Chapter 19 🧡🧡

Hello everyone!

How are we all doing?

I am really really sorry for the late updates. I apologize and I hope you all can forgive me.

Thank you for checking my Anike out.

Let's get to it!! 

CHAPTER NINETEEN

ANIKE'S POV

"Are you leaving this room or what? You do not even sleep here anymore? Because of the new girl?"

Mariam asked Jada when she came into the room to wear her uniform for the day just like she has been doing for the past week. To be honest I don't recognize Jada anymore. Sometimes I stare too long at her and I can't find the Jada that I bonded with at my grandma's place. She seems cold, goal focused, angry at us or maybe it is just at a particular someone.

I sat in my bed and tried to study her reaction, a part of me wanted to stand up and talk to her and ask her what was really happening. I miss my first friend.

Jada rolled her eyes,

"We don't just sleep, we study together."

Studying.

She has been doing this a lot.

With Jeff, with the new girl and she subtly gives me this attitude. Especially after since the last test. I hate that a test which held no power at my former school was enough for my first friend to see me as a competitor.

"Life is not that hard Jada. We are your friends too and you act like we are not."

Mercy said sounding really pained for the first time.

"You guys do not know what hard is. I don't want to talk too much; I am with Joy now and I forgot to tell you guys that I will be moving during the weekend. I am sorry but it is better to walk with like minds."

Jada said and sashayed out of the room.

"What is wrong with that girl?"

Mariam asked sounding so frustrated, but I guess she cannot be as frustrated as I am. Jada is now with Joy as well as with most of our classmates, they love her, adore her. The boys, the girls, Nini,  she has even formed a clique and Jada is her right hand. Seeing Niniola being part of their little group as well with other annoying girls still leaves me confused. What is Jada trying to gain?

"I feel maybe she did not really like us."

Mercy replied after a while.

"She is leaving after close to 2 months being together? Omo, I do not even understand what is going on. Is it our fault that she has not gotten a perfect score? Everyone is stressed. I am not happy too, if my mum comes upper week and see my grades, she would go ballistic but you don't see me lashing out on others."

Mariam said and this would be the first time she would actually talk about her family.

I tied my shoe lace, today is Friday and I would be playing today. Unfortunately, Joy too. I do not want my effort to be overshadowed by a professional but there is nothing I can do.

My leg has also healed well and I can say that I am well prepared for the match this afternoon. Jayden and I still practiced yesterday and I remember how he said he was going to talk to Jada. Try to understand what was really going on.

It would be actually fine if all they do in this new clique is just read but no, they have started acting like the school queen and her side chicks. I want to reach out to her, talk to her but after the first time I tried that and she said I was the main cause of this, I knew that was not going to work.
