Swirling around the mirror for the last and checking my outfit to make sure that it was suitable for a ride to the airport, I blew my reflection a kiss.I put on an ash maxi skirt that sat prettily on my waist, below my navel button and a crop top that barely passed my chest region and a black platform heels to complete the outfit.Skye was due to drop by any minute. He had called earlier to inform me that Kylie had landed successfully.Hearing the news had made me squeal and immediately called Kylie after Skye had dropped his call."Were you ever going to tell me that you're in my town?" I said to Kylie."I wanted to surprise you." She'd replied, "But I guess, that's not happening anytime soon anymore.""You bet." I laughed. "There was no way your surprise would have worked out anymore, because I was still going to pick you up."We'd talked and gossiped some more, while I busied myself with getting ready.I smiled and shook my head, when my cell phone rang. It was skye calling. "I'm
It was as Skye had said.Kylie stood in front of the Jet with her luggages in front of her. She had packed neatly and was looking smart, not pregnant."Kylie?" I muttered under my breath before taking to my heels.Sighting me from afar off, her lips parted open and then split into a beautiful smile.."Steyn?" She said with raised brows, enveloping me into a warm hug, "it's only been a few months and you're already grown."I smiled. "You can stop teasing me now." I told her, "I've missed you so much!" I hugged her tightly, feeling her shiver next to me and she hugged me back…very tightly so."I know." She replied. "Oh my god!""You're doing fine, right?" I asked.Sighing, she replied, "I'm good. Just still trying to believe that you'll go this length for me. How did you do it?"I smiled. "Let's just say I have my ways." I winked at her.Telling her about Skye and I wasn't something I dreamt about, I couldn't even bring myself to do it because I was scared that she'd see me in another
"You know, when I first got pregnant, I was scared and didn't even know what to do." Kylie told me, taking off the waist trainer to reveal a red long mark around her tummy caused by the waist trainer. "I cried my eyes most days and avoided going out because I thought that people would notice my bump.""I doubt." I piped in. "Your tummy is so small, and you don't look pregnant."She nodded, smiling. "I know that, Steyn. Soon, I discovered that I couldn't stay indoors anymore and I had to go to school so I began using the waist trainer." She sighed, looking at me. It wasn't easy at all because I struggled with the urge to puke every second and the not so comfortable condition I was in. But it helped." She looked at me one last time."It's all okay now." I took the waist trainer from her and rubbed her shoulder. "You have me now, so you don't have to worry about anything."Turning, I looked around for Skye, seeking some sort of reaffirmation from him, but it seemed he'd gone farther into
Promising kylie that I would stop by in the evening to see her the next day, I got in the passenger side of Skye's car and we drove off.After the conversation with Skye and me last night, everything didn't just feel right. If anything, I felt like I had been played all along or was used the right thing to say?I wanted to talk about it but I couldn't think of a way to bring it up without sounding lost.We rode in silence for a long time until Skye said, "home, right?"I nodded, not trusting my voice."Okay." He said again, not taking his eyes off the road."Do you think you can take me to see Kylie tomorrow?" I asked."Sure. Why not?" He looked at me for the first time that day."Nothing." I retorted. "I just wanted to make sure.""I can make time for that." He nodded. "Music?" He asked."Yeah." I smiled."What's your preference?" He asked, smiling at me."Hip hop?" I retorted rhetorically, grinning. "Anything to nod to.""I got you." He smiled, turning on the volume. "Uh, I don't t
It was exhilarating to think of how he switched from being this cool and sensible guy to the total opposite in minutes, I thought, barging into my house.I dumped my bag on the cushion and scurried into the kitchen to look for something to drink."Whoosh!" I yelled, thumping loudly on the table. It was difficult thinking straight when you had other things on your mind.Dumping the cup In the sink, I made a u-turn and headed straight to my room. There was no school for me today and I intended to spend the day sleeping.Seeing Kylie again gave me some sort of happiness I thought as I lay wide awake in bed, thinking of the list of things I had to do.The most pressing one, being how I intended to tell my mom about it. Just thinking about it gave me shivers. My imagination ran wild, thinking about the way she would react. Good thing was I didn't plan on telling her about it anytime soon, so I pushed the thought aside.Also, introducing Ruby to her was on that list but for the past few wee
"That's my ma." I said, adjusting my skirts and finding a place to sit beside Ruby on the bed."I know. She told me." Ruby replied.I nodded and swallowed, sensing her discomfort. "Or you're worried she told me something,"I said, "She didn't."She nodded and then asked, "Why did you come?" Without looking me in the eyes."Errrm, I couldn't reach you?" I said, sounding like I wasn't sure it was enough reason and shrugged, "I wanted to check that you're okay. Nobody was telling me anything when I asked after you."She gulped and said, "thank you."I squeezed her palms to let her know that it was fine like I'd seen in movie scenes, "Why did you shave your hair?" I asked the most pressing question on my mind.She smiled and answered, "I've always been like this." And after a while added, "Can you help me open the last closet on your left?"I got up and strolled over to her closet, opening it as she asked; an auburn wig fell out. Not thinking much about it, I picked it up and was about to
I stood in front of the long dressing mirror admiring my look that morning.it was going to be my first day in a new school and I was not prepared. That feeling of being a newbie again, found somewhere to sit in the pit of my stomach and did a good job of upsetting me.I rolled my eyes when my best friend giggled over the receiver after hearing my complain yet again."Who the fuck builds a school, and after careful years of thinking, names it, The school for the rich?" I asked my only friend Kylie. "I just wished mum left me In Russia. Cause what's all this?" I complained bitterly."OMG, Steyn!!" She screamed over the receiver, "You just used the F word and it's so unbelievable." She laughed. "Where's that place at again?"I rolled my eyes. "Of everything I've said, you only picked up the F word, right. Well it's in a small town called Gryffindor in New Jersey. I believe everyone knows each other and that's the hardest part.""How's that the hardest part?" She asked curiously. "Plus, y
It undoubtedly was a school for the rich.The entire premises had tall buildings flanking each other. The floor was made of marbles and everyone wore uniforms like mine.A white shirt tucked into a short plaid skirt, a while socks and black shoes. For the boys, it was a white shirt tucked into navy blue pants and tie.On the floor was the inscription"Welcome back to school." I was wrapped up in my thoughts, thinking the school wasn't bad at all , when I bumped into a solid wall that almost sent me spiraling to the floor but for my strong balance. I looked up, ready to cuss and found four pairs of eyes staring down at me. Four pairs of eyes that fit beautifully into perfectly chiseled faces stared back at me. Compared to the owners of these eyes I was a dwarf.They had bodies that could put an Abercrombie model to shame. I put out my hand instinctively to the one I'd run into to gain balance, only for him to shift stance, and I staggered forward.Thankfully, there was no student body
