"So Linda,all you are trying to say is that all your stay in London, you didn't get any white boyfriend".
Ella said smiling cheeky at Linda because she knew she has hit her weak point.
"That side is nonsense,on offense,I wonder what Serena sees in that place. It's just that if you live there you will die single".
We burst out laughing at her comment
" It's not funny ooh, if you see the way people were just minding there business eeh,It was as if,I was an unwanted fly even after all the make up I did and seducing clothes I wore yet no fair boy looked my way".
I kept on laughing, seriously, this is priceless. I wonder how she stayed that long over there . Linda stood up and showed us the walking step she used over there just to get a boy to ask her out and the step itself was hell. To crown it all, today's school is the best and I pray other days would be like this.
Two weeks went by fast and currently am in the administration office about to pay half of my fees. I watched as she placed the money in a money counter.
" You've been told to pay your fees directly to bank, I don't understand why you keep bringing cash to school" .
She said as she typed God knows what in her system, I rolled my eyes. Just at that moment,the door is roughly pushed open and in came a tall dark boy with a low hair cut.
" Excuse me, am sorry for interrupting but the sectary asked me to give you this".
He handed a brown envelope to the woman,she took it and give him a little smile.
"Thank you".
The boy briefly glanced at me before he left the office as if he never came in . That boy that just left is my school senior prefect or head boy. Kelvin Iheomachukwu. The teachers and staffs of this great school loves him infact they cherish him. Leaving the fact that he's rich,he is also intelligent and has won many awards for this school. He is not only academically bright,he is also physically fit. He is the captain of the school football and basketball team and he also the president of my favorite club,press club. Isn't he just perfect and the best part is that his father is one the founders of this school. How good is that?.
I admired and always had a crush on him for like forever. It's just a pity ,he never notices me. I mean,how could he ? When he is this popular and am just me.
" Here's your taller , you can leave and please ask the next person to come in as you step out".
She said and handed me my taller while I thanked her before leaving.walking through the hallway with my eyes on the taller I had in hand which is the the evidence of my fees payment for my WEAC , graduation and second term fees. I still haven't paid for my NECO and third term school fees but I appreciate that my father is doing his best.
"Ouch"
I fell hard on my butt. I accidentally bumped into someone or something.
"Are you blind or something? Can't you watch where you going to ".
The idiot shouted at me without even apologizing for bumping into me. I immediately stood up.
" You are mad, infact you are sick in the brain. Can't you say sorry? You are the one that bumped into me".
I fumed, I hated it when people acted rude and arrogant. It's an everyday thing in this school with these spoilt rich kids , but I wasn't gonna take shit from anyone today. And the worst part is that the idiot turned out to be a science student and my classmate at that. His Golden Smith, the Academic prefect .
"Any more words from you and I will slap you".
He probably doesn't know me but even at that he doesn't have any right to treat people like this.
" I dare you to try that "
I challenged, I wasn't going to make him think am some weak ,naive junior girl he could just step on.
"Golden "!
We turned to the direction of the voice only to see Kelvin running towards us.
"Dude, I told you to go get something and you are here asking a girl out".
He said as stopped in front of us while pacing from the run.
"Asking which girl out? This thing here, is not even my type. Am going to teach her a lesson today so next time she won't disrespect her senior " .
"Who are you calling a thing? You self proclaimed Academic prefect ".
I fired back at him at that moment Kelvin bented down and picked up a piece of paper and that's when I remembered that I dropped my taller .
" You are that girl I saw in the admin office right "?
Does he expect me to answer that. I stretched out my hands towards him asking for my taller instead.
"So you are the almighty Serena Williams I've being hearing about "
He said and smiled while Golden immediately snatched the paper from him.
"You mean this rude girl is........"
Golden didn't finish his words as Kelvin nudged him to keep quiet. Okay, what's going on here? Cause am kinda confused.
"Can I have my taller now".
I said as I interrupted there whispering.
"Sorry about earlier I didn't know you were my classmate".
Golden said as he scratched his hair while laughing awkwardly. I just rolled my eyes at him.
" How will you know, idiot, I wonder how you pass your exams when you are this dump" .
"The teachers don't look at my brain the look at my face".
He said and laughed, he thinks this a joke.
" It's obvious that the are enchanted by your ugly".
I said and shoved him aside and left. Kelvin haven't said anything since then. His just here staring at me as if am an appetizer and it's becoming annoying and uncomfortable .
