C8 8

Preparations where on high alert as the day for the graduation got close and everything was successful, the speeches made by the most successful parents and owners of the school that is.

Celine and Eleanor received gifts for being the best of their class. Even after the detentions and whatnot they did manage to get themselves a spot in the spotlight of the day.

It was time to go home and she had prepared her outfit just waiting for the time to reach.

She and Roland had exchanged contacts and he had been kind to her for the two weeks which led to their graduation and she couldn’t help but be happy all the time.

Celine had been smiling more and she looked glowing and Eleanor just thought maybe at the end she had finally paved her way to make Roland’s heart smitten although she still had her reservations about all of what was going on.

“We meet at my place?” her phone pinged signaling a message from the only one who had kept Celine busy for some time now.

“He texted?” Elle asked and Cece was happy that she didn’t need to respond for Elle to know who had written.

“I still have my reservations and I want that as we go you wouldn’t let yourself loose” she told Celine.

“Yes I wouldn’t sister” Celine said as they left in an Uber to the Banks mansion.

When they got there she was welcomed so well by Roland who took her in and was like introducing herm Celine felt like she was flying on the sky. She had finally gotten him as she smiled back at Elle who looked around nervously she had a gut feeling this wasn’t going to end well because it seemed to be too good to be true.

Not too long Celine ran towards her direction.

“I want to do it” she said.

“Do what exactly?” Elle asked confused.

“I’ll confess I love him maybe he just might reciprocate and I would have my dream first” she said happily and rushed back in without waiting to hear from Elle and Elle didn’t know where she taken since he had taken her in to show her something.

Eleanor called after Celine but she was long gone, the girl was childish and would d anything for Roland, she paused for a minute, she contemplated Celine's words that Roland might actually have pure intentions towards her and regrets his actions, she remembered the way he had treated her Cece with care and love in his eyes, she had never seen him been that gentle with anyone.

This convinced her that maybe he was just trying to be a hard guy but in the reals sense, he was falling in love with Celine, this made Eleanor smile to herself, it would be a dream come true if he finally realized his mistakes and fall into Celine's arms, it meant her poor baby girl's efforts, sacrifices and persistence had paid off because she got what she wanted at the end, Celine was one to easily let go of the past and didn't hold on to grudges.

She remembered all what Roland had made her Cece go through and knew within her that she would never go through half of it for the affection if any boy no matter how much she loved him, to her no one simply deserved all that and act like an asshole on top of it all, she imagined the happy look on Celine's face if all these works out.

She was tensed but she gulped down a glass of non-alcoholic wine to calm her nerves, she looks around nervously, the house was gigantic and looked breathtaking, she began to feast on the beautiful crafts in the house with her eyes, it then struck her that Roland was never a good boy and once a bad was always a bad boy.

Her gut feeling told her something was amiss and something really bad would happen, she never ignores her gut feeling so she dropped the tumblr she held in her hands and hurridely began to look for Celine, the house was huge and she didn't know where to start from, she ascended the stairs as quick as she could.

Eleanor turned to the first room she saw and gently knocked on the door, it was open so she went in and found no one, she repeated this for a couple of rooms and by then she had become visibly worried, Celine mentioned confessing her love to Roland, what if he refused or reject her or worse he has other plans for her as they went to a secluded place, she knew she couldn't let anything happen to CeCe so she frantically began to yell her name.

Eleanor became increasingly worried as she had searched everywhere she knew she could search yet no sign of Celine and Roland, a maid met her on the way and politely greeted her, she asked the maid if she had seen Roland or Celine but the maid couldn't disclose their location which made the hairs on Eleanor's skin rise in fear, Celine was no where to be found and she couldn't stay calm knowing this.

She began to blame herself for letting Celine out of her sight, she had promised not to only be a friend but also a sister and mother to her but she had let her guard down and now she couldn't breathe properly for fear of the worse happening to the poor girl.

A room was slightly opened and she peered inside, it was almost dark and poorly lit, she fumbled for the light switch and turned it on, she was wowed by the magnificent interior decoration, it looked like the perfect room for a teenage girl as it was painted a beautiful shade of pink and had moonlight stickers which glowed on the ceiling.

She picked up an album from the table just beside the enormous bed, it contained sketches of cartoon characters, Eleanor chuckled softly to herself, it reminded her of Celine when they were younger, she gasped as she remembered that Celine was still nowhere to be found hence she hurried our and continued her search.
