream?” He said
“What? Try calling her phone” I suggested
“You think I haven’t done that? For the past thirty minutes I’ve been doing that but it’s switched off” He said
“That’s strange! Gracie doesn’t switch her phone off” I said.
We started searching for her everywhere.
But no success!
Some of the students joined in the search.
“Why don’t you search by the pool Mona let me go over to the guest house side” Jake said and I nodded.
I walked towards the poolside.
“Gracie? Gracie??” I called loudly.
Just then, I stepped on something.
I picked it up without hesitation.
My eyes widened in shock.
“Isn’t this Gracie’s earring?” I asked myself.
I was sure it is…
I kept calling her.
Just then, my eyes caught with something.
My eyes popped out in shock.
That’s Gracie floating on the pool….
“Oh my g©sh! Gracie!!” I shouted loudly as my jaw dropped…..
