" Devon Franklin!!!" Zara Brock's screamed loudly immediately she sat down and a bucket of paint was poured all over her.
She screamed his name because she knew that there was only one person that could have done that to her and it was none other than her childhood friend Devon Franklin.
Students in the other classes that heard her scream stood up from their sits and rushed out of their various classes to Zara's class they knew without anyone telling them that the two friends were at it again, they burst into laughter when they saw the brown skinned Zara have been turned into a white skinned Zara because of the white paint all over her.
The culprit Devon was at the front of the class laughing hard and uncontrollably , his honey coloured childhood friend had turned into a white girl damn it was really hilarious he clutched his stomach laughing hard.
Then a thought occurred to him and he took out his phone and took a shot of her and posted it on all of his social media accounts.
Zara angrily stood up from her seat and marched to the laughing Devon and glared hard at him. She really needed to pay him back for what he just did to her damn she was putting on her favorite t-shirt which was formerly his by the way until she converted it.
A devilish idea popped into her mind. She knew how much Devon loved looking good and how much he loved his hair, no one dares to touch it unless you wanted trouble at your doorstep. He takes care of his hair like a woman or maybe even more than women does.
Devon kept on laughing but in the next seconds his laughter seized as Zara hugged him burying her fingers which had white paint in them into his hair.
" Ahhh Zara Brock's!!!" Devon screamed as Zara used her hands which he knew was coated in paint to touch his hair.
There was nothing he could do but glare at her as she released him from the hug laughing at her hand work, he felt like crying for goodness sake she just used her hands stained with paint to touch his precious hair if it was only his clothes it won't bother him too much but she freaking touched his hair!!!
Zara stopped laughing and the two of them glared at each other then hugged and marched out of the class angrily with the other students' laughter trailing after them.
They walked to their locker which unfortunately was beside each other, they both opened their lockers and brought out a neat set of clothes ,slammed their lockers shut , glared at each other and away in the opposite direction. Zara to the female's bathroom and Devon to the male bathroom.
They both took their bath in the bathroom, washing their hair thoroughly to take out the paint in it. After that they changed into the beat clothes and came out almost at the same time. They both walked to their locker, put the clothes stained in paint in it inside and slammed it shut, locked it and walked back to their class.
When that got to the door of their class they saw that a teacher was inside and this made Zara to turn and glared at Devon who ignored her glare opened the door and bounced inside the class acting like he didn't see the teacher at the front of the class.
The male teacher glared at Devon but said nothing Devon's father owns the school so he did anything he wanted and got away with it.
" Good morning Mr Bradley" Zara greeted the teacher as she walked into the class to her sit
" Morning," he answered, " where are you coming from?" He asked with a scowl
Zara was one of the brightest students in the school and she was usually early to class so he was surprised that she was late but seeing her coming into the class with Devon he was so sure that something had happened again between the two again; this is the first day of resumption for goodness sake.
He was hoping that they would stop playing pranks on each other, students and teachers in the school but he wasn't so sure it would ever happen, for God's sake this is their last year in high school.
" I was having runny stomach so I went to use the bathroom " Zara lied and her classmates snickered.
Even though Mr Bradley didn't believe he decided to let it drop and went back to teaching the class.
All through Mr Bradley's class and the ones that followed Devon and Zara kept on glaring at each other like they were in a glaring contest, Zara listened with half mind to everything that was taught but Devon didn't even listen at all no wonder he usually came last in the class tests and exams.
If Mr Bradley noticed their glaring contest he said nothing.
"You should have seen your face when the paint was poured all over you girl, it was hilarious". Penelope said laughing as she sat down with Zara at the cafeteria during lunch time and Zara glared at her
" Oops touche " Penny said still laughing all the while ignoring the glare Zara was throwing her way
" He is a fool" Zara said
" No girl he is a genius" said penny still laughing
" You are an idiot in fact the both of you are idiots you are supposed to be sympathizing with me not supporting that idiot today is the first day of resumption for goodness sake" Zara told penny
" Awnnn sorry honey" penny told her with feigned sympathy
"So you would have been happy if he had wait till tomorrow don't worry I will make sure to pass that message onto him"
Zara just rolled her eyes and decided to ignore her friend.
The Cafeteria became noisy as Devon walked in with his friend Victor not that it wasn't noisy before but the noise increased as he came in and Zara was sure that they were talking about what he did to her this morning.
