🌼CHAPTER 16🌼
🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
I cleaned myself up and wore the uniform given to me by Tessa. “Thanks for this” I said admiring the uniform fitness on me as we both walked to the laundry.

You’re welcome dear, I’m just too excited she ate some portion out of her cake. Just take a look at the silly comments people are giving, it’s just too funny.

I love the caption the person that uploaded it wrote on it. It really got people’s attention… She replied with her attention on the phone as she was busy scrolling down the page and laughing at the same time.

I know more trouble awaits me, let me just hope for the best… I said

Go ahead, I’ll come join you soon. I wanna study with you today, I also want to be a genius like you… She said when we finished our work in the laundry room.

“Alright! I’ll be expecting you” I replied.

I can see you’re having fun at school without bothering to ask for your new friend’s whereabouts.. I heard a voice say and recognised it immediately to be Kendrick’s.

Kendrick!!! I called in excitement as I look up and saw him standing before me with a bright smile on his face.

Yeah! It’s me, what’s up with you, how have you been… He said and sat beside me.

Where on earth have you been, you’ve missed a lot of lectures. Is this how you disappear from school and re appear anytime and anyhow you like? I asked and he shrugged.

I didn’t leave school without a good reason. I had some business to do so I had to leave school for a while. Did you miss me? He asked with I wink

Of course I didn’t! Why would I? It’s just that I felt we didn’t conclude our discussion last time, so I had to look for you so I could apologize for running off like that… I replied

It’s okay, I’m back now though. And would you like to put me back on the track, I mean help me cover up for the things I’ve missed… He said

I’d have love to, but you know I’m busy right now. We have few days left for the competition, so I’ve been really busy preparing for it.

No problem, are you by any chance looking for this? He asked showing me the phone I’ve been looking for.

OMG!!! yes, I have. I’ve been looking for it, wait! Did I try drop this while running the other day? I asked and he nodded.

OMG!!! you’re such a darling! Thanks for helping me find it and keeping it safe… I said and snatched it from him

I can see you went to open a bank account because you account number has been sent to you. I’m sorry for reading your message though.

Wow! It’s what I’ve been worried about, that’s the main reason why I bought the phone and the sim. I’m glad you helped me find it. Thank you so much, so what did you bring for me? At least you should’ve brought something along for your new friend.. I said jokingly

Of course that’s it, I brought back your phone isn’t it? He replied jokingly as well.

C’mon, that’s not what I mean and what I want, I need something else… I said

Alright! Let’s hand out when you’re through with your competition, or would you like to come visit me at my house? I’ve never taken someone other than my business partners to my place so I want you to be the first friend that’d visit my place…He said

That’d be hærd for me to do, you know my condition… I said

No problem! Imma get you something some other time, so let’s study together… He said and took one of my books from my lap.

🌞Days Later🌞
Don’t delay us tomorrow like you did the last time, make sure you avoid any trouble with your boss… Carlos said in a warning tone as we left the school premises after our coaching.

I ignored him and went to take a cab home.

I was given free time for myself so I’d be able to study ahead of tomorrow which is the competition day by Ashley’s mom.

I smiled as I read the encouraging message sent by Kendrick. He asked to video call me but I declined so I wouldn’t bring any query upon myself.

I couldn’t sleep a wink throughout the night as I was busy with Kendrick who was giving me some tutorials to ensure I become fully prepared.

It was 4:30am, I was working on the equation he gave me to solve when I suddenly started feeling pains in my stomach.

Ouch! I cried and ran to the toilet to defecate.

I returned to the room and continued working on it when my stomach started rumbling again and it was intense this time.

What’s wrong with you? Kendrick asked worriedly.

I don’t know, my stomach is hurting really bad… I cried and run to the toilet

What did you eat? He asked

Noodlessssss… I replied emphasizing on the S as I cried

You’re definitely suffering form food poisoning, I hope Ashley didn’t do anything to your food?

I don’t know… I scre-med and started vomiting afterward as sweat covered me instantly

It continued like that till morning.
I tried so hærd to dress up for school but I couldn’t go out of the room.

I’m dying, I’m feeling really weak… I said to Kendrick on the phone.

“Just chill okay, you’re gonna be late for the competition, i’m coming over to your house immediately”. He said and hung up.

You won’t make it to the competition, I promise… Ashley said as she walked into my room

🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
“Ashley what have you done to meeee” I scre-med as I kept on yelping in pain.

I wouldn’t wanna stay long in your room and in the house, so no one would suspect me, but I’m sure you won’t make it to that competition… She said

I’m sure you’re gonna die here, because mom and Rolland left home very early in the morning, so there won’t be anyone to come save you. Have a safe journey to heaven, I’m off for school, bye… She said and slammed the door

Just then, I heard a loud bang. OMG! I’m glad Kendrick arrived just in time. I’m sure he’ll definitely deal with her in my behalf… I thought and rolled in pain on he floor.

