Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

I asked him what they did and he told me that he faked an attack which caused his bodyguards to act and this inherently abused them to disrupt one of his classes. The school board held a meeting thereafter and requested that Diego's father should dismiss his bodyguards. 

I personally thought it to be a risky plan in general because someone could get hurt in the process. Why should I trade my freedom in the expense of someone getting hurt. My father wasn't definitely an honest businessman and he definitely wouldn't dismiss my bodyguards on the account of disruption of public order.

But still, I decided to test my luck the next day. We all fell asleep in my room and the next day we got ready for class and left our dormitory.

After our classes that day, it was time for the first training after tryouts for the soccer team. We were all in the field, both the male and female teams. This was when Diego declared 

It was the best time and place to carry out the plan, since my bodyguards were asked to stay away during practice. The boys asked me to look for someone to hire that would pretend to try to attack me. At that point, I was at a loss because I basically knew nobody in that school apart from my sisters and the other guys. 

I wasn't even able to ask a random person before Temi shouted from outside that they were coming. Out of instinct, I snatched someone's phone out of their hands and ran away. The person was right at my heels, and she was very fast. When we got to a considerable distance, I stopped running and that was when the bodyguards tackled the unsuspecting girl. Before any real damage could be done, the school security restrained my bodyguards and the little girl was rushed to the medical center.

I grit so bad about the whole situation, but on the bright side, my father was compelled to remove my bodyguards from the school premises. This made me realize that apart from being ruthless, one thing he actually embodied was being a people pleaser and this wouldn't let him go against the request of the school.

I was going towards the clinic with a fruit basket to visit the girl that was hurt during the fight. I naturally expected a weak girl groaning or acting weak on the bed, but I saw the girl sitting up on the bed and playin a duo queue with the nurse. 

After I got over my shock, I knocked slightly on the door to get their attention. When the nurse saw me, she stood up immediately in shock, then mumbled something then she left the room.

I dropped the fruit basket beside the girl in tge bed. The moment I turned to her, I caught her staring at me suspiciously. Shdd we asked for my name, which I told her and she in turn told me that her name was Vanessa. She continued to stare at me for a while before she finally broke the silence by saying something absurd.

She said that I looked both like a boy in an almost assured tone. You look more or less like a girl to me. 

I was momentarily stunned by her freaking accurate observation but I made sure my face gave nothing away. She continued to ramble on about her theories and why she thought that it was true. After a while she finally realized that I wasn't replying to her words and kept quiet. 

She looked at me warily obviously thinking that I'll call her weird for what she'd been saying since. We stared at each other for a while and burst into laughter. It was at this point that the boys came in. 

They looked at the both of us like we were crazy and sat a considerable distance away from us. I honestly thought that Vanessa was very cute and smart because she was able to deduce that I was in fact a guy.

After a few talks here and there, we took our leave. When we got to our rooms, I told the boys of my desire to befriend Vanessa and instead of the supportive reaction I expected from them, I was met with serious opposition.

I asked them why because they were literally the most supportive persons that I have ever met. They told me that most of the students were scared of Vanessa and the others thought her to be fucking weird. I asked them why they had this reaction and they told me that her father was a very popular politician and he wasn't exactly the most loved person in the country.

I then asked them why they weren't scared of me, it wasn't a secret that my father was the Don of one of the biggest organization in the underworld. They stared at each other, and then they decided that we could give the friendship a try.

 They looked at next day, I met with Vanessa in the clinic again and we exchanged contact details. I was quick to add her to our group chat online and they all seemed cool with each other. As I was about to return to my hostel, I got a message from my father. He was commending me for making friends with the daughter of the James family (Vanessa) and he told me to keep up the good work like I was on a business trip and not in school. 

I was still distracted by my father's text message when o felt myself being dragged into a dark room.

It was my sisters again, I groaned in frustration and asked them what they wanted from me again. Before they could say anything, Danielle instructed her bodyguard to guard the space to ensure no one was listening to our conversation.

After they confirmed that the space around us was cleared, they told me that they wanted to bid me goodbye because they were going to escape tomorrow. I wasn't as saddened as I expected but I was dissatisfied that they were still going without me. I acted like I didn't care and excused myself from amongst them. They look pretty disappointed that I didn't give a damn about them leaving.

When I got to my room, I wrote a letter to my mother stating my dissatisfaction and disappointment in all what that they did. Even if they weren't taking me along, they could have involved me in their plans. I ended the letter stating that I still loved them all and I wished them the best.
