Alice
I 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
AliceI had just returned from lunch and was to gist Pearl all that happened but his face was disturbing and full of fear when I sighted her.I settled first and asked; "Pearl, what's going on?""They had find out that Raymond's result was changed indeed, they are presently investigating those that changed it." Pearl said and my heart skipped fearfully.If we are caught, it's an automatic expulsion for me.That would be a bad news for my poor mom and dad."Why don't you confess to the head boy, maybe he can help us...he likes you and will protect you." Pearl said."Imagine that you are the head boy and someone came to confess to you that he changed your result....remember it led to his public disgrace, how would you feel?" I asked."I'll feel bad, indeed." Pearl said and turned back to her desk."We would be expelled if we are c
AliceI turned to Albert even as my stomach rumbled in fear, I looked at Pearl but she was absolutely indifferent.She just kept drinking her ice cream.I turned back to Raymond who had not uttered a word.He should at least say something.When I realized, he would not say a word, I turned from him and fully turned to Albert.He started walking while I followed, Pearl joined us.She caught up with me and said; "We are finally getting fired, drink your ice cream so you would not have hypertension." She said but I didn't say a wordI was so scared and thinking of my mom.I do not like to put my parents into sadness this time, they do not even have the money to send me to school, I was only lucky by securing a scholarship to kochi college and now I'm about to lose it.
Head Boy.AlicePearl and I were not In lines of our class, we just hung around with the teachers that were staying behind the student like soldiers.Each teacher stays behind the class they manage, none of them asked us why we didn't join the line which was unusual.They probably knew Pearl and I had been expelled and was only playing around."Alice, see that." Pearl alerted me and pointed to the stage.I gaped and saw the head boy with microphone in his mouth, it's my first time seeing the head boy address the students since he was appointed as the head boy.He really looked cute on stage, his face was colder than it use to be. I can't say he looks angry cause his face does not absolutely express anger.I was stunned when I saw him challenge the principal for a debate.Everyone knew it
AliceI was stunned Donald appeared on the stage and came to hug me. I have no idea what he did that for."March inside." Raymond declared and everyone started marching inside.Donald had already made everyone believe that a relationship subsist bbetween he and I, I knew he said he loves me but isn't his act to me now too odd.Raymond walked to where Leonard and Donald stood. They walked away.Pearl and I also started walking out of the assembly hall.As soon as we got out of the assembly hall, Pearl jumped up happily."What?"I questioned." The ice creams..." She said and her face melted quickly into a pathetic one. "I thought I had lost free ice cream."Her face lightened up quickly again as she jumped up happily.I shook my head and dragged her.
AliceI was wondering how it was possible for Raymond to tell me to come and not be around.Well, maybe where he went was urgent, I'd probably check on him tomorrow.I was still around the house, walking sullenly when I saw a lady and a guy beside her walking together.I examined them and noticed that it was Rose, I took two steps further to have a view of the guy beside her and it was Raymond.Thought Leonard had said Raymond was not around.I stood and watched Raymond and Rose as they took a walk.So Rose is back? and they are getting along so quick.Ouch? why do I feel jealous now? I had thought he prefer being with me than being with Rose.He's a rich kid, it does not take him anything to change his mind.I watched them for few more minutes and walked hom
AliceWe both walked inside Marie's little mansion, as Marie saw me, he ran to me and I carried him and hugged him."Marie, you look more beautiful today?" I said and he jumped down from me and wiggled his tail to my legs.I chuckled and spãnked him playfully at his @-ss."There is no study room here, but it's safe for you to be here. many people hate you." Raymond said and I sat on one of the chairs in Marie's house."Why do they hate me?" I asked gently."Would you close the door?" He asked and I nodded instinctively.I went swiftly to the door and closed the door."Marie, I want to teach Elsie, would you excuse us?" Raymond asked Marie.Marie nodded and walked away."I will like to have a dog like Marie?" I said happily, my thirty two was shinning.
Raymond"Who closed the door on us?" I asked Rose.I reasoned that she might have an idea of who closed the door on us."Does that matter? nothing outrageous would happen between us, I'm not a slü---T." She replied."I didn't even call you one. I feel uncomfortable with a grown up adult like you in the same room at night." I said."Like I said, I have no odd thoughts, Let's just have fun, please." She said and I stared at her.I sat and asked; "What's the fun?""Erm..." She stressed and came to sit beside me.She placed her hand on my shoulder and said; "Can you tell me a bed time story?""I'm not a story teller." I replied sharply."You must, please..., please Raymond, please baby." Her plead was more like a mø--@n."Okay." I said and
AliceI was still inside the empty room with Raymond, I had closed the door and was now standing close to him."What perfume do you use?" He asked and I arched my brow in surprise.I took my nose to my shoulder and snīffed my cloth, I couldn't really perceive anything.Am I smelling?I took steps back embarassedly, how come this silly Pearl never told me I have body odour?"Why are you moving back?" He asked.I shook my head in response and took two more steps back leaving a wide space between us."You think you are smelling?" He asked."Yes...I used soap to bath and I used cream too?" I said sadly.I feel so ashamed that I smell before the head boy."Hum! But I never said you are smelling, I only asked what perfume you use?" He asked.
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