After what happened between I and my parents I have decided to let go of my dreams of studying abroad and focus more on my Education . Since I can’t have that I should hold on to the one I already have. Things have become a little bit different at school. Actually, things have changed and these days I am more on my own than with friends except for a particular student who is always around me at times. My face flushed red when I thought of all the times we've spent together "What are you smiling about " He raised an eyebrow and eyed me suspiciously "Nothing " I answered still smiling sheepishly Alexander, that's his name . His being the guy who had been keeping me company and he's kinda cute. He was the guy I met at the prefect Meeting and my date on valentine’s night party. “You are wired at times. Well, that's your own cup of tea”. "You still don't want to talk about the reason why you came to school on Monday with a slap mark on you cheeks " I suddenly felt rigid
MENTION OF ABUSE AND FLOGGING, PLEASE IF THIS DON’T SIT RIGHT WITH YOU SKIP Getting home was one of the things Serena feared because knowing her father,he won’t let anything pass him. “Get to your room and don’t come down until you are called “ Serena didn’t even wait a second moment and was already halfway through the stairs but stopped when she heard her mother’s conversation with her dad. “Don’t be too harsh on her she is just a kid” “ just a kid you say? Do you know what this kid of yours have done” Her father’s voice rang through the house. “ Do you not understand the gravity of what she has done , she probably stole that money or she either slept with a man to get it” “ I am not only disappointed in her but in you as well. Because I can’t seem to fathom the reason why your daughter would be acting this way “ “ She is also your daughter “ Her mother is almost on her limit. Serena couldn’t even remember the last time her parents had an arguments but now they see
Serena sat on the chair waiting patiently for the woman but her wait was interrupted when two officers came to her. "Are you miss Serena Williams" She nodded her head wondering why they came to her or was it also among the procedures she needed to follow but when she looked over to the woman she once spoke to only to find her glaring daggers and looking at her with disgust it was then that she thought otherwise "You are under arrest" Upon hearing that her eyes widened,why? She haven't done anything wrong, then why was she under arrest . Seeing the confusion in her eyes one of the police men began to doubt the accusations laid on her. "Why ? What did I do?" "You are to remain silent for every word you say would be used against you in the law court". The other police man said sternly not banting an eye. Serena turned to the other officer with plead in her eyes begging him to help her out but he didn't look at her. Before she knew what was going on she was already cuffed
"So why am I invited here again "Linda sat down facing me,I had invited her to one of the restaurant well usually go to eat so we could discuss on the new e-mail I got but I only wanted to share the good news with her. " C'mon you just got here ,chill"She eyed me before calling on the waiter to come attend to her. " Chill? You want me to chill? Just tell me what brought me here "Why is she sounding so angry I didn't call her to get yelled at or for her to throw her frustration on me but I knew something was wrong for her to sound like that. "Spill it" "Spill what?"She's definitely hiding something and she couldn't even make it less obvious. "What's wrong? Why are you yelling?" "It's nothing okay, let just get into business so I can go home,I got a lot of things to do "Things to do? Linda ? She never has things to do at home literally nothing,she is always free and now she is using t
"Have she gotten the news about my accident" "No,am not sure. I just don't know why you are still persistent on not letting her go,just let her go and free yourself out of this conflict and confusion she put you into".James had an IV drip on his hand as he lay down on the hospital bed with his thought drifting back to Friday night. He has been in the hospital for two days straight and heading to the third day and all he could think of was Serena. He wanted to know how she felt now that he is hurt,is she happy? Is that the reason behind her not visiting him in the hospital. "I know you love her but she isn't worth it, look what she made you do".James turned away from Adiguin he couldn't help but feel like all Adiguin had ever wanted was to sour his relationship with Serena and perhaps, he was actually getting what he wants. "Just wake me up once she comes"Adiguin wanted to protest and tell his friend that she won't be coming but before he could ev
ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT "Serena look me in the eye and tell me yes and I promise you that I won't talk nor approach you again"James heart was palpating as he gazed at Serena scared of what she would say next and then she said it. She threw the bomb. "James am..... Am sorry, I think.. I think we should break off whatever we..." "No no no no no"He pushed her away while yelling like a psychopath. He pulled on his hair,he couldn't take it, even though he wanted to his heart couldn't. "Am sorry"Serena was on the floor shading tears and apologizing but James couldn't hear her as had lost his mind knowing that the more he stayed besid
Everything became cold and dry for Serena after that Valentine's night. Things changed and probably life itself changed . She has finally registered for her Jamb Examination and began to kill herself with books. To her, things has gone back to how the used to be before her final year and the difference there was that there was no James and Ella to make her think that life's a bitch or frustrate her so she taught herself to leave through it and let it all go. Waking up this morning, she felt sore and sick she didn't know why ,but she didn't have that urge to attend classes. She felt as if something was missing but she couldn't figure out what so she decided to waste her time and then use it as an excuse not to attend school. She was tired but she knew she had to make ends meet so she pushed herself sluggishly walking to the kitchen while rubbing her eyes. Getting into the sitting room she looked towards the dining to see the messed up table and she smiled 'perfect' now she c
It was this particular scene that James met as he drove into the parking lot of the building with a smug look on his face as he stepped down from the car and so did Ella his date for the party. Ella was dressed in a purple ball gown with black gloves , light make up and a purple sun hat . She really looked amazing unlike the Ella Serena knew. On the other hand ,James was putting on a red tuxedo, his hair curled and also shinning it was obvious that he applied gel on it and that he putted a lot of work into it. "Fancy seeing you here"Alex bowed slightly with a smug look on his face and that's when I knew he was out for trouble but James didn't spare him a glance instead he look towards me with an angry look. "Why are you here"That question took me off guard it made me furious. What does he mean by that question, don't I have any right to be here. "What do you mean? Can't I be here?" "You don't attend this kind of things but n
A/N: HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU ALL AND AM REALLY SORRY IT'S COMING LATE FROM ME. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS BOOK BUT PLEASE COMMENT AND LEAVE A REVIEW FOR THIS BOOK. PLEASE TELL ME YOUR MIND AND WHAT YOU THINK FOR IT'S THE MOTIVATION I NEED AND ALSO WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER SO FAR. After the incident at the hallway between James and Serena they both haven't talked to each other and they weren't planning on doing that any time soon and now it's finally Valentine's day. Mrs Williams ,Serena's mother was in the room helping her daughter get ready for the After Party since she refused to attend the Valentine party hosted by the school but instead wanted to attend the one set up by her classmates. "So who is this Alex guy" "No one special ,just a close friend of mine"Serena's reply showed her lack of interest in the discussion or probably the party. She didn't plan on attending this party since she wasn't the party type but Alex and Linda found a way to make her go and no
