Chapter 115
” I feel so ashamed to come to you Arusha but i must apologize, I’m so sorry for everything, for the pains I’ve caused you, the embarrassment.. the..” Jessica was saying.
She had finally summoned courage to approach him.
Students were leaving the class to the cafeteria already.
“You’re forgiven Jessy, for everything” Arusha said.
“Really?” Jessica asked.
“Yes” Arusha smiled.
“Thank you” Jessica smiled shyly.
“I apologized to Irish also and she forgave me, she promised to make beautiful dresses for me” Jessica added, her face full of smiles.
She loves dresses.
“Woah, lucky you” Arusha smiled.
“And Mr Harlow is around, will you come over during weekend to see him?” Jessica asked. “Wow, he’s finally around. I’m not sure i can come over by weekend though” Arusha said. “I promise I’m not gonna throw things at you, you’ll leave the house in one piece”Jessica said and they laughed.
“Okay, I’ll try to come over then”Arusha said.
“Alright” Jessica said and turn to Olivia,
“I.. i asked you a question before leaving earlier” Jessica picked her fingers anxiously.
She has no friends anymore and coming to school and leaving without having anyone to talk to would be so terrible, not when she’s used to having people around her.
“Yes Jessy, We’re friends” Olivia smiled.
“Oh.. my! Thank you” Jessica was touched, she had thought Olivia would refuse. “Why thanking me? I’m the one happy here to have a beautiful and intelligent girl as a friend” Olivia said as she got to her feet.
She stretched out her arms for a hug.
Jessica’s eyes glistened with tears and she tried to sniff back her tears before hugging Olivia. Her tears dropped on Olivia’s clothed back and Olivia felt it, tears rushed to her face too but she did a good job in stopping it.
Arusha wondered how easily females cry.
It’s just like they have a pool of water in their eyes, ready to pour out anytime.
They disengaged from the hug and Jessica cleaned her tears.
“Aren’t you gonna ask me to be your friend too?” Arusha asked.
“Hey! Stick to Ryan” Olivia said sternly and he laughed.
“Punch your phone number in here” Jessica handed her phone happily to Olivia and Olivia gladly punched her number.
“Yours too” She said Arusha and he did the same.
“I’m going to the cafeteria, you both are going to wait for me when school’s over right?” Jessica asked.
“Of course, we’ll talk some more and get to know one another” Arusha said.
“Why don’t you join us for lunch break, I’m afraid of how you’re gonna be in the cafeteria” Olivia said.
“Ohh.. yes, the students can be silly” Arusha said.
“You mean.. i can join you?” Jessica was awed. She also wasn’t ready for what she’s gonna face at the cafeteria.
“Yes”Arusha and Olivia said in unison.
“Thank you so much.. but, Mr Natalie” Arusha said worriedly.
“No problem, i told you to join us right? You don’t have to be worried”Olivia said.
“Mr Natalie’s daughter”Arusha joked and Olivia rolled her eyes at him.
He laughed.
“Are you related to him?” Jessica asked Olivia.
“No, but you’ll know who i am to him soon” Olivia smiled.

Few minutes later, Olivia and Jessica were chatting like long lost friends.
“Arrgh!” Arusha groaned.
“I’m gonna ask Ryan to start attending Ivy Royals” He added and they laughed.

“Ohh.. you’re back?” Irish smiled as Jessica walked into her workshop.
“Yes i am” Jessica grinned.
She not even changed into her house wear yet.
She couldn’t wait to tell Irish that Arusha and Olivia had forgiven her and she was officially their friend now.
“You look happy” Irish sensed.
“I am! They forgave me” Jessy said.
“I knew they would” Iriah smiled, this shows Olivia is also someone who doesn’t hold grudge. “And not only that…” Jessica sprawled on the chair.
“What?” Irish turned to her curiously.
“I’m officially their friend!” She said excitedly.
“Woah! That’s great, you guys will make great peers” Irish said.
“They even made me eat with them in the class, they stopped me from going to the cafeteria because i might be mocked. ”
“Eat in the class? Isn’t that prohibited?” Irish asked.
“It is but.. Olivia has a phobia of eating amongst so many people. She’s allowed to eat in the class during lunch break, she made Arusha join her and I’m included now too!”
“Ohh” Irish said.
“Yeah… School was much fun than i thought it’d be, i thought I’d be bored with no one to talk to but Olivia and Arusha kept my company and they are the funniest people on earth” Jessica laughed.
“Relatable” Irish smiled.
“I need to go freshen up… and you’ve delivered those dresses?” Jessica asked, seeing the dresses she packed wasn’t there anymore.
“Yes i have and i got great feedbacks” Irish grinned, she’s glad she’s starting to create a name for herself.
“The feedbacks should be great, you’re great yourself” Jessica said.
“Thank you” Irish said.
“Are you okay Irish?” Jessica asked, noticing how pale she looked.
“Yes i am” Irish said.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Are you sure?” Jessica asked.
“Of course” Irish smiled.
“Okay then, I’m off, I’ll be back.” Jessica said.
“Okay” Irish watched her leave and smiled to herself.
It’s unbelievable to think this is Jessica.
Woah… when people change, they’re hardly recognizable.
Sarah already left early in the morning.
She sighed and rested her head, she doesn’t know why she has been feeling down.
