You runs in my Blood

Chapter. 2. Screwed.

BLAIR. Pov

Three nights ago was a whole lot of mess and stress for me. I reported sick so I stayed home. Mandy never believed me being sick but she respected my decision. I thought that reporting being sick and skipping school for three days could make Hendric called or come check on me. But all to no avail. He neither called nor texted. Didn't even give a s**t about me. Mandy was somehow right about him. He doesn't feel the same way for me as I do for him. Mandy and I walked down the road looking for a taxi to drop us to school. I was so excited going to school but remembering lots of notebooks am going to borrow to make up for four days out of school out of lectures made it looked like punishment. Every now and then I kept checking my phone hoping Hendric would call or maybe I missed his call while asleep but that dude never called. Finally a taxi drove in our way and we hoped in. We drove all the way to school in silence and finally Mandy broke the silence.

"Pay mine too. Have no cash on me" she said

"So how do you intend to stay the rest of the day" I asked

"Don't worry I'll withdraw after this morning lecture" she said. She had 8.00 am lecture and we were abit late. My lectures started by 10.00 am every Tuesday and ended by 2.00 pm, 3 lectures to go for today. 2 lectures at same class and 1 in a different class. Mandy's precisely. As we walked pass the school gate a car horned behind us we ran across it and stood by to know the driver. Looking at the car park, the car drove in and parked and it took minutes for the person to come out and I dragged Mandy to know who drove such an expensive car. I wasn't a novice atferall. I don't have a car but I know expensive car when I see one coupled with everyone looking and screaming "Wow this is cool money" even Hendric as rich as he is don't drive such car nor does his Parents. The driver drove pass us. I dragged Mandy to a parking lot and we stood behind a wagon. This is a customized spot car with tainted glass. White in colour no scratch and it looks so new as if it was just coming out for the first time. I must have to see the owner of this car. Some cars don't fit the owner. At times the case will be like the owner car-napped the car or the car man-napped the owner while at time, it looks like one is slaving the other. Hendric looks like a prodigal son to his car while his car have this picture of a lost hope on Hendric.

We waited but surprisingly Blanca was stepping out of the front passenger seat and kissing whosoever she was with.

"Wow is that Blanca?" I ask surprisingly

"Certainly" Mandy said

"How... Have you seen her before in it?" I asked lacky

She shrugged "No. Who doesn't know Blanca and her girlfriend"

"Her girlfriend?" I replied confused

"Yes. Her girlfriend Felicity. A very rich kid here in our school. she is my coursemate" Mandy said.

"Your coursemate, Blanca's girlfriend and you haven't said anything about them or her" I attacked. Everyday after school Mandy and I always talk about school and its fun and how everyone we know behaved in lectures. But she has never mentioned that name to be before and so it sounded knew and foreign to me, Felicity.

"Lemme see what made Blanca picked her" I said as I walked closer. I know Blanca well, everybody was ugly in her sight even though I knew that I am more prettier than she was. My only crime was that I never had nice clothes. The once I had I bought them along time ago and my brother bought some for me too. Whenever I snapped some pictures with my phone and sent to him for them to see I was doing well. He would complained that he did not like my cloth that it was either old or lacky or tartered so he would bought some and sent to me. When I met Mandy newly she used to buy clothes for me too but I forbade her from doing it. I never wanted to impose anything on her so I threatened to break our friendship if she did not accept me as I am. She knew I could never dream of that and I wouldn't dare but she respected my decision. "You are naturally beautiful" she used to tell me "cloth or no cloth, makeup or not, you are a goddess". As I looked, I was imagining the goddess or the marmaid that could befit Blanca's taste since nobody is good enough for her. She carried herself so high as the queen of the state, so naughty. She always made everyone looked like s**t, like nothing else mattered except her. We all knew that she was from a poor background more like me but she spent like a rich kid, like her dad was the president of the state. Her acts of spending intimidated us that no one ever dared to asked her how she made those money. "Now I know the secret and it's her rich girlfriend" I thought. "How did she get this lucky. Blanca is a bad girl and she doesn't deserve something good like her rich girlfriend who drives her off to School. Well, who gets to decide what one deserves or who get who or who get what". Knowing what I do passed through with Hendric anytime I asked him to drop me off to school made me jealous of Blanca.

"I'm off to lecture B" Mandy notified.