'fools' Zara wanted to scream but bit her tongue and held herself from doing it.
Devon sauntered to the table Zara and penny were sitting and Devon placed his hand on Zara's shoulder and leaned down so that his face was close to hers
" Hi honey" Devon drawled in a British accent using the name he usually called her since that were kids, he always say that her skin was the color of honey so to him the name honey suited her more than Zara.
Victor Devon's friend went to kiss his girlfriend penny
Zara shook his hands off her shoulder angrily. " Leave me alone
" Is someone angry?" Devon asked in a singsong voice
" Hey sweetheart wanna go do something sweet ?" asked a voice that belongs to none other than Ingrid James the school slut as she linked her hand through Devon's arm
Zara rolled her eyes in disgust. Everything about the girl screamed fake, fake lashes, fake hair and many more that Zara didn't want to mention.
. " Will be back honey don't choke on your food while i'm away cause i'm the only one allowed to kill you" having said that Devon marched away with Ingrid in tow clinging to him and wriggling her tiny waist so hard like a maggot that will get broken if care is not taken.
" Fools" Zara muttered as she watch them leave
" How was your day Zara?" Victor asked sarcastically and penny burst into laughter again
" Baby stop that" Penny said still laughing but for another reason now because Victor began to tickle her side and Zara stood up angrily and walked to the female's bathroom leaving the two love birds alone she will surely pay Devon back in his own coin and she have just the perfect plan for it.
. Zara pushed the door of the bathroom open and began to hear moaning noises ,damn the stupid students that attends this school.
" Fass... ....faster..... baby a.m am going to...ahhh.." came Ingrid's voice and Zara immediately knew it was that idiot Devon that was in the toilet with her so that was the sweet thing.
Zara was not at all surprised she knew Devon was a player through and through but couldn't they at least wait till school was over and go to a hotel. Zara hissed in annoyance and left the bathroom without doing what she went there to do in the first place.
Zara walked out of the school hallway to the school parking lot where she knew that Devon will waiting to drive her home and saw that he was surrounded by his fan girl's, damn she was not in the mood the fight with any one of them and that fake bitch Ingrid is there and she knew that Ingrid will not be happy to see her get in Devon's car which he named after her honey the name he usually calls her.
No one apart from her, Penny and Victor have ever gotten into his honey; they were the only ones who have entered the car. Many girls will kill to enter his sports car and it was the latest edition. You can touch it and take a selfie standing or leaning close to it but that could only happen when Devon is not watching.
" Ready to go home honey?" Devon asked when she got close to them
" Damn right I am"
" Hey brown bitch wassup?" Ingrid sneered at her
" Now don't you go around calling my honey a bitch" Devon snapped at Ingrid and Zara smirked at her
Ingrid never liked Zara because she was too close to the guy she loves for her comfort and liking. She knew that their family were close friends and that they grew up together and all that bullshit but what she will never understand was why Devon was always supporting her even when he took pleasure in bullying and playing pranks on her .
He never lets any girl into his car, not even the girl he was sleeping with but lets Zara in and even lets her drive the car damnit what did Zara give to him so that she will do the same and maybe he will look at her the way he looks at Zara.
Zara continue to smirk at Ingrid and watch happily as smoke came out of the girls eyes but of course Ingrid can't do anything to her ,Zara took her eyes of the angry Ingrid and looked at Devon
" Are we going or not?" She asked, cocking her head to one side and sticking her hips out.
" Common move it ladies I gotta take my honey home now we will continue from where we stop tomorrow" Devin said as he began to shoo the girls away. Most of them especially Ingrid glared at her but they moved anyway if looks could kill Zara would have been buried by now
He continue to lean on the car looking at her after the girls left
" How do you expect me to get in? Do I have to pass through you?"
" You can try" Devon smirked at her ,dragged her to him and snaked his left arm around her tiny waist. " you made me chase all of them away so why don't you represent them huh?"
" Leave me alone bastard" Zara gritted her teeth .
She wasn't feeling okay with his hands on her waist it was something she was supposed to be used to by now because he was always looking for ways to touch her and he especially like holding her waist because according to him it was very tiny and fits into his arms but she didn't know why she wasn't comfortable with it up until now.
" Get your filthy hands off me you man whore" she struggled to free herself from him but the arm around her waist tightened and continued to hold her.
