Episode 13
I turned back to leave, then I saw Debbie
coming. I quickly put on a smile to hide the expression on my face.
“Morning”she greeted. “Good morning. I expected you to meet with me
yesterday but you didn’t show up”I said looking at her. “Yes. I had an
emergency meeting yesterday. Sorry for disappointing you.”she said not
looking good. “Really. I have missed you. It has been long we last talk
properly ever since I left to the state. I want things back in place
huh”I said looking at her. She nodded her head in response. “OK I
understand you. You know am kind of too busy these days.”she replied.
“OK. Can you make it tonight?”I asked. “I’ll call you when I check my
schedule for today. It’s like am free tonight”she replied.
“Alright. I’ll be expecting your call”I said and she left. I left the scene heading to my office.
:
Stella’s POV
I entered the practice room and saw the girls already hanging around.
The choreographer is not yet there. Since I don’t know anybody I could
talk to, I sat alone beside the speaker.
Some were doing free style
some were laughing and chatting. I spotted three girls at a corner
looking at me and gossiping about something. When I saw the killer look
on their face, I also stared back at them badly. “I know you guys are
the one giving the poor Jenny hard time. They’re not even as pretty as
her”I thought to myself. They started coming towards me. When they got
to me, they stopped and a weird looking girl stepped forward. She was
putting on a loose long sleeve off shoulder top which was above her
abdomen and a black bum short matching with her black and white Jordan
sneakers. Her make up made her look like an evil ghost. On seeing her
weird looking face, I couldn’t help it but giggle covering my mouth with
my hand. I think that made her more annoyed. “Benny or whatever your
name is called. You better work with your brain today. You’re giving
others hard time OK?”she said folding her arms.
“Yes that’s true.
Her moves were so annoying and bad. If you find this hard, why don’t you
quit already? No one is forcing you here”another girl said. “That’s it.
It’s not compulsory you must be a dancer. Stop suffocating us horrible
moves”another one said.
“Oh my God! Is this what Jenny go through
everyday? How could she take all this insult from these mean girls.?
Well you guys are always like this. You don’t want anyone better than
you”I thought to myself. I stood up and faced them. “You, you and you”I
said pointing to them one after the other. The remaining girls around
us, stopped all they were doing and faced me. By now all attentions were
on me. But why? They didn’t do this when the girls were insulting me
but when I spoke, they all were staring at me. I ignored them and
continued. “You”I said pointing to the weird looking girl. “Did you
forget to check your mirror before coming to practice? You have to take
care of your horrible looking face before complaining about others
mistakes”I said staring at her. “You guys should find something better
to discuss. Stop wasting your time gossiping about innocent people. And
mind you, it’s Jenny not Benny ok”i added looking at the remaining
girls. They all were surprised by this.
“Has she lost her mind? What
has gotten over her? Are you sure she’s Jenny?”I heard some girls
murmuring. “Wow. You became so bold overnight. I can’t believe people
could change easily. We’ll see the horrible person here after the
upcoming performance.”she said smiling. Just then, a lady came in. She
wore a pink leggings and a black top which looks like a tube. Covering
only the chest showing her flat tummy. “I’ve seen her before. Oh she’s
the pretty model. Mr handsome crush”I thought to myself staring at her.
“Girls! Let’s start”she said moving to the front.
The three girls gave me a bad look before leaving. We all formed a three row and four column. Making twelve In number.
“Let’s see what you were taught yesterday”she said. “What should I do? I
don’t know what they were taught yesterday. How should I go about it?”I
thought to myself feeling unease.
She played the music and they
started. I was just following what they were doing but it was not
matching. The lady walks to me smiling. “Are you sure you practiced with
them?”she asked looking at me. I nodded my head in respond and
continue. The weird looking girl smiled and purposely pushed me with her
shoulder. I twisted my ankle and fell. “Ouch!” I screamed out holding
my ankle. As I fell to the ground, everyone stopped the dance and were
staring at me. The lady bent down beside me holding my hand”are you OK?
You should have be more careful”she said looking worried.
When she said that, a memory flashed to my head again.
*memory*
We were in practice room dancing to a song, suddenly I twisted my ankle
and fell to the ground. The girl I was sitting with the other day,
quickly bent down beside me holding my hand”stella are you OK? You
should have be more careful”she said having the same look as this
present lady only the hair style was different. “Stella! Debbie! Are you
guys OK?”a guy’s voice said from behind.
“Am OK. I think I overdid it”I said smiling at her. “Are you sure it’s fine?”She said and helped me up also smiling.
*reality*
As she finished the statement, her face was clear to me as she was
staring at me with those same look as then. I was so shocked by the
memory I just remembered. I was staring at her confusingly.
“Debbie?”that was all I could pronounce out.
