Chapter 17
[Tell Him To Come]
“What of your practical?” Julia asked as the twins took a seat beside her.
“I am done with mine, all it remains is proofreading.” Ellie said.
“Okay, what of you, Elsa?” Julia asked preventing herself from laughing out loud. Ellie looked between the both of them and covered her lips to stop her from laughing also.
“Just say you wanted to insult me.” Elsa said and hissed.
“I don’t know why you and Jayson are behaving like kids?” Julia said and shrugged.
“What is bad if one of you approach the other?” Julia asked.
“The truth is I don’t want to have anything to do with him or anyone relating to him.” Elsa said.
“And how would you know anyone that is relating to him?” Julia asked and looked at her.
“How they behave.” She said simply and ate her french fries.
“How they behave? How do they behave?” Julia asked as it had taken her interest.
“They try to force you into a friendship and then lure you into a relationship.” Elsa said and Julia started laughing.
“They lure into a relationship?” Julia said while laughing.
“Don't you think you are being too general?” Julia asked after she had calmed down.
“And yes by the way, how did you come to this school?” Ellie asked as she munched her potato chips.
“Actually, I registered just like every other student here.” Julia said.
“I thought you were on scholarship.” Ellie said.
“No, not really.” Julia said and smiled.
“Then you should be from a wealthy family then.” Ellie said and smiled.
“Yeah, kinda but we are humble in our family. That is why I said you were too general.” She said and turned to Elsa.
“Whatever.” Elsa scoffed.
****
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“And who is there?” Ellie said as she walked towards the door of their room.
“Good evening, please, I was asked to tell Elsa to come to the library.” The girl said innocently.
“Elsa, you are the one she wants to see.” Ellie said and left the door.
“And who told you to come?” Elsa asked.
“Jayson.” She said.
“Tell him to come instead.” Elsa said and slammed the door shut.
The girl flinched and scurried out of the dorm.
“Can you imagine Jayson asked a junior to call me?” Elsa asked. Ellie smiled.
“You are smiling?” She asked unbelievably.
“You of all people should know how much I love Jayson.” Ellie said.
“And if I were you, I would have finished the practical since the very first day it was given to us.” Ellie said.
“More so, what is all this hard to get game? Come-to-me-first game?.” Ellie asked.
“You should know that with or without you, he could do the practical and still top the class in his exams.” Ellie said.
“With or without the practical, it still does not reduce or deduct anything in his mark. This is just like score booster for average students. And you that you are not as intelligent as he is.” Ellie said and shook her head.
“Or wait, is it because your boyfriend forbade you from talking to boys?” Ellie asked.
Elsa scoffed and sat on the bed.
“Wait, did you just scoff?” Ellie asked.
“When last did you ever speak to him? I guess you must be missing him.” Ellie said and tickled her.
“I am not missing anyone so get that right in your head.” Elsa replied angrily.
“What’s with the anger? He is your boyfriend after all.” Ellie said.
“Stop talking about him, I don’t want to think about him right now.” Elsa said.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Tell Jayson to come here instead.” Elsa yelled.
“What? Girl, open the door for me.” Julia said.
Elsa stood up and went over to the door.
“Who were you talking to?” Julia asked as she came in.
“Actually, my so-called partner sent a junior to come call me like he could not come.” Elsa said and rolled her eyes.
Julia looked at her surprised.
“You mean Jayson sent someone to call you?” She asked.
“Yes.”
“You know what, you keep complaining that kids from wealthy family are proud and arrogant, but you, you are egocentric.” Ellie said annoyed.
“You always want people coming to beg you but you can never go on your knees for someone.” Ellie spat angrily.
“The guy even had pity on you and sent for you and yet you refused him.”
“You know what I am tired of this behavior of yours.” Ellie said.
“You behave like the you are greatest but in reality you are nothing. Elsa, keep your ego to yourself, no one needs it.” Ellie said.
“Hey, calm down, Ellie.” Julia urged her.
“No, I won't. She is so fond of doing that.” Ellie said and wiped her lips.
“I wonder how Christian still loves and take care of you despite this attitude of yours.” She said and this enraged Elsa so much that she slapped her. But Ellie did not let the slap on her cheek rest before returning hers and here comes the battle.
“Hey, stop it.” Julia said trying to separate them. In a bid to do that, they hit her and she fell flat on the floor.
“Never in your entire life poke your nose into my business again.” Elsa said while fighting her sister.
“When you keep acting like a b*tch.” Ellie said pulling their hair.
“Hey, you guys should stop this. You are fighting like kids.” Julia said as she stood up.
“No!, I need to put some sense into her.” Ellie said as they kept rolling over each other.
“If not for the fact that you are obsessed with him, will you have reacted this way?” Elsa asked.
“You are the only one that know who is or is not obsessed with him.” Ellie replied.
“You are only jealous of the fact that he only talks to me and not you.” Elsa said.
“Hey, stop.” Said Julia.
“Wait, did you just say jealous? I could talk to him if I wanted, you know.” Ellie said and bit Elsa's arm.
“Ouch!”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Who is there?” Julia asked thinking it will be one of the authorities but to her utmost surprise, it was….
