Chapter 76



Her POV

I sat on my canopy bed as I tied the lace of my baseball boot.

"Hurry up!" I heard my father yell out to me as I got up on my feet.

"Coming!" I yelled back brushing my fingers through my long brown wavy hair, exhaled, grabbed my bag pack and hurried out..

"Sorry Dad" I apologized climbing into the blue four wheel drive jeep.

"Fifth sorry of the week, Princess, fifth sorry I" Dad sneered and ignited the engine.

I sighed looking out through the window as the Jeep rolled out of the premises.

Its another day, Friday. At long last.
This week has been so busy for me and I don't know if it is due to my upcoming promotional exams or what.

By the way, am Diana Arlo by name, aged 17, have quite a height, moderate melons and as for my backside.....er.... let's say I wasn't so lucky there.
I mean, it ain't so big and round like that of my mum cause she's got one great k!ller shape.

Tsk....
I got my brown eyes from her too...
That's all there is to know about me

"We are here Diana" Dad announced as I glanced out through the window.

"Thanks Dad. Bye". I appreciated giving him a light kiss on the cheek and got off the Jeep.

I exhaled tucking loose hair behind my ear and walked away from the car park.

Graham Preparatory School.....My wonderful school having so many sweet memories.
It's totally belle free, bully free...so peaceful.
All one has to do is to study hard and graduate.

Summer holiday is in two weeks and I will be moving over to grade 11.
Yaay!
I... can't... wait!.

"Diana!". I turned sharply to behold the sight of my bff's racing to me.
Ralph and Mike.

Oh yeah...
Don't be surprised, I roll more with the male sex than the female.

I chuckled happily as we had a group hug grinning like id!ots.

"How are you bunny..". Ralph asked slightly roughing my hair.

"Quit it Ralph. You will make me look odd". I whinned with a pout.

"Now isn't she one cutie?". Mike cooed and I rolled my eyeballs.

That's it...life in Graham Prep School, a sweet place to be.

DAYS LATER

Diana POV

"Turn off your clock D!" I heard Mum scream out to me.

I groaned sleepily reaching out for the clock and tossed it to the floor.
The awful sound stopped immediately and I smiled drifting off to sleep again.

I don't know how long I slept but I woke up to the blaring sound of a carnival horn into my ear.

"Damn!" I cursed falling off my bed.
My head began to ache due to the fact that I bumped it on the floor.

Oh great!...
Now am wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy inside my blanket.

I unrolled myself and weakly got off the floor yawning to see my mom standing akimbo with an arched brow.

"Good morning mum". I greeted tiredly.

"Tell me something D, would anyone ever be able to separate you from your love of sleeping?". Mum asked in a sarcastic tone and I rolled my eyeballs.

"Don't think so". I mumbled and she sighed.

"You have slept enough. Freshen up and come down for dinner". Mum stated and my jaw dropped.

She turned and made an exit as I reached out for my phone to see that the time was past 7pm already.
Fvcking 7pm!

I scoffed not wanting to believe it and hurried to the window pulling the curtains apart only to behold nightfall.
Gosh.....
********

"Good evening Dad". I greeted sitting at the table.

"Diana...". Father sighed serving himself some rice.
"Dad?".

"You tend to sleep so much that you forget to do certain things a teenager like you ought to do."
"What are you going to instill as a value into your younger sister?..". Dad scolded as I could already sense the rising anger in his voice.

I glanced at eight years old Silvia who ate her meal without bothering about whatever is going on around her.

"You need to calm down Hun... please. She is just a kid. Our baby...". Mum cooed holding Dad's left hand from her side of the table.

"She has to grow up darling so I have made a decision". Dad said and I dragged my gaze to him.

"Diana....". He peered deeply into my eyes.
"You will begin grade 11 in a boarding school". Father announced and my eyes dilated in sheee horror.
For a moment, I felt everything around me come to a sudden halt and Father's work replayed in my mind.

"Honey..?". Mum called surprised.

"It's for the best darling. She has to go, only then would she be able to learn better and take up the necessary responsibility a teenager like her ought to carry". Father replied and I scoffed as anger ran as fast as light all through me.

"You really want to send me away?". I asked still shocked and unable to believe what Dad had decided.

I got off my seat shaking my head as tears welled up in my eyes and I turned rushing to the stairs and up to my room placing Mum's calls on deafen ears...


Diana POV

"Thank you". I said to the waiter who bowed and left.

*Are you seriously leaving?". Mike asked as I stared into my mug of mocha.

"Yes...am leaving. In the next two weeks to be precise since it's a boarding school". I replied sadly.
"I really don't wanna go". I sighed burying my head on the table pushing my mug away.

"Diana..". They signed rushing to sit by my side pulling me into a group hug and buried their heads on the table by my sides.

"Diana please don't be sad. You would still come over for the holidays". Ralph assured and I lifted my head with teary eyes.

"Am gonna miss you both". I cried as we hugged for long.

"It's enough now. We should not spend our last moments together sadly. We have got to have fun!". Mike urged pulling from the hug as I smiled weakly.

Time Travel

Diana POV

I fixed the last of my belongings into my pink luggage box.

