The Last Days At Reekfield's

"Oh.. Very true." Jane said. Just then, their alarm clock started ringing. It was seven thirty! The two stared at each other. The senior boarding house mistress would come to the dormitory in no time. Juliet quickly packed her hair into a ponytail and wore her shower cap. Soon, water started gushing out of the shower which hung just above her. She hurriedly washed up and soon, she was done. When she threw a glance at the direction of the bath, her best friend was no longer there."Oh!" She exclaimed, hurriedly mopping her body with her towel. She had to escape the senior boarding mistress at all costs. "Hey, let's get going." Jane said as Juliet walked into their room."You witch! I will deal with you. You dare not leave that door without me." Her friend swore.Jane laughed heartily. You were dreaming of who? Phillip? Jack? Jake? Jimmy? Which of them?" She asked, laughing."Look at you! I am still single. Because I was pictured with each of them doesn't mean that I am dating one of

"Oh, he has greatly recovered. He pledged to come for my visit mid winter." Juliet supplied."Wow... I can't wait to see him! I will be most excited." Jane said.While Juliet was always in the UK and rarely flew out, Jane was the near composite. She was based in the UK, but she always preferred to fly out during the holidays in between the school terms. She was a bit wild. Their parents both, were all super rich, and it is an entirely different story, if you are wondering how they first encountered and how their friendship kicked off.Presently, it was their turn. The two friends greeted the cooks politely and bowed low as they were taught to do on receiving their food, after which they proceeded to one of the free tables with two chairs that faced each other."What a waste! I can say that the authorities spend several thousands of pounds each day for our daily meals." Jane said, staring at the huge freshly baked bread and heap of fried eggs on her plate. Juliet shrugged, pouring a c

"Good morning beautiful students of Reekfield college." She spoke into the microphone.The thunderous reply form the students filled the hall. The freshers' voice stood out."You are all welcomed from the short holiday, and I am both elated and sorry to inform you of the sudden changes made at the board, resulting to me, emerging as the new President of the college. My predecessor, Mr Johnson Duke was needless to say, a hard-working man. I will follow his steps and leave the same legacy for my successor. Whatever good thing it is, that Mr Duke had done for the college in the past, be expecting it back in two folds. I don't joke with my words. I will deliver. And this is specifically for the last year students; I want Reekfield to claim all the top spots in this year's national colleges academic awards. For each price won, I am going to give out a cash prize of ten thousand pounds from my own personal funds. I want to hand out as much as half a million pounds. Let me see if you student

"What!" Juliet exclaimed, shifting in her desk. "You have had cancer?" She asked in shock."I didn't say so. You want to stigmatise me, don't you?" He asked quickly."Come on. Stop being such a boy! See, I need you to tell me the truth. Why are you hiding it? I used to sleep walk until we got to form three. I was ashamed of it, but every single girl in our form knew of it." She said.Jimmy was surprised at the 'news'. Yes, it was news for him. He smiled sheepishly. So she had also paid a price for her beauty?"You see? This is more reason why you and I should be together. You have paid a price for your beauty just as I have, for my handsomeness." He said.Juliet narrowed her eyes closely."You have had cancer, then?" She asked. But before he could answer, a group of girls boldly walked towards their table."Why, what's up with you four?" Juliet asked.One of the girls, Nora, stared at Juliet in shock."Julie! You of all girls? How could you be friends with such a liar like Jimmy?" Sh

"You must have said that to alot of girls. I am not surprised." Juliet said.Jimmy wanted to speak, but remained silent. The third floor of the complex was full of the college's staff. "I will go in." Juliet said and slipped into the arts master's office. She couldn't wait to tell Jane. Jimmy had asked to be her boyfriend! Was she dreaming or what? The very guy she had been crushing on for years, has finally popped the question."Good morning Madam, is the arts master in?" She said to one of the master's secretaries. The woman nodded and gestured Juliet to go in. Consciously, she opened the door and walked into the masters' office. The latter's back was turned to the door. He was executing a landscape painting on a broad canvas."Good morning sir. I didn't see you in the hall during the President's address. How was the holiday?" Juliet asked carefully.The arts master smiled and turned around. In his right hand, was a a paintbrush. He held a palette knife in the left one."Look at y
