Nothing but badluck..
SELENE’S POV
” I am Jade, nice meeting you.” Jade said as she clasped me. I sighed with relief because for a little minute, I believed Jade was not going to respond, as when I did stretched my hand, she stared at me blankly before responding too. She took my hand and we exchanged pleasantries. ” I am Selene” I said as she took my hand, ” I am here for whatever you may need, notes and any other things. You can call me once you need help.” I said again as I smiled broadly.
I wanted so much to be friends with her and I was thankful that she did not ignore me as that would have been the talk of the class. ” The new girl snubs Selene as she tried to be friends with her.” I envisioned the caption of the rumor. Just when I had made sure Davis was the talk on everyone lips, I didn’t want any repeat of what had happened before.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
After we shook hands, we turned to face the teacher, who continued her conversation on other topics.
Moments after the class teacher left, I wanted to talk to her but realized that Davis had approached her first before I could get a chance. As I watched them exchanged pleasantries, to everyone shock, she hugged him. “Are they acquainted?” I questioned Xavier, who was now standing at my side.” I guess he had walked to my side without my notice as I was engrossed with watching Jade and Davis.
” I suppose so; they would not be so close if they did not know each other.” He responded as we watched both of them chat.
School ended and they departed together when the bell rang, and I assumed they were going to the entrance where we would wait for the driver. However, when I arrived at the entrance of the school where we had been dropped off earlier with Xavier, the driver was waiting for us and there was no sight of Davis.
Xavier’s driver had arrived to pick him up and he left after saying his goodbyes as soon as we got to the entrance. Surprisedly Uncle Karl was not in the car, the driver had come alone.
I stood at the entrance and the driver asked me when we waited for a moment if I had seen Davis. ” Where is Davis?” He asked and Shrugging , I replied ” I dnt know where he is, I guess he is with his friends.”
Moments afterwards, I saw Jason his best buddy and asked about him about Davis. “Where is Davis?” I asked him as he approached the entrance, his driver had come to pick him up. ” He is in class.” I was much more enraged by his response.” Why would he be in class, when he knew we had to head home?” I hurried to the class, sighing irritably, “Let me see if I can call him.” I said to the driver as I rushed back to class.
As I approached the entryway, I observed the classroom was silent and thought no one was present. I decided to check to make sure, and I watched Jade storm out of class.” Hi Jade, did you hap… pen to see Davis.” She went out fiercely, and when I called her, she did not even pause, so I stumbled over my words, astonished by her attitude. She seemed rather furiously as she walked along. ” What’s wrong with her?” I questioned myself as I sighed again. ” What an attitude?”
Still pondering on why Jade had stormed out like that, I noticed Davis acome out of the class in a rush in pursuit of Jade. He was calling out for Jade but she did not answer. And thereafter there was Vala, Davis supposed girlfriend, she walked slowly after them. Gazing at Vala’s contenance I knew for sure Vala had gone something to Jade.
Even though, Davis was too young for a girlfriend, he had one and he was just twelve years old, I guess it just fitted his status as a bully. I hurried and followed them as they left.
Jade driver seemed to have come and she got into the car before Davis had time to talk to her and drove off.” She is angry, I guess.” But what did Davis do wrong, I didn’t know.
Davis walked slowly to the car after seeing Jade’s driver drive away into the dust, and he discovered Uncle Karl was not in it.” Where is dad?” He questioned the driver, “He is not here; Uncle Karlas some business to settle.” Instead, I answered, and he gazed at me, puzzled. He sighed, Ohhh, I was not referring to you though.” He turned to the driver, who said the same thing and informed him that his father had other obligations.
“I assume your mother is to blame for him not being able to pick me up today.” He answered while turning to gaze out the window. The travel home was peaceful and quiet. When we arrived, we highlighted, and Davis ran inside, while I strolled slowly to the house.
We met mummy on the couch groaning in pain as Uncle Karl held her.
“What’s happening, Mom?” I exclaimed, rushing over to join her on the couch. Her face was twisted in pain, and Uncle Karl stood by her side with a worried expression. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as fear gripped me tightly.
“Mom, please tell me what’s wrong!” I pleaded, tears welling up in my eyes. Her pain was unbearable to witness, and I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. Uncle Karl tried to reassure me, but his voice trembled with concern.
“Selene, your mother is experiencing intense head ache, There had been a robbery at the house.” Uncle Karl finally explained, his voice filled with worry. My heart sank as I realized that something serious might be happening. “We needed to get her help immediately, we should go to the hospital.” I said as I peered at Uncle Karl hoping he did something fast.
” Robbery?” Davis asked, I knew Selene and her mum were badluck because how can you explain a robbery barely 2 days they moved in. ” Dad they should leave.” He said turning to Uncle Karl who assured him we would be fine.
” Hey baby, mummy is fine. I just had some aspirin.” Mummy replied as she moved to the side, feigning a grin to assure me she was OK. I was uncomfortable with her remaining at home given her condition, but she insisted. Observing her, I hoped she would be well.
