💋Episode 12💋
Cassandra’s Pov:
I stared at Gracie in shock…. 😳😳
Did she just talk back at me? 🙄
I exchanged glances with my friends as I snatched my hand from her grip.
“How dare you Gracie?” I yelled at her.
“Oh please Cassandra stop blaming your misery on people! You should be sorry for the wrong you’ve done” Gracie said
“You know what? We will teach you a lesson that you will never forget in a hurry Gracie Montes” Joann said
“Tell that to the birds…. Am sick and tired of being played with by you guys” She said
I fumed in anger.
I can’t wait to get rid of this trash.
“You’ve really grown wings Gracie…. I see!” Lucy said
“I think you guys are the ones that have grown wings… Gracie and I have done absolutely nothing wrong to all of you so stay away from us” Mona said
“Just pray that Jake doesn’t get punished for this stupid risk he decided to take for you” I said as I eyed my friends.
We walked away.
🚶 🚶
I sat heavily on the chair in annoyance.
That girl…. How dare her?
Can you imagine the way she spoke to me and my friends earlier?
For crying out loud, she’s nothing but a low class.
And no-one has ever talked to me in that manner.
I mean no-one in school dares talk to me like that.
I can’t let that girl go scold free else other students might start disrespecting me.
“My gosh girl! That girl Gracie have grown wings” Lucy sneered
“Can you imagine how she spoke to us? She seems so bold” Kiara said
“I can’t wait to put that girl in her place….” Joann said angrily
“The nerve of that bitch…. Did you see how she eyed us… How she spoke to us? For every word she said, she will pay dearly for it” I said with anger.
“I support you Cassie! She can’t go scold free this time” my friends echoed.
We high five and smiled mischievously.
Jake’s Pov:
I drove into our mansion and parked my car at the garage as I got down from the car.
I carried my backpack and walked into the house.
The mansion was so quiet
I guess my mom and her “SO STRICT” husband are away.
And Anita my only sibling and sister doesn’t stay with us.
She attends a boarding school out of town.
She happens to be Dad’s favorite!
Unlike me….
I was about to walk upstairs when someone interrupted me.
“Jakey! You’re back early…” That was mom’s voice.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness… It wasn’t dad!
“Hi mom…” I said with a frowned face.
“Jake what happened?” Mom asked
“It’s a long story mom! I’d rather not talk about it right now… Maybe later” I said tiredly
“Jake! Son are you sure you’ll be OK?” Mom asked again
“You do not have to worry mom! Am perfectly fine” I said
“Why are you home so early too mom?” I asked
“Oh! I just came to pick up a file… I was just on my way out when I saw you” Mom said
“Alright mom! See ya!” I said sharply.
I turned to go upstairs when suddenly mom’s cell phone rang aloud.
My heart skipped a beat.
Mom picked up the phone.
📱 Oh… Hello babe…. Mom said as I gulped nervously.
Mom stared at me in surprise as she shook her head still on the phone.
Oh good heavens…… I breathed heavily.
📱What? Please calm down babe… You know…. Mom said but the phone hung up.
Mom stood in akimbo shooting me a deadly glare.
I bowed my head in disappointment.
“How could you do that Jake?” Mom scre-med at me.
I blinked hærd to stop myself from crying.
“Do what mom?” I said
“You stole an answer script from the teacher’s office just because you want someone to pass exams” Mom said annoyed
“Am sorry mom!” I said coldly
“You’re so dead Jake cos that was your dad, the school’s principal just informed him” Mom said.
I quickly rushed upstairs.
***
It was getting dark already.
I lay on my bed quietly.
Dad will be back anytime soon…
My phone rang aloud.
It was my friend Mico.
I know he’s just gonna blame me for what I did.
Honestly, I don’t regret what I did for Gracie.
Am very ready to bear the consequences of my actions.
I was still lost in thought when I heard Dad’s bold voice ranting angrily.
“Where is that good for nothing son of mine? Jake! Jake!!” Dad yelled
I was about to get up when my door was swing open.
“Good evening dad” I said
“Shut your gutters! What’s good about the evening?” Dad shouted
“You idiot! So you have sworn to drag the family’s legacy on the mud? You stupid fool.. How dare you?” Dad scre-med
“Am sorry dad!” I said
“Sorry for yourself… ” Dad shouted as he landed a resounding slap on my cheeks.
I wiped my tears off immediately.
Cassandra’s Pov:
It was on a Saturday morning.
The God damn driver drove me out of the house.
We drove into the Humphrey’s mansion.
I know that Jake must be out with his friends.
I walked into the house.
Of course they are our family friends so am very free to come anytime I want.
“Aunt Veronica! Auntie Vero!!” i called out.
“Oh who is it? Aww baby Cassie!” She called and hugged me tightly.
We exchanged pleasantries.
She was at the dinning eating breakfast.
So I joined.
I applied the butter on the bread.
“It’s been long since you visited baby Cassie” She said
“Am sorry auntie! I’ve been busy lately” I said
“To busy to visit your dear auntie Vero” She said as I smiled.
“Of course not auntie” We shared a laugh.
“Uhmm.. You heard what Jake did right? The answer script he stole” She said
“He stole? He didn’t do anything of that sort…” I said
“How do you mean?” Aunt Veronica asked
“He’s only covering up for someone” I said
“WHAT?” Aunt Veronica shouted….
😢😢
Cassandra… 😈😈
Who else is angry right now? 🙁

💋Episode 13💋
Jake’s Pov:
I walked into the house with my football on my left arm.
I was putting on a red jersey and shorts with boots. 👢
“Jake? Wait….” That was mom’s voice coming from the dinning.
