Episode 6&7
I watched him as he entered. "Tania,I brought you guys some refreshment"he said placing it on the stool. He took the cups from the tray and handed one to me and the other one to stephen. "Thanks, I was about going home"she said as she took the cup from him. "Are you going already? It's too..."I gave him this dirty look and he kept quiet. "Don't forget she's here to teach me and not to live with us"I said looking at him. He looked at me and squeezed his face in anger"don't interfere when elders are speaking ok"he said pointing his finger at me. "Elders my foot"I thought to myself looking at him. Stephen drank from the cup and placed it back on the tray"I think I should get going, it's late"Stephen said picking up her bag. "Let me drop you"my brother said smiling. "Don't worry, I can take a taxi"she said. "Let me take you, am also heading out now"he insisted. I looked at him and shook my head in pity. I know there's something to it, for my brother to take her in his car. He has something on his sleeve "Ok thanks"Stephen said smiling. My brother looked at me and they both headed out.

Two months later.....
I stood in front of my full length mirror admiring my shape. I lost so much weight within two month of training. Now, am in perfect shape. No one can believe this is the tanny cow of then. Although,it was very hard for me to loose weight, I even thought of giving up but when I think about what dave did to me in school and how the students abuse me, I put in more effort and carry on with it. At last I got my dream shape and weight. Now am beautiful and my body is in it's perfect condition. I smiled to myself looking at the mirror. Then, I heard a knock on my door. Sonia opened it and came to me"are you not ready yet?"sonia asked looking at me. "Am ready, let's go"I said picking up my hand bag from the bed. We both headed out, I was in the front while sonia followed behind me. When I got down to the living room, I saw my brother and Stephen kissing on the couch. I quickly turned to sonia and think of something to distract her from seeing it. "Hey something dropped from you"I said pointing behind her. "Oh what's that?"she asked going back to search for it.
I then quickly flashed my brother's phone to stop them from that act. I can hear his phone ringing and I quickly hang up the call expecting them to have stopped by now. "I can't find anything"sonia said coming back to me. "I thought something dropped from you"I said to her smiling. "Let's go already"she said and went ahead of me. I turned back and looked at Stephen direction but they stopped already and were both watching tv. I took a deep breath of relieve. I went after sonia and when I got to them, I looked at my brother"am heading out with sonia, I will be back in an hour or less than that"I said looking at them. "Ok" he said not paying much attention to me. "Hy, Tania"Stephen greeted smiling. "Hy"I said smiling back at her. "Bye"I said and went out with sonia.
When we got outside, I headed towards my car. "What is she together with your brother? Is she his girlfriend?"sonia asked as she opened the car door. "They're just friends"I said looking at her as I started the engine. "Ok, better"sonia said. I looked at her and shook my head.
I knew my brother and Stephen were more than friends because, the way they both act towards each other, and from Stephen attitude the way she asked me about my brother, it looks like she's interested in him and my brother also like her because he also talked about her a lot. But I don't know when they became so close to the point of kissing each other. I can't tell sonia the truth because it will hurt her. It's obvious she love Stephen but he doesn't like her, or know about her feelings towards him. Just like Daniel and I, I love him but, he wasn't aware of it or love me like I do. I know how it will feel for me to see him with another girl. "So, when are you coming back to school?"she asked smiling. "I talked to my mum about it, and she said she has made all the necessary arrangements for me to resume. I will start next week Monday"I said smiling. "Good, school is boring to me without you. I can't wait for you to resume"she said smiling happily. I smiled at her concentrating on driving. "What do you plan to do when you resume?"Sonny asked. "Hmmmm, I have a lot to do. Firstly, You know am not that good in studying back then, I always took the 28th in class out of 30. But now, thanks to Stephen I don't have any trouble with studying anymore. I will study really heard and do well in exam.
Secondly, I have to revenge in dave for what he did to me. I will act like a new student, nobody can believe am the old tanny cow in school except I tell them or you tell them about me, with that I can revenge on him"I said. "Do you think the revenge will be possible?"sonia Asked. "I will make sure its possible. I will tell you about the plan later."I said smiling. "what will you do about Daniel?"she asked. "I don't know for now because I can't just understand why he left without saying anything that day. That makes it more hurtful for me"
When we got to the salon, I packed my car at the packing garage and we both went inside. I had a new hair cut, I made my black long straight hair Into long dark brown curly full fringe. After the haircut, I looked up myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction.
Sonia and I left the salon and headed to a store to do some shopping.

On Monday morning.....
I dressed myself up for school and my dad dropped me on his way to work. I got to school and went to the principal office to complete my resume forms. As I walked to the office, I remembered when I first came to this school. That day it was Daniel I first saw. the day I saw him, I fell in love at first sight. I asked him the way to the principal office and he directed me there. But when I was taken to my class, I found out he was in my class and the class president also. I fell more in love with him everyday but he never talked to me or looked at me for once, except the day he helped me from dave.
When I finished filling the forms, the English teacher came to the office to take me to my class. When he got to me, he looked at me closely"have we met before?"he asked looking at me. I shook my head negatively. "Ok, follow me"he said heading out.
I followed him and we walked towards the class. I looked at everywhere and it hasn't changed a bit. When we got to my class, we both stood in front of the classroom. They all greeted the teacher and sat down after he responded. Everyone's attention was on me, some were gossiping, while some guys were smiling at me. "Silent!"the English teacher screamed hitting his book on the table before us. And Everywhere was silent again"Here, we have a new student, her name is...."
"My name is Tania, good to see you all"I cuts in to stop him from mentioning my surname. I looked straight at Dave's direction and I can see him staring at me seriously with his mouth flung opened. I looked at Daniel but the expression on his face was not clear, He stared off when our gaze met. I looked back at dave and smiled. "Now, the game has just begun"I thought to myself smiling.
