Cecelia was sitting in the classroom thinking of how to implicate Olivia. She was looking for a way that would made Fred hate Olivia. Henry entered in at the moment.
"Cece what's up?" asked Henry grinning
"Not fine!" replied Cecelia unhappy
"What's wrong?" asked Henry concerned
"It's that girl!" shouted Cece all of a sudden
"Which girl?" he asked surprisedly
"Olivia!" she replied despitefully
"What happened to her and how does that make you unhappy?" chuckled Henry
"I don't like her and I don't why Fred likes her now! I thought it was a game Henry isn't it?" asked Cece annoyed
"It's game of course. Fred will never liked her, he is just playing games with her, so cheer up Cece!" replied Henry firmly
"I don't think so, what am seeing right now is that Fred has fallen for Olivia and we need to stop the game!" said Cecelia carefully. Cecelia loved Fred and couldn't watch anyone take Fred away from her just like that.
"No we can't stop the game. If we do that means Ben was right!" said Henry grinned
"About what?" asked Cecelia stunned
"Oh you've forgotten, I will remind you." smiled Henry "You said Fred has fallen for Olivia that means Olivia is the first girl that could made Fred to fall in love for the first time, so Ben was right when he said Olivia's different from other girls so he's  right!" said Henry softly
"I don't think he's right. It's Olivia that Fall for Fred not Fred. She's a gold digger. Fred can never fall for that poor and hungry girl." said Cecelia angry ILY
"What do you mean Cece?" Laughed Henry
"She's a poor girl and I know she likes money too. Definitely she liked Fred because of the money that's what I thought." replied Cece grinning
"So what you're trying to say right now is that Fred can never fall for Olivia because he's a rich guy he can never fall for a poor girl unless she comes from rich family?" asked Henry wanted to be sure if he gets Cecelia correctly
"Yes you're correct!" replied Cece smiling
"Hmm. Okay we will know soon if Fred likes Olivia or it's Olivia that likes Fred!" said Henry frankly
"I can prove it to you soon Henry." smiled Cecelia wickedly
"Really! You can?" surprised Henry at her sudden reaction
"Yes just give me one day, I will prove to you that Fred can never fall for someone like Olivia." said Cecelia proudly
"Okay if you say so. let's go look for Fred!" They both stood up and leave the classroom.
The following day, Cecelia decided to pay Fred a visit at their house.
Inside the sitting room Cecelia was sitting opposite Fred's mother. They were both gisting and laughing at the same time.
"How's school darling?" asked Mrs Smith cheerfully
"Fine ma!" replied Cecelia softly
"It has been long I've seen you here, hope there's no problem?" asked Mrs Smith lovely.
Mrs Smith like Cecelia, because she was from a rich and respected family. Cecelia and Fred both went to the same elementary school. The both families had been friends since childhood. Mrs Smith was thinking of Fred getting married to Cecelia, when he finishes college school because she thought they're compatible with each other. Unknowingly to Mrs Smith, she never knew of Cecelia bad attitude, none of his kids never told her how proud and spoiled kid, Cecelia was at their school. Mrs Smith never knew Cecelia was always pretending to hide her bad attitude whenever she was around her
"Not at all ma. I've been busy lately with school works ma'am." lied Cecelia to Mrs Smith, she didn't wanted to tell Mrs Smith the truth that Fred had been avoiding her because of Olivia
"Okay that's good Cece. I'm happy to hear that!" said Mrs Smith cheerfully
"Thanks ma'am!" replied Cece smiling
Fred entered inside the sitting room at the moment and he was surprised to see Cecelia at their house. He didn't expected her to be in their house without his knowledge.
