The laughter that erupted from the crowd that gathered to watch what was going on rang continuously in Tessa's ears, it was like she was being spun on a wheel of embarrassment. She didn't bother picking the gift up and neither did Jimmy. She didn't know when tears dropped down her eyes and she was more embarrassed to even lift her hands to wipe them off. Nobody stood up for her to shut Dominic down for her misdeeds. Samantha was not here or she would have stood up for her, she was still in class. At the back of her mind she hoped that Jimmy would shout at Dominic for her rude behavior or at least have said something to her that would put her in her place. This was it for her, the end of high school,her life would be more miserable than before.Jimmy steadily walked to Dominic who smiled like she had achieved a medal or some sort of other award, then Tessa turned and round pushing through the throng of people that were pointing at her and still laughing, she couldn't believe it. Jimmy,

“It's not like I'm saying it so you can have the chance to comment or judge on my relationship life, I'm just being honest the best way I can, what Dominic did to you wasn't right, but it doesn't make her bad person to me. I know she can be mean but I can't still write her off. She is still my friend”. Jimmy said, not trying to make it look like he was defending her.Tessa did not agree with him “You are mistaken there, the fact that she has never been mean to you doesn't mean she isn't a bad bad person, let's say you are not Jimmy McPherson, how do you think she would have treated you, or does she treat your other friends the way she does to you or there's some slight difference. But you are right, you definitely know her more than I do so it's your call to make if she is a bad person or not, besides I didn't come here to discuss Dominic”.“You are right, let's forget that tonight and focus on us, so what do you say about my proposal or should I call it a request?”.“I don't know wha

She did it. She couldn't not believe she retaliated. It felt so good, but why is she crying? That was the confusing thing right now. She dried her eyes,but more tears still came out from it. Was she humiliated?, No She didn't feel that sense of humiliation at all, as far as she was concerned. Dominic got what she deserved and she had it coming all this while. What she could not understand was why Jimmy had to go to Dominic's side, it was clear to everyone that she got hit first and she did that as a way of defending herself. Normally she would have held her cheek or maybe cried in front of everyone before racing out, but who would have come to her aid then. She was done being that kind of girl.From what happened, Jimmy probably felt she was too violent,then she understood it, the reasons for the tears, she was hoping that at least Jimmy would support her now and she would probably hear something that she missed.the other time something similar happened years ago, but this time Domin

Her voice came out as a squeak betraying the confidence she felt inside her, she could not even look Robinson McPherson in the face, it was not like he a threatening look, but he exuded this aura of authoritativeness that could not be denied in any room. She managed to step closer to him so he could see her fully and assess that she was in no way a harmless person and it was just an accident.“So you did this?, Where you drunk or was ait something else”.Jimmy didn't want his father interrogating Tessa she might feel intimidated so he tried to speak up for her but she did for herself surprisingly. “No Sir,I wasn't drunk, neither did I take anything at that party,it was a honest mistake. I came to the parking lot to leave the party, no one was around and it was dark,so I assumed it was safe to drive off like that,I admit that was a wrong move and could have cost his life, but fortunately it wasn't at all bad”. She hoped what she said will allay his anger. That was the truth and she ca

Tessa looked at her cousin awkwardly, she has not even accepted to go out with Jimmy McPherson yet and her cousin was already talking about clothes. “I don't know what you are talking about Samantha, besides we are just coming from the hospital, I hit him with my car and I had to rush him to the hospital, luckily for me he wasn't badly injured or I'll be in the police station by now, that is why I am just coming in, I am really tired and don't have anytime to engay in your mischievous talks”.Samantha won't take no for an answer, she backed the door and hopped on the bed, making the Tessa shake on the bed as well, “can you hear yourself right now Tessa, this is every girls dream you know, well except me of course, I never had even a crush on him. But you on the other hand have been crazy about this boy ever since you know he even existed, and you don't want to go out or rather you are not sure of going out with him. Ladies will kill to be in your position now”.“And by ladies you mean