Aaaaaargh! I heard her scre-m and i knew immediately he hit her head on the wall due to the sound I heard.

Stephanie!!! He called as he ran to the room with the school principal. What’s wrong with you? The principal asked but I couldn’t reply him

Kendrick carried me up and o was rushed to the Hospital immediately with the school bus.

I was given some medications and I felt a bit relieved. I was told to rest for 30minutes and I did exactly just that.

“She’s awake” I heard Kendrick say as I opened my eyes. “You can leave with her now, but she must return for her complete medication once the competition is over” the doctor said and I was led out if the room immediately.

I got to the school bus and met Carlos staring at me disgustedly. “I’m coming with you” Kendrick said and entered the bus without wasting time.

Our school was penalised for being 10minutes late for the competition but the principal was pleased with it since we weren’t disqualified.

Though I wasn’t really strong medically, but I was able to answer the questions given to us and with that, our school ranked the second position this time.

You’re such a strong lady, I’m glad you could fight for the school. We’re now moving to the final stage of the competition, and if we could win this time, our school will benefit a lot and your name shall forever be in the school record book.

Let’s head back to the hospital, you won’t be staying at that house if yours when the competition date becomes less than a week. There’s always a hindrance for you, we’ll sort that out… The principal said as we got back to our school bus.

Congratulations sir, I can see you’ve really trained your students. They’ve improve a lot, kudos to you… The chairman of the org-nization said to the principal as he was about joining us in the bus.

“Thanks for coming for me” I said to Kendrick. “You’re welcome” he replied perfunctorily.

What’s wrong with you, you look so lost in thought, what are you thinking about? I asked

“Nothing, congratulations on making it to the finals” he said and put on his headphone.

Congratulations dearies, I’m proud of you two. Thanks for helping our school make it to the finals… The school owner’s son said as we alighted of the bus.

“You’re welcome sir” Carlos and I said in unison

Let’s head to my office, I need to celebrate with you two. We’ll have an elaborate one if we win the final competition… He said and we followed behind.

“Let’s go to your house together, I need to have some word with Ashley, she must tell me why she did that to you”… Kendrick texted me, I look up immediately after reading the message to see if he’s in the classroom but he isn’t.

“That wouldn’t be necessary. I’m totally fine now, Coming over to our place will just cause more trouble for me” I replied and left the classroom

The driver didn’t come since Ashley didn’t come to school, I’ll have no choice than to go take a cab…

“Good afternoon ma” I greeted Ashley’s mum as I got to the sitting room.

Afternoon dear, welcome back. I didn’t get to see you in the morning, how was the competition? She asked

“It was awesome, we made it to the finals” I replied

That’s good I’m proud of you… She said and gestured me to come for a hug.

Thanks ma’am, but where is Ashley and Rolland? I asked

Oh! They’re in Roland’s room, Ashley has a swell on her head and it’s giving her headache. So her brother is watching over her in his room… She said

That must be the result of the hit she received from Kendrick in the morning… I thought

Alright! I’ll go check on her… I said and left the sitting room.

🌞Days Later🌞
“Are you almost through with the cooking? My friends are almost here” Roland asked as he entered the kitchen.

Yeah I’m almost through, I just need the water to dry up. I’ll dish it out once it’s ready… I replied

Alright! Thanks a lot, you’re one in a million. I need to go wait for them at the junction I’ll be right back, but make sure it’s all ready before I return with them… He said

“It’s gonna be ready before then, I’m assuring you” I replied smiling. “If only Ashley could be this kindhearted too” I said to myself as I watched him exit the kitchen.

Wow! Ken, you sure have a great chef. This meal is delicious and sumptuous… One of his friends commented as they all ate their food.

You can say that again, Stephanie is indeed a great one you know, she could establish a catering business if she wishs.. Kendrick replied, just then Ashley scre-med and held her tummy.

What’s wrong with you? They all asked, but she ran out if the dinning room immediately, while Kendrick followed.

I followed them too only to find her crying on the toilet. Kendrick opened the toilet door, not minding the fact that she’d be half unclad.

What’s going on here, I heard my daughter scre-m… Her mum asked as she rushed in.

Mom! My tummy, it’s hurting me badly, I can’t seem to stop purging… She said

What happened, why the sudden pain? She asked. Stephanie, go get me the herb in my room. It should work for sometime before we get you to the hospital.

No! Don’t send her, she poisoned my food. Stephanie poisoned my food!!! She shouted and I shifted back.

What!!! Did you truly poisoned my daughter’s food? She asked as she moved closer to me.

“Hang in there, I’ll be right back” Roland said and left the room.

Answer the damn question!!!! She thundered and I flinched.

TBC…

Did she truly poisoned the food to get back at her, or it’s one of Ashley’s trick to hurt her?🤔
