after six lectures....
Therisa: (approaches Tessa at the hallway) hey...girl, I think I don't understand the maths we were taught today. if it's okay by you, can you brief me on it?
Tessa: yes of course, it is. I mean, what are friends for? come on, let's go over to the library.
Vanessa: (approaches them) I'm coming too!
Tessa: (surprise, tries to confirm) Are you talking to me?
Vanessa: what's new, you're not even ready to change. it's okay, I'll just go. (pretends to be so changed. Turns to leave)
Tessa: (holds her hand) wait! I didn't mean that. you're welcome to come with us. let's go (the three of them left for the library).
from the library....
Sharon: (meets them at the entrance) you girls didn't even tell me you were gonna come to the library, I would have come along too! (looks at Vanessa) who is this? is she also interested in joining the squad?
Tessa: No, she's my roommate. Her name is Vanessa. (to Vanessa) meet my friends, Therisa and Sharon.
Vanessa: Hello. (to Tessa) Can I talk to you for a moment? In private.
Tessa: okay? (to the her two girls) I'll be back, guys. (left with Vanessa, to a corner) Hopefully there's no problem?
Vanessa: (fakes some tears) I'm so sorry for all I did to you, all those years. I just hope that someday you find a place in your heart to forgive a lunatic like me.
Tessa: (feels for her) come on, Vanessa. look I had forgiven you, okay? I bear no grudges against you.
Vanessa: thanks allot, Tessa! (fakes a cry)
Tessa: It's okay, come here. (hugs her)
Vanessa: (smiles from behind them) Tessa, and another thing. I want to be part of the squad, Sharon was talking about.
Tessa: Are you sure?...in that case, of course you can. As a matter of fact, you'll be my best friend. Let's go have a meeting with the others.
Vanessa: (leaves with Tessa)
at the Greenwoods....
Tessa: (to the S-FORCE) I call for this meeting because we have a special, new member joining us today. Vanessa is now part of us. ( turns to Vanessa) Say "hi", Vanessa.
Vanessa: emmm, hello everyone. I'm so glad to be a member of your squad and i'm Tessa's bestie.
Felis: wait, she wants to join us to fight?
Vanessa: (confuse, eager to know) fight what?
James: she doesn't even know!
Tessa: (to Vanessa) Our mission, as the S-forces is to get rid of Moneca from the face of this school, and to save the boys from her slavery.
Vanessa: (giggles, chuckles)
Sharon: what's so funny?!
Lissa: (to Tessa) I don't think it is a good idea to tell a total stranger our plans, Tessa.
Tessa: while, she's not a stranger any more but now part of us and my best friend.
Lissa: (slightly jealous) Your best friend? don't you think you need to think this over?!
Therisa: yeah, and besides we haven't accepted her. We need time to think about this.
Adams: If you ask me, I say we should test her... like give her time to prove herself to us. don't you think?
Felis: You mean, probation. I agree!
Vanessa: No need! I'm ready for Moneca, and I'm trustworthy too. I can't be a sneech!
Sharon: Yeah right!
Tessa: ( stands up from were she sits) Guys that's enough! You have all the time to think about this, as for me I have accepted her as a member and it's finally. Meeting dismissed. (leaves, Vanessa follows)
in hostel 260....
Vanessa: Come on, bestie. let's stroll around
Tessa: I'd love to, girl. But I got test tomorrow.
Vanessa: (convinces her even more) come on, it won't take the whole day.
Tessa: Okay, okay fine. But just five minutes. (stands up)
Vanessa: (excited) alright!
out in the field....
Vanessa: (they had a long walk around the whole campus and finally settles in the field. She is trying to obtain sympathy from Tessa) Do you think the rest will ever accept me? I mean....I don't think any of them even likes me.
Tessa: That's not true. With time they will accept you. They just need more time.
Vanessa: Can I ask a favor?
Tessa: What is it?
Vanessa: I want to be the second in command after you.... like the supervisor. You'll do that for me, would you?
Tessa: That position actually belongs to Felis, you know.
Vanessa: Well if I'm really you bestie, you'd do it for me. Would you?
Lissa: (approaches them) Hey, Tessa. We need to talk.
Tessa: Okay? Go on.
Lissa: (relunctant for a while) Our test is tomorrow, and you are not even bothered...like you've been hovering round campus with this... girl?
Vanessa: (rudely) It's Vanessa, you f**k!
Lissa: (she ignores Vanessa)...I mean.. why not we all study together at the library, just like before. The rest are waiting.
Tessa: (to Lissa) Girl please, as you can see I'm hanging out with my bestie. I will study on my own, when I get to my hostel.
Vanessa: (she says it rudely to Lissa) Got it?! let's go, girl. There's one more place we haven't gone to. (holds her, leaving Lissa behind)
Tessa: (to Lissa) Later, girl!
