"Since when did you become very caring towards her? Someone might mistake you for her biological mother if you keep this up…,"
"Shut up already Laura. Don't try to act up just because Mother is around," Adhara scolded. Her grip around Laura's hand tightened.
"Send a text message to Joanna to inform her about the current situation at home," Adhara instructed, her eyes still centred on the direction of her mother's room.
"Ok, but don't you think you need to let go for me to do that, Mum?" Laura said, her gaze concentrated on her mother's hand still holding her tightly.
Adhara released her hand.
[And why should I inform her about Granny's instructions when this is my best opportunity to get back at her for everything? I will let Grandma teach her a serious lesson]
Laura grinned. She pretended to be texting someone since her mother's attention was on her.
As she stood there Adhara didn't know that her daughter was deceiving her right under her nose.
"I have classes so I will leave now," Laura informed her. She bent and picked up her handbag laid on the centre table.
She exited the house afterwards.
Meanwhile, at the bar, Joanna and Kayden left the club an hour before the designated time for the lecture.
He didn't forget to go in his usual disguise.
In front of the campus Amos parked his car and decided to take a walk into the campus.
As they made their way into campus Joanna and Amos walked hand in hand. They became the centre of attention because of their public display of affection.
Despite being in the limelight, they were not affected. They laughed, talked and played like they were not watched by many eyes.
Amos and Joanna took a break underneath a shed after they had walked for a few minutes.
A lady standing on the stairs leading to the basketball halted when she saw them from afar.
[After the picture I sent to her I was expecting to see her weep at a corner after breaking up with him so why does it look like they have gotten closer instead? What the heck happened?]
Laura glared at the smiling faces who were oblivious to her presence.
"This plan of mine might have failed but I promise you that you won't escape when you get home," Laura mumbled, grinning.
She turned around and was about to ascend the stairs when she saw four ladies standing in front of her.
"You always escape anytime you see us so how about you try escaping again? Let's see whether you will succeed this time around," Sophie said and climbed a step down so that the gap between her and Laura was slim.
"And why would I be running away from you guys when I haven't done anything wrong?" Laura snapped with her head held high.
As she stood there Laura stylishly looked around to check whether her friends were close by.
Unfortunately for her, none was there to come to her rescue. Even at this, she decided not to make them discover that she was scared.
"Don't you ladies think you are overestimating yourself…,"
"We will see about that in a few minutes," Nora added.
Tiffany always loved this type of situation because she got to show her authority but for the first time Tiffany didn't say a word.
She kept looking into space like she has been doing ever since her punishment was uplifted.
When she saw that Tiffany was not her real self Sophie decided to momentarily take charge.
"If you know what is good for you then you will quietly follow us…,"
"And why the hell should I do that?" Laura retorted.
"You will do like we said except you want to experience what it means to be humiliated in front of a crowd just like we often do to your stupid step sister…,"
"Private fight is against the school rules so you can't do anything to me," Laura stood her ground.
Sophie grinned and bent so that her face was some inches away from meeting Laura's face.
"Our campus is without a Chancellor," Sophie announced. A devilish smile crept onto her face when she saw Laura's confidence falter.
"Don't tell me you have forgotten that so soon," She whispered.
Laura had no choice but to do like the girls said when she realised that she was surrounded.
For years she has witnessed the girl's brutality and didn't want to fall victim to their cruelty.
The Mean Witches took Laura to the secluded part of the campus. Hardly anyone passes by the area they took her to.
And because it was far away from the main campus they would have accomplished their mission before anyone came to her rescue.
"You dared to hurt our idol and think you can go scot-free by avoiding us. Now you are caught, what can you do?" Doris questioned.
Sophie walked two steps forward so that the gap between her and Laura wasn't huge.
"The price for hurting the man we have set our eyes on is huge. I wonder whether you will be able to pay it…,"
"Those present when the event took place can testify that my target was Joanna. I was planning to forever disfigure her face. It was his fault for jumping in…,"
BAM!
A tight slap landed on Laura's face forcing her to shut up. She held her burning cheeks and tilted her head to glare at the one who slapped her.
"You slapped me?" Laura asked. Her eyes and claws transformed in an instant.
"How dare you act pridefully after injuring his priceless body?" Sophie challenged, unmoved by Laura's transformation.
She was outnumbered so what can Laura do to her?
"It was your fault for failing to control your stupid hands so how dare you try to blame Ray?" She demanded.
She raised her hand to slap Laura again but Laura grabbed her hand in the middle of the air.
"If you think that I am Joanna you trampled under feet whenever you want, then let me tell you that you have gotten the wrong person," Laura retorted and flung Sophie's hand away.
"I won't let you guys walk over me for something that wasn't my fault," She stated, unfazed by the girl's sneaky movement.
"We will see about that," Sophie stated. She secretly signalled Nora and Doris to get a hold of Laura.
