Electing The Alpha

Chapter 31:

"Hey buddy! How'd it go?" Aaron asks and we are all curious to know. He sits down.
"I lied" he states simply and l heave a sigh of relief so as the others. He didn't confess! Yes!
"Am so sorry Troy" I say honestly.
"Its okay! Besides, no one will catch us cause I got everything under control" Troy says.
"How?" Alec asks.

"I'm not stupid! Do you think I would leave the cameras on whiles doing my dubious act?" Troy spits and we all realize what he's talking about.

"You switched off the security camera system?" Kimberly blurts
"Yup! So there will be no videos of me putting the frogs in the locker" Troy says proudly and we all gape at him.

"What about your finger print?" Alec says.
"I wore these!" Troy says and shows us a pair of gloves.
"Do you think I will use my bare hands to pick the frogs?" He asks and we are all astonished.

"Well yeah cos you are weird" Kimberly replies after recovering.

"Oh that hurt Kim" Troy says feigning hurt.

"Sorry" Kimberly drawls.

"Am proud of you bro! That was really smart of you" Aaron compliments and Alec nods.

"At least you are safe now" Jake says looking at Troy and I.
I nod.
"The investigation would lead to nothing! Trust me!" Troy says with a wink.

I smile. We are safe now. My heart is at rest now. I finish up my pizza and go for my next class.

When the final alarm goes for the end of the day, I trudge to my locker and dump my books in it. Poor Kate is still in the hospital. I giggle at the thought.

"Hey gorgeous! Ready to go home?" Jake says and I clutch my chest. He frightened me. I chuckle.
"Ummm.....yeah! I was just packing"
Jake gives me a small smile.
"But am done anyway! My mom will be here to pick  me up soon" I say
"Okay, I can escort you to the parking lot" He suggests and I nod.

"Hey there! Lovebirds!" Kimberly gushes and I blush.
"What are you two up to?" She spits and I chuckle
"We are going home" I reply.

"Going home? Well I have an announcement to make! Tonight am having a sleep over at my house" Kimberly says

"Really?" I ask. Its a long time I've attended sleepovers. I miss them

"Mm hmm! You are all invited" she gushes.

"I don't know your house Kim! But maybe Nikki will show me" Jake says and I know he was going.

"I don't think I'll make it. It depends on my mom" I reply.

"Am sure she will agree! She knows me! Be there by seven! See ya" she sang hurriedly and left.

"You need to be there! It will be fun" Jake suggests.
I sigh. We walk together to the parking lot.
"I was very worried when you told me you made Troy prank Kate!" Jake spits.
"I was worried too but nothing is going to happen" I reply.
"Don't take chances like that" Jake scolds.
I nod and spot my mother's car enter.
"She's here! See ya" I say and leave him.

I climb into the passenger seat and wave Jake before leaving.
"I didn't know he attends your school" mom spits at me.
"Well yeah he does" I reply awkwardly.
Then its silent until Trina gets into the car.

💜💜💜
"Mom, Kimberly is having a sleepover at her house tonight! Can I go?" I ask the moment we enter the house.

"A sleepover? Cool!" Trina yells.
"Of course sweetheart! Just remember to pack all the things you will need" mom replies
"Thanks mom" I reply and dash to my room.
I grabbed my pj's from the closet and a few clothes I would need for school tomorrow.
