      "Sofia, Sofia, it was actually a dare during my 14th birthday, three years back. But I turned it into a bet because of you!"  It became a bet because of Sofia? How? How does me ending up depressed have to do with my best friend? What have I ever done wrong to anyone here. I wish I had never accepted that scholarship.

    My life would have never gotten to this. Atleast I would have known my limits. But here I'm refusing to breakdown. Knowing everyone,not only my classmates but some other school mates were now in our class. And they know everything. They know I have been dumped, only for me to find out that his reason was my best friend?

     Everyone gasps,some people were already sharing their snacks like this was a movie.
  "I don't understand", I said stammering.
     "When we were in jss3 I had a major crush on Sofia. I asked her out but she refused me repeatedly. Telling me how much she hated me,how arrogant I was. And how I always treated you. So I decided to change for her. I started hanging out with you guys and trying to relate with you. You were never my type,you have always been disgusting. I hate poor people. Like hate. I'm even surprised I tolerated you for so long.

    I continued to play along for few months and asked her again few weeks before my birthday but she turned me down again. And she screamed 'no' out and told me to stop trying. I was hurt deeply and that was the week I started avoiding you both. If you can still remember. I was so angry because no one has ever refused me like that. I tried to be better for her but it wasn't enough for her. I was very hurt,that I didn't even invite Sofia for my birthday. I won't have invited you anyways I don't like you.

    Then in the party,I got drunk. I felt so stupid to not have invited Sofia to the party. It felt useless,then my friend suggested we play truth and dare. I can never be tired to play any game.
     And I was dared by Wole to sleep with you know,the scholarship student. First I was going to refuse it and pay the fine. But I had a second thought. You guys were so close. If I don't get you and I get her. I hurt her and eventually sleep with her,you will surely be hurt.

    I will be happy,if I know I paid you back for saying no to me. I was never going to hurt you. Our status even matched and all that. And at that moment I only wanted revenge. They say revenge it's only for the weak. I'm sure I heard that somewhere. But,I was indeed weak. I waited these three years patiently hoping you will eventually start liking me seeing how good of a boyfriend I am. But you didn't,you hated me more and I felt you only tolerated me for your best friend. I kept trying and kept failing. You refused to budge. In Ss2 they asked me why I was taking so long to do the dare. But I told them to give me more time and made it a bet. That when I do succeed in doing it I would throw a midnight party. And if I don't succeed,I will share half my property with them.

      So it was a win win situation for them. Yes it's just too much for revenge. But, it's never too much when the power and wealth is there. Something your best friend can never have. I feel fulfilled and alive after I have done it. I did enjoy it Treasure. But don't bother about midnight stand's. I can never do you again even with my eyes closed. I hate you. I don't love you. And I'm over Sofia too. I just hope this teaches everyone not to mess with me. I mean even if you didn't give in Treasure. I would have raped you regardless and what can a poor girl like you do to defend herself.

    I always get what I want. How I want it and when I want it. That has always been my anthem. And if I don't get what I want. I'm afraid someone else has to suffer for it. I hope this rings a bell Sofia. I'm finally free from the burden like relationship".

      "Youuu", Joseph shouted and he pounced on Samuel. Beating him and I didn't stop him. Neither did I cry. Sofia came over to me in tears and hugged me. And I hugged her back,it was never her fault. She cried and I consoled her. It's funny how I'm not the one in tears. No I refuse to cry! I won't shed tears. I'm not weak.
