The three men looked very handsome and Dashing which immediately attracted the attention of all the other girls in the Canteen.
The three young men walked to our Table as I expected." What's going on here Mia? " Clover asked In a hushed tone." I don't know too but let's watch and see what happens. " I replied her.
" Hello, girls. " The three young men greeted when they got to our table.
" Hi, guys. " Sasha and her friends replied them Smiling.
" Can we seat? " One of them asked.
" Of course, where are my manners, am sorry. " Sasha quickly replied as she offered them a seat on the chairs surrounding the table.
After Settling down.
" By the way Sasha, who are these two beautiful ladies? " Jeremy the tallest of guys inquired referring to Clover and me.
" Oh! I completely forgot to introduce you guys, Clover, Mia, meet Jeremy, Joseph and John. " She replied.
" Wow!!! I didn't know you had such beautiful Friends, Sasha. " John complimented.
" Friends my foot! " Clover muttered under her breath but I heard it.
" Clover, keep calm! " I told her and she finally relented.
" Of course I do, Why wouldn't I, I look beautiful so I must have beautiful Friends too or have you forgotten about the famous quote which says ' Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. ' " Sasha replied proudly.
" Hmmmn, have you guys ordered yet? " Jeremy asked." No, we haven't, we were waiting for you guys as it won't be good for us to start eating without you guys here. " Lizzy was the one that answered." Oh! So what would you guys like to have, don't hold back as you can order whatever you want, the bill is on me? " Jeremy Announced.
" Wow!!! " The girls Exclaimed." We won't hold back then. "
" Waiter! " Sasha called out and immediately a young lady of about Eighteen Came running.
" Yes, Mam. " She replied.
" Get us Three boxes of Chicken Pizza and Three bottles of Soda drink... " Sasha paused as she turned to the guys.
" What would you guys like to have? " She asked.
" Oh! A bottle of Red Wine is okay. " John replied.
" Okay..., You heard that right? " Sasha asked the Waiter.
" Yes, I did Mam. " The Waiter replied.
" Okay, you can leave to get our orders now, We'll be waiting. " Sasha told the waiter.
" Okay, Ma. " The Young girl replied and Left." Wait, did you order for Mia and Clover? " Jeremy suddenly asked and I was shocked as I didn't expect him to pay so much attention to us that he even remembered our names and also that we didn't place any orders.
" Oh! " Sasha said in ' Realization '
" Such a pretender, She did it intentionally! " Clover muttered.
" Don't Worry, we are okay. " I replied.
" Are you Sure? " He asked.
" Yes. " I replied.
" Okay, if you say so. " He replied.
" Umm, Sasha I heard that you've gotten a tutor for yourself, is that true? " John asked.
" Of course, I have and you know she's one of a kind and I am really satisfied with her and also with her as my tutor I am confident that I'll pass my upcoming Final examination Excellently. " Sasha replied proudly.
" Wow, that's good, you see I also need a personal tutor for myself as I also need to pass the final examination. " John said and Clover and I both looked at each other surprised.
' Is he also a final year student? ' Clover and I communicated with our eyes.
" You have a tutor Sasha? " Lily asked and I could see the surprise in her eyes.
' What's going on here? ' I thought.
" Of course I do! "
" Who's she? " The guys asked in Unison.
" Well, she's not my tutor as she's a student like me but she's more intelligent and smarter than me. " Sasha replied and I could feel the irony in her tone." So who's She? "" It's her. " Sasha replied pointing in my direction." When did you become a Teacher, Mia? " Clover asked me.
" Dunno. " I replied.
" Wait, You are The One Sasha talks about, right? "
" What, Me? " I asked Confused.
" Can you please agree to be my Tutor too, Mia? "
" When did I become a Teacher? " I asked now facing Sasha.
" But you are the most intelligent student in our class, right? "
" So? " I asked neither denying it nor accepting.
" So I thought that maybe you could... "
"Sasha?, So this is your plan all along? "
" No, no... "" So? "
" I indeed want you to be my Tutor. " She admitted.
" Oh! And why should I agree to that? " I asked.
" Because my mom said so. "
" Oh! I didn't realize that students now lie with their mom's name. " I replied amused.
" I am not lying, Mia! " She insisted.
" Whatever, I am not interested in being your tutor you can find one elsewhere. " I replied already on my feet.
" Why? "
" You still have the guts to ask that, Sasha? , after all, you have done? "
" What have I done? "
" It's useless Arguing with you, let's leave here, Clover. " I said.
" Alright, let's go. "
" Wait, why are you guys leaving so early, why don't you stay for a while. " Jeremy Suggested.
" It's okay, we are not staying, bye. " I said as I walked towards the door with Clover trailing behind me.
" That's how she is, Arrogant as always, just because she knows how to Solve some Questions in Physics and Chemistry makes her feel like she knows it all. " Sasha Mocked.
" True, but still I don't think she's that intelligent Though because if she was why would she still need to listen attentively while the teacher teaches? "
" Senseless! " I heard Clover mutter as we walked out of the Canteen.
A father's concern.Author's POVAs Clover and Mia walked to their Estate, Clover was seriously thinking about what happened earlier as it's so absurd." What are you thinking so deeply about, Clover? " Mia asked." Well, I am still wondering why Sasha said something like that, why would she want you to be her tutor when she never liked you? "" Hmmn, you are right, I don't know the reason though but I have got this gut feeling that she has a plan. " Mia replied." Do you think so? "" I do, Sasha looks pure and innocent but I think she is not as innocent as she looks. "" Why do you think that, Mia? " I asked Suprised." Isn't it obvious? , She has those three guys as her friends and Even though they look so young and charming I don't think that that's all that is to it, there's something suspicious about those three guys. "" What do you think is suspicious about them? "" Where do you think they got the money they are Spending From? "" Perhaps their parents are rich. " " I don't

