CHAPTER 17

Hey girlie, we missed you the previous day do tell what made you miss school especially on the day of assignments submittion prisca Alice 's friend commented on seeing her , on a more honest ground Alice didn't really consider herself to have any friends they were her followers more like fan if she was being nice because none of them would even talk to her if she wasn't "Alice " the most popular girl in school. 

Alice is such a dare devil another said including herself in the conversation. Alice thought of telling them the truth, that she didn't miss school because she was a rebel or anything but because that day she was genuinely sick from a stomach upset but she also knew it wasn't what they wanted to hear, plus her frigging birthday was coming up she couldn't afford to loose guard or for her her reputation to take a downhill so she primed herself, tossed her hair stylishly to one side and smiled at them graciously. 

Lol guys you know me too well I didn't come to school because i didn't feel like coming that day, simply wasn't in the mood she muttered in indifference. 

I knew it omggggg you are so cool, you can miss school when you ain't in the mood that's mad. 

You are the most luckiest girl on earth my mom would literally skin me alive if I try such - Sasha said. 

I know right am a soft girl, can't afford to be stressed over something as trivial as education. You all are probably looking at the future Kylie Jenner she added demurely. 

Omg girl I wish I could be you, even if for a day gosh screw that I would appreciate an hour. 

Alice laughed delicately, be careful of what you wish for my love, you simply can't handle my life -I mean all the attention and all she explained hurriedly when they looked at her strangely. 

Well I don't mean to debunk what you are saying but your sister, the intelligent and smart one ayra she said you were sick, I was even worried about you and didn't expect to see you soon in school she said lying through her teeth, she was very envious of Alice and would never admit it neither to herself or to Alice she simply hated the fact that the world revolved around her and she seemed to have the whole world at the tips of her fingers. 

Right that's true, she even gave me your assignment to submit for you another wishpered. 

Oh "fuck ayra "look the mess she put me into she swore in her head and sought for a way to remove herself from the mess. 

My my you guys have some guts, insinuating that me of all people is lying like you guys c'mon on why the hell would I lie? You know my sister is two-goody shoes and thought she was doing me a favor by saying I was sick, she loves school and was afraid on my behalf about my grades you know she even insisted on submitting the assignment for me. 

Oh that explains it then they muttered nodding their heads . 

Bunch of fools she thought in head it was easier to deceive people than she had thought or maybe her circle were probably plain stupid because she wouldn't even fall for her own lies. 

Now that the interrogation is over, please can someone get me a bottle of cold water? 

Here you go, sunshine Troy said handing her a chilled bottle of juice. 

Thanks she accepted the drink reluctantly surprised to see him, but I asked for water love I guess this would do she said shrugging. 

I missed you so much love Troy said instead ignoring her complaint, he bundled her into his arms and kissed her multiple times on the neck. 

Awwwwwwww you guys are are so cute, am literally jealous right now the girls said starring at her in envy. 

Am not surprised anymore, I mean they are the best couple in school for a reason -Josh 

Did you really miss me? Alice wishpered in his ears slowly. She had missed school and stayed offline for a whole day something she would never do, like she was online 24/7 but her "loving boyfriend" hadn't even bothered to check up on her, he didn't even call her once all these little things made Alice wonder if Troy really loved her like he claimed. 

I did bae, ask around I couldn't concentrate one bit in your absence he muttered still kissing her neck and jaw. 

You could have called she persisted miffed. 

I was busy with the team bae, we have a game coming up pretty soon. 

Alice wanted to drag it out, to tell him that if he really cared he would have made out time to call her for crying out loud that was a dumb excuse, you make time for things that are precious to you that was how things were done but she looked around almost all her friends and classmates included were starring at them, admiring the "perfect couple" She obviously couldn't start an argument right in front of them she had to think of her reputation but she wouldn't let this slide she decided and removed herself from his suffocating embrace. 

Gosh you ain't letting me drink the damn juice she said in jest. 

Jeeze you sure know how to kill a mood he hissed in irritation. 

Troy control yourself people are looking at us she said through clenched teeth. 

Fuck them I want you like mad. 

Not here Troy I am warning you . 

Don't us-

Alice prisca said coming close to touch her shoulder, I just wanted to let you know you are incredibly lucky to have Troy in your life . I mean he brought you juice immediately you mentioned it. It's like he is in your head!! that's the nicest thing ever. 

Yeah tell her that, Troy bragged. 

Alice mentally rolled her eyes but smiled at them in agreement.
