The original video

"KC be honest with me. What happened? Who kidnapped my Kemi because I don't believe the person I saw." I said, strolling to KC.

I had stopped crying at the back of the school and I still didn't believe anything.

Even if the whole class were against me, I wouldn't care because my best friend would be by my side the whole time.

"Me neither but I believe it has something to do with Rosemary" She told me.

"Yeah, but how did everyone know about the video all of a sudden?" I asked.

"Well, you know, you came a little later than everyone else so a lot happened. Rosemary barged into the class and walked around showing of her phone, then she started saying you and Daniel kissed. That's when Kemi walked out and began to tell to shut up. He told her to mind what she says and that's when she showed us..the video."

She paused for a moment, looking at me and I nodded for her to continue.

"Kemi got really really angry, he grabbed her phone and almost threw it on the floor that's what gained our attention and those who cared, got the phone out of his reach".

"So you can say Kemi's a pretty good friend". She told me.

"I know that, but if he did all that why did he act totally different towards me?" I asked in confusion.

"Don't know, I guess you just have to ask him." She said.

I watched as Rosemary walked out of the class with Williams.

It was suspicious enough that they were whispering to each other but I decided I would figure that out later.

"Kemi what's up?" I asked him and took the empty seat beside him.

"Nothing" He said, his eyes not leaving the comic book in front of him.

"You didn't really think I would kiss Daniel did you?" I asked.

He dropped the book and turned to me.
"It doesn't really seem like something you would do but it's hard to not believe it when I know you've had a soft spot for him since JSS 1" He said.

"I don't anymore, remember you told me to stop crushing on him because of how I always got bullied by Kosi? Think about it Kemi, Do I really have enough confidence to kiss a boy in public?" I chuckled, "My confidence would never get as high as that".

"First of all, I believe your confidence would grow stronger one day and secondly, you're right. But how do you explain the video?" He asked me.

"Kemi" I called.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"Do you trust me?" I asked him.

"Yeah, 100%" He said.

"You know what they say, Actions speaks louder than words. Show me you trust me." I told him.

"How?" He asked.

"By helping me get rid of the video before the rumor gets to the Principal's hearing". I told him.

"Kemi, should I tell you why that video is fake?"

"Yeah".

"We're in the 21st century where there's a lot of technology and apps to do a lot of stuff. There are apps for editing videos, cropping and making illusions like this."

"You're right, Tega" He said.

"So we're good now?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry. This just shows how much of a terrible friend I am" He said, face palming himself.
