Empire High School Episode 26 by Ademide

Wednesday Morning
Joseph’s POV
“Angella! Angella!” I called at her in an open field but she didn’t stop. I raced down from the stairs to catch up with her. I wanted to find out if she was involved in the rumor going around the school.
“Kate is a lesbian”
Someone posted it on the school page and send out a broadcast to the students.
“Angella!”
I caught up with Angella and swirled her to face me but she jerked free and slapped me across the face.
I was shocked by her response!
Students stopped to stare as they began to whisper into each others ears.
“Are you involved in the false news?” I managed to say as I fought the strong urge to hit Angella.
“And who told you everything they said about Katherine is false?!” She growled
Angella folded her arms
“You are surprised to find out that she’s a lesbian! Yes! Kate is a Lesbian! And you’ve been in love with a lesbian!”
She screamed
“Kate is not a lesbian!” I barked at her
Students gasped in shock
“I know..this is your doing! You said that you are going to deal with Kate! Are you not tired of getting rid of people because you always want to be the main one and center of attraction and attention!”
I stopped
My chest rising and falling
“I’m sick and tired to trying to figure out why you turn out to be a thorn on people’s flesh, doing nasty things to others, bullying, locking up students and.. Now..going to the extreme of digging into someone’s personal life! I hate all these..everything you are doing Angella!”
I said loudly
“So what?!”
Angella slammed her hands on my chest. I staggered backward
“I’m a bad girl! I want everything! I want to be the best! I deal with whoever steps on my toes! I don’t care about anyone except for myself! And most of all I hate Katherine Adebowale because you were so sweet on her! I hate you..Joseph James for falling for that bitch!” She said angrily
“You’re the greatest bitch I’ve ever encountered! A sly and the most dumb and foolish girl in the world! You are so stupid Angella Benson!” I said
I noticed a tear slid down her cheek as she stared at me in shock.
I knew she was involved in the case! Angella was getting back at Kate for my own crimes! And I wanted to just out an end to everything!
“Good girls don’t have to destroy anybody to get whatever they want. Anything that belongs to you will definitely find you. And If you know what is good for you, go and confess to the principal and get purnished for your crimes” I said in a low tone
Trying to control my anger.
“I’m..I’m not a criminal!” She said shakily
“You’re worse than a criminal!” I blurted
“I’m not going to admit to a crime I didn’t commit!” She shot back at me
And she wants me to believe her?
Students murmured
“And you want us to Believe you didn’t set Kate up just like how you did to me?” A loud voice said in the crowd.
I looked up and Adesewa revealed herself.
“Don’t try to deny to look good Angella. Remember you set me up in the boys toilet to get rid of me” she said
Adesewa was right!
Angella did set her up to get back at her for trying to hook up with me at Emeka’s party.
“S..stay out of this..” Angella mumbled
“Come on stop shedding crocodile tears! Mr Principal is coming for you very soon cause I already explained everything to him”
Adesewa leaned forward and stood in front of Angella with a bold stance
“I made a decision that I won’t let you destroy Kate the way you did to me. Why? Because she’s a good girl. I tried to make her work with me so we could destroy you but she declined my offer..which was a test. She passed it. And I realized that there are still good and beautiful girls in the world. Kate has the good looks and also a beautiful heart. She’s totally different from you”
Adesewa said
“Yes! You’re right!”
Someone interrupted Adesewa.
I looked beyond and Jeffrey was there! Walking towards us with Temi, Emeka, Elena and Jones behind him.
This guy? What’s he up to?
I searched for Kate but she wasn’t with them.
“Everyone listen up!” Elena said loudly
“We have sonething important to say to everyone!” Emeka announced with his hands covering his mouth so they would hear him clearly.
Jeffrey stepped forward
“Actually, the news you read on Monday is False! And fabricated by Angella and her girls just to destroy Katherine’s reputation” Jeffrey said
Student gasped in shock
Most of them were surprised to see Jeffrey talking..Some of them had never heard his voice.
“Ghost Man decided to speak up today”
Students began to whisper furiously
Ghost man defending his girl! Its no longer a news to me, i knew something was going on between Kate and Jeffrey ever since he called her “My Girl”
“That’s not true!”
Angella’s voice stunned me out of thought
“I’m innocent!” She screamed
“You posted those pictures because you are jealous of Kate!” Temi shouted
“I didn’t post..”
“Liar!” Elena screamed as she tried to get to Angella but Emeka held her back.
“Do you know Cynthia George?” Jeffrey asked
Angella didn’t respond
“Do you know Cynthia?” Jeffrey asked again
Angella was silent
“Answer him!”
“Don’t act like you are deaf!”
“You are not dumb Angella!”
Students shouted
Who is Cynthia George?
Angella looked at me
And why is she not answering?
That name might be the clue.
“Do you know Cynthia George?!” I snarled at her
“Yes..!” She cried
“Have you met her?” Jeffrey asked
“Y..Y.. Yes” she replied
“How did you get to know Cynthia George?” I asked
I knew everything about Angella but i haven’t heard of her having a friend named Cynthia George.
“Sh..She’s Caroline’s cousin” She said shakily
Jeffrey exchanged glances with his crew.
“Angella and her girls lied to everyone! Kate is not a lesbian!” Emeka shouted
“Prove it to us that Kate is not a Lesbian”
“Those pictures says it all!”
Students commented indifferently
“You’ll find out what really happened in the pictures” Jeffrey said
“When?”
“We can’t keep waiting forever!”
Emeka silenced the students
“Very soon!”
“So for now.. Everyone back to class!” Elena barked out
“No more show..Or season film” Jones said
Students grumbled
And the crew swayed into action of using the canes in their hands to make them comply.
Students ran and withdrew back to their respective classes.
“Angella, Mr Joel wants to see you” Jeffrey said with a serious face
Angella mumbled
“Go and meet the rest of your team” Temi said, sticking out her tongue at Angella.
“You won’t go Scot free Angella. Please make sure you take her to Mr Joel’s office so she won’t sneak out of school” Adesewa said before walking away
“That’s true” Elena said
I was confused
“Can anyone atleast explain what’s happening to me?” I demanded when they all made an attempt to leave with Angella
“Ask from Emeka”
They said in unison before walking away with Angella. Emeka followed them but Jones stopped him.
“Stick to the plan..” Jones pushed him back
“After..everything is settled” Emeka whispered
Jones objected with a nod
“Hey Joseph!” Jones called
“You guys should try to settle your differences!” He punched Emeka’s chest gently before running off to join the rest.
“I’ll join you soon!” Emeka shouted
Jones waved
And slowly he walked back to me. I couldn’t move away from where I stood.
“There’s nothing much about our plans” He tucked his hands into his pocket
“And we were just determined to find the anonymous poster”
Emeka scratched the back of his neck.
“Actually,Jeffrey suggested that i use Caroline to get the truth..And it worked” Emeka said with a serious look on his face.
I feel like a total stranger around him.
Suddenly guilt washed over me. And I realized that I had let my anger and jealousy ruined my friendship with Emeka.. My Bestfriend.
I should be part of that plan but its so sad that I ruined everything!
Well maybe all of this won’t have happened if I didn’t fall for Kate and try to be selfish. Now I felt like an outcast..in everything.
A deep feeling of guilt welled up again as I listened to Emeka rattled on about Jeffrey’s constructed plans.