All these thoughts running through my mind I didn't even hear or notice Mandy when she leaves. I turned to walk away.

"Hey Blair" Blanca greeted

"Hey you too" I replied

"You were looking at me before do you want something?" she asked and I didn't even know that she saw me looking.

"I... Em... I..." I stammered.

"Baby you forget your book" that was Felicity's voice. I reshaped my stand to look at her. "Oh my God" that was all I could utter. She was undeniably beautiful. Both goddess and marmaid at once. She was a real life marmaid, the only different was that instead of tail, her creator made a mistake and gave her long legs which pillared the rest of her bodyfit. Her black long hair befitting her white color. This girl was beautifully and wonderfully made. The scripture was right and Felicity was a prove. My jaw dropped and I couldn't take my eyes off her, even my breath was completely taken away by her beauty. Though she wasn't looking at me but I felt like she was staring at me from the eyes of her heart and so I smiled at her.

"Hello" she greeted.

She had a silver voice which made her voice sexy and romantic. She doesn't need to fix her voice before talking to a anybody or to collect something from somebody 'cause her voice was naturally fixed.

"H...h...hello" I stammered again.

"Baby this is Blair and Blair she is Felicity my girlfriend and I saw you jaw dropped, don't even think of it she's off market... we are engage" Blanca introduced us. "What was it you wanted to say?" Blanca returned back to me.

"I wanted to collect yesterday's notes from you" I managed to say.

"Which one because there are many lectures you missed. You skipped 4 days of lectures with 3 tests. Do you know that? What will you do with those tests since they are not makeovers" she ask menacingly. Always acting like a study carer in front of people who don't know her when she don't give a s**t about school. Blanca is an anti-study, anti-lecture and a schooler but here she is painting herself on me in front of her girlfriend who will be stupid to believe her.

"Why were you not in school, were you sick? Felicity ask and I sense worried in her voice.

" No I was" couldn't bring myself to say I was at my boyfriend's place or that I skipped school because of him" Yes I was sick but I'm fine now. I lied. "Please can I have BUS 306 and 302" I requested

"Here" Blanca handed me BUS 306 "I will only give you one and when you finish and return it then you get another" and she whispered in my ear "who knows when you will be stuck at your boyfriend house again" she said pridely. I don't know how she got that information but I overlooked it.

"Baby why not give her all she..." Felicity said

"Babe you can now go to work you are running late. Just take care of yourself for me okay" Blanca snorted and went to kiss Her as I watched 'cause I believe she wanted me to see her. She kissed Felicity right on her mouth wagging her tongue inside Felicity's mouth. Angrily I turned and walk off. Walking to my class Felicity horn to tell me bye as she drove off. As I walked into the class all eyes were on me and I hear some murmuring "The maid is in class today" while others were saying "Wow, here comes the slut" Not knowing what to say or do, I walk to an empty chair and sat down. The person sitting close to me was Peter, one of Hendric friends. He was resting his head on the desk while waiting for lecture to begin. We rarely talk in class so I never new he was Hendric friend. Befriending a guy outside my class I thought it would cool off some ground gossip but school being school and here Peter is my classmate, I really have become a case study.

"What did you tell the class?" I attacked Peter believing that he told the class I was in Hendric house on Monday, if not why would they call me maid and slut.

"Like what?" he asked intensely.

"Everybody is looking at me calling me maid and slut. Obviously they know what happened. How dare you disregard me this way? I slammed.

"And what happened?" he asked faking it.

"Jesus Peter, are you kidding me right now?" I asked frustrated. I am very frustrated right now and this guy is playing with me, he is really calling for my trouble.

"Why did you tell everyone that I was at Hendric's place?"

"Oh Jesus, What! Are you that frustrated that you look for who to blame for your stupid act?" Peter blasted. As our voices started raising up little by higher. Everyone started staring at us listening to our arguments. So now I Blair Drille is fully an open book for everyone to read with their wit understanding.

"Don't you dare deny it and don't call me stupid again. Who else knew I was at Hendric's place on Monday in this class if not you?" I screamed having known that there is nothing to hide anymore

"So does that make me the culprit, huh? Because I saw you there?" Peter said staring at me "Jesus...Blair look... think very well. We were five at his place on Monday you making us six and out of the six of us, it's me you picked to blame for your frustrated life. You know what? I can't do this now. I'm outta here" he said and stood to walk away, I dragged him down..

