C4 Meet Again

Raina's POV

"Your daughter will be a decent advantage and resources for our school" The principal said with a wide smile on his face. He glanced at my test results through his round glasses.

Well I aced every one of the ten questions from the test. It's quite easy if you ask me.

He got up and strolled down to a shelf, he took out a transparent package with a uniform in it, obviously mine.

"Simply go into that room and change" he pointed to the door close to the entryway.

I looked at Riley who paid no attention to us as she was focused on her tablet.

Few moments later

I left the room in my uniform which is a white long sleeve, blue tie and a blue skirt.

"So how do I look?" I asked, they turned towards my direction.

"Amazing" Mum began and added "It fits you well"

She drew out her Iphone and took pictures of me as I gave different posture.

"Riley come we should take a photo together" I said with a smile.

She disregarded me without raising up her head. What a brat I thought.

"Riley go join Raina please" Mum pleaded

Rather reluctantly, she got up and stood close to me with a humphed.

Mum took a shot "You are not smiling Riley show me your cute smile"

Riley made a face "Yeah whatever" Rolling her eyes in the process as she drew out a phony grin.

"That is my baby girl"

"Okay, so Raina you ought to go join the others in class" The Principal got up to shake hands with my mum.

"I have already told your teacher you're coming" He added

"Thank you Mr Edward" Mum beamed with delight .

We took our leave, with mum and Riley heading towards the parking lot as I tried to locate my class

Jordy's POV

I'm happy I didn't go back to the dust from the little occurrence that happened before.

God gave me a second chance to live as I gradually and horrendously zipped down my pants.

I ran out of the mansion closely followed by my best friend, a black Benz unexpectedly stopped in front of us.

One of the body guards wearing a black tuxedo and dark sunshade came out and pulled the back door open.

"Aish I forgot" I punched my clenched hand into my palm.

"Forgot what?" Benny questioned "I thought we are taking my car".

"Yes we are you can take a day off, I'm driving my friend's car" I told the guard.

"I'm sorry but that's not possible sir" He answered in his baritone voice.

"And why?" I demanded.

"I'm just doing my job" he responded with a stoic expression.

"You're not serious, are you?"

I turned to look at Benny who just shrugged in reply.

An idea flew into my head.

"Ahhhh my stomach" I held my stomach in pain falling down on the cold ground.

"Sir are you okay" The body guard immediately helped me up.

Benny nearly burst into laughter when he understood I was faking it.

"If it's not too much trouble, help me to the bathroom" I groaned in pain

He called his colleagues as they gently helped me into the mansion.

I looked back at Benny and gave him a wink, he winked back.

My wailing became louder as we walked down to one of the bathroom on the first floor.

The beauty of my house is that it is sufficiently spacious and has great interior design to begin an unscripted TV drama very much like Keeping up with the Kardashians.

They pushed the door to the bathroom open and remained outside.

"Please, I'll need your assistance in here" I implored.

In panic they entered the bathroom and as they got closer, I pushed them forward and ran out.

"Hey what are you doing?" They pursued me but I ran out of the bathroom and forcefully slammed the door.

I turned the keys, locked it and tossed the keys down the hallway.

"Sir please open the door" They pound the bathroom door boisterously.

"If you both don’t wanna take a day off I will give both of you a compulsory holiday" I shouted and ran down the hall.

I ran out of the mansion with my bag hung on my back, I sighted Benny already waiting for me with his car beside the gate.

"What took you so long? Where are the body guards?" He inquired as I walked towards him.

"I locked them in the bathroom"

Benny laughed and said "Mad oh you're crazy"

"You know what, I'll take my motorbike since I'll be going to see my family after school today" .

"Alright, drive safe man" Benny said and got into his car.

I ran once more into the mansion to get my keys.

I could hear the body guards banging and pushing the door, putting effort to open the door regardless of whether it'll break or not.

I came out of my room with my keys and ran into the parking area loaded up with various cars and motorbikes.

I selected the red coloured motorbike, got in and drove out of the mansion, zooming down the estate.

Mina's POV

🎵Can I be the light in your darkness🎵

🎵Can I be your moonlight in the skies🎵

🎵Can’t get you off my mind🎵

🎵Cause you make me fall in love again🎵

🎵You give me a thousand reasons to love🎵

I abruptly stopped.

Oh no my voice is terrible, I'm never going to win. I buried my face in my palms with my elbows on the Piano.

"Wow that was beautiful" Came a voice by the door.

I immediately raised up my head and saw a young lady of my age standing by the door.

"Sorry who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Raina" she answered cheerfully "Did you compose that" she went on

I curled my lips at her.

"Uhm I need to go" I got my bag and left the Music room .

"Hey wait up" she pursued me.

I strolled into the elevator and she ran in with me.

"I'm a new student, I just joined today......" She kept talking.

"Welcome then" I replied nonchalantly pressing the buttons to the sixteenth floor.

Richard's POV

The entire class was completely calm as the teacher, Miss Clara started teaching Economics which was the second class of the day.

"Alright class before I continue with today's topic, who can explain what you understand by the word Economic Development? She asked.

No one raised their hands, but unexpectedly Chris lifted up his hands.

