Miss Popular ( She’s Everyone choice)

I head to the school hospital. When I was about stepping my foot in the hospital.

“Romeo” someone called my name from behind.

“Owen” I called and hugged him tightly.

Tears where rolling down my cheek.

“what happened buddy” why the tears” he asked concerned.

“Am not crying, am I?” I asked not able to control my emotions.

He hugged me tightly.

Owen POV

I called Romeo immediately I saw him. He hugged me passionately with tears rolling down is cheek.

“Come with me” I said and took him to the school garden.

“Why do you brought me here” he asked.

“Don’t asked me, can’t you see people were staring at us due to the way you are crying over there” I said.

“Was I crying” he asked.

“Yes you are crying, tell me what happened” I asked anxious to know.

Romeo is a loving guy but have never been so emotionally breakdown like this before.

I wonder what could be wrong with him.

“Something serious than I thought” Romeo said and explained everything that happened between him and his parent to me.

“What!! How could you take such decision?” I asked surpised.

“What do you mean, are you trying to say I made the wrong decision” he asked looking at me.

“I think you shouldn’t have made such decision, you know life isn’t that easy” I said.

“I gat what you are trying to say. But can you tell me the different,

he said he is not going to be responsible for any of my needs, so, I told him not to pay my school fee either.

I don’t want him to start feeling like he is doing me a favor, I do that just to make it easier for him.

At least he has tried, he has been the one taking care of all my needs since I was born,, so he shouldn’t worry, am gonna be okay” he said.

“Am not happy with the decision you made, but I gat no choice, you are my friend and I need to support you doing your hard times” I said and hug him.

“Thanks buddy you are the best” he said with tears rolling down is cheek.

“Common stop crying that doesn’t suit you” he teased him.

“I don’t want anybody to find out, I just want Vicky to get betters, before I with know what to do with my life” Romeo said.

“Sure I won’t tell anyone. But we gat to start planning even before Vicky get better. You can leave your own life for her” I said.

“I know, I don’t just want them to get suspicion” he said.

“Yeah, but that shouldn’t stop us from planning ahead” I said.

“”Owen wait a minute, I guess I know what can make Vicky get better” he said smiling.

“What?” I asked.

“Do you remember Vicky like listening whenever we are playing violin, so that can be of great help” he said feeling excited.

“Yes I remember, but do you think that can help” I asked.

“Yes, according to what I read, you can help the person by doing or saying things you know makes him/ her happy, so that will help them get better quickly” Romeo said.

“Really! What are we still waiting for, when we have a way out?” I asked.

“Common let go and get the instrument in the school studio” Romeo said.

Authoress POV

Back to the hospital

Vicky ward

Romeo and Owen came into the hospital ward with the instrument.

“Romeo, how was it, I mean where is Tiana? Hope she didn’t do anything harsh to you” Mrs. Lane asked.

“She didn’t do anything, she was just trying to make me realized that I made a mistake, and now we sorted it out, my mum is such a sweetheart” Romeo lied.

“I know Tiana very well, she can be so stubborn sometimes, I am happy everything is alright now” Mrs. Lane said.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah everything is fine” Romeo said with and fake a smile.

“Why do I have the feeling that he is lying” Pamela said staring at him.

“Am sorry son, I am the cause of everything, I have spoken to the counselor and I also told him am going to be responsible for paying you school fee from now on” Mrs. Lane said.

“No, Ma’am there is no need for that, I will take care of my fees” Romeo said.

“Take care of your fee, as how?” Joyce asked.

“Oh I mean my parent will take care of that, you don’t need to, they don’t like someone doing a them favor” Romeo lied.

“I don’t know for how long you are going to lie Romeo, you are not good at lying” Owen thought.

“You don’t have to worry, Tiana is like my sister, so you don’t have to worry she won’t be angry” Mrs. Lane said.

“No ma, you don’t need to do that” Romeo insisted.

“Since you are insisting, I will like to have Tiana phone number, so I can call her and inform her that I have decided to start paying for your school fees, since am the one who has the biggest share in the school, am sure she won’t say no to me” Mrs. lane said.

“What will I do now? If I give her the number, she will find out about this, and all this is going to worsen Vicky health” Romeo thought.

“What are you thinking?” Mrs. Lane asked.

“Nothing” Romeo said. He searched his pocket pretending to be looking for his phone.

“Damn, I left my phone at home and I didn’t know her number off hand” Romeo lied.

“That bad of you, how could you not know your mum number, that the first number I have in my head” Annie said.

“Everyone aren’t the same, I don’t also know my mum number off hand” Owen said in defense of Romeo.

“That is okay, I will go and see her later” Mrs. Lane said.

“That a good idea” Romeo said happily.

“Hey! what do you want to do with this instrument?” Pamela asked.

Romeo look around wondering if she was referring to him.

“Am talking to you, why are you pretending like you don’t know that you are the one am talking to” Pamela said.

“How do you expect me to know that you are referring to me, when my name is not hey?” Romeo asked.

“I think you should know by now” Pamela said with an eyeroll.

Romeo didn’t reply her.

“Common Henry, let play this for her” Romeo said.

“Are you out of your mind, I thought they said you are very intelligent, so, why don’t you just use your sense. This is a hospital and you want to turn it to a club, don’t you know, they are other people’s in the hospital” Pamela said.

“Hey don’t ever talk to me in such manner again, Ma, can you please tell the doctor to move her to the VIP ward” Romeo said and faced Mrs. Lane.

“Romeo, what are you trying to do” Joyce asked.

“Good question, but please, just wait and see for yourself” Romeo said. Owen was surprised at Romeo replied.

“They are not going to move her from this ward, if you don’t tell us what you want to do with this violin” Pamela said.

“Pamela calm down, Romeo is like you brother, and am very sure he can’t do anything to harm Vicky, so chill” Mrs. Lane said.

“Mum, stay out of this! are you ready to tell us or you aren’t?” Pamela asked and moved closer to Romeo.

“WHO ARE YOU? Why do I need to take permission from you before doing anything

?” Romeo asked angrily.

“Romeo calm down, I can justify your anger, but you know our mission here, is to make Vicky get better as soon as possible, so, I will advise you to keep you cools while I explained to them” Owen whispered to Romeo.

“Okay” Romeo replied trying to calm himself down.

“You guys don’t need to fight, you all know Vicky health is very critical, so, we have decided to do what we think we make her get better soon” Owen said and explained everything to them.

“That’s such a bad idea, only dump people can think in such way” Pamela said and hissed.

“Whats f*cking your problem, since you know you can’t do anything that will make her get better, why don’t you stay out of this, and stop blabbing, you are so dump, that you don’t understand anything, the only thing you know to do best since I have known you, is to shout and fight, that all you know, there is no common sense” Romeo said angrily.

“HOW DARE YOU!” Pamela thundered and try to slap Romeo.

He held her hand in the air. “You dare not do that, not even in your next life, if you try it again, young lady, I will make sure you regret it” Romeo said and drop her hand angrily.

“Why is both of you behaving like a child” Mrs. Lane shouted frustrated.

“Ma, can you please do has I said” Romeo said and was about going out of the ward.

Pamela rushed to block him from going out.

“Who are you, to think you can order my mother around?” Pamela asked.

“Ewww, your mouth smells, DISGUSTING” Romeo said and cover his nose with his hand.

Pamela stood speechless.

“How was that” He said with a wink and drag her aside so that he can pass.

Pamela put her hand in her mouth and smelled it.

Henry burst out laughing. Pamela look at him with a frown. Henry start to scratch his head.