"Fred what were you doing since, I have been calling you to come down here since, that was why I sent the housekeeper to call you, Cece is here to see you!" declared his mom softly
"Oh I was doing my assignment." replied Fred indifferently
"I thought you guys usually do your assignment together?" asked his mother surprised at his son strange attitude towards Cecelia
"Yes we used to do our assignment together ma'am. Fred wanted to come over earlier. Am the one that said I was busy." lied Cece again, she didn't want Mrs Smith to know the truth. Fred was astonished at Cecelia interruption and he looked at her in a questioning manner
"Okay anyway. I'm running late kids!" said Mrs Smith, she got up from the cushion chair and absentmindedly dropped her gold wrist watch she wanted to wear. Mrs Smith was about to wear the wrist watch on her wrist hand earlier before the housekeeper interrupted her and said someone was knocking at the door. Mrs Smith was carried away when she saw Cecelia at the moment. She was happy to see Cecelia because it had been long Cecelia visited their house.
"Goodbye ma'am!" said Cecelia smiling, she noticed the wrist watch, Mrs Smith forgot to wear on her wrist hand. She had saw the wrist watch when Mrs Smith opened door for her earlier. Cecelia wanted to called Mrs Smith attention back to the wrist watch she forgot but she quickly changed her mind.
"Goodbye mom!" said Fred softly
Mrs Smith had finally left the house and Cecelia thought inwardly
"This is the best time to carry out my plan!" said Cecelia thoughtfully
"Why did you lie earlier?" asked Fred annoyed
"I didn't lie, I covered up for you. You should be thanking me." chuckled Cecelia
"Really did I ask you to cover up for me?" asked Fred surprised
"It's obvious Fred. I can read your face." chuckled Cecelia again
"So my face is paper you can read now huh. You're funny Cece. I mean this days you're just acting strange." laughed Fred softly
"Really! I see!" Cece stood up from where she was sitting and went to sit where Fred's mom sat down before "Fred I haven't done my homework, can you show me how you did yours?" asked Cece politely pretending to be interested
"Alright I'm coming now." Fred quickly entered the room to get his home work book, before he came back, Cecelia had already taken the wrist watch and hid it inside her purse, she was carrying.
"Here's it Cece!" said Fred, after he reentered the house
"Okay thank you!" replied Cece, she opened the book and turned around immediately "Where's Olivia?" asked Cece looking around impatiently
"Why! Anything?" said Fred looking at Cece suspiciously
"Nothing I didn't see her outside since. And she wasn't the one that offered me this soft drink." smirked Cece smiling
"She's busy inside the house." said Fred nonchalantly
"Hmm. What about Annie is she inside?" asked Cecelia pretending to be nice
"Yes she's inside aren't you doing the assignment anymore?" said Fred surprised at her strange attitude
"I will. I want to ask Annie about something." replied Cece. She quickly got up to meet Anita in her room
"Uhmn, troublesome girl." mumbled Fred and shaked his head slowly
Cecelia knocked at Anita's room and fortunately for her, Olivia was the one that opened the door for Cecelia
"Olivia it's nice to meet you!" said Cecelia smiling friendly at Olivia
"Hi Cece!" replied Olivia gently, she was surprised to see Cecelia at the door. Anita quickly got up from the bed and was surprised who was at the door that makes Olivia speechless.
"Olivia who's that?" asked Anita
"It's Cece!" replied Cece smiling from outside, she deliberately brushed past Olivia roughly from the door and said "I'm sorry Olivia." said Cece and smiled wickedly at Olivia and entered the room
"Cece!" said Anita looking at Cecelia bewildered
"I came to say hi to you Anita." replied Cecelia chuckled and she jumped on the bed unexpectedly
"Umm!" Anita mumbled and thought to herself inwardly "What does she want in my room and what's her plan this time around?" Anita looked at Cecelia questioning and she noticed the devilish smiled on her face
"Wow this bed's soft. I think Olivia sleep here too isn't it?" asked Cece, she raised her eyebrows enquiry
"Yes anything?" said Anita frankly at her
"Nothing dear." Cecelia laughed off slightly and added again "I came to say hi, won't you offer me with something. You know this my first time I entered your room Anita." grinned Cecelia
"Oh I got you. Be right back!" Anita quickly went out pretending to get Cecelia soft drink. She planned on her way out to tell his brother to come chase Cecelia away from her room.
