The Tusles 🥰

chapter 6

After the Valentine's party, Tasha decided to follow Brenda home but noticed that Desmond was walking her home still she decided to follow them up at a distance.While Brenda and Desmond were having a conversation about the party,Brenda noticed that someone was following them but ignored it thinking it was a random person.Then they decided to stop and watch out

" Desmond I feel like someone is following us at the back "

" I don't think so.maybe you are just hallucinating ". After some minutes,they continued their journey home.While Tasha was carefully tracking them home,some hoodlums came and abducted her.She screamed but no one came to her aid.

" Desmond I think something is wrong somewhere. Can't you hear some noises back??"

" I heard some noise but I can't detect where the noise is coming from. Let's just forget about it Brenda and hurry home. I don't want your mother to get worried about your where about" he said and they left walking a bit faster.Although Desmond wanted to accompany Brenda home and probably enter the house to greet her mother,she didn't allow him. She simply asked him to stop by the closest place to their house then bade him farewell.Throughout that day,she remembered everything that happened in school.She was so happy and felt fulfilled and never regretted accepting to be Desmond's partner but she didn't mention anything concerning the party to the mom because she didn't want to get her upset.

The next day in school was a busy one as everyone was talking about what had happened during the valentine's party. Many were seen congratulating Brenda and Desmond while some were busy but they were all interrupted by the presence of Miss Royce.

" Good morning class.how are you all doing"

" Good morning Miss Royce.we are doing fine"

" So it has been brought to our notice that one of you Natasha seems to be missing". There was sudden noise in the class because of the news.

" Tasha's parents came to complain to the school authority today because of her absence. While all of you returned to your various houses yesterday Miss Natasha was not found yesterday. If you have any clue of where Tasha is please do not hesitate to inform the school's authority.Thank you for your maximum cooperation". At this point,Fender became worried.he wondered what could have probably happened to her. he could remember her words during the valentine's party when she said she was going to do anything to hurt Brenda.He started contemplating

reporting to the school's authority. He feared that it would get Brenda into trouble and he didn't want anything to hurt Brenda any longer. Not withstanding,he still decided to report the case. He decided to go to the proprietor's office to report the case.

" Good morning sir"

"Good morning Fender. Have you got any News for me??"

"yes sir.I vividly remember what Tasha told me yesterday during the valentine's party.She was angry with the fact that Brenda and Desmond were the best partners during the valentine's party because she has always liked Desmond but it seemed like he never really liked her.So after hearing the M.C declare Desmond and Brenda best partners,she became infuriated and was determined on hurting Brenda by all cost.She snapped a picture of both Brenda and Desmond and edited it.she then decided she would trace Brenda on her way home inorder to get the pictures to her mother.Although she asked me to accompany her but I told her I was not in support of what she was about to do.So I think she might have been kidnapped on her way to Brenda's house".

" Thank you so much Desmond for this piece of information.I assure you that very soon we will find Natasha and bring her back to school. Mean while,can you call Brenda and Desmond for me?". The proprietor said and Fender quickly went to the classroom to fetch Brenda and Desmond.When both of them were in his office,he started asking them questions

" Miss Brenda,I was told that Natasha wanted to follow you home.Is that true??"

" Sir,I would not know if Tasha followed me home or not because she didn't tell anything about that."

" That's fine but you have any idea of what might have happened to her ??

" No sir. I absolutely do not have any idea"

" How about you Desmond. Do you have any idea of where Tasha might be??"

" No sir.But yesterday,when Brenda and I were on our way home,we heard some noises at our back although we were unable to detect what the noise was all about but we felt like there was something behind the noise"

" Ok Desmond.thank you for the piece of information so I will just send for the detectives then you can accompany them to the spot from where you started hearing the noise ".

" No problem sir.we are willing to do anything so help you find Tasha" . He said as they walked to the classroom. Within some minutes the proprietor had called some detectives so they sent for Brenda and Desmond to follow them to the spot immediately. when they arrived at the spot,the detectives gathered the piece of information they needed and they were done within some minutes and returned both Brenda and Desmond to the school promises after asking them few questions.From the information gathered by the detectives,they were able to find out that a kidnapping case was involved and within some days they did all they could to bring Tasha back to the school premises.

" Good morning class " greeted Miss Royce

" Good morning Miss Royce " they replied.

" So I have good news for you today Guess who we have in our mist??". She asked and the class became noisy as the students were wondering and discussing who could be in their mist.

" Ok enough of the noise.So Tasha is finally back.Tasha please come in" She shouted. When Tasha entered the classroom, the class became noisy again. Her friends were happy to see her and many were shocked of how a bully like her could get kidnapped.They wonder why she did not bully the kidnappers but never the less,they were happy that she was alive.

" Tasha am really happy that you are back and safe and sound.I was really worried about you" Fender said

" You know if you had agreed to accompany me all this would not have happened right" Tasha asked looking at Fender.

" I know I wronged you by not following you but I advised you to let go of Desmond. He doesn't like you.He likes Brenda and you know that very well.I think you should let go of him and stop taking risky decisions" Fender replied

" Ok Mr Fender, I have heard you.Though it won't be easy for me,. but I will try.After all the lessons I learned in the hands of those kidnappers am not ready to take any decisions concerning the bond between those two". Fender bursted out in laughter when she was done talking.Tasha was annoyed and wondered why he was laughing

" Why are you laughing at me Fender. What's funny about what I just said??". She said looking furious

" Am really sorry Tasha,I didn't mean to upset you.am just happy that you were able to learn something new" he said looking at her

" So are you going to apologize to Brenda for all you have made her go through??'

" I will think about that"

" What is there to think about??. How to say sorry for everything you have ever done to her?. I know we did some of this bullshit together but am really regretting why I did all the rubbish I did to people especially weaker students for no just cause. You know what they say, what goes around comes around. Take Ben Carson for instance.Though he was considered dull in his class, but he later became a very good neurosurgeon. So we shouldn't make jest of others just because they don't have what we have today"

" Fender the preacher.I have heard all you have said and I promise to turn a new leaf" Tasha said teasing him. Within himself,Fender really liked Tasha but he didn't know how he could summon courage to tell her but he made up his mind that he would tell her later or sooner
