Episode 1

I opened my eyes, it's morning already I looked at the clock placed on the table beside by bed. it's nine O'Clock, I rolled my eyes, today is going to be a long day. I sluggishly stood up on the bed, I don't want go to the office I hate their faces, its irritates me but I need to go I have an urgent business contract to sign at the office. Going to my company is like a torture, I'm going to see that devil's face, Diana Rose, my so called best friend, I sigh.

I sat on the bed, memories of me and Diana starts flashing in. Diana and I were so close, I remember the very day we met and how we became best friend. I remember my first day in high school.

Flash back

Our class teacher is coming back to the class, a boy said. Everywhere became quiet, the teacher walked in with me by her side. My was head was face down, as shyness took over me.

Good morning Miss Jane, they all greeted. she smiled warmly at them and greeted back, she must be so nice, I said to myself, I won't have troubles here being a transfer student. I've been to so many schools, they kick me out because of the trouble I always cause. I pray I won't be kicked out from this school.

she's Samantha Adams, she was transferred to this school today, I want you guys to treat her fine.

Yes Miss Jane, they chorus.

she turned to me, Samantha, your seat is over there.

I went to my seat and sat down.

I'm Diana Rose, a girl seated beside me said.

I ignored her and concentrated on the book I brought out to read. I wasn't the type that make friends, I believe staying alone is the best thing, I wasn't nice to people either not even my parent.

she noticed I wasn't interested in knowing her name so she turned to face her book too.

The school was over, I packed my things went out of the school to wait for my driver. I stood there, patiently waiting for my driver when two girls around my age came to meet me

You must be the new girl.

I ignored them and move to another place.

I'm talking to you how dare you ignore us, one of them said.

I looked away, one of them push me making me to fall to the ground. I shot them a deadly look, I stood up to avoid trouble, I didn't want my first day to start with complain. my parent will be so disappointed in me, I heard my anger and walk away.

They followed me, this two are looking for trouble they don't know what I can do to them.

We are still talking to you, how dare you walk away.

leave, before I do something to you too and it won't result well for both of you, don't let me loose it.

what can you do? oh we heard your Dad married a black woman, what's the country again? she asked the other girl.

Nigeria.

oh Nigeria, I wonder how your mom manage to seduce your dad making him marry her. they starts laugh.

Don't talk bad about my mother. I couldn't hold back my anger, I brought out a pen from my bag.

Stop bullying her.

I turned back to see where the voice was coming from. it was the girl I ignored earlier, she walked up to us.

who gave you the right to interfere, one of the girl said.

If you continue, I'll go report you to the school authority. I saw everything that happened and how you push her.

They scoff, who will believe you?.

I video everything that happened, go ahead and bully her and see if I won't take this recording to the school authority.

We won't, Samantha we are sorry for insulting and bullying you. They ran off after apologizing.

Are you okay?.

I didn't ask you to fight for me?

Can you be thankful, I just help you.

Did I ask for your help?

Hey Samantha, you don't have to be so grumpy. I did something I would have done to anyone, so count it as a friend helping a friend.

Did I ask for your friendship?, I don't need your friendship, I sad arrogantly. since you just help me out, I own you a favor but don't think we are now friend.

she smiled" Okay Miss Samantha, your wish is my command.

End of flash back.

That was how our friendship started, how could I ever thought she would steal my fiance but I'm strong I won't let this weaken me, I'll make them pay for their betrayal.

I stood up from the bed, took off my nighties, tied a towel to my body and went into the bathroom to have a shower.

Few minutes later

I was done bathing, I wore my suit and carried by bag ready to leave, I walked of the room.

Samantha, ain't you going to eat something before you leave" Mom voice echoed from the dinning room "

Mom, I'm not hungry maybe when I get back.
