CHAPTER 2
Starman college located at the northern side of California at Oakland was founded by early scholars and it has remained prestigious and has remained the most prestigious school in the whole of California and might be the best in the whole United states.I opened the mail and guess what, yep, I got accepted into Starman college, yayyyyy, I know right, the most prestigious college in California, not like I had any doubt that I would get in I mean its Charity Goldtown, if they didn’t accept me who would they accept.I was so happy and excited, yayy I’m a star now, that’s what they call students from Starman “stars”I was still having my moment when my mom cut in“Davis got accepted too to study the same course, guess your academic rivalry continued” she said and that was a kill joy“What?” I asked and she nodded and left for work. *********Davis was going to the same college as me, Davis! the same Davis I hated a lot.Davis Garraway had always been a painful thorn in my flesh since the day we moved to California.The day we arrived in the neighborhood, while other kids tried to make me feel welcomed, Davis spilled hot coco on me on purpose and he laughed while I felt embarrassed.In school, we went toe to toe in each class, he would always ensure he defeated me and when he did, he would send kindergartens to my window and they would sing me the loser song.“You are a loser, a big fat loser, a loser, a loser, a loser, a loser, L O S E R “I could still remember the song like it was yesterday. In high school he made everyone believe I was a weirdo and most people avoided me, when I was bullied, he would come to my rescue which I hated a lot and he would tell everyone that he was the only one allowed to bully then after he would force me to say thank you to him a zillion times as a sign of appreciation. Davis was the devil in human form and everyday he just got worse and treated me worse, then in high school I had a zit on my nose once in eighth grade and he said I looked like a goblin, yep that was how my famous nickname came about. The whole had joined him afterwards and then he forbade them from calling me goblin that only him had the right to. Like what does he think of himself? because he has nice jaw line, perfect abs dreamy eyes and… whoa whoa whoa we missing the point here, scrape those lines out that was meant to be there. The point is in my eyes Davis Garraway had horns strapped to his head and a tail with an evil laugh. Now I have to go to college with him too and let my 5 years be tormented by the devil.“Thank you so much universe for never allowing anything go in my favor, trust me you are the best” I said sarcastically when I noticed my window was moving. “who’s there you better speak up now I have a riffle with me” I said with fright as I heard chuckles then finally a head poked in and the hair was a light as curly wave, I don’t need to tell you who.“What are you doing here?” I asked as he continued climbing until he was inside my room, “what are you doing here Garraway?” I asked again as I gave him an unwelcoming look.“nice room goblin but its rather small, my room should be thrice this” he continued and I paid no attention. I imagined drawing the horns and tail with the evil laughter.“You will still look hot as a devil” I blurted out“What?” he asked confusedWhat did you just blurt out girl, I don’t know it just came out, how did it come out I thought we were enjoying drawing horns and a tail on him, me too, go fix it.“I wasn’t talking to you” I replied and I moved away to avoid further questions, then I remembered it was my room and he was still there, “what are you still doing here” I asked trying to change the subject“Well since you are done with your usual weirdness, I came to give you good news”“What news can be better than hearing you have ceased to exist in the world again” I said as I laughed and stared at me for a while.Did Davis Garraway just smile at you laughing, no he didn’t subconscious, I swear I just saw him smiling, get out of my head.“Ha ha very funny goblin, well to tell that I’ve been accepted into Starman too and guess who you would not be getting g rid of anytime soon?” he asked as he pointed at himself and my momentarily laughter was suspended as my face went pale. “that’s good enough news right, now I’ll get going goblin byeeee” he concluded dramatically.I guess that ruined the entire evening for me.CHAPTER 3 The Garraways were well known in California and around the world as Mike and Stacy Garraway, renowned astronomer and CEO of the Garraway group of hotels and suite respectively were married with two kids, Davis, no need for introduction and Mitchell, a 6-year-old bright ash haired, green eyes girl who was the pride of the family. The Garraways were richer than the city’s mayor although they don’t show off, well maybe not all of them. Davis was known to buy new cars each day a new model had been released and ensured he wore nothing less than designers made by only three specific designers; Louis Vuitton, D&G and his all-time favorite Gucci. Davis had been known all over the neighborhood and he did not give a single fuck about. His parents on the other hand were mostly never around given the nature of their job and Mitchell had a nanny to look after her. Since we moved to California, the Garraways were always involved in one of our shits. Yep if anything had happened with our
Chapter 4 The morning was bright, the sun was shining so bright like it was its last day to shine. The birds were hyperactive as the sang melodious tunes and jumped through branches. I knew it was a good day. I went to the window side to get fresh air, then I saw Davis packing his bags already, he turned around and saw me staring at him. “Why are you peeping through my window goblin, go find help goblin while you still can, “this obsession you have with me is getting out of hand” he smirked and winked at me while he closed his window. “His nerves” I grunted as I shut mine He was annoyingly going to the same college I got accepted into, turns out I won’t be getting rid of Davis Garraway any time soon, yayy. I went and took my bath then I started packing. “Peach are you not done yet? we have a long trip ahead of us” my mom screamed from down stairs. “I’m almost done mom’’ I replied as I continued. ********* As soon as I finished, I quickly went down to the kitchen to have some
