EPISODE 2
POWER UNLEASHED 2
Later in the evening, the students had gathered at the cafeteria to eat.
The cafe was a very big hall, with two large long tables at the two corners.
Ella and her friends, sat down to eat, while she spoke and praised herself in front of them.
"You know that I'm the president of the Humanity department, and I hate it when people disrespect me.
If they do, I'll put them in their place",she said proudly.
"You aren't only the president around here. Don't forget that I'm the president of the Business department ",Hannah, another girl like Ella, said.
"Yeah yeah!
So what!
We are both presidents of our department... and this new students need to note that from now",Ella stated, as she remembered her encounter with both Gracious and Treasure.
She groaned and repeated,"They need to take note now".
"What's wrong Ella?
Did someone push your button today? ",Hannah asked.
Then one if Ella's friends said, "Not just someone, but two someone"
"What kind of a grammar is that? ",Hannah asked, finding the grammar stupid.
"Sorry, it's how I'm explaining it. Not only one person, but two.
The both of them were rude to President Ella this morning ".
"And I promise I'll show them their place, when I get the chance ",Ella said furiously.
Hannah could see that her friend was furious.So she decided to cheer her up.
Suddenly, the old lady, came into the cafeteria, with her box, containing the shining crystals. She began to ask the students to buy.
Some students ignored her, while some said they couldn't.
Hannah saw this as a way to cheer her friend up.
She looked at Ella and said with a devilish Smile,"How about we have some fun together".
"Huh?! ",Ella and her friends looked at her.
Hannah smiled and said, directing their attention to the old lady, "Grandma crystal face hasn't been able to sell her crystals to the students for so many years. How about we show her what we think about her crystals? "
Ella and her friends smiled evilly.
"WAW!!!, delightful. I'm in",Ella agreed.
Outside the cafe, Blessing was rushing towards the cafeteria, when she received a call from her Aunty.
"Hello! ",she answered.
"Blessing where are you?
Are you close to the cafe? ",Aunty Onome asked.
Blessing sighed and said, "One question at a time Aunty. First of all, I'm outside the cafeteria, and secondly, I'm close.
Now don't worry, I'll be there".
Treasure was also heading to the cafeteria.
She was fixing her wrist band well.
She came across Gracious, who was battling with all her books.
They were much.
She decided to help out.
"No no no, don't fall. Don't fall!! ",Gracious panicked.
Quickly, Treasure came to the rescue.
The books that were about to fall, she quickly got hold of them.
Relieved, Gracious thanked Treasure.
"You're welcome.
The name is Treasure ",she introduced herself, while arranging the books with her.
"I'm Gracious. Thanks for helping me ",Gracious thanked again.
Treasure smiled and asked,"Looking at your books, I believe you're heading to the library to read right? "
"Actually... ",she said as she began to walk alongside with Treasure, "...I'm heading to the cafeteria. I'm hungry.
I only took these books from the library,so as to keep myself busy ".
"Well what do you know, I'm heading to the cafeteria ",Treasure said.
Gracious giggled and said, "Then let's go partner. I'm glad that I met you".
Treasure laughed, as they both walked towards the cafeteria.
Blessing was heading towards the entrance of the cafeteria, so as Treasure and Gracious.
At the other side, Ganiyat, Christiana, Abigail, Adeola and Ife where coming too.
Eight of them were about to enter the cafeteria at the same time.
At that moment, Hannah had spilled a glass of juice on the floor. Seeing that the old lady was heading her way.
"Buy some crystals. Shining and sparkling crystals",the old lady said.
Ella scoffed, while Hannah smiled and said, "Let the countdown begin.
5...4....3..."
As soon as she reached three, the eight girls met at the entrance unnoticed, as they all faced each other.They had almost bumped into each others.
"Sorry"
"Our mistake"
"I'm sorry".
They apologized to each other, and walked into the cafeteria at the same time.
Hannah kept on counting, as the old lady came close.
"..2....1".
