“What does he mean by his work here is done?” Arianna asked Primal while staring at Brian as he walked out of the room.There was no response from Primal, “Are you dead?” Arianna asked inwardly and still got no reply.“What is it you wanted to say to me before Brian came in?” Brianna asked as she lay on the bed.“It’s nothing Mum” she responded wearing a fake smile.“I know there is something” Brianna protested.“You were right Mum, I didn’t want to fix lunch for me because of an issue I had with him,” Arianna said in a bid to stop Brianna from questioning her further.“You’re so petty Ari,” Brianna remarked.“I think it’s best we go back to sleeping” Brianna added.“And I sincerely hope we wake up,” Arianna said.“What does that mean?” Brianna inquired after she processed the statement for a few seconds.“I said that because we’re both tired, I meant I hope we wake up soon,” Arianna responded.“Oh”“I would be sure to wake you up for dinner” Brianna mentioned.“That would only be pos
“I was just about to ask also” Brian replied.“I’ve only been away for two days,” Arianna said.“Technically it’s four days” Brian mumbled.“I would like to meet with the principal to inform him about my decision to quit,” He said aloud.“Okay,” Arianna said and made her way into her classroom while Brian went in search of the principal.“What’s with these new faces?” Arianna asked herself while walking towards her seat.“We have new friends” one of Ari’s classmates whispered to her and left the classroom catwalking.“That sounds interesting,” Arianna said with an attitude.“But why are they so many?” She questioned herself as she sat down.The bell rang a few seconds later and it was time for assembly.“No one not even the teachers is asking why I missed school?” “That’s weird”“It must be because of the new students, everyone’s got their attention on them”“Oh, they must have read about it online”“But no one cares to hear my side of the story? She deliberated as she walked down to
Arianna sat on the bed downcast, Brianna had explained how the dignitaries had stopped being on their side and how she had always covered up for them.“Mother didn’t want you feeling this way, that has been why she refused to inform you” “I didn’t enjoy lying to my daughter but I had no other options”“I even went as far as visiting them one after the other to find out what was going on”“They all humiliated me and acted as tho I was a beggar,” Brianna said.Arianna looked up at her Mother with teary eyes, she fought hard to hold back the tears but couldn’t, “It’s okay to cry it all out” Brianna remarked, and at that second tears rolled down Arianna’s cheeks uncontrollably.There was a knock on Brianna’s door, “Come in Brian” she said.“Good afternoon Mother,” Brian said.“Afternoon Brian”“I sent for you, please have your seat” Brianna stated and Brian sat instantly.“Ari explained all that transpired between you both on your way back from school to me,” Brianna said.“Is that why s
“How about we eat out?” Brianna asked Brian.“That wouldn’t be necessary, I could fix something for us to eat” Brian responded.“We should eat out”“That way I would be able to hear what people have to say about those that just moved into the pack,” Brianna remarked.“You don’t think no one would want to talk about it in your presence?” Brian asked.“I wouldn’t be going as the late Alpha’s wife,” Brianna said.“I’m confused” Brian mentioned.“I would disguise!” Brianna said.“Wow”“That sounds interesting!” Brian exclaimed.“Will Ari be going with us?” Brian asked.“I doubt that besides she still needs more time”“We would get something for her on our way back,” Brianna said.“Can I make a suggestion?” Brian questioned.“Sure” Brianna replied.“How about I go do this alone?”“That way it would be easier,” Brian said.“True!”“it would be easier for you to disguise than me,” Brianna remarked.“Exactly my thought!” Brian said.“How can I thank you enough?” Brianna asked giving him a big
The alarm rang, waking both Arianna and Brian, Arianna rolled to the right side of the bed to mute it with her eyes closed, she wasn’t conscious of the fact that she wasn’t in her room nor Brianna’s and the alarm wasn’t on the side of the bed.She stretched forth her hand reaching for the alarm, she lost patience as her hand touched nothing, and the noise kept on upsetting her.Opening her eyes in anger, she realized she wasn’t in her room, instantly she looked at the wall clock “It’s morning!” She yelled and Brian woke up due to how loud her yell was.“I can’t believe I spent the night here,” Arianna said jumping out of his bed.“Well, you did,” Brian said in a low tone.Arianna didn’t bother replying as she dashed out of his room straight to her room, she hurriedly prepared for school and rushed into the kitchen to fix breakfast.She was on the stairs when she saw Brianna setting the dining table, “Did you even sleep at all?”“Good morning to you too my dear daughter” “And yes I di
The next day at school, Arianna arrived a bit earlier than usual, she made sure to look her best and didn’t forget to wear her perfume.She was in class when Alice arrived, “Good morning Alice” she said smiling, Alice paused and looked all around her and finally faced Arianna.“You’re referring to me?” Alice asked.“Of course yes”“Except we have another Alice amongst us already,” Arianna said still smiling.“Well, Good morning to you too” Alice replied and went to have her seat.Arianna walked up to her seat and sat next to her “How are you settling?”“I can see you made a few friends already,” Arianna said.Alice gave Arianna a doubting look as she refused to answer her question.“Okay”“I should do this the right way” Arianna mumbled but was sure to be audible for Alice.“I’m sorry I acted irrationally towards you yesterday”“I regret it”“Didn’t mean to, I was just in a really terrible mood” Arianna said to Alice.“Are you always in a bad mood?” Alice asked.“What?”“No” Arianna r
At exactly 2 am, Arianna snuck into her room, “I wouldn’t be able to finish my assignments”“All thanks to Brian!” She lamented as she carried her school bag.She sat in front of her mirror, placed her books on the dressing table attached to the mirror, and began to write her assignments.After a while, she started to develop body pains, which made her retire to bed with her books.While lying on the bed using her chest, she continued with her assignments, she looked up at the wall clock “I doubt I would be able to sleep” she mumbled.It was a few minutes past three, and Arianna began to yawn uncontrollably and her eyes were beginning to feel heavy, “A five-minute rest should do” she said as she dropped her pen and closed her eyes.“I ought to set the alarm for 3:30 am,” Arianna thought and instantly stood up to do just as she had thought, she returned to bed thereafter.Arianna didn’t wake up until 5:30 am, thanks to the alarm.She struggled to open her eyes while rubbing her fingers
“Just wanted to know a few things about you, especially now that we’re friends” Arianna replied after a brief silence.“I think it’s best we focus on knowing each other and leave family out of this” Alice mentioned.“My bad” “Is there a reason you do not like talking about them?”“They stay right here in the pack right?” Arianna questioned.“But I just said we stop talking about family!” Alice yelled.“I wasn’t talking about them, I only asked random questions about them” Arianna snapped.“Okay, I’m sorry”“Nothing about family anymore,” Arianna said.“That would be better” Alice replied.“About the weird girl, my seatmate, do you know why she’s like that?”“No” Alice replied sharply.“I heard you two moved down here together, you should at least know a few things and her” Alice pestered.“Wait, is this a question and answer session?” Alice asked wearing a frown.“No”“We’re only getting to know ourselves better” Arianna replied.“Then let’s talk about ourselves! Talk about you” Alic
