Laura POV cont.
"Sorry, but I don't talk to brats." I said and looked away.
This girl wants to start what she can't finish.
"She's gonna chicken out." The girl at her left laughed.
"She definitely looks like a chicken." The other girl said and they laughed until Rachael used her hands to stop them.
It's like they are her minions or something.
Whatever.
"Crazy right." Tammy whispered in my ears. It tickled.
"Stop." I laughed and the girls stared at me awkwardly.
"Look if you aren't gonna say anything meaningful and out." I said and walked out on her.
"Come back here." She screamed at my back.
"Whatever." I said and we walked to our room but by the help of Tammy cause am still funding my way in this place.
"I'm exhausted." I said as I jumped on my bed.
"Seriously, just that little work." Maddy said.
"Nope, just tired from something else." I said.
"Oh." She said and went back to her talk with the girls.
"We should go have our bath, we are so nasty." Christy said.
"No way am clean, but it wouldn't hurt to take a shower." I said.
"I'll go first." Christy said as she ran into the bathroom.
"Dang it, forgot to undress." she yelled and we laughed.
"I'll go second." I said.
"Yeah, yeah." Patricia said lowly.
"Still daydreaming about Luke?" Tammy teased.
"What, no way." She yelled, her cheek got red.
"Hmmmm." We all stroked our chins, and I held back a giggle.
Am so bored
Gotta read some books.I dipped my hand into my bag and brought out some novels.
"Wow I would love to see that." Patricia said with excitement.
"Me too." Madison said.
"Chirsty, Laura has some novels." Tammy yelled.
"What?" Christy screamed from the bathroom.
"I'll be out in a jiffy." he yelled and we laughed.
"So which one are you going to give us." Patricia asked smiling sheeply.
"Er, don't know, you'll have to choose." I said and each of them quickly pick a book.
"I'm here." Christy ran out with her towel towards me.
"Wow." I said a little scared.
"Don't ask just know that I am very serious with novels, give me one." She said.
"Choose." I said and as showed her the books.
"No." She screamed.
"What?" We asked worried.
"That's the one I wanted." She whined pointing to the book with Patricia who basically smirked at her.
"I always know the good ones." She smiled while Christy rolled her eyes.
"Let me see this one." Christy said and took a novel from me and moved to her bed.
I watched as they all followed Christy's example, they all went to their beds reading the stories at the same time.
The most surprising thing is that Christy was still with her towel tied on her chest lying on her bed reading a novel.
I guess that I am not the only novel freak.
"Christy dress up." I yelled.
"No, am good." She said.
"Christy you have to get dressed." Tammy said and Christy groaned.
"Right now." Madison said with her bossy tone.
"Fine." Christy rolled her eyes and I giggled.
She stood up and started arranging her clothes that she'll wear while reading.
Geez!!!
"Girls who's going to bath next." I asked but they all ignored me, so engrossed with their stories.
"You can go next." Maddy said.
"Okay." I said.
Don't mind me, girls. I'm just going about my business.I quickly stood up thinking about the towel am going to use and clothes I'm gonna wear since I only have these clothes I am putting on.
"Sorry, I didn't tell you before, your towel is in the bathroom close to the door thingy that towels are." Maddy said, still reading.
"My clothes?" I asked and she looked up from the book.
"We'll handle that." They chorused and I smiled walking into the bathroom.
Minutes later...
I am done, it is bad for say that it was the best bath I have ever had in my life.
If it isn't let me say 'it was the best bath I have ever had' sincerely speaking.
I came out and the first thing I saw surprised me a lot.
"I am done." Christy and Patricia chorused.
"Wow, so fast." I said.
"Yeah." They said and stared at me awkwardly.
"What?" I asked.
"You need clothes follow me." Patricia said and I followed.
She got me to the wardrobe, like seriously I can go there by myself...
"Now get ready for a breath taking, stomach--"
"Get to the point already." Maddy groaned and I laughed.
"Bummer." She muttered and Maddy rolled her eyes.
I was still standing there with a long towel tied across my chest, but believe me when I say my leg ached me a lot..
