1959 Words
"Aunty Trinna" I hugged her
"How was school today" she asked, we broke the hug
"Fun" I smiled
"No fights?" She asked raising a brow at me
"Aunty you know I'm a good girl, What's for breakfast" I quickly asked changing the topic
"You're food is on the dining table,first you have to change" she said looking at me
"But that will take forever" I complained
"Change before eating, now go" she shooed me with her hands
"Nooo, It will take forever" she laughed as I complained climbing the stairs
After I'm done, I went downstairs to eat then later help aunty Trinna in the kitchen, I went for my room as she said she has to do some things in her room, I sat on my bed staring at the bead that was on my left wrist, I tried taking it off but I couldn't, though aunty Trinna has told me not to, this bead has been on my wrist since when I was little, and I can't take it off, when I asked aunty Trinna why I have to keep wearing it she always says it's to protect me, but now looking at it, I can't help but feel there's something more to it than just protecting me l looked out my window where the seven mountains was visible it was beautiful plus the sunset glow, it was really a sight to behold almost Magical, I sat there till night time, just looking at the forest, mountains and the sky which was already filled with stars and a full round moon, I just wish I could see my parents face, even If it's a one time encounter, I want to speak with them, ask them why they left me, I want to feel their comfort, hear their voices, but wishes and magic are just fairytales, I just want to be with them even if it's just a little time, A tear slipped from my eye, thinking about my parents is the only thing that can make me cry, apart from that I don't know what else, I was just so lost in thought that I did not hear the knocks on my door
"LAYLA" Aunty Trinna yelled jolting me out of my thoughts
"I'm coming" I climbed down from my bed, as i made my way to my door, and unlocked it
"Hey are you okay?" aunty Trinna asked as she entered my room
"Yes" I answered which made her turn to me
"But I was knocking for over 20 seconds
"Oh sorry, I was just sleeping" I lied looking anywhere but her face
"There's no sign of sleep on your face" she raised a brow I'm sure she knows I was lying
"*Sigh* Layla is anything the problem?, you know you can tell me anything right?" i nodded positive, I can tell she's very concerned and worried but I can't tell her I just can't tell her how I wish to see my parents whenever I'm alone, it will make her feel bad as if she's not trying and I can't also tell her about the weird dreams least not yet
"Layla?" Aunty Trinna called, making me look at her
" Tell me ,What's the problem" she asked worried
"Nothing I'm perfectly fine, just wanted to sleep so I could go early to school tomorrow"
I smiled
"Oh, okay, goodnight love" she pecked my forehead and left closing the door gently, I don't mean to be rude to her *sigh* I'm really messed up right now. I climbed on my bed, covered the bed spread over my body, dimming my light while resting my head on the silky pillow, heaving a deep breath
"Good night Aunty Trinna" I slept off
Next day.....
No dream. well I'm not surprised , cuz sometimes the dream comes and sometimes it doesn't for a whole week or months...
I yawned stretching my body on the bed, I got down from my bed, headed straight to the bathroom, did my morning routines, then got out with a towel tied around my head and body, I went straight to the closest, picking the first thing I set my eyes on a pair of black and light shade of grey baggy jeans with a grey baggy hoodie and grey sneakers to match and not to forget my white undies and bra, after I'm done picking my clothes and shoes I threw them on the bed, I dried my body and hair. Then applied cream on my skin and face, got dressed, I applied a little bit of gloss on my lips not too noticeable but enough to keep my lips bright though I have natural pink lip, I took my bag and head out of my room, then down the stairs where aunty Trinna was already done with dinner, I smiled
"Aunty Trinna good morning" I went over to the dinning taking my seat
"Good morning dear how was your night?" She asked with a warm smile plastered on her beautiful face, Aunty Trinna is really pretty she looks like she's in her twenties but nah she not I don't even know her age whenever I ask her she just laughs she never did tell me, is as if she doesn't age or so I think
" Fine yours?" I asked returning the smile
"Same, I can see you're already dressed for school, hurry up it's almost eight" she sat down as well
"Okay" we both ate our meal
"Wow Aunty Trinna the meal was great, delicious if I'm to say, a ten out of ten, no offence all your meals are, but I really love these pancakes, can I have them every morning? Pleasssse" I pouted cutely, to which she laughed
"Yes dear" she smiled
"Ooh thanks Aunty Trinna" I got up, took our plates to the kitchen
" You'll stain yourself remember?" she took the plates from my hands dumping them in the sink
"Oh right" I said
"Soo, I hired a driver for you" what! Wow
"Thank you soo much Aunty Trinna" I hugged her
"Where's he?" I asked breaking the hug
"Once you go out, head front a little, you'll see him, he'll be the one taking you to school every day?
