Chapter Fourteen

Walking to class and feeling everyone staring at me, whispering. 'Fag' was thrown in there.

I get to class and Gab and Charles are sitting at the back, our usual seat.

"Whatsup?" I ask looking at their faces.

Gab drops a paper on the table

"This was distributed round school" I look at it picking it up

It was a love letter. Addressed to me.

But this paper was in pink and glitter and perceived of a girl's perfume.

Crystal, my love.

When you look at me I get lost in your cold stare.

Your ember eyes holding so much passion.

Your cherry lips I'd die to taste.

Your embrace I wish so badly for.

Day in and day out all I think of is you.

I love you Crystal.

"Who wrote this?" I feel like I knew who it is.

"You!" Oma threw a few copies at me, her face tear stained.

"You did this didn't you" she screamed

"Are you out of your mind?" Surprisingly I was calm.

"Stop pretending, you saw me with this the other day and you decided to do this as pay back" she continued the tears flowing now.

"Yup, completely out of your mind, before you go around blaming people why don't you look at your circle of friends" I nod towards Jackie and Cynthia.

She scoffed " and you expect me to believe "

"Now their secret is out they are putting on a show" someone commented.

"Even Crystal that was forming holy is a fag"

"And they used to act like they hated each other"

The comments were coming in one after another.

"Crystal Matthews, Chioma Amadi, you are requested to come to the principal's office, immediately"

I looked at Gab, he nodded.

"I'd go with you"

We were silent the entire walk.

I knocked going in.

"Crystal, Chioma" our principal started.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"No sir" I answer

"No?" He asked.

"No?, tell me who distributed love letters around this school, let's not start on the fact that it was from a female to her fellow female" he yelled.

"Would it have been better if it was by a male?" I ask

He glared at me.

"That is not the point here, he distributed it round school premises, who was that?"

"Crystal"

"I don't know" we say at the same time

I glared at her.

"Crystal" Principal called

"I didn't do anything, she's just accusing me without proof" I say.

"Well I've asked for all copies of this to be taken down, Chioma, are you in anyway romantically attracted to Crystal" He asked

She quivered.

"Answer me!"

"Ye… yes sir" I gagged.

"Crystal..."

"I have no attraction whatsoever towards this female" I answer bluntly.

He sighed.

"Chioma being a lesbian isn't something to be proud of, do you want to tint this school, i should expel youl"

"Its not her fault she's this way tho, its her sexuality" I shrug.

"Crystal you're dismissed"

I look at Oma, she keeps her eyes to the ground, I shake my head leaving.

Gabriel was outside with Charlly, Cynthia and Jackie.

"What do they want?"

"They admitted to being the one that made copies of it" Charlly answer

"Not my business" I walk past them.

Oma was allowed to write her finals, but she wasn't allowed to participate in any activity.

People act overly righteous when they are just as bad, it wasn't her fault she was that way.

"Dont expect me to thank you" she hissed walking past me.
