The Rourke Reckoning

Meet Astrid🙃

Wakie!! Wakie!! Mrs Rourke said sliding the curtains to the left causing the morning ray light into the room

Will you wake up? You will be late for school!! She added noticing the daughter wasn’t making a move to leave the bed.

School?? What school?? Quing thought rolling on bed

School?? Quing said aloud and jerk up

Quing you’re alright? Her mom said slowly

Ohh mom, I’m fine, Good Morning what’s the time??

Good morning dear. It’s past 7 already, freshen up so I can drop you off at school. Mrs Rourke said and emptied the dust bin into a black leather bag she came with

Okay. Quing simply replied

Your bath is prepared, just take a quick one and come down stairs for breakfast. Her mom ordered

Thanks mom. She appreciates

Ohh Incase I forget, what happened to the paste I got you last week

Ohh that, Ishmael borrowed mine last night. She answered abruptly

Okay, I kept a new one for you though

Awwwww so cute. Quing murmur

No one, like momma, right?? Her mom bragged

Sure. Quing replies

Do a quick one princess, don’t keep me waiting. Mom said

You know I can drive to school? Quing muttered

Don’t be so clumsy. Mrs Rourke turned back and said

I just don’t want you to be late for work. She said coming down the bed

Ohh I see, you’ve grown up but still dear I insist.

If you say so ma’am, it will be cool to have my favorite person in the world ride me to school on my first day. Quing said throwing her hands in the air

My pleasure princess

Say it one more time momma

My pleasure princess. Mrs Rourke said and turned to leave

I’ll meet you in a minute.Quing said and made for the bathroom

Few minutes later I was out of the bathroom . I grabbed my body lotion and rubbed it all over my body, took my face cream and rubbed a little quality on my face smoothly.

I went to my dress room and checked out suitable clothes for today. I decided on a white ragged Jean and a short sleeve purple crop top with a white loafers and socks. I walk towards the mirror with a cupboard where I keep my makeup kits, I brought out my lips gloss, mascara, eye liner and did the magic every girl does and then went over to my hair lose up the bun and apply my hair cream then comb is down took a hair ban and tied my hair in a pony, did my edges and I was ready to go.

What’s keeping her? I heard mom said

Not to worry am here I said walking towards my mom

She’s here. Lucille please help me call Ishmael for breakfast

What are we having for breakfast? I said giving my mom a light peck

I made Noodles for you and Ishmael

So you’re not still taking breakfast today

Not at all. I’ll just…

Take my green tea and be fine I interrupted

Ohh cool. You know me right.common take a seat

Alright, mom can I have a cup of tea

I too, mom, a quick one not really hot. Ishmael said walking down the stairs with the maid behind

Hey son

Good morning mom. Ishmael said walking towards the dining table.

Good morning dear, come sit for breakfast. Mom said spacing out a chair for him to seat

I’ll get the tea ready she said and left

Good morning brother

Good morning. Ready for school?He asked

Yeah

Nice dress by the way, good impression 100%

Thanks, you don’t look bad either. I said taking a piece of beef into my mouth

Sure.You’ve got a handsome brother yuuno, he said with a smirk

Don’t you get tired of that

What?? he asked smirking

The smirks. I said faintly

I don’t do that. He denied

Of course you do, you just did it a second ago. I questioned

Whatever!! he said with an eye roll

Rolling eyes?? I said

There you go again. What’s it? He inquired

Nothing but those don't suit you, just stop it already. I told him

Can we eat and be at peace? He pleaded

Why not try pieces? I said trailing my fingers round his beards

Get your fingers off me

Shhhh…. No need to yell. I said slowly

You’re acting weird all of the sudden. Ishmael said feeling disgusted

What’s going on here mom cuts in coming towards us

It’s Quing. She’s being annoying

Is that true mom asked,while I just stare at her and scoffed nodding my heads in disapproval

Here is your tea Ish and yours Quing. You need to be quick, you've got no time left. Lucille tell Bryan to get the red Avalon ready please

Ok ma’am. The chef replied

There were minutes of silence until a song by Daure interrupted the silence; it was traced to Ishmael's phone. He excuse himself to pick up his call and came back announcing he was leaving for work and will skip breakfast

But why? Mom tried inquiring

Well the Directives of CNN will be arriving very soon and I have an appointment with them by 8: 30, so I should be going now

Ok son stay safe.

Bye Ishmael drive safely I said waving at him

You too be quick with that he said and blow me a kiss

Be quick princess mom said as soon as Ishmael went out of sight

Ok mom I simply stated taking a mouthful of noodles

Be careful with that,mom said taking a sip from the cup she held

Few minutes later, after I was done with my breakfast, mom dropped me off at school and bade my goodbye. I turned to go as mom made a U turn to go when a car drove past me at high speed, getting me startled a bit. I let out a sigh of relief as I turned to face the bill board which had on it Georgia College,Texas. Ohh GCT this as always been my dream school,I said not realizing I was a bit loud

Ouch! this is rather my worst nightmare a voice said beside me

I turned to check and saw a lady in a black vest and mini skirt with my same loafers..!!!!

Hey I’m Astrid she said stretching forth her hands for a handshake

I’m Quing I said smiling totally avoiding the handshake

That was quite rude, she said, slightly withdrawing her hands. I guess you’re new here

Yes..??? I said wondering why she was asking

Same here. I just moved to the states with my parents. What’s your discipline?

Economics I simply replied

Nice one I’m in International relations.

Wow, that’s the same faculty I guess

Yea social science

Well formally I’m Quing Rourke I said