She opened the wardrobe and behold in fr..let's just say I saw so many glittering things in my life that I can't even count or explain..
Strange right?
Am still not used to these stuffs.
My jaw fell open at the sight of these supposed beautiful things to behold.
"Wow." I blurted out.
"Yeah, I so wanted a grand opening but Madison spoilt it." She hissed.
"It is okay, I'm fine with it." I said.
"Okay, you're gonna have to choose a dress, but you'll have your own clothes soon. that is when Mr Howard comes tomorrow." Madison said.
"Cool." I smiled.
"It's all yours, your highness." Patricia smiled as she bowed a little and moved away.
Drama queen...
After staring at the dresses, lost in thought of what to wear." I still didn't get one.
"Having problems." Maddy said behind me and I flinched. She scared me.
"Yeah." I said catching my breath.
"Just take the one your hand touches, it can be a short dress or top and skirt but don't choose a long gown that's for tomorrow." She said and I nodded.
I stretched my hand to grab a dress and guess what I picked, a red jean skirt with a handless pop looking top...
"Wow." I gasp at my discovery.
"Nice choice." Maddy said and I smiled and made way to my bed.
Putting on the clothes were easy but it felt a little uncomfortable, since its new to me.
"You look gorgeous, Laura." Christy shrieked and the girls nodded.
"Thanks girls." I blushed.
For the first time ever, I blushed, wow am getting the hang of it...
"Where is Racheal?" I asked.
"You do not wanna know." Tammy said.
"She's quite right." Patricia said.
"Don't worry about her, we got your back." Maddy said.
"Thanks girls, thanks for being my friends." I said getting all teary and they stared at each other awkwardly.
"Eww!" Maddy screamed.
"That's like the grossest thing ever." Tammy said and I froze.
"What?" I asked confused.
"We can never be friends with you." Christy said.
"Yeah never, ever ever in our life not even in our after lifes." Patricia said.
Tears began to swell in my eyes and I wanted them to pour badly because I couldn't see properly and it hurts a lot...
"But why have you been nice to me?" I asked trying to hold my tears, cause I don't want them to use this as an advantage.
"Being nice to you doesn't mean that we are friends with you, Laura." Maddy said.
"Yeah, we aren't friends get that into your head." Tammy said.
Am just so dumb, how can I fall for their nice faces and attitude towards me, they are just the same type of people I ran away from.
Why why...
Being alive hurts sometimes.
"Oh my, did you think we are your friends." Patricia laughed.
"She really did." Christy said and they all laughed again falling on their beds.
I didn't notice when a tear fell from my eye, and it continued, also doing the same to my other eye.
As they laughed not staring at me or finding out if I'm heart broken or not, they just did it for fun. Like every one else...
"OMG, Laura are you crying?" Tammy said with a worried look...
They are trying to be nice again.
Screw them all...
