EPISODE 4: Plan B
Fikayo’s office. After school.
"Get out."
That’s all he said.
Sefirah was crying. "Fikayo please. They’ll suspend me. My dad will kill me."
Fikayo didn’t look at her. "You failed. You’re useless to me now."
He threw her bag at her.
Sefirah ran out, sobbing.
Fikayo picked up his phone.
One text: Plan A failed. Move to Plan B.

The next day.
Tara and Soheeh were finally talking again.
"Thank God for CCTV," Soheeh said, pulling her close. "I thought I was expelled."
Tara smiled. "The Stars don’t leave their own."
Femi, Kikky, Sophia, David, Ife, Temi, Okiki and Kate all cheered.
"We move!" Femi shouted.
But someone was watching from the window.
Fikayo.
That night, the school group chat got a new post.
Anonymous.
A video.
It was Tara.
From last year’s camp.
Dancing. Laughing. Drinking soda.
But the caption read: Head Girl Tara gets drunk at camp. Is this who we want leading us?
The video was edited.
The soda was actually Sprite.
But nobody cared.
Comments blew up.
"Remove her as Head Girl!"
"She’s a hypocrite!"
"Soheeh’s girlfriend is a drunk??"
Tara woke up to 200+ mentions.
Her hands were shaking.
Soheeh called her immediately. "Babe don’t read it. It’s fake."
Tara whispered, "But what if people believe it?"
In class, the Principal called Tara to the front.
"Tara, we need to talk about your position."
Fikayo sat in the back, earphones in, smiling.
He looked at his phone and typed:
Plan B: In progress.
