OUR CRAZY LOVE STORY

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
๐Ÿฆ‹SECOND ATTACK๐Ÿฆ‹
๐Ÿ’š Erica ๐Ÿ’š
The morning was bright, too bright for my mood, I could see different students dressed up and heading to school, it was a day I should be in school too.
” Erica, carry the tray of fish and go and hawk it right now ”
My mom commanded, she threw me a piece of clothe through the window, a tray of fish was already outside, I had no idea she placed it there for me
” but mom, hawking is prohibited and I’m supposed to be in school right now”
” and whose fault is it if you are not in school!!!!!!!, who told you to go and fight in school, this your three weeks suspension, you’re going to use every single minute of it to hawk!!!! ”
” but mom, you should have called the school, at least you should have called the principal to plead for me even though I know I’m not guilty, I don’t want to be hawking mama, I want to go back to school ”
I pleaded with tears but mom wasn’t listening to my pleas
My little sister gives me a sad look as she was going to school
” sister Erica, when dad comes back from his morning work , report mummy to hi….
” Juliet won’t you go to school before I descend on you there!!!! ”
Juliet hurries to school because she knows too well that my mom doesn’t make idle threats
” if you like don’t pick up the tray, continue looking at me like agama lizard, if you don’t hawk you’re not eating, you know how to fight right? , you have plenty energy right? , when you use that energy to hawk you will have sense ”
I figured out that there is no way I can get her to reason with me, I fold the piece of clothe and place it on my head, I pick up the tray and place it on my head with ease.
It had never occured to me that a day would come when I would start hawking, hawking is something I really hate, it is a kind of exposure that I don’t like at all.
I started walking , turning back to look at my mom, hoping she’ll call me back and tell me that she didn’t mean it.
Some awful girls in my area started laughing at me
๐Ÿ™ƒ wow! Teni come and see your neighbor, she has started hawking
๐Ÿ˜ฎ I thought she already started forming that she’s better than everyone in the area because she gained admission into a big school like that
๐Ÿ™ƒ she has been expelled oh
๐Ÿ˜ฎ ah, what did she do,?
๐Ÿ™ƒ what can Erica not do? , I heard that she insulted five of the teachers, beat up seven students, it’s when she insulted the principal that the school decided to expell her.
๐Ÿ˜ฎ really! ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ™†
I was enraged just by listening to this girls spewing trash about me, if not for the fact that I’m carrying a tray of fish on my head, I’d have made them regret thier words.
That’s the mode of operation in my area, they’ll rather make up their own version of the story rather than ask what really happened.
๐Ÿ’›Sasha๐Ÿ’›
Shanaya wrapped her hands around my neck, her long nails digs into my skin
“Shanaya please don’t hurt me!!!”
I scre-med
” Sasha Grey! Are you Ok!”
Our English teacher asks me
Am I imagining things!
It had felt real
I turn around to look at Shanaya but she isn’t even looking in my direction
I touch my neck and a sticky liquid fills my hand, I stared at my hand and to my horror it’s stained with my own blood.
I began to sweat!
What the hell is Shanaya doing to me!!
” Sasha Grey, are you sure you’re okay ‘
The English teacher asks again
I could only nod my head slowly
The students starts looking at me strangely
I try to write again but that strange handwriting appears again
” NOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE YOUR WORST
JUST ASK YOURSELF IF ITS REALLY WORTH IT ”
๐Ÿ’—Tori ๐Ÿ’—
I hate every minute of Erica’s suspension, the bullies at school had taken all my money and there was no one to help me
If Erica was there, she would have stood up for me.
I miss Erica!
I can’t stop thinking about how hurt she looked, she was looking at me like I was supposed to defend her.
But Dad told me she tried to steal from him.
What if dad had been lying.
I meet dad in the parlor when I entered the house, he was watching a football match
” good afternoon dad ”
He didn’t take his eyes off me, he stared at me and I feel that awkward tension again
” dad? ”
” uh Vicky! Welcome! ”
He said when he finally stops staring at me
I bit my lower lip worriedly, unsure of how to broach the topic
” um, dad the other day when you said that Erica stole from you, were you actually saying the truth or you were actually.. ”
His face flares up in anger
” Victoria! So you don’t believe me anymore!!”
