Few minutes later found her inside the mansion.
What took u so long, her mother asked and she was quite releaved wen Regina answered for her.
" Hey Keren u know many people on our village here are not registered so hv a picture of the line that would be assembled at the office."
Oh ye_ yes yes there was a very huge line . Julie added sounding so real to remove suspicions.
Nevertheless, she refused to accept this excuse giving Julie a l_dont_ believe_ wat_ u_hv said look.
Julie sighed in wardly wondering wat her mom was thinking of her being late. Bug she brushed it off.
Meanwhile after dinner, as she was on her bed she quickly darted her gaze to were she had hide the hala that was bought by Jaime.
Truly, she would have not know to use a phone but fortunately she had learnt from her friend's phone wic she used to text her bf.
She switched on the phone and logged into the Ronnie's social media platforms.
She sent a hi. Though he was online he never replied to her.
So she went to view his posts totally forgetting about Jaime.
She was startled, confused and perplexed at the same time to wat she saw.
She didn't want to believe it at any single moment so she put her who aside of not calling a man instead he should so she dailed his number.
After so many attempts wic she didn't know their figure, he picked up.
Hello, he drawled.
How can u explain the pic on u status, Ashely pic and u comment their the love of my life. Then wat am l? U such a monster, how can u date my friend, uhm? Answer me. Julie yelled in frustration his silence some how met a yes though she was still demanding an answer from him. How love sick she to him!
Their was silence on the other end of the line before he uttered three words.
lt was a dare.
" Do u expect me to believe u" she asked in a quivering shaky voice.
U have to coz we were l in a group and l was dared.
Before he could finish the line went blank and he thought she had removed her intentionally.
On Julie's side, she had footsteps as she was talking and abruptly ended the call without bidding a goodbye wic was rare.
She covered the phone with a bed cover and turned around panickingly to meet Whitney leaning on the door.
" Wat do u want from my room? " Julie asked .
" ls it bad to come visit my lovely sister after a long day of missing her." she retorted with sarcasm in her voice.
Julie rolled her eyes wondering the only sister she has if they came from the same womb. Now as u have seen me u can go back.
" Not that early sis, have seen u came bc home with a handsome rich guy huh? Whoever he is tell him that l like him do u get? Whitney explained.
" A u sick or out of u mind, u have a month go and tell him yourself and maybe he has a girlfriend. " Julie exclaimed angrily.
Whiney confirmed her, " l don't care tell me him. "
I won't
Whit never answered her after hearing a sound from a phone in her room '__scratch that, directly from her bed.
" Do u have a phone? " she asked.
" N_ No, Julie stuttered tightening her fingers into fist.
ln a brink of an eye Whit had rushed to look for the phone if it was there and she was standing in front of naive Julie.
" Well, well my bf to be is rich, he bought u a phone for u a wrinkled old rag. Whit spoke in disgust.
Cut that crap, you are my sister u can't call me that and give me bc my phone. Julie muttered as tears were clouding her eyes but swallowed them bc.
" To give u back u phone and keep my mouth shut, u have to tell him that l like him do u get me? " Whit drawled her ideologies.
Fine l will tell him, now give me bc my phone.
Whit retorted, " good girl. with that she dashed out.
On Jaime's side.
He had waited for Julie's call since the minute he stepped home but kept getting disappointed receiving calls from the girls who cling on him coz of his looks and money and he hates it.
But for Julie, he was surprised, which girl in this village could give him a had time like her yet other girls fight for that platinum prize.
He had called her but never picked up now he is finding it hard to sleep.
A phone call plucked him out of building castles in the air.
He answered without looking at the caller ID.
Hello
Hi am Julie, how are u?
Not believing his ears for a moment before answering.
Am fine and you, l thought u didn't want to talk to me?
Sorry for not picking up u call but l was still taking a bath.
Ok , u would have picked up my call and tell me to come and l help u with scrubbing the back u know.
Julie cheeks turned crimson as coal.
Hey, stop joking around, am even feeling sleepy besides l hv school tomorrow.
Wy a u lying this is a holiday milady.
Stop calling me that l hv a name and schooling in holiday is bcoz l am a candidate next year so goodnight.
With that, she hung.
He speaks well, his voice could make all the world to shut coz it is so cool. Julie wat a u thinking u hv Ronnie and his enough for u, she shook off those thoughts and drifted off to sleep.
Early in the morning, Julie had woken up early , had a bath and won school attires
after having breakfast.
Whit was also tugging along with Julie claiming that she needed couching.
Since Regina and her husband were not short on money she was allowed so now they were going together to school.
On arrival at school, they alighted from the car.
Julie's jaw dropped at the sight of the school, by looks it was three times bigger than the one she was studying from the other side. Whit was not even an atom surprised coz she was in one of the biggest school in the whole country.
Julie sat in class as other students also went for their seats.
To her second biggest surprise, it was Jaime, he was walking into the lecture room.
She must be hallucinating about Jaime ... right? She pinched her arm to see if she was dreaming but it seemed this was reality.
He came inside as he winked at her having a seat beside her.
Hi, Jaime greeted.
Hello , yesterday u sounded as if you were not a candidate ? Julie answered while inquiring.
Yes l am but mom made it a mandatory for me to come for couching and l don't hv a choice but to come this hell of a school.
Before Julie could answer the teacher came in, it seems she is a math teacher since it was the first on the time table and soon the lesson began.
Lunch time surfaced, Jaime and Julie went to the school carteen to something to eat.
They were silently eating wen Whit interrupted.
" Hey sis, hv been looking for u but finally , " she audibly sighed as she gota seat next to Julie.
Jaime stood up go get his favorite milk shake so Julie and Whit remained their.
