Chapter 51: Chapter 51

**Next Morning**

“Ellie, for goodness sake. What is it that you have been doing?” Elsa asked.

Ellie has been in the bathroom for the past one hour and still counting. Ellie started whistling as she scrubbed her body with the sponge.

“Elsa, I will soon be out.” She yelled.

“Be quick. I really want to use the bathroom.” Elsa said impatiently touching her abdomen.

After some minutes, Ellie stepped out of the bathroom and without further discussion, Elsa hurriedly ran into the bathroom. She emptied everything that had been stored up. She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

Ellie watched her sister rush in. She shook her head and went towards the dressing mirror.

After a while, Elsa came out also wrapped in a towel. She hurriedly used the lotion and wore her clothes. At this time Ellie already wore hers and was combing her hair.

Ellie went over to a corner and picked her shoes, she wore it and buckled up the lace.

Elsa finished wearing her clothes and using lotion. She wore her shoes also and bounced up in readiness. Ellie hurriedly applied some lip gloss.

“Are you ready?” Ellie asked her.

“Yeah, let’s go.” Elsa said and picked the book she was reading last night. Ellie beamed and they both exited their room.

“All students to the hall.” A voice spoke through the microphone. The students who were about to go have their breakfast stopped and turned on their heels towards the hall. Some grumbled in annoyance as they walked while some did not seem to care.

Ellie and Elsa walked along to the hall.

As they got to the entrance, the J-Stars were about to enter also. Jayson looked at Elsa but not for long as he walked inside before her, she followed then the rest. Ellie stood for all of them to enter and finally she did. She looked around and saw that Elsa had already mixed with the crowd.

She scoffed and stood where she was.

“Good day, our respectable stars.” The vice principal greeted with a smile on her face.

“Good day, ma'am.” The students chorused.

“Well you must all know why I am smiling.” She said. And they nodded.

“Our beloved stars has made us proud. They won the competition and added to our trophies.” She said.

“Well, I must say congratulations to us.” She said.

“And also this is to tell you that will we will be going out for fun for a week before we start the exam.” She said and the students smiled happily.

“Yay.” They all cheered.

“Few students will be selected.” She explained.

“Ohh.” Dismay crossed the face of the already excited students.

“Really sorry about that as you know that the population of our students is high.” She said.

They nodded in agreement.

“So we will set out tomorrow. Students that will be going will be called.” She said and stepped down.

“You are all dismissed.” The principal announced and the students dispersed.

“Wow. Going out for fun. Never knew that Shining Stars does that. What surprise does this school still have?” Ellie wondered as she walked through the corridor.

“Dummy. It is not just for fun. We will also learn some things.” Aria chuckled from behind. Ellie stopped walking and turned towards her.

“Oh, Aria. It's you.” She said.

“Yes and also how was your break?” She asked.

“Fine and yours?” Ellie asked as they continued to walk.

“It went well. Yes!, I have to go to the library. Will you love to tag along?” Aria asked.

“Ellie.” Elsa called out. Ellie was about to reply Aria but she turned to look at who called her.

“Elsa.” She said. Elsa motioned for her to come over. Ellie looked at Aria apologetically.

“It's nothing. Maybe next time.” Aria said even though deep down she was annoyed.

“Okay.” Ellie said with a little smile and walked off to meet her sister.

“I searched for all over the hall for you, where did you walk off to?.” Elsa complained.

“I think it should be the opposite. Because we were supposed to go inside together and you left me. You expect me to wait for you or search for you in a crowd like that.” Ellie said and uttered a snort. Elsa shook her head and continued walking.

“What do you think about what the vice principal said?” Ellie asked.

“Nothing. For as long as they go, I’m cool.” She said.

“You don’t want to go?” Ellie asked.

“No, I don’t want to go.” Elsa said.

“Elsa.” Julia said as she sat down. Elsa smiled a little at her.

“Where is Ellie?” She asked.

“She went to get her food.” Elsa replied.

“Oh, okay.” Julia said.

“And yes, by the way. I have always wanted to ask you a question.” Julia said after a while.

“And what is that about?” Elsa asked.

“That new student and you…” Julia trailed off.

“Julia, I don’t want to sound rude or harsh. The new student got nothing to do with me. So please stop asking such questions.” Elsa said trying to calm herself. Julia opened her mouth to talk but clamped it shut when no words seem to form.

“Hey, babe.” Ellie greeted as she took a seat beside her.

“Ellie.” Julia acknowledged her. Ellie smiled.

“What do you think of what the vice principal said?” She asked.

“I am excited. I really want to go.” Julia said and clapped her hands happily. Elsa snorted at their behavior.

“Oh, please. You are too boring, Elsa.” Julia said.

“I really want to go but they said they were picking few students so I don’t think I have the luck.” Ellie said sadly.

“You can't say.” Julia nudged at her.

“I just hope I can go.” Ellie said pouting.

Julia stomach growled loudly. Elsa's and Ellie's eyes scanned her. She cleared her throat.

“I have not eaten since morning is you can't blame me.” She said and hurriedly stood to get food.

They both chuckled at her.
