The school had closed for the day, Charlotte was outside with Adam they were walking home before Princess interrupted them.
"Hi Adam, can I go home with you."she said sheepishly looking down gently
"No, why?"he asked briefly
"My driver's at the mechanic repairing the car, because it's faulty."said Princess
"Oh I see. You can get a cab anyway."said Adam frankly
"Oh really,"asked Princess unimpressed
"Yeah."he said
"I thought we're going the same direction."said Princess looking intently at him
"I can't help you princess because I'm taking Charlotte home."he replied firmly
"Oh I see, can't she go home herself."asked Princess sneering, looking at Charlotte annoyed
"It's fine Adam you can take her home."said Charlotte softly
"No. I am taking you home myself."he said adamant, holding her hands firmly and Princess was vexed at the situation. Charlotte turned to move with Adam before Princess stop her.
"Wait. Charlotte what happened to you cause I know you're fine."she asked pretending
"She's a little bit down so I need to take her home."cut in Adam
"I didn't ask you Adam."she said disapprovaling and turned to Charlotte "What happened between you two I heard the rumors."she continued eyes twitching looking at Charlotte slylishly
"Oh please you started the rumors."said Charlotte returning the gaze back at her
"You thought I did?"asked Princess sneering
"I didn't think so I knew you did."said Charlotte eyes glaring with anger
"Yeah I did."said Princess smiling coyly
"What Princess?"surprised Adam
"Yes I did," said Princess red in face and turned to Charlotte "Aren't you ashamed of yourself you like Caleb and now Adam."she blorted out angrily at Charlotte
"What?"said Charlotte taken back
"Yeah, you like the attention why don't you pick Caleb and leave Adam out of it. You slut."said Princess arm crossing facing her squarely
"How could you said such a thing about me?"screamed Charlotte and she slapped her hard on the face
"What my face, how dare you!"the two girls started fighting. Adam was speechless at Princess outburst, he tried to separate them before Caleb came running with Idris. Vivian was surprised at the commotion, she was looking from far she couldn't come closer and she left the premises with her driver
"What's wrong guys?"asked Idris breathlessly
"It was Princess, causing trouble again."said Adam dumfounded at her actions
"You again."said Idris sternly
"She was the one started the rumors,she confessed it some minute ago isn't it Adam?"said Charlotte turned to Adam
"Yes it was Princess that was spreading the rumors all over the classes."said Adam
"What Princess?" said Caleb looking at her disbeliefing "And what do you want to gain from it?" asked Caleb annoyed
"She likes Adam it was obviously. That's why she was sabotaging me."cut in Charlotte looking at Princess disgusting.
"I see."said Caleb looking at Princess wearily. She was looking down and couldn't raised her face upward towards them
"It's okay Charlotte," said Idris and turned to Princess sternly "We shall report you to the principal if you don't stop this nonsense now."said Idris sternly
"Yes we will. "said Caleb agreed
"I myself will report you to your parents."said Adam threatening
"What?"asked Princess mouth gasping
"You think I can't do that?"said Adam looking at her frankly
"Please don't report me to my parents."said Princess pleading with Adam
"Apologize to Charlotte now, if you don't want me to report you."said Adam softly
"I'm m m sorry."said Princess stammering and Charlotte was looking at her uncertainty
"We can't hear you." said Caleb
"I'm sorry Charlotte."said Princess lamely her eyes down
"So please stop the rumors and stay away from me, Charlotte and others I'm warning you for the last time."warned Adam sternly
"I will,"replied Princess meekly
"Understood?"said Idris angrily
"Yeah I'm sorry guys."said Princess and she left the place ashamedly
"I never knew she was capable of doing that to someone that attended her birthday party."exclaimed Caleb disgusted
"I am sorry Charlotte, I believe the rumors will stop now."said Adam patting her gently
"Thank you." smiling at Adam warmly and turned to others "Thank you guys, I really appreciate."said Charlotte cheerfully and they all left the school premises.
Adam's driver dropped Charlotte at her place and she came down from the car.
"Thanks Adam,"she dropped from the car and waved goodbye to him
"You're welcome Charl, goodbye."he said and waved back at her
In the evening inside Charlotte's bedroom, her sister Deborah walked inside the room
"Hi Charl how was school today?"asked Deborah
"It was fine,"she said shrugged
"Fine you sound unhappy are you okay?"asked
"I am fine, "
"Please talk I'm listening."said Deborah tickling her
"Deb stop,"
"If you don't tell me I won't stop."
"Okay I will."
"Now you're talking,"said Deborah
"Okay Deb,"she said smiling Charlotte explained everything that happened at the school today to her sister
"Whoa you being princess did that to you."
"Yeah I knew she was the one that spread the rumors."
"And she confessed that to you what a bad girl."
"Yeah."
"Because she likes Adam and she was sabotaging you so that she will be out of the picture."
"What a wicked fellow."
"Thank God she has been exposed now everyone will know who she's now."
"Yeah even Adam has warned her to stay away from him and his friends "
"He did!"
"Yeah he warned if not he would report her to her parents."
"That's good."
"I never knew Vivian will believe the rumors over me."
"It's not her fault just forgive her."
"I have forgiven her."
"You're a good friend. Let's go and sleep."
"Okay,"Charlotte off the light and she climbed the bed to sleep.
