Chapter 11 - Promoted

"Good thing King is not in the group" Theo sent a private text to Asher who laughed before replying. "yeah or we would have witnessed world war 4" Asher laughed loud attracting the attention of King who was upset already. He glanced at his phone to see what was making him laugh only for Asher to turn it off immediately.

King frowned at this before muttering under his breath "such a nuisance "

"How can she comfortably sit with two guys?" He voiced out his thoughts. "dude, it doesn't concern you now, does it?" Theo adjusted his eye glasses. King ignored him before saying "...and that Cyrus dude! Good thing he's not in the same class as us"

"uhh actually, he is" Asher said after stuffing his mouth meat balls.

"he what?" King slammed his hand on the table making everyone turn to look at him.

"why are you worked up over it anyway? Not that you have feelings for her, or do you?" Asher asked causing King to choke on his saliva.

"what??? Me? That elf?? No way??? She's soo not my type!" he retorted

"Then why are you...." Theo got interrupted by King "...that's because I pity the guys she hangs out with!...am not talking about this anymore....am out!" King said and grumpily stood up.

Back in class

As the fifth lecture for the day was going on, the speaker in all the classes of the school blared noisily. Soon after the H.O.S.O aka head of school operations- voice could be heard.

"Attention, all students of Swiss Royal! As you are aware, some of you were given the opportunity to write an unusual exam some couple of months ago. Now, I'll announce the purpose of that exam .... it is a rare promotional exam that the school agreed upon for the good of the students. Though the exams we're funny, they we're toxic at the same time and am sure you can agree with me on that fact...." he paused.

The students murmured

"I'll drop the bomb now, the result is out and it will be displayed in your classes now through the projectors. Congratulations to the successful students!!"

Screeeee!! The speaker made a brief noise before becoming silent.

The projectors in all classes automatically got turned on as names of students appeared on the White space. Cyrus stared keenly at it hoping to find a name. Slowly, the names of the students and their new classrooms was displayed in Alphabetical order. From A to Z. Many cheered, many broke down in tears. As soon as it got to D, Aspen became super excited.

" ....Damien Coby to form 4"

"...Davin Stewart to form 3"

"...Dawson Aspen to form 6"

Aspen leaped for joy. She got promoted! To her best friend's class! She was extremely happy and so was Cyrus and Skylar... They gave each other high five and went out of their class to fetch her.

Only three students were promote to form 6, Dawson Aspen, Willford Oasis and Maverick Joshua.

The whole school was in uproar!

The students of form 5 were down as they had similar thoughts running in their head "who'd help us with the debate now?"

As soon as Cyrus and Skylar saw Aspen they hugged her a cheered her while promising to get her heaven and earth. King witnessed this but remained passive.

At home

"bro Finn! Poppie passed the examination!!" Skylar said as soon as he got to the living room.

"Yeah I know right? My kid sister is brilliant!" he said proudly like a father as he affectionately hugged his sister an rubbed her hair.

'She could have just asked me to transfer her instead of suggesting that stupid exam to the board he thought.

"Sky!!! You're such a kill joy! I wanted to tell him myself you Nugget!!" Aspen screeched as she prepared to ponce on him before her brother pulled her back.

"I didn't hear what he said....can you tell me what he was saying?" Finn asked while trying to pet his little sister who harrumphed childishly.

"I passed the exam" she deadpanned making him chuckle. "wow am so happy for my baby sister! Always making me proud!" Finn said as he tried to tickle the angry lady who was not budging at all. "come on now! Don't make me feel useless " Finn sighed.

"bro Finn, shouldn't you be at the company now? At least you should be back in the evening" Skylar said as he headed for the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.

"How should I be in the office when my sister just passed her exam" facing the Aspen who had puffed her cheeks, he said "for your reward, you remember I promised you the latest edition of game sets?" Finn asked as Aspen looked at him reluctantly while trying to keep her expressionless face "yeah?"

"Hmm hmmm"

"Well.....it'll be arriving tomorrow!" Finn said making Aspen squeal in excitement.

"Thank you so much bro!! You're the best!!!" she hugged him and tried to lift him up but couldn't making both Finn and Skylar laugh. "I thought you were mad at him" Skylar chuckled earning a mocking gaze from her "oh please, how can I be mad at my brother that spoils me so much!"

"can you please stop trying to make me feel bad Cause Jenna doesn't spoil me!" he whined before adding "....not like I need to be spoilt anyway" Aspen giggled.

After they had talked for a while, Aspen went to her room.

"What a day"

She hung her bag on the bag stand and hopped to the walk in closet. She slowly undressed, leaving her undergarments. "to the bathroom!"

Aspen sang along to a song while she was soaked in the bath tub. After spending sometime minutes in the bathroom, she stood in from of the rowel rack as she contemplated in what to wear.

"Towel or bath robe"

"bath robe?.....nah"

"Towel?....hmmmm....nah!"

"Bathrobe looks good on me, so...nope!"

*for heaven's sake just pick one and get me out of here!!!!" her conscience screamed at her before she finally settled with the towel.

Coming out of the bathroom, she walked straight to the vanity table and was about to cream herself before she saw the reflection of Sky, from her mirror!

"you! Hooligan!!!" you yelled as she tightened her grip on her towel making Skylar laugh. "nothing I haven't seen poppie" he said with a smirk. At that moment, she thought his voice sounded like King.

"what???? Get out of my head!!!" Aspen yelled

Skylar:"...." Young lady am outside your head and near your bed, what are you saying?

"anyway, bro said you should hurry up and come down...wants to show you somethings related to your game set." He paused. "oh and please, always lock your door from inside!" he said and walked out while whistling.

"You.....! It was locked you scoundrel!!!" she yelled at him before running to lock the door.

"Good thing it wasn't King!!! I would have torn his gorgeous off his body!!!"

"Did I just call his face gorgeous? What am I turning to??" she yelled as she tugged at her hair before running to dress up with a curse in her mind. 'd*mn you King!'

Downstairs

"So, this is it! Your new game set!!" Finn announced as he showed her some pictures of game sets "they've been working on it for some months now" he added.

"Bro Finn!!! Its dope!!" Aspen exclaimed as she hugged the tablet like it was a treasure.

"Do you want to change anything?" he asked to which Aspen shook her head signifying that it's perfect.

"can't wait to handle my baby!!" she squealed in excitement.

"oh and one more thing, they're coming." Finn said making Aspen to stop like she was being controlled. The smile on her face froze as she faced Skylar.

"THEY'RE COMING?????"

AR: NOTE ; SKYLAR IS IN THE ART DEPARTMENT OF FORM 6 LIKEWISE THEO. KING IS IN THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT OF FORM 6 ALONG WITH ASHER. SO ASPEN IS BEING PROMOTED TO THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF FORM 6 WHICH IS FEW CLASSES AWAY FROM SKY'S CLASS AND ALSO THE SAME CLASS AS CYRUS.
