Bella's Presentation II

I didn't want to listen to him I didn't want to miss out on Bella's presentation I already assured her I was going to be there and it'll be a shame if I don't.

Xavier appeared at Becca's apartment, it skipped his mind that he has to be at Bella's presentation. 

Xavier strode from the parking area after parking his Lamborghini truck and he was approaching the entrances. He halted catching a glimpse of Becca getting out of the swimming pool and he observed her flawless body gleaming as the rays of the sun poured on her.

She was donned in only a bikini and her lips were coated with ruddy lipstick. Xavier ambled to her and her lips curled into a smile noticing him besides her. She grabbed a fluffy towel and kneaded her arms.

Xavier pulled her close to him and he glanced at her lips, "how are you love?"

Becca wrapped her arms on his neck, "I'm great. You arrived at the right time."

"Right time?" Xavier's face got puzzled.

Becca chuckled, "my mum, Suzie is at home. I cannot wait to introduce you to her as my man."

Xavier clasped her hand, "let's go see her then."

"Of course babe."

I noticed many students and people roaming the hall of Bethany college as I strode across the hall. I bowed sheathing my face with a scarf to conceal my face. A lady shoved me I nearly stumbled and I let go of the scarf and a viscid breeze appeared flinging the scarf afar it flew through a window.

I peeked under my lashes to see a mob of student footballers hopping energetically approaching the hall, I quickly wrapped my face with the strands of my hair and I trotted outside to where my scarf is flying by.

It finally landed on the school's field. I picked it up and draped it around my head, I looked like a Muslim in a veil. I turned from where I stood and my eyes widened with excitement spotting Joshua. He was nattering with his classmates while chewing popcorns.

It was the school's break hour.

I gazed at Joshua for a long while, some of his friends noticed me staring at Joshua and they stared at me wondering who i was. Glancing at my nose and eyes beneath the scarf, they realized it is me.

"Hey, " one of the kids jerked Joshua's arm, "isn't that your mother?"

"My mum?" Joshua raised his brows in nervousness.

The kid nodded.

Joshua quickly veered and he felt startled catching sight of me. I noticed him staring at me and I waved at him grinning from ear to ear. He did not wave back nor smiled at me. Rather, his eyes grew wide as plate and he started to me.

"Mum what are you doing in my school? Shouldn't you be home?" He yelped.

"I know son but your sister is having....," I was speaking and he cut me off, "enough mum! You shouldn't be showing your face here. Now my friends have seen your face and they're gonna think my mum isn't gorgeous like their mums with normal faces."

"Hey check it out!" Snorting, Billy, the bully in Joshua's class pointed at me, " it's Joshua's mummy she looks so old and ugly too." The other kids erupt into an outburst of laughter staring at me and I noticed Joshua's face burning in embarrassment.

I didn't care at all that they were snortling, I held Joshua's hands, I wanted to pull him closer to me he balled his fingers and shoved me off him, "don't touch me!" He screamed. He pushed me so hard I fell on the floor and grazed my knee.

I felt tears forming in my eyes seeing rage in his eyes. I still wanted him to talk to me I tried to touch his hand he swiftly pulled his hand backwards, "stop talking to me. If everyone keep seeing us together, they are gonna keep mocking me. Just go away mum! Leave this school! Just go!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

I glanced again at the laughing faces of his friends and I felt quite bad seeing Joshua's face reddening in sadness. 

I motioned to him and spread my arms wide to him, "can I get a hug from you before I leave? Even if it will take one minute my love." 

Joshua glanced over his shoulder and he felt a prick of pain in his chest staring at his classmates chortling and making funny faces at him and he moved from me.

"Just leave mum you're already embarrassing me." His voice cracked.

I sniffed and walked away.

I stepped out of the school's gate and I stepped into the main road I felt the rays of the sun piercing my face, it was scorching hot. As I was crossing the road to head to my car, a portrayal of Joshua's cold stare flashed through my mind and I shivered as his words squeak in my mind, "Just go away mum! Leave this school! Just go!"

Images of him shoving me and me falling to the floor flashed through my mind in quick succession and also, his classmates chortling.

I suddenly felt a surge of drowsiness in my veins. I walked slowly like a turtle and tears wouldn't stop dribbling on my face.

Beep beep beep! A huge lorry blared its horn. It was boisterous it jerked me from my thoughts and I felt startled catching a glimpse of the vehicle approaching me, I panicked observing it moving on fast pace and I plopped to the floor on my knees as if pushed.

The front tyres of the lorry screeched audibly as it rolls swerving from me. I wrapped my hands on my ears as the screeching tyres thumped my earlobes. 

The lorry driver stormed out of his seat and he slammed the door.

"What's the problem with you lady?" His husky voice squeaked my ears, "you blind? Can't see?"
