Chapter 22

I really enjoyed how interactive the comments in the last chapter was. Some are confused and conflicted, some have theories about the entire situation with Jamal and Khalil. Let's keep this going because I really enjoy seeing things from the reader POV.

Like I said, things will get even more heated from here on now.

Let's dive in.

⁂𝕁𝔸𝕄𝔸𝕃⁂

I got back to school two periods before closing time. My mood has totally been ruined by what went down in Faizal's office. I was still very shocked at the turn of events, how Faizal basically turned around, saying what happened five years ago was a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding my butt. I scoffed, making my way up the stairs to go to my class.

How can Faizal see Khalil has the victim after all these years, for God's sake? Khalil was nothing close to being a victim. He was a manipulative asshat that jad had everything handed downto him. Well, not anymore because I am done taking his shot load of crap.

It's long overdue anyway.

I got the front of my class room, only to meet it rowdy and disorganized. I rolled my eyes and turned around, retreating my steps. There is definitely no way I am spending my time in that class when all I need right now is the peace and quiet.

"Hey," Somadina's voice came from behind and I turned around to face him. He was just coming out of his class so he must have seen me or something.

"I haven't seen you all day." He stated and I nodded.

"Emergency therapy session. I had to go see Faizal." I replied with a shrug and he nodded in understanding.

"How did it turn out?" He asked again and I grimaced, recapping everything that had happened.

"Honestly, not so well." I answered and he made a sound whilst shoving his hand into his pocket. He seemed to have understood how I didn't want to talk about it because he didn't ask me any further questions.

"Well, the principal is calling me for only God knows what."  He said and I chuckled at the tortured expression on his face.

"I get, duty calls." I teased him and he scoffed.

"My very own worst nightmare." He rolled his eyes, walking closer to where I was standing. "Where are you going?" He asked me and I paused, trying to think of where I was actually going to go after leaving class.

"Probably the art studio. I need to clear my head, peace and quiet and I'd definitely not find it in that market place called a class." I nodded towards the class and he laughed.

"I hear you. Vanessa is helping Mr Ayoola invigilate the lower class." He said and I nodded on realization. Mid semester test started on Monday and will be going on throughout the week.

"Mateo and Skye are God knows where, doing God knows what..." He raised his eyebrow at me, a playful smirk playing on his lips. I could see what he did there and I groaned.

"Please don't make me start imagining the "nasty" going on between my twin sister and my best friend. I will puke my guts out." I stated, my face scrunched up in disgust.

"Abeggi. As if you don't do worse with Elyon." He teased and I laughed, shaking my head. Why do these guys think Elyon and I have done somethings?

Speaking of Elyon...

"Speaking of Elyon. Have you seen her?" I asked him. Somadina shook his head.
