DEAN : I’ve heard you … Mr. Sammy …you are gradually turning into a loudmouth …

SAMMY : you say what ???????!( clenching his fist )

NELLY : (hitting the table ) can you guys quit all this blabbing … we are suppose to be thinking of a way to keep Steve in the football team ….

SAMMY : I can’t believe Michelle can carry trivial issues this far… and make it personal

STANLEY and two of his friends walks into their conversation and he happens to hear the last statement from Dean…

STANLEY : who is the he-devil and the irritating couples ? I just hope its….

NELLY : (bluntly interrupts him ) you just hope its not what ?? look here, gentle man I don’t know where you learnt your manners from but the last time I checked, walking up on people in the middle of their conversation is uncalled of …..

STEVE : You don’t that way about Sandra .. She’s like you …

STANLEY : Oh, still defending her when she’s gracing the underwear of your dear friend little Paul

STEVE : What ?!!!!! (Steve couldn’t believe his ears ).. No ..thats no true … he jumped on Stanley and sent quick jabs at him ..causing him to bleed from his nose and mouth … Sammy and Dean quickly rushed to separate him from the fight and dragged him out of the cafeteria…

SAMMY : hey man, you’ve got to keep your emotions in check .. how could you beat up the son of the proprietor in such manner… you’re in for some shit you know…

DEAN : well you are one hell of a fighter.. thumbs up .. We’ll need to fix this shit soon because I heard his dad will be coming within the week..

NELLY’S POV

I couldn’t believe what I heard from Stanley I know he was a lying motherf-vker but the way Steve launched at him and even defended the girl in question only meant one thing : ITS TRUE … All this while Steve never told me he had a girlfriend.. I’ve been preserving other people property …woah .. Nelly you are such a food.. he was no different from Stanley.. I hate him , I hate him but I love him , I really do

NELLY : Steve, what was the meaning of what just happened in there ? and who is Sandra

STEVE : I’m really sorry Nelly but I can explain

NELLY : (raising her voice ) You can explain what ?! that you hid such information from me …

SAMMY : just calm down Nelly .. I think Steve can ……

NELLY : oh, just shut up .. I not talking to you

DEAN : oops, urm.. guys we are making some audience.. let’s leave here and talk things over …

NELLY : There’s nothing to talk about( turning to Steve ) you are a backstabber …..

STEVE : common Nelly, you’re thinking too much …just hear me out…(walking closer to her, she stooped him on his tracks and walked out on them )…

STEVE’S POV

what is really going on ?
I can’t grasp this whole stuff anymore…

Sandra and Paul sleeping together … No..No..

but how did Stanley know so much about me ?

Life must be really unfair dealing all this blow to me at once..

I have a lot of findings to do …
