Chapter 75: A New Circle
Weeks have gone by and the little world on the campus tends to be huge as Zena and Drake cross apart without being noticed by each other.
Although Drake had wished to see Zena and his wishes were not wishing well, and he tend to hope for that day.
Maria and Zena are not getting along as they used to, and as Zena has formed new friends Maria has paired with Kate with Kate's friends.
Although their separation was nothing too difficult to reconcile and because Kate's intention was not to allow Zena close to her relationship with Drake, then she has to use Maria as her tool to stay away from Zena.
Zena just finishes having her lectures, and the moment she came out of the class she bumped into Maria and Kate.
Of course, they saw each other, but Maria's heart is fed with the liquid flame that Kate had filled her with and she is not ready to be friends with Zena anymore.
The classroom passage was filled with student and Zena is now talking with her new friend, Rita both of them has the same personality and edubrilliant which made them pair easily
Zena was chit-chatting when someone closed her eyes from behind,
“Richard! I know it's you!”
“Really Richard!” Marcus surprisingly asks,
And Zena concurrently said the minute she heard Marcus,
“Oh, Marcus!
I thought it was Richard because of his good in doing this kind of stuff!”
“Good in doing what kind of stuff?” Richard hollered a few seconds after his arrival where Zena had stood with her new friend including Marcus and Zena asked,
“What happen I did not see you in class today”
Richard viciously replied while staring at Marcus at how his holding Zena so tight close to his bosom as he stood behind Zena.
“I went for an errand, can you share your note on today's lecturers with me?”
“Or you went to get rid of your tail!”
Marcus replied to Richard as he sneered passively toward Richard then start nuzzling Zena on her shoulder side as he clutch her with both his arm to get Richard's attention.
However, Marcus was able to get to Richard's skin making his blood boil as he sweeps into anger and furiously stares at Marcus.
Although Zena could not relate to what Marcus had said to Richard rather she only saw the anger on Richard's face which startled her to ask,
“Richard What is it?
Can we talk about the lecture now?”
But Richard said nothing as he glares at Marcus while Marcus then, pecked Zena on the cheek and he asserted,
“I will excuse you both for now, but I will waiting in the car!” Marcus declares to Zena and left.
Rita had left the moment Marcus joined them because she don't feel comfortable around him and its only Zena and Richard standing in the foyer while he ask Zena,
“When did you and Marcus's relationship happen that I have no idea?”
“Huh?
Relationship?
What relationship?” Zena astonishingly reprimand,
“I can see how he controls you meaning you are comfortable having a relationship with him.”
Zena was at six and seven about what Richard is saying and she is totally speechless on ways to convince Richard that she has nothing to do with Marcus.
Then she said,
“Richard are you interested in today's lectures you missed or about Marcus and my untrue relationship?” she asked glaring at Richard as she folds her arms
“Okay, I'm sorry!
Maybe it was because I was jealous watching him hold you that way
Come to think of it,
Who would want to have anything to do with junior, a fresher?”
“Nobody is doing anything with anyone!” Zena asserted as she grab Richard by the arm as they walked into the classroom.

“How was school today?” Mercy asked Zena from the kitchen side as she wipes and hands with a blue towel,
“Fine!,” Zena hollered and she double walked into her room while Mercy followed her,
“I saw your friend dropping you off today,
What's that his name?” Mercy ask as she murmurs in her mind to recall but Zena assisted her as Zena said,
“Marcus!”
“Oh, that's true!
Marcus!
Are you two getting into something?
Because I saw how he looks at you while you left his car.”
“Me?
Looking at me?
How?” Zena affirms as she drops her bag and note in the wardrobe and note on the shelf side.
Mercy flicks her sight as she glares at Zena watching how she explains herself about Marcus and she could observe that Zena likes Marcus but that is not the case when she brought out a surprise gift.
“Tataaaah” Mercy announced displaying three keys that are beautified with the carved wooden wolf as the key holder.
Zena was surprised and shocked to see the wolf on the keys which made her wonder if Mercy had found out about her being.
Displaying a dull look from Zena made Mercy curiously ask,
“You don't like the car I bought for you?”
Zena was brushed into the excitement the minute Mercy talked about what the keys were meant for and she shove out the keys from Mercy with so much excitement and Zena hugged Mercy with so much happiness and she said,
“Thanks!
I love the gift, I have always wished to have a car for myself.” Zena unhug herself from Mercy admiring the Keys and Mercy mumbled,
“Come on let me show you, your new car so we could have a ride?” but Zena went passively sad when she recall and said,
“But how do I drive when I have no idea at all on how to drive?”
But Mercy had planned everything out as she tries convincing Zena as she explained,
“You don't have to worry about anything, I will tutor you this weekend and by the new week you should have learned the primary basics and you can drive yourself to school on Monday.”
“Really!” Zena a bit happily ask and she continued,
“Is that possible I could learn how to drive in two days?”
“Absolutely, possible if you make your effort count, and with this alphabet letter L, everyone will get to understand and make it easy for you until you are stronger on the wheel.”
Zena was overwhelmed, with her new gift, and Mercy was ready to tutor her on everything she need to know about driving.
Zena picked each lesson seriously as she turns out so perfect at driving.
Although, the 25-speed kilometer was the best speed meter for Zena to apply on Monday as she snails roll her car to school in the early Monday hours.
Her amateur attitude as she drove on the campus attracted few of the students especially those that knew her without a car to notice her on her new ride.
Meanwhile, lucky for Marcus that the moment Zena pull to the parking mark Marcus drove in and saw coming out of her red flashy SUV,
“Wo! Woo!
This looks good on you baby!” he held Zena from the waist side as she tries picking her note from the driver's passenger seat side and the moment she bend to pick up her stuff her back side review was so obvious as Marcus got lust to her butt and he murmured very close to Zena's ear
“Can we have a drink together?
A quiet place!
Just you, me, and your new car!”
He swerves Zena to his front pressing her breast close to his heart, looking deep into her eyes as he groans,
“Just you and me, far from anyone's reach!” he kissed her forehead and Zena did not object to it while she approved the invitation and Marcus release her from his grip and other her to go to class not to be late because of him.
