Alice's POV
I stood and walked to where Raymond stood, he was at the edge of the small fence at the backyard staring at the streets.
"I thought I'm acting as your girlfriend? can't we talk." I asked but he didn't flinch.
I went to the other side of him and clapped, maybe he would hear and sight me.
I felt like tapping him and telling him that I've been speaking to him, he might be deaf at a time like this, who knows?
"Your disturbance is irritating." He said and walked away from me.
He walked to the left side of the yard with his two hands on his pocket.
I felt embarrassed and leaned on the little fence that he had just walked away from.
I didn't say any word again, I went to the right side of the yard to sit.
We were now facing each other but in a distance.
<Alice's POV"Yes, I'm his girlfriend." I answered Rose.Why would I ever tell her that I was only acting as Raymond's girlfriend, he would definitely collect the money he has given me back.I could see Raymond looking away, he had fixed his eyes on me when Rose had asked if I was his girlfriend.Rose pushed me away and stood."I don't believe it...Leonard, Is this true? Why do I feel like she's not a girlfriend to Raymond?" She yelled almost crying.No one replied, Rose lowered her head sadly and suddenly raised it up, she said; "Kiss Raymond if you are truly lovers."Raymond's face lightened and I smiled.As an acting girlfriend, I should be able to do what his girlfriend could do."You still don't believe me, Rose? I'll kiss him." I was peeking at Raymond with a side of my
Leonard's POVMy eyes sparkled in anger, what did I just see. I had to pinch myself to be sure that I was not dreaming.My hatred for Alice increased, I felt like carrying her and throwing her inside hot fire.Why would she let Raymond kiss her, I was so furious.Rose saw that they kissed, tears poured like rain from her face.According to the agreement she had made with Alice, she began to pack her belongings.I felt like crying as I watched Rose phone her driver to come and pick her.She carried her luggage and walked out without saying a word.I followed her leaving Raymond and Alice behind."Rose!" I called and she paused.She stared into my face thinly waiting for what I wanted to say."I'm so sorry for what Raymond did?" I said.&n
Monday morningAlice's POVI was done eating my breakfast, it's a few minutes past 7AM. I stood and went to hug my mom who was seated on the chair.She had been back home and now on drugs."Be careful, Alice." She warned as I disengaged the hug."I promise mom." My smile was bright.I went to where my bicycle was and rode to school, it was a fifteen minutes ride by bicycle and thirty minutes distance by walk.After I arrived at school, I parked my bicycle at the garage, I stood and watched many big and exorbitant car of students.One day, I would have a car too.I turned and sauntered happily to my class, I must have missed a lot in these four weeks of my absense.My class was on the second floor, I climbed the stairs and on my way, I met the head girl, the a
Head Boy.Alice's POV"Hum!..." Raymond looked at me seated on the bare floor, he stretched his right hand and I held it."You should stay away from her in the future?" The head boy said said the head girl and walked me to one of their base.The base is a small house that was reserved for the high class prefect."I'll order that a new uniform be brought, go in there and clean up." He said referring to the bathroom.I couldn't believe my eyes, I walked sheepishly to the bathroom and cleaned up.I had a tøwel around my body and I was nervous to walk out, he would see me with tówel only.I heard a knock on the bathroom and I stood stiffed. I went to lock the door tight.Why did he think he can see me this way?The knock continued but I did not respond.
Leonard's POVWe had returned from school and now at home.Raymond, Donald I were seated in the living room with mama Any."I can't believe you kissed that lady." Mama Any rebuked Raymond.We respect mama Any so much cause she had been our nanny for a very long time especially for Raymond.She's old and should be around her sixties but she's smart in look and awesome."Mama...It was a game, I have nothing in common with the poor girl." Raymond answered politely."I do not believe that, Leonard also told me she attends the same school as you, and that you saved her from bullies today. Is that true?" Mama Any asked."Yes mama, I did that cause.... I don't know but trust me mama, she's only a poor girl." Raymond said."It hurts me that you made Rose leave, you know how much Rose love
Alice's POV-Friday-It was morning and the morning sun shone on Pearl and I as we hung around the school, it was few minutes to 7AM, we still have about an hour till it will be time for the assembly."With what you told me about Raymond , telling you to leave Albert and go to your class, don't you think he might just pick you at the quiz today ,there are rumours that the head boy might have took interest in you." Pearl, my best friend said."Raymond is cold hearted and dangerous, did you see how he suspended me for good four weeks, you have no idea how hard I had been reading to cover up for the four weeks I missed, he could just expel me....I'm scared of what he may do....though, if he tries nonsense next time, I will still slap him." I said."So he can kiss you in return." Pearl said and we both laughed."Let's get ice cream." She said and
Chapter 25Alice's POVPearl ran to me and pouted her lips.Raymond had faded out of sight."Tell me what just happened? I couldn't introde, I was scared." Pearl asked, with so much curiosity.She will hit my head angirly if I hide the gist from her."I don't understand the head boy, my ice cream mistakenly fell on his legs but he bought a new one for me and also told the ice cream man that he should put all the bill of the ice cream I will be purchasing from now henceforth on him.""Are you serious?" Pearl screamed and jumped up happily.I was still recovering from the shock of what the head boy had just done."I said it, he likes you."
