They resume school after the weekend only for them to have an announcement there was going to be a basketball game the and their biggest enemy. The school started effortlessly towards the game. Sweetheart, sorry l was late, Josh apologized. Don't worry dear,l understand, she assured giving him the widest smile. Oh really, so you have forgiven me that easily, that's nice, he complimented. I'm doing this because l expect you to win and get the trophy for our school, if you don't l might never forgive you, she remarked. Sweetheart you know it's left with a few weeks before we leave high school and as much as l do, l also want us to have the final victory before we leave, he said. Ok if you win l promise to give you the best surprise, she promised. I can't wait for it, he replied happily. The day finally came for the game between the schools, the boys were done changing and Josh dashes to meet Jordan. Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be on the court, she asked after seeing him. He pulls her along and they go into the changing room. Oh dear, what if someone sees us, she panicked. Sweetheart relax,l only wanted to see your face before l set off, you know you are my lucky charm, he said. Sure a sweet talker, she blushed. Josh it's time, he heard one of his team mates call to him, he bends down and seize Jordan's lips in a wanting and needing kiss making her flush. After what seem like forever while they were both absorbed in their kissing there was a knock on the door making Josh grumble and Jordan gently getting off him. I think it's time you go, she said trying to catch her breath. I wish l could stay here he said leaning in only to be interrupted by Christian entering in on them, it's time lover boy, he said , she's not running away, another team mate butted in as he left reluctantly leaving a red faced Jordan. That was something, l need to end this before l'm too far gone and l think this is the right moment, she thought. The game was tough and in the second half there was still no chances of winning since both teams were in a tie and the tension in the air was felt. The teams were given extra minutes and about few seconds for it to end Christian shoot the ball into the net earning them a point and bringing the game to an end making the school emerge victorious. Josh runs to the bleachers to hug Jordan. We did it sweetheart and l love you so much, he yelled catching the attention of all around. Immediately Jordan pushed him back making him fall. With a shocked expression, he asked sweetheart what is wrong. Who is your sweetheart, she exclaimed getting the interest of those around with people murmuring. Sweetheart, please stop the joke, he continued. And who told you it was a joke, look Josh am sick and tired of you, l hate everything about you, l cringe at the sight of you, so you actually thought l was in love with you, guess what it was fake Josh, l just wanted to get back at you, it's over between us, she announced making the crowd gasp. Josh feels the pain of her words as it sank in as if he was been stabbed repeatedly, he shakes his head unable to believe the words that just came out of her mouth. You are not serious are you? What did l do wrong, he questioned. Well this joke's is on you how does it feel getting hurt by the most closest person to you, she smirked. Jordan you can't be for real right now, he hugged her. Let go of me she demanded pushing him back and making him stumble. I am been realistic and you are an idiot to think l was and will ever be in love with you, she said and left making people talk about Josh. He chased after her and caught her. Why,why did you lead me on l thought we had something, he shouted. Oh so now it hurts when you are the one getting played, huh, she retorted. Look Jordan if it is because of something you saw or heard then you are wrong, he tried explaining. Josh, didn't l tell you l had a surprise for you, well here it is the punishment for being a bad friend and letting Christian go to tge extend of what he did to Ella, because of what you told him, she said. So this was all a plan all along, this is about Ella , it dawned on him. You and your idea ruined her life, she replied. Look Jordan l want you and l will do anything to get you, he said. What else can you do than forcing yourself on me, she replied making him feel suffocated . Look Jordan let's put the past in the past, l'm not like that , its all in the past and l really regret the hand l had in that, l swear, he tried convincing her. Coming from the sinner himself, excuse me , she walked past him.

After the incident, Josh didn't report to school. Jordan aren't you worried about Josh, Diego asked earning a laugh from her. Like seriously Jordan it's not a joke anymore, Ella added. Look guys what he decides to do doesn't concern me, l really don't give a f**k, she replied. Didn't you even have an iota of love for him when you were dating, Ella asked. Not one bit cause l knew what l was doing from the beginning, such a guy doesn't deserve my love, she answered. What did the guy even do to you, Diego asked. He hurt a friend of mine indirectly and l don't want to go into the details, it was time for revenge and he deserves what he got, she told them. It's surprising you didn't tell us before that we were really shocked, l had to ask is that was really you, Diego said making them laugh. Do that more Ella, you know l really miss your carefree laughter and the old you, she encouraged. I will try but the old me will never come back, she said making the atmosphere gloomy. Enough about that, how about having a mini party at my place, he suggested. Yes, No both Jordan and Ella said simultaneously. I hate parties, Ella remarked. It's just the three of us celebrating a revenge best served, he assured. Okay l'm cool with that, she finally agreed. Then it's set , tomorrow guys, Diego said as he made his way to his car .

Josh had been in his room for days refusing to eat or talk to anyone, all he did was to drink making his parents worried. All their plans to get him out turned futile so his mom decided to call Christian knowing he was Josh's best friend after Christian heard what was going on he hurried straight to their home. He went and knocked on his door asking him to let him in only to be yelled at and asked to leave. Christian persisted and the door was open for him only to see a distraughted Josh looking like he hadn't shaved or bath for days and reeking of alcohol, with his room which was a total mess with everything scattered everywhere. Did a tornado occur here, he asked. She left me because of Ella , Josh said out of the blue. What do you mean, Chris quizzed. For suggesting something bad, l guess l do deserve it, he commenced. Don't say that, when was the last time you had your bath or your room cleaned, Chris asked only to turn and find Josh unconscious on the floor. He was later rushed to the hospital. Dipping his hands in his pocket he reaches for his phone calling Jordan and enquiring where she was but she only told him only after he said it was an emergency. Christian enters Diego's and meet's the trio playing a game of cards. Jordan you have to come with me right now, he said. Here comes the party popper, she commented. Jordan l really need you to hurry, he added. And why should l go with you, she asked. Cause it's Josh and he needs you, please come with me, he pleaded. I won't go, l already broke up with him, we have no relation whatsoever, she reminded him. I know that but he has been drinking and he is now lying in the hospital, his condition is critical, can you just put your hate aside and help him, he begged. You wish, Christian, l won't go to that hospital even if he was dying, she told him. How, when did you become this cold blooded, a surprised Christian asked. That made something snap in Ella making her lose her cool and standing up, look at who is calling someone cold blooded, the killer himself, you weren't cold blooded when you decided to ruin my life were you? Christian was speechless as he walked away leaving them alone. Calm down, Jordan coxed placing her hand on Ella's shoulders, she sat back and the continued with their game as if nothing happened.
