" then feed her apples" Alen said and drank some fanta.
" are you crazy? I can't feed Ariana apples. She's my best friend" Beatrice said
" Ha hah ha" Alen laughed.
" Why are you laughing? I don't think I said anything funny" Beatrice said confused.
" Ariana your best friend? Don't forget the only reason why you became her best friend was so you could get the same attention she was getting" Alen said.
" Yes but I don't wanna kill her. I'm out of here" Beatrice said and made to leave.
" Who do you want? Ariana or Raymond?" Alen asked
" Raymond of course. Fine I'll do it but how do we get Ariana to eat apples?" Beatrice asked.
" Let the lunch thief handle this" Alen said.
"' how can the lunch thief handle this?" Beatrice asked.
" We just need Ariana's locker open" Alen said caressing her and touching her inappropriately.
" I hope this works" Beatrice said and sighed.
BACK TO PRESENT........
" Well, our plan won't be for nothing. We'll think of something later." Beatrice said
" What do you mean by that?" Alen asked.
" Listen, you're the smart one here so think of something. I trust you" Beatrice said.
" But you know it won't be for free" Alen told her.
" You can only think of money. You're so greedy" Beatrice said and threw some money at him.
" What do you think of me? I don't need your money Beatrice. The only thing I need is........."
" Don't even dare Alen. You know what? You don't love me. If you did, you'll understand my feelings and help me get the one I want" Beatrice said angrily.
" Oh!!! Do you think I don't love you? If I didn't love you, would I have given you a shoulder to cry on? Would I have protected your secret that aside you poisoning Ariana you were behind.........."
" Shhhh shhhh. That's enough" Beatrice said trying to keep him quiet. " I'll do what you want" Beatrice said angrily.
" Good girl" he said touching her inappropriately. " Meet me at my house at nine PM sharp. Not a minute later" Alen said and left .
" Alen!!!!" Beatrice yelled in anger as she threw the table causing it to fall. " Someday, I'll have to get rid of you for good forever. You know all of my dirty secrets and as long as you're moving about the hallways, those secrets won't be safe" Beatrice thought to herself.
" What's all the noise about" a teacher walked in.
" It's nothing sir. Please excuse me." Beatrice said and left.
TWO DAYS LATER,
" I don't get it. Is it that I'm such a bad daughter? My mum didn't even bother to see me throughout m stay in the hospital. Besides, I'm already being discharged today and she's not come to see me" Ariana sobbed.
" Sorry Ariana but to be honest, your mum is pretty weird but the truth is , you're a great daughter and your mom is missing out a lot" Cassandra said patting Ariana's back.
" I can't believe I came with my step mom" Ariana blurted.
" Stepmom? " Cassandra was confused.
" Uh oh"
" What's going on Ari? Who's your stepmom?" Cassandra asked.
" We'll talk about this some other time. I wanna leave" Ariana said wiping keep tears.
" Sweetie, are you crying?" Mrs Lambert walked in.
" It's nothing Mrs Lambert. I was just emotional" Ariana said and stood up. " Are the papers ready? Can I go now?"
" Yes but at the moment, I don't think you'll be able to stay alone. Would you like to stay with us?" Mrs Lambert asked.
" I appreciate Mrs Lambert but the thing is, my boyfriend stays with me and I don't think it'll be cool to leave him alone" Ariana said and coughed.
" I'll handle it Ari. So, are you coming?" Casey asked eagerly.
" Sure" Ariana said. " I Better get ready for all the work" she thought to herself.
" Ari, are you kidding me?" Max walked in. " You don't expect me to stay alone without you"
" Max, don't you want her to recover? Give her sometime. She's not gonna stay with me forever" Mrs Lambert asked
" Fine. I'm leaving" Max said and left angrily.
" Max..... Are you sure he's gonna be fine?" Ariana asked.
" I'll handle it. This is gonna be fun" Casey said and embraced Ariana in a tight hug.
" Come on, let's go" Mrs Lambert said and assisted Ariana to get up and they left.