Laura POV cont."Laura we didn't mean to make you cry." Chrsity said."You all aren't my friends so get the hell away from me." I yelled and wiped my tears."We aren't your friends, we are your sisters." Maddy said."We will never be friends with you, we are all sisters." Tammy said."Oh guys." I said and quickly hugged Tammy and Maddy."Hey,we are over here too!" Patricia and Christy said and I smiled before hugging them too.Now I get it. They aren't my friends but my sisters.So cool."I am just so glad." I said."Yeah, but don't ever cry again, we hate seeing you cry." Christy said."Okay, speaking of sisters are both of you related?" I asked Tammy and Maddy."How did you know?" Tammy asked."You guys look alike." I said. "And your names have double letters and end with a y.""We are related, she's my younger sister." Madison said."Wow, cool." I said."It's bett
The next day, I woke up unusually early. I was still shocked when I saw the girls asleep...And I silently prayed before walking into the bathroom.. Do you expect me to stay with brushing..I was finished with the bathroom, and I thought of having a shower which I did.. I don't want to use the bathtub due to the fear of slipping.I walked out of the bathroom with my pyjamas in my hand and a towel tied on my chest.."You're awake," Someone said and I jerked instantly"It's me don't be scared," She said and I turned only to see Madison."You scared the daylight out of me," I said as I breath a sigh of relief."Huh?" She asked."Just forget it," I said and looked around and something caught my eye.. Or should I say someone."What is Rachael doing here," I asked."She's Miss Malika favourite doesn't mean that she won't sleep in her room and besides today is Sunday," She said."Oh," I said and move
Tears flowed down my cheeks and they all started laughing at me..Including the girls... I ran out of the hall crying..Just joking!!!Sorry but I sometimes can be illusive or let's say illusory...I think what will happen if something goes wrong or good. Let's go back to the real scene...I was shaking, shivers ran down my spine and a big lump was ducked in my throat..I was now standing in the pillar or stage, should I say a speech?Yeah, I will. Here goes nothing."My name is Laura gold and I am glad to be in this wonderful orphanage that has beautiful rooms, gorgeous and caring women that cares for us, like Miss Malika and... ""We all know that that's not true," He said and I stared at him."Miss Malika isn't caring or nice or gorgeous," He said aloud and I slowly stared At the woman, she didn't say anything but looked forward."Oh," I said not knowing what to say."You don't have to say a
"What do you want?" I asked with so much anxiety."Can we talk son?" He asked.I so hate it when he calls me son but doesn't treat me like one.."I am busy," I said."Please, let's talk in my study," He said."Be there in a minute," He added and walked away."Arhhh!" I groaned and jumped on my bed.What exactly does he want with me anyway.I reluctantly stood up and dragged myself to his office, study or whatever he calls it.I knocked softly even though, I am not in the gentle mood.Mr Howard opened the door and ushered me in, I sat down on the couch in his huge study and he..."I'm gonna make this quick," He inhaled deeply.What does he want to say now.. Talk already."I want you to get married," He stared at me and I stared back confused."I'll do that when I fall in love, not now," I said."I already choose someone for you," He said."Ooh, so you're gonna use me fo
It's lunch time and I am with the girls in the cafeteria eating. Lesson was awesome, studying is really fun..except for Francesca being mean to me. BBB girls? Why isn't it FLA or something. The next class am going is English... I can't wait. "Who is going to English class?" I asked. "Me," Patricia said. "Are you sure you want to go?" She asked and I nodded. She stood up and beckoned me to come. "Carry your bag and let's go or we'll be late," She said. "Bye guys," I said as I stood up and followed her. "The English teacher is so dull and boring," She said along the way. "Bummer, but that's not gonna stop me," I said. "We'll see then," She smirked as we got into the class. Thank God that we didn't draw any attention to ourselves. I sat on an empty seat close to the window..and Patricia sat behind me. The teacher heels shook the ground as she appeared in front of the
♦Laura Pov♦After school we were back to the orphanage, and I gladly jumped on my bed after freshening up.. Today had being great except for English class. I really can't wait for tomorrow, it should just come already.. I suddenly heard screams and thought about checking what's happening but stopped when Maddy came into the room screaming.. "Okay what is it?" I asked. "Guess what," She said. "What?" We chorused. "I said guess, don't answer me," She feigned annoyance. "But I am still gonna tell u anyway," She added and we rolled our eyes. "Talk already," Tammy groaned. "Shhhh, patience is the key," She said and I shook my head. "Look what I've got in my hand," She shrieked waving her hand, and guess what was in it.. A phone.. She just worked me out for nothing.. "A phone," The girls jumped showering her with questions. "I am tired of this noise," I yelled. "Sorry," They
