After that little spat with Empress, I stormed off to the boys locker room and sat down on one of the benches. I was angry but I didn't know why. She wasn't the first girl who yelled at me sometimes (although a higher percentage of the girls here simply worshipped me)

But why did her anger and frustration drive me nuts?

While I was thinking, my phone rang and I saw Ice as the ID caller, I frowned because Ice never disturbed me during school hours. Infact he hadn't called me since I dealed with the bastard who had hurt Rotimi.

I picked it up and placed it in my ear.

"Hello?"

"Boss we have a problem"

"What is it?"

"Rotimi is sick. He refused to eat and has a temperature so high it's burning him up. His nanny took him to the hospital but they rejected him because of his condition"

I felt my heart drop.

"Is he-is he there?" I stammered.

"He's asleep now. I've been there to make sure he's still breathing and so far he is"

Oh God...I felt my breathing come out in short pants. My hands were shaking as I clenched my fist trying to calm myself down.

Rotimi was the only valuable family I had left. My father was just there, controlling his mafia empire and killing his enemies here and there. I couldn't let Timi die, I would never forgive myself if I do.

"Boss?"

I cut the call and set the phone down. I swallowed and closed my eyes, making sure no thoughts of Rotimi dying crossed my mind. I needed water badly and my knees were going weak already, I searched around with my eyes but saw no water in sight.

"Hey there" a deep voice said. I looked up and saw a tall, grey eyed guy. He was leaning lazily on the wall observing me with cautious curiosity. For one short moment I wondered if he had heard what Ice said.

"Yo" I muttered weakly.

He stretched out his hand, a bottle of water hanging from one of his slim fingers. I looked at him, confused at his generosity and even more confused on how he knew I needed water.

I took it and drank more than half in three big gulps. Immediately I did so, I felt some strength returning back. Even though the lingering fear was still there.

The unknown dude sat beside me and I found myself guessing where I've seen his face from because he looked really familiar.

"I'm Jerry and you're Dayo. You prolly might not know me."

"No I might not" I replied.

"First of all I wanna apologize for accidentally hearing your conversation. Your phone speaker is quite loud you see" he said and smiled a bit. I couldn't help but smile back. There was something about him that was mysterious and calming at the same time.

"I feel you should calm down and not fear. Whatever is wrong with your brother will wear off. Children are strong you know" he said.

"I don't want him to die." I muttered and closed my eyes tight, my chest reeling with pain. "I will never forgive myself if he does"

"He won't"

The way he said it with such casual confidence made me turn to face him.

"Who are you anyway? A new student or what?"

"I'm a new student of course but that's not why I'm here. I want to help you in any way I can. I slipped my phone number in your pocket. If you need anything, call me" he said and stood up.

Woah, what now?

I checked my pocket and saw a paper there with his phone number neatly written in a straight line.

When the hell did he slip it in?

"Why would I need your help or want to call you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He shrugged and walked towards the door.

"Who knows? Anything can happen" he said before walking out.

I looked at the paper again and kept it in the middle of my Chemistry textbook. I didn't want to throw it away because I did not want to look rude. So I placed it in my textbook where there was 20% chance of me finding it.

Creepy boy.

I heard the noise of my mates at the court and went to join them. Akin threw the ball to me and I started bouncing the ball, starting the game.

Only for someone to yank the ball out of my hands and throw it away.

Oh Lord, it was Empress.

"Really Dayo? No shame or self respect? Playing basketball with your minions while my friend suffers because of your friend's stupidity?!" She yelled glaring at me with so much anger. I bit my lip to restrain myself from yelling back because if I did, I'll probably hurt someone or break something.

"Hey Empress babe, calm down" I heard one of the boys say.

"Shut the fuck up bastard. Don't talk to me when I'm not talking to you because you'll have it hot. Fool!" She yelled at him. My head was aching already so I started to walk away.

"I'm talking to you Adedayo! Don't you dare walk away from me! DON'T YOU DARE!" She shouted as she followed me.

Dear Lord, if she doesn't stop I'll-

"You think you're better right? Just because you're at top of the food chain, you feel you and your lousy friend can hurt anyone and get away with it right? Wow, what I thought. You're just a selfish, annoying br-"

"SHUT UP!"

The silence that followed after was deafening. The surprise that appeared on her face was evident but I was too angry to care.

"Shut the fuck up Empress! Why can't you just let me have my damn peace of mind?! You think the world revolves around you and your friends huh? You think everyone is a bastard or a bitch when they don't go your way right? News flash girl, I'm done with your stupid rantings okay? I'm done with you antagonizing me, I'm done with you trying to get on my nerves, I'm done with caring for you, I'm done with being nice to you. Just get out of my life and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"

I closed my eyes and clenched my fist.

Then I opened them, ignored the silence and the shock on everyone's faces and walked away.

I stood outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. Although I felt my conscience prick me for yelling at her like a dick, I couldn't help but feel she deserved it. 

It was when I stepped into my class that I remembered I never told the Jerry that Rotimi was a child.

Oh God 😢 For some reason I really pity Dayo here.

Jerry is getting more and more mysteriouss guysss
