Chapter 7

• "What do you want?" I asked with so much anxiety.
• "Can we talk son?" He asked.
• I so hate it when he calls me son but doesn't treat me like one..
• "I am busy," I said.
• "Please, let's talk in my study," He said.
• "Be there in a minute," He added and walked away.
• "Arhhh!" I groaned and jumped on my bed.
• What exactly does he want with me anyway.
• I reluctantly stood up and dragged myself to his office, study or whatever he calls it.
• I knocked softly even though, I am not in the gentle mood.
• Mr Howard opened the door and ushered me in, I sat down on the couch in his huge study and he...
• "I'm gonna make this quick," He inhaled deeply.
• What does he want to say now..
• Talk already.
• "I want you to get married," He stared at me and I stared back confused.
• "I'll do that when I fall in love, not now," I said.
• "I already choose someone for you," He said.
• "Ooh, so you're gonna use me for a business proposition huh? Do I look stupid to you," I yelled and he just stared at me.
• "I say no, am not getting married," I said with final tone.
• "I wasn't asking," He said and stood up.
• "I wasn't telling you either," I said angrily and walked out, banging the door hard.
• He always seems to ruin my life..
• Why can't Katherine get married huh?
• He will just use the excuse that I am the eldest...
• I never even got to ask him who the girl was..
• I'm not gonna let anyone make a decision for me..
• I stumped out of the house, entered my car and drove off..
• The driver can rest for today..
• I need to cool down..
• FAST FORWARD ➡
• ♣Laura pov♣
• I woke up yawning and stretching like a cat, theorically speaking I'm just so tired.
• We all got ready for school, can you believe it.
• I'm just so excited.
• Let's just go to the school part really quick..
• I walked side by side with the girls into the school.
• It was expensive looking just like the orphanage.. I don't have any doubt that it's the orphans school..
• The uniform was really classic and cute. I was gladly wearing mine..with a pair of shoes that I couldn't stop looking at.
• "So what class are you going for?" Maddy asked.
• "I can go to any class I want for this week, just to see how it is, before I choose," I said.
• "I'm going to algebra class first," I said.
• "Cool, let's go," Tammy said and walked me to a class room as I waved to the others.
• "Here it is," She announced.
• "Don't get too intimidated by others, this is a mixed school, both orphans and non-orphans attend," She said and I nodded.
• "Here goes nothing," I muttered...
• It's my first time.
• "You'll be fine," She said as we stepped into the class and it was deadly silent.
• Everyone was staring at us...at me..
• Tammy dragged me to an empty seat, and sat close to me..
• "What are you all looking at?" She asked and they all faced their business.
• "Don't mind them, they do that always," She chuckled and I nodded.
• Immediately someone banged the desk and said, "Hey,what are you doing on my seat."
• I looked up and saw a three girls standing side by side and guess what?
• Racheal was among... Nah, it's just a joke..
• "Can you hear me? Scramble!" She yelled and all the attention was on us again.
• "Both of you," The one at her right said.
• Not wanting trouble, me and Tammy scrambled as we were told...
• "I am sorry, I caused that," She said.
• "No, you didn't," I said.
• "Yes I did, all the seats has our names except for some like this one," She said pointing to the desk I was sitting on.
• "So you have your seat?" I asked.
• "Just kidding," She giggled softly and I frowned.
• "Sorry," She laughed.
• "Let's just sit here," I said and she nodded.
• "I like here but that seat much better," She said pointing to that girls seat.
• "The brunette?" I asked.
• "Francesca," She said.
• "Ok, but I don't care," I said and she rolled her eyes.
• "She's the leader of their group, BBB girls," A girl beside Tammy said.
• "Oh hi, Nelly," Tammy waved.
• "How are you Tammy," She asked smiling.
• "I am cool, Nelly," Tammy smiled.
• "Laura meet Nelly, Nelly meet Laura," Tammy said.
• "Pleasure, you're new right?" She asked and I nodded.
• "Orphan or you know," She asked.
• "Orphan," I said lowly.
• "Me too," She smiled.
• "BBB Girls, what does it mean," I asked.
• "Brunette, blonde and Black girls," She said.
• "Huh," I asked.
• "Francesca is a brunette, Liliana is blonde while Dora is black haired," She said.
• "So let me get this straight, they named their group from the colour of their hair?" I asked and they both nodded.
• I looked forward, when I heard steps, I was probably expecting a teacher but I was Francisco....I mean Francesca and her friends.. I think.
• "I don't want for ever see you girls on my seat again," She said with blazing eyes and I nodded rapidly..
• "Good, now stay away from me," She said as they walked away..
• Okay, why do I always get a new enemy and a new friend always in the same day...
• A teacher with a big text book suddenly walked in...
• "Bring out your text books," He said..
• My first lesson, I am so excited...