“If she’s really the
Debbie in my memory, she might know the reason behind my death. Since
she was my best friend then. She was staring at me confusingly
Episode 14
John’s POV
I was working on some files in my office. Someone knocked on the door
and I responded the person should come in. I lifted my head to see the
person, to my surprise it was Cassandra. The outfit she put on was so
hot on her. A mini gown which fitted her body revealing those sexy
curves. The chest was half covered. Her boobs were revealing at the top.
Immediately she got in, my eyes were glued on her body as she walks
towards my desk. I promise myself not to be a player anymore but seeing
her in this tempting situation can’t let me stop. I must have her too.
Even if it’ll last two days, I have to date her.
She got to my desk
and placed the files on it. “Good morning sir. How was your night?”she
greeted as she dropped it. “Oh. It was fine and yours?”I replied
smiling. “You never ask of what I have to tell you.”she said looking at
me. “Sorry dear. I’ll like to know”I replied smiling. She moved closer
to where I was sitting and placed her hand on my shoulder smiling
seductively.

Stella’s POV
As I called her name,
everyone were silent looking at me. “Are you OK?”she asked trying to
help me up. I manage to stand up myself. “You can take 5minutes break
for now OK”she said looking at me. “OK. Thanks”I said. I left the queue
and sat somewhere looking at them from where I sat. I was staring at
Debbie as she spoke to them. When they were about starting, she looked
back at me with an unknown expression then concentrated back to the
girls.
After practice, she came to where I was sitting and sat
beside me. “Is your leg OK?”she asked looking at me. “Yes. Thanks for
your concern”I replied smiling. She sighed and was quiet for a while.
“Well, that happens ones in a while.”she said. “Dont hurt those pretty
legs again. You need to be careful OK.”she said smiling. “Oh. Really? Am
sorry for being rude back there. I mean the way I called you”I said.
“That’s nothing. You don’t need to. But the way you called me reminds me
of someone”she said smiling. I looked at her face and nodded my head.
“Is that it? Saying it with this look on your face, I could tell that
friend is far away from you or you guys lost contact”I said looking at
her. She was silent for some seconds before replying me. “She’s dead”she
said not looking at me. She has this painful expression on her face.
“Am sorry”I said feeling bad. “It’s OK.”she said smiling. “She was my
best friend when she was alive. Although I never believed she’s dead.
But all evidence said she’s dead. It was so sad and painful”she said
looking sad. I was so confused by her words. She said she can’t believe
she’s dead, but why did she say that?””I thought to myself staring at
her. “Why did you say that? Why don’t you believe she’s dead?”I asked
looking curious. She faced me with this pitiful look on her face.
“Because her body was not found”she said looking at me.
:
John’s POV
Cassandra was beside me. She asked of my phone and I started searching
for it. It was then I remembered I left it in my car. “Am sorry. I need
to get it from my car”I said. “Why don’t you give me yours instead. I’ll
save it to my phone later”I said bringing out a pen. I stretched it out
to her but she pushed my hand down gentle. “I want to type it on your
phone. Go and get it”she said smiling.
“Ok. If you wish to. Let me get it I won’t be late”I said and stood up from the seat.
“I’ll be right back”I said and walked towards the door.
Few minutes later, I got my phone and was going back to office. I was
smiling to myself as I walked towards my office. When I got to the door,
I looked through the window And I noticed Cassandra was searching
through my drawer. She searched the desk and some files on it. The look
on her face showed she was looking for something. When I saw this, my
expression changed. I wonder what she’s up to. Why’s she fumbling
through my stuffs?””I thought to myself looking annoyed. I opened the
door and she quickly went back to her standing position acting as if
nothing just happened. “You’re here”she said smiling. I walked to my
desk and arranged those files to how I kept them. She tried to touch me
but I stopped her. “Were you able to find what you were looking for?”I
asked staring at her. She was shocked to hear that from me. Her
expression changed. “What do you mean?”she asked having this innocent
look. “Who sent you?”I asked looking straight into her eyes.

Stephen’s POV
When Cassandra told me everything on how john caught her, I landed a
heavy slap on her face which made her staggered back holding the desk
behind her. “How can you be so careless? Didn’t I warned you to be
careful”I said looking at her angrily. “I won’t forgive you this time.
Be prepared to see the worst”I said looking at her. She looked up at me
begging me seriously for forgiveness. “Please spare me. I promise to do
whatever you want. Please just give me one more chance. It won’t…..”
I raised my hand to slap her again but I hanged it in the air looking
at her. I brought it down gently still boiling in anger. “One more
chance. One more chance. Am tired of that statement. Until when will I
give you those chances?”I asked looking more angry. She went down on her
kneel with tears on her face. “If I fail this time around. You can kill
me. I will bet with my life this time.”she said looking at me. I smiled
nodding my head. “Good. If you fail to gain his trust back and fulfill
your mission, I will rip out your heart and throw your dead body in the
cold river for fishes to feast on”I said looking at her in anger.