"Fred Fred!" shouted Anita, immediately she stepped foot inside the sitting room.
"Yes what's it. I'm here!" replied Fred from the sitting room
"Oh you're here. Why would you allow Cecelia to come to my room?" asked Anita furiously
"She said she wanted to ask you something. That's what she told me!" replied Fred
"That girl is a liar. She purposely came to taunt Olivia!" shouted Anita angrily
"Really where's Olivia?" asked Fred annoyed
"I left her inside." replied Anita softly
Fred quickly got up from the floor and packed his notes
"Where are you going?" asked Anita bewildered
"I won't allow Cecelia make jest of Olly inside the room alone." replied Fred
"Okay, make sure you let that kitten out of my room now." said Anita pleased "I want to have my siesta now. Tell her to come out before I chased her myself." said Anita angrily
"I will be right back!" said Fred chuckled
Fred went to the door and was about to knock on the door before Cecelia came out herself already.
"Fred! I don't think I will do the home work again. I need to get home now." said Cecelia
"Really, let me see you off then!" replied Fred surprised
"Thanks Fred!" said Cecelia, she thought Fred came to look for her in the room, she blushed inwardly and walked beside him. On getting to the sitting room, Cecelia saw Anita lying down on the sofa
"Anita!" said Cecelia softly
"Cece!" replied Anita surprised to see  her already going home  "I'm about to bring your coke," added Anita pretending to smiled
"Don't worry baby." said Cecelia, she smirked at Anita purposely again since her plan had been accomplished
"Uhmn, I see!" muttered Anita silently
" I'm going home now, that'll be next time dear." said Cecelia smiling brightly. Anita sensed trouble with Cecelia smiling face
"Okay good bye!"  said Anita quickly and she rushed inside
"Let's go Cece!" said Fred. They both went outside.
Inside Anita's room, Anita asked Olivia what Cecelia asked her when she was out of the room
"You mean she was just acting cozy and all?" asked Anita surprised at the statement
"Yes, she even invited me over the weekend. She mentioned you guys are attending a friend party at the pool." said Olivia softly
"Really, she told you that?" asked Anita bewildered
"Yes!" replied Olivia softly
"Uhmn I see! Cece's pretending to be nice. It's strange I sense danger from her." admitted Anita loudly
"Really?" asked Olivia confused
"Yes." replied Anita frankly
"She can't do anything to me." said Olivia absentmindedly
"Just be careful of her. Cece is dangerous. She doesn't makes friend with people that's not from league unless she wants to gain something from them. I know her very well." Warned Anita carefully
"Okay Annie thanks for the advice!" replied Olivia
"Yeah you're welcome!" said Anita
The following morning Mrs Smith had finished dressing up. She was looking for her wristwatch and she checked her drawer and she didn't see it there.
"Fred, Ben Anita?" shouted Mrs Smith suddenly
There was no response and she called the housekeeper Rose
"This is me ma!" said housekeeper
"Go and call me Fred, Ben and Anita!" said Mrs Smith softly
"Okay ma'am!" replied housekeeper
The three kids entered the room with the housekeeper.
"Mum you called us!" said Anita surprised
"Miss Rose, you can go now!" said Mrs Smith gently
"Okay ma'am!" The housekeeper left the room and Mrs Smith faced her kids squarely
"Yes I'm the one that called you guys!" said Mrs Smith
"Okay mum, what's it?" asked Ben
"I'm looking for my gold wrist watch, It was given to me on my birthday. Who took it among you?" said Mrs Smith gently looking over to the kids finally she rested her gaze on Fred.
The gold wrist watch was given to Mrs Smith by one of her admirer: Mr Charles on her birthday. Fred wasn't pleased with the relationship of Mr Charles and his mother, he was the one that gave his mother the wrist watch.
