"Let's get inside" Richard said.
"Wait. I can't do this,go for Tiana." Ella said with a straight face.
"Are you for real, Ella?" Richard asked.
"Yes,I don't want to be humiliated and bullied day by day because of you,I like you too, but I need to let go of any form of feelings I have for you. I'm sorry Richard, just go for her." Ella said as a drop of tear dropped from Richard's eyes.
"Ella, please don't do this me, don't break my heart." Richard said with a pleading tone.
"I can't do this, I'm sorry." Ella said as she entered the house.
All eyes were on her.
Tiana continued to sing as her squad danced to the rhythm of the song.
Richard came in with a sad face, Tiana moved closer to him.
★she has rejected you★
★Right, she's our enemy★
★Come to me, let's start afresh all alone with you★
★I love you★
Tiana took Richard up as he also stood up.
He danced with her.
*What?!* Rayson thought unbelievably.
*Is this for real?* Ella thought.
*Wow, I'm having him.* Tiana thought.
*Ella,is this a dream?* Emily thought to herself.
★Tiana,I accept you★
★Thank you for calling me★
★Be my girlfriend★
★I love you★
*Richard,I thought he was for Ella* one person said.
*He couldn't even wait for five minutes, he's such a cheater* another sad.
**9pm
The party ended, Ella, Emily, Rayson and Richard entered their car and left Tiana's house.
"Hey poor thing." Richard said half-drunk.
"Who?!" Rayson, Emily and Ella asked at the same time.
"She knows herself." Richard said as they ignored him.
"He's probably drunk." Ella said as she scoffed.
"Don't you dare say such of me you poor thing." Richard said as he slammed her face.
"What?!" Ella said as she started crying.
"Richard, what's wrong with you,why will you slap Ella on her face, what has she done wrong just this night." Rayson asked.
"She's done so much, broken my heart, disappointed me,and disgraced me." Richard said.
"We're here." Rayson said as Ella got down from the car.
"Bye, Emily." Ella said.
"Bye." Emily said.
"Get off." Richard said with a Stern face and tone.
"I hate you." Ella said with a straight face.

Ella entered the house, everyone was asleep,she went to her room,and burst into tears.
*Tiana finally got what she wanted* Ella thought.
Ella's POV
Today is a bad day.
How will Richard slap me on my face?
He can't get away with this.
Suddenly I'm a poor thing.
Guess he also has the same behaviour as James's own.
James called me a poor thing in presence of his friends, after attempting to r**e me.
Boys are scums.
My diary must record this day
'Today,the second boy who called me a poor thing is RICHARD. He asked me out this evening, after some minutes,he called me a poor thing,I HATE RICHARD!'
**Monday morning
**White High
**SS3c
"Good morning everyone". The class teacher said.
"Good morning ma." The students replied as they stood up.
"Have your seat." She said.
"Thank you ma." The students chorused.
"Your test is in few weeks time, I'll imply you to read earnestly" She said.
"Have a nice day." She said with a smile.
"Thank you ma." The students chorused as she left.
" Good morning everyone,I hope you all enjoyed the party, meet my boyfriend, Richard." Tiana said as they kissed each other in front of the class.
*What has gotten into him?* People thought.
*He's heartbroken,I don't blame him* Ella thought.
*I have to do this,to ease my mind, she's going to change through me.* Richard thought.
"Hey girls." Richard waved to the squad.
"Hey." Mia and Eliza replied smiling.
"Thanks for realizing that being with Ella is a waste of time,you made the right choice for choosing Tiana." Mia said.
"Thanks girls." Richard said.
"You're always welcome." Eliza said.
**Lunch break
**Empty class
"Ella, what's happening,I seem not to understand." Emily said.
"Understand what?!" Ella asked as she arched her brows.
"Richard, that changed suddenly overnight, doesn't seem abnormal?" Emily asked with all seriousness.
"That's none of my business,we should learn to face our business." Ella said with a Stern face.
"Ella,you should talk to Richard." Emily said teasingly.
"Emily Please don't spoil my good mood with Richard's name,I hate him with passion." Ella said angrily.
"But-" Emily said as Ella cut her off.
"But what,do you think I asked for this? I didn't beg any rich boy to talk to me,now I'm the one at fault? Isn't it? You know what, I'm out of here,you can sit here and keep thinking of someone who's not worth our time." Ella said as she left angrily.
*Have I said anything wrong?* Emily asked herself.
**Cafeteria
Emily saw Ella alone on their usual table.
She went there and sat down.
"Hey bestie." Emily said as Ella ignored her focusing on her cupcakes.
"I'll have this one." Emily said as she took one of the cupcakes. Ella ignored her too.
"Ella, I'm sorry, okay?" Emily said pouting but Emily ignored her totally.
"I'm sorry, please, bestie,my ride or die,my gist partner,my sister." Emily said as Ella began to laugh.
"I forgive you darling, enough with the sweet words." Ella said as they laughed in unison.
"I was so scared, that I have said something wrong,you know I love you." Emily said.
"I love you more." Ella said as she stretched her cupcakes to Emily.
"Thanks baby girl" Emily said as she gave her a thumb up.

"Girls,I told you,I get what I want, nobody can stop what I want." Tiana said smiling.
"Congratulations." Mia said.
"I'm so happy for you." Eliza said.
"Thanks girls." Tiana said.
"I bought a pink dye." Mia said.
"That's nice,for what?" Tiana and Eliza asked.
"To deal with that poor thing." Mia said.
"That's quite reasonable of you sweetie." Tiana said.
"Let's try it on her then." Eliza said as they moved towards Ella's table.
They poured the dye on her.
But to their surprise,the dye drained down without staining a strand of her hair.
"Are you surprised?" Ella asked as she and Emily mocked them.
"Ella,you don't know who you're messing with." Tiana said smiling.
"It also goes to you."Ella said laughing.
"If you try to touch or hurt me, I'll show you what I'm made of." Ella said in a harsh tone.
"Really?" Mia and Eliza asked.
"Yeah, really,I might be the poor thing you all knows me to be, but I can assure you that if you try to bully me or hurt I'll deal with you myself." Ella said as as her and Emily left them in the cafeteria.
*I love this.* One student said.
*Those wicked squad deserved the embarrassment*
The squad left the cafeteria after various mockery.
**Anonymous
"You have to get her,else you'll lose your life."
"Yes master" James replied.
"That's my boy."
They laughed evilly.
