THE EMERALDS

EMERALDS ACT FOUR

ACT FOUR

After the afternoon classes, I went to Mr Peter's office.

"Knock... knock..., may I come in?"

Mr Peter: Come in.

I flung my hair backwards and sluggishly walked in. I didn't even remember to greet him because I've already began to hate the weirdo.

Mr Peter: (takes his glasses off and placed it on the table). Hi pretty.

Damina: Please, why did you call me here?

Mr Peter: I called you to ask you if I can be your personal lesson teacher.

Damina: Never, never, never and no.

Mr Peter: Why baby?

Damina: Look Mr, I'm not your baby.

Mr Peter: You're screaming.

Damina: What do you want from me?

Mr Peter: Look my dear, to be serious, I really love and admire you. You're sexy, attractive, beautiful, lovely and I must say you have a very very nice figure (admires her body).

Damina: And I must say, I hate you a lot.

Mr Peter: Why? See Damina, I'm in charge of all the results in this school, Erudite High School and if you don't agree to my request, I'll spoil your reputation in this school. And you know what that means. I will frame you for something you didn't do. Read my lips "I WILL SPOIL YOUR REPUTATION GIRL".

Fear gripped my whole body then I ran out of the office in tears. I rushed to the restroom and put on the tap. Suddenly, I heard a footstep and I thought it was Mr Peter, then I turned, only for me to see that same guy that caught me earlier.

Ivan: Hey, what's wrong? You looked frightened.

I couldn't talk to him about anything because the man threatened me, then I had to run out of the restroom. He kept calling on me but I refused to look at him.

AT THE DORMITORY.

I inputted my card then I entered the room. I didn't even realize when I banged the innocent door. On getting to the room, I heard the sound of water rushing out from the tap and I got scared. I summoned courage and asked "who is there?", there wasn't any response then I opened the door, to my surprise, I saw Elma in the bathtub with foam all over her face.

Elma: Who is there? Please I can't see ...... please don't harm me.

Damina: (I laughed) Hey Elma, it's me Damien.

She quickly used a water to wash out the foam that clustered all over her face and body.

Elma: Damie, you scared me.

Damina: Me too, I got scared.

Elma quickly dried her wet body with her red towel then she took her roll-on and applied all over her armpits. Then she opened a pack of peanut and began to crush on them.

Elma: Heeey Damie, what's up, you don't look like usual.

Damina: It's nothing much tho, I'm normal.

Elma: Hey don't lie to me girl.

Damina: Elma, I'm saying the truth. Why are you acting like an investigator?

Elma: You know I care for you, but if you say so, I'll believe you.

Elma: Blannie and Jessica are waiting for us so that we'll go get some crunchy pizzas. Let's get going.

I jumped down from my bed and followed her immediately. On our way to get the pizzas, we were chatting and taking some selfies.

At the pizza store.

Frank: Hey, four of you should get up from there.

Elma: Is it us?

Frank: Yes.

Blannie: Why?

Frank: The emeralds are coming here.

I sighed and sat back on my seat. Blannie, Elma and Jessica stood up and looked at me.

Jessica: Let's leave here. The emeralds are coming.

Damina: Why should we leave? (I asked rhetorically) What can those girls and boys do? Aren't they our fellow human beings? (sighs).

Elma: Hey Damina, you and I knows that you're always timid, just stop being stubborn and get up

Damina: Leave me alone girl.

Ray: (Walks in) What's going on here? Weren't you guys informed that the Emeralds were coming?

Damina: We were informed. Should we leave for you guys to come in?

Zoe: Hey newbie, mind your tongue else I'll cut it off for you and I'll do something unforgettable to you. You'll remember it for the rest of your bloody life.

Damina: Sets of cowards.

I sat down on the couch and placed my two legs on the glass table then I took a sip of my fruit juice and put on a music with my music player.

Deborah: Oh my, seems you don't know who you are dealing with.

Mira: Yeah, she doesn't.

I paid deaf ears to them and continued chilling. After some minutes, they got tired and left.

Mr Aaron: Oh my dear, you're very confident. No one can face the Emeralds, not even the teachers, but you just showed them that you are ........

Damina: (Cuts in) Don't mention Sir. They are just nothing compared to ants.

Jessica: Wooooow Damie, you even called them cowards.

Blannie: This is the first time in history that Damie's acting brave. For this act, I'll pay for your pizza.

Damina: Don't mention dear and thanks alot.

Light out.
