Chapter 8 - I CAN'T DO THIS 1

STEPHANIE'S POV

 "OMG.... you won't believe what happened earlier this morning in the hall way" Becky said

 "What happened?" I asked

 "Well, Jasmine got into trouble with Jayden again and he really made her pay" Becky replied giggling 

 "Haven't you seen the latest news on the school's blog?"Tess asked

 "I haven't checked it today" I answered 

 "Here, watch this video" Tess said handing me her phone 

 I was actually wondering what the video would be about and if it would be worth watching. I stared at the screen for a few seconds then I finally saw Jasmine being dealt with by Jayden and it was so worth watching. I really wish I could have been there to witness it all

 "Serves that witch right. She deserves more than this though" I said smiling mischievously as I cooked up a plan in my head

 "What are you planning to do to her Stephanie?" Tess asked with a mischievous smile on her face

 "Yeah, I'll get it on camera and then post it on the school's blog so I can get more followers too" Becky said giggling like a child

 "No way, I'm going to be the one to post it" Tess replied her

 They both started arguing and it was getting in the way of my planning 

 "Will you both keep quiet and let me think" I half yelled at them and they went mute

 "None of you will be posting anything. I wouldn't want Jayden finding out about this. I already told him I wouldn't bully the little witch anymore" I explained to them

 "Makes sense. You wouldn't want to get on his bad side" Becky said

 "Yeah, especially now that everyone thinks you're both in a relationship" Tess added

 "That's enough now, let's go" I said and we headed to our next class

~~LUNCH TIME~~

 We were heading to the cafeteria when I saw Jasmine heading towards the restroom. I immediately thought of something and changed my direction 

 I followed her until she entered the restroom 

JASMINE POV

 After what happened earlier this morning, Tiffany and I went back to class and thankfully, I didn't run into Jayden again

 It was already lunch time and Tiffany and I headed to the cafeteria to get our lunch

 "Are you sure you're feeling better and don't need to go home?" Tiffany asked me with concern written all over her face

 "Yes, I'm fine and don't need to go home" I said reassuringly 

 We got out lunch and headed to take our seats at the table. We were already half way through our lunch when I suddenly felt pressed then excused myself to go to the restroom 

 "Do you need me to follow you?" Tiffany asked as I stood up

 "No thanks, I can manage" I said turning to leave the cafeteria 

 "Call me if you need my help" Tiffany yelled behind me

 I raised my thumbs up to let her know I heard her coz I wasn't gonna yell back at her

 On my way to the restroom, I suddenly felt as though I was being followed so I started to walk faster until I reached the restroom 

 I had just finished relieving myself when I heard footsteps outside, I immediately stood up, adjusted my clothes and tried to listen to know who it was

I didn't hear any voices but suddenly I felt something really cold pouring down from my head to my shoes

 "Aaarrrggghhh" I yelled as the water continued pouring down on me

 I was completely soaked and shivering

 "Who did that? Who's there?" I asked but got no reply

 I immediately tried to open the door to see who it was but I couldn't open it. The door was locked from outside and I was stuck inside 

I banged the door and yelled for help but got no response. I decided to call Tiffany for help then I realised I had left my phone in my bag at the cafeteria 

 Next thing I heard was the bell which signified that lunch time was over and it was time for the next class 

 I was so pissed that I kicked the water closet with all my might causing me severe pain afterwards. I sat on the water closet thinking of a way to escape when I heard a familiar voice outside 

TIFFANY'S POV

 "It's time for the next class and Stephanie hasn't returned yet" I said to my self while checking the time on my phone 

 I decided to call her then I felt something vibrating in her bag which I was holding 

 "Are you kidding me, she actually left her phone behind" I said to myself and decided to go to the restroom 

 "Stephanie are you in here?" I called out to her when I entered the restroom 

 "Tiffany I'm trapped in here" I heard her voice behind one of the toilet doors

 I immediately started opening the doors one after the other until I finally found the one she was in

