Best Of

Part 3
As the weeks progressed, Lerato would get to know Kelechi better. For instance, she would find out that he likes bacon and eggs for breakfast which was great, because the more she knew about him the more she could exploit it to her own advantage. She also knew that he liked the colour blue which was useful to know. One day whilst during her break she would go to the library and spot him there, causing her to come up to him, "Kelechi!" She would exclaim with controlled happiness, touching his shoulder to assert dominance.
"Hey Lerato," Kelechi responds, "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing great considering I get to see you," Lerato says, attempting to manipulate him. Her grip on his shoulder would get tighter as she continues talking, "Now how about we hang together? It doesn't have to be big. We can just go the park and chill really."
He would widen his eyes and reply in shock, "Really?"
"Yes Kelechi, we can hang out together. How does that sound?" She questions, letting go of his shoulder.
"That would... that would be nice," Kelechi responds, smiling slightly.
And so, on the weekend Lerato would be waiting for him in the park, wearing a simple black hoodie and jeans. After what seemed like a while he would finally appear, making Lerato smirk, "Finally, took you long enough," She would say as they started walking down the grey path together.
"Sorry I'm late," Kelechi would reply timidly, "The bus was late," He would explain, making Lerato wave her arm round a bit in dismissal.
"Nah, it's fine, at least you're here," Lerato would respond confidently, taking long strides with her legs as she walks, "So how's life?" She questions casually.
He would keep his sleeves rolled down, answering "It's okay, I guess. I have to do a lot of college work nowadays but it's fine."
Lerato nods thoughtfully at his response, then adding, "I have to do a lot of college work myself. Art work really. But it's alright, I can manage it perfectly fine. After all," A beat. Then she responds arrogantly, "I'm invincible."
Kelechi gets taken aback by her confidence, then smiles, "You are pretty confident Lerato. That's a good trait to have."
Lerato adjusts her hair before smirking knowingly, "Thank you," She would say, taking the compliment well.

Part 2
Lerato was in bed that night deeply asleep after successfully manipulating her parents and had a dream. She had a dream that she was on the throne.

"Ha! This is exactly what I imagined my future to look like!" Lerato would smirk, looking down at her loyal subjects, "Don't disappoint me."
Her loyal subjects nodded in agreement, rushing to get done with the next order of hers.
The next morning, Lerato would wake up in her bed satisfied, "That was a lovely dream," She would mutter to herself with another smirk, but this time it was an evil smirk.
Later on, she was at college again but this time she was in the library doing her work when Kelechi a boy below her year sat down opposite her with his laptop on the table, typing away at some code, "What's your name?" Lerato would suddenly ask, already knowing that she was going to manipulate him.
"Kelechi," He muttered shyly, glancing at her briefly before getting back to do his work.
"My name's Lerato," Lerato speaks up, leaning towards him maliciously, "What are you working on?"
Kelechi pauses. A beat. Then he frowns and responds timidly, "Just some college work."
"You must be pretty smart then," Lerato then states, "But you know who's smarter?" She questions.
"...Who?" Kelechi asks.
"Me of course," Lerato says confidently in her bravado, "Follow my lead and we'll get along just fine."
