Mr. O'Donnell mansion was too big, that the noise from the teenage party never interrupted the main event. Soft music accompanied the guest as they all made merry to their heart content.

Mr. Emmanuel Percy, Andrews’s father, came on stage and gave a warm remarks to the O'Donnell family and then, invited Mr. and Mrs. O'Donnell to the stage.

Every one cheered as the couple strolled majestically towards Mr. Percy.

“Thank you, lovely families for all your support,” In the most refined tone, Mrs. O'donnell voiced “I thank God for making today a reality. I thank my sweet husband for seeing this through,” fixing her sweet smile on him. “You know, parties is never a man’s thing,” She teased
He laughed broadly, so did the people but he took not his gaze off her. Allowing his fingers to play with her chin.

“I’ll like to say a big thank you to you, Mrs. Julie Harrison, and your crew.” She raised her glass of champagne towards Julie and smiled. The party was indeed beautiful and Mrs. O'Donnell saw it necessary to show Julie her appreciation.

If only they know what is coming, I’m sure they would have stayed home, locked their doors and windows and hide with their children in the basement of their home. Sealing it with a protection spell.  Julie thought sadly.

Julie could feel eyes on her, she looked down on her ring and noticed a small red light blinking at the top of it.

“Talking about protection spell, this place is sealed!” She blurted, alarmed.

“You are a smart one, aren’t you?” Paul said beside her, wrapping one hand on her thin waist “When Bettriza Rise, he will be very hungry.” He whispered close to her ear and gave a wicked laugh.

Julie eyes widened, she had to do something but what could she do? She looked down on the bracelet on her wrist and interrupting her thought was this Paul sniffing her hair. Then he said, “Don’t worry Julie, we have big plans for you.”

Still oblivious of what the weather holds for them, the Cleavon high student went on with their agenda. “Your votes were cast and the results are in. Are we ready to see our winners!!?” The M.C. asked aloud, earning a  positive rumble from the crowd.

A lady came on stage, handing the M.C. a list. She took few step backwards and waited there as four gentlemen came up the stage, each carrying glass made awards, decorated with golden engravings.

“And the moment is here,” M.C. Talcy announced, stealing the attention of everyone.

“We have to go.” Impatiently, Emy jabbed Roe-Gab on the rib with her elbow, reminding him not to get comfortable.

“Relax.” He didn't even pretend to feel the pain rather, he placed his hands on her shoulder and massaged it  slowly “Someone has to take our award. Right?”

She exhaled slowly and smiled finding sense in his plain statement.

“Announcing the 2021 cleavon high most classy and expensive. Give it up for April and Jason!!!”

They came on stage and collected their awards. But April, being who she was, forcefully took the MIC and spoke provokingly.

The cheering collapsed as she went on ranting about how she alone deserve all the awards on the list. Jason had long left her side to his girlfriends' when the M.C. impulsively took the microphone from her. “Please people let’s appreciate them.” He said sourly.

“She’s the first one I’ll eat to night,” Emy said, following April with her eyes.

“I will personally serve you her soul on a crystal platter.” Promised, Roe-Gab.

They smiled horrifically and returned their attention to the party.

“Now listen, he may look mean and bad. But no one here has a better heart than he. He has led the Cleavon football team to many victories. He is not scared of expressing himself. He is respectful, God fearing, name it. He is the son to our beloved reverend Savior Gold. Please give it up for the 2021 cleavon high Mr.Macho. Keep clapping, keep clapping,” The M.C. motivated.“Join me in welcoming, Sylvester Gold to the stage.”

Their applause followed him as he collected his award and went back to his stand.

“Test and exams has proved it. In the entire school we have a couple with the most excellent IQ. I remember our last interschool mathematics and chemistry competition. These students brought home the trophy. You will agree with me that together their children will be geniuses.” As usual, he lightened the place with his humor. “Give it up for Cleavon high most intelligent couple, Andrew and Mary!”

Elegantly, Andrew led his bae by the hand to the stage. They received their awards and Andrew repeated his gentleman gesture as they returned.

“I Know, I know. I haven’t forgotten yet. Knowing who is going to represent Cleavon high. Give it up, give it up, and give it up for our 2021 Mr. and Miss. Cleavon high. Gabriel and Emy whooooo...” The M.C's loud cry ushered the exciting wail of the people and accompanying them  was the DJ's music.

Getting to the stage, they were worn the crown and also given their award.

The music played on as they got off the stage. Emy's voice met Roe-Gab's ear as she asked again, “Can we leave now?”

“Yes darling.” He replied.