Devon smirked as he watched Zara struggling to free herself from him pushing at his chest with those tiny hands of hers. One thing she didn't know was that she can never be free from him. Devon used his free hand to reach down and squeeze her ass which he thinks is too big for her small and tiny frame.
Devon wasn't prepared for what came next. Zara freed himself from his hands and kicked him hard on his groin. Devon clutched in between his knees as he dropped to the ground groaning in pain.
Zara used that opportunity to shove her hand into his pants pocket where she knew that the car key will be and collected it, she quickly ran to the driver's side opened the door and got in, she inserted the key into the ignition and as the car engine roared to life Zara speed off and out of the school with Devon's car leaving him there on his knees in the school parking lot with his hands between his legs.
Devon heard a female and a male laughter and looked up to see Victor and Penelope laughing hard, dammit he was never going to hear the end of this from his friends.
Was that Zara's payback for pouring the white paint on him? If it was then damn it was much worse than what he did to her he would have preferred the white paint to be poured all over him than this.
What if she had done permanent damage? How would he be able to pleasure her in the future like he planned on doing? What if he couldn't get her pregnant later? The thought alone made him panic.
" Man you shouldn't have done that"
Devon snapped out of his thoughts and glared at Victor, God he has the most useless set of friends instead of helping him up and sympathizing with him they were busy laughing their asses off.
" Zara is a genius for kicking you there. How could you use those hands of yours that you have use to touch Ingrid to touch her" Penny's laughter seized and she scowled at him
As the pain in between his legs began to lessen he struggled to his feet
"That was some mighty kick man am sure she would have done a permanent damage and there will be no little Playboy Devon in the future" Victor's laughter increased as he watched his friend struggle to stand up
Devon glared at Victor and his girlfriend before limping to Victor's car, he opened the back door and entered closing the door after him.
" Are you guys going to keep laughing it are going to get you little asses here and drive me home" he asked from the car rudely .
" You should be begging us to drive you home not talking to us like that" penny snapped
Devon caught sight of the car keys sitting in the ignition in the car and rolled his window down he poked his head out and smirked at his friends
" I don't need to beg you guys to drive me home ya know not when the key is in the car of course I won't beg I will just drive myself home what do you guys think huh?" Devon smirked wickedly
Victor touched his pants pocket and discovered that his car key was truly not with him but inside the car.
" Damn it" he swore under his breath
It was Devon's turn to laugh as he watched his friends jump into the car quickly, Victor to the driver's seat and Penny to the front passenger seat while Devon sat at the back like he was the owner of the car .
Victor started the car and glared at Devon at the back seat through the rearview mirror and Devon knew that his friend was fantasizing about punching his face.
"Oh my dear victor don't even think about punching my face because I don't think that my fan girl's will be happy to see bruises on my face they will surely come after you ya know" Devin said mockingly trying to irritate Victor and get back at him for laughing at what Zara did to him.
" Shut up man before I really punch you"
Zara drove with high speed into the houses in Royalty's estate which was a home only the rich , wealthy and ones with connections could afford to live in. Devon's house was ten houses away from her father's mansion
Zara parked the car outside her gate and came down one of the security at the gate opened it and she raced inside she knew that Devon will be on his way now she couldn't risk him catching her so she can't let him meet her outside
" Hey Mom" Zara called as she rushed to her mom who was seated on a single couch in the sitting room and pecked her cheeks then rushed up the stairs to her room. She entered her room, locked her door and collapsed in her bed breathing heavily thank God she was safe in the sanctuary of her room
Felicia Brocks stared at her daughter as she ran with full speed up the stairs in to her room that was so unlike her, Zara will always sit with her anytime she came back for school and they will talk because once Zara goes to her room she will lock herself up and not come down till it was time for dinner.
She didn't even ask for her dear father nor did she ask for food which was her normal routine. Her daughter only greeted her today, pecked her cheeks and ran up to her room. Was Zara okay??
Well she looked okay to her but she appeared to be running away from something or someone? and there was only one person in the world that could make her dear Zara run like that. It was none other than Devon, her best friend.
'What has Zara done this time around?' Felicia mused
Can't these children stop playing pranks on each other and Instead get together like she and her friend Leila Devon's mother wanted. What will it take to make these kids realize their feelings and start dating each other?
Felicia walked up the stairs and into her bedroom and walked to the window where she could see anything outside her gate from. She saw Devon's car was still parked outside and wondered what the boy was still doing there. Why was he not going home or coming inside?
