It's Friday already! The Results will be out today. I couldn't sleep well last night thinking about what would occur today. I felt like staying behind and lied to my mom that I wasn't feeling too well but Ryan and his friend will see me as a loser. Would I be able to emerge in the first ten? How would I gain admission to another school if I failed this test? Another school wouldn't accept me and leaving the state isn't the best option. I've nobody out there! How would my mom feel if she found out that her only daughter stopped schooling just to maintain her pride? Would she wipe my ass or cut my tongue? She will surely be disappointed in me! I thoughtKiara Smith, what have you done? My heart was beating loudly as I stood up from my bed to dress for school. The discussion at the vice principal's office two days ago added to my anxiety. I picked up my backpack after I finished dressing and walked downstairs. I saw mom dishing food for my brother, Royce, who was fully dressed in his
I was in awe of the results I was glancing at, in the school mail. The noisy class became dampened at once. I rapidly picked up my phone that fell on the ground and scanned it again. No! It can't be real! I used my hand to rub my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly."You made it!" Laura screamed again as she rushed to give me a hug"I'm so happy for you" she added"How did she manage to top the whole class? That has been Ryan's position from his first day in this school" a student murmuredYes! I got the first position! Not even the top ten! It was amazing! I wasn't expecting that.Surprisingly, I scored forty-eight out of the fifty marks. Laura tailed after me and scored forty-six and the almighty Ryan? He scored forty-five while James scored forty."Thanks to you babe, you made it possible" I muttered as I clasped Laura again"Nope, it was because you are clever. Also, thanks to studying with you, I beat Ryan for the first time!" She beamed in joy"Didn't know she was this good, I
Ryan's pride wouldn't let him apologize. We were still on the matter when the door opened and he ran out of the toilet. I also walked out and saw Laura and James having arguments over the opened door. That was when it came to my notification that James opened the door for Ryan."Let him be, Laura," I said when I noticed the argument was getting heated"I've won over them anyways, and the whole school knows that" I muttered, then Laura stopped talking almost instantly"You think Ryan would let go of you after the humiliation? You are mistaken if you think he would. He will take his revenge! Just watch your back!" James ranted before leaving for where God knows"It was nice to have met you, I love who I'm becoming," Laura said, smiling at me and I also giggled in return.The rest of the day went smoothly and students seemed happy when they heard that the following week will be used for a sports competition."I can't wait for the sport competition. It's been a long that I swim" I giggled
"I'm Ryan, Kiara's boyfriend" he introduced himself, placing his hand across my neck"What!" Royce and mum exclaimed loudly. I quickly yanked myself away from him. I was very surprised. Is this part of his revenge? I thought"What do you mean you are Kiara's boyfriend," mum inquired to be sure of what she heard"I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I thought she wouldn't like it since we've pledged to each other not to tell anyone yet but I can't hide it anymore" he lied smoothly"Oh, my God!" My exclaimedOh my goodness! How on earth would someone lie so smoothly as if he was born to be a liar?"Mom! He is lying" I Protested"Babe, don't you think it's time to stop hiding our affairs?" He uttered, winking at me to Royce and mom's notice"Kiara!" Mom yelled"I swear mom, I'm not dating him" I tried to defend myself but my effort proved abortive"Didn't I tell you not to start a relationship till you are eighteen years of age?" Mum questioned"She is gonna be eighteen in a few
Ryan entered with his hands inside his pockets. He looked a bit stunned to see me there, guess he wasn't foreseeing me being there."Welcome Ryan, She will be your partner for the coming competition. I would be glad to see you guys working together to make our school proud. Also, you both would be staying for an extra one hour after the school activities starting tomorrow, so that the tutor would be able to teach you" the vice principal explained"How come she is my partner, what happened to Laura?" Ryan questioned"Laura has been the best female student so far, but Kiara has proven herself worthy of representing the school by topping the class in just concluded test" he repliedI was only looking at both of them. The only thing on my mind was the school competition in which the school had promised to sponsor me."You both can go back to your class if there are no more questions," he added while Ryan and I took our leave."I wonder what you offered the vice president to make him choos
I started hearing some faint voices. I didn't know where I was but the voice was surely more than one.Wait, don't tell me I'm already in heaven or on my path to heaven. I once heard Father Abraham preaching about heaven and talking about angels. Am I already there? Do the voices I'm hearing belong to the angles? I thought but my skepticism was verified awry when I heard what seemed like Laura's voice."Can you check her pulse? How is she fairing" she asked with a trembling voice" Her voice is low, Laura" another voice that sounded like Ryan's voice was heard"Let's rush her to the Infirmary" Laura screamed"I don't think she can make it to the Infirmary" Ryan uttered calmly"What? Oh no! Nothing must happen to her" Laura cried out"Stop crying, dummy! I think I have an idea" Ryan addedI felt a breath close to my face and Laura's voice came again"What are you planning to do? Do you wanna kiss her? How dare you take advantage of her, in this situation?" Laura yelled"Shit! Can't you
Today is the first day Ryan and I are gonna begin the extra lesson class in trial for the forthcoming inter-school competition. Also, it's two days until the sports competition but unfortunately, I'm not gonna partake with them, thanks to the silly Ryan. I got to know Elena has been transferred to another neighboring school after facing disciplinary action for what transpired between her and Ryan when I visited the Infirmary. Mr. Andrew was the tutor that the school assigned to us. I was conversing with Laura which made me lose time after school hours before rushing to Ryan's study. Yes! The extra lesson would take place in his study. I tried to protest when the vice principal informed me that Ryan cannot come to the ordinary class as he said.I rushed to his private study while holding a nose cover in hand. I was about to enter when I used the nose mask to cover my nose and mouth. Care to know why I did that? It was because Ryan complained about my mouth. Despite asking Laura who c
"What's going on here?" The vice principal asked as he entered the study room. My eyes widened and wanted to pop out of my face. I was startled and couldn't find a suitable word to utter. I became nervous when I noticed his gaze on me."Love in Tokyo" he mocked and I quickly jerked from Ryan's lap. There was only one thing that came to my mind at that moment, the ground should just open and swallow me."It's not what you are thinking sir" I finally managed to mutter when I found my voice."She mistakenly slipped and landed on Ryan's lap when responding to a question. She is innocent sir" Me Andrew lied smoothly to defend me. "Oh really?" The vice principal asked again"Yes sir," Mr. Andrew and I said at the same time."I thought as much because I've heard of her innocence" the vice principal retorted"Just wanna check on you guys and see how the class is going" he added"It's going well sir" Mr. Andrew replied" absolutely Well," I added. He nodded his head in satisfaction before vac
