A father's concern

A father's concern.

Author's POV

As 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 think that's it, Even though their parents might be rich I still find them suspicious. "

" Oh! What do you suggest we do then? " I asked.

" Nothing really, we just have to be careful from now on. " Mia replied.

" Sure. "

Meanwhile at the canteen.

" What do you think about Clover and Mia? " Sasha asked the Three guys.

" Nothing much, I just find them Beautiful and Smart especially that Mia, I think I like her already. " John replied.

" Wow? " Sasha asked tightening her fists she already getting jealous.

' why do guys always find Clover and Mia attractive? What's so special about them anyway? ' Sasha thought irritated.

" Yes. "

" Anyways, you better don't grow feelings for any of them, remember our plan? "

" Of course. "

" Which plan? " Lily asked Confused.

" You'll find out soon. " Sasha replied proudly.

Clover and Mia parted when they entered their residential estate as Clover's house was the first-story building in the estate.

" Bye, Mia, see you tomorrow. "

" Bye, don't forget to get to school early tomorrow as it's Friday tomorrow. " Mia reminded.

" Oh! I almost forgot, thanks for the reminder. " Clover replied Smiling.

" Hmmn, Don't forget to study, at least for 3hrs, remember our exams are fast approaching. " Mia advised.

" Alright, I will try my Best. " Clover replied.

" Of course you have to. " Mia replied Smiling as she pulled Clover In for a hug and the latter reciprocated by hugging her back.

They Separated minutes later and they both went their different ways.

When Mia got home, She was Suprised to see a middle-aged man in the living room with a Pair of Spectacles in his eyes, he was reading the daily newspaper.

" Dad? " She called out Suprised.

" Mia, darling " The man replied raising his head.

" It's you Dad? " Mia inquired now getting a little emotional.

" It's me, darling. " The man replied now walking towards her, when he got in front of her he embraced her, and then the once composed Mia broke out in tears.

" Dad, I ... can't believe.. that you are.. back. " Mia said stuttering a little.

" I am back darling and not leaving again, so you don't have to worry. " He replied patting her back.

" Yes, you are. " Mia replied as she stopped crying and wiped her tears.

They broke the Hug minutes later.

" Let's go seat on the couch. " Her dad said.

" Okay. "

" How was school today Mia? " He asked after they have settled down.

" It was fine Dad. " She replied.

" If I remember correctly, you guys close at school by 3 pm, right? "

" Yes, Dad. "

" Then why are you just arriving home now at 4:30 pm? " He asked.

" Well,.."

" Speak to me Mia, why are you home late, is there any problem? " He asked dotingly.

"Dad, we are being punished by our class teacher for breaking one of the class rules. " She replied.

" Oh! Which rule is that if I may ask and which punishment did she give you? "

" Clover and I were talking while the lesson was still ongoing so we were punished by our class teacher, she instructed us to be the class cleaners till when she asks us to stop. " I explained.

" Oh! I understand that you girls made a mistake but the punishment she gave you is too much, why would she instruct you two to be the class cleaners when you aren't a cleaner? , You girls were sent to school to learn and not to clean, Where's my phone, I think I need to make a complaint against your class teacher. " My Dad said Angrily.

" Please Calm down Dad, I understand your Concern but if we look at this logically then we'll realize that it's indeed my and Clover's fault... "

" I know that you and Clover are at fault but you shouldn't become cleaners because of that alright, I am sure that most of your classmates would have started mocking you guys by now, no? "

" You are right Dad, but it doesn't matter whether they mock us or not, I believe that since we broke the class rules then we should be punished for our mistake. " She replied and her Dad sighed.

" Okay I agree with you, But still I can't bear the thought of my daughter cleaning the class, what if you get Asthma ( lung disease ) from the dust? "

" Don't worry too much about that Dad as Clover and I usually make use of our Nose mask while cleaning. " She replied and her Dad finally sighed in relief.

" You can go freshen up now, Darling, you must be tired from all the day's work. " My dad replied.

" Okay, Dad. " Mia replied as she stood up.

" Don't fall asleep yet as you still need to have dinner before you go to sleep. " He advised and she nodded before she started to walk towards the stairs.

" Don't you think your bag is too full, Mia? " He asked concerned.

" I know Dad, it's not always like this, I borrowed a science textbook from our school library today, that's why my bag is heavy. "

" Oh! But why do you have to borrow it when you can just buy it from the bookshop? "

" Well, Dad I don't think there's a need for me to purchase it from the bookshop when I can just borrow it from my school library. "

" Okay, if you say so. " He replied and she nodded as she started climbing the stairs to her room.
