I wake up with the sound of my alarmed clock, went into my bathroom, take a shower, and dress up for school. I went downstairs, Dad and my brothers are already in the dining eating. I really wake up late today. Jim and James never wake up before me. "Today the early bird wake up late," said Jim. As I walk toward my seat in the dining table. "Do you like me to take out my ice cream inside of you this morning," I said to him. "Not this morning guys, the time is too early," said Dad. "Sorry dad," we both said. "How do you find your new school?" dad asked. "Good, I made friends and I also come across Eva Ellison," I said. "That good," Dad said. "Oh the wild girl of the Ellison, I see," James said. "What!?" I said. James is the overprotective brother type. "Nothing, I just don't like her," he said. "You don't like anyone James, anyway I'm leaving now, you all know that my school is far away and I don't want to be late," I said, As I get up. "Okay princess, have a great day and I love you," Dad said. "I love you more Dad and have a nice day annoying and protective brothers," I said as I make a funny face on my brothers to annoy them. I heard my Dad laughing in back as I made my way out of the house, the driver is already there, waiting for me. I entered and we left for school.
I reach school on time, I met Eva as the driver drops me in front of the school. She was also getting out of her car. "Hey miss perfect, how comes you are almost late for school, that doesn't sound like you," she said. "You don't know me too well, so you don't know how I am," I replied to her. "I know quite enough to know that you are an early bird," she said. "Okay, miss knows it all," I said. "Then let me know you if you say I don't," she said. "If you want to know me, you know what to do, you are a smart girl or I'm wrong," I said. "Okay, okay I got you to miss perfect," she said. I smile at the way she was acting, it was funny. "Okay miss knows all, my stop is here, I have Biology to go to," I said as we reach the Biology lab. "I see you also, have had a nickname for me, anyway see you later babe," she said in a flirting way. "Who is your babe?" I asked. She just smiles and walks away without answering me. This girl is something else, I said in my mind as I walk into the lab.
I take a seat by Alex and Vicky. The teacher enters after some minute the bell rings. "Good morning everyone, today you will know your partner for the project at the end of the class," he said as he starts settling down to start teaching. He introduced the topic and start talking about it and so on and on. He asks questions and continued. After hours, he stops and starts calling everyone's partner. "Alexandra and Victoria, Yolanda, and Selena," he called out. Alex and Vicky were happy they were partners and when they heard that my partner was Selena, they were like someone who heard a bad news. "What!?" I asked them. "she is not a good news," said Alex. "She hates biology, so be ready to do everything by yourself," said, Vicky.
After class ended, as I was packing my books to leave. I heard someone said hey, but my head was down the table watching for my pen. "Are you looking for this," the person said again. I rise my head up to see who it was, she was holding my pen toward me. "thanks," I said. "I am Selena your partner for a biology project," she said. "I know, and I guess you already know my name," I replied. "I will like to hear it from you," she said. "Okay, my name is Yolanda," I said. "Hey miss perfect" I heard someone said by the door, it only means one person, Eva. "Hey wild one," I said. "Oh, another nickname, I am flattered," she said. "Last time I checked you were the one given me a nicknames, and Don't get fool of yourself," I said to her. she notices someone was by my side. "Oh Selena, what's up?" she said to her. "Eva," she replied to her and walked past us towards the door. "What was that," I asked Eva. "Nothing, you know two queens can't be in the same room at the same time," she said. "Hmm okay wild one," I said. "Anyway, I am here to take you to lunch," she said. "Last time I check, I know my way to lunch and I don't need a bodyguard around me," I said. "You are the one that told me early that I don't know you, so I'm getting to know my babe," she said. "Uh, you are so full of yourself wild one," I said. We walk to lunch, Eva being Eva flite with me till we reach where Alex and Vicky were seating. "Hey guys," I said as I seat by Vicky. "What does Selena want? I saw her talking to you after class," asked Alex. "Nothing much it just about the project," I said. "Okay," She replied. We eat and Eva was still being Eva.
