chapter 1
"come help me serve the customers"Lilia said calling Tiffany's attention, Tiffany turned with a smile and started serving the customers.
Lilia has been a generous person to her and always give her money after serving the customers,she got to the customers table and asked what what will like to eat.
The seems to be students who came to the restaurant for lunch because Lilia's restaurant is pretty close to Bright high school,a popular high school in the state.
we will go for crab portage,soup and cheese, also get us mineral water with any appetizer available thank you.
one of them said smiling, Tiffany gave a sweet smile back and went to get to bring their order.
"gees!stop smiling you look really scary"Aiden said giving Austin a light punch,"ouch that hurts,but honestly don't you think that the girl is quite pretty?I wonder what school she attends to."yeah she is pretty but she seems to be a rural girl, not exactly my type,I prefer them Hot and sexy"Aiden said with dreamily eyes"guys we are here to eat not to talk about a waitress"Carter said with a stern face, Austin and Aiden gave him a look,"why are you complaining? can't you be like Rey who has been quiet since we came here?
"Rey is obviously partially mute and boring,why will I want to be like him? Carter said angrily.
Austin and Aiden turned to Rey expecting to see him angry but his attention was on Tiffany who has just arrived with their order.
Tiffany got to their table and kept their orders and was about to leave when one of the boys held her hand.
"my name is Austin, what is yours? Austin asked her with a smile, my name is Tiffany,she said"your name is cute, which school do you go to"he asked"I haven't started school yet,she said nervously.
I will like us to hangout out together "Austin said with a smile."let her go we don't have time to waste anymore "Rey said.
"dude aren't you mute?why do you have to talk at a time like this "Austin said wanting to provoke Rey who remain nonchalant and started eating.
sensing the awkwardness Tiffany quietly left them.
"man you are really boring and your words are boring as well no wonder that you are a pretty, popular and intelligent yet you have no girlfriend,"Austin said
"yeah which girl would want a boring guy like him"Aiden said but sensing that doesn't care he continued eating leaving Austin who still complains
"who knows if the pretty girl would change her mind if I ask her again"Austin mutters "boy you can't seem to shut up can you, you are ruining everyone appetite with your speech"Carter said.
"if you want an appetite go to another table, I am just expressing my grief what has that got to do with you, it's not surprising that you couldn't talk to the girl you have been crushing on for a year now,I bet you will pee on your pants if you finally managed to talk to her.
Aiden suppressed his laughter while Carter was furious.
"say it again "Carter said standing up in anger,"but I didn't lie or did I? you were just afraid that...."before he could speak any further Carter landed him a punch on the jaw making Austin fall on the floor with a loud thud.
everyone rushed out to know what was going on, Austin Sense someone staring at him,so he turned and saw Tiffany.
he was embarrassed that Tiffany saw him and he didn't want to face her anymore so he turned to Carter.
"you! don't worry I will make sure you pay for this"Austin said and hurriedly left avoiding eye contact with anyone.
Tiffany turned to Rey who was eating as if nothing happened," why were you guys fighting just now ?"someone from the crowd asked"fighting? they weren't really fighting, they were just playing around don't worry later you will see them chatting as if nothing ever happened"Aiden said and continued to eat,"that's right we're just playing around "Carter said slowly and continue eating as well, everyone relaxed and went to their table.
Tiffany thought that they are weird especially the one with a red hoodie who kept eating and didn't say anything,
feeling the state Rey turned and saw Tiffany staring at him, she immediately looked away from him and left
Rey continued to eat his food with out bother, to be honest it's not the first time a girl stared at him, infact he is known as the school heartthrob with a cold personality
after working for hours Tiffany was very tired "go home and rest you must be very tired,take this and take care of yourself""thank you auntie,"Tiffany said and took the money from Lilia.
today she has planned to visit her sister and didn't want to stay longer at the restaurant.
she quickly made her way to the market and bought children đ§žđȘ for her before leaving for the orphanage.
"sister!!"Campbell greeted her , the little girl was already five years old and yet she has not been adopted yet.
although she was happy to see Campbell she still hope that she would be taken to a place where she would be well taken care of.
she gave the toys she bought to her, Campbell was happy and played around with the toys, after staying with her for sometime she left to her home,", the cracking worn out house"she warmed up the food given to her by Lilia and ate until she was satisfied, After eating she slowly made her way to a lesson school she paid tuition fees for.
the school was an old building probably abandoned until a professor started teaching there in hope to help youth who are too poor to go to school.
in the school Tiffany was considered very brilliant that her professor has promised to find a way for her to get enrolled in a normal school.
"welcome to school Tiffany how are you doing"the professor Dave asked
I'm doing well professor Dave"she said he smile"that's good, about the project I gave if you are done with yours you can submit them,he said before going to the front of the class to teach physics
after the lesson Dave went to Tiffany "about you going to a normal school I have secured a place for you at Bright high school but you need to pass an exam and once it is done you can move in to Bright high school, "Dave said, Tiffany couldn't believe her eyes that she could actually go to a normal school,"what about the tuition fees"she asked still excited"I will take care of it if you promise to make me proud"Dave said Tiffany gave a big smile I promise you that I will make you proud "she said Dave gave a satisfied smile and left.
Tiffany couldn't contain her joy ,soon she will go to a normal school she has dreamed of
*******
for the next two weeks Tiffany continued the lesson preparing for the exam.
on the day of the exam Tiffany was pretty energetic and she woke up with a high spirit.
she made her way to the exam center where she wrote the exam, according to her the exam was pretty simple and she was sure her result will be good.
feeling tired she bought some snacks and ate before taking a nap.

as expected Tiffany made a good result, she couldn't stop smiling as she approach Dave "I made it"she shouted,"you did it am proud of you"Dave said rejoicing.
Tiffany knew it was just the beginning of a new beginning
