Amanda entered the room angry, she saw Kelly and Praise looking at some clothes, its like they didn't noticed Amanda walked in. Amanda then walk and stood in their front with a fake smile on her face.

" Amanda when did you walk in? " Praise asked smiling

" oh I just entered " Amanda said still smiling

" where have you been? I've been waiting for you" Praise asked

" I've been thinking, why don't we let Kelly join the both of "

" but it has always been the both of us"

" come on"

" okay I want to ask you something, where were you after lectures" Amanda asked smiling

" oh I went shopping with Kelly "

" didn't you feel like you where for getting something " Amanda asked

" no I'm sure" as Praise replied the smile on Amanda's face disappeared

" oh so you did not remember telling me that you will walk with me home, I had to stay in Mr David's extra class" Amanda cried out

" I'm sorry Aman, I forgot " Praise apologized

" I walked to your class, then I was like maybe you already went to my class, so I went there but you were not there, so I was like maybe you already left, so I went back, that was how I went back and forth until Mr David called me inside his class" Amanda said as tear burst out of her eyes.

" I'm so sorry" Praise apologized

" it has always been the two of us, now you want her to be in our group, you even left me for her, you... ' Amanda said leaving the room

"Ama..." that was all praise could say before Amanda slammed the door.

Amanda went to the roof and sat down on a plastic chair, she brought out her phone and called Samuel

" Hello Lil sis" Samuel yelled through the phone

" Aman? " Kelvin rushed in

" Amy girl" Anthony called

" you guys dey disturb o( you guys are disturbing) " Samuel yelled

" sorry" Anthony yelled

" so how are you? " Kelvin asked

" I'm fine " she said with her normal tone

" that's a lie, why did you called " Anthony asked

" ah you guys are my brothers, I called you guys because I miss you guys and I just want to hear your voice"

" then why are you sad" Samuel asked

" I'm not sad, I'm very happy" she lied

" you are our sister, you can't lie to us" Kelvin said. Amanda started narrating the whole story and at the same time crying.

" Aman, don't cry" Samuel said

" yeah you only had Praise as a friend, there is wrong with having a plus one" Kelvin said

" and if you add one more person, you can solve one more dating problems, because you like solving those kind of problems " Samuel said to cheer her up

" and Praise will always love, no one can replace you in her heart" Anthony said

" but..." Amanda got interrupted by someone from behind

" Kelvin is right, no one I mean no one can ever replace you in my heart" Praise said as she stood beside Amanda

" see Lil sis, so don't worry just start your group again" Anthony said

" yeah the three beauties " Kelvin said then everyone laughed.

Both Amanda and Praise entered the room, they saw Kelly lying on her bed, staring at the roof.

" hey Kelly" Amanda called then went to sit beside her

" aren't you gonna argue with me? " Kelly said with a low tone, then she remembered what Praise had told her.

flashback

" Kelly I don't want you to be mad at Amanda, she has always been like this" Praise tried to explain

" like how? " Praise asked

" okay, Amanda and I have been friends since we were little, we became best friends because all the friends we've had always path ways with us, but when Amanda's family moved out of the neighborhood to another one, my family still moved there, and we became even closer than before" Praise explained

" that's why she loves you so much? " Kelly asked

" she has done so much for me and I also have done so much for her. when we were still in junior secondary school, Amanda would push away any one that gets between our friendship, that's how she is, she cherish what she loves the most because she knows what's important to her, than to loss it, because she does not want to loss anything or anyone that is important to her" Praise explained

" I understand"

end of flashback

" hey what are you thinking about" Amanda said snapping her fingers in front of Kelly

" oh sorry" Kelly apologized

" okay, I don't want to argue with you anymore, in fact we can rebuild our fame here" Amanda said looking at Kelly then turned to Praise at the end of her sentence .

" but this time with Kelly" Amanda said and then dropped a smile.