Mr Charles was a rich and gentleman, he loved Fred's mom dearly but Fred was against the relationship, he didn't want his mother to remarried after his father death. Mrs Smith was suspicious of Fred cause she knew his son was never in support of Mr Charles
"Mom, do you mean your gold wrist watch from abroad that Mr Charles gave you?" asked Anita wide eyes opened
"Yes!" replied Mrs Smith
"Did you wear it to the office maybe you might have misplaced it there?" asked Ben
"I remember I was about to wear it when Cece entered here yesterday, but I've checked the sitting room it wasn't there." replied Mrs Smith and she turned to Fred "Did you see the wrist watch Fred?" asked Mrs Smith looking at his son squarely
"No Mom. I didn't see any wrist watch and Cece didn't mentioned anything about wrist watch to me yesterday, because after you left she entered Annie room to greet her and that was all." replied Fred softly
"Okay I will check all the rooms now. I can't lost the wrist watch like that. It worth thousands!" said Mrs Smith angrily.
Mrs Smith left the room for Fred's room, she checked his school bag and drawers she didn't see anything there and later she went to Ben's room and checked likewise. Later she went to Anita's room and checked her room.
Mrs Smith got to the room and met Olivia preparing for her school. Olivia was surprised to see Mrs Smith in the room at the moment
"Good morning ma'am." said Olivia gently
"Morning Olivia. I am looking for my wrist watch, did you help me and see it?" asked Mrs Smith
"No ma'am I didn't see any wrist watch!" said Olivia politely
Anita came inside her room and said to her mother
"Mom have you seen it?" asked Anita
"I haven't seen it am just asking from Olivia too!" replied Mrs Smith
"Okay let's check the room!" said Anita, she was checking her drawer and Mrs Smith picked Olivia's school bag suddenly and checked inside. She felt the gold wrist watch inside the bag and she quickly emptied the bag on the floor. Suddenly the gold wrist watch fell down on the floor
"The wrist watch!" shouted Anita bewildered. Olivia was shocked for some minutes and wondered how the wrist watch entered her school bag
"Olivia didn't I asked you if you help me and see the wrist watch?" said Mrs Smith furiously
"I'm confused right now ma. I didn't see the wrist watch and I didn't know how it got there ma." said Olivia trembling
"Okay pick the wrist watch and follow me to the sitting room now!" said Mrs Smith and she left the room angrily
"Olivia please talk to me did you truly take it. I can beg my mom trust me!" said Anita gently
"I didn't take the wrist watch. I didn't see the wrist watch Anita. Am not lying. I'm just seeing it now please, Anita please trust me!" replied Olivia crying
"Okay but how did it entered your bag?" asked Anita curiously.
"I don't know Anita. Am still in shocked now." replied Olivia sadly and Anita left the room
In the sitting room, everyone was standing both Olivia's grandma and, the house keeper with the kids too.
"Mrs bill you know I really respected you regardless of you being my cook here. How could your granddaughter stole my gold wrist watch with everything I have done for you guys. It's stealing that I hate you all know that?" said Mrs Smith angrily
"Madam I know you're a good woman to me and my family but my granddaughter can never steal. I know my granddaughter very well. She can't take what does not belong to her. I didn't trained her like that. Please madam don't be angry please madam!" replied grandma pleading
"How did the wrist watch entered the school bag. Does the wrist watch have legs and wings and entered the bag itself. I believe in my kids too. They never steal cause they have all what they wanted."  said Mrs Smith sarcastically
"I didn't steal the wrist watch please try and believe me ma'am." Olivia knelt down before Mrs Smith crying uncontrollably
"Mom I believe it's not Olivia that stole the wrist watch!" said Anita suddenly. Everyone was puzzled and looked at him bewildered
"Will you keep your mouth there. I don't want to hear anything again." Mrs Smith turned to Mrs bill and said "I don't want to see Olivia in this house again. Understand?" declared Mrs Smith
"Okay madam." replied Mrs bill sadly
They all left the sitting room, both Anita, Fred and Ben were very upset.
