HIGH SCHOOL DIARIES (A Tale Of Love And Deception)

AUTHOR NOTE: I MADE SURE ALL THE CHAPTERS ARE PROPERLY EDITED SO I PROMISE ERRORS WOULD BE FEW THIS TIME AROUND PLEASE BEAR WITH ME

Ivory High has become eerily silent after the untimely death of Lucinda. The school went on break for one week, and during this time, Damian, Lamia, and Catherine were still not present. The matter has become pressing because the Alexandria family was now involved; not only was their daughter mysteriously killed, but their heir was now missing; it was a dangerous situation in which Ivory High attempted to keep a secret due to Alexandria's influence.

Meanwhile, Emily, who was still shaken by the incident, took solace in her room; she refused to come out of it, ignoring all her friend's pleas; she couldn't believe she couldn't help Lucinda; it was all her fault. tears began streaming down her cheeks continuously. This was her new life, crying continuously and blaming herself for Lucinda's demise. If only she had been with her, if only she had never abandoned her because of a pointless argument; now, as a result of her foolishness, her lovely friend was gone.

Lost in her thought, Emily had no idea that someone had been knocking on her door continuously but coming out of her fantasy, she realized someone was disturbing her peace; looking pissed off, she shouted.

" Go away. I am not interested, and I don't want to talk to anyone." But the knock persisted, and feeling infuriated, she angrily approached the door, and opening it, she came face to face with Slyvia, whose face softened, seeing Emily.

" What are you doing here looking for something? Ooh, the person whom you left weeks ago is now officially dead, and here you are coming to greet her corpse." Emily yelled; she was still crying. She just couldn't stop the tears that had gathered in her eyes.

" Slyvia, she needed us, Lucinda needed us, but we weren't there for her; you abandoned her for your newfound friends; now, where are there? They rejected you, didn't they? Now you are crawling back with what aim? Answer me, Slyvia, with what aim." This time around Emily broke down and fell flatly on the floor.

Slyvia went to her and hugged her firmly, also crying in her arms, " I am so sorry, I never meant for this to happen, if I had known I should have been there for her but I let my anger take hold of me and I left her in distress but it doesn't matter we can't continue like this we must live on find out what really happened and stick together as sisters. "

Emily scoffed, "So we are going to pretend everything is alright and try to move on but to me it's impossible, you know funny enough I have lived in Lucinda's shadows for several years being cast aside because I am not so pretty as her, I don't have pale skin as Lucinda and that godamned blue eyes kept on hunting me and my parents never fail to remind me that."

" Slyvia, I was seen as a project that needed to be fixed, and I loathed my parents for constantly tagging me as an empty vessel; tell me, Slyvia, what did I do so wrong to deserve this? After all this, I will never wish death on Lucinda. I cherished our friendship but...." Emily's mouth was closed by Slyvia, whose eyes never left her, and she began.

" Emily I know no amount of words will ever be able to express how sorry I am but this isn't the time to distrust one another, Ivory high is gradually transforming and with the high school kings and queens competition on the way stakes are high and to succeed we must make sure we trust one another we can't distrust one another and about your parents, we both had terrible parenthood in fact that was the main thing that brought us together with Lucinda but now you don't have to be alone, I am here now let me love you please."

Emily looked at Slyvia's face, which showed great emotions and concern, and she melted instantly like that; the two were enveloped in a passionate hug that made them both cry, but Emily stopped midway and held Slyvia's hands.

" Swear to me, Slyvia, that no matter what, we won't separate. Our friendship would stand the test of time, you won't betray me, and we will be each other keeper." Slyvia nodded in acceptance.

" I promise Emily our friendship will stand the test of time." And after the discussion, Sylvia then smiled.

" Time to eat, Emily. You looked starved." Emily instantly agreed to it. She was hungry, after all.

WEEKS LATER

It was one week in Ivory High, and studies had returned to normal; both Emily and Slyvia became extremely close, just like twins, and they did everything together, but this short happiness was about to crumble.

After Chemistry class, the class teacher left the class, and Alexa took the opportunity to grace the students' presence; she looked stunning, having applied bold makeup, which made her appearance formidable; her friends Dinah and Sophia accompanied her outside. Seeing them a girl commented in hush tunes.

" Isn't this nice? Is it strange that Alexa seems to be benefitting from this so much because it was obvious the winner was Lucinda, but now I can't help but wonder what if they murdered Alexa?" Emily's eyes widened; her thoughts never came to that, and a loud bang came up. It was Abigail, and her appearance also was breathtaking, putting Alexa to shame.

Emily was visibly confused, she didn't get what was happening and why they dressing so Slyvia calm voice sweetly, " That don't worry it's the competition, they are trying to get people's attention because normally the person with the huge fan base normally wins so they are using this as a strategy to get people's attention, in fact, students attention."

Emily now understood because Abigail came out and made her way to where Alexa was standing not giving a fuck about the glare she was receiving.

" I hope you are not coming out here because I have booked this specific place for my speech so back of bitch." There was silence in the class, and just then, Hadrian came in with Jayden, making the drama halt.

Slyvia was engrossed in her phone trying to check out her favorite books in a web novel by her favorite writer ash night 17 but sensing someone's burning gaze she looked and lo and behold it was Emily she was staring intimately at Hadrian smitten, Slyvia became alarmed,

" What do you think you are doing? Whatever you may be feeling, get rid of it because it's impossible at this moment." Emily, who was startled, lowered her gaze in embarrassment, but she wasn't keen on ending her growing feelings for Hadrian.

" Slyvia, what do you mean by that? I think I have fallen in love, and you are meant to wish me luck, not say such things." Slyvia shook her head and replied.

" Emily, don't you know who Alexa is following? This path might end up badly." Emily was beginning to get annoyed and she retorted.

" For Christ's sake, Hadrian is a human. He has feelings, not one type of toy you can have and dump at any time." Emily was talking and didn't notice the stare people were giving her. unfortunately, she spoke too loudly, and everyone present heard her; both Alexa, whose jealousy was burning like a flame, and Hadrain, who wore a mixture of shock and surprise.

Realizing what she had done Emily sighed,

" Oops, I am in trouble." Not only with Alexa but Hadrian, who wasn't pleased with her statement.
