“I think you should be in the hospital with Vicky, so, you can play the violin again, I can wait to see my sister to get better” Pamela said.

“Gosh, why are you so foolish like this, and wait a minute, are you the one to tell me what to do?” Romeo asked. .

“Why can’t you just finished what you started, my sister is lieing helpless on her sick bed, you are here trying to kiss a lady, what sort of human are you, you claimed she’s like your sister, but you didn’t care about her a bit “Pamela said angrily.

“REALLY! wow you really make a good speech, you are so amazing, can you please tell me what your problem is” Romeo said.

“Your problem is my problem, you are the major problem in my life” Pamela blurted.

“I don’t want to start unnecessary argument, so, please leave right now before I decide to change my mind, and am very sure you won’t want to see the other side of me” Romeo said angrily.

“Even before you say that, I Know I will leave, and I am leaving right now” Pamela shouted and walk out of there angrily.

“Go, go” Romeo shouted holding his two ears.

“Pamela, I just wonder why God created her like this, she is very proud but everyone love her alot, even I, I am among those people who has always loved her.

I always think of being her friend, so, I can be more brilliant than her, but she wasn’t ready teach me just because I told her, I will learn from her and became more brilliant than her” Angela said looking at her with the way she was walking.

“She’s too arrogant. Sometimes, if you want to asked for something, you need to asked in a polite way, we are all human and we deserve respect from each other” Romeo said.

“Exactly” Angela said.

“And what did I heard you said, do you mean, you asked her the teach you, and you also told her that you will be more brilliant than her?” Romeo asked.

“Yes, that’s how I felt and I told her my mind” Angela replied.

“WOW! I love your courage, but can I tell you something?” Romeo asked. “Yes, why not” Angela replied.

“If I was also in her shoe, I won’t teach you, I don’t say you can be brilliant more than me, but the thing is, Never outshine your master.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Take it or leave it, I am going now, I want to go and check on Vicky at the hospital” Romeo said and stood to go.

“Never outshine your master, hmmmm, please explain deeper” Angela said.

“I mean, if want to learn from someone, don’t mention it to him or her that you are going to be more brilliant or perfect than them, work on yourself, show them you can be better than them through your grades not by your words.

“Now, I understand perfectly” Angela said and chuckled.
