Leonard's POV
We had returned from school and now at home.
Raymond, Donald I were seated in the living room with mama Any.
"I can't believe you kissed that lady." Mama Any rebuked Raymond.
We respect mama Any so much cause she had been our nanny for a very long time especially for Raymond.
She's old and should be around her sixties but she's smart in look and awesome.
"Mama...It was a game, I have nothing in common with the poor girl." Raymond answered politely.
"I do not believe that, Leonard also told me she attends the same school as you, and that you saved her from bullies today. Is that true?" Mama Any asked.
"Yes mama, I did that cause.... I don't know but trust me mama, she's only a poor girl." Raymond said.
"It hurts me that you made Rose leave, you know how much Rose love
Alice's POV-Friday-It was morning and the morning sun shone on Pearl and I as we hung around the school, it was few minutes to 7AM, we still have about an hour till it will be time for the assembly."With what you told me about Raymond , telling you to leave Albert and go to your class, don't you think he might just pick you at the quiz today ,there are rumours that the head boy might have took interest in you." Pearl, my best friend said."Raymond is cold hearted and dangerous, did you see how he suspended me for good four weeks, you have no idea how hard I had been reading to cover up for the four weeks I missed, he could just expel me....I'm scared of what he may do....though, if he tries nonsense next time, I will still slap him." I said."So he can kiss you in return." Pearl said and we both laughed."Let's get ice cream." She said and
Chapter 25Alice's POVPearl ran to me and pouted her lips.Raymond had faded out of sight."Tell me what just happened? I couldn't introde, I was scared." Pearl asked, with so much curiosity.She will hit my head angirly if I hide the gist from her."I don't understand the head boy, my ice cream mistakenly fell on his legs but he bought a new one for me and also told the ice cream man that he should put all the bill of the ice cream I will be purchasing from now henceforth on him.""Are you serious?" Pearl screamed and jumped up happily.I was still recovering from the shock of what the head boy had just done."I said it, he likes you." She teased me and I shot her an annoying look but I was blushing inside."Remember you were owing me $50, the money we used
Alice's POVPearl and I arrived at my house, the door were locked and a sealed carbon paper was on the ground.I picked it and saw a substantial amount of money on it."But who could this person be?" Pearl asked."An helper, I guess." I replied.I opened the door and walked inside, I changed into a different drëss. Pearl also changed into one of my drêss.We've got same stature so my clothes fits her well.We walked away swiftly and chattered a car to the airport, we went to the emergency department and told them how important where we were going was.After examining our words, they told us to wait for another one hour, we would be following the 2PM flight to California.Pearl and I went to sit on the chairs, waiting for one hour to reach so we can fly to California.
Alice's POVPearl and I were suppose to be chatting as we seated waiting for the the 2PM flight but I wasn't in the mood. She tried to bring up conversations severally but I was not active in replying.I was wondering what position my mom would be, for her not to be treated in an hospital here, then it must be very critical.My phone rang and I didn't even notice, it was Pearl that alerted me. I had been lost in thought.I wish that it was my dad, I had dialed his number severally but it was not going through.I picked it up and his voice came!"Did you come home, Alice?" He asked."Sure dad, are you at California already?" I asked.He paused for few seconds and later said; "California?""Yes....Aren't you there?" I asked.The way he pronounced 'California' w

The crowd echoed.Everywhere was tense, some are of the opine that Albert and his brothers would win, some are of the opine that Raymond and his brothers would win.Whichever way, I'm so optimistic as always that we would win.The quiz began, it went on and on for the next eight minutes."Just 12 minutes to 2PM, the quiz had being tough so far between the top best classes at Kochi colleage.

Head Boy.Written by Feathers.Chapter 30Alice's POVI had almost got to the crowd when I heard my name being called by the head boy. I closed my eye and pinched myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming.I was still facing the crowd and backing the head boy and his brothers.My eyes opened and it met with that of Pearl, she was winking happily at me. I could see so much enthusiasm in her.But, could it be my own Alice Anderson?I turned nevertheless to the head boy and his brothers and I saw him staring at me.I blushed and walked with my head slightly lowered to him.The crowd began to clap and chant my name; "Alice! Alice! Alice!"They were hailing me like I had won what many people had hope that they would win.I felt victor
Head BoyWritten by Feathers.Chapter 32Alice's POVI placed Marie on the floor and he began to wiggle his tail happily.Raymond sat still, not looking at my face nor speaking to me."Marie! She's here, are you happy now?" I heard him ask his dog.Shouldn't he at least tell me to sit?Well, I sat and watched him and his dog as they converse.The dog rubbed his head on his lap and ran inside, the dog came back with a picture and he showed it to Raymond."Marie! Why are you like this?" Raymond asked and Marie barked expressing his dissatisfaction at Raymond's word."Sorry, but... She's petty and would think odd... I'm sorry, I can't do this for you." Raymond said said Marie and Marie stared sadly at Raymond.He walked to the
AliceI was standing with the head girl at the perfect stand pole in the assembly hall. All prefects were on tag so anyone would have easily known that I came late and was ready to be punished.I waited till the usual assembly events unfolded, the head girl whispered to the assembly prefect and she went on stage to whisper to Leonard who was addressing the students after the principal’s speech.Leonard nodded in response to what the assembly prefect told him and he faced the student and said; “Something quiet fun, yet demeaning is about to happen.”The crowds began to murmur, wondering what was about to happen.“Unlikes others who arrived late and will serve their punishment after the assembly hour, there is a female student that will be serving her punishment differently.” Leonard said and the murmur continued amidst the student.“Guess what she will be doing?” Leonard chuckled
