Chapter 7: Chapter 7

"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 for a business proposition huh? Do I look stupid to you," I yelled and he just stared at me.

"I say no, am not getting married," I said with final tone.

"I wasn't asking," He said and stood up.

"I wasn't telling you either," I said angrily and walked out, banging the door hard.

He always seems to ruin my life..

Why can't Katherine get married huh?

He will just use the excuse that I am the eldest...

I never even got to ask him who the girl was..

I'm not gonna let anyone make a decision for me..

I stumped out of the house, entered my car and drove off..

The driver can rest for today..

I need to cool down..

FAST FORWARD ➡

♣Laura pov♣

I woke up yawning and stretching like a cat, theorically speaking I'm just so tired.

We all got ready for school, can you believe it.

I'm just so excited.

Let's just go to the school part really quick..

I walked side by side with the girls into the school.

It was expensive looking just like the orphanage.. I don't have any doubt that it's the orphans school..

The uniform was really classic and cute. I was gladly wearing mine..with a pair of shoes that I couldn't stop looking at.

"So what class are you going for?" Maddy asked.

"I can go to any class I want for this week, just to see how it is, before I choose," I said.

"I'm going to algebra class first," I said.

"Cool, let's go," Tammy said and walked me to a class room as I waved to the others.

"Here it is," She announced.

"Don't get too intimidated by others, this is a mixed school, both orphans and non-orphans attend," She said and I nodded.

"Here goes nothing," I muttered...

It's my first time.

"You'll be fine," She said as we stepped into the class and it was deadly silent.

Everyone was staring at us...at me..

Tammy dragged me to an empty seat, and sat close to me..

"What are you all looking at?" She asked and they all faced their business.

"Don't mind them, they do that always," She chuckled and I nodded.

Immediately someone banged the desk and said, "Hey,what are you doing on my seat."

I looked up and saw a three girls standing side by side and guess what?

Racheal was among... Nah, it's just a joke..

"Can you hear me? Scramble!" She yelled and all the attention was on us again.

"Both of you," The one at her right said.

Not wanting trouble, me and Tammy scrambled as we were told...

"I am sorry, I caused that," She said.

"No, you didn't," I said.

"Yes I did, all the seats has our names except for some like this one," She said pointing to the desk I was sitting on.

"So you have your seat?" I asked.

"Just kidding," She giggled softly and I frowned.

"Sorry," She laughed.

"Let's just sit here," I said and she nodded.

"I like here but that seat much better," She said pointing to that girls seat.

"The brunette?" I asked.

"Francesca," She said.

"Ok, but I don't care," I said and she rolled her eyes.

"She's the leader of their group, BBB girls," A girl beside Tammy said.

"Oh hi, Nelly," Tammy waved.

"How are you Tammy," She asked smiling.

"I am cool, Nelly," Tammy smiled.

"Laura meet Nelly, Nelly meet Laura," Tammy said.

"Pleasure, you're new right?" She asked and I nodded.

"Orphan or you know," She asked.

"Orphan," I said lowly.

"Me too," She smiled.

"BBB Girls, what does it mean," I asked.

"Brunette, blonde and Black girls," She said.

"Huh," I asked.

"Francesca is a brunette, Liliana is blonde while Dora is black haired," She said.

"So let me get this straight, they named their group from the colour of their hair?" I asked and they both nodded.

I looked forward, when I heard steps, I was probably expecting a teacher but I was Francisco....I mean Francesca and her friends.. I think.

"I don't want for ever see you girls on my seat again," She said with blazing eyes and I nodded rapidly..

"Good, now stay away from me," She said as they walked away..

Okay, why do I always get a new enemy and a new friend always in the same day...

A teacher with a big text book suddenly walked in...

"Bring out your text books," He said..

My first lesson, I am so excited...