"Ma I can" He chirped.

"Anybody else?" She scanned around the class but only Chris hands were raised high enough for her to see.

"What about the term Economics, who can give me a proper definition?" She asked again.

"Ma let me answer the question" Chris said standing up this time.

"Dude sit down" I turned to look at him.

"What?" Chris asked turning to look at me.

"That's enough, can't you see she's never going to pick you, sit down before you disgrace your family" I said irritated.

"Look I can be playful sometimes but this time I swear I know it, I got this" he grinned.

"Okay, seems no one understands what Economic Development means or Economics, let me explain then" Miss Clara walked towards the board.

"But ma I can explain it" Chris said half shouting.

"Like seriously man" I slammed my hand in my face. This boy is a nut case.

Miss Clara turned and said "Chris what's it?"

"I want to explain Economics Development" Chris said grinning from ear to ear.

He looked back at me and poked his tongue out.

"Chris can you just answer the question and let's move on" She reprimanded.

"Thank you very much ma, you have no idea what this means to me, I mean I can't believe no one knows the answer to this easy question" He said.

Gosh this dude is stupid, I shook my head.

"Chris just answer the question" Miss Clara shouted already fuming with anger.

"Okay, Economic Development, let me start with development" He began.

Miss Clara at this point was as red as a tomato.

"But ma, there have to be a Development before Economics takes place, right?.

"Chris" she said

"Yes ma"

"Sit down"

"Okay let me explain Economics" he resumed

"SIT DOWN" everyone yelled.

Chris slowly sat back on his seat.

I faced him "Chris like seriously?" He loves annoying teachers so much.

He shrugs in reply as he pulled out his phone.

"Okay class, today we will be going into Economy as a whole" Miss Clara voice rang out "Who can tell me what our last topic was about?".

Chris suddenly jumped to his feet.

"I know Miss Clara" He hurriedly said.

Oh God of my ancestors, I bent my head on my desk.

The whole class turned to look at him in annoyance.

"Chris if you don't sit your butt down I'll send you to the Principal's office" Miss Clara threatened.

"But ma is it a crime to be intelli..." He went on.

"AHHHHH" Miss Clara charged towards him in pure rage.

A student quickly set his feet on the way making the poor woman almost fell down to Chris' feet.

The whole class bursted into laughter.

Slowly she steadied herself and turned back to the board without looking at Chris direction.

"Miss Clara what about the last topic" Chris yelled from the back.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"And what about Economics Development?" Chris continued to ask.

A guy beside me turned to look at Chris

"Dude can you knock it off?" He said obviously tired of Chris' attitude.

In this moment a girl walked in......MINA.

Mina is a dark, beautiful, strange and quiet girl who hardly comes to class, she comes whenever she pleases and doesn't talk to anyone.

Another girl walked in beside her.

"Hey look" Chris said pulling my shirt from behind. "The girl we saw at the Cinema, Richard are you seeing what I'm seeing? He asked.

My jaw suddenly dropped.

"Okay class we have a new student in our midst, please introduce yourself" Miss Clara said to the girl.

I admired her steps as she walked close to the teacher, I imagined her walking in slow motion.

"Good morning my name is Raina" she said with a smile on her cheeks "I just moved in to Nigeria last week with my mum and sister" she explained.

"Raina we were just discussing about Economics Development, can you tell us what it means" Miss Clara said.

Chris stood to his feet but I pulled him down immediately.

She thought for a moment and replied

"Economic development is usually the focus of federal, state, and local governments to improve our standard of living through the creation of jobs, the support of innovation and new ideas, the creation of higher wealth, and the creation of an overall better quality of life"

Wow.

The whole class applauded.

"I swear that is my exact definition" Chris said to me seriously.

"Just shut up Chris, I'm your best friend okay, I know you don't know it"

"Fine then" He said feigning anger.

"You can go have your seat now" Miss Clara said.

I couldn't take my eyes off her as she sat on an empty seat beside Mina which was two rows in front of me.

"Let's continue" Miss Clara walked up to the board to teach.

Time flew by and the bell rings jolting me out of my daydream.

Without hesitation everyone dashed out of the class.

Chris and I arrived at the cafeteria and saw Nydia already seated waiting for us at our usual spot.

Nydia is in a different class unlike Chris and I except on Friday when we meet in the lab for Biology.

"Hey guys" Nydia said with her mouth full.

"Guess what?" Chris said in excitement.

"You saw the girl we met at the mall" Nydia said unenthusiastically.

He opened his to talk but stopped.

"How did you know?" Chris and I asked in unison.

"That's her over there" she pointed over my shoulders.

We looked back and saw her seated alone at the far end of the cafeteria as she ate quietly.

"Awwn, isn't she cute" Chris gave a rare smile with his eyes glistening.

"I thought you said her neck is like our president?" Nydia reminded.

"You know that was a joke, Buhari looks like Richard not this beautiful goddess" he said dreamily.

"What? Are you out of your mind? I look nothing like him" I said.

"Guys stop, that is enough" Nydia yelled "our president is CUTE"

A group of students seated on a table beside us suddenly splashed the milk they were drinking out of their mouth.

We all bursted into laughter..
