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
WALKER"You said something?" I asked the petite girl sitting next to me."No." She turned to say but realizing whom it was her eyes bulged."So you speak?" She asked.I picked offence, feeling insulted."That's supposed to be funny, because, hahahaha it's not funny." I replied."You can start by apologizing." I said to cover up for sounding rude."I already tried to, but your right hand man wouldn't let me." She said furrowing her brows and shaking her Head."You didn't try hard." I told her."Maybe if you'd said something, it'd have been better. All you did was play dumb, and look, I've coined a name for you." She told me, spiking my interest.I laughed at the way she kept her face, her small lips, forming a pout."Dumb friend." She said, inciting more laughter from my end.That was absurd, honestly. I don't think anyone has ever called me dumb, ever. Except maybe, Luke, my best friend."You didn't." I said, running a hand over my face."Found something funny, Walker?" Darius, the En
STEYN"Nice of you to join us, Steyn Robert." The bored looking middle aged woman sang, the minute I stepped foot in Biology class. "I heard you make it a habit of going to class late."I shrugged. "I'm a new student ma. I'm not supposed to know all the hallways on my first day at school. I'm sorry all the same." "Such a rattle mouth!" She muttered under her breath. "Before you sit, you'll answer one question, if you can't, you'll stand outside till my class it's over."I shrugged and just kept mute."What substance is the hardest in the human body?" She asked."The dentine." I smirked. "The dentine is the hardest substance in the body of a mammal. Can I sit now?" "Ofcourse." She smiled. "Take the seat by Mr. Dawson.'"A new nerd?" Someone cajoled from the back."Should we tell her about Emily houston?" Someone else piped in.For whatever reason that last comment, incited bouts of laughter from the whole class.I clenched and unclenched my fist. They didn't know the kind of stuff I
GYMHonestly, what would I do without my map? I thought as I maneuvered my way, trying to locate the ladies locker room, when I stumbled into someone."Hello." I called out to her, "I think I'm lost.""Oh! Hi." She replied smiling. "Where are you headed?""The ladies locker room. I have gym in like ten minutes." I said, secretly admiring her long legs and auburn hair.She had warm hazel eyes and spotted freckles on her cheeks. Her nose were long and pointed, I wondered what her boyfriend went through whenever they tried to kiss. he probably had long nose like hers, I though and shrugged."Right." She grinned, drawing my attention to the braces she wore. "I'm headed there too. My name's Ruby.""I'm Steyn." I replied, thinking of how nice she sounded. "Nice to cross paths with you, Ruby.""I know your name." She smiled. "You probably didn't notice, but we shared the same homeroom and biology class together.""Not to make you feel bad." I said apologetically, after trying unsuccessfully
RUBYThe first thing you'll probably notice about this girl was her height. I'd call it average, rather than tall.She was very pretty and smiled brightly. She had long black hair and an athletic body.She was free spirited and outgoing. My brothers would like this one, I thought.I was a bit surprised when she said she had not yet heard about the Grace's of Gryffindor.Nobody said that. I found this very interesting.The whole school knew about the Grace's of Gryffindor. Not only were they popular, they were the most handsome of all the guys in Gryffindor. To think they where my brothers. I shrugged it off, like it was some forbidden thought."Gryffindor is made from a long line of royalties. It's like a generational thing." I told her. "I'm mostly confused about it myself.""I'm sure I won't get confused." She replied, doing the high plank ."You've met walker?" I asked her."I have. We technically bumped into each other in the worst ways ever." She replied.I grinned, knowing what