Her voice was so cold.
“Oh hi mom… Good evening” I said as I walked towards her to peck her but she pushed me away.
“How dare you Jake?” Mom yelled at me as she landed a dirty slap on cheeks.
I stared at her in surprise.
“Mom what’s happening…” I managed to say.
“You’re so unbelievable Jake! My goodness! How could you admit you did something you didn’t do” Mom said in annoyance.
I breathed heavily.
“What are you talking about mom?” I rolled my eyes pretending not to understand.
“Oh please Jake! Spare me that creepy attitude of yours right now… It was Gracie Montes right? She’s the godforsaken girl you dragged our family’s legacy on the mud for?” Mom said as I became very surprised.
How the hell did she find out about Gracie?
What really happened?
I scratched my head in confusion.
“I don’t understand you mom!” I blurted out
“Oh yes… You won’t understand! But you admitted to that cheat’s crime just to save her reputation thereby risking yours” mom fumed in anger.
“Mom! Who told you about Gracie?” I asked anxiously
Mom grinned as she clapped her hands in a gossip manner.
“You think I won’t find out! Well you are mistaken Jake… Cassandra told me everything!” Mom scre-med.
Cassandra? 🙄
I knew it!
That desperate bitch……
“Jake I can’t believe you are this foolish! Your dad slapped you, shouted at you and said very mean words to you just because of that girl and a crime you never committed” Mom said
“Mom she didn’t do it as well” I defended
“And how are you so sure that she didn’t?” Mom scoffed
“I think you should ask your announcement minster Cassandra…” I said
“Huh? What has Cassandra got to do with your craziness?” Mom yelled
“If you must know mom! It was Cassandra who stole the answer script from the teacher’s office just because she hates Gracie” I said
Mom stared at me in confusion.
“Cassandra?” Mom asked
“You heard me mom! Your righteous Cassandra” I said
“And so what Jake? Cassandra hates her because she’s of the low class and I think you should do the same…” Mom said
“Hell no! Mom Gracie has been of help to my studies lately… So this is just like a payback favour” I said
“Shut your gob Jake! What payback favour? You saved her ass from being expelled and now you are on suspension” Mom said
“Mom I’d rather not talk about this” I said as I turned to leave.
“You are nothing but a coward son” Dad’s bold voice almost swept me off my foot.
I quickly turned around.
I gulped nervously.
So he overheard the conversation…..
I kept mute as I backed.
We’ve always been like this ever since!
He seems to prefer and choose Anita over me all the time.
Sometimes I wonder if he’s truly my father.
“Chris… Welcome love” Mom said as he pecked her.
“I’ll be upstairs mom!” I said as I tried stepping an inch.
He quickly held my wrist tight.
“Jake Humphrey? So you ruined in my image because of a mere poor girl?” Dad said
I became very angry.
“Dad please… I’ve had it up to here and I can’t bear it any further! If you would excuse me, I would like to go to my room” I said
My gosh!
I can’t believe I just spoke back to my father.
He quickly let go of my wrist and I rushed upstairs.
That Cassandra!
I will teach her how to bridle her tongue.
Mrs Veronica Humphrey’s Pov:
We watched Jake rush upstairs.
I quickly turned to my husband Mr Christopher Humphrey.
“Chris when are you ever going to stop yelling at the boy?” I asked as I backed him.
“Honey! That boy brings nothing but trouble for me and for my legacy” He said
“Oh please… That happened ten years ago, why can’t you erase that from your head! Christopher he was only a child then” I said
“Vero he almost ruined in my life” He said
“But he’s still your son Chris… Your flesh and blood” I defended
“He just behaves like a coward! He admitted to a crime he never committed just because of a slum stinky girl?” He clenched his fist.
“That’s enough! Just go freshen up darling… Dinner will be served in a while” I said as he k-ssed my neck.
He walked upstairs majestically.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
As I walked back to the kitchen.
Gracie’s Pov:
I poured out the fishes in the basket on the leaves spread on the ground.
The sun was shining and it was really hot.
Sweats rushed down my face and body as I continued pouring the fishes out.
“Hey! Lazy ass if you don’t dry those fishes and sell all today then no food for you” Mother’s coarse voice echoed.
I only rolled my eyes.
“Hey Gracie! You’ve been really scarce these days” Naomi the neighbors daughter asked as she helped me with the basket.
“Oh Naomi! I’ve been busy with school lately” I smiled
“Wow! You’re lucky Gracie.. You got a scholarsh¡p to attend a big school like St Paul high school” Naomi said as we shared a laugh.
We were still chatting when a flashy car drove into the compound.
We became visibly scared as mother rushed out of the kitchen.
The car’s door opened and to my greatest surprise, Cassandra got down from the car with her friend Lucy.
My eyes popped out in shock.
“Cassie? Cassandra Salvador?” I called out in astonishment.
“Salvador?” Mother muttered to my hearing.
Why is she behaving like she knows her?
Mother stared at her so lost and in admiration.
Cassandra looked around in disgust.
“You are not only a pauper but also a pig” Cassandra scoffed.
My other siblings rushed out too.
I gulped hærd.
“This is nothing but a hell h0le called a house…” Lucy added
“I feel like am being feasted on by mosquitoes….Gross! you are nothing but a piece of trash from the garbage can!” She said rudely
“That’s enough Cassandra! you have no right whatsoever to insult me in my very own….” I said as a dirty slap landed on my face.
Tears gradually dropped down my face.
Mother slapped me…..
😶😶😶
To be continued….
Like mother like daughter 🚶
Imagine the insult right in front of Cassandra… 😢😢