"Aunty Trinna thank you so much?" I said sniffing while wiping away invisible tears, Aunty Trinna laughed, seeing her smile or laugh makes me happy
"O-kay go now, don't want you going late" she slightly pushed me out of the kitchen, I laughed as I made my way to the door
"Bye aunty Trinna" I smiled waving at her
"Bye love be good okay?" Aunty Trinna said
I chuckled
"I will" I got out, honestly I was looking for the car or rather the driver, heading forward a little I saw a man resting in a black car, though the car was small, not all those big cars you'll imagine, I walked towards it....................
.......................
"Good morning miss Layla, my name is Mr Samuel Brown and I'll be your driver" he smiled
"First of all my name is Layla, and good morning to you too Mr Brown" I said getting at the back seat. I put on my seat belt, and we drove off to my school 'Perfect High', our car came to a stop a few minutes later, I got out ready to go in the gate
"Have a good time Layla, I'll be coming to drive you home once you close from school" he said, starting the engine again
"Okay" he drove off and I went in, I made my way to the hallway then my class, I got to my seat, sat down and arranged my things, then took out a book aunty Trinna gifted me some years back in my birthday, I never really had the chance to read it , but since the teacher isn't here, and the class wasn't full yet even Blondy hasn't come, I looked at the book title 'The Power Keeper' I opened the first chapter reading through it, I kept reading 'Wow how haven't I notice this book' it's very interesting, it's a fantasy novel, about demons, vampire, fairies, werewolf, witches, and other supernatural beings each kingdom fighting for a big crystal which held ultimate power and it's only entitled to the power keeper, it's very interesting, with magic, like dark magic, white magic, different kinds of power, some supernatural has the ability to shape shift and so on, I got so caught up in the novel, that I didn't realise the class has been filled up, I kept reading chapter after chapter, then I realised something was covering the light, I turned to the direction and came face to face to a wall 'what the', I looked up
OH MY GOD this is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen, blue eyes, jet black hair, thin peach lips, well chiseled jawline. He was astonishing as if someone carved by the gods or he's one maybe a demi - god, cuz this is too much, and ooh was I captivated in his sea blue eyes
" are you going to keep staring at me or what?" He smirked and it was then I looked around and all the students we were looking at us even Blondy and her servants were now smirking, some of the students held fear written all over their faces, 'What's wrong and why do everyone look sacred', I looked at the beautiful, dazzling human in front of me 'oh my I need to stop looking at those captivating ocean eyes' I thought then looked away at my book I was reading
" Well you were clearly covering my view" I said looking into his eyes , 'i won't let those beautiful eyes capture me'
"Now get up" he said still staring at me
"And why should I listen to you?" I challenged, tilting my head to the side
"This. Is. My. Chair. Now move" his tone was getting higher
"Your name isn't stamped on the chair or desk, is it?" I said not ready to back down
"It's clear you don't know me" He smirked
"Don't care, now leave and get another chair",I said, while I folded my arms across my chest
"Before I count to three I don't want to see you here" he said to which I smirked he don't even know what I'm made of
"1...2...." He started
"3"' I ended still smirking everyone was shocked by what i just did
"You're very good at pissing me off, now leave or else"
"What ?" The smirk never leaving my face, he was clearly angry, more angry than before, if it was to be a cartoon, fire would have been fuming out of his ears and nostrils, but it's not so face it.
"Take your sit, class is about to begin" Mrs Hailey announced and so the class bell rang, me and Bone head still staring at each other, he looked at Mrs Hailey gritting his teeth, then gaze back at me, he took the seat at the back next to me, he layed his head on the table, while class was going on, 'really who the f**k actually sleeps during class? Bone head I guess' I said mentally, while I faced the class
"In my last class I talked about the history of Reiden town, and also about the seven mountains of Reiden town to which I asked a question, answered by Layla" she glanced over at me, and so the class was on until the bell rang
"See you all next time" Mrs Hailey left. Teacher after teacher, today's class was amazing, with me mostly answering some questions, and one other girl with round glasses, " Hi I'm Natasha"....
