Poppy eyes met with Shane and they both exchange hateful glares, before she turned away.

April watch and folded her hand into a fist.

Rihanna looked at the empty seat which was meant was Braxton and sighed.

"Why is he not in class? Is he perhaps sick or something?

She admits she has grew fond of seeing his annoying face around.

Her thoughts was interrupted when a prof entered.

The class began and everywhere went silent.

ONE HOUR LATER

Braxton car halted in front of the parking lot, he got down and threw his jacket on his shoulder.

First class was over and Melanie came outside from the class.

Her eyes widened when she saw Braxton walking through the hallway.

A small tiny smile escaped from her as different ideas rush to her mind.

She suddenly began running and bumped into Braxton on purpose, they staggered and Melanie was about falling when Braxton quickly held her on her waist.

"Ahhh." She gasped in shock.

Coz of the crop top she was wearing he could feel her soft flesh skin.

Melanie smile as she stare at Braxton, she didn't want this moment to end not until when Braxton let go of her and she fell flat on the floor.

"Ouch.. My @ss."She winced and angrily looked at Braxton.

"Why did you do that?. "She asked.

"I don't feel comfortable with your stare, and I didn't ask you to bumped on him, so you coz it all. " He rolled his eyes.

"But you caught me already. "She said and he scoffed.

"I chose to caught you and I chose to let go of you coz I wish to . " he replied.

"Why were you late?. "Shane asked Braxton and wrapped his arm on Braxton shoulder.

"Had to deal with something so important. " he said and they started walking.

✱SCHOOL PRIVATE LOUNGE✱

Trista twisted the door knob and entered inside the lounge, she found Giovanni waiting there.

"Thought you wouldn't come. " Giovanni said.

"I had to come coz it's so important. "Trista replied and hug him, before she disengaged from the hug.

"This is so unusual of you,but anyways why did you ask me to come here?. " Giovanni asked and Trista rolled her eyes.

"I won't be bitting round the bush coz I'm a straight forward person, reason why I asked you to meet me here is because... "Trista stopped and moved closer to Giovanni.

"I know you love me right?. " She asked him.

"No..I ..don't. "Giovanni stuttered and she smirked.

She moved more closer, that their breath were fanning each other.

She suddenly started kissing him roughly on the neck, giving him hickey,and Giovanni froze on the spot, she broke it afterwards.

"I'm ready to reciprocate this love only if you help me. "Trista said with her melodious voice, which sounds like a lullaby to his ear.

She don't know that her voice was turning him on without she even trying.

"With what?. " Giovanni asked.

"Kiss Rihanna,yes I want you to kiss her."Trista smirked and he widened his eyes.

"Why?. " He asked.

"It's not in your place to know, just do that for me. "She said.

"I'm sorry but I can't do it! I just can't. "

"You claim to love me right?then you have to prove it to me by kissing Rihanna. "Trista muttered.

"I can't do that to her, I mean she's my friend....

"And you will prefer a friend than the person you loves, I didn't want to tell you this before! But don't you know that Rihanna loves you, but she doesn't want to tell you. " Trista cut him off.

"And how did you know that?. "He asked.

"Coz I heard her telling her friends, she said she loves you but she doesn't want to tell you coz she's scared. " Trista whispered.

"But I don't love her and I'm truly sure she doesn't love me coz she's interested in Braxton only. "Giovanni said.

"Then you have to confirmed it yourself by kissing her, I'm sure she loves you. " Trista smirked.

"Okay, i'd confirmed it, and if she doesn't love me, we would go on a date. "Giovanni said and she fake a nod.

"Call her to meet you at the school rooftop, ok. " Trista muttered and Giovanni nod before leaving the launch.

"Gawd he stinks, can't believe I kiss that dirty neck of his. "She said fanning her neck with her hands.

"I really need to take his scent off this body. " She muttered and walked to the bathroom.

Presley came out of the restroom only to came face to face with Ryder.

Their eyes met and she made to walk when Ryder stopped her.

"Why have you been avoiding me since the day we kissed?. "Ryder asked.

"Have I? I didn't even notice. " She said and smiled lightly.

"You have been avoiding me, and it quite annoying. "He said and she looked at him.

"I'm sorry if have been avoiding you, can I leave now?. " She asked.

"Can we go and watch movie in the cinema after lectures?. "Ryder suddenly asked.

"Why?. "

"Coz I want to spend much time with you, I mean we don't know each other so I want to get to know you much better!."Ryder said.

"I don't wish to know you or know who you are! I absolutely don't care. "Presley muttered and walked away but Ryder held her hand before she could and pulled her towards him.

"Just accept to go with me, or would you want me to take back my dare and f**k many b*tches or should I perhaps hangout with them? . " He asked.

"I still don't care. "She said and turned her back to leave.

Ryder rake his hair and sigh.

✵ROOFTOP✵

Rihanna walked to the rooftop where Giovanni had asked her to come to.

"Hi."She wave at him and he smiled.

"Why did you asked me to meet you up here?. "Rihanna asked.

"Take a sit first. " He said and she sat down in the bench.

"So tell me.. "She said.

"I just want us to watch the star together. " he said.

"But the second lecture would start soon. "She said more like a whisper

"I know right,but it won't take long. "He said.

"Ok." Rihanna said and looked at the sky, she suddenly felt Giovanni palm on her arms.

"Have any one ever tell you that you look beautiful?. "He asked and she smiled.

"No, but you're the first. " She replied.

"Am glad to be the first. "He said.

"Remember when Trista made a challenge to you that you should slapped me in return she'd kissed me, you came to asked me that 'can you slapped me' and I gladly accepted."He muttered.

"Yes I remembered. " She smiled.

"And now i'm asking you?can I kiss you?." he asked and she blinked her eyelids twice.

He didn't wait for her reply, he brought his face closer and crashed his lips on her.

At that moment Braxton came there, his eyes widened when he saw Giovanni kissing Rihanna passionately.

He wanted to walked to him and grabbed his shirt before giving him a defeaning punched on his face but who's he to do that.

He's not her friends nor her boyfriend. "She can do anything she want he doesn't care. "

Slowly he started leaving away from there.

Actually he saw her heading to the school rooftop, he wanted to tell her something, that was how he started trailing her from behind, only for him to come and watch a movie of Rihanna and Giovanni kissing.

He entered his car and drove out from the school compound roughly.

Trista came out from the school lounge and smirked.

"Now he would despise her. "She thought inwardly and smiled for herself.

Braxton car halted in front of BSR Condo, he got down and entered inside the condo.

As soon as he entered, tears escape from his eyes.

Why would he kissed her? She could have pushed him off but she did nothing off that sort, not just that they were kissing passionately.

He suddenly started craving for cigarettes and just like fate has it,he caught a glimpse of a stick of cigar laying in the table.

He walked to the table and pick the cigarette, he was about lighting it when he remember the promised he made to Rihanna.

❁Why do you smoke? Don't you know that I hate guy's who smoke. "She said.

"You hate guy who smoke?. " he asked and she nod.

"Then, am making a promise to you that I would stop smoking. "Braxton muttered❁

He recalled and ruffled his hair, throwing the cigarette away.
