Audrey was in Maxine's and Josephine's room, Josephine was busy looking at herself in the mirror."Aren't you practicing for tomorrow's tournament?" Audrey asked "There's no need for that. Let me talk to Maxine for you." Josephine said 'Hey! Where are you?' Josephine asked telepathically'What now I'm waiting for Audrey in her room.' Maxine said 'She's in our room get your ass in here.' Josephine said 'Okay.' Maxine answered "She's on her way." Josephine said to Audrey"Where are you going?" Audrey asked "On a study date, I'm not like Maxine who never goes out." Josephine said"Okay, who's the unlucky boy?" Audrey asked "No need to know his identity or I might just decide not to show up." Josephine said"Oh, I wouldn't want to be the reason the poor guy suddenly lost his date. Have fun." "Thanks." Josephine said "Audrey? You here?" Maxine asked"Hey Max." Audrey said"I thought she was joking, so I'd come back to the room." Maxine said "Josephine can be a lot of things but I
The crowd was excitingly cheering on their headmaster. "After we find our winner, we'd give them the award they all deserve. Please welcome Miss Lucy to the podium, she'll explain more about this tournament." Nolan said walking to his seat.The students were surprised there were seats prepared that looked like that of judges. "Thank you principal Walter." Lucy said Everyone was surprised Lucy wasn't dressed like the day before, she was supposed to be the one calling the shots. "Students I wouldn't be the one choosing who the winner is because I'd be amongst the judges, I'm sure you're surprised why we have judges we don't have much to do but we want to observe those fighting and also to pick our own winner." The students began murmuring amongst themselves"Yes, I know you're all confused. You must have questions like, are we going to let someone who was knocked out by the other to be the winner?" "Actually that's not why, I'm joining the judges today in this contest we want to s
Helen walked quickly out of the arena. Audrey saw Helen and called out to her. "Hey Helen." "Oh hey Audrey." Helen said stopping on her tracks. "Adrian can you excuse us for a minute, I'll catch up with you." Audrey said "Okay, I'll be waiting over there." Adrian said walking away. "Is there something you want say?" Helen asked"Yeah, about the tournament I watched you. Why did you let her win?" Audrey asked "I thought about hurting her, deep down I felt like something unholy was trying to tell me to hurt her." Helen said "Wait like something in your head?" Audrey asked"Yeah something like that." "Wanna check on doctor Allen with me?" Audrey asked "What for?" Helen asked"I want him to make a diagnosis. Come later with me?" Audrey persuaded with a smile."Okay." Helen nodded Doctor Allen was in his office when Audrey and Helen walked in."My favourite patient what is it that you want?" Doctor Allen asked "Well somehow the good thing, about being called doctor Allen's favou
Adrian was alone in the room when his phone buzzed. "Hello." Adrian answered"Hm so if I don't call, you wouldn't." A woman said from the other side. "What is it?" Adrian asked casually. "Come on son? Are you in a bad mood again?" Mrs Maximilian asked "No, I'm fine. What is it?" Adrian asked "Okay, since you don't want to share... You're coming home tomorrow." Hailey said "Why is something wrong?" Adrian asked "Not necessarily." "Then I'm coming home next tomorrow like everyone else." Adrian said "Actually son you're vacating tonight." She said "You asked Mr Walter to shift the vacation date didn't you?" Adrian asked"Of course, my son is learning." Hailey said with a satisfied smile on her face "Why?" "Family issues if I should put it that way." Hailey said casually"The company no less." Adrian guessed"Exactly, son you know how to read my mind." Hailey said "How much did you pay to get the vacation date shifted?" Adrian asked "That's irrelevant my dear." Adrian scoff
Audrey was staring at Adrian and she had to ask. "Are you okay?" "What?" Adrian asked absentmindedly"Yes I'm fine." Adrian answered "You don't look okay." Audrey said"I'm fine I have to go pack my bags." Adrian said turning around to leave. Audrey decided to go back to Maxine as well. She wasn't interested in talking to him anymore if he had no interest in talking to her. "Wait!" Adrian called out"What?" Audrey asked "Sorry I acted weird, I'm sorry." Adrian apologized"Fine, I forgive you." Audrey said "Will you please come see me off tomorrow?" Adrian asked "Okay, I will." Audrey said "See you tomorrow then. Good night." Adrian said"Good night Adrian." Audrey said Audrey returned back to her room under the pretext of packing up, but the truth was she already had. She had decided to sneak into the principal's office since no one would be there at this hour. Audrey arrived at Nolan's office she knocked on the door just in case anyone was there but of course there was no o
Audrey collected the result from doctor Allen. "Thank you." "You're welcome my favourite patient if you need anything call me." Allen said "Of course. See you around doctor Allen." Audrey said. Allen was Nolan's good friend so she figured if she needed anything, she could either easily see him at their home or call him. "You too my dear." Allen said walking away. "Took you long enough." Josephine said as Audrey came back."Where did you go?" Nolan asked "I..." "What's that in your hands?" Nolan asked "It belongs to Helen." Audrey said"What does Helen need a file for?" Josephine asked"It's a test she ran this is the results. Now can we please go home, I'm dying to see my room again." Audrey said sarcastically getting into the car and slamming the doors."Ouch, did they provoke you?" Maxine asked she was sitting in the car all along. "I'm fine, I've just been thinking a lot lately." Audrey said "About?" Maxine asked "My place in the universe." Audrey said "That sounds lik
Audrey's phone buzzed and seeing who the caller's ID a smile played on on her lips. "Yes." She answered"Hey, how are you settling in?" Adrian asked "I'm okay, I was just about to take a nap." Audrey said"Okay." "How are things at home?" Audrey asked "Well the situation has been handled." Adrian said "That's nice. How are you settling in?" Audrey imitated"I just came back from the company." Adrian said"Well looks who's been a busy boy." Audrey teased "Stop it." Adrian said"Didn't they throw you out that you're underage?" Audrey teased further"Hey, I'm eighteen already." Adrian said "Oh really?" Audrey asked"Yes." "Okay, I'll stop teasing get some rest you've earned it." Audrey said "Thanks, you too." Adrian said"I'll See you in two day?" Audrey asked "See you in two days." Adrian said disconnecting the call. Nolan walked towards Audrey's door.*knock* knock* "Who is it?" Audrey asked "It's me, can I come in?" Nolan asked "No." Audrey said "Audrey please, can I co
Josephine and Maxine were almost at the gate. "Where do you two think you're going?" Rocco asked"We're going out why?" Josephine asked rudely."Your mom asked me not to let the two of you leave the house." Rocco said"Listen I know you're just trying to do your job. But that's to guard the house and not me, I'm not a prisoner here. I'm the young mistress of the household." Josephine said"I know but..." "I don't care what mom said. Audrey is already out the door, and you dare stop me?" Josephine asked"Calm down Jo." Maxine said"We aren't going that far we'll be back soon." Maxine said "I'm not calming down, I'm calling mom." Josephine said dialing Eleanor's number. "Josephine what is it? We left barely two hours ago and you're already calling." Eleanor asked "Mom I know you're on your honeymoon, and I wouldn't have had to disturb you if you hadn't asked Rocco to keep us locked in. Why was Audrey an exception?" Josephine asked "Because she doesn't go out." Eleanor said "Sorry