” dad it’s not like that I’m sorry, it’s just that my friend has been suspended and I… I… I’m confused I don’t just know… who.. to believe ”
” Victoria can you now see that she is a bad girl, she must have done something to warrant it, in fact I’m going to come to your school to make a report about how she tried to steal from me ”
๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
” noooooooo! Daddy!!! Please don’t ”
Once a parent makes a bad report about a student, it is equivalent to a suspension, STATE HIGH is a school that doesn’t tolerate bad publicity about any of its students, that’s why most students are always well-behaved in front of other parents or guardians
I dont want Erica to be given another suspension
Another suspension would mean total expulsion from the school
” dad! Please don’t come to the school ”
” alright I won’t ”
I sighed in relief, can’t believe how scared I have gotten, dad would obviously not make a bad report about her
๐ŸŒฌWriter’s pov๐ŸŒฌ
But Robert Gates was definitely going to the school.
He was going to make sure that Erica stays miles away from his daughter
She was too spirited and she knows too much
His eyes settled on his daughter’s soft full l-ips, she was so naive and so innocent.
The only obstruction he has right now is her mother who is always at home
But it’s not like she is going to be at home forever.
Because one of this days he is going to have his sweet innocent daughter.
๐Ÿ’šErica ๐Ÿ’š
The sun beats harshly against my skin, I avoided the main road even though I know that the chances of coming into contact with any of my schoolmates are slim.
Why did I allow myself to trust Sasha!
I ask myself over and over again
But what I still don’t understand is why Sasha framed me.
I haven’t really made much sales and when someone signals to me from the main road, I forgot my earlier speculations and went to meet him.
I was lucky, the man actually buys three hundred naira fish from me.
I was about to turn back when I see a familiar Chevrolet car driving in my direction!
Oh no! I pray it’s not who I think it is
But it’s him!
The car stops a few metres away from me and he and his friends comes out of the car.
I wished the ground would open and swallow me, I stood rooted to a sโ‚ฑ0t, my tray of fish hanging shamefully on my head.
He is probably going to make fun of me
But all I see in his eyes is that same concern.
” oh my God! Erica! Who on earth asked you to be hawking, it doesn’t suit you at all, when I heard that you’ve been suspended, I was so worried sick ”
Viktor said and his friend Quinton started coughing uncontrollably
” Quinton! What’s that cough supposed to mean ” Viktor growls
” ah nothing! I em! I have little cough!! ”
He said awkwardly
” but seriously Erica! You shouldn’t be hawking ”
I was amazed when he decides to buy all my fish
” mom actually asked me to buy some fish on my way home, it was only luck that made me see you”
He said when he sees my apprehension
” uh are you sure ”
” yeah I am ”
I packed the fish into a polythene bag and give it to him, he actually paid more for it and asks me to keep the change.
I couldn’t stop beaming with smiles, wondering if I was rather too harsh in judging Viktor Peterson.
And I had no idea that someone out there was already planning a second attack, a second attack that’s going to ruin my entire life.
๐Ÿ’œViktor ๐Ÿ’œ
” Viktor seriously! I know I said you should date that girl to get Sasha Grey but you need to be careful, do you want people to see you with a poor girl that’s selling fish ”
Quinton said immediately we entered the car
Quinton is just telling me something I already know, that girl is beneath me.
” according to you guys plan, let’s even assume that your plan actually works and you date Erica, imagine that while dating this Erica , Sasha comes to meet you and asks you to date her, what’s going to happen next ”
Quentin asks
” of course I’m going to leave Erica ”
I said nonchalantly, I am so amazed that Quentin could be asking me such a foolish question
Quentin shakes his head sadly
” a person’s heart is not something you can play with Viktor, you need to see the way the girl was looking at you when you paid for the fish, she was looking at you like you were some kind of hero ”
It’s not only Hero ! It’s Super hero you’ll see ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„
” please ignore Quentin , he just wants to become a motivational speaker ”
Quinton snorted
I open the rear view window and throw the fish out
I hate the smell of that fish
” Viktor, people are really hungry out there, that fish would have added nutrients to someone’s lunch and you threw it out like that ”
