The next day
Cherry made it know to her parents.
She wants to go to high school where she gets to explore all high school has to offer. She needs her parents to let her experience the adventures her friends talked about.
Mum and Dad, I need you guys to let me go....my friends told me about their adventure at high school and that there's lots of things and fun to explore at school. Please please please let me go. I promise I will do anything you tell to let me go to school. Mum said to her, dear we both love you and want the best for you. Dad intervenes we do love you Cherry. Are you sure that's what you want. Cherry in reply says yes immediately dad asked. Yes dad she says again.
Dad said okay, I will get your documents prepared for registration tommorow at a high school. Now go watch movies dear. I want to talk to your mum. Cherry excitedly, left excusing mum and dad.
Phone rings. Cherry picks up the call. Smiled and greeted stylishly and said how are you Emma, you can't believe it! she says. Emma answered what's it tell me Cherry.
Cherry paused not saying anything and this baffled Emma. Then cherry decided to break the silence by saying I'm going to High school tomorrow Emma. The both shouted excited and Emma said this is great news. I would love to see you explore High school. The interesting dance classes, the teachers and the hostel's. Cherry said in reply, I will and even more. The both laughed and Emma told cherry she is at her last year in highschool. So she should hurry up so she won't be left behind. Cherry said, stop and Emma replied why, The both said to each other at the same time You Naughty girl and the both laughed. Alright Cherry goodnight. Cherry too said good night, sleep tight.
Cherry is dressed up already, she carried her logage downstairs as Dad told her to do so ahead, she was excited to go to school. She hugged Mum and Dad and peaked each of them on their cheeks and said. Mum, Dad good morning. How was your night the asked. It was the best she answered. I'm finally going to High school. Dad says hurray, my sweetheart I'm happy to hear you are happy to be going for High school.
You should start going mum said, and Dad carried the logage while mum helped Cherry off to dad's car. Dad locks the doors and off they went.
The principal, Hi, I'm principal George Wallace.
How may I help you he asked Dad. Dad says I'm Mr David. I would love to register my daughter Cherry David to you school. The principal says you are both welcome. We would love to have you with us studying soon Cherry he says turning to her. She says in reply. A pleasure it is going to be dear. I would love to be here soon to. Dad talked to the principal on the reasons why he wanted to register me immediately into school and what he needs for his daughter. The principal in reply said. We are up to the task Mr David. As long as your daughter is here studying at our school, you have nothing to worry about. Dad signs a filled a form and signed up immediately and the Principal called the reception to send in a staff to come pick Cherry up. Dad gave Cherry some money and told her to use to buy whatever she's in need of. He said she should remember that she is all He and mum has. She's their only daughter, so she should make sure to call them whenever she needs to talk to them. He then hugged and left.
What's your name the staff asked. My name is Cherry she answered. I am Miss Jenny. I'm a teacher here. I teach the music classes. She stopped and asked Cherry to pause, She showed to her a locker and said, this is your locker, you can store you text books here. Then she opened it and gave the lockers remote to her. This is the remote you use to open it she says. They both continued their journey and they soon got to a classrooms door. Miss Jenny opened and called out to the Teacher. She came over and said hi. Cherry said good day mam. Miss Jenny then said to the teacher Mrs Smith. Saying here's Cherry, she's new here. Please would you mind taking her to the class room and giving her a sit Miss Jenny says. I would love to Mrs Smith says, Cherry, that's your name she says facing me. I answered Yes ma. She asked me to come in and I did. I became nervous when I saw the other Students. They were all like I. All teenagers, both boys and girls. Mrs Smith says class I want you to meet Cherry. They all said hi. She then introduce them all to me. A boy Fred, which Mrs Smith introduced me to. He made my heart skip, I was lost when he shaked my hand and said hi. I'm Fred, feel free to ask me anything you don't know about. I would be happy to help. I Starmerred saying O....O....Okay Fred.
I was given a sit and the lesson continued. I stared at Fred and felt lost. He was out of these words. I've never seen A boy as handsome as he is. I never felt like this before. His eye brows, his pointy nose, his hair style and voice. They touched my heart. I then remember Emma once telling me about love.
Have I falling in Love like Emma said I would, cherry asked herself. She said so in her head and kept staring at Fred. He is so handsome she says. Fair in complexion and athletic body. He's the parfect guy Emma told me high school life may offer. I'm in love she says.
The bell rang. It's time for a break Mrs Smith says. Fred walked up to Cherry and says, I noticed you staring at me. Cherry was marveld, she didn't know what to say. She said I'm sorry, I didn't know you Noticed. Fred said, come on many girls do same. He said what's your name again. I said cherry. And he said you're a beauty. You look very beautiful. Cherry became confused and she asked, are you talking to me. I'm I the one. Fred answered Yes. Cherry I'm telling it to you. Cherry filled with surprise said. You're handsome too Fred. Fred asked her, would you like taking a walk to the Eatery.
Cherry couldn't turn down the offer and said yeah. So Fred told her about the school and how he came. That he never met a girl like her, she acts mature and simple. And her beauty made him lost at first sight. Cherry said in her head " Did he also feel what I felt. Is he in love with me or I'm I just overthinking his offer to take a walk"
Hey you someone called. Fred who is this, Annabelle, stay out of this please. Annabelle asked, what's your name girl. Cherry answered, I'm Cherry. Annabelle laughed and said to her friends who were with her. Her name is Cherry and they all laughed. What a hilarious name. Fred said Annabelle stop!
And she said to Fred, please tell me you love me back Fred, I can't see you with another girl. I can give you all you want please just say you love me and forget about the other girls. I'm the most beautiful girl in school, my dad is the governor of the state. He can give you all you need. Your family will be famous Freddy. Please just say you love me. I just need you to say you do. Fred said Annabelle, you're a spoilt brat, daddy's little spoilt girl, that's what you are. Cherry never really minded their discussion and ordered for launch at the Eatery. The waiter gave it to her and when she decided to pay, someone held her hands and she turned to only to see Fred, and Annabelle standing with her friends behind him. He said Cherry let me, Cherry trying to reject the offer. Fred said I asked to walk you to the Eatery so let me. He brought out some money and paid the waiter. Annabelle began by saying, Fred is it because of this girl you don't look at me. And you don't even love me. She went up to Cherry and says, I can't let you have him. I will do everything to make Fred mine. And no one can stop me. Then she took the launch from Cherry's hands and threw them on the floor and began to laugh. Her friends join her and they all laughed. Fred asked Annabelle why she did that and she said, as long as I don't have you, no one can. Cherry burst out into tears asking herself if she had bad to Annabelle before. And this was her first day at school. Fred was cuddling and asking her to forget what happened. He said Annabelle was a spoilt girl so she tends to make everyone's day bad. Please let it go he said.
Unknown to Cherry, the journey to the line in between life and love is just beginning.
