12pm (Lunch Period) California.

Raymond sat on a short fence as he stared at Stephine pictures, waiting for his friends.

"I don't know why i keep falling for her even when it's just a planned relationship" Raymond thought in his head.

"I Can't believe i'll have to break up with her"

"But i can't leave her. I love her"

"But what about my friends, what will they think about me? That i'm weaken vessel and i can't keep to my promise" he thought in his head with tears almost dropping from his eyes but he quickly cleaned it.

She was still lost in thought and didn't notice his friends has arrived.

"Bro" Andy tapped Raymond, jerking him off his thoughts.

"What is wrong with you? You're look moody" Taylor observed.

"I'm fine." Raymond replied.

"You were staring at Stephine's pics when we entered and you didn't notice any of us. Don't tell me you're thinking about Stephine?" Andy asked.

"I'm not thinking about her" Raymond replied.

"Anyways, when are you breaking up with her?" Taylor asked.

"Is it yet time?" Raymond asked and Andy and Taylor stared at themselves confused.

"We planned on three months and it's already four months already" Taylor replied.

"I'll look for a suitable day to do that" Raymond replied.

"Remember how we planned it, you must bring her to the front of the class, tell her to her face that it's over and make jest of her. Don't forget you were the one who set your money" Andy said and winked.

"Can we go to the cafteria now? I'm hungry" Raymond said.

"You're acting wierd. What's wrong?" Taylor asked and Raymond turned and chuckled.

"You wanna know why? I'm in love with Stephine" Raymond announced as Taylor and Andy gasped.

Kristen and Stephine walked on the hallway heading to the class with a bunch of Ice cream when they came across Allyssa who was gritting her teeth in anger.

"What the he.ll do you want this time around?" Kristen asked, folding her hands akimbo.

"Which of you called my dad a fat pig?" Allyssa asked, with anger boldly written on her face.

"I Did" Kristen snapped and within a twinkle of an eye, Allyssa released an hot resounding slap at Kristen making her shivered.

The students watching gasped in shock.

Kristen's palm went to her face.

She couldn't believe it. Allyssa slapped her.

"The fact that we attend the same school doesn't give you the right to insult my father" Allyssa blasted as she tried to walk away when Stephine drew her back and wanted to slap her when she suddenly stop.

"You should thank your stars that the school authority says not fighting, else you would have regretted ever touching my sister" Stephine barked as she held her sister and walk away.

Allyssa smiled happily as she watched them leave. She was excited that students was there watching.

***********************

Helena chopped the onions in a bowl as she listened to her favourite song 'Yummy' by Justin Bieber.

Her phone started ringing and she checked her phone and discovered it was Alien. Her mood immediately changed.

She hissed loudly and continue chopping the onions.

The phone ranged and stop. Alien continue dialing the number for over five minutes so Helena dicided to check if he has something reasonable to say.

Helena picked the call with a frown on her face and awaited Alien to speak.

"Hi Helena" Alien said.

"What do you want? Why are you calling me?" Helena asked perfuntoniry.

"How are you...

"Just say what you wanna say or you get the he.ll out of my phone." Helena cut her off rudely.

"I Wanna appeal to you corcerning what hapened in my house few months ago. I've been trying to reach you but you're answering them. I..."

"Stop beating around the bush! Go straight to the damn point!" Helena rasped.

"Ok. I want us to reconcile. I want us to continue..." Alein couldn't finish his statement when Helena cut him off.

"You're very stu.pid!" Helena insulted and hanged up the call.

"Can you imangie this je.rk asking me to reconcile.

"He must have lost alot of sense" Helena said as he dropped the phone and continue preparing the food.

The call came the second time as she grab hold of the phone angrily and switched off the phone.

"Pervert!" He exclaimed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Closing Period

Stephine and Kristen watched as the students entered their varous car.

They were waiting for their driver to come but Stephine was looking around, checking if she'll see Raymond.

"Raymond came to school, right?" Stephine asked, staring at Kristen.

"Yeah, he was in school today, is there a problem?" Kristen asked, arching her brows.

"Not at all. I was just worried because we didn't have a conversation today" Stephine replied.

"Maybe he was busy" Kristen pointed out.

"Yeah"

"The driver is here" Stephine announced as Kristen grab hold of her bag and ran to the car while Stephine chuckled and followed her.

***********************

Helena was in the sitting room, watching the TV When the door burst open revealing Kristen and Stephine.

"Welcome girls" Helena greeted politely as she stood up from the couch.

"What are you doing? You're watching TV?" Stephine asked in anger.

"Don't be too harsh on her, Dad told us that she's free to watch the Tv" Kristen said to her sister.

Stephine glared at Helena as she turned and walked away angrily.

"You can continue watching your movies when we're done with our food. You should know what to do now, i'm hungry" Kristen uttered before walking away.

Helena breathe in and out as she turned and hurried to the Kitchen.

Kristen and Stephine was sitting on the dinning chair while Helena stood beside them.

"What did you prepare for lunch?" Stephine asked as she opened the plate.

"French Fries" Helena replied and Kristen smiled.

"Wow! How did you know i love French Fries?" Kristen exclaimed as she opened her plate.

"I Never knew you would love it. Thank you" Helena said as a smile crept on her face.

"What's this?" Stephine asked, having a disgusting look in her face.

"I Thought i told you the other day that i don't eat French Fries?" Stephine half yelled while Helena stared at her confused.

"You didn't tell me you don't eat French Fries" Helena stated and Stephine huffed.

"Are you tryna say i'm lying?" Stephine asked and scoffed.

"No ma'am" Helena replied almost immediately.

"Take this f**king thing away and prepare me some noddles!" Stephine yelled.

"I'll have to report you to dad if you use the F-word again" Kristen warned.

Helena quickly took the plate filled of French Fries and hurried to the Kristen.

"Stephine, you're one he.ll of a liar. Why did you tell the maid that you don't eat Friench Fries when you and i know that it's one of your best food?" Kristen asked, itching her nape.

"I Did it to make her feel frustated." Stephine replied.

"I Think you'll have to stop that" Kristen said, taking a bite from the French Fries.

"I Thought we made a promise to ourself that we'll frustrate her so she can get out our life?" Stephine asked.

"Yeah. But i think we'll have to stop that. I mean, she isn't a pain in our ass anymore. She cooks good food, she's pretty, she's decent, very punctual, she is not arrogant and she doesn't get angry at us. What else do you want from her?" Kristen explained.

"I Hate her. That's final!" Stephine concluded.

"The noddles is ready" Helena announced as she dropped the plate of noodles.

"What took you so long?"

"I'm sorry. I was just..."

"Keep the damn Excuses to yourself!" Stephine cut her off rudely.

She dug from the plate of nodles and eat a spoon of it which she immediately spat out.

"What's wrong?" Helena asked with affection.

"There's a lot of damn pepper in the damn noodles!" Stephine roared.

"But i added just half spoon of pepper, how how it's too much?" Helena asked in a confused tone.

"Are you seriously asking me that? Take this shit away and get me some tea" Stephine commanded.