 "Goodness, what happened to you?" I asked staring at the now drenched Stephanie in front of me 

 "Someone poured cold water all over me while I was in the toilet and also locked me in" She explained wringing her uniform 

 "Let's get you changed" I said and led her to the girl's changing room in the gym

 "Here, wear this" I said handing her a sports uniform 

 "Thank you" she replied 

 She changed quickly and we hurried to class. Luckily the teacher hadn't arrived yet so we just went directly to our seats and took out our materials 

STEPHANIE POV

 "Fill the bucket with water quickly" I whispered to Tess after we entered the restroom 

 "Here, it's filled" she said and handed the bucket of cold water to me

 I walked stealthily to the door of the toilet where Jasmine was in and emptied the bucket right into the toilet

 "Aaarrrggghhh" I heard her scream and I covered my mouth with my hand to prevent myself from laughing too loudly 

 I dropped the bucket and locked the door from the outside 

 "Who did that? Who's there?" I heard her yelling from inside and trying to open the door 

 I turned and left the bathroom quickly with Becky and Tess before someone else would come in

 I was satisfied with what I did to her and couldn't help but laugh after we left the restroom 

 "I wish I could have seen her face" I said laughing and holding my tummy which started hurting coz of how hard I was laughing 

 "Yeah, seeing her face would have been the cherry on the cake" Tess said 

 "Let's head back to class" I said after I heard the bell

JASMINE'S POV

 Today was really a bad day for me. First, I had a nightmare then got bullied by Jayden then I got drenched in the toilet 

 Luckily, the rest of the day was peaceful and it was finally time to go home. Tiffany and I packed our bags and headed to the parking lot. I had already changed back into my uniform before we headed to the parking lot

 We both chatted on our way there and only stopped when we got there. We got into her car then she skilfully drove out of the school and headed towards my house

 "Today sure was hectic" she said with her eyes focused on the road 

 "Sure was" I replied honestly 

 "Make sure to get enough rest and don't strain your waist too much or you may have to sit in a wheelchair" she said jokingly 

 "I won't want that to happen" I replied and we both laughed 

 We got to my house and I got down from the car then waved to Tiffany before heading inside 

 "Welcome back baby" My mum said immediately I entered 

 "Hey mum, I thought you'd be at your stall" I said heading to the kitchen to get some water 

 "I already sold that old stall, we won't be needing it anymore" Mum said nonchalantly 

 "Huh.." I was speechless and almost spat out the water in my mouth

 I never imagined my mum would say that. That stall was our only source of income 

 "Why do you look shocked? We're moving out on Saturday so start packing your things gradually okay" mum said

 Oohhh, I totally forgot that mum's long lost friend had invited us to live with her. I was happy and then I remembered something 

 "Mum, did you tell Auntie that I also wanted to work there? I asked mum 

 "Yes dear, I spoke with her about it earlier today. She was against it at first but I was able to persuade her to agree" mum said

 That was all I needed to hear. I just hope saturday comes by quickly 

 "Okay" I said and headed to my room

 I had my bath and completed my assignments before collapsing on the bed

 "Argh, I'm so tired and hungry" I said and checked the time

 "Woowww, how long was I in here for? It's already past 7" I said to myself and grabbed my phone heading out of my room

 "Oh good, I was just about to call you down for dinner. Come have your sit quickly" Mum said immediately I got to the dining area 

 I immediately took my seat coz I was famished and couldn't wait to devour the delicious meal in my front

 Mum also took her seat and we said our prayers before we started eating 

 "Slow down already, the food won't run away" Mum said laughing as she watched me eating like someone who's been starved for days

 We both chatted and laughed during and after dinner 

 "Good night mum" I said to her after I finished cleaning the dishes 

 "Good night baby, sweet dreams" Mum said and headed to her own room

 I suddenly remembered the nightmare I had the other night and I immediately got goosebumps 

 I went into my room and layed down on my bed feeling so exhausted. I was staring at the ceiling and I didn't realise when I fell asleep
