'Hey!' sole shouted. 'Tedd! chris!' she paused as Chris turned, 'wait up dummy'.
'Bye Jess' Chris said hugging a tall dark toned girl. He turned to face Sole, 'hiya babe'
'what the fuck were you doing with Jessica?!' Sole asked with her eyes wide opened.
'hehehe, Jealous freak', he said holding her right hand.
'Gotcha go Chris, got practise', she turned facing him directly.
'should I wait for you?' Tedd asked
'yeah yeah' she shouted and kissed him, 'biya'.
Chris watched her as she walked down to the basketball court.
Chris and Sole being together for a couple of months. They had a very awesome but rocky relationship.
Although, Chris was standpole's popular playboy, Sole had a hold on him which made everyone wonder how she could flip the switch with him. Gossips went round that Sole charmed the playboy and in no time he'll be back to his usual shenanigans.

'Ouch!' they chorused. He bent down to pick the books scattered on the floor.
'I'm really sorry about that', Chris said handing them over to her.
'Thanks a lot', she smiled 'I'm Flora Shaw' she brought her hand out to shake his, 'and you?'
''Chris, Chris Tedd'' he shook in return.
'I'm new here, really don't know my way around, can you help me with that?' Miss Shaw asked.
'Of course I can', Chris smiled.
'I'm headed to the administrative office'
'It's that way' he pointed.
'Thanks' she replied.'see you some other time'. They both waved as Chris walked down to the court.
'Hey!' Sole called out,' where have you being?'
Chris gave her a puzzled look and shrugged, 'looking for you', he replied.
'I saw you talking to Jess earlier, should I be worried'...
Jess again! Chris thought, he's been trying to convince Sole that he wasn't into Jess but she isn't getting it. He gave her a reassuring look and pulled her closer.

'Mum I'm home!', Sole shouted as she headed towards the kitchen.
Mrs Brando headed out wearing an apron, she smelled vanila and strawberry.
'Hi honey' Mrs Brando welcomed her daughter with a peck on the cheek.
'Are we having cake?' Sole said with so much excitement.
'No', Mrs Brando replied, she saw how Sole's excitement faded away instantly. 'well it's for the group home close by, Alicia will be seven tomorrow, I wanted it to be special, so hence why I am looking all messed up'.
'You and Alicia, I told you to adopt her already, I also want a baby sister' she retorted.
'It is not so easy Sole, her mum is in a mental home, so she still has a family' Mrs Brando sighed,'Your father called!'
Sole eyes dropped. Mr Brando was an on and off figure in his family. He disappeared when Sole was in middle school. Since then he's been calling anonymously and even sending tonnes of money to his family. She was silent for a while then she asked ''what does he want?'
'He's coming back Sole, your dad is coming back', Mrs Brando replied.
Sole's eyes popped, she wondered why he wanted to be involved in their lives again after disappearing for ten years! He never said goodbye, she remembered how her mum covered up for him for three years before she finally told them he disappeared.
What does he want with us? She thought, all these years she has a feeling he left because he was tired of them. 'He wants to come back Sole', her mother said again pausing the silence, 'He sounded remorseful'.
'I'm not interested', Sole blurted, she gave her mum a stern look,''How does he explain that he abandoned us?'
'He didn't Sole, he called several times, he pays our bills' Mrs Brando sighed, 'This house, this good life he gave it to us'
Sole shook her head in disappointment, 'Is that why you didn't file for a divorce?'
There was a long pause, Mrs Brando tried to figure out why Sole made that statement, she had herself to blame for wanting a good life for herself and her daughters.
'Your father is coming back, and you will have this talk with him not me', she finally said and stood up yanking her apron off her.
