Author POV
The alarm beeped, waking Charlotte up. She angrily turned it off and drifted back to sleep.
Few minutes later she felt something cold on her cheeks."Sleeping beauty. Wake up oh sorry I mean sleeping....ugly". That was Alexander's annoying voice.
"Can't I sleep in peace again?". She asked angrily.
"I give you twenty. Just twenty minutes Charlotte. When twenty minutes is over and you are not through dressing up then be ready to find your way to school and I mean every word". Alex's annoying voice came in. No doubt he was the one who rubbed ice on her cheeks. He lacks a lot of manners. Charlotte thought.
"Go away". She screamed and wrapped the cloth on her body to get more sleep.
"Okay then. See ya in school".
"Wait what!. You wanna leave me here? You are so mean".
"Get your lazy ass of that bed. Your time is counting already,you have eighteen minutes left". He left the room and Charlotte scoffed. She quickly folded her nightgown and neatly laid the bed. She tired dragged herself to the bathroom,did her business and came out.
"Oh my gee,I got just ten minutes more". She exclaimed wearing whatever comes her way. She did not even bother to check what she wore.
She came downstairs and saw Alex operating his phone. "You are a minute late". He said backing her and she scoffed.
"What the heck! What kinda combination are you putting on?". He laughed really hard till he fell off the couch. Charlotte looked at herself and also opened her mouth. She was wearing a purple gown with blue sandals,her hair was messed up. She still looks beautiful though but her dress code is really weird. He thought.
"The school must see this". He said intending to take pictures of her.
"You wouldn't dare Alex". She screamed and raced upstairs. She could hear Xander laughing really hard. She took blue trousers with a black baggy shirt and white sneakers and wore them hurriedly. She packed her hair in a messy bun,picked a white bag and raced back downstairs.
"You are so mean Alex". She uttered seeing he was already going. He looked back and stopped in his tracks. Damn! This girl is hot. He thought, still staring at her.
"Alex,Alex,hello". She called but no reply. She walked up to him and gave him a light knock on his head.
"Ouch!".He winced.
"Aww... I'm flattered. You are drooling at my beauty. I'm sure you will slump if I apply make-up". She fanned herself, smirking at him.
"Tch... beauty indeed. Let's get going".He left for the car.

They got to the school. They were almost late but his crazy fans in school were not many so he had it under control.
"Hi".
"Good morning Donald". Charlotte replied. She and Donald have been friends since the first week she resumed school.
"Morning beauty,let me guess you are wearing a grey baggy shirt right?". He asked and she sighed. Donald has an illness of the eyes. It's called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy ,it's a dangerous and potentially debilitating condition that occurs from a lack of sufficient blood flow to the tissue located in the front of the optic nerve.
"No"
"Well the doctor said as long as I'm using my medications,I might still be cured. Anyways, how was your night".He smiled, changing the topic.
"You know the answer, you jerk".
"I'm sorry"? Donald simply said.
"Will not forgive you". She replied, smirking. He was the reason she slept late yesternight.
"Well I must say this. It was nice watching you sleep though". He teased and Charlotte hit his arm playfully.
Students came in afterwards. The lecturers lectured and left.
The class president rushed inside the class gaining everyone's attention. "I have good news everyone". She stated and they all looked at her waiting to hear the good news.
"Mr. Micheal is getting married". She started and most of the guys scoffed.
"Gosh! Seriously?". Lucas the school bully asked.
"Tell me what's good news if that isn't good news". Alicia asked, facing Lucas.
"Well good news is when a lecturer files a divorce for his or her wife or two teachers fought openly in school. What do you guys think". They gave him a thumbs up. He is right while the ladies just chuckled. Alicia shook her head and headed for her seat.
A lady named Rachel quickly rushed out of the class and Jasmine followed. She met Mr. Micheal about to go into an office. "Mr. Mike". She shouted and he halted in his step."It's not true right. You are not getting married are you. Everything going on in the school is rumour right". She said with an uncomfortable smile.
"What do you mean Racheal? Of course I'm getting married". He replied.
"Mr Mike, how could you do this?. Don't you love me anymore? What happened to us?". She was now crying.
"Rachel we can talk this out". He tried to pull her into an empty class .
"Leave me the hell alone. Just leave". She screamed, gaining everyone in the corridor attention.
"So my instincts were right,I knew those two are up to something". Jasmine thought.
"This is what we've always told you lecturers. Avoid any relationship with any of our students in this institute, just hope this institution can handle the case without getting to court. I will arrange the panel tomorrow. I hope you have learnt your lesson". The chancellor said and dismissed him.
The news has gone wild in the school and everyone is talking about it.
"Do you think it can be true?" Charlotte wondered aloud when she was escorting him to the campus gate. "Well.. it might be true and it might not. It's not like that matter is new anyway, just that it is only paramount among the final year students plus Mr Mike looks like a perfect gentleman. My instincts tell me otherwise so Rachel might be lying".
"She can't make all that up. Her eyes were swollen when she entered the class. Besides, didn't you notice Mr Mike's behaviour towards Rachel recently is fishy?. She demanded hands at akimbo.
"Nope can you tell me?". He asked.
