"You feeling better?" Chole asked, a smile spreading across her face.
"Much better," Ariel replied, letting out a deep breath.
"I'm glad you're feeling better," Chole said, her tone sincere. "Hey, since we're both planning on going to UNILAG, have you thought about what you're going to major in?"
"I'm planning to major in medicine and surgery," Ariel said, her eyes lighting up. "What about you?"
"I'm thinking about nursing," Chole said, her expression thoughtful. "
"All right, let's read and pass" Ariel said, her tone firm.
"But Ariel, the party!" Chole protested, her eyes pleading.
"Chole," Ariel said, her voice firm but gentle. "We need to study first, then we can party."
"Fine," Chole said, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "Let's get started."
"That's the spirit," Ariel said, her tone encouraging. "We'll get this done, and then we can have some fun."

As Alex lifted his head, he saw Chole and Ariel laughing together. A pang of guilt hit him as he watched them.
"I feel so guilty every time I see Ariel," Alex said, his voice thick with emotion.
"Well, you should," Greg said bluntly. "You did a really crappy thing to her."
"Hey, come on, Greg," Raymond said, frowning. "That's not helping."
"I'm just being honest," Greg said, unapologetic.
"But Greg, you could be a little more supportive," Raymond said, shooting him a reproving look.
"What do you want me to say?" Greg said, shrugging. "He knows what he did was wrong."
"Maybe, but you don't need to rub it in," Raymond said, giving Greg a meaningful look.
"Whatever," Greg said, turning his attention to Alex. "So, where are you guys planning on going to school?"
"UNILAG," Alex and Raymond said in unison.
"Me too," Greg said with a grin.
"our registration is tomorrow,What are your plans for tomorrow?" Raymond asked, a curious expression on his face.
"I'm planning on taking the school bus in the morning and calling my driver to pick me up in the afternoon," Alex said, his tone practical.
"I think I'll do the same," Greg said, nodding his head.
"We can just all go together," Alex suggested, a hopeful look on his face.
"Sounds good to me," Raymond said, giving Alex a reassuring smile.

"Who are we waiting for?" Mr. Collins asked, glancing around the room.
"Raymond, Greg, and Alex," Gita replied, checking her watch.
"Where are they?" Mr. Collins asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Just then, Raymond, Greg, and Alex burst into the room, breathless and flushed.
"We're sorry we're late," Greg and Raymond said in unison.
"Alex, I'm waiting for your apology," Mr. Collins said, his eyes on Alex.
"I'm sorry, sir," Alex said, his voice contrite.
Mr. Collins looked at him sternly. "Your pride and arrogance will get you into trouble one day," he said. "Now, I'm going to call your names, and you will all march to the school bus."
