Henry paid for the bills, and they set off to school. Everyone rushed to the front lawn of Kingsley house when they saw Henry walking towards the dorm with a girl in his arms. "Go call me, Esther." He instructed a junior to call the house prefect. They all wanted to see who the girl was but couldn't see her face because she had fallen asleep in his arms, while listening to his heartbeat and the vibration his voice made in his chest. Esther came downstairs and was not pleased to behold this sight. "What's the meaning of this?" she demanded with an annoyed voice. "And who is that?" she asked again. "I need you to put your members in order. I have to bring her inside." Henry instructed, ignoring her questions with a lazy look on his face. "Excuse me? There is no way you are entering a girl's dormitory. If she's asleep, wake her up. Let whoever it is you are carrying walk." Esther replied, getting angrier by each passing minute. "Oh My God! Is it that you girls are stupid, or do you act like that just to annoy me? Are you blind? Can't you see this is Ellen, and she's hurt? How do you expect her to walk?" Henry said, with a look that said stop irritating me and carry out the damn instructions. "Ellen! Of course, she is the only girl on campus that the great Henry will carry like some kind of princess. I have had enough of you and your little girl. You might be a prefect and feel like you run this school but guess what, Mr. Wise and smarty pants, YOU DON'T! I am also a prefect, and this is my jurisdiction, you can't enter! I don't care if she's hurt or not, that is not my problem. Either you make her walk or leave!" Esther replied furiously at the sight of Ellen in his arms. Henry just stared at her and was about to give a comeback when; "Elle!" her friends came rushing and asked Henry what happened to her, but he spoke to Esther instead; "If you don't get demoted from your prefect ship, change my name." he said and left. Abby and Kelly just stared at his retreating back and sighed.

"Have you gone completely mad? Why did you have to make such a scene at her dorm and then bring her here?" A furious Clara entered the sports prefect's room with Eric trailing behind her. She was in her room when Adwoa entered; "You are over here, and your best friend is making a scene in front of Kingsley house. He's carrying Ellen and making demands to be allowed to enter because she is hurt." She reported. "WHAT?" Clara exclaimed and dashed to the dorm, but was told they had left. Nobody had an idea as to where Henry had taken Ellen except the girl who carried the crotches for him. She was sent for, and that's how Clara got to know she had been taken to the boys' side of school. She met Eric, who was on his way to the entertainment hall like everyone else. "Wow, man, you are great, just great. You brought a girl to the boys' dormitory, wow. You really do take advantage of your father being a shareholder in the school to run it on your terms." Eric commented in surprise admiration. Clara glared at him and turned to Henry for an explanation. "You do know I would have responded if you two had greeted before interrogating me, right? And Ellen is fine, just that she will be using crotches now, and she's at stage one of ulcer. Thanks for asking." Henry said sarcastically instead. "Oh My God, really?" Clara asked with concern evident in her voice. Henry just nodded. "Wait, does that mean she hasn't been eating well? No wonder she's lost weight like this. Someone needs to tell her books aren't everything." Eric chipped in. "I thought you two were good friends. Why don't you tell her?" Henry asked, appalled. Clara was just sitting by, worried sick about her condition. "Is she going to be alright?" she asked. "Well, she is since am going to be her nurse now." Henry said with a smirk. "WHAT?!" They both exclaimed in unison. "Bro, you are joking, right? That is so cool. So, Mr. Nurse, how are you going to take care of your patient? I'm pretty sure making her fall for you is part of the treatment, huh?" Eric said, and the two boys laughed while Clara shook her head. "You two do remember you have made me a promise, right? I know Eric won't, but Henry, I will skin you alive if you make her one of your played victims, you player." Clara said, and Henry raised his right palm as a sign of oath swearing. "Relax, sis, I'm really into her. I cross my heart and hope to die." He said with his other hand behind him. Eric roared with laughter, and Henry joined, making the noise wake Sleeping Beauty up. Clara made a face at them and was about to ask their reason for laughing when Ellen screamed, "Aaaaaaahhhh!" They all turned their focus on her, and that's when Clara noticed she had accidentally hit her broken leg while trying to confront the boys. Ellen looked like a child whose candy had been snatched as she pouted with pain. Henry rushed to her side and helped her sit. "Sorry, sorry. Where does it hurt? Tell me. Here or there?" Henry inquired, but only made it worse as he was touching it. "Oh, Elle, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to cause you pain." Clara apologized, and Ellen nodded. "Henry explained what the doctor said, and I'm very disappointed in you. Why aren't you taking care of yourself? Do you know how dangerous ulcer is? Henry, what do you have in your chop box? Prepare something for her to eat." Clara scolded and ordered, taking charge as, she always does. "Forget about the provisions, those will be going into her box when I send her back. For now, let's order." Henry replied, and Ellen suddenly became aware of her surroundings at the mention of 'take her back'. "Um, where am I? She asked. "You are in my room, sweetie." Henry answered, and Eric smirked. Ellen became alarmed, but Clara assured her they would behave as long as she was with her. "Don't give me ideas to throw you out like Esther did. Speaking of which, I want her demoted from her position as house prefect." Henry said with a glint of anger in his eyes. "And why do you want that if I may ask?" Clara threw him a question with folded arms. "She disrespected me and insulted me in front of the whole school when I politely asked her to alert the girls. I was bringing Ellen upstairs since she is hurt. That is why she is here at the boys' dormitory side. Because her insolent house prefect practically threw her out." Henry replied. Ellen was shocked to hear that, since she was asleep, but a part of her was glad to be here with Clara and the boys. Clara raised an eyebrow and told him she would think about it and present a case to the senior housemistress. Henry smiled and hugged her. "Save that for later, I didn't say I'd demote her." Clara replied and smiled at Henry's reaction. He was about to speak when his phone rang. It was the deliveryman who had brought the food he ordered. "Eric, go and get the package at the gate. The delivery man is here." "Excuse me? Hey, forget that we are friends and mates, I'm a high-ranking prefect than you, so you're below Clara and me... Ellen is the junior here, but she is hurt, so you are the next junior, go and get it nurse." Eric replied, and Ellen was shocked. "Oh, I'm so sorry, senior. I didn't know I was being disrespectful." Henry said in a sarcastic, meek voice, and his eyes turned sharp like spears ready for battle; "Are you going to get the damn food or not?" He asked, the atmosphere turning chilly in a second. "Lord have mercy, Henry, must you turn so scary in just a second? I'll go for it since none of you want to." Clara said as she rolled her eyes and made her way for the door, but was stopped by Eric. "Don't bother yourself, Clara, I'll go for it. You are talking as if you don't know the two of us." Eric said with a smile and winked at the frozen Ellen, which made Henry frown. They assured Ellen it was okay and that they fought like cats and dogs, but they never really had a real fight. Eric arrived while Clara went to get the house keys from Esther so Henry could send Ellen before the entertainment ended. Clara came back to find Henry feeding Ellen with his hand while Eric ate his food with a satisfied smile plastered on his face. She just smiled at how red Ellen was with shyness and ate her food as well, beside Eric, who offered to feed her too, and they all laughed.