Vanessa: more like 'looser'
Tessa: (to Vanessa) girl?!
Vanessa: what? I'm being honest here!
both: (laughs)
Lissa: (still stands watching them as she leaves)
the next day, after exams....
Lissa: ( she walks out of the hall, spots Tessa) Tessa! how was the test?
Tessa: (angry at herself) Back off, girl. I don't want to hear anything about the test.
Lissa: Why not? What happened?
Tessa: You were right about yesterday. I mopped that whole day hanging out with Vanessa.
Lissa: Told ya. Vanessa is an influence, like Moneca......
Tessa: (interrupts) whoa whoa, hang on there. don't you ever compare her to Moneca, you don't know her like I do.
Lissa: Tessa, you haven't seen the other side of her yet. so she's a suspect, she might be a spy on us. (said it with jealousy)
Tessa: Enough okay, I need to rest. Tell those to someone else who cares to listen, cause I ain't cut out for those. (walks away)
Lissa: You won't listen to me now, Tessa! she's not the one for you!
Tessa: (while going) See y'all at later!
during lunch time....
Tessa: (to Vanessa) Girl, go ahead and tell them all what you discussed with me earlier.
Vanessa: (to the rest) Okay guys, I noticed that the name of this group is a lil bit childish. So, as the supervisor.....
Felis:....(chokes in his drink)
Vanessa:.... I came up with a suitable name.
Sharon: Wait a sec....who made you the supervisor?
James: (to Tessa) I thought Felis is the supervisor! It was you and him that came up with this whole thing, wasn't it?
Therisa: It baffles me too.
Vanessa: I know right? It's surprising, but it'll true. Anyone can be promoted, the new name for this group will be 'anti-Moneca'. what do you guys say?! you'll like it?!!
Sharon: (rudely, mocks) You wish, it's even dumber than I thought. (Everyone laughs, except Tessa).
Adams: I swear, what a cheap name. Thanks allot for the suggestion, but.....no thanks!
James: (to Vanessa) Yeah. Cause we are okay with the group name. You keep yours.
Felis: (to Tessa)I and you are the pirators of this group, I see no reason why you make decisions on your own, make a total stranger the our supervisor, and even letting her change things around here!
Lissa: Felis is right.
Vanessa: (gets annoyed) If you guys don't agree with the new development, then leave the group!!!
Felis: (gets angry, and yells as Vanessa) Shut the f**k up!!
Sharon: (adds) Yeah!
Tessa: Enough!! everyone calm down! It is final, if that's what the supervisor says, so be it! (leaves)
Vanessa: (so at them)you heard that? What I like about Tessa.
Lissa: (to Vanessa) You think i don't know that you walk for Moneca?
Vanessa: (pretends) Oh really, I thought you were smart. If it's so, why do you think I will want to be here?! (leaves)
Lissa: (to the rest) Why would she suddenly want to be Tessa's best friend? We all know they had never been in good terms. Vanessa is up to no good.
Felis: True, I thought I was the only one that noticed it. She has something up her sleeves.
Sharon: We need to be on our guards, before Tessa regrets it.
Therisa: And she is the problem. She won't let that happen. You all know how she is so obsessed and into Vanessa.
Felis: We will do it ourselves then. No information should go to Tessa, until we get rid of Vanessa.
James: Roger that!
in hostel 260....
Vanessa: (to Tessa) I'm going for night class with madam Anita, I'll return late.
Tessa: (studying for test tomorrow) Alright then, send my regards to her.
Vanessa: You're into mutual with her?
Tessa: Yeah, she came up with the whole S-force idea and stuff. Such a friendly one.
Vanessa: Hmmm.(leaves)
at Moneca's place....
Moneca: How long did it take you to bring feedbacks?
Vanessa: I had to gather enough, because Tessa has a group of her own now. Anti-Moneca.
Moneca: (scoff)
Vanessa: We need to take our first move, because her friends suspects that I am working for you. Like, can you believe it?
Moneca: It's a good thing that Tessa herself hasn't noticed anything.
Vanessa: (chuckles) How would she, when I lavish her with all the love. She thinks it's for real, she even stated all their missions to me. They want to eliminate you from the face of the campus and save the boys from you.
mixi: (laughs aloud)
Margot: (laughs too) she wanna save who?! When she won't be able to save herself from Moneca's wrath!
John: (laughs)Oh that's funny! For the first time in your life, you've talk sense.
Jem: (laughs even louder) dude!!!
Moneca: (fed up) Shut it!! (to Vanessa) And who told you to stop talking?!
Vanessa: Emmm...so I was thinking we start operations as early as possible.
Moneca: I have a plan, four friends of mine will be joining us by tomorrow. I'll humiliate Tessa so badly that the bitter taste of defeat burns in her throat!
Vanessa: I bet she'll never see it coming, poor Tessa.
Both: (laughs)
