For the past three days, Precious hid her tears, pain and injuries from her mother. She was bullied daily and made sure to be attacked and pinched intentionally.
She looked at the entire crowd but no one was willing to help as they all laughed whenever she was hurt.
Jeremiah looked for means to talk to Precious but whenever she saw him, she ran off. She thought he wanted to bully her like he rest whereas he wanted to apologise.
Amanda wasn't talking to him and he was going crazy whenever she cut his call as soon as it rang.
"I didn't know a girl could make you so pathetic!" Daniel mocked Jeremiah who was raking his hands through his hair.
Amongst these three friends; Daniel was the sarcastic one, he rarely got angry and played too much in the sense that he never takes anything serious.
Jeremiah was the gentle and kind one, he was even the friendliest as he tended to talk to other people asides his two friends.
Bethel was the most obnoxious out of these three, he was quiet but never having the best in mind. He doesn't talk to just anyone and the most intelligent amongst the trio, that was how they described them all
Precious hid at the staircase as she ate the lunch her mom packed for her. There was no way she'd be able to eat in the cafeteria. When Amanda was still in the school, it was easy for her as she had someone to talk to.
Amanda wouldn't have been easily discovered if not for when she started dating Jeremiah. Blessing has always had a crush on Jeremiah and the fact that Jeremiah never looked at her made her wonder what he saw in Amanda.
At first she thought it was because of their skin colour as Amanda had fine rich light skin colour with long hair whereas the reverse was her case.
She did some digging and soon she was able to get the information on Amanda and with Beauty by her side and Dorathy the bully, she was able to expose Amanda.
Jeremiah protected her so they couldn't raise their hands on her. Jeremiah was always by her and it was hard for anyone to lay or plan against her. Suddenly Amanda was accused of being a thief by Blessing who complained she lost her gold necklace which was later found in Amanda's bag.
When the case was brought to the school committee, Amanda was expelled as they used the fact that her family wasn't well off to frame her.
Asides that Blessing's father being one of the biggest sponsors of the school aided her easy dismissal.
The school ended for the day and Precious thanked the lord as while the teacher was teaching, they were pulling her hair throwing things at her. She would have cried if not that she controlled herself.
Bethel shouted at the maid who had clumsily slipped and fell the drinks on her hand on the floor.
He had never liked her from the very start. "Get out right now and come back with your senses!" He yelled at the young lady who obviously was older than him.
As soon as she left, Jeremiah came out from the bathroom in Bethel's room. Daniel chuckled before showing his phone to his friends to see.
It was a picture of a girl with her breast open for him to see. "Isn't that Stella from queens college?" Jeremiah asked.
"Yes...yes!" Daniel laughed.
Bethel scoffed, "I hate desperate girls!" He spat out.
"It still baffles me how most ladies stoop so low for attention when they should carry themselves with pride," Bethel snickered.
Daniel kept laughing while Jeremiah kept typing on his phone with a pained expression on his face.
"Take a look at Jerry, begging for his girlfriend's attention and take a look at Stella, using nude to get your attention, those babes are loose, she won't have anything to surprise you when you finally f**k her which I know you will soon." Bethel shrugged.
He wasn't one to really have time for a relationship, he rarely let anyone in his life as it is, although he wasn't no saint as his friends weren't.
"Pick up already!" Jeremiah spat out. Amanda kept ignoring his calls and he was getting more pissed. Was she really going to break up with him? He thought.
Bethel and Daniel laughed. "Babe that does not give you p**Sy is giving you a headache, you off me Jerry." Daniel mocked in a sarcastic manner making Jeremiah frown.
"How many times have I warned you not to badmouth her?!" Jeremiah asked, he wasn't one with enough patience as it is.
"Relax!" Daniel laughed. "I was only whining, baba no vex o!" Daniel laughed.
"I blame you, you no dey ever use your sense!" Jeremiah hissed, making Daniel laugh the more.
"Baba is pained!" Daniel spat out. Bethel watched them as they exchanged words. He knew Jeremiah would soon hit Daniel as he was quite the temperamental type unlike Daniel who hardly gets angry.

"If it isn't because of the situation I am im, small small boys like those fools no go fit dey talk to me anyhow! Mtchwee!" The maid earlier hissed as she made her way into the kitchen. Precious saw her and greeted her. "Aunt Maggie, Good evening," Precious greeted.
"Better pikin how you die?" Maggie retorts.
"I'm fine, thank you ma." Maggie was Precious' mother's neighbor and very funny and friendly too.
"Eh ehn! Precious, come do me small favour."
Aunt Maggie thought of sending Precious to Bethel's room instead so that she won't be forced to smack the boy on his head and teach him manners.
Precious collected the tray from aunt Maggie as she made her way towards the long curvaceous step. She sighed as she finally reached the room she was directed to.
She knocked gently on the door and after some seconds, she was told to come in.
She twisted the door knob and opened it only to be faced by those she wasn't expecting.
