Chapter 2 - College

"April, April!" I heard someone screaming my name. I opened my eyes slowly but I was sore, I must have slept in the same position throughout the night. " April!" oh it was Martha, our maid, " good morning" I said rubbing my eyes. " Morning, April do you know what time it is?" oh please not this it was too early for her nagging. " I know its late but isn't today Sunday?" I said yawning, Martha hit her forehead and then frowned "no it's not you silly girl, that was yesterday. Today's Monday and that means...". "college!" I said realizing I was going to be late and rushed out of bed, "that's better, I'll leave your clothes on the bed and breakfast would be ready before you get downstairs" Martha said and hurried out of the room. After my bath, I looked at the clothes Martha picked out for me. A blue skirt, white shirt and a blue jacket, not the demon's colour but not bad either. I walked down stairs and found my grandma seated on the sofa and my breakfast at the dinning room. Making a quick decision between the two, I went to my grandma. "morning grandma" I said hugging her from behind where she was seated on the sofa. "morning April, had a good sleep" she asked, " hmm" I nodded. "aren't you running late for college?" she asked while stroking my hair. I had a really long hair but I didn't want to cut it, I loved it this way perhaps girls envied my hair. "I know, I overslept" I said having my scrambled eggs with some toast. " bye, grandma" I said picking my bag and car keys." hold on darling, come here" she said," grandma I'm running late" . "I know" she chuckled and said" I want you to promise me you won't be reckless with your powers today" . " Then can I be tomorrow?" I joked then she gave me a stern look of being serious " I promise, alright". " good girl, bye and be good" she as I left, why was she telling me to be good when she already called me a good girl. I knew that I was being a bit reckless as I drove to college but whenever the cops got me all I had to do was to give them a smile and a compliment and they let me go, my beauty gave me an advantage. I drove into the school gate when I found Riya, she was my best friend and she had gone on vacation for a few weeks so I was glad to see her since I already missed her. "Riya, I've missed you" I said as I locked my car and went to hug." I've missed you too April and you haven't changed a bit " she said while hugging me as well, " why would I? it was only a few weeks but as for you, I can see that your vacation had an effect on you" I said but I didn't think Riya got what I was impling " I mean you're glowing" I said trying to make her understand what I meant. " awh, thank you. Come on let's go" she said as we both went to class."morning, Mrs Jones" I said as I met one of my professors on my way to class, " morning, April oh hello Riya"she said with a beautiful smile. " hi, Mrs Jones you look stunning today "Riya said , she was right but Mrs Jones was a beauty she had brown hair which she put in a bun but had a few strands in the front an the blue dress she wore complimented her vivid blue eyes. "thank you" she told Riya, "ma I assume you are heading to our class"I said referring to Riya and I. " yes, I am" she said " then let me help you with your books" I said as I took the books from her while Riya helped me." thank you" she said as she walked ahead of us . Gosh these books were heavy ignoring my demon strength, "you should really stop helping people, how does she carry all these books" Riya said and I chuckled at her thoughts. Reading minds was also something I could do and right now Riya was cursing herself for carrying the books. when we got to class, Riya was quick to keep the books on the desk and sighed then she said" these are really heavy" I smiled at her as I kept the books and sat down. " hi April" Chris who I sat next to said to me, "hi" I said making myself comfortable on the seat. Chris was a nice guy, he was smart and cute but also competitive but I was the top in class, can't deny the reason I got a business contract right after my high school on my first presentation. I was studying software engineering and Mrs Jones taught us how to hack into a a person's computer and retrieve information from it. After her lesson, we had one more class and then Riya and I went to a cafe after college.
