The Loverboys
(The vote)
Episode 37
By: Faith Lucky.
Kimberly’s Pov:
I smoked angrily in my room – with EvaEva
and Joyce watching.
I hate everything! I hate Jeanne!
Because of her, I was insulted. She made
Alex make a fool out of me.
“I seriously can’t believe Alex stood up for
that lady” Eva said and it increased my
anger.
“Normally, Alex would had just walked away.
But surprisingly, he forced you to apologise
to her in public and that’s weird.”
“You can’t imagine what those lame
students are saying about it. Some even
went ahead to call her his crush and all that.
This is so unbelievable” Joyce said.
“And I can’t believe she wants to become
one of us. I mean, what’s gonna happen if
she becomes a lovergirl?”
“Not even in death!” I said angrily and
turned to look at them.
“Over my dead body will I allow that animal
become a lovergirl. The voting is taking
place tomorrow and I’m gonna make sure I
frustrate her.
“She’s messed with the wrong person and
I’m gonna put her in her place.”
Jeanne’s Pov:
I woke up the next morning feeling so
energetic and happy. It was a glorious day.
I smiled when I recalled everything that had
happened between Alex and I the previous
night.
Gosh! I can’t believe i was able to fall asleep.
I took my bath and dressed up and went
ahead to attend to Molly.
I stopped and looked at Alex’s room,
wishing I could see him, but it was locked.
I shrugged and went into Molly’s room.
After bathing and dressing her up, we went
down for breakfast and that was when I got
to know the loverboys were not at home.
They had left early that morning for an
appointment.
Oh-oh.
Too bad. I was hoping I’d see Alex.
After breakfast with just Mrs Tristan, we left
for school.
☆☆☆
Believe me when I say this, but my name
was ringing on the lips of everyone in
school.
They all kept throwing glances at me and I
could clearly overhear their conversation
about me when I walk pass them.
yes, she’s the one…
Alex made Kim apologise to her…
I heard she works in the mansion…
Could there be any intimacy between
them?
I listened in amusement and couldn’t believe
my ears.
Gosh! So many rumours
I just hope I don’t get into more trouble
with Kim.
After lectures, I went ahead for my training
and today’s section was really tedius
because it was the last day of training and
tomorrow would be the voting.
We all sang and danced one after the other
and miss Beatrice commended us for it.
“Remember, don’t eat heavy food before
coming tomorrow” she said in conclusion.
“when performing, clear your minds from
every other thoughts. The only thing that
should be important to you is the task
ahead.
“Sing from the deepest part of your heart
and dance for fun. Be confident. And I wish
you goodluck” she rounded up with a smile
and we appreciated her.
Then, she left afterwards.
Megan came to me and suggested we had
snacks as usual . and I agreed.
I wonder if tomorrow’s event would affect
our friendship.
But I hope it doesn’t.
“Tell me, Jeanne; what’s the secret? Your
dance steps have really improved” she said
as we sat facing each other in the canteen
and I smiled.
“it’s just determination, Megan” I replied and
she nodded.
“Well, I’m happy for you. I wonder what’s
gonna happen tomorrow. Will the lover girls
even make a pick?” She said and shrugged.
It was obvious she was also curious and
nervous.
When we were done eating, she left, telling
me she had an appointment with a friend.
I walked back to our training hall which had
become empty and I climbed the stage.
I walked over to the speakers and turned on
the music.
I needed to practice more.
I started dancing and felt so good.
Even if nobody told me, I could tell I was
doing great.
I danced for a long time but stopped when I
noticed someone standing by the door.
It was a lovergirl!
I rushed and turned off the music.
It was lovergirl Hetty; one of my favourites.
And she doesn’t move around with Kim and
the rest.
She was putting on a short and crop top
and looked so classic. What’s she doing
here?
“G…good day, ma’am” I greeted nervously.
“Hi” she replied simply and walked in.
“You’re one of the trainees, huh?” She asked
and I nodded lightly.
“I love your moves. They’re wonderful. Keep
it up” she said and my eyes beamed.
Did she really compliment me?
“Thanks, ma’am” I replied ecstatically and
she smiled.
“But…they’re some tiny errors you still made”
she said and looked at her wrist watch.
“Got some time to spare?” She asked and I
nodded.
Of course.
She walked to the speakers and turned on
the music again and stood on the stage
with me.
Then, she started dancing and giving me
some hints and I entered into another
training section with her.