Alice.Raymond and I arrived at England, it was so beautiful being in the plane with him.We both lodged at one of the most expensive hotel.After we settled in the room, I had changed into a white gown while he was on a casual dress.We planned on staying in England for three weeks before returning to America."Sorry to disturb you, but what food would you like us to serve?" A white screen that was inbuilt in the wall turned on and someome spoke from there."Can you see us?" I asked the woman."Of course not, but you can see me which is most important." The woman answered."Better! " I said and then ordered for a type of food.In a jiffy, the door spoke; "You have a server at the entrance, should I open?""The door is speaking?" I asked as I turned t
Alice.It was finally the week of our examination, I knew I was not as brilliant as Raymond but I tried my best to read as much as I could.Plus Raymond explained practically all topics that seems complicated to me.Raymond had said we should go to the school's VIP restaurant. As we arrived there, we walked in and was surprised to see Donald and Pearl sitting before each other and having a meal together.I only waved at Pearl while Raymond shot his brother a bright smile.We both went to sit.Raymond ordered for food."You didn't ask for what food I like, what kind of boyfriend act that way?" I asked."Who said I'm your boyfriend? You are not my girlfriend and I've not yet declared that we are in a relationship." He said."But you said I will be your girlfriend once I come out in flying colo
Donald.Mama Any walked in and stood akimbo and she saw all of us seated. The atmosphere was warm."Sir, is anything the matter?" Mama Any asked and Raymond's father explained what we just told her.Mama Any gaped at Leonard and walked to her."It's not the end of the world." She said to her.I stood so mama Any could sit beside her, Mama Any felt so pathetic for Leonard."And what is Alice doing here?" She threw the question up in the air."I have no idea but I won't force my son to do anything again, I realize I will be enslaving him if I insist he does what I want, it's his life , he can live it anyway he wants." Raymond's father said."But you can't do that sir, seeing that Rose's father and you agreed that they will marry in the future, I do not want any quarrel with this family and Rose's family." Mama
"She is fine." The doctor answered and I smiled happily. Joy could be seen all over me."She is healed, allow her to rest a little."The doctor said and walked away.I turned to Raymond who didn't seem to be looking at me but seems to be hearing my conversation with the doctorNevertheles, I still felt so happy to inform him that I was fine." Raymond!" I called and went to sit beside him "Mom is fine, thanks for everything?""I didn't even give you money, you shouldn't thank me, thank your modelling skills." He said."But you taught me, right?"I asked and he stood." Let's eat together at the restaurant while your mom rest, by the time we come back, we would be able to transport her home." He said and we both walked out.Donald.Leonard had been sad ever since we came back from t
Raymond."Make love with me? Really? Inpregenate me or what?""I meant that I will prepare love for you, don't think negative." He said and glanced at me."Oh! why would I think weird, I was just wondering if it was possible to prepare love , is it food?" I asked."Don't ask too many questions, to prepare love means planning to love someone. So when I say; Make love with you, I meant that, I was preparing to fall in love with you." He said and I chuckled."Hannn....head boy, you can lie....well, it's good you are preparing to love me." I said.Leonard."Tomorrow is the beauty contest, do you think Alice would have find any medium to participate in the beauty contest, Raymond can be very clever?" I asked."I doubt that, Alice is not worthy of being a contender, that is if she had smuggled her way in to
Alice.Albert stood before Pearl and I and shot me affectionate look, the look on my face was that of disdain.Mysteriously, it seems like all the feelings I have for him in the past is dead."Albert, I do not need you to buy Ice cream for me." I let out."May be not, I wish too. " He said.Donald signalled for Pearl to follow him to the Ice cream man leaving Albert and I behind.I tried to walk away from Albert but he held my wrist tight."Are you going to walk away from me?"He asked.I looked at his hand on my wrist and already felt like throwing a slap to his face but I cautioned myself." Don't create a scandal around me, we are no more in a relationship, you can't just hold my wrist when I have not allowed you too." I said."Do you forget so easily how we us
.Alice.Raymond let go of my hand and took his away, but his eyes were still fixed on mine as if he forgot something there."Head boy, do you like my face too?" I asked.Before I could close my mouth after asking the question, Raymond already spoken, he said; "No.""Ouch! that hurts!" I uttered almost cryingI folded my arms and looked away.I won't ask such question again in the future, I think I'm being too forward"We would be going to school tomorrow, make sure you come early." He said and stood."Tomorrow is Friday, I might just sleep at home." I said."Lazy dummy." He uttered and walked to his room.I need to start going home to do few stuffs, I walked to his room and said; "I'm going home Raymond, we woul
.Alice.I had never seen nor heard Raymond talk weak before, when I called him, his voice was low, depressed and sad.I was very unhappy when he informed me that Marie died, Marie couldn't have died for no reason, I should believe that some people were behind it.I arrived at Raymond's floor, he was already dressed and was leaning by the wall of his room"Alice!" He called and I walked to him gently."I'm sorry for the loss of Marie." I said and stood very close to him.I wanted to hug him to comfort him but I do not know how he would react, people say a sad man gets angry easily.I would not like him to get angry especially at a time like that."Let's leave." He said and walked away from me.Thank goodness I did not make any attempt to hug him.
.AliceI stood before Raymond, I was stunned that he had came to invite me over to his house in this middle of the night"I've not shower for the night." I said softly."You can do that in my place." He answered and I nodded.I followed him to his car and got in.As he drove, I said; "Head boy, do you really come because you want to teach me or because.... you miss me?""Why do you think like that....Ouch! pathetic!" He said and continued driving."Head boy, answer my question." I insisted."What question? Does it even make sense to miss someone you didn't like? Come off that thought and think straight. I just wanted to teach you what you did not understand." He answered."Since you were not sleeping at a time like this, I have an assumption tha
