Vivian's body had already adjusted to a lot of things, like sleeping early so she could wake by 5am so as to resume work by 8am. At first, it was difficult but with time, she got used to it.
The next morning came, Vivian opens her eyes slowly and notices Ella was laying right next to her, at the sight of her baby girl she smiles warmly and tickles her up. "Good morning sleepy head."
Ella yawns loudly, stretching for a while before replying to the greeting. "Good morning auntie."
Before, Ella would have called her Miss Vivian but as they got closer, she now refers to her as auntie.
"When did you come here?"
"I don't know, I just decided to come and check you and I found you here, then I decided to join you."
"Really?" Vivian asks and pats her head. "When I came in yesterday you were asleep, sleeping peacefully and I didn't want to disturb your beautiful sleep."
"I missed you so much yesterday, where did you go?"
"Huh?" Vivian asks shyly, she was quite embarrassed to tell her baby girl everything, and again she felt she was too young to know about things like that. "I went out with some of my friends."
"Okay." Ella yawns again.
Both got up to prepare for the day, Ella matched straight to her room, made the bed and cleaned her room, then straight to the kitchen and sitting room.
Alex did a great job in Ella's life before passing away, she thought her to be a very organized and smart lady. As young as she is, she could fend for herself to some extent.
Immediately after taking her bath and dressing up, she made some toast bread for herself and Vivian. Both settles and ate to their satisfaction. Ella wants to be sure if Vivian was going to be home early that day.
"Are you going somewhere today?"
"No." Vivian shakes her head as she enjoys her toast bread and fruit juice.
It was time for Ella to go to school, and she was happy, very happy. The thought of her going to learn, just makes her very excited. The toast bread Ella made earlier happens to be excess. Although, it was intentional. She packs it hurriedly with a some fruit juice too. It was obvious, she wants to give them to her friends in school.
Vivian was way smarter and older than Ella, she understood all her tricks, but decided to let her have a way. The young child seems very happy now, she deserves that.
Ella got to school happily and shared the toast bread and juice with her friends, they enjoyed it happily, other students could feel the heat, they were just doing a lot together. The people affected the most were Jessica and Emerens, though they pretended as if it was nothing to them but they really envied their friendship and especially the fact that Darifa wasn't their friend anymore, made them feel very bad.
Jessica won't let this feeling go away, as she decided to still try to teach Ella a lesson,despite all her failed attempts earlier.
Asma was coming back from the toilet, when Jessica and Emerens blocks her at the hallway, the place was quiet. Asma didn't fidget as she used to, she was no longer scared of them. Ever since Ella came into the picture, a lot of things changed, but at the same time didn't want to pick a fight.
"What do you guys want?" Asma asks bluntly.
"How are you doing?" Jessica asks.
"You seem brave now." Emerens adds.
"You people should change this your horrible pattern, why are you always talking first?" Asma asks facing Jessica directly. "Did you guys rehearse everything before coming to me?" She mocks.
"You little bitch-" Emerens cursed and tries to hit her but Jessica stops her.
"Really? Jessica you are now a changed person? How come you stopped her from hitting me?"
"I don't want to make trouble, I just have a Favour to ask." Jessica says calmly.
"Don't bother mentioning it." Asma says as she pushes them apart to make way for herself to head to the classroom.
Jessica allowed her take a few steps away before playing her cards. "Miss Aziza!"
At the mention of that name Asma pauses and looks back immediately, her legs were already trembling.
Jessica and Emerens looks at each then smiles, their card was played well. They moved closer to her.
"Should we tell the whole school that Miss Aziza was the reason your parents got divorced last year?" Jessica asks as she laughs.
They got her in her trap already, there was no where to run go for Asma. So she succumbs. " what do you want?"
"Good girl." Jessica laughs again. "Push Ella down the stairs."
"What? She could break an arm or a leg." Asma tries to convince.
"She isn't going to die right?" Jessica asks knowing well that could actually happen.
"The ball is in your court." Emerens says and left the scene with her partner.
This was a very strong Threat. Last year, Asma parents got divorced because of her father's constant cheating attitude with one particular woman, Miss Aziza.
Aziza is a teacher in Asma's school, she had a pretty face and nice body too. Maybe that was what her father fell for. The fact that Asma would see the woman that destroyed her home everyday saddens her a lot.
As a young child, she didn't tell anyone. As she felt that it could be used as a bully tool against her in the school, despite the fact that she come across Aziza everyday in school, she never showed any form of bitterness or strange attitude.
The problem was how did Jessica get to know? Asma did a good job of hiding the secret well, even from Abdullah.