Chapter 5 I got out of the car and I looked up and saw it Starman college. It was as beautiful as I had imagined it was way bigger than I imagined too. This college was known to be one of the best in California like I mentioned earlier, with its recommendations and grade A teachers you were already on a path to a bountiful and respectable future if you were accepted. I stared at it for a while and I was imagining my road map to becoming the best international lawyer the world has seen when my mom spoke. “This is the big one peach, this is the big one, this is the big one” my mom said as she burst out in tears, I knew she was emotional she probably could not believe she was able to pull it off and provide me a good life. “Mom mom no no mom not this, not now” I tried to comfort her. “I know, I know, it’s just that you’ve grown up so well that I’m so proud, look at you, you are standing right in front of Starman and see you becoming the star you are fated to become already” She conti
Chapter 6My mom prepared my life’s blue print, and in the blue print one of the important details there was the kind of people I had to interact with, the kind of friends I was to make and the kind of people I should have business with. The blueprint only allowed me to mingle with the rich, the smart, straight, famous and prestigious people and anything asides that was banned.My mom had barged into my hostel room when I was just about to talk and yep it wasn’t a friendly scene.“Are these indecent girls going to share a room with you peach?” she asked me as I tried to shut her up“Who the hell are you guys” she asked while analyzing the two British girls that were in the room I got assigned to.“Um this is our room” the second girl answered in a rude tone.“Ohh no the both of you can not be in this room” my mom added“And why can’t we ma’am” the first girl asked“Cos my peach is in this room and my peach cannot be found sharing a room with you guys” she added as she pointed at them
Chapter 7Peach, the nickname my mom called me. Since I was a child, I have never heard her calling me Charity, it is always: Peach, my Peach, darling Peach. I guess the name equally made her feel she had to protect me from the world. Whenever I was found derailing from the blue print she would get mad and just transfer it all on the people around. One time in middle school I made friends with a gay girl, Bennie and my mom freaked out when she found out about it. ******“Hey you disgrace to nature; you must have deceived my Peach into becoming friends with you cos Peach does not mingle with your kind” she spoke“Mom please it was my fault, I approached her”“No Peach you do not have to defend her, I know her type and I know you” *********After that day Bennie never spoke to me again and I do not blame her, I would not speak to me too if I was in her position. Gays avoided me in middle school, in fact everyone avoided me becau
Chapter 8“Fine I’ll will go”. I got ready and we left for the party, well by ready I do not actually mean that I wore sexy clothes or anything, nope It was just mu usual hoodie and jeans.“Yuck what is that, all that” Tiffany asked as she pointed at what I was putting on“I told you; you made a mistake by inviting her” Sam added as she laughed“What are you wearing, what exactly are you wearing” Tiffany continued“I don’t know clothes?” I asked sarcastically“No, no, no, certainly no” she added as Sam continued laughing“There is no way you are going with me dressed like that, I mean you look so…...” she continued as she looked at meme awkwardly“I told you already that if I was going to go to this party then I would dress the way I like and feel comfortable in and there is nothing absolutely you can say or do to make me change my mind” I said as I gave her a fake smile.“At least pull off the hoodie and find a better top” she said“Absolutely nothing” I concluded as I looked away“Fi
Chapter 9I was already used to Davis’s bullying since we were in preschool. I mean Davis had always bullied me, he would call me ugly, break my glasses, laugh at me whenever he passed me in class, throw away my food, call me goblin, drag my hair, force me to be his slave and many more and then whenever he helped me and saved me from being bullied by others he would feel like a king who just saved his people or a hero in a movie Akshay Kumar starred, you know when Akshay saves the heroine, he has this moment where he is allowed to walk in with slow Mo and then his hair is flipped by the wind, yep that kind of scene. In high school I was made to follow him anywhere he went for 2 months just because a kid named Rolley called me goblin and then hero Davis Kumar walks in a shuns him from it then tells him only he has the right to call me goblin and that if he ever hears anyone calling me a goblin he would cut his tongue out, yep a drama queen, I had skipped a lot of classes because I was
Chapter 10Davis Garraway and I have not been the best of friends all these years. We were always at each other, at school, at home and everywhere in between. Davis had always bullied me that sometimes I cried. On my 10th birthday party although I didn’t invite him, I never would, my mom invited him. The party was going smoothly, my mom invited friends and I had invited mine too, then the one and only Davis Garraway made his entrance to my party and yep he made sure his entrance was grand. You should have known what he can do, yeah I know now back to the story. His entrance was grand, the party became all about him, yeah typical Garraway. Then when the type for the presentation of gifts came, everyone gave me remarkable gifts then Davis stood and watched them, then he claimed last to present the gift. He handed his gift over to me and just when I was about to keep it in the pile where other gifts were.“Why don’t you open mine right now” Davis said out loud as the entire crowd’s atten
