Brianna soon arrived home and snuck back to her room.No one had noticed she left the house except for the gateman who opened the door for her on her arrival.She opened her room door gently and went under the sheets.It was past 6 a.m. already.She was expecting to hear sounds from Arianna’s room as she should be preparing for school already.Brianna left for Arianna’s room when there were no traces of her preparing for school yet.When she got to her door, she placed her ear gently on it hoping to hear any sound of her preparing.Hearing none, she barged into her room.“Ari! Ari!!” She screamed at the top of her voice.“Mu......m” Arianna who was under the sheets replied slowly.Arianna knew already Brianna had come to wake her for school.Arianna pleaded to skip school for a day more.“Can I stay back and rest today?” she asked her mother with a pitiful eye.“No, you can’t!” Brianna answered shining her eyes.“I prepared for the meeting yesterday that I barely had time to rest” she
Brian soon finished with the necessary registrations.He had become a bona fide student of the school.Brian didn’t like the idea of being a student, but anything for Arianna, right?Arianna was glad he had become a student, this way they would always stick together.Arianna was sitting in class when she saw Brian making his way into the classroom.He had finished registering.“You’re in the same class as me?” Arianna inquired as she was surprised.“Yes!” Brian whispered.Arianna couldn’t believe he was in the same class as her.“But he just resumed today” she thought.“He must be brilliant” she concluded.She was glad regardless.Unknown to Arianna, Brian pleaded with the principal to be put in the same class as Arianna.“If you pass the entrance exams” you’re good to go the principal said.Brian knew if he sat for the exam he had a low chances of passing it.Brian insisted he was put in the same class as Arianna.He promised the principal he would do just fine there.The principal d
Arianna was dumbfounded as she looked at Brianna in the eye. She was fidgety already, will the secret about her powers be exposed? She thought. “How do I say no to this witch?” “Does she know about her losing her power already?” Arianna questioned herself. Brianna suddenly cuts in. “Zuma Ari just” was all Brianna could say before she was shunned by Zuma. “She should speak for herself,” Zuma said. Brianna who had been looking for ways to discard Zuma instantly picked an offense to Zuma’s statement. “What do you mean by speak for herself?” Brianna protested. Zuma looked at Brianna without any reaction. Brianna repeated herself shouting this time. Zuma was silent. Brianna knew her plan to upset Zuma wasn’t working. “Ari needs to rest, she only just got back from school” Brianna outcried. Zuma ignored Brianna “What do you have to say, Ari?” She asked. “Ari inside now!” Brianna commanded. “I just need a reply common Brianna!” Zuma shouted. Arianna was confused she didn’t
Arianna got the text while writing her homework and of course, Brianna had gotten her a new phone.Brianna got Arianna a new phone on the day scheduled for the previous monthly gathering.Arianna was overwhelmed with it as she was sad none of the dignitaries attended the gathering.As Arianna got the text, she wondered what he had to say to her.“Why is it urgent?” She asked herself aloud.“Could it be he’s tired of protecting her?”“Was that why he rushed back into his room?” Arianna mumbled.Arianna had always been an overthinker, she thought of possible reasons why he wanted to see her.She was lost in thought and another text from Brian brought her back.Without hesitating, she opened the text. Brian texted her the location where the meeting would be held.It was in his room!“His room?” She soliloquized.Arianna didn’t know whether to be happy or worried as she didn’t think he would invite her into his room.She hurriedly went downstairs and headed towards Brian's room.Arianna
Arianna was confused as to what to say.“Should I embrace his confession?”“I might as well turn it down?”“Is it the right time?” Arianna thought.Brian wondered what could be going through her mind.Arianna’s lips continued moving, yet Brian couldn’t hear a word.“I should head to my room now to get some sleep” Arianna finally uttered loudly.“Really!”“That was all she could say?” Brian said to himself.But could complain after all he told her to take all the time in the world.“Sure!”“Early to bed early to rise!” Brian replied smiling.That sounded like a primary school line to Arianna as she smiled half-heartedly.Brian couldn’t hide his anxiousness anymore “Are you sure you don’t have anything to say?” he asked.Arianna replied saying “I am tired”.“I didn’t ask if you were tired!”“Of course I expected you to be after chasing me round the whole room,” Brian said to himself.“I should go now,” Arianna said as she headed towards the door.Brian stretched his hand forth to touch
The horn of the car brought her back to her senses, it was her driver’s horn.Lyn the driver was trying to signal Arianna he had reached school.As he drove into the school’s compound, he found a space to park the car. As soon as he parked Brian alighted from the car, Lyn expected Arianna to do the same.After a few minutes, Arianna still didn’t alight from the car.Lyn looked at her through the front mirror and noticed she was lost in thought, hence the reason he honked.The sound of the honk frightened Arianna.She questioned Lyn why he had to honk harshly.“We’ve arrived at school for a while now and you didn’t alight with the general” Lyn confessed.Arianna looked through the window and realized Brian had alighted already.“You should have notified me earlier,” Arianna said to Lyn in a low tone.Brian was worried he wondered what was keeping Arianna in the car.He opened the car door to ask, Arianna was also planning to alight already.Before Brian could ask why Arianna said “I wa
The rest of the class except the educator, the speaker, Arianna, and Brian burst into laughter. Arianna was lost. “Why was the police involved?” “Alice and Lucas would soon be apprehended?” “Who is the witch?” These questions ran through her mind. The educator replied to the student saying “Nobody told you the culprit was a witch!” “Can you all focus now!”. The students stopped laughing and brought out their books. The educator commanded them to submit the previous assignment she had given them. She went round as she checked the students' solution one at a time. Soon she reached Brian’s desk and didn’t find his notebook on his table. “Where’s your assignment?!” She inquired. “It.....s” Brian stuttered. Brian tried attempting the assignment questions when he went into his room after dinner, he found it difficult and couldn’t ask Arianna for the solutions. He suggested he answered the associated questions anyhow but remembered he was on probation. The assignment might be
Brian who was still sitting close to her noticed she was lost in her thoughts.He thought of something funny he could do to bring her back“Maybe I should crack a joke?” “Considering her present mood, she might not find it funny”“I probably should allow her to ponder on what next to do”“All this would be over soon my dear Ari” Brian said to himself.He ran his eyes over her as her eyes were still closed.Brian stood up to sit by her bedside, “Rubbing my hands on her hair should make her feel better”.Arianna felt his soft hands on her hair, it made her relieved indeed.Brian continued rubbing his hands on her hair until he heard a knock on the door.“Common in, the door is opened” Brian uttered.The door was opened by Lyn as he walked in.Brian was surprised to see Lyn by that time, it wasn’t closing hours yet.“Lyn!” Brian called.Arianna opened her eyes as she heard Brian say, Lyn.She found out it was Lyn “What are you doing here at this time?” She inquired.“I’ve searched every
