Thomas, come clean up the room quickly yelled his mom. He
sighs and drags his feet leaving behind Elsie his younger sister. The door
bangs and Mr. Adams comes in with his workload on his head. Who is there? Hun,
it’s me. Okay dear. She goes back to her chores with a concentrated mind.
Thomas came in with a plate of half-drunk iced water which he had served with
his thirsty father. Mom! Mom! Mom! Screamed Elsie on top of her voice. Mrs.
Adams left the kitchen leaving the glass plate in the sink with a splash.
Mrs. Adams only rushed to the scene only to realize that Elsie
was playing a prank in order to get attention from her mom which she explained
no one paid attention to her when she needed them.
Mrs. Adams being as loving as she was, gave her 9year old
daughter a piggyback and sent her to the room and tucked her to bed. She
silently left the room gently in order not to wake young Elsie up. She
continued with her chores and served the family dinner.
Some years later…………
Thomas kindly wait for me and let’s go together shouted
Chantelle the girl whom every guy wanted to date on campus. Chantelle’s beauty
was nothing to write home about but due to the standard she set for herself
most guys admired her and always refer to other ladies that Beauty isn’t always
about looks but you knowing your limits to things and true beauty is also from
how well you respond to your situations. Chantelle, aside lacking beauty, she
was one of the best students on campus. Proposals of every kind was at her feet
but she bounced all of them because a gem had caught her attention.
Thomas was in a haste to get to his hostel since he’s had a
long day at lectures and his chemistry quiz didn’t go as expected. He sighed
under his nostrils and beckoned Chantelle to hurry with the excuse that the sun
was scorchy. She immediately crossed the road leading to the market and joined
Thomas at the other side of the road.
Though Thomas was stressed up he tried to strike up a
conversation with her. To his utmost surprise, Chantelle responded there was
much time to get to know each other. He gave up and told Chantelle see you
tomorrow in chemistry class.
Chantelle was head over heels in love with Thomas that she
loses her aura whenever he passes by. Chantelle’s friends did not understand
why their friend was so madly in love with Thomas, the guy who dressed like a
rascal to class. Chantelle continued to lose herself until she couldn’t hold
herself any longer. She asked William, Thomas close friend where Thomas’s
hostel was. At first, William obliged but due to the respect all the guys had
for her including William), William let it slide by and gave her the direction
leading to Thomas’s hostel.
She got to the hostel and removed her clothes as she
patiently slept on Thomas’s bed. Thomas entered the room fully drunk and saw
Chantelle passionately sleeping on his bed. He joined her on the bed with the
intention of going to sleep, as soon as his head touched the bed Chantelle
jumped on him and aroused him leading Thomas to do the unexpected. He was still
not of himself when Chantelle left the Hostel around dawn to her hostel.
Unknown to them, William had placed a secret camera with his own intentions earlier
on in the day. Chantelle, on the other hand was with mixed feelings when she
realized what she had done. She sat on her bed weeping since she had stooped so
low and degraded her standards. William got hold of the footage and could
hardly believe his eyes. He then sent the footage to a few of his close friends
who thought so high of Chantelle started to disrespect her and thought she was
so cheap. Others thought Chantelle would never do such a thing. The news spread
like wild fire among all the close friends of Chantelle and Thomas. Chantelle’s
friends started being distant towards her which she never was alarmed; until
she caught them red-handed talking about the incident. She was dumb-founded as
she heard them giving a vivid description how everything unfolded. Being as
curious as ever, she decided to inquire from them how they got to know and they
told her the news spread like wildfire some weeks ago. She then recalled an
incident and now nodded her head in affirmation as she analyzed everything.
Ben Carson on the other hand saw that he had only this
opportunity to use Chantelle. He strategically planned everything he wanted to
do with his twin brother, Ben Wesley, who on the other side disagreed but due
to their promise to have each other’s back no matter what, Ben Wesley carried
on with the plan. He befriended Chantelle and made her feel loved and wanted
ever since the whole footage came out. Everyone shunned her company even her
close friends who revealed to her about the footage.
Wesley became so close to Chantelle that he updated his
brother on what is going on in order to go according to the plan. As naïve as
Chantelle was she fell into the trap of the twins easily and they both started
making advances on her. She didn’t want to give in but later she realized she
was in love with Wesley now Carson who later decided to propose to Chantelle to
be his girlfriend. She accepted the proposal in a haste without second
thoughts. Meanwhile, the twins had both decided to make a fool out of her. A
good Samaritan overheard their conversation and executed every detailed
information to Chantelle. Chantelle was shocked to the brim when the stranger
revealed to her that the boys were twins. She thanked the stranger and decided
to play along with the twins.Unknown to
them, Chantelle hired a secret detective to be checking on the daily activities
of these twins and what they had been up to during the day. The secret
detective updated Chantelle and she plays out her role very perfectly.
Chantelle also had a twin sister, Caroline who was more extroverted
and outgoing than anyone Chantelle knew. Chantelle told her sister her side of
the story and decided to help. The boys were still changing roles as Caroline
played her part as Chantelle. Chantelle on the other hand was home studying
preparing for her end of semester exams whiles her twin sister was playing that
role in the footage.
The twins finally executed their plan as strategically
planned as Caroline decided to use herself as a bait to them. They thought they
had used Chantelle now Caroline and they decided to keep using Chantelle
anytime they felt like it. Wesley convinced his brother that their plan had
been executed so there is no need in keeping her. The boys stupidly sent the
footages to the boys who thought highly of Chantelle. Every boy on campus
concluded ‘’I thought this girl was different, she’s too cheap’’. Caroline and
her sister paid the Detective for a good work done and sent the footages to
everyone on campus in order to redeem the once Chantelle everyone knew.
According to the footage, Caroline drugged the boys drink on
different occasions making a different girl (a slut to replace her) which to
the twins thought was Chantelle(Caroline). The boys were both dumbfounded as
they realized how stupid they had been. Chantelle learned her lesson not to lose
herself because she was head over heels with ‘’some guy’’. After a long day
after everything happened, she woke up and realized it was all a dream. She
woke up with the phrase on her lips as a reminder that ‘’LOVE IS JUST ANOTHER
SIMPLE WORD’’.
