Chapter 3 Welcome to Demini high school

"A miracle is another name for hard work"

~~~

Tamilore Johnson POV

Welcome to demini high school, a popular school in mecianda, situated in langose, the capital city of mecianda.

A high school for the rich, elite, and popular kids of mecianda. the heiress, heirs, future CEOS, and celebrities. The school is for them.

Our uniform consists of a red jacket, red tie, white short sleeved shirt with a black pencil skirt and black tights for the girls and dress pants and belt for boys, with a black shoe to compliment the uniform.

The school is owned by my father, Gideon Johnson. We don't get along because he never had time for me. Let's not get into my boring story...

**********

"All senior students should come to the meeting hall please, I repeat all senior students should come to the assembly hall please"the principal voice resounded in the hallway of the senior year students.

"What's does the principal has to say? Cause the last time I checked, we don't go to the assembly hall except for some events."Tristan, my best friend commented as we walked to the hall.

"You know something, guys.."Hillary bites into his chocolate cookies before he continued. "Maybe the principal wants to announce a big party with lots and lots of foods"

Hillary is my other best friend and a foodie. He eats anything called food and sometimes I do wonder why I'm friends with him. Well, people call us the triple three cause we are always seen together and we were popular in langose. Paparazzi follow us around like a lost puppy trying to get a hint on what happened in our lives. We were the most popular students in Langose so I have heard.

"Let's go find out what the principal has to say, "I told them and we all walked into the assembly hall.

"Welcome senior student"the principal miss captain, a woman in her mid-fifties greeted as all the students settled down in the hall that was large enough to accommodate a thousand students. The three of us sat down at the front row that was reserved for us.

" The CEO of this school and the board of directors had decided to pick our best 9 students to team up with another high school on an exploration to the ancient museum here in langose" the principal announced

"Old museum!!, what the heck?" The student began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Silence!!!!!" The principal shouted for them to stop talking.

Someone raised their hands among the student.

"Yes Courtney, do you have anything to say? "The principal asked a short girl who stood up and asked her question.

"Principal ma'am, who are we teaming up with? "She asked and sat back on her chair.

"You are teaming up with plan high school" the principal announced.

"Plan!! " someone shouted from the crowd.

"Principal ma'am with all due respect that's is the lamest thing I have ever heard. "Alexa the queen bee of demini high school commented.

Well, Alexa and I had a thing going on for a while until I decided to break it off but, she still thinks I'm her boyfriend.

"There is nothing lame about what I have just said Alexa"Miss captain replied.

"We can't go with plan, they are the worst school ever. If you could please speak to the board of directors or whatever to change this lame idea of going on an exploration with a stupid school like plan. Even their name sounds boring. Plan!! Urgh "Alexa scrunched her face in disgust.

"Perhaps you could be of help since your mother is part of the boards." ms captain raised a brow as she speaks to Alexa, Alexa rolled her eyes in annoyance and sat back on her seat.

"Any other objections... "Nobody raised her hands so miss captain continued.

"Since nobody is complaining, here is what the exploration is all about... Nine students are representing the demini senior student. It's a three days expedition so be prepared."

"Can you call the names already ms captain, some of us have things to do"someone from the student complained? Ms captain eye the student through her glasses and continued what's she was saying.

"Here are the names of the nine students representing our school.

"Henrietta future. "She called the first name and everyone turned to look at a girl who sat down alone with her nose buried in her book. "Henrietta please come on stage.".

Henrietta looked around to see if the principal was calling someone else. Henrietta's future is Hillary's twin but they rarely talk. While Hillary is popular, Henrietta was the invisible one. Her nose is always buried in her books.

"Make sure you don't fall as you walk nerd "Gary, the school trouble teased as Henrietta walked to the stage"

"I hate the guy a lot"

"Melody Donovan "the principal called, a girl sitting beside Alexa groaned as she stood up.

"What the heck? Why will they choose me for this stupid exploration with a stupid school". Melody complained and walked to the stage and stand beside Henrietta.

"Tristan Dion "the principal called, Tristan looked up from his phone was gave the principal a what look.

"Well looks like my best friend is going on the exploration."

"Yes I'm talking to you Dion get on the stage please"the principal called.

Tristan hissed and stood up from his seat and walked to the stage, he took a stand beside melody who drools and stares at him like a lost puppy. "She has a crush on him"

"Sola Raymond" the principal called. A guy with dreadlocks stood up from where he was seated. All I know about sola is that he doesn't talk too much and the only person he moves around with was his girlfriend.

"Bianca Clinton " ms captain called, the crowd clapped as a girl stood up.

"A great couple combination"some guys whistled at her.

Bianca is Sola's girlfriend and the two of them being together in an exploration made the crowd amused. Our school sure knows how to pick their students.

"Ms captain knows how to pair two lover birds together, a great exploration this is"Gary joked again and fist-bump a guy beside him.

"He is trouble"

Ms captain cleared her throat and continued. "Hillary future"

"Me? "Hillary asked as he bites into a bar of chocolate in his hand.

"She is talking to your shadow future" Gary commented.

"Well, clearly you don't have to let out your frustration because you weren't chosen Gary"Hillary replied to him and walk to the stage.

"Tamilore Johnson" the principal called.

"Tamilore what? This must-have being my father's ideal."

"The principal decided to add the triple three to the exploration!!, the principal is a good combiner ". Gary commented again.

"That's was a rude comment, another word from you, and it detention for a week"ms captain warned. "Tamilore Johnson the stage please "she called but I pretended I didn't hear anything until a boy at my back decided to tap me.

"What?"I glared at him and he quickly apologized

"You are needed on the stage Johnson," the principal said through the microphone that's was in her hand.

"Why I'm I needed on the stage ms captain, "I asked in a low tone.

"It appears that's you haven't been listening to all I had been saying, well for this you are leading the exploration ".

"What's exploration?? "I questioned pretending I didn't understand what the principal was saying.

The principal gave no reply and pointed on stage, "I'll like it if you could get on stage, or should I call your father and tell him you've refused to represent his school"ms captain said more like a threat.

I hate when she uses my dad to threaten me but I had no say in this so I swallowed my pride and went to the stage.

"Next is Garry Williams"the principal called, Garry laughed as he walks to the stage.

"Looks like I'm chosen for the great exploration" he announced and his friends clapped for him.

"This exploration is going to be a stupid one"

"Finally... The last student to go for the exploration is... "The remaining student shifted on their seat as they waited for ms captain's announcement. "Alexa martins. "

"Alexa what? I'm not going on a stupid exploration "Alexa refused.

"Say that when you see your mum" the principal replied. "Get on stage Alexa".

Alexa scoffed and walked to the stage, she glares at a boy who was staring at her.

"Look at me again and I'll pluck your eyes out" she threatened.

"She could be very aggressive"

"Well, there you have them, the student representing us at the exploration with plan high school. You all are meeting up with plan high school and the teachers in charge of this exploration are Mr. Adams and ms Diana. "

"Two days? that's too soon!! "Melody complained.

"At least you could have paired us with some other schools not plan!! "Alexa muttered under her breathe.

"If you have anything to say, Alexa, might as well just say it now or tell your mother later." seeing that Alexa wasn't saying anything else ms captain continued. "That's is all senior student you are all dismissed."

The student all stood up and walked out of the hall murmuring as they go.
