Miss Popular ( She’s Everyone choice)

“Have you ever thought for once that Angela loves you a lot?”James asked.

“That’s not the truth, we are only good friends,” Romeo said.

“That’s is the truth,” Annie said coming closer.

“What are you both saying. There’s nothing like that.

Angela is a good friend and she’s like a sister. I cherish and respect her, that’s all.

We are always together most time maybe that’s why you guys are misunderstanding everything.

And what proved do you have?”Romeo asked.

“A lot of proof, she’s always happy when she’s around you

Today when I was speaking with her, she keeps talking about you.

But when I changed the topic and start talking she didn’t even smile.

She just feigns a smile. But when she came to you, it doesn’t take her a minute to smile at you and the smile was deep down from her heart “James said.

“Oh, I see the reason why you are so worried. But you are mistaken. She doesn’t love me.

And I didn’t do anything special, I just teased her. I will suggest you are too boring that’s why she got tired of your company.

You know some girls are like that, they like funny guys. Guys who always flirt and joke with them, not a boring one, don’t be boring.

Am only fond of teasing girls, and I know how to maintain my relationship without taking advantage of that.

So I suggest you guys are mistaken. I even asked her once. She told me herself she only considers me a brother and will always support me.

That’s why you guys misunderstood our friendship”Romeo explained.

“Why won’t she deny it, you know is not all ladies that have the confidence to ask a guy out.

Maybe you should try and asked her again” Annie said.

“No this can’t be, my heart only beats for someone else. I don’t understand what’s going on.

Am sure this must be some kind of joke. I will ask her about this”Romeo said.

“I think that will be better,” Annie said.

“Romeo” Someone called.

“Mum” Romeo answered. She rushed to him and hugged him tightly.

“Am sorry my son. I am sorry, I am a bad mother. I came to your school but I couldn’t find you” Mrs. Emery cried.

Romeo remembered the day Cindy came to the restaurant with Mikel. He remembered Cindy saying he has traveled abroad.

He disengaged the hug.

“Mrs. Emery, nice meeting you again,” Romeo said and stretched his hand forward for a handshake.

“My son, I am sorry to stop punishing me in this way. I know that I have wrong you, I caused everything, but I never know your dad would be this harsh, I am sorry” Mr. Emery pleaded.

“Oh I see, but if Mikel is here right now, you would have lied and say am just a look-alike or an errand boy.

You claimed you are sorry but you keep lying about my personality. Am sorry Mrs. Emery, the relationship between us ended the day I stepped my foot out of your house. I am cool” Romeo said and leave angrily.

Pamela and Joyce who wanted to come and call them that the school bus is about to leave saw all this.

They stood looking shocked. Mrs. Lane went to meet her and hold her.

Pamela went to Mrs. Emery and hugged her.

“Am sorry ma’am, I promised I will bring your son back to you.

I am the one who separated your family. I will unite you guys back.

Just gave me a mouth or even before that Romeo would be back with you again” Pamela vowed.

“Thanks so much my daughter, “Mrs. Emery said crying.

“You should be relaxed. I have told you he’s very stubborn. But you don’t listen to me.

Can you imagine he broke his relationship right Infront of everyone? Which means he didn’t respect us again” Mr. Emery said with teary eyes.

“Let me be. And don’t pretend you love him when you didn’t think thrice before disowning him. Is that how you correct a child.

You think he is twenty, he’s now an adult and can take of himself.

But the truth is he’s just a child. A child to his mother” Mrs. Emery shouted.

And went to their car angrily.

Pamela POV

“This is getting out of hand. How can Romeo say such a thing to his mother? She was hurt. Why is he doing all this? I will sort this out soon “Pamela muttered, but it was loud enough to be heard.

“Hmm, I couldn’t believe Romeo have made up his mind. He doesn’t seem to care “Joyce said.

Romeo POV

I hate the fact that they are my parent. How could they lie about my identity?

I can never forgive them for this. They should go and take that Romeo that’s in America or whatever they call it.

“Romeo, why are you sad. You look pissed. What’s wrong” Angela asked.

“Nothing, am cool, Is nothing important I will sort it out”I replied.

“Don’t you see the two of you are cute together?

Why don’t you just leave Pamela for me?

You’ve already had someone who loves you, why can’t you just leave my Pamela” Kiles whispered.

“Stay away from me, or I will hurt you right now, “I said angrily.

“Are you trying to vent your anger on me? Don’t be the mad guy.

You know I can’t shout, because I have to be a nice guy in Infront of Pamela, so just take care of yourself.

You can have fun with her, even s*x.

She loves you so she would enjoy it”Kiles whispered.

“How dare you” I thundered angrily.

“How dare you”Romeo thundered angrily and grip Kiles on his neck.

He makes his seat on one of the seats in the bus.

“Romeo, what’s all this”Pamela shouted trying to separate them.

“Let him beat the heck out of him, what did he think of us, that we are just useless. Leave him, I want him to beat him.

I can even join hands to be him. So we can beat the hell out of him.

What did he count us for”Angela said angrily?

“Pamela, Please save me I was only kidding that they both look good together, I didn’t say more than that. And he wanted to kill me. Please tell him to leave him alone”Kiles lied.

“That’s a lie, he said we do have sex together. He called us useless. He even added that I must be pregnant” Angela lied.

“Romeo, Please, forgive his mistake. And you better mind your statement”Pamela pleaded in a cool and calm voice.

He jerks his hand off him.

“If you dare say such foolish thing about is us again. I will rip off your neck” Romeo said angrily and stood up.

Every one of them went back to their seat.

“WOW! See the height of you lies” Romeo said and raised his hand in the air.

“He thought he is the only one that can lie. Let’s start and see who can lie best.

We can all lie but it has limits. Because lying isn’t good. But they are some circumstances that you will have to lie just to save someone else’s life “Angela said.

“Do you mean you can lie just to save your friends?” Romeo asked?

“Yes of course. That’s because they said a friend in need is a friend indeed” Angela said.

“Which means Angela is trying to hide her feelings from me, so, that I can be with Pamela. This is making more sense “Romeo thought.
