ROYAL PEARLS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
:

I looked round the school compound and truth be told, It looked more beautiful than Prestigious(my former school as it was soon going to be)…

:
I USE THIS MEDIUM TO PLEAD WITH ALL PARENTS TO HANDLE THEIR CHILDREN WITH CARE AND NOT JUMP INTO CONCLUSIONS BECAUSE WHAT I PASSED THROUGH IN ROYAL PEARLS COULD BE TERMED AS BEING WORSE THINGS THAT HAD EVER HAPPENED TO ME…
:

The school was painted blue and white and as the name “ROYAL” implies, blue stands for royalty.

The fence was rounded with curled electrified wires and flowers decorated the high fence that one could hardly see any building outside from the inside. Everywhere looked neat and tidy.

The flowers had been trimmed and the grasses beside the paths were cut very low too. The arrangement of the buildings and blocks looked good too. One and two storey building respectively.

Mom led me to a building that was a flat and then to an office.

Inside the office, a man in grey coloured suits stood up to greet us. He was the principal as I later knew but
unlike some principal’s, he didn’t have a pot belly and he looked handsome too with his gold wristwatch and diamond ring glittering as the lights from the office shone brightly on them.

“Good morning sir,” I greeted with a forced smile, courtseying a little.

“Morning, she’s Becky right?” he asked mom.

“Yes,” mom smiled and nodded.

“Please have a sit,” he smiled too, gesturing at the armchairs infront of his desk. We sat down while he adjusted his belt and did same. They soon fell to talking but as for me, my mind was with David inside the class at prestigious international school.

After about an hour of their bla bla bla, Mom collected the prospectus and what have you, then we left the office and headed straight to the seamstress department where my measurement was taken for a new uniform…
:
Leaving the school, we headed to the bank to pay the school fees. Back then in the school, I wondered where the students where because I only saw about five walking towards a building behind.

“Mom!” I called as we drove towards the market to get some stuffs. The only thing that excited me about my new school was the fact that I was soon going to start having my own pocket money not the one that I had in the bank and mom took charge of my ATM etc.

“Yea Becky,” Mom answered. “You like your new school?” she asked with her eyes still fixed on the road.

“Far from that mom, that school irritates me,” I frowned.

Mom smiled, “Yeah, because you’re new. You will learn to love it more than prestigious.”

“Changing my school could make matters worse mom.”

“No, you’re mistaken.”

“Okay,” I swallowed. “I want to ask for a favour?”

“Ask.”

“Can I please visit David today, probably for the last time, then we take a stroll to school for the last time as well,” I requested.

Mom glanced at me, “Okay but don’t try anything stupid.”
I smiled, “I promise mom.”

“Good,” she said and we became silent again…

FAST FORWARD

PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
:

David and I arrived school at about 4:30pm. The school compound looked deserted and was very quiet too except for those who always come to see the principal that usually drives in big cars.

One could always go to the school anytime except after 6:30pm, so David and I had nothing to worry about and besides we were students of the school. We walked to our class and sat on a locker at the far end.

“I’m sorry Becky, this is all my fault,” David apologised as he held my hands in his, carressing it.

“No David, no need to apologise.”

“Tell me about the school, how is it?”

I sq££zed my face, “It makes me sick, I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Today was terrible without you, I doubt if I’ll be able to cope without you,” David said, sounding sober.

“Same here Dave,” I saif sadly and looked at him directly in the eye.

“I love you Becky and I’ll miss you so much,” David said. I stared at him blankly and didn’t know when tears rolled down my cheeks and he reached out and wiped them.

“Kiss me David,” I requested.

David’s eyes widened in shock, “What!”

“Please,” I pleaded. “You have no idea of how I feel inside.”

“This is public and anyone can come around,” David protested.

“I brought you here because it’s more secured. Please just do it this once please,” I pleaded again and thrusted my head towards him.

David swallowed hard and within seconds, our lips locked. We started gently at first but it later metamorphosed into something I’d never forget in a hurry…
