Arrival of Helen Allan
Dorah was at school when her friends, Miranda, prudence, and Emma, came to her
during break. They were all in the same class except Miranda who was a year
ahead of them. "What's up, dorah?" Emma greeted as she sat on Dorah's locker.
"I'm fine and you?" Dorah asked. "We're all fine" Miranda answered. "Guys, I'm
hungry" Emma said rubbing her stomach. "I know from the start that you're a
foodie" Prudence said as they laughed at Emma while she frowned. "Guys" Emma
grunts as she folded her arms on her chest. They stopped laughing seeing her
seriousness.v"okay guys, let's go" Miranda said. "Don't you think you should get a
boyfriend?" Emma asked Miranda. "I don't want any" Miranda answered as they
got out of their class. "Why?" Emma asked "Emma"Prudence called shutting her a
glare. "Hey, what are friends for? She just wants to know my reasons" Miranda
said. "I wonder" Emma said. "Well, dear Emma, the same reason you didn't have a
boyfriend is also the same reason I'm single" Miranda said making them burst into
laughter. "Why have you guys been against me since morning?" Emma asked
rolling her eyes. Just then they heard noise as they're approaching the cafeteria.
"The flower boys" Emma exclaimed. "Oh my gosh, God please let Jason follow
them this time around" Prudence said with her palms together. Dorah grunt while
Miranda just keep a smiling face. As expected the flower boys appeared. The four
made way for them but the stopped on getting to them. "Hi " Max, one of the
flower boys, greeted as everywhere went silent, probably, they all are interested in
what they wants to talk about. "Hello" Others greeted except Emma who kept on
beaming. "Dorah, can we talk? I mean privately" Max said. "Well, no. I have
things to do"She said. "Dorah please"Ronald pleaded.
(Well, a perfect introduction of the flower boys, some refer them to as YOUNG
STARS. They're three in total and they're mostly called the FLOWER BOYS.
Max, Ronald, and Jason. Max, he's really considered as the oldest among them.
He's always with a serious a serious expression except he's only with the rest.
Jason, he's the most quiet among them. He keeps a non serious and non smiley
expression and only that alone makes lots of girls falls. Ronald, the son of the
owner of the school. He's a flirt and sometimes playful. They're all together as a music band and friends. They've got so many teenage awards and they're
intelligent. They're considered the star of the school.)
"Your weakness" Prudence whispered making dorah glared at her. "Okay, but hope
you won't take much of my time?" Dorah asked "Not at all" Max said. "Okay, we'll
be waiting for you in the cafeteria" Miranda said as they walked away. The flower
boys and Dorah walked to the young star studio because it's the closest. "So, what
now, seniors?"Dorah asked with a bow. "Well, still want to talk to you about the
band" Max said as Ronald and Jason went to sit down while he stood before
Dorah. "Well, I don't want to be disrespectful but I thought we already talked about
this" Dorah said. "But we still need someone like you" Max said. "But I already
told you that, that day was a mistake. What else did you want to hear?" Dorah
asked. "Dorah......." "I'm sorry sir. I'll take my leave. My friends are waiting for
me" Dorah said. "Am I permitted?"She asked. "Yes, you can go" Ronald answered
and Dorah left. "Ronald" Max and Jason groaned. "Can't you guys see she's
uncomfortable being around us. Just let her be, we'll get another person" Ronald
said. "f**k. I'm never giving up" Max said as Mr Alfred entered. "Wish you guys
good luck" Ronald said. "Did I miss anything ? What are you guys talking about?"
Mr Alfred asked as he sat on a nearby deckchair. "Nothing" Max said as he ran his
hair through his head. " They're talking about dorah so I just tell them to give"
Ronald said making Max scoffed.
On getting home that day, as usual, Dorah didn't met anyone at home . Her mum
has not return from work. As she changed into something comfortable, after eating
she did her homework, then, decided to go online. The first message she saw was
that of a guy, Jace, whom she has been chatting with for days now . They talked
and through that the guy started asking her out.
Dorah: you can't tell me you didn't have a girlfriend
Jace: I do but it's only online dating. We haven't met before.
They continued chatting and she later discovered the girlfriend's name . They
exchanged contacts and she even messaged the so called girlfriend on f*******: .

"Good morning" Their homeroom teacher greeted as he entered with a new
students. "Morning, sir" they all chorused. "Today we have a new student admist
us. Introduce yourself" Mr Edward said smiling at the new girl. "Hi, guys. Myname is Helena Allan. It's nice meeting you all and I'll be happy if you treat me
like a friend and not a stranger" Helena said smiling. "You're welcome" "you're so
cute" "you slay" "we got you" they all gave different replies. "Order. Class
president" Mr Edward called. "Not in school" "Assistant" "Yes, sir" Dorah
answered standing up. "Welcome Helena . It's nice to have you in our school and
class. My name is Dorah Howard. You can just call me Dorah" Dorah said smiling.
Helena keeps wondering where she has seen Dorah before. She looks so familiar to
her. "You can take a sit beside Dorah" Mr Edward said to Helena. Dorah gave her
a smile as she sat beside her.
It was really a nice day for Helena, she told her mother about her first experience
in school. She even made a new friend, dorah. Her mother was actually happy that
her daughter gets along pretty well with those in her new school. After her mother
left she messaged her boyfriend and told him about her new school.
"Why does it seems like I know this Helena?" Dorah mumbled as she changed
from her school uniform. She grunts as she try so hard to look back in her memory
of figured out where she ever met Helena. "Why's it so hard remembering her?"
She said rolling her eyes. "Maybe she's not that important" She added checking
herself in the mirror before going out of her room. She paused as she got to her
door. "Wait! Helena Allan! What's she doing here" she exclaimed.
