Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE’S POV…

We arrived at school, and I noticed that everyone was staring. Davis had left me as soon as we got out of the car and gone with his pals.

As I walked down the hallway to class, I could hear muttering about the birthday party.

“I knew this would happen.” Muttering to myself I walked down determined not to let the talks bother me. I had known for sure it was going to be the talk of the entire school, because some of my mates were still around the house when the issues happened and with Davis involved in it, it was only a matter of time since his mouth ran like it had diahorrea.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I tried to calm down, not letting my emotions get the better part of me as I headed to class.

“Mummy had done all of this for me, and I was not going to be ungrateful.” I mumbled reassuring myself that what mum did and all that happened was for the best. Besides, we now had Uncle Karl and lived in a larger house with all of the amenities and we were not going to struggle anymore for the things we needed.

All thanks to mum for accepting Uncle Karl’s offer. I wasn’t sure if mummy loved him but I hope she did, because that would make everything perfect.

” We deserve the better life we have now.” I mumbled to myself as I walked through the corridors headed to class. I thought about Davis and thought of living with him for the rest of my life, I wasn’t sure it was something I wanted to do but mummy had asked that I forgave him and I was going to do just that.

” What is this everyone is talking about?” Xavier approached me as I arrived. He had met me down the hallway and asked me about the rumors and I motioned for us to talk by the side.

“Everyone is saying you are now leaving off Davis father. Is that true? Do you even know him? is it really his house we had the party?” He asked me all at once with the look of concern in his face as he seemed worried about me. I sighed heavily and decided to tell him what had happened.

“Hey Xavier,” I said, pulling him aside into a quiet corner of the corridor. “It’s nothing. It just about the birthday party my mom organized for me. I guess there were some issues with Davis yesterday, and now everyone seems to be talking about it.” I responded and as we were talking Davis walked passed us with his friends and they all laughed at me mockingly.

Xavier looked concerned. “What happened?” he asked me as he motioned for us to walk along to class so we would not be late.

I sighed and briefly explained what had transpired at the party. The rumors had spread like wildfire, but I assured him that I wasn’t going to let it bother me not after all my mom had gone through planning the special day for me.

” Besides we are not leaving off Uncle Karl, he asked to marry my mum and she agreed. They are engaged.” I added and Xavier looked at me delighted.

” Are you sure about that?” He asked me glaring in disbelief and I nodded in affirmation.

” You are so lucky and congratulations to your mum.” He added, “Thank you so much.” I responded and told him that was the reason I wasn’t going to let the rumors bother me.

Xavier held me by the shoulder and told me not to worry about anything. The way he spoke made me feel better. I was happy I had a friend like him.

“I appreciate your support, Xavier,” I responded gratefully. “But right now, let’s focus on our classes and not pay attention to the gossip.”

He nodded in agreement before we both headed off to our respective classrooms with determination in our eyes.

As the day went on, the whispers and stares continued. It felt like everyone in school knew about what happened at my birthday party. But I refused to let it get to me. My mom had put so much effort into making it special, and I didn’t want her hard work to be overshadowed by rumors.

During lunch break, Xavier approached me again. He had a determined look on his face as he said, “Listen, I’ve been thinking about what you said earlier. We can’t let these gossipmongers ruin your day or your mom’s efforts. Let’s show them that we’re stronger than their words. What do you think?” He asked me still staring at me

“I guess so.” I responded appreciatively at Xavier’s support and nodded in agreement.

” But how do we do that?” I asked him as I didn’t have any ideas how we were supposed to make all the news go away.

” We just have to find another gossip and everyone will forget about yours.” He said and I look at him suspiciously. “what did he even mean by that and how were we supposed to get someone else’s secret.”

“You could get Davis secrets so we tell everyone. Besides you both together now and it is sure going to be easy.” He said to me and I gazed at him wondering where he got his ideas from. ” I am sure not going to do anything to hurt Davis, mummy asked that I forgave him and I already did that so just leave it alone.”

” Well your choice!!! He said and left to his seat. I thought about all that had happened and wondered if it was a good idea. I soon decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I punished Davis for ruining my party and walked back to Xavier telling him I was going to do it and I had the perfect rumor to hurt Davis.

“Come closer.”I mouthed to Xavier and I whispered to his ears telling him all I planned.
