History class was going on when news went round the whole school that the CEO of Ease Groups, Blaine Robert, was around. Actually, no one knew that Blaine was Mica's mum so they didn't understand what she was doing there.
Blaine had just returned from Japan on a business trip and hadn't seen her daughter for three years neither had she made a video chat with her. She wasn't that careless but she was trying to make money. Mica lived alone all those while in the house her mum built for her .
"Wow! She's so pretty . Is she not?" Jane said .
"Yeah . I wish she's my mum" . Amanda replied.
Mica was surprised to see her . She hated the fact that she came to her school unannounced so she pretended not to see her not until the school principal, Mr Henry sent for her.
" What! You mean Blaine Robert is Mica's mum? That's nonsense" Zaire said in surprise .
"They don't look alike at all . Then how come they're family ?" Kesia, an African girl whose English accent was nothing to write home about, said .
"I see. You mean my role model is my worst enemy's mum. I hate myself!" Jane shouted .
Blaine smiled at Mica as she walked into the office and said "you've grown more pretty girl. I miss you" as she hugged her .
"Why would you come here unannounced?" That was all what Mica could say.
"Surprise, my dear. Mum wanted to surprise you . Come here my Sweetie. "
Mr Henry looked at the both of them and also saw that something was off. " Just why would a mum have pretty eyes but daughter eyes are scary? I've never seen this in my life. " He thought.
"Well, I'm here to pick up my child as she won't be attending this school any longer " Blaine said raising an eyebrow as she stood up from the desk chair she sat on.
"What! I mean why? Mica is doing well in this school . Why the sudden change of mind?" Mr Henry said even though he didn't mean it.
"There're hooligans in this school and I don't like the fact that my daughter might adapt to this tough environment . I guess everyone in this school is scared of her but I'm telling you she isn't strong neither is she weak. All she has is red eyes, nothing else . I'm fed up, so, I'm taking her with me to London."
"She is the one to be blamed. She threatens other students that eyes are made of red crystals and they shouldn't let her kill them. That's rubbish . She behaves just like someone I don't want to talk about ." Raising his voice gradually, he replied as he adjust his tie that might have loosed.
"Oh My! They must have provoked her . She's just an ordinary child, nothing else. Her eyes are just red not made of crystals . She's a complete human being." Blaine lied .
As for Mica, she remained in the position she was without moving an inch looking at the two parties' lips as each of them and talked . She knew she had to become human but what she had to then to become human was to eat a 'corpse flower' which is one of the rarest thing on Earth. But she couldn't find it, if she found it, she wouldn't eat it because of its stench, if she ate it, she wouldn't be herself any longer.
It was a relief that she was been transferred out of the school. She liked it.
"Oh! I guess I will have a new beginning !" She whispered to herself smiling unconsciously.
"Fine, she would be transferred out of the school", he said in dismay as he hated the fact that he would lose a student from the school and the number of students would decrease by one. "We have no rights to ignore your request after all". He finally said.
As soon as the meeting with the principal was over, they left the school with immediate effect. Mica was gladdened as she thanked her mother.
"We're traveling to Indonesia to get the corpse flower. It's high time you become human" she said.
"Mum.... I love you. What's life without you?"
Mica's dad, being a monster, was made of corpse flower. And due to this, she was also made of corpse flower but it had been discovered that if she ate corpse flower, it would meet in contact with the corpse flower inside if her and vanish and she would become a complete human, as the corpse flower represented the non-human quality in her. She knew she had to do all her possible best to become human. Her dream was to become a writer but she never got anyone to read her posts because no one got to like her.
She wanted to give up writing and focus on her looks but she couldn't. It was already part of her. But, still, she had no ability to fulfill her dreams. No matter how much her mum had, she can never change that fact.
Then, she was going to Indonesia to look for the impossible that is said to be possible by a shaman.
******
She gained a lot of attention in Indonesia as people were surprised to see a young girl with scary red eyes.
She got admitted into one High school and she began to lead the life she thought she had to. Though, she hadn't been a complete human, but she felt secured than usual. Blaine took good care of her and made sure she lacked nothing.
****
Blaine tried to get a corpse flower, but Mica refused to eat it due to its stench — it was strong. She knew she would have no choice at last than to eat it, but she felt it was all a dream.
Have you ever wondered if Mica had a power? She never had. All she had was the monster's blood, corpse flower in the blood and red eyes made of red crystals. Because she had monster's blood in her, she never felt pity for anyone neither had she tried to play along with anyone.
" That's why she can never get a friend", one of her mates once said. Blaine should had resented her, but the corpse flower in Mica's monster's blood didn't alllow her. She had no other choice than to take care of her as she was her only child. She didn't get married as she doesn't want to love anyone else than Mica.

"How is the distribution going?" Blaine, wearing a collared shirt and nicer pants than jeans, said to Mr Callen, the head manager of Ease Groups.
"Well, presently, we're able to improve the online booking sites for this hotel, but some active customers complains that the online booking sites have unstable network and hence, lead to the inability for people to book rooms online". He said smiling.
"Since when had that been happening that you're informing me just now?" She replied, not in anger, not in dismay and not in confusion, but in something greater than those.
" I am so sorry about that. We were working on it in order for you not to be aware that such thing happened. I'm so sorry". He begged.
" Fine, as for the online booking sites, sign up with a hotel global distribution system that will be able to connect travel agents, online booking sites and services like airlines and car rental companies. In that way, it will facilitate instant bookings and reservations".
"Yes ma'am. But which Global Distribution system should we sign up?" In confusion, he asked.
"Sign up and link our inventory to a global distribution system like Amadeus. Once linked, customers can use the different portals associated with it to book rooms from us."
" Oh! Yes. I understand now." He replied nodding his head positively.
"You can get going ", she said looking straight into his eyes as her legs were crossed.
" Yes ma'am. Good day ma. " He left the office.