Knock knock ' The sound of my bathroom door being knocked on was heard followed by my mom's concerned voice from the other side." Are you alright there, Mia?, What's taking you so long? " " Am fine Mom. " I replied." Okay, come out soon alright. " She urged."

Pain.After the call ended I couldn't help but think about Clover's situation, though Clover was always happy and Smiling she still had some hidden pain and scars, that's why I love the quote, ' don't judge anyone because you know their names but not their story, you notice their cuts but not their scars, you see their smile but not their pain, you can read their lips but not their minds. 'Clover's Mom left her when she saw just Twelve and Since then she had been all alone with her Nanny as her father was a businessman who hardly had any time for her, Months after her mother's death, her father brought in a woman who he claimed was his secretary, he said that he was going to get married to her and she would become his wife, Clover was very hurt because she was very well aware of how much her mom loved her father and was willing to sacrifice anything for him but it didn't even take her father up to a year to decide that he was going to take a second wife.

Care.I went ahead to my Wardrobe and brought out my Rainproof cardigan and Wore it as it was drizzling outside, I walked downstairs and I could see the Suprise on my parent's faces." Where are you heading to, Mia? " My mom asked me." Well, mom I want to go and Visit Clover. " I replied." Oh! But why now? It's drizzling outside. " " I know Mom but it's urgent. "" Really? " " Yes, Mom " I replied " Then Gwen will have to go with you. " my mom said referring to the cook." Okay, Mom. " I replied then as if remembering something I turned back to my mom " Mom. "" Yes, Mia? What's wrong? "" Is it okay if I prepare Spaghetti Salad? " I asked." You can tomorrow when you get back from school. "" I know, mom but I want to prepare it now. "" Why? Are you hungry? "" I am not actually... " I hesitated a little as I didn't know if I should say it or how I should say it." What's wrong, Mia? " " Umm, it's Clover, Mom, her stepmom didn't want her to eat tonight, she wants to starve he
Chapter 13 * Remember God is with you and he will be with you unto the end. * **** ----- Mia ----- * Many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of it all. * I didn't know where this came from but the words just kept ringing in my mind as I prepared to sleep that night. Earlier I saw in the headlines how christains were being persecuted in the northern part of the country. They are being denied Job promotions while some aren't granted paid employment. Christians are being exploited and mistreated... All because they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christain schools are also being shut down as some gunmen kept barging into the schools to afflict the students, especially the female children. Whenever I hear of female students being sexually abused... I feel that pain in my heart. That one that was really very difficult to fear. Sometimes... It feels like my heart is being ripped off my chest and it really hurts a lot. Like seriously! I f
Chapter 14 * God loves you! * **** Meanwhile, in Clover's Home. Her father and step mother were having a heated discussion on what was going on. " Sometimes I wonder if being a Christian is worth all these persecutions. " Linda commented. " Why do you say that, Honey? " Adrian, Clover's Dad whipped his head towards her. " Isn't it obvious? Christians are being murdered, exploited, denied their rights all because they believe in Christ! " " Um... What's your point? " " Isn't it better being an unbeliever and be free than being a Christian and suffering from all these persecutions? For what actually? " Linda said sharply. " For the joy of the Lord. " " Ah! Haven't you heard that if you need fast money and happiness you must not rely on God? As you'll only be disappointed. " " But the wealth of the Lord lasts forever and will add no pain and suffering to it... Unlike the one that comes from the devil. " " Forever ah! Who knows when one will die? Isn't it better to enjoy all t
Chapter 15* Believe in the living saviour. *****---- Clover ----All my life I have been a Christian but mainly a church goer. Yes... I believed in the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that he's Lord of all...I also believed that he died for the sins of all man kind... But that was only what I knew.I never felt the need to have a more deeper and intimate relationship with my Lord. I didn't realize that I don't have to struggle all by myself as my Lord is more than ready to help me and all I needed to was to simply ask. I knew God loves me since everyone believes so.And John 3:16 also agreed with it too.As it says, * For God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. *I know this... But I never for once personalized it.I never knew God loves me so much that he wanted me to have a good life... One devoid of sadness and grief... I have read, John 10:10 multiple times but I never
