Bella has always placed her studies first, even back in the village you could hardly see her playing like other kids.She preferred studying or helping her parents with farm work rather than join her friends or classmates in gossiping or playing. Her academic performance has always been the best reason why her parents are so proud of her. Her parents are ready to do anything humanly possible to send Bella to school.Her father being a retired teacher and her mom a housewife, they decided to focus on farming to raise money for Bella's Education. EVE: Bella wake up, let's freshen up and go to school. BELLA: So it's already morning eh ( while getting up ) I can't believe I slept this much.

BELLA: says who; hahahaha . this is the first time you've said something reasonable ( teasingly) EVE: you are not serious Bella, hahahaha .go and freshen up dull girl ( laughing) They left for school .After compiling all her documents Bella dropped her admission file and they went back home.it took Bella one week to finish the inscription. BELLA: ah! I can now rest ,I didn't know the inscription would be this stressful. EVE: yeah! That's what it takes to become an official student of this prestigious institution. BELLA: I can now rest, and go around town.what if we visit the national park tomorrow? EVE: if that's what you want. Then we will have to go early because I will be going out with my boyfriend in the evening. BELLA: Hmmmm! So you have a boyfriend eh . EVE: Yes , you will meet him tomorrow, Patrick is such a nice person . BELLA: I was wondering why you make midnight calls everyday. EVE: chaii! Bella, and I thought you were asleep when doing my calls ( laughing) BELLA: You have really changed Eve, I remember when you were leaving the village two years ago your dad warned you to stay away from boys, if only he could see the way you chat with your boyfriend at night hahahaha. EVE: The most important thing is that I'm making him proud with my school results. I'm not getting younger 'sooner or later I will have to get married and you don't expect me to marry my dad hahahaha.
