Wealthy heart

"is it ok?"

"Good afternoon girls!? The exams are over and I assume everyone knows what they did, so! I would like to congratulate everyone of you for your total cooperation during the semester, but most likely our new student who has been here for only two months. For her hard work and determination to earn such score's. Work well done Brendah! you can now start preparing to go to your homes on this weekend." Mrs Sylvia said.

"It's party time!"Valentine said it as she jumped all over the place. Everyone was preparing themselves for Mrs Sylvia's suprise party which was going to be held in the school hall that night. Everyone was excited.

"Hy Brendah, I was thinking we can have a chat as we walk to the hall?" Winnie asked Brendah. It has been two weeks since Winnie spoke to her after she moved out of their room. " Yeah sure, why not!" Brendah answered as questions puzzled through her mind trying to find a matching piece. "What could she probably want from me? I thought she was angry and never wanted anything to do with me?"

" I guess you are surprised, I am too! to be honest I always wanted to talk to you but we had exams. Am really sorry Brendah for our last conversation we had, I wasn't really good to you and I acted badly. I have been thinking about the kiss and I know you said it never ment anything to you but it did to me. That's why i acted that way, and I know it's not a good explanation for what I did. Last semester I discovered that I liked girls so I tried telling my parents about it and it never went well. So I have been having problems coming out to anyone. That's why I got angry when you did that. Am sorry." Winnie said it as tiers flowed down her chicks

Brendah got closer and hugged her tight to show comfort saying " I wish you had told me earlier, am sorry you went through all of that alone. It must be sad thinking you are all alone. You know, Coming out is a hard decision one has to make for themselves, am sorry about your parents, they should know better."

"Am not ready to come out like you. Please don't tell anyone. We better enter inside before Valentine comes for you" Winnie said as she wiped her tires.

"keep it down! I hear them coming, switch off the lights, on a count of three..." they all whispered to one another.

"Three....two ....one..... happy birthday Mrs Sylvia..." the music started playing in the background as the girls danced to the beats. Mrs Sylvia was quite surprised on how the girls had arranged it without her knowing.

They all shared the snacks and later Mrs Sylvia was called out to cut the cake.

"Happy birthday to you....

Happy birthday dear Mrs Sylvia.....

Happy birthday to you." everyone was happy.

" I even don't know what to say, am happy to have such students in my school, am overwhelmed with joy and glad that I have a family like you girls, I'll miss you when you all go, thank you very much girls. Am so tired I think I should go and rest, I believe you are all grown up and can handle this. Don't be up late, miss Hope will keep an eye on you.Good night girls." Mrs Sylvia said her vote of thanks as she walked though the corridor to the teacher quarter.

Claire and Santo had other plans for the night. They drugged miss Hope to sleep.

Turned the music up and removed some liquors out of their back bags . Only God knew where they had gotten from. "Let's party everyone." Valentine said as she sipped a full bottle of Bombay gin.

it's nine AM in the morning, luckily everyone is in their rooms except from Miss Hope who doesn't remember anything from yesterday. "What happened here? where are the girls? No! No! it's already late, I have to wake up the girls! " Miss Hope said to herself.

"Grr... Grr..." the bell is rung and everyone assembles at the parade, "What is this all about? an assembly meeting on a weekend?"

the girls asked themselves.

"Good morning! I would like an explanation, what happened yesterday? why was I left at the hall all alone!? I know that's not your duty to look after me but am glad you are all safe. Today you will be cleaning all the surfaces including that hall you left in a mess. That's all for today, have a busy day." Miss Hope said it as she walked to her room.

"Guys! for a minute I thought Miss Hope would realise what Santo and Claire did to her. Have you seen how she looks in the morning, she has a terrible morning look." they all laughed.

"Talking of bad looks, I still have this hangover. I better take a nap, will you guys cover for me for just some minutes? please!" Valentine asked Brendah and Winnie.

" ofcourse! just for some. minutes before Miss Hope wakes up" Winnie said it as they assembled all the equipments from the store.

"Ohh! look at the mess we left behind" Brendah said as she rearranged the chairs in the hall. "Have you watched that movie? the mess you left behind? Woow I never knew we had a similar taste in movies" They both giggled.

" Thank you both for covering for me. I owe you one." Valentine was back, she looked refreshed. "I think we are done over here." they both said.

Its already night time and everyone looks tired. " Good night Winnie, Good night Valentine" Brendah said as she walked to her room from the cafeteria.

"We shall meet on our next semester. Good bye girls" Mrs Sylvia's said.

"One of my boyfriends is coming for me, am so excited" Valentine said. "Brendah is everything ok? Are your parents coming for you?" Winnie asked. " Yeah! my brother and my bestie are coming." Brendah answered.

"Valentine can I talk to you as we wait!? is it ok if we hang out together at my place or your place sometime? that is if you are interested." Brendah was nervous while asking. " Why not! I'll be so happy hosting you or vice versa. Good bye Brendah shall keep in touch." Valentine said as she walked to her tall dark and masculine boyfriend.

"Hey Marcos, meet my friend Brendah. Now can we go? I missed you so much." Valentine said as she kissed his lips.

Brendah still had hope in making Valentine her girlfriend she knew what she fell was real . She had to fight for what she wanted.
