“That’s why I told you to be patient. Is good you know now. Bye junior”Cindy said and walked away from my side.

Mr Emery walked majestically to the stage. He was given the microphone.

But you should all knows that among many people there’s always a vitorious.

Only one will be the winner. So I am standing here right now to announce the first three winners.

And they will be rewarded greatly. The school that took the third position is The Champion college.

“WOW!” Champion student shouted and ran to the stage.

Romeo’s eyes met with his dad. He feigns a fake smile.

Romeo got teary eyes. “Why are you so worried? Do you want to cry? What’s the problem?” Pamela asked.

“I don’t think we can win, not even the second position” Romeo replied.

Pamela smiles. “Don’t bother, you are the one who gave us the courage to have fun, where are all your courage gone to?” Pamela asked.

“Am not scared, I was only worried” Romeo lied.

“You are scared, is written all over your face. Is there anything you are hidding from us?” Kiles asked.

“The school with the second position is St Louis. They did great, am very proud of them” Mr. Emery announced.

“They rushed to the stage dancing. Romeo laughed seeing how happy they are.

“Do you know what, you are just too complicated.

Sometimes you smiles and sometimes you look scared. What’s the problem?.

I want to know, Please tell me”Pamela asked looking at him in the eyes.

Kiles was so angry.

“I am very scared….., I don’t think we can win with my dad standing there, he never wants me to be a musician, he’s a strong-headed man “Romeo stammered.

“Hmmm”Pamela chuckled and kissed him on his lips. He was shocked and his mouth went wide opened.

Kile’s eyes widened. Joyce and Annie saw this and smiled.

Romeo touched his lips and thinks if is true

“Do you just kissed me?”He asked.

“Are you still scared, I just used that to calm you down. Maybe it will helped nothing more”Pamela lied.

“Oh, hmmm. what do you want to asked me the other time?”Romeo asked.

“I just want to ask if you are scared, but you proved to me you aren’t a coward. You performed greatly” Pamela replied.

“Why do I have the feeling that she want to tell me something else. She seems to be lying” Romeo thought.

“I only want to ask if you love me and nothing more. I wanted to know my fate, I can’t keep this with myself anymore. I will wait till the competition ends.

Then I will have time to speak with you. I love you Romeo” Pamela’s subconscious mind said.

“I love you, Pamela,” Romeo’s subconscious mind said.

“The winner of this competition is st Patrick’s” Mr Emery shouted.

“WOW” Romeo and Pamela shouted and hugged each other. They break the hug and ran to the stage with the mate.

“Hurray, hurray” Romeo shouted dancing.

His mum saw the happiness on his face and smiled.

“Am happy for you Buddy, didn’t I tell you. You are the boss” Owen said and pull him into a bone-breaking hug.

“WOW, am proud of you my guys. How I wished you are still in our school then we would have won”Alina said.

“Que sera sera, whatever will be will be”Romeo sings.

“Congratulations to you”‘Mr. Emery said and shake hands with him.

“Thanks, dad, oh sorry I mean thanks Mr. Emery,” Romeo said smiling.

“You will be surprised, isn’t it. I will never attempt to fail you, not when we are in a deal.

You challenge me that you will take care of yourself and become great without me. I want to see your potential. I want you to prove it. And let’s see who wins” Mr. Emery thought to himself.

“I don’t need to prove anything. You should see am cool, healthy, and happy without you.

You are just a nerve in my throat and I am happy I have great people around me. Who lemme forget my worries anytime I look worried.

I will prove to you, Mr. Emery. Not as a son but as the son you disown”Romeo also thought.

It’s just like their heart is connected that they could hear each other thoughts.

They were given the media. Pamela and Romeo hold the media and raised it. Just as the other student did.

They dance happily and congratulate themselves before leaving the stage.

*******

“Like am seriously overwhelmed. I can’t believe it”Pamela said shaking her b*ttock to Joyce and Annie.

“See your babe” Owen whispered to Romeo.

“Oh, oh common”Romeo shouted.

Pamela’s signed and stop shaking her b*ttock.

“Don’t kill the vibe girl, give it all. We are loving it”A guy said from the school who took the third position.

“Hey!”Kiles yelled and rushed towards him.

“That’s not a big deal. Why are you taking it seriously”A girl from the school said and blocked him from going to meet him?

“She’s right, he is only kidding,” Annie’s crush said.

Annie saw him and quickly throw her face away.

“That’s doesn’t mean he shouldn’t know his limit. He should watch his mouth” Romeo said angrily.

“We should celebrate and not fight,” Pamela said.

Romeo shakes his head and smiles.

“Romeo, save my life” Angela who has been stuck with James ran to Romeo.

“Where have you been girl?”Romeo asked.

“Ahhhhh…, James is not giving me a breathing space. He’s too clingy and a talkative”Angela said with imaginary tears.

Romeo burst into laughter.

“You got your march. I have been wondering if you disappear” Romeo said.

“Since we’ve come here, he has been around me. Even when we are celebrating on the stage, he didn’t allow me to leave his side.

I am doom, my end has finally come? James is an evil power sent to destroy me with his talk “Angela said with imaginary tears.

Romeo and Owen burst out laughing.

Romeo laughed so hard that he couldn’t control himself.

“Why are you laughing at me?”Angela asked with a pout.

“Why do you say that, is only trying to give you a part of your own medicine. You think you are the only one that can talk.

He’s only trying to prove that he’s a perfect march for you. You won’t talk without getting a reply.

He would be your gist partner”Romeo taunted her trying to control himself.

“You are an idiot,” Angela said hitting him.

“To be sincere, you look more beautiful just for some hours you spent with James. You are beautiful darling”Romeo teased.

“WOW am blushing. You aren’t bad either” Angela said and smile.

“I think there’s a chemistry between those two. Angela seems to like Romeo.

What do you think?”Annie asked.

“How am I supposed to know. Am not in the position to answer your question” Pamela said unhappily.

“I think you shouldn’t waste any more time to confess your feeling to Romeo before is too late. Angela might ask him out and you might lose him” Joyce said.

“You guys should leave me first, am confused right now,” Pamela said.

*********

St Louis school are about to leave to their school. Romeo hugged Owen and wave at the rest.

James came to meet him.

“What’s up, Romeo?”James asked.

Romeo wanted to laugh when he remembered what Angela said. But he controls himself.

“You can laugh no one is stopping you. But I want to ask you something” James said.

“Go ahead. Am listening”Romeo said.

“Have you ever thought for once that Angela loves you a lot?”James asked.

“That’s not the truth, we are only good friends,” Romeo said.

“That’s is the truth,” Annie said coming closer.
