Days went by and my mom had already started the new business she talked about, I was really surprised at the pace she was taking to build up the business.
With the incident with Brianny momentarily forgotten, I looked forward to each day and loved my time at work. I hanged out with Cassandra most times after work and during lunch, she was such a good soul to be with, inspite of our age difference.
She was twenty seven and I was nineteen.
I was at Principal Wilson's office to report an issue concerning a student when the door was slightly pushed open causing me to tilt my head towards it.
Principal Wilson frowned, obviously displeased at whoever it was for failing to knock, light clicks of heels on the tiled floor could be heard as a girl stepped in looking like a stunning fashion model straight out of a magazine cover.
She wore a black short dress that accentuated her toned legs and flawless physique. The dress clung tightly to her body like it was their only survival source, showcasing her petite waist and elegant shoulders, she stood with a confident pose at the door as she smiled at Mr Wilson
"Hello Mr Wilson!" She said in a sultry voice as she moved to sit on the table Infront of him, blocking my view and totally ignoring my existence like I wasn't even there. Principal Wilson didn't look very pleased with her action but he kept quiet.
"Excuse me.. but we are not done here, you can come back later" I said to her and she gave me a side eye and continued to ignore me
"It's been a long time since we saw each other last" she said with same unbelievably alluring voice to Mr Wilson
"Didn't you hear me?" I was irritated now
"I mean you should know to have some manners, you can't just barge in here and disrupt a meeting that was going on before you came" I stood up and folded my arms looking straight at her
"You need to leave!"
She looked at me like I was spilling jargon and eyed me from head to toe, I knew I wasn't dressed and looking as classy as she was but I wasn't looking like a poor begger either, so I stood my ground and didn't waver in front of her.
"Who is this?" She asked Mr Wilson.
He took a breath and finally stood up "Eula why are you here?"
"Why are my here?! To see you obviously!"
"Principal Wilson is she your girlfriend or something? Tell her to leave! We've got matters to treat here"
"You can go see her later" I wasn't exactly in the mood for all this drama and I wanted to finalize decisions with Mr Wilson as soon as possible so I could leave.
"Mr Wilson who is she? And why would she talk to me like that?" Her tone was a little high pitched
"Eula I asked why exactly you are here" Mr Wilson questioned her again
"Well, I'm not only here alone to see you but I also came with company" she rolled her eyes and just then someone stepped in
"Hey Dad!"
Rick..?? I mentally facepalmed, why was he here now? And just when I thought I've seen enough of obnoxious people today, Brianny looking like a red nightmare dressed in all red, walked in and hooked her arms around Rick.
"Babe you could have just waited for me, my heels got stuck" she whinned and Rick hugged her closer to him.
"I'm sorry, I just had to step in real quick"
Just why was I seeing this set of people right now? Why was I seeing Brianny again??
"Principal Wilson, what is going on here?" I asked him in confusion and he shook his head negatively indicating he didn't know.
"But they are all here to see you, no?"
"They can't possibly be here for me right?"
Principal Wilson cleared his throat "um... Eula, I will talk to you later.. and Rick? I don't remember inviting you to my office"
"You basically own the school, so can't I come whenever I want?" Rick asked.
Turns out he still doesn't know Alfred already purchased the school yet, I smiled at his question
Brianny turned to me "actually.. we came for you!"
"And what business do I have with you guys?" She can't be serious right now right? They came for me? This must be some sort of silly joke!
"Yes, we did come for you.. to ruin your good moments" she moved towards me and walked around me
"Brianny get away from me" I stepped back, putting enough distance between us
"You know I wondered how you were able to land such an honorable job after the last time we met" she smiled
"But then, for a moment I actually forgot what you were very good at.. seems like you didn't learn well from your past predicament?" I didn't know if that was a question but even though it was, I knew what she was trying to do. She was at it again, the only thing she was good at, trying to rub salt on my past injury.
Trying to get into my head so I'd start panicking, I rolled my eyes at her statement "don't you have something I don't already know about to say? if you want to talk, think of something new Brianny"
"Old tricks won't work on me" I feigned indifference but I actually hoped Brianny won't say a thing about the past right here or even worse bring out any unnecessary video, I didn't want that to happen at all.
"Oh really?" She smirked
"As I was saying.. I actually forgot your talent of getting things through the back door" she turned to Principal Wilson "do you know that Jena here is a dispicable bitch? Someone like her doesn't deserve to work here!"
Mr. Wilson gave her a skeptical look "what do you mean?"
"You don't believe me? Good, I've got something for you!" She rummaged through her bag for a few seconds and brought out her phone. My heart fell to my stomach and I trembled, I can't let Brianny do this again, no!
"This bitch Jena sleeps aroun-" A fist suddenly connected with her cheeks and the rest of her words died in her throat as she held her mouth which was now bleeding in disbelief. Her red wig was yanked off her head and thrown to the floor, the phone was snatched away from her and dropped on the floor, a feet clad in boots went over it immediately and a cracking sound echoed throughout the office, indicating that the phone had been ruined!
The temperature in the office dropped several degrees and there was pin drop silence as everyone stared in shock at a very furious and fierce looking Alfred standing with her fists balled as she applied more pressure on Brianny's phone under her feet, making sure it doesn't stand a chance of ever getting repaired.
When did Alfred arrive? How did we not see her walk in? Probably because all our attentions were on Brianny. She had told me she would be back tomorrow so I didn't expect to see her here, but thank God she had reacted faster and stopped Brianny from... Geez! I suddenly felt goosebumps, realizing what would have actually happened had Brianny succeeded in showing that video.
My heart tightened and I hurriedly blinked back the tears threatening to escape my eyes, I can't afford to cry here! I shouldn't cry here!
Alfred squatted down, picked up the phone and threw it into her jacket "Hi loser! Long time no see!" She smirked at Brianny.
Everyone seemed to have recovered from the initial shock as Alfred said that to Brianny.
Brianny flared up immediately "and who the fuck are you?!"
"Forgotten me so soon? Check your damn head well, you should know me pretty well" Brianny looked very annoyed and confused, she stared at Alfred for a few moment before she exclaimed "Kristine???!!"
"Yes bitch? That took you too long to figure out though"
I was surprised, Brianny knew Alfred? And she had called her.. Kristine? That must be Alfred's real name. I deduced Brianny probably knew her from River High as Alfred was also a student there before she transferred to another school, and that was before Brianny had ruined my life.
"What are you doing here?? And how dare you hit me??!!" Brianny yelled at her
"No, I should be the one asking that question, what the hell are you idiots doing here?!" Alfred pointed at them one after the other
"And you Eula, you're actually this jobless now? You came to met one of your numerous sugar daddies to help you get a spot at the upcoming show? Go apologize to grandfather Instead of whoring around looking for help, you did wrong and he disowned you!" Alfred sneered and Eula trembled in rage
"How dare yo-" she raised her hand to slap Alfred but she swiftly dodged the slap and pushed Brianny towards her, causing the hit to land on Brianny's cheek instead
"Sorry to bust your bubble but Mr. Wilson can't help you right now because he doesn't own Hills Academy anymore!" She completed her words with a mocking laugh.
Rick's face got drained of color with that last statement.
"I own this school now, so get out! now!"