As she was still busy asking herself those questions and trying to find answers another sport car pulled to a stop at the gate beside Devon's car and Devon came down and waved at the person inside the car and the person he was waving to drove off towards the estate's gate.
She watched as Devon put his hands on his hips and glared up at the gate like it was Zara and more questions came up in her mind: why was he coming down from someone else's car when his own car was parked in front of the house already? Was he not the one that drove Zara home?
Felicia put one and two together and burst into laughter. Oh God her daughter snatched his car key and drove herself home leaving him behind at school no wonder she was running like the devil itself was after her well maybe Devon was the devil.
She watched Devon as he angrily stomped to his car, got in and drove off. Right from when Devon and Zara were kids Devon never lets any other boy get close to Zara.
She remembered a scene vividly like it was yesterday but actually it was 13 years ago when Zara was celebrating her fifth birthday and Devon beat up a boy because Zara said the boy was really cute and the boy touched her hair.
He has always been jealous seeing his honey talking to any guy apart from him she knew that the boy was In love with Zara but how long will it take before he finally confesses to Zara and asks her out was the question she has no answer to what if someone takes her away along the way?
Devon was just like his father who was also a Playboy in his teenager days who fell in love with her best friend Leila but was too much if a chicken to ask her out and nearly beat a boy to a comatose state for kissing her before he finally asked her out she prayed that the same won't go for Devon and Zara she was going to make damn sure of it.
She has just the perfect plan and just needs to talk to Leila and everything will be settled and then their wish will come through.
She wants her daughter to be like every other child her age, have a boyfriend, go out on dates , picnics and have fun like other eighteen years old that she was not stay locked up in her room reading God knows what
Damn she was just like her nerd of a father but at least she was not insisting on wearing all those big glasses like her father did in his high school days. The only time her precious daughter ever went out was when Devon forcefully drags her along with him anywhere he was going to, be it parties or lunch and Felicia was grateful
But she wants more, so much more
Devon parked his car in the driveway way and came down slamming the car door shut. He walked into his house and met his parents in the living room in a deep discussion, his mother was in his father's lap and he was not surprised because they were always like that will all lovey dovey after almost nineteen years of marriage.
" When is Devon going to do it am tired of waiting he is just like you in that aspect" his mother was telling his father glaring playfully at him
"Well it's not my fault he choose to be like his father" his father smirked at his mother "he is his father's son after all"
" When am I going to do what?" Devin asked curiously and his parents turned to look at him
" My baby is back come give mommy a hug" Leila told her son opening her hands wide for him
Devon smiled at his mother then smirked at his father as he walked to his mother who was still sitting on his father's laps and hugged her kissing her cheeks when he tried to kiss his mother's nose his father pushed him away and glared at him.
"Go get yourself a wife but until then don't touch mine" his father snapped at him
Theodore does not know how long he will keep telling his son to stay away from his wife. Any time he remembered his mischievous little son who will cry all night like a baby saying that he couldn't sleep alone
His wife will leave him in a cold and empty bed to sleep in his room he will feel like hitting him or how little Devon will slip in between he and his wife in the night and wrap his arms around Leila while leaving him to sleep with his arms empty but now that his son was all grown up he wouldn't let that happen again.
" But she is my mother first and then your wife," Devon said sweetly and smirked when he saw the scowl on his father's face.
Before they could start an argument that was not new to Leila she butt in. " How is my baby Zara?"
"Yeah son, how is your honey?" Now it was his father's turn to smirk and Devon's turn to glare
" She is fine". He turned to his mother. "Your baby Zara snatched your son's car and left him stranded in school"
His parents burst into laughter. The kids will never change, always pranking and bullying each other.
"Well you guys can laugh " Devon groused good naturedly as he walked up to the stairs to his room with his upper lip curled with with a tiny smile
Devon pulled his clothes off and walked naked into the bathroom turn on the shower and stepped under it and after taking his bath he pulled a towel from the towel rack which must have been kept there by a maid and tied it loosely around his waist then he took another one that he use to clean his wet hair dry as he walked out of the bathroom to the front of the large mirror in his room and stared at his reflection.
He had planned on asking Zara out on her eighteenth birthday which was two months ago but he couldn't find the right words and it was something that he has been waiting for all his life for but he still couldn't do and for reasons he didn't know why he could not do it. He was only three months older than her so he celebrated his birthday five months ago.