♣Luke pov♣"You should go dress up, we'll be leaving very soon," Dad said and I lazily stood up and headed to my room, still stealing glances at Sandra.I walked into my room and quickly selected a white tuxedo to put on and a matching pair of shoe to wear."Wasn't she extremely gorgeous," I heard and I flinched almost landing on my bed. I turned only to see my annoying sister."Can you for once obey me," I sighed."If you want me to knock, that ain't gonna happen," She smiled."What if I had being dressing up," I said."I always come at the right time," She said."I am not in the mood for this," I said."You don't want anything to spoil your good mood because of Sandra?" She said and moved closer to me."I don't know what you're talking about," I said."Come on, don't take me for a fool, I know my brother very well and I know that you like Sandra," She said and I gasped."Well, tha
♠Laura's pov♠Waking up with pains in my arm was awesome. I am being sarcastic. I had to scrub the toilet so had that I think that my hand is broken.Going to school today, and I am really not in the mood.After breakfast we went to school, and today am going to the gym first. Just to show off my good skills and impress everyone.Nah...that will never happen. Am too weak and soft, and I don't want to ache my poor body more. But I have to go, so that I can see for myself.And besides the girls will be there they'll keep me company. "Okay I take back my word, am leaving," I said but Patricia held me back."Everything will be just fine and fun, just breath," She said slowly."In and out," She said and I followed."That's good, now let's have some fun," She winked.It's gonna be fun.Nothing bad will happen. I won't break into tiny pieces, but why am I so nervous."I am nervo
*Third Person's Pnt Of View*The celebration was grand. Chandeliers glimerring beautifully, fancy curtains, perfectly arranged chairs and so on. The celebration was to be held at the grand ballroom in the royal castle. Many types of dishes filled the reserved pots, trays and other vessels required for cooking. The cooks were doing a great job so far.The environment was busy and elegant. A few person's were still lingering close to the decorations trying to perfect them. Drops of flowers petals filled the altar, as directed by the queen. Laura was right about this been the greatest. It took some few minutes before the two groom, anticipately waiting.Meanwhile, the brides were in their own chambers preparing for their upcoming celebration. Laura stood close to them, the queen and two brides wouldn't have it any other way. She was closer to them than any other female specie.Laura sucked her mouth like candy as she stared at the two brides. She was battlin
*Laura's Pnt Of View*"W-What?" I stuttered and she sighed."This is your brother," she motioned to the little boy beside the man. The boy hopped happily to me. I was beyond shocked! I mean..what? What??"I don't...understand," I muttered and the man sighed. He walked closer to me and hugged me, followed by the little boy."I know but you will. We are so happy to see you." "Look if this is some joke, just end it," I blurted out and the woman looked down."It's not some joke, it is real," she smiled, something else glittered in her eyes."I don't believe you!" I responded codly and I looked away. I didn't want to see her face."Why?" The boy asked and I looked up to stare at him. So innocent!!"Because my mom is dead and my father standing right there," I pointed to Mr Howard."It's really rude to remind him of his wife and my mother's death," I listed."These are my siblings too" I gestured to them."
*Laura's Pnt Of View*I have been in the room, calculation the time ever since I woke up. It was the next day and I usually got breakfast by 10 am. I didn't touch the food that much but I hid the fork and the small knife in the bed. Thankfully, it was Cody who brought my food. I could tell that he was ashamed to face me.I was sure he wasn't staying at home today before of his father and his conversation yesternight. I already have somethings planned out. I am not going to be sulking and waiting for tomorrow. If Cody's father fall asleep or goes out, I'll sneek out. I have to try, I'll never give up.If he catches me, I'll bite off his arm and run as fast as I can. That's not an actual plan but it's something. Something I can manage..I suddenly heard heavy footsteps and I panicked a little. I quickly shoved the knife and fork under the bed. I'm not sure that I'll use them but I had to be prepared to defend myself.The door opened slowly and I rest