It was incredible.
When I got home later in the evening, I
helped Molly shower and eat.
Then, we sat at the dining I helped her out
with her homework.
While we were doing it, the loverboys
returned and sat in the sitting room.
Hah!
I saw Alex.
I smiled as I watched them – him – sit
frazzledly, throwing their phones beside
them. They looked really tired.
Carl, Malcolm and Daniel were putting on the
loverboys polo, while Alex was putting on an
all-white appearance and it was so beautiful.
“Gosh! That guy’s a complete mess” Daniel
said blearily and Carl chuckled.
“I can’t believe he could be that stupid.”
“I don’t know why he just can’t accept the
fact he’s a looser” Malcolm added and I
wondered whom they were talking about.
They must’ve had a busy day.
Evans came in not long after with a tray of
food and kept it in front of Daniel.
“I’m so tired I can’t even eat” He said as he
opened the covered food and took out a
meat.
Well, obviously they were tired. They didn’t
even acknowledge my presence or Molly’s.
Evans left and returned with another tray
and kept it in front of Carl and the next one
he brought was for Malcolm.
“Don’t worry about mine” Alex said before
he left.
“I’ll let you know when I’m ready. But for
now,”
He paused and stood up.
“Tell your assistance to make me a cup of
coffee” he added and took the stairs.
What?
I looked at Evans and he starred back at me
and shrugged.
Woah!
Alex really wants me to make him a cup of
coffee again?
Evans left the sitting room, headed for the
kitchen and I stood up and followed him.
“you didn’t tell me you’ve gotten an
assistance, Evans” I said jokingly as I entered
the kitchen.
“Of course, I didn’t. Alex did” he replied and
I scoffed.
“It’s pretty amusing he didn’t get mad at
you for what you did, you know?” He said as
I prepared the coffee.
“Well…let’s just say it’s a miracle” I replied
and he shrugged.
When I was done with the coffee, I put it in
a small plate and took it to his room.
I took in a deep breath before knocking on
the door and his cold, yet sweet voice
replied from inside:
“Come in”.
I breathed out and opened the door, going
in with the coffee.
He was sitting on the bed with his laptop in
front of him.
“Good evening, sir” I greeted with a bow as
I walked in and he collected the coffee from
me.
“Hi” he said simply and sipped from it.
With the look in his eyes, it was obvious he
liked it – as usual.
I gulped down nothing and turned around
to leave.
“Your training’s ending tomorrow, right?”
He asked and I turned back to him.
“Yes sir” I replied with a nod.
“Good luck” he said and I smiled and bowed.
I felt like asking him if he would be present
for the vote, but I felt scared to.
I really wished he’d come.
He turned back to his system and I finally left
the room.
I woke up the next morning, feeling really
really nervous.
Today was the D-day; the day I became a
lovergirl or not.
I had decided not to go to school. So, I just
prepared Molly and dropped her off at
school.
The loverboys were at home, but by the time
I returned, they had left already.
I stayed indoors and did more rehearsals.
I would be singing a song by the loverboys –
Love me again – which I had already
discussed with the instrumentalists.
I ate just pasta and when it was time, I
dressed up and went to the studio.
I walked into my training hall and
discovered I was actually the last person to
arrive as the rest of the trainees were
already there.
They were all looking exquisite and Megan
waved at me immediately she saw me.
“Hey” she called and came to meet me.
“You’re looking good” she complimented
and I smiled.
Really? I’m just putting on a white flay gown
and flat shoes.
“You’re nervous, huh?” She asked and I
shrugged.
“i guess we all are” I replied and she
chuckled.
Tasha rolled her eyes at me when I looked at
her and I scoffed.
Like I care.
Shortly, miss Beatrice came with three other
people and spoke to us in a whispering like
tone:
“The lovergirls are here!” She said as if it
was a secret and my heart skipped.
They’re here!
Oh, God!
This is so happening.
We all fixed our gaze at the door as we
awaited their entrance and immediately,
they came in.
Wow!
They were all looking stunningly beautiful
with Kim in their middle. And they were just
five of them.
But, where are the rest?
“Welcome, lovelies. Please have a seat” miss
Beatrice said warmly to them and ushered
them to seats which were facing the stage.
The people miss Beatrice had come with,
who were dressed in suits, also took their
seats.
I looked at Kim as she sat; facing us. She
was putting on specs and made her look so
hot.