"Oh holy s**t! Blair what the f**k do you want from me?"

"I want to know why you did that" I said

"Did what Blair?"

"Why did you screw my life?" I asked still frustrated.

"I have never screwed you over Peter. Whatever or however you live your life has always being your f*****g business. I've never intruded or interrupted you. Peter why, why do you want to ruin my life?" I cried out.

"I did not ruin your life Blair and incase you've forgotten, whatever you choosed to do with your life is also your f*****g business" He reminded me.

"Peter I'm screwed" I cried with a low voice

"I did not screw you Blair" he reassured

"My life is ruined, Peter why?"

"Your life huh? Was it that important to you when you threw yourself at him? Did you remember you had a life, a life of your own before you started living his?" Peter busted out in anger being tired of my stupid accusations.

"Why don't you ask your stupid boyfriend who's been running his mouth saying he had you at his disposals, telling everyone that you are his toy he plays with whenever however" he yells

"What? I don't believe you Peter" I defend uncertainly. "How can you say such a thing against your friend?"

"A friend who doesn't defends or regards a friend is not my friend" he quoted

"You think am accusing him? Alright. Hendric was here on Wednesday busting what his money can do and how he threw money at you and you stayed home and cooked for him and he f****d and played with your body in the bathroom while we waited for him for lunch. Did that not happened?" He asked

" Peter" I called.

But he was so pissed at me and I wanted him to slow down but I have angered him beyond.

"he said you are his slut that he just have to throw money at you and you do all his biddings. He has been blabbing this since Wednesday and this morning too here in your class before Blanca came and took him away"

He stood up, looked at me and sat down again with a look of disappointment and concerns in his face. And now he is calm and I can say we are now discussing an issue, my issue precisely.

"Blair what kind of game are you playing with him? How can he be throwing money at you for almost one year and you still look this ratched and tartered?" he said with sincere concern in his voice. Peter shows concern and I believe I owe him an answer.

"I'm not playing any game with him. I loved Hendric. I love him. All I did with him was love because he's my boyfriend. All I did was to show him love. I've never asked of any money from him but he offered freely to me" I said pathetically.

"Blair can't you see? Your interest and his interest here are not the same" He cautioned. "he came here looking for me but when he couldn't sight you, he asked and I quote 'where is my slut? where is Blair? Hope she's not out there doing a n****r's bids and f*****g him 'cause my Money is still bigger, I can offer higher you know. Am I right Peter?' he continued" can you see?, you called him your boyfriend but he called you his slut" Peter outed with remorse.

"What do you want me to do Peter? I can't just leave him, he won't allow me" I voiced out

"He never had you Blair. You were just throwing yourself at him and he started using you. If you stop he will stop. Show yourself some respect 'cause that thing you have for him is not love" He lectured

"What is love then Peter?" I asked not knowing what else to say.

"Blair love is Happiness-Pain-Happiness and what you're experiencing is pain and disrespect all through my dear"

Peter talked to me and poured out all his heart to me. He talked to me like I am his own, like we are our own which only Mandy and my brother could have done if I let them. My twin brother Kingsley addressed me like his kid sis and he has taken our family responsibilities upon himself caring for dad, mum and me excluding himself. I respected him so much for that and I dared not talk when he's angry 'cause I knew the sacrifices he' d been making for all of us.

Peter placed his right hand on my shoulder and asked.

"What do you see in him that you can't see in others? He's frickingly rich but don't give a s**t about you. He's not rich enough to change your wardrobes but rich enough to f**k you and made you his fricking cook". Peter was pouring his heart out to me and I was ashamed to even shift my leg or look at him so I buried my face on my desk. I never knew he has been this observant but never talked much.

"You've been with him for like close to a year 9 months precisely but you still wear the same clothes you came here with. Everyday you put on this filthy rag" he draw my gown "parading in school with your flag so high titled "I'm dating Hendric" when you obviously know that he's playing with you. I thought you were smart Blair, I worshiped you so much in our year one but now I can't even look at you because I'm ashamed of myself for having ever admired someone like you. You're a sucker for love. Are you that desperate for love? "

I became so cold. My legs has been blocked and my body turned ice. I opened my mouth and closed it, opened it again and closed. Tears ran down my cheeks from my eyes. Peter offered his handkerchief and left me knowing that I needed that moment alone.
