He Made Me A Prostitute

Chapter 12 LUCA

Literally,I was scared. Scared that they might be worse but I had to lie. "Really?", Raymond asked again. I don't know if he was trying to put fear into me or if there was something else but the way he was staring at me was beginning to make my palm sweat. We kept staring at each other in silence.It was we were on a staring contest until Almond spoke.

"Are you up to 18?", Almond asked. "No I'm not. Why did you ask?", I asked back. " Okay since you're not up to 18, we will help you obtain a student visa so you can start attending school. We will help you get your passport and every other thing you need so you can go back to school", Almond said. I was shocked,I wanted thank them but then I remembered that Stephen promised me the same thing. Kelvin also promised to send me back to Nigeria but none of them fulfilled their promises. Why should I believe these men?

" Awwn so heart touching", I said sarcastically and stood up. " Thank you guys so much", I said again and left. I heard Almond ask his brothers." Was that sarcasm?". "What does it look like?", I heard Desmond say.

TWO MONTHS LATER

Just as promised I got a student visa known as 'Tipo D' or 'National' visa. And then I started attending high school. My school was in an eight-hundred-year-old building that had had a multitude of functions in its history, most notably a wealthy family home and then a convent. Looking closely on the walls and ceilings inside, one might see the faint remnants of the paintings that once adorned the building.

Our Classes always started at 8pm. I made a new friend a week after I started attending classes. Just like me,She was a Nigerian but she was born and raised here. Sara was an extrovert and she knew lots of people.

On one sunny day, During the fifteen minutes break we usually had, I was seated in class while most of my class mates went to get snacks. I decided to keep my self busy by reading a story. Sara had gone to the rest room. When she came back, she smiled at me. " What's up beautiful?", she asked. That was strange.

"Did you go to the rest room to smoke?", I asked jokingly. "No", she said. "Then what's up with the weird smile? and you don't call me beautiful before so why did you suddenly call me that?", I asked her. "well, guess", she said. "you are getting married", I said. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm just sixteen", Sara said."you asked me to guess and I did", I told her. "You are so frustrating peggy", she said, still smiling at me. "Hmm. I'm beginning to get scared of your smile. What's making you smile ?", I asked her.

"Okay. Luca said he likes you", she said. Luca was an Italian and he was the famous guy in the class. He was a spoilt rich guy from a very rich home and he was such a proud boy. I noticed that most girls in my class were always around him during the break period and they always gossiped him whenever he wasn't in class. I still couldn't understand why girls were falling for such a brat. He wasn't so handsome neither was he such a bright student. Maybe it was because of his background.

" Tell him I said thank you", I said. "Thank you? Shouldn't you be happy he likes you?", she asked. " oh yeah I'm happy. Can't you see I'm also blushing? ", I asked. " That was sarcasm right?", she asked with a frown. "That is a YES! now please excuse me I was reading a novel when you interrupted me", I said and Continued reading my story. "Peggy seriously?", she asked but I ignored her. She sighed and left the class.

A short while after she left, she came back. Shortly after, Luca entered the class. I noticed that he was stealing glances at me through out the lessons. After closure, he blocked me on my way home. "Excuse me", I said to him. "peggy can we talk?", he asked. "About what?", I asked back. "I told your friend that I liked you", he said. "And I told her to thank you", I said.

"I like you Peggy and I want you to be my girlfriend", he said. I immediately bursted into laughter and he felt embarrassed. "The fact that girls are always around you and wishes to be your girlfriend doesn't mean I'd do same. Thank you for liking me but I'm sorry,I can't be your girlfriend. Now please excuse me", I said, pushed him aside and walked away. I boarded a taxi to go home.

When I got home, Doris and the new house help Olivia were preparing dinner."Good evening", I greeted them."good evening how was school today?", Doris asked me. "it was good. Uhmm they aren't back?", I asked her. " Well only master Raymond is back. The others aren't. That was strange, the four usually came back together. I immediately went to have a shower and change into a home dress then I went to Raymond's room. The door was slightly ajar so I entered without knocking but then I saw Raymond putting on just boxers.