I wonder what’s gonna happen now.
I was so scared.
Immediately, three other girls walked in. It
was the rest of the lovergirls! Including
Hetty who had danced with me yesterday.
Wow! It seems they don’t like moving with
Kim and the rest. Could there be having
issues?
“Welcome ladies. Please have a seat” miss
Beatrice said and also ushered them to a
seat which faced the stage.
I noticed one of the girls with Kim turned
and glared at one of them.
Then, Miss Beatrice climbed the stage and
took up the mic.
“So, let’s begin”. she said and my heart
began thumping fast.
I suddenly looked at the entrance. There
was no sign of the loverboys.
Oh, God!
Could it mean they won’t be coming?
Although, miss Beatrice had made it known
they rarely do come, but I was hoping they
would this time around.
My anxiety suddenly increased. I was so
scared.
Will Kim allow me to pass this training?
Miss Beatrice once again, told us what we
need to do and Tessa was the first to go.
She sang a song by the lovergirls which was
written by Kim and she danced it so
perfectly.
Gosh!
This girl was really a diva. Look at the way
she twists her waist.
Indeed; she was a dancer. But her singing
skills wasn’t as good as her dancing skills.
Next, it was Megan’s turn and she sang a
song by Mira – her role model.
She was also a crazy dancer. But if you ask
me, I’d say Tessa still beat her to it.
After her was Roxanne and she sang a song
by the loverboys which was written by Alex.
She also sang and danced to her best and
after her, I was next.
Oh, God!
I took in a deep breath as I slowly walked to
the stage. Gosh!
I’ve never been this nervous in my entire life.
My hands were shaking.
I cleared my throat as I stood in front of the
mic stand and my eyes ran into Kim’s.
She made an evil grin at me when we made
the eye contact and I quickly took my eyes
away.
Oh, God!
Help me.
Okay.
Then, I introduced myself and my song and
began singing. And even if I was too
nervous, I could tell I was doing perfectly
good.
I sang and tried dancing as best as I could
and caught Hetty smiling at me.
When I was done, I bowed before leaving
the stage and miss Beatrice came up.
My hands were all sweaty.
Oh, God!
I really hope I performed well.
“Bravo, girls” miss Beatrice said.
“Bravo. You all were adorable; trust me. You
did excellent.
“So, now it’s time to hand the moment over
to the lovergirls to cast their votes…”
“They’ll be no vote” Kim suddenly said and
everyone flinched and looked at her.
“M…ma’am?” Miss Beatrice called, confused.
“I’ve decided to make use of a different
method this section. And by so doing, I’ll be
the only one who gets to chose” she said
and some of us gasped.
What?
“Kim, what’re you talking about?” Hetty
asked with a scoff and Kim rolled her eyes
and stood up.
“Like I said, I’ll be making the choice. So, as it
stands, I’m chosing you, Tessa Patrick, as the
new lovergirl” she said and Tessa screamed
and ran out.
Oh, my God! This is not happening.
What?
Hetty stood up immediately.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Kim?
This isn’t how it’s done. There need to be a
vote” she said angrily.
“Shut the fuck up, Hetty. I’m the leader and I
get to make and change the rules. Now, if
you’re not happy with it, you can go to hell”
Kim replied derogatorily and Hetty’s eyes
glinted with anger.
“You must be insane, Kim. This is not going
to happen…”
“Oh, really?” Kim cut her off and laughed.
“Do you really think you can stand me for a
second? Seriously, bae; I’d love to see you
try”.
Hetty fisted her hand and one of the girls
with her held her by the shoulders.
It was obvious there was nothing they could
do about.
But why does Kim have to act this way?
Could it be because of me?
My heart got turn apart.
I felt hot tears form up in my eyes, about to
pour out.
I knew this was going to happen.
My whole dreams were shattered. They had
all gone to waste. Why does such misfortune
have to be fall me?
I looked at Kim and she was smirking at me.
She’s finally gotten what she wanted –
destroying my dreams.
Oh
, God!
What do I do now?
“And who’re you to change the rules?” I
suddenly heard a familiar voice say from
behind and noticed the lovergirls gasped in
surprise.
Wait, I know that voice.
Of course I do!
I quickly turned around with the rest of the
trainees and there I found the loverboys,
standing by the doorway with Alex in their
middle.
Whaaaat?
The loverboys!
They’re here!
They came!
Oh, my G
