Threshold of a new life(completed)✔

Chapter fifty-one

"What! What did you just say now?" I asked just to confirm if what I heard was actually what I heard.

"Er...I..."

"You heard right!" Faith from behind spoke up and started walking to us.

I frowned a bit as I looked at Joy confusedly. "So you actually were the one who inserted his contact on my phone." I said in a rather whispered tone.

"Tell her Joy. Tell her the truth." Faith said again.

Joy looked at me and before I knew it, there was a scowl on her face. "Yes, I did it." She said firmly yet sinisterly. "And should I shock you? I wasn't being sincere when I apologized to you on WhatsApp. It was actually a plan just to ruin you and Benji's relationship. We were this close but I don't even know what happened. That's by the way. My main point is, duh! Do you actually think I can swallow my pride that easily? After what you did to me. You stole Benji away from me." As she said that, I looked at Benjamin and he had a surprised look on his face as he flinched back a little.

"And you then expected me to just slide into you DM and apologise to you, just like that? Ha! You are a long thing my sister. I'm not that desperate to be friends with you. And also, I have a huge pride just as you do." She concluded her speech.

Whilst she was saying all of that, my mouth was in agape. So all that was just a plan? Why am I even surprised? "Hmph." I scoffed. I squinted my eyes and smirked at her. "I wouldn't say I'm not shocked at what you just revealed. But what I wanna know is how you got hold of my phone."

"Pfft! That's easy to explain. I think that day, after break, you went to use the toilet or thereabout sha, so I took your phone from your bag while no one was watching, and even if someone caught me, I would have lied that you told me to bring your phone to you. After I'd taken your phone, I tried the password and found out that it was still the same as when we friends, so I got access to it. That's how I inserted his number into your phone. Smart right?" She let out a smug smirk.

"Yeah, pretty smart dumb head." Amaka chimed in. "But you just ruined it with your big mouth, now is that called smartness?" She rolled her eyes at her. Savage bitch!

There was a short pause that took place amongst us all. After which, I spoke. "So what do you have to say for yourself, John?" I glared at him.

He seemed to be taken aback by my question. He sure didn't expect the question. "I–" He trailed off.

"Apparently, he has nothing to say." Benjamin sneered at him.

"You know what? Let's just go home and forget about all these rubbish that happened." Chuka suggested. "At least, we now know the folks behind all the nonsense that was happening." His look read disgust. And I was sure as anything that he referred that statement mostly to his ex – Faith.

"I totally agree with Chuka." Benjamin supported. "Let's go guys."

We backed our bags and walked out of their midst. As we were walking, Amaka started a conversation. "Ruby, you know I told you that that John guy was wasn't meant to be trusted?"

"Hmm." I didn't want to discuss that again. I just wanted to let it slide off. I've already had enough.

"And I also told you that all what was happening was just a plan." She said again.

"No wonder after Joy had successfully inserted the guy's phone number into Ruby's phone, that was when they decided to execute their plan." Chuka added.

I just sighed and wore a long face after their speech.

"What's the matter?" Benjamin asked in a low concerned tone as he interlocked his fingers with mine. Chuka and Amaka had already changed the topic and were now discussing something else with each other. They sure looked good together.
