Chapter 6 : Elsa Is Here

Sergio arrived the school's garden, Isabella opened the car door and stepped out, she closed the door and Sergio drove away without even saying a word to her, it was so dark Isabella was a bit frightened so she decided to walk quickly to Aisha's place.

When she arrived Aisha's place she knocked on the door Aisha woke up she looked at the time it was some few minutes after twelve Aisha said "who is that knocking" Isabella replied "its me Isabella" Aisha immediately went to open the door, Isabella walked in, Aisha was surprised to see Isabella in damp clothes so she asked "why is my red dress damp Isabella what happened" Isabella did not answer her instead she proceeded to the room.

Aisha followed her and said "talk this girl what happened" a shivering Isabella took of the damp dress and her worn out sandals then she put on her night wear and she gently lay on the bed, Aisha said "are you okay Isabella" she still did not answer, Aisha decided not to bother her any further.

Chidi came out to the balcony of his condo with a glass of juice in his hand, he thought about the ordeal that happened at his pool party, what if that girl had drowned, suddenly there was a ding at the door, he went to open the door to his surprise he saw Elsa standing right in front of him.

Chapter 8 : No More Friends

It was a harsh male voice probably Belinda's boyfriend Mark, Mark was not a nice person he was very rude and mean to people he did not care about he spoke "yes what do you want Belinda is busy right now" Adaora could hear a light giggle in the background saying "Mark stop just tell her am not here".

Adaora was so angry she hung up the phone, even her best friend so she thought was no longer her friend, every one had deserted her especially now when she needed them, she decided to go home, what a day she was having.

When she got home, her driver opened the door as usual, her driver said "goodnight ma" Adaora did not reply, it was past 12pm, she tried to open the door but it was locked, she knocked a few times no one answered, she rung the telecom a few times still no answer. 

she then called her mother, her mother answered "yes" Adaora spoke back "the door is locked can someone come" before she could complete her sentence her mother said "kindly go back to were you are coming from" Adaora could not believe this, her mother actually meant every word she said earlier.

Adaora decided to spend the night in the pool house she proceeded to the pool house, she was not glad at all, she felt like she was being treated like an outcast, she thought to herself, maybe if she slept and woke up the next morning all this would have being a horrible nightmare.

Chapter 5 : Not Here

Chidi was able to lift her, he then placed her on the pool side and proceeded to resuscitate her, he was able to get all the water out of her lungs, Isabella coughed and coughed, everyone at the pool party clapped in mockery one of them said "wow that's my hero Chidi" and laughed, Chidi went to the m.c grabbed the microphone and said "the party is over everyone leave here now security do your job".

All the security men came running into the house were the pool party was being held and they politely sent everyone out of the premises one of the guests whispered to each other "because of that stupid girl in red i hate her" they all eventually left, meanwhile when Sergio came out of the house every one was gone he was surprised, he saw Isabella wet on a pool chair, he went to meet her.

Sergio asked a very tired and wet Isabella what happened Isabella could not talk instead she said "i want to go home oh chei what is this" she sneezed to remove water from her nose, Sergio dropped the glass and decided to take her home, when they got into the car Isabella started crying, Sergio did not comfort her, instead he started the engine.

Chapter 7 : Invitation

When she arrived at the party venue, she was a bit shocked at the amount of people, she mumbled underneath her breath once again "socialites" she then went towards the entrance, she was suddenly stopped by the security bouncers "invite please" said one of the security bouncer's, Adaora was surprised no one had ever asked her for an invite to enter a party, surely they knew who she was.

Adaora had left her invite on the vanity table in her bedroom, and it clearly stated "bring this invite with you" Adaora did not care she demanded to enter and the security bouncer said "no invite no entry" Adaora fumed inside of her she said "do you know who i am how dare you" the security bouncer most definitely shoved her aside.

While all this was going on, Mariam one of Adaora's sworn enemies walked past her and said "wow  Adaora is having the opposite of a good day" and bust into a loud laughter with her friends, Adaora was so ashamed, what was she going to do, things like this should not be happening to her.

Adaora walked quietly to her car the driver opened the back seat door and Adaora said "did i ask you to open the door" her driver was confused but still apologised "am sorry ma" she thought to herself maybe i should call Belinda, she quickly brought out her phone and dialed Belinda's number it rang and someone else picked up.

Chapter 4 : I Can't Swim

Isabella waited in the school's garden for Sergio, she waited for atleast an hour before Sergio arrived in his Mercedes G-wagon she was so excited, she opened the door and got in the car, she shivered on the drive to the pool party, Sergio said "are you cold i can turn down the a.c", Isabella immediately said "no no i am okay" while shivering, when they arrived the destination, Isabella got out of the car, she was so surprised she had never seen so many rich faces in one place before.

As they both proceeded to enter the party, they all looked at Isabella and laughed, one of the rich girl's in attendance said "who is this one and what is she wearing" Isabella had never felt so humiliated in her life she decided to keep calm, Sergio brought her a drink in an expensive glass, Isabella did not know how to hold the glass, so it fell of her hand.

Sergio laughed and said "i would get you another glass don't worry" Sergio went to get another drink for Isabella, Isabella was standing so close to the pool when someone slightly nodged her on purpose, Isabella fell into the deep end of the pool, she screamed "i can't swim help, i can't swim" she was practically drowning and the guests at the pool party did nothing they were all laughing. Then Chidi dived into pool and rescued her.

Chapter 6 : I Love You

Adaora was hesitant, her mother could not cut her of completely, and she was still bent on attending the party that evening, she would wear one of her other dresses, she thought to herself, what would her peers say at the party.

She immediately brushed that thought aside, when she got home she refused to speak to her mother, her mother did not care, it was in her best interest if she kept quiet about the incident that had happened earlier, maybe her mother would come to her senses and realize she was still her daughter.

She walked into her walk in closet, it looked like a shopping mall itself, she went through her clothes that were colour co-ordinated by the maids at the mansion, she then made a choice, it was a last season's dolce and gabbana dress, it still had the price tag on it.

She then picked a pair of dior slip-ons, it was a dress to impress party hosted by the socialites, but Adaora was not in any mood, so she opted for the comfortable look, when she was done getting ready, she quickly ran a brush through her hair and called her driver.

She was about to press the button on the elevator in the mansion for it to open, her mother sighted her, "young lady were are you going too" Adaora totally ignored her mother who had asked her a question, her mother spoke again "you better be back before 12pm or else you would be locked out" Adaora quickly entered the elevator, got to the grand foyer arranged her hair one more time while taking a look at the mirror and proceeded to the car.

Chapter 3 : Pool Party

Sergio was waiting for Isabella's reply she then said while touching her hair "i mean you did not ask me my name" Femi looked at her with disdain and said "who needs your stupid name just answer the damn question or leave her" they all laughed again almost falling to the ground, Isabella did not know how to swim and she did not have anything to wear she then said "okay i would attend the party". 

Sergio looked at her again and said "great were do i pick up from" Isabella was ashamed of Aisha's place so she said "pick me up here" Sergio laughed again with his friends, Femi then said "you leave in the school garden please leave this girl she's too bush abeg" they all laughed once again then Sergio said "okay i would pick you up here" with that they left.

Isabella was so happy she ignored the fact that Sergio and his friends had undermined her, what am i going to wear she thought to herself, she only had worn out clothes, she decided to borrow Aisha's favourite red dress, she begged and asked Aisha for the red dress Aisha eventually gave it to her. Isabella wore the red dress she looked a bit put together, she put her hair up in bun and wore her worn out sandals she then headed towards the school's garden to wait for Sergio.
