2219 Words
My name is Jennifer Mervin Silverstone, I come from a very small family that has little to give. I lost both of my parents when I was little and have no sibling but I stay with my nanny. I was born with a red hair and freckles on my cheeks. I'm fair in complexion, tall and chubby. I am not that tall just an average height of a female. I put on medicated glasses and I look more of a nerd. Oh! Jennifer you don't just look more of a nerd you are a Nerd. I don't have much friends, Well that's because I am mostly friends with my notebook the only one thing that never fails me. Apparently my grandma is my only friend. I was almost done with my high school when I discovered a scholarship exam that was going on at school. Thanks to my English teacher for letting me participate in this life changing exam. But yet again, I didn't want to I was scared, it was known that only the rich people, filthy rich people , and nice looking people attended the school. And with that I know I have no such quality of it at all, the only thing I had was my brain. Zero looks, zero wealth Leaving nana to study a little bit far away was the most Important thing I avoided doing, lots of scholarship programs came in to me but I declined all because I wanted to go to a school that was close to nana so I could keep watch over her, didn't mind studying online and getting my certificate. But then again my high school teacher didn't just tell me about the one last scholarship exam but also went behind my back to discuss it with My Nana. It was such an emotional turnaround between I and nana. Seeing how she gave me her genuine support and blessings, which she has always done all my life. I felt reluctant to write the exam but was happy about it. Aside of my academic IQ I still prayed and hoped I got into the University, it was my only hope to continue my education. Luckily for me during summer I got a mail that I was qualified to be a student of the king's college at London. **** It was a new beginning, a time to change my life for a better good. Granny and I had to hit the local stores in town to get few wears for me, it was her savings for life, I told her not to but she never listened to me. 'I didn't save for you to tell me no my dear. I have always wanted to send you off to college seeing it happen now has been nothing but a great joy to me Jennifer' My first day at school was hell some, every one picked on me, insulted me and made my life very miserable to live in. They made me a clown, even those of them I thought were my friends where only being friends with me just so I could help them our with their assignment while they go out to party. I learnt to distinguish myself from them, coming to school as early as possible and sitting at the edge of the class where they couldn't see me. At lest that worked for a while. Summer came and summer went by, and it was my second year in school and first day at school for the new semester. Walking into the campus with my new friend Lilian, we met last semester and decided to be roommates ever since. She was cool and nice to hang out with, she is an American and came from a wealthy family. Of course, the poor kids don't attend the school anyways. Sometimes I ask myself and even her what she was doing by being friends with me and not hanging out with girls of her class but she always said that 'The me in me is so special that she wouldn't love to lose a friend like me' Though her reply was weird but I still didn't care. It felt good and weird at same time to have a friend. We walked to our lockers to get our textbooks for the class. "You ain't staying by the edge of the class today, are you?" Lillian questioned, while flipping her blond hair to the side I stared at my feet, checking out my worn out looking boot "I guess I am" I replied shyly, closing my lockers. "No you ain't, you and I are gonna sit down at the middle of the class " she stated proudly I stared at her like she had four heads "Are you sane? You can sit in the middle but I am staying at the edge" "How long are you going to keep hiding" she whispered "Am not hiding, I don't just want trouble" "Trouble? Or you are scared of Juliana that spoilt b***h and her clique" "Am not scared of anyone Lilian" I said locking my locker and shifting my glasses into a good position "You are, and that's why they would never stop what they always do to you. When would you stop listening to them and start embracing who you are " "Embracing who I am? You mean the poor wretched girl who got her luck into a university that she would never be able to fit in? " I replied blankly "You see, that's what they told you and it has gotten into your head, you underestimate yourself" she said closing her lockers hard I shifted back at the impact from staring at her wide eyes. "I don't know about you Jennifer but you and I are going to class right now and we surely are sitting in the middle" **** Slowly the class was filling up and finally the bell rang. Our philosophy lecturer sir Nathaniel stepped in and the class was already going on, when Juliana and her clique rushed into the class walking majestically as they went to their perfect seat at the back of the class. She gave me a look over on her way then scoffed at me, giving me a wicked grin. I must say from the pang I felt in my heart I was scared, scared of what they may do, what they may say, how they would act. Finally the bell rang and our first lecture of the day ended peacefully. I and Lilian walked to our locker to keep our books before we could go out for lunch. Just then Juliana and her sheep's Rita and Stella passed by. "Beautiful as ever, it's nice to see you again after a long time" she said with sarcasm while her clique laughed like witches. Lilian walked in front of me pushing me aside "Butt off Juliana, you must have other better things