"Baby !" mom called Hope you are all set for school? Dad would be dropping you off at school,great right?
"It isn't necessary right?" I asked almost to myself.
"Baby, don't think Mama didn't hear that.
Come-on, it is your first day at school and I am so sure you needs dad's company okay!
Don't try arguing with me" she said giving me a knowing glare.
" Whatever" I said but that didn't mean I didn't roll my eyes, don't blame me, couldn't help it. How will dad follow me to school, I wasn't a toddler ,I wanted to oppose but I know fully well that arguing with mom meant there would be no school for me today.
"Melinda" dad called as he hopped down the stairs.
Dad is a very jovial man although he is in his late 40s,he behaves like he is still in his youthful days. Funny right?
"Yes dad" I answered with a beaming smile ,after big bro Max, Dad is my best accompliance .
" Are you ready cause dad is ready to zoom off !!" He said acting like a child.
" What insolence! Leaving without bidding a proper farewell! It seems Mel is more precious to you huh." Mom said
She wasn't serious right? Dad bidding mom a proper farewell only meant I would be getting to school few minutes to it's break!!! How horrible!
"Darling,I am so sorry, don't mind me" dad said and went over to meet mom. I was in for it !
..... "We have a place to go right?!!!!...." I was so mad right now just thinking about the very fact that mom made dad forget he had to drop me at school.
"Sorry babe" dad said.
We did our regular prayers and slide down the road. I really wondered why mom loved praying that much,we never left the house without prayers.
***********************************************
The ride between dad and I was silent which really felt weird to me as I wasn't used to dad been quite, dad seemed to have noticed it and spoke breaking the unbearable silence.
"How do you feel about your new school?" he asked.
" To be candid,I feel nervous and excited. I am going to make new friends,see new talents,get involved in new fights, it seems interesting to me" I said trying all possible best to calm myself. " Dad how's the school like ?" I managed to ask again.
"Uhmm... Your new school is great,I mean it's a cool school. Don't you think you get there and get to no more about the school yourself ?" Dad said.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes,I didn't expect anything much from dad,he was never in the habit of telling you about a place if it was going to be your first time there.
The rest of the trip was silent and finally we came in view of a gigantic building, that should be my new school, it indeed looked great and amazing . It had a very large inscription which I was sure was the name of the school,it said 'STANFORD HIGH'
'WHERE ALL-KNOWING KNOWLEDGE REACHES IT PEAK'
The gate man opened the gate and let us into the gigantic building,dad packed at the garage and we hopped of the car . The school seemed a bit quite probably they were done with the morning assembly and had gone into their classes for the day's work.
"Sir, how may we help you?" Asked the receptionist as we strolled int her office.
" I want to enroll my daughter into your school" dad said.
" Oh! you must be Mr. Overa right?" She asked.
" Yes I am".
" The principal has been awaiting your arrival, you should go in" she said whilst be walked towards the principal's office