"Diana! Hurry up!" Dad called out to me and I sighed.
I zipped up my box, placed it on the floor and fixed my hair into a ponytail.

I stood taking a quick glance around the room and made an exit while rolling the box behind me.

As i got to the sitting room, I met Mum and Silvia waiting for me.

Silvia upon seeing me ran to where I stood.

"Are you seriously leaving?. You can't leave me all alone here". Silvia whinned and I felt my heart ache badly.
I let out a low sigh and squatted before her.

"Listen Silvia,.." I cooed cupping her tender cheeks.
"I am only going to school. Trust me, I will be back soon". I assured and she only shook her head.

I breathed out and pulled her into a long hug.

"I will miss you so much sis" She cried and I could only sigh.

After a great deal of hugging and tears shedding, I left with Dad for the airport.

The ride was long and extremely quiet.

"Princess.." I heard Dad call with a sigh as I glanced at him then looked out through the open window not wanting to reply him.

"Look.. I only did this for your own good". Dad added and I faced him with a scoff.

"My own good?. How?. Separating me from Mum and Silvia is for my own good?. Oh com'on Daddy". I retorted.

"I love you so much Diana that is why I am doing this. At least, you will get to see new people". Dad replied keeping his gaze on the road.

"I hate New York Daddy. I hate it".I snapped

"Princess.." He drawled and stopped the jeep due to the traffic light turning red.

"I understand exactly how you feel and trust me, you will totally love your new school". He assured and I rolled my eyeballs looking away.

We finally arrived the airport, got checked in and waited for our flight to be called.

Well... I guess I will have to accept my fate with open arms.
*
*

......New York, USA.

"..all passengers on board should please pull on your seat belts, we are about land.
*
*

"Com'on Diana, I hired a car already". Dad called out to me and I nodded pushing my luggage trolley after him.

Dad had hired a black hatch back car for our use.

Well...I would not be seeing Daddy soon and giving him an attitude and cold shoulder would not help.

"Um.. Daddy" I called.
"Yes Princess?" He replied shutting the car boot.

"How fat is the school from this place?" I asked.

"Pretty far. Get in" He replied and I nodded.

Sigh...
The ride was really far and I was feeling so hungry already.
I glanced at my watch to see the time was minutes to 12pm based on the fact that we left Mexico quite early.

"Daddy, can you pull up by any ice cream store. I need to grab something". I requested.
"Sure.."

Luckily, there was a snack and ice cream shop up ahead so we pulled over when we got to it.

I ran over some burgers and ice cream before Daddy decided to take me on a shopping spree.

Soon enough,we were back on the road till we took a bend passing through a walled street and arrived a massive gold gate with an inscription... 'Welcome To Poshville High'

We were granted access after Daddy had shown them what seemed to be a parent pass.

Well...my jaw dropped. If i am not mistaken, we just drove into a city inside a city.

Daddy drove on the broad car path and pulled up by a large circular fountain.

I stepped out of the car totally stunned.

"How do you see it Princess?". I heard Daddy ask as I fed my eyes intensively.
I had already counted over 40 buildings which are large and exquisite and partially made of glass!

Each building had it's own footpath made with black interlocks and trees were scattered all over.

"Herec is your map. It is quite big" Daddy said and I blinked hardly before collecting the long map.

Goodness!!

"Remember we have had you all cleared up so all you have to do is find the admin block,ask for Mrs.Richard and she will show you your dormitory block and room" Dad said and I nodded before hugging him really tight.

"I love you so much Daddy" I whimpered fighting back my tears as he hugged me back.

"Be a good girl okay?. I need to go" Dad said and broke the hug.

I watched him get into the car and drive out.
I suddenly felt lonely and sad.
Am in a strange country and place,...all alone!.

I checked the school map and discovered the Admin building is a fifteen minutes walk from where I stood.

I opted to leave my luggages where they are and turned on my tracking device on my watch which has been connected the luggages.

I began my walk to the building passing lots of buildings like the school auditorium, basketball court, gym, a mini mall!...a library building, a snack building, coffee building.
I have got to admit, this place has my five stars already.

I arrived the admin building and gained entrance with my student ID card.

The air con that washed my face upon my entrance was epic!

I came across a girl on mofti with a pull over on with a knitted inscription 'P.H' on it.

"Um.. excuse me". I called unto her but she acted like she did not see me.

Seriously??...

I scoffed. First thing to note; The girls here must be rude.

Still buried in thoughts, I heard someone call my name .

"Ms. Arlo?". I turned quickly to behold the smiley face of a lady.

O My Gosh!!... It's my godmother!
I grinned widely rushing to hug her.

"Aunt Kyra!". I sighed happily as we hugged then disengaged.

"How are you Diana?" She asked.
"Am very fine! Very!" I exhaled happily.

"It is obvious. Your Dad told me you would be coming to see me" she said and I creased my brows.

"You are Mrs. Richard?" I asked stunned and she nodded showing me her left ringed finger and I squealed.

"Keep calm sweetie. Com'on.. let us get you fixed in your dorm" She said and we headed for the exit...
