C15 New Life (2).

Everyone went back to what they were doing previously after the blonde haired guy and his minion left. I and Isabella also thanked everyone for their help earlier.

" You two, be careful " Jack said addressing I and Isabella.

" Especially you" He added while pointing at me and I nodded.

" He seems intent on his threat, so you guys better watch your backs" Jack told us.

" Do not worry Jack" Isabella said. " Like I told him earlier, he can't do shit" She assured.

" He is just rubbing off with the mouth" She added and I giggled.

" You cannot say so" Jack nudged her. " A man can do anything when he is railed" He reminded us.

" And with the way, I was looking at him earlier, the guy was beyond pissed" Jack added.

" You do not really think he will carry out his threat, do you?" I asked Jack and he shrugged.

" I cannot say for sure" He answered me.

" I do not think he will, Cops are always patrolling 24 hours straight" Isabella said.

" Which is why I told her, I cannot say for sure" Jack explained and Isabella nodded in understanding before they both turn to look at me.

" Do not be worried Ella" Isabella said, placing her hands around my shoulder. "He cannot come near either of us" She assured and Jack nodded, agreeing to her words.

I stifled a laugh.

" The Crazy idiot is the last thing on my mind" I told them both.

" Alright then" Jack nodded at us both before returning to his table to sit.

" He is right, you know" I heard Mrs Johnson's voice behind us and I and Isabella both shared a look of panic before turning slowly to face her.

" M, Mr, Mrs J Jh Jo Johnson" Isabella stuttered with a forced smile and I fought the urge to roar into laughter.

' She is so funny' I thought within, mistakenly letting out a giggle.

Mrs Johnson and Isabella turned to glance at me with Isabella shooting daggers at me. I threw her an apologetic look but she just scoffed before looking away.

Mrs Johnson smiled at our behaviors before saying.

" Stop acting like two twin sisters against one another".

" We are so sorry for the ruckus earlier, Mrs Johnson" Isabella apologized.

" We never meant for such to happen" She added and Mrs Johnson kept looking at us with a straight expression, now void of smile and I could feel my heart thumping against my chest.

" Actually, when I want........" I tried explaining but Mrs Irene then cut in with a smile.

" You do not have to explain" She said and I froze. " I understand everything that happened and those jerks deserve to be treated the way they were" She added and both I and Isabella gave a sigh of relief before flashing her a smile.

Isabella, Mrs Johnson and Jack have been a close companion to me, ever since I moved here to Italy. They have all been warm, nice and kind to me and I really appreciate them all for that.

When I took the flight to Italy and landed at first, I was lost and had to lodge at an expensive hotel. A very expensive one.

I found out Italy was a place for the rich not the poor nor the weak so I had to become strong otherwise I would be taken advantage of. Italy was not like America, where you can just feed on few pennies. No!.

After two days, and I was already running low on cash, I decided to look for a job to survive and also a tiny apartment to move out to for I could not afford the expensive hotel I was staying in any longer.

As I was going back to the hotel one night, my expression crest fallen and sullen, my eyes mistakenly glance to the left and I saw there was a large billboard where bills and flyers were posted on.

I instantly rushed towards the billboard in hope of finding something. Even if it was a job as a maid and God so good, I did.

I beamed as I read through the scholarship program on the billboard. It was to take place at a prestigious College. Each participant was suppose to take an exam and if he or she passed, He or she will be granted admission to study in the school for free,take on any course he or she want and will also be granted full accommodation.

The extra benefit was after each candidate's final exams and graduations,they will be offered Jobs instantly in one of the best companies in the world.

' Such Juicy offer' I thought with shock before hastily writing down the number on the flyer on my newly bought phone and leaving right away for it was late and I so did not want to be a victim of robbery or something worse.

The next morning, I made a call to the school and I was told to be present the next morning at 9am sharp or forget about sitting for the exam.

Whosoever I spoke to on the phone sounded pretty harsh and professional but I did not mind for all I cared about at the moment was I taking the exam and passing it since I really needed the opportunity.

The next morning, I arrived at the school and was wowed by the big gates and buildings. The building was so tall, I could have mistaken it for a sky Scraper. The interiors were so beautiful. It was painted in Royal blue and exotic white.

I almost lost my way while trying to find the administrative office but thanks to the directions and help I got from some of the nice but classic students, I got to the administrative office just in time.

I was given a form to fill and was directed to a hall filled with hundreds of other aspirants who came to apply for the scholarship. I became nervous instantly and went to hide myself in a corner. I think that was when Claire noticed me, being a jovial girl, came forward towards me and introduced herself.

At first, I was reluctant to open up to her because I found her too forward and was not used to anyone approaching me to be friends. I was extremely surprised when she did and tried to keep my distance because of insecurities but she kept on persisting and would not leave me alone despite I ignoring her.

In no time, I opened up and we bonded quite well. After being addressed by a stern looking man, we were all given the exams to sit for and after that, we were all asked to go home and await their calls.

I and Claire departed with a heavy mind or should I say heart? And hoped we would see each other once again and luckily it would be in the school. I stayed in the hotel for another two days, without receiving any calls and then started to lose hope of me passing the exam.

On the third day, while packing up little things I had, to leave since I could not afford to stay in the hotel any longer, I got a wondrous call from them telling me I passed and I should try and resume as soon as possible.

' Of course I would. Immediately' I thought then and whirled around my room happily for a while thanking the lord for not forsaking me again.

' A little bit of warning. I am still religious. I guess the nice doctor's words helped'.

I was over the moon and instantly packed up all my stuffs and left for the school. I was registered and given the card key to my room which I was suppose to be sharing with someone. I did not mind, I just hoped the person was nice and chill. I have had enough of monsters in human forms.

To my shock and surprise, Isabella was my roommate. She was as excited as I was to see her. Isabella and I became so close and did almost everything together. We both looked for a part time Job nearby and found one at Rose bloom Cafe.

The manager, Mrs Johnson, has been both a friend and Mother to us. We met Jackson here at the cafe and he is the best male friend we could ever have though we see him rarely for he travels alot. He is an explorer.

" Girl" Claire called snapping her fingers In front of my face bringing me back to earth.

" What is it?" I asked her.

" We are going to see Grey Cooper tonight" She yelled happily.
