Chapter 41: Chapter 41
**A week and some days later**
“So we are going to be resuming tomorrow?” Ellie asked while Elsa rolled her eyes at her question.
“Yes, we are.” Elsa replied gruffly. Ellie murmured and pouted her lips.
“Wait, and also we will be having our tests?.” She asked again.
“Ellie, stop behaving like you are some dullard.” Elsa groaned and rubbed her forehead.
“I have missed Jayson's cute face and his ever shining white hair.” Ellie said with dreamy eyes.
“And the scenes repeats itself all over again.” Elsa scoffed and laid on bed.
“Oh, please. You got lucky that you saw him several times during the break.” Ellie said.
“Hey, we have not packed out things yet, get up.” Ellie said, trying to pull her up.
“Leave me alone Ellie, I am so tired.” Elsa muttered and turned around on bed making her lay on her stomach.
“We have to prepare for tomorrow.” Ellie replied.
“Okay, okay. Let me go.” Elsa said and stood up. They packed the things they needed and sat on the bed.
They both sighed and went in to their world of thoughts.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The alarm rang. They both tossed around on the bed. They murmured incoherently and dozed off.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
It rang again and this time, Ellie sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked around and saw that it was already morning. She stood up and stretched out her bones. She moved her head in semi circle manner, it made some sounds. She saw her sister still laying on the bed, she sighed.
She went over to the door and opened it.
“What is it by time by the way?” She thought and yawned.
She looked up and saw that the short hand of the clock was on five and long hand was on eight.
“05:45 AM.” She said and sat down.
“Hey, dummy. You are going to school.” The voice yelled in her head. She sprang up immediately and looked around.
“School? Yes, we are going to school.” She said as if she had just remembered something very important.
“Elsa.” She called out as she tapped her sister.
“What? Leave me alone. I want to sleep.” Elsa muttered sleepily.
“Hey, wake up. We are going to school, have you forgotten?” She asked. Immediately Elsa heard the word ‘school', she sat up and looked around. She squinted her eyes and shook her head to get rid of any sleep that remained.
“I am so tired.” She said as she stretched out her bones. She saw that Ellie was already pulling off her clothes to go bath.
“After you.” She said and went out of the room.
Rachel had already woken and was pulling the curtains up.
“Good morning, granny.” She greeted.
“Good morning, Elsa.” Rachel replied.
“Are you not going to bath for school?” She asked.
“Ellie is using the bathroom. After she’s done.” Elsa said and went into the kitchen.
“You don’t need to do anything. I will prepare breakfast. All you need to do is bath and wear your clothes turn you come downstairs.” She said.
“Okay, if you insist.” Elsa said though she was still sleepy.

“Are you done, Ellie?” She shouted out to her sister.
“Almost.” Ellie replied shouting out of the shower to her.
“Hey, you gotta be quick. We are running late already.” She said and Ellie turned off the tap. She stepped out clad in towel and walked over to the mirror.
“Gosh, you took so long. Was thinking if you wanted to…”
“Spend the rest of your life in there.” Ellie completed it for her. Elsa clamped her lips shut and looked away.
“I will be in there.” She said and went into the toilet.

“Jayson, have you forgotten you are going to school?” Helen's childish voice said into his ears. Jayson jerked up immediately and rubbed his ears. The feeling was ticklish. He looked around saw his sister seated right in front of him with lips raised into a smirk.
“And ain't you gonna prepare to?” He asked as he rubbed his forehead.
“Seems like you are blind. Can't you see I am already dressed?” She asked as she stood up and turned around for him to get a clearer view of her. He hissed out and stood up. He gripped his hair gently and brushed it with his hands.
“Can you please excuse me? I need privacy.” He said, almost politely, not trying to sound rude because he knows how troublesome she could be.
“Am I disturbing you? Oh, you need privacy. I will give you that.” She said and smiled. She opened the drawer next to her and brought out a dark shade. She put it on enthusiastically and smiled at him.
“And here is your privacy.” She said and he narrowed his eyebrows. He sighed and did a few press ups before going to the bathroom.
After few minutes, he came out with dampened hair and water dripping all over his body.
“Seven minutes, forty eight seconds.” Helen said.
“What? You are still here?” He asked.
“I said you used seven minutes, forty eight seconds in the bathroom. Tell me, don’t you bath?” She asked.
“I asked why you are still in my room.” He snorted.
“I need to change.” He said.
“Come downstairs after you are done. I can come if you need a time keeper.” She said and smiled then frowned. She stood up and exited the room.
“Hey, you..” He stopped talking. She did not close his door. He scoffed and opened his wardrobe. He brought out his uniform and wore it.

Julia looked up and saw her brother. Yes, he was her brother. Even if he was not. She smiled at his handsomeness. If only people knew who she was to him, she would have had a long roll of friends but she's quite okay with the ones she has. Although one of them is infatuated with him, she thinks it is just some crush or so. Little did she know.
“Good morning dad and mom.” He greeted as he took a seat beside Helen. He looked to his right side and saw Helen. He gulped down hard and smiled helplessly.
“I am so in for it.” He thought and side glanced at his sister.
She smiled back.
