LIFELINE (EASTVIEW HIGHSCHOOL)

Weekend outing

Daniella was just waking up from sleep, stretching herself partially didn't want to leave her bed, but she has to since she has a lot of programs, which firstly escorting her mother to the fashion shop where they will have their hair braided, Saturdays are supposed to be a day of rest but to Daniella it was a day of her being an escort to her mother, since she was the only daughter.

After taking her bath, she dressed up, looking at herself in the mirror she couldn't help but admire her body, at least shes now looking more lively, than when she left the rehabilitation center.

She left her room heading to the dinning room for breakfast, “Daddy, good morning” she greeted as she saw her father at the dinning table, doing his usual, reading a newspaper or magazine.

He only nodded his head, as Daniella took her sit, she served herself, her best chicken sauce with rice.

After eating she left the dinning room for her parents room, to meet her mother.

“Mommy, good morning” She said while opening the room door, her mother nodded her head with a smile

“Are ready” She asked as she was still applying her makeup.

“Yes, I have even had my breakfast” Daniella answered with a smile on her face.

Her mother turned her face to take a glance on Daniella, looking at her mother she still look young despise her age, her beauty still reserved, the resemblance between her and Daniella was there.

“I see, just give me a minute, I'll be done” Her mother said focusing on what she was doing, Daniella's mom started taking Daniella out every Saturday after Daniella's return from the rehabilitation center, she still believes that it was the influence of her brother's friends that led her into drugs, but mere looking at Daniella, she barely looks like someone who's into drugs.

But the fact still remains that she was found with drugs in school.

“Okay we are good to go” Her mom announced as she stood up from the seat.

Daniella followed her mom quietly as they were going downstairs, Mom on reaching the dinning hall kissed Dad on his cheeks telling him she was going out with me to the fashion salon.

Dad just wished us goodbye as he continued his reading.

They entered mom's car and drove of out of the compound heading to the Daniella's fashion salon, it was a salon built by her parents which her parents named after her.

“Hey” Karen shouted, bringing her phone up to Benjamin's face.

“I don't see anything” Benjamin said pushing her phone back to her,

“Look, I just saw a post saying fifty percent discount in Daniella's fashion salon, just because the owner just visited the salon and you know that's the best fashion store in town.’’

Karen blabbed out running out of the living room to her room with the the sole intention of going to the Daniella's fashion salon.

Benjamin only shook his head, with a sigh leaving his mouth, but wait Daniella it may be her it may be her fashion salon he thought.

'I need to go' he thought walking to his room to change into something better, he dressed in a very cool way, as if he was going to see the love of his life.

“Why are you dressed?” Karen asked as she entered the living room.

“The maybe someone I know, so I decided to join you maybe I get to see her” Benjamin answered with a lot of confidence and a little pride.

As Benjamin and Karen got to the fashion salon Karen focus was in her she will get through the already long queue, there all heard about the fifty percent discount she guessed, while Benjamin busied himself trying to see if he could find Daniella, just at the right moment he saw her looking out the window at the topmost floor, he picked out his phone and called her number,

as Daniella wondered who would be calling her, she checked the caller's I'd and saw it was Benjamin, she answered Immediately

“Hey, Daniella am downstairs come get me” he said almost immediately when she answered his call.

“Okay” Daniella answered, while disconnecting the call, she entered the elevator that was nearby, she headed straight to the entrance as she got off the elevator,

'Good day ma'am’ were the words pouring out of the mouths of the employees, she couldn't help but just nod her head as she got outside, see brought out her phone to call Benjamin, when she heard her name, ‘’oh that's him' she thought moving towards his direction.

Benjamin himself was pushing through the crowd to get her, she paused in her movement, as she was at the receptionist table already, she just waited for Benjamin to get to the front.

“Hey, young man do you think we're fools” a woman shouted from the line, drawing all attention to Benjamin, Benjamin just ignored as he continued walking towards the receptionist table, a security officer came and stopped him.

“Sir, he is with me” Daniella called out to the security officer who was pushing Benjamin away.

As Benjamin crossed over he gave Daniella a handshake saying “I knew you would be here”

“Ben” Karen shouted in the middle of the crowd as she struggled her way out the way Benjamin also did.

“That's my sister” He said introducing his sister to Daniella.

“Okay, she has the same looks as you” Daniella said looking at her as she was pushing through the crowd.

The security officer stopped her, as he looked at Daniella “she's with us” Daniella said with a nod.

“I'm just glad you escorted me here, do you know how much time it would have taken for me to get a ticket” Karen said as they entered the main building.

“Karen this is Daniella”Benjamin said introducing Daniella to her.

“Are you the owner of this fashion salon?” Karen asked trying to keep up there pace.
