In a jiffy, they arrived the school and an orientation was held for all the new students, after which, they were assigned their dormitories.
A room contained six beds, four toilets, and a television. Carla, Sylvia, Serina, Veronica, Rita and Jordan were assigned to the same room, for each room was for six students. After a tour, and after the new students settled, the bell rang for dinner. There was no rushing, as all were expected to behave orderly. After the meal, they all retired to bed. The next day, classes were assigned to them. Lucky enough, Carla and Sylvia fell into the same branch of Jss1. Within the first term, they became good freinds. They read and ate together.

Serina grew jealous of the roses, so decided to destroy both using one. She was able to sike Sylvia, telling her that Carla was only a spoiler and will never do her good. Carla noticed Serina and Sylvia got close and Sylvia now avoided her. It was very unusual and Carla confronted Sylvia about it. “Why aren't you talking to me anymore”she asked her one evening. Sylvia ignored her and walked away. In school, Sylvia stopped doing things with Carla and most times served as trouble to her, by making scenes.
On one occasion, Carla came out best overall and Sylvia spread a rumour that she partook in examination malpractice. It was very viral and many began to hate and lack trust in Carla, in a including Mrs Davis, Sylvia s aunt, who was the principal. Carla now only had Veronica as a friend. She was the only one who believed in her and consoled her any time she felt hurt by what Sylvia was doing.
“Dear, I noticed that Sylvia doesn't visit any longer.” Lilly asked her child one evening after dinner.
Carla told her everything and how Sylvia turned towards her. She adviced her to keep being good at all times.
Things became worse, when Sylvia's parents and Carla's father died on a business trip. Sylvia blamed Carla for their death, which made Mrs Davis hate her more. The environment never became conducive for Carla any longer, as all saw her as a witch. She complained to her mother, who pulled her out to another school immediaetly.

“Mum, I'm so confused, Jerry just proposed to me and I love him but Sylvia is already his first wife.” Carla complained to her mother. “My dear, follow your spirit, marry him, for love is blind.” Lilly said.
Carla accepted Jerry's proposal and married him, as the second wife. It was not easy for Carla.