Lunch over and my next class was Literature, Alex and Vicky are not in the same literature class as me. Because of my high grades in literature in my previous school, I'm in the advanced class. The teacher walking in and started introducing the new book that we are going to start, It one of my favorite book by Oliver Goldsmith, She stoops to conquer. It a comedy but I find it as a romantic comedy because most of the character stoops to conquer their love. Someone shout the classroom door so loud, that caught everyone's attention. "Selena, why are you late?" said the teacher, "sorry Miss. I had a disturbing stomach earlier," said Selena. "It okay, find a seat" said the teacher. The class was already full, there is only an empty seat by me. she seat by the left side, as the teacher continues were she stop. I was kinda surprised to see Selena in advance literature, the rumors I heard about her don't portray her as the smart type. I guess you can't judge someone by rumors. I never like this book, I heard someone said by the right side, by me. "shout up Iver, I wonder why you are in advance literature sometimes", said Selena who was by my left side. "Yeah, I also wonder why you are my best friend sometimes because you never got my back," said Iver. "Yes, because we don't like the same things and best friend should tell each other the truth when one is not acting right," said Selena. "Okay, guys please cut it out before the teacher hear you and Iver, this book is a great one. If you don't like it doesn't mean everyone should hate it", I said. Surprisingly at myself. I am not the outspoken type. "Who asked you a new girl, just stay out of it," said Iver. "Stop being rude Iver, she doesn't mean any harm," said Selena. "Selena, Iver, and Yolanda, detention after school," we heard the teacher said.
The three of us just stay quiet until the end of the class. I never had a detention before, don't know what Dad will say if he knows. Yolanda detention in just her second day in a new school, that so not me.
Class ended and school is also over but I have stayed for detention, just great. The three of Us seat separately. I pull out my Biology book trying to do some work in the project, they give us. I was busy in my book when someone stands in front of me, I raise my head up to see who is it. ,"Hey," said Selena. She was the one standing in front of me. "Hi," I said. She takes a seat by my side. "yo have started the project already, you must be one kind of a nerd," said Selena. "I just like to do things before hand, so I will not rush when time is almost up," I said. "I can see you are the organized type," said Selena. I just smile. "Okay, you know you are not the only one in this project right?" Said Selena. "Yeah," I replied. "So what is my own work or how can I help ?" she asked. I show her what to do and we started working together. Selena is now making me think everything through about what they said about her.
"You know I hate Biology, but you made it so much fun that I am having a doubt about why I hate it in the first place," Selena said. "I know, that why I am also surprises to see you so energetic in the work and Biology is not that bad as you think," I said. "I might rethink everything again," she said laughing. We were laughing and doing the work, when Iver, seat by us quietly. "Sorry new girl, I did not mean to be rude earlier," Iver said. "her name is not a new girl but Yolanda" replied Selena.
Selena looks annoyed. "It okay and sorry also it was rude of me to intervene," I said to Iver. "Sorry, Selena, I'm really sorry," Iver said to Selena. "It okay, if you have something bothering you, try and control your emotion and I'm also sorry. I should have known that something is bothering you, you always acted up like that whenever you have something in your mind," Selena said. "Okay, I promise to control my emotion," Iver said. "Iver your name is kind of strange," I said. "Yeah, I get that so many times, it usually a Scottish boy name," she said laughing. "Her mom is one crazy cool type, she gave her that name," said Selena. Iver laugh, "I will tell my mom not to make you her cookies that you love so much," Iver said. "Don't please, her cookies are to die for, and do you know that why I always visit you, for your mom's homemade cookies," said Selena. "Oh is that so, then I will tell my mom," said Iver laughing. "You know I love you so much punchy" said, Selena. "I love you more monkey face," said Iver. "You guys look so funny when you are trying to annoy each other," I said. This is how we are, we love annoying each other," said Selena.
We continued the project and Iver also help us. I got to know Selena and Iver more, they are nothing like what people said about them. Detention end, we walked together to the car park.
