They went home.

Elsa....Mum, did you see that? Ramona is dad's daughter, my sister? So he chose to move on from us and remarried a woman with a child?

Erica.....Its nit like that, she is your real sister.

Elsa....What do you mean? I dont understand you mum.

Erica.....Your dad had an affair when we were married, that girl is his daughter.

Elsa.....What? Are you saying that he left us and went to them? What about us? How can he be so cruel?

Erica.....Enough! I've a really bad day because of you, dont worsen it.

Elsa.....You know something mum, tell me the whole truth, i wanna know.

Erica.....Go to your room, NOW!

Elsa.....I hate you mum.

Erica.....Okay, leave your phone here.

Elsa.....Why dont you just abandon too like dad did, i hate you both.

She gave her the phone and went to her room, she started crying.

Elsa....They are all liars! Mum knew everything but decided to stay silent about it.I hate Ramona, but now dad is her dad too? I really hate myself...Fuck the world!

She cried until she fell asleep.Megan called Calton.

Megan....Hy babe.

Calton....Sup.

Megan....When are you coming back?

Calton.....Soon, why? You sound sad.

Megan.....Yeah, am sad.

Calton.....What happened?

Megan.....Its about my cousin, she is in a mess and am worried about her.

Calton....Elsa?? What mess? What happened to her?

Megan.....Well, she fought with Ramona and got suspended for a week with a punishment.

Calton....Oh, i see, she will be fine.

Megan....No, she got bad grades and her mum is going to take her to another school.Her phone is also not reacheable, am sure her mum took it from her.

Calton.....What? But, thats not enough reason to take her to another school.

Megan.....I know, right?

Calton.....Lets talk again later, am busy now.

Megan....Okay.

He ended the call.

Calton.....Does this mean i wont see her ever again? Shit! She cant change her to another school like that, am going to miss her if i dont her.I cant let her go yet, i must go and see her.

Calton loved Elsa very much that he cancelled his working schedule only to go and see her.Elsa woke up in the morning, her mum was standing on the door way.

Elsa....Gosh, you scared me.

Erica.....Get up and do all the house work, once your done, revise harder.

Elsa.....Am not changing to another school, i like this school.

Erica.....You do as i say.

Elsa....Why are you selfish mum? You always want to control my life, am not a kid anymore.

Erica....Watch what your saying.

Elsa....I wish i can just disappear and leave you here so that you get peace.

Erica walked away, she went to work angrily.Megan and Addison went to see Elsa.

Megan....How are you doing?

Elsa....Not fine at all, i got into a fight with my mum and told her bad words.

Addison.....Gosh! Now she is going to send you to boarding school.

Megan.....Dont say that.

Elsa.....If she insists, then i will quit school and look for a job.

Addison.....Its not easy as you say, so, Xavier?

Elsa....I havent heard from him yet,am sure his calling on my phone.

Megan.....Dont you have any clue where she hid it?

Elsa.....She knows i will find it so she went with it.

Addison....Damn! What now?

They talked and later they headed to school, she did all the housework and cooked.She sat down and started eating, she heard a knock on the door.She went and opened the door, it was Calton.

Elsa.....Ca...Calton??

Calton.....May i come in?

Elsa....Oh, yes...sure.

He entered.

Elsa.....Have a seat.

Calton.....Thanks, your house is nice.

Elsa....Thanks, so, why are you here?

Calton....I heard about what happened to you, am sorry.

Elsa....Oh that, dont be, i will be fine.

Calton....Are you really changing to go to another school?

Elsa.....I dont like it but i might, my mum is angry with me and i dont think i can change her mind.

Calton....How about i tutor you?

Elsa....Tutor me? Hell no! We are competitors, remember?

Calton....I know, i just want to help out.

Elsa....Oh, i have an idea.Tell that to the principal so that she can convice my mum that i will be tutored then i wont have to go.

Calton....Good idea, it might work.

Elsa.....Wait...Megan said that you are out town and you wont be back this week, why are you here?

Elsa....Lets dig in.

They started eating while talking happily.

Calton.....I should go now.

Calton.....Your welcome.

They looked into eachother's eyes and started to slowly move towards eachother aiming for a kiss, but before that, Calton's phone rung.