*Laura Pnt Of View*"What do you mean by that?" I asked as I shifted back."I love you, okay?" That was not bad at all! I'm been sarcastic. Why does everyone love me? Why am I complaining."I'm sorry but I don't feel the same way," I said calmly, thinking he would understand."I didn't ask you! I just want you to know," he said. "If we get married, I will help you out of here.""I'll find another way," I said and he smirked. "There's no other alternative and you have no choice." he stated as he slowly walked towards me.I shifted back, back and back till I was corned by a headboard. He leaned slowly towards me, his target my lips but we were fortunately interrupted by his father."What's going on here?" His voice echoed in the room and Cody straightened up."I was just telling her about my mother. Since she is going to be my step mom, I...." He croaked. Liar!Pretender!"I see and how did she take it," his fat
*Laura Pnt Of View*"I'm not your father. I never was," he replied casually. His legs crossed and he was relaxed."Then who is my--""You wouldn't know him. He is married to you mother and they live a bit far from here.""Didn't they look for me?" I asked surprised. I always wanted to meet my parents but now that I'm about to know them, I feel nothing!"I doubt that! They have another child. A boy!" That didn't break my heart at all. I'm serious.."Oh... But you said you loved her!" I said."I still do but she chose your father over m he shrugged. I'm glad she did."You too have many things in common, like--""My hair colour?" I asked and he nodded silently."Why are you being so nice?" I asked after the brief silence and he smiled."How do you expect me to behave?" He asked."I'm just why you are being nice to me. No biggy," I explained and he chuckled."You are just like her, even in your si
*Laura Point Of View*"I will leave you two to catch up," the man said and he left. Great! Cody's eyes flashed to me and I shifted back wards."Laura, I can explain..." He trailed off and huffed. He walked over to the bed and sat down."My father has been watching you since. I think he even planned for you to enter the orphanage. Immediately you did, he sent me there too. He was bent on getting to you. He made me do it and I agreed at first, but, when I got to know you, I regretted" he looked over to me."My father would have found another way to get to you if you didn't come here with..Gabriel," he spat out bitterly."What do you want?" I acted calmly but deep down I was heartbroken."I know that you won't believe me but I mean you no harm. I won't let him harm you," he assured."Thank you but I'm okay. You've done enough," I simply stated and he stood up."Please!!" He pleaded. "I think you should go," I said staring at the g
"What do you want?" I panicked, trying to shift back as he approached the bed. He ignored my question and leaned closer to me."Such a beautiful thing," his hands shot to my hair and I hissed as he dragged it."Please what do you want?" I asked, gulping loudly. He grinned deeply as he shifted back."We may want something but sometimes cannot get it. I am lucky I get what I want," he paced down the room and I just stared at him in confusion."I don't understand," I croaked out and he sighed as he sat on the edge of the bed."How do you know my name!" I manage to shout after the brief silence."I just need you to calm done, Laura," he said."Calm down? How can I calm done when you--, wait you are going to rape me again aren't you?""No honey! I wouldn't dare hurt you. Never ever," he assured but I didn't believe him at all."Then why am I here?" I asked trying not to show my trembling body."I'll told you to stay ca
*Third Person Point Of View*Gabriel rushed back with a slightly faint speed. He wanted to get to Laura quickly before she got a hint of his surprise.Yeah, a surprise! Her birthday was coming up in a week time and he was prepared for it. All the grand gestures were to keep her mind out of it.Slowly, he approached the spot he left her a few minutes ago. The sight before him didn't make sense. He felt like crying.Where is the Laura that I left here? He thought and panic.Looking at the scene he already knew what happened..Her ice cream was scattered on the ground, her phone shattered and a piece of cloth roughly laid on the floor.He sucked in breath and walked closer to the item. Swiftly pulling it up, he froze at the situation.He looked at the item with confusion and anger. Right there was written boldly and clearly, "Your beloved shall never be seen by you again! I'll make sure of that" that was the answer to his question.
A Month Later....☁*Laura Point Of View*"What do you mean by he's caustic?" I asked confused."Codic is bitter and shar-""He's name is Cody and he is not bitter," I protested.Me and Gabriel were presently on a date and he kept asking and telling me about Cody behaviour towards me and him together. He doesn't like Cody and Cody doesn't like him."You sound like you are on his side. You are arguing with your boyfriend just because of him?" He hissed and I rolled my eyes."Oh please! I think I'll have a headache if you don't stop talking," I said and he gave me a pointed look which I ignored."Me and Cody are just friends nothing else," I promised and he sighed as he raked his hair."Okay. I believe you," he smiled and I returned it."Now can we go. This place is a little restricted. I want to stretch my legs," I groaned and buried my head on the table."It's not restricted, you are just not used to it," he s
