Before going to her room Joanna first stopped at Anthony's room to pass a very important message to him.
Joanna was hurrying to take off her clothes when her cell phone dinged.
For fear of delaying herself, she didn't take a look at her message box but instead rushed into the bathroom to freshen.
She was in the middle of putting on her undies when her cellphone rang.
Realising that the caller was Audrey, Joanna answered the line instantly.
"Girl, have you read the message I sent to you about today's morning lesson being postponed to tomorrow morning?" Audrey, who was on the line, asked.
Joanna puts on her white shirt before replying. "Did you send me a message?" Joanna asked carefreely.
"Since you are not on the school's platform and you haven't read the message then that means you must not be aware that my Mr Fin postponed his lecture to tomorrow…,"
"What!" Joanna remarked in a mixture of surprise and anger.
"I am hurrying right now just to meet up with his class and you are telling me that he has cancelled his class? What the hell is wrong with him?" Joanna talked as though Audrey was Mr Fin who cancelled the lecture.
"Anna…,"
"Just because I was scared of coming late to his class on my first day, I didn't get wink of sleep after the strenuous work I did last night. I even went as far as getting into a fight with Adhara and Mr Anderson…,"
"Hey Girl, did something happen at home?" Audrey asked jumping up from the bed she was laying on.
"Did they perhaps gang up on you…,"
"Gang up on me?" Joanna chuckled, turning to sit on the bed.
Since it has been confirmed that she didn't have classes in the morning she didn't see any reason she should hurry to dress up.
"Are they capable of even doing that or do you think this Anna here is the type anyone can try to bully and go scot-free?" Joanna said proudly.
"Girl, I know you are not that timid girl in the past but, are you trying to tell me that you are capable of defeating your stepmother, Laura and father if a fight were to break out?" Audrey asked curiously.
She has been hearing Joanna say these same words on different occasions but never had she stopped to think seriously about what she said.
Hearing her say these words made her wonder whether she was really as capable as she wants to make her believe.
"Do you think I was only bluffing or did you believe that I was attending parties with Demons and monsters while I was in The Ancient Forest Of No Return?" Joanna sounded a bit offended by Audrey's question.
Audrey sat back on the medium size bed and stare at the window.
"I have already guessed that you must have gone through a lot when you were there but you never mentioned what happened after that night so how did you expect me to know what you experienced there?" Audrey said meekly.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom She was hurt by Joanna's words and the tone of her voice showed it.
"Also, you know that is not what I meant so why are you talking this way?"
Joanna realised she shouldn't have said those words to Audrey when she thought back on what she said.
"I didn't mean to hurt you with my words. Maybe I am acting this sensitive because of what transpired between me and my family. It was wrong of me to transfer the aggression to you so I apologize," Joanna said softly.
If there is someone whom she knows loves her a hundred per cent then that person is none other than Audrey.
In fact, she recently realised that the hotheaded girl loves her to a fault.
"Are you still mad at me?" Joanna asked playing with the tips of her long silver hair.
"Will you stop being angry at me if I sing for you…,"
"Hell no," Audrey who has been quiet on the other end shouted.
"You are good at every other thing except singing. It's too early to get my eardrum blown off by you…,"
"You know that you are over exaggerating, Drey. And I have been practising how to sing with Bacon for a long time now. I am a better singer now…,"
"You know that I am right…,"
"If you don't believe me how about I sing for you now," Joanna said. She cleared her throat and was about to sing when Audrey spoke up.
"You can save that for later. But for now, tell me what your family did to you and together we are gonna take revenge on them…,"
"I don't think that is necessary because as we are speaking I am sure they must be suffering from the aftermath of my revenge," Joanna said grinning evilly.
"Did you do something to them? Tell me what is it?" Audrey asked curiously, adjusting well on the bed.
Instead of her response, Audrey could hear Joanna's laughter at the other end.
"Anna, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me exactly what you did…,"
"Not now, I will tell you everything in detail when we meet later. Wait for me in your apartment," Joanna said hurriedly.
"Anna…," Joanna disconnected the call not letting Audrey complete what she wanted to say.
Joanna took her time to dress up. She stayed in her room for fifteen minutes and then went downstairs with her black chain handbag hanging on her shoulder.
Reaching downstairs she met her stepmother and Laura lying on the couch in the sitting room.
The manner they lay with their legs parted and their hands spread made Joanna almost burst out in a peal of deafening laughter.
"Stepmother, Laura, are you both ok?" Joanna waited and asked looking very concerned.
"Didn't you look very energetic earlier so why do you look so weak and paled right now, are you sick…," Joanna ended up chuckling before she could complete her sentence.
"Hey, witch what are you laughing at?" Laura mustered up the little strength left in her to talk.
"Are you perhaps responsible for this huh?" Laura asked struggling to sit up on the couch.
"Hmmm…. Let me think about that question," Joanna said tapping her head with her index finger as though she was in deep thoughts.
"Indeed I am responsible for it but I recall warning you to be careful of poison or didn't I?" Joanna asked grinning evilly.
Joanna's words made Laura and Adhara's eyes widen in shock.
"Did you poison us?" Adhara and Laura asked not able to hide their fears.