to do" Juliana waved her hands dismissively at Lilian "Of course I have, bodyguard!" she joked, being backed up by her cliques laughter and with that the three of them went to the cafeteria. "I swear all I see when I look at her, is how I can use those ugly curls on her head and serve her ugly cat moosy while he chokes on it" she said angrily Juliana has a cat called moosy which she loves a lot more than anything in the world, almost everyone on campus knows about her lame named cat. She even made an ** account for the ugly car and the crazy thing was that he has thousands of followers. "It's okay Lilian, we shouldn't stress on her. Let's go get something to eat before the next class begins" "That's true she's not worth the stress" **** We arrived at the cafeteria, as usual it was filled up, with cliques and high ranking students. Normally before I sat alone and made fun at that sometimes I had to end up eating in the toilets or In the library just to avoid being picked at, but ever since I met Lilian things changed; I had a clique, am glad I have someone like her in my life. Anyways I could have helped my self from being disgraced all the time but If I didn't get a seat for lunch I wouldn't get to see the one person that torments my mind, that's the major reason I love coming here. Christopher Reek Jr, the university big time player and yeah Juliana's horny bear. He's called the 'horny bear' because he was sweet and always horny and a bear because he was big and well built. That's what the girls at school says and looking into it it's so true. But I had no problem with it, he is the owner of my heart, my Mr handsome, my fantasy. He played soccer though, while Juliana is a cheer leader, that's how they met and have been dating ever since, to be precised actually they've lasted for six months. He is in his fourth year and would be a graduating student of business management next year, exactly the course am studying. Very famous and loveable. Don't ask me how I know all these when you are in love with your fantasy, you stalk into it in reality. I always wish we could be together, though all in my fantasy. I know he could never be mine we were far apart in everything. He is in a higher level and will be leaving the university soon and am his junior just in my second year , he's the richest kid in school and am the poorest, the most handsome and am the ugliest, the most nice looking human on earth and am well... Just nothing. I decided to go with a cheese burger and coke while Lilian ordered for cherry cake and vanilla ice cream, her favorite. We paid and took our seats, I looked around for Juliana, because I know she must be with Christopher, my Christmas king.. Lol. His nickname from me. Just then I saw him, he was looking his best really cute, with his black jelled hair trimmed short at the side, his grey eyes almost black and soft peach lips. My playboy was looking good in his sport wear, I guess they have a game after now to play. I wish I could go but I have lectures, I could be stupid with my mind, but am not stupid with my books. "Gosh this vanilla ice cream is delicious Jenny, you need to try it" Lilian said while licking her vanilla cream greedily. "Thanks am cool with my coke, no fat please" She looked at me then laughed hard at me, causing stares from other students "What's the burger for darling, you know that's more fat on its own " "It doesn't work on me" She gave me a sly grin "Yeah it doesn't, that's while you keep adding up every day" "Am not fat" I protested "I never said you were" she winked at me. *** Lunch came and went by, Lilian had gone to the restroom while I went to class to prepare for our next lecture. My maths class would start anytime soon, everywhere was noisy, you see different characters and attitude in all areas of the lecture hall. Few were reading,some had their headset on, some of them were on their phones video chatting or texting with their friends. Most girls were polishing their nails and the rest where making out with their boyfriends. Welcome to my university! Lilian later walked into the class, sitting clumsily by my side looking disarranged while she tried to fix her cloths into the proper places. "Sorry for taking much time, I was with Collins, you know he didn't let me go soon" And by Collins she meant her boyfriend, who was a close friend to Christopher and also in his 4th year but he was in science studying engineering. "Yeah, you don't have to explain" She smiled coyly at me, facing me "You should get a boyfriend soon Jenny" I scoffed "Boyfriend... Boyfriend my Ass, that's not happening darling" "Why?" "Not ready” I said completely displeased about continuing the conversation “ Do you mean you have never had a boyfriend Jennifer. Like not even in high school, someone you liked, shared a hot steamy kiss with?" She said smiling at my coyly I groaned poking my forehead frustratedly “No! Lilian I never liked anyone in high school. There wasn’t any guy I felt that sparked me up like the way you are with Collins “ She nodded her head understandingly before I eyes lit up with mischief again “Coild it be you like girls then” I stared back at her in disgust “Come on jennifer it’s is normal. If you have never like a guy yet maybe you might have a thing for girls” she winked at me I covered my face in total embarrassment “Now that’s really disgusting of you to say, Just be cause I haven’t found someone I liked yet that doesn’t mean I fancy girls Lilian! Now stop with the questions, maths lecturer is in the class already" She groaned, she hated maths a lot and was very bad at it. But being her friend I helped her in whatever way I could with the subjects. •••• Its the first chapter of this book The steam keeps rising as it continues When the twinged passion starts unleashing slowly but dangerously (naughty wink)