Once she said 1,the poor old lady immediately slipped and screamed, as she tried to hold herself.
On hearing her scream, the eight girls turned to her direction at once.
They saw that she was about to fall down and injure herself.
Suddenly,they felt a spark in them, which pushed them all to help her.
Without wasting time, the eight girls ran as fast as their legs could take them.
Hannah,Ella and her friends with some students began to laugh at the old lady. But Hannah and Ella's mood changed, on seeing the eight girls, dashing to rescue the old lady.
Just in time, the eight of them saved her together, as they joined their hands together as a team to catch her from behind.
Stunned by this strange rescue, Hannah, Ella and the others, stood up in shock.
"Are you okay madam? ",Christiana asked.
"I hope you aren't hurt? ",Ganiyat asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine",the old lady said, with a smile on her face.
Adeola and Ife helped in picking the crystals that fell down on the floor. While the others led her to a chair.
Students watching began to murmur amongst themselves. Hannah and Ella frowned because they spoilt their plans.
Blessing,who stood close to the old lady, began to wonder what caused the old lady to slip like that.
She looked round and saw the juice on the floor.
"Oh my creativity, I should have known. This wasn't just an accident, but a well planned accident.
Look over there ",Blessing said, pointing the spill.
The girls looked, then they looked at where the spill was.
It was close to Hannah.
On seeing this,the girls faced Hannah.
O M G, how rude!!",Adeola sparked.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
You tried to injure this innocent old lady for what?! ",Abigail asked angrily.
Hannah scoffed and said, "Excuse me, don't blame me for something I never did"
"Save your pretext madam.
I wanted to disagree with my friend over here, but on seeing Miss Rude face beside you, I'm sure that you're responsible for this ",Treasure said, glancing at Ella.
Ella sparked, "Hey!!, who are you calling Rude face?
Don't get on my nerves new girl ".
"And what will you do? "Ife asked.
"Will you beat her?
Oya try it NA. Then she what we do to people like you",Christiana said, threatening her.
This made the girls furious.
"And according to my knowledge, you had deliberately done this evil against this old lady, so as to please yourself. That's how people like you two behave towards others that are just like this madam here. Let me ask, if it's your grandmother, will you do this to her? ",Grace asked.
"Don't involve our grandmother's just because of this old crystal seller",Ella sparked.
Blessing immediately realized something.
She giggled and said, looking at the box, which the old lady held,"Now I get it.
You girls are jealous of this old lady, because of her crystals.
What a shame!!! "
Ella and Hannah scoffed and said, "Jealous of those fake crystals, rubbish".
"Why yes!!, you are jealous of her crystals. Because she's making progress in her work, while you two are... Can't tell",Blessing said.
She walked up to the old lady and asked, picking a yellow crystal, that was different from the other yellow ones. She admired it and asked, "How much madam? ".
"For you my girl, it's free",she said.
"Really!! Thanks man.
This will actually match my superhero design",Blessing said.
Hannah scoffed,"Only one?
Business is booming indeed"
Ella laughed.
"Hey madam, what of us?
We also want to buy ",Adeola said.
She quickly went for the orange ones, and picked the one that was shinier than the others.
Grace went for purple
Treasure went for white
Ganiyat went for Red
Ife went for Green
Christiana went for Blue
Abigail went for pink
The girls picked crystals different from the others. And this pleased the old lady.
Ella scoffed and said to Hannah, "Just because they bought, doesn't mean that... "
Before she could finish her statement, some students began to buy from the old lady.
They found it normal.
The old lady was pleased because of this.
She wasn't happy that they were buying the crystals. She was happy that her main goal for so many years finally came true.
Meanwhile, outside the gate, a strange shadow was hiding behind the trees, looking at the Golden castle.
The creature suddenly came out in the open. Revealing it's true form.
The creature turned out to be a beast with one eye. It was keeping an eye on the castle.
"Very good.
The Queen would be pleased to hear this news".
The demon disappeared into the dark.
