"Do you want to try it", it echoed in my ears for the ten thousand time if I could count correctly, he looked at me with those confused eyes searching for answers, I tried to reprocess everything into my head, I looked down when he wasn't going to break the fixfate. " I know you would behave like this now I don't know what to believe anymore "he said trying to make me look up at him, but I was unwilling, " fine I'll give you some time to think about it, but you must tell me before it's dawn(6:50am).he said without missing words , he closed the door behind him after leaving.
I stood up, it was like I was dripped into a freezing water. I walked toward my room, I need a bath even if I had bathed before.i wore my night pyjamas, I laid on the bed unable to sleep, it looks like it came to soon I wasn't really expecting it, I don't know if I should be happy or sad, part of me was happy the other part was sad there were so many choices what do I do, "hey you I looked at my chest as I clunched the necklace he gave me. " why did you fall in love, part of me wants to do this, part doesn't. What should I do I asked myself.
Six months ago
Mom, I made it, I screamed as I jumped on her we both sheard tears of joy, we finally pulled away from the thight embrace. "GOD bless Mr leland
W
here ever he is" my mom said continuing raining blessings on him"who's Mr leland "i asked her, " my princess that's the name of the man who gave you the scholarship in "WINCHESTER "my mom said tears streaming down her face, I wipped her tears if only dad was here to see his princess on college, not just any college one of the most expensive college.
I was a little bit nervous about it but I don't want to be a failure to myself especially mom, she tried do hard for me till this stage, I don't know how else to thank her if not being successful.
I cleaned my tears as I held my dad's photo close to my heart. " dadi don't want to leave mom I don't want her to be alone, but I still want to make her proud. You remembered I promised to make my masters and take you round the world but you ain't here, I felt like I failed you and I don't want that to happen to mom"I said as my tears fell non stop. "I promise to be good and work hard" I said as my mom walked into my room.
"It's alright okay" she said patting my head, I laid my head on her laps-mom won't you miss me"I asked
"Yes princess I will but I can't stop your dream you know" she said and I nodded
"You just have to be good, be yourself, remember the kind of background you came from, read your books and most of all be careful with boys" did you here me she asked
"Yes ma'am" I replied, after giving me a full speech, she helped me arranged my bag and told me to go to sleep, she left after closing the door behind her, I sat upon the bed. "What kind of life is waiting for me in Winchester "I asked myself, I was trying to pick up some pieces when sleep came and took me to dreamland, I was so tired that I didn't know how long I slept.
NEXT DAY🌞
The rays of the sun were becoming visible in my head, I tried to fight it and get some more sleep but it was impossible, after about two long minutes of fighting I stood up rubbing sleep away from my eyes
" what day is it"I asked myself "it's Saturday and I had to go to school that day" my inner self told me, trying to process what I just heard "Saturday..... To... School.... " I did out loud, then all of a sudden like I picked it I opened my eyes "it's today"I shouted at myself. I climbed down my bed openingy door I meant my mom's face" good morning ma"I greeted,
"Good morning hon" she replied smiling "Mr leland sent you the details, he asked if he should come pick you up" my eyes widened "but I said no" she told me and I was relived,my mom knows me just too well.
"I already packed for you ain't you going to take your bath, so you can leave on time" she asked
"Yes but I haven't done my chores" I complained, "don't worry have already taken care of it" she said rubbing my hair, then she left.
I entered and closed the door behind me, I took of my clothes then I entered the bathroom I took a long shower scrubbing nervousness out of my body, then after a while I stepped out, I creamed my body then O started brushing my hair, "am totally gonna let it down" I did a center patting and then I brushed it down, now what to wear I said scanning for clothes I settled for checked shirt and ripped jeans and flats, after one last satisfied look i stepped out mom was already waiting for me, she smiled when she say me.
"You look beautiful" she said "moms stop" I said trying to hide the little blush on my face, "let's go" she gesture to me.
We took a cab and borded to the park after one last hug I entered the bus that would take me to school, I waved my mom goodbye until she was out of sight "be good" she sent "yes ma'am already miss you" I replied.
The ride to school was very smooth, I had to treck down to school gate cause cabs were not allowed in, I was stopped a good number of times checking and this and that when finally got to the check, I got the school map and was allowed in"WINCHESTER"was boldly written at the top of the gate that was hanging on a very Gangatic gate. Wow,was all I could say is this a school or a town what am I saying it's more beautiful than a town and it's really big, the owner of this school must be super wealthy, I thought that's when it drawn on me, I had to get to the admin office now where is it I asked no one in particular "there's the fountain" I said looking up now where's the admin office "I said totally confused this school is really big that I can't even read a common map" I need directions not this stupid map "I said out loud
" really"someone replied "whaft did I just answered myself" no"I got a reply now I think am going crazy because no one is actually paying attention to me I taught "hi"it came again,it turned to meet a really cute girl she had blue eyes long lashes, she had little makeup she was wearing a cute white crop top with pink design's on it she had a pair of jeans underneath and white sneakers.
She smiled at me, I guess she noticed I was checking her out" am so sorry" I said as I bowed my head,she smiled more causing me to make a little blush, I guess she likes smiling "am iris, nice to meet you" she said"iris",i can judge by her name "rainbow" that's why she likes smiling. "A... Am kyomi" I said with a li6 stammer.
"I guess you're new here" she said "yeah" I nodded I looked back and noticed some men in suits loitering around here. "They are my guards, dad wants them everywhere" she said with a cute pout. Wow she's really rich I said to myself "you're looking for the admin office right" she asked "yes but I can't figure this map out, it seems like it's written in CHINESE or something" I said and she laughed "I guess you should have really listened to geography classes she said and we burst out laughing. " I can take you there if you want "she said" uh thanks but ain't you busy"I asked "I was, but I don't think she's coming again" she said dumbfounded "you were waiting for someone" I asked "yeah" she replied with a sigh"let's go"she said as we walked down we talked laughed and joked a little, iris is really a fun person and she's free unlike other rich people "that's the place" she said when we came into a building, I walked I to the office, after series of questions the man gave me my class schedule and a card like a pass "house 224ab" is this where am staying sir"I asked "yes young lady now you may excuse me I have lots of things to do" he said.
I stepped out of the office, surprisely iris was still there she hijacked the card from me "house 224ab" she read out loud, she looked at me sceptically now am confused "what's your full name" she said
"Emm kyomi jollie scott"I replied a little bit nervous " you're jollie "she asked" yes"I replied "no way you're jollie" she said as she hugged me. Did she know me before "how's mom" she asked, I just couldn't reply "am really sorry about that" she apologized "am iris.... Iris leland" she said as my eyes widened in shock "you're iris leland" I asked totally confused, mom told me about Mr leland, she picked up her phone "dad she's here", she said with tears dripping down her eyes" yes I understand "she said as she dropped the call, she wipped her tears. " you're staying with me"she said. "Iris did something happened, did I hurt you am really sorry" I said really concerned "no it's nothing let's go, it's late already" she said as she took my hands, one of her guards took my Luggage while we walked down. I noticed a lot of people taking photos cof iris, wow I really admire her.
We entered her car as we drove off out of the school premises into another street it's like an estate we parked as we walked into the place am really scared I don't think I know here but I have to trust her since my mom knows her dad and there were houses around and some other people, I looked up and saw house 224ab so wait do they mine this is were students are suppose to stay wow so beautiful it's way bigger than our house, lots of students were taking pictures of iris I noticed her guards trying to push them away as they surrounded us....