"I got so much fun today," I said. "We should do this sometimes, I don't mean we should get detention again," Iver said. and we all burst out in laughter. "Yeah we should, Yolanda can I have your number, for the project we have to finish and maybe we can go out sometime the three of us," said Selena. "Sure," I replied as the three of us exchange contacts. We reach the car park, the driver was already there. We said goodbye. Iver and Selena entered the same car it was a blue BMW x5 and Selena was the one driving, I guess it her own car. They drive off, and I walked toward the car where the driver was waiting for me. I entered and he drives out of the school compound. "Miss, I got worried and call your Dad, when I did not saw you come out after school," the driver said. "Sorry, I worry you, I forget to text you that I got detention," I said. "I know, your Dad told me. "I think he called the school and asked," the driver said. Great now Dad knew about my detention. "Are you going to pass by the ice cream store miss?" the driver asked. "No, I'm going straight home," I replied.
We reach home after a long drive,. I was very tired, walked straight up to my room. I took a shower, dress up, and try to look over my school works when I heard someone knocked on my door. "who is it?" I asked. "me madam, food is ready and your Dad is home and will like to see in his studies," the cook replied. I leave what I was doing and go downstairs to see Dad, on my way to Dad studies, I came across my playful twin brothers. "Hey, Miss perfect we heard you got detention today," said, Jim. I ignored him and continued my way to Dad's studies. "Hey little one, sorry about Jim, you know he sometimes annoying," said James causing me to stop. "What happens because is so unlikely you to have detention on your second the day of school, is that Ellison girl that causes it isn't it?" he asked.No James, you really don't like Eva, She is not like what you think of her," I said. "Oh I don't care and I don't like her being your friend," he said. "okay protective one, don't worry I'm older than Eva and I know how to take care of myself," I said. "Okay, then how do you get detention?" He asked again. "I was caught talking with three other girls, in advance literature," I said. "Okay, but please don't do that again, you are not the type that got detention," he said. "Okay, it won't happen again," I said. "Okay, come here little one," he said requesting a hug. "I am not little" I said, hugging him. "I love you, princess", he said. "I love you too," I replied. Okay now go where Dad is calling you," he said break the hug and walked down to Dad's studies.
I knocked on the door. "Come in princess," I heard Dad said through the door. I open and walked in. "you sent for me Dad," I said. "No greeting for me today," he said. "Sorry Dad, good evening, how was your day?" I asked. "It okay, my day was good," he said.
"It was Jim that annoyed me early and I was still annoyed, sorry again," I said. "It fine princess, you know your brother now, just ignored him, and how was your day?" Dad said. "It was good," I said. "Really because I heard you got detention, I thought you had a bad day," he said. "No, not really, I was caught talking with two other girls, actually, we had a misunderstanding and started arguing," I said. "What happens?" Dad asked. "Nothing really just girls stuff," I said. "Wow, my princess is now having girls stuff, this means I did the right thing by changing your school," Dad said laughing. "Stop it, Dad," I said laughing. "and detention, girl you are all grown up," said Dad still making fun of me. "stop it Dad, here I am think that you are mad about me getting detention but technically you are not," I said. "I am not mad at you princess but don't try and get another detention again," Dad said. "Okay I will not and I actually got fun during detention with the two girls," I said. Really, then tell me all about it, he said. I explained everything that happens during detention. We seat there talking for hours, Dad even asked the cook to bring our food in his studies. We eat, talked, and made fun.
"It already late princess, don't you have school work and you also have to wake up early for school," Dad said. "I already finish all my assignments and yes I don't want to get late like tomorrow," I said getting up to live. "Okay princess, goodnight," Dad said while hugging me and give me a kiss on my forehead. "Goodnight Dad and don't stay up too late, I love you," I said as I was almost by the door out of his studies. "I will not princess and I love you more," he said.
I know, he will stay up late. I walked up to my bedroom, take a shower, changed into my nightgown, set my alarm clock, and lay down on my sweet, soft bed. I didn't know how I fall asleep
