Chapter 2 MAKE AN IMPRESSION

Chapter 2

One week later.

JONES'S MANSION

Regina's pov

My room was completely messed up ,my clothes were scattered everywhere but I didn't give much thought to it .

I was clueless on what exactly to wear , waking up by my alarm at 6am.I had a hot shower and a little personal manicure.I knew I should have done that earlier ,just so engrossed in getting everything ready for my first day in college .

Now my room was a mess ,I totally forgot to pick an outfit the previous day , and I was getting late .

My dad walked into my room unannounced and his jaw dropped seeing my messed up room .

"What's wrong dear , your room is a mess ," he gasped and I nodded in agreement looking around the whole place. It was worse than I thought.

"I couldn't find anything suitable to wear ," I complained , tiredly bouncing back on the bed .

"Oh dear ,you should have just said so ,Ronita would have helped you find a nice dress ,you know what, I will help you out ,he said and knelt down rummaging through my clothes ,he settled for a white tank top and a pink Gucci skirt which I didn't notice I had .

He then walked into my shoe closet and brought out a pair of pink leather sandals which had a diamond butterfly design and gave me a pink jacket ,I didn't see him pick.

He placed everything on the bed and told me to change and meet him downstairs , hearing him say that.I knew he was taking me to school and it made me happy. Dad has always been a workaholic but he always had time for me.

I went into the huge dressing room still filled with some of my new and expensive dresses that I didn't want to wear ,I thought of giving it to charity ,I already have enough.

I quickly changed and checked myself out . The mirror showing my reflection .I tied my hair in a ponytail and admired myself ,not a fan of makeup,so just a little lip gloss would do ,and I looked really beautiful ,the clothes dad picked for me were amazing ,it fitted me well ,I thought of asking him his secret in knowing the right things to pick for me then I remember he is a fashion model and works with females my age after all my dad is not that old ,he still looks young and vibrant ,no one would suspect he is 36 when he is looking like a 24 year old .

I came out of my closet and saw the housekeeper and headmaid arranging my clothes back in place ,a 53 year old vibrant mother and the best nanny I could ever ask for.

"Good morning Ronita ,how was your night?''I asked, picking up my bag and notepad .

"It was amazing , Cinderella ," I blushed at her response. She calls me Cinderella for some sort of reason. She said I looked like the Disney princess.

"That's great ,oh I was wondering if you could help me transfer my clothes in the closet to Stacy ,I want to give them up for charity ,I said and she nodded with a huge warm smile on her face .

Stacy is Ronita's daughter , she's a philanthropist and also owns an orphanage for girls and boys separately ,she saves homeless females ,both young and old , mostly the abused ones , and for males as well doing the same, she's one of my role models ,I love what she does and hope I get the chance to save lives too.

"I will ,thank you dear ,Ronita says I stepped forward giving her a bear hug , she's like the mother I never had.

"I will see you later ,bye ,I kissed her cheek and scurried out .

Dad was waiting in his new white BMW sports car.I got in and apologized for being late. He shrugged and told me I looked nice in my dress.

"All thanks to you dad ," I said and heard him chuckle before roaring the engine back to life .

My new college was an hour drive ,so dad and I discussed all through .

"What do you mean dad ?" I asked when I heard him say "it's your first day in college ,make an impression .

"Come on dear ,you know what I mean ,be at your best behavior and make more friends he said and I sigh,that was the exact same thing he said on my first day in highschool.

"Dad that's old fashioned,I am already popular, people know me there's no need to make an impression or whatever ,if they wanna be my friend then they can just walk up to me ,it's how the cool kids roll ,I tell him and he stares at me with an amused brow.

"Goodness , your generation is a handful. Back in my days ,on my first day of school I had to make an impression to find good friends. He started to lecture, making me roll my eyes.

"But dad you said you weren't rich and popular so maybe making an impression was what helped you ,as for me I don't think I need to do that and besides I already have great friends ,I don't need more ,I tell him with a hint of finality in my tone.

"If you say so ,he replies and pulls up at the gate of the huge building ,my jaw dropped at how magnificent the building looks ,I didn't notice it took half the street .

BRIGHT FUTURE COLLEGE ,was clearly written in bold letters on a huge sign board.

"Wow , Desmond built this ? I questioned and dad nodded his head , unlocking the car .

BFC ,is one of the most prestigious and elaborate colleges in America and it's owned by Desmond , apparently Desmond's family ,but he took it to the next level.

"Desmond will pick you up later ,I won't be available ,oh and dear make an impression and get new friends okay,he leans in and pecks my forehead before waving at me as I alight.

"Bye dad,I waved back and watched him drive off .

Sighing ,I walked past the gate after politely greeting the security man ,he cheerfully replied back .

I search around for Jenny and Jessy, they had informed me the other day ,that we should meet at the hallway but it was going to be harder than I thought , students were scampering everywhere , dressed in expensive designer clothes and holding expensive bags ,somewhere talking in groups , others walking in and out of the huge building that stood majestically before me ,the blue paint which is my favorite color used to beautify it made it look outstanding ,there were other huge buildings , packing loots filled with expensive cars ,a nicely trimmed garden and a water fountain next to the agricultural building ,this place looked like heaven ,my definition of heaven.

"Regina !! I heard someone yelling my name and I turned to see Jenny and Jessy running towards me.I felt relief seeing them ,now I know I am not alone.

"Hey guys ,been searching for you girls ,I said immediately they got to where I was .

"Sorry about that , mom insisted on dropping us today and you know her , Jenny said and I nodded.

Who doesn't know Mrs Simpson ,the slowest and careful driver in New York .

"Woah ,we look like triplets ," Jessy exclaimed while checking us out ,she was right ,we wore skirts and tank tops.

"Shall we ,"I said and they nodded ,we walked into the building and people in the hallway began to stare at us ,I mean who wouldn't , Jessica was looking as sexy and bitchy as ever ,she wore a skimpy short black leather skirt ,a red tank top, leather jacket and a black boot, and her hair was now completely dyed red ,she looked like someone who was going to kick some asses , combined with her dark make up ,she looked more like a mafia woman .

And Jennifer was looking breathtaking and really cute ,she wore a red tank top , white short skirt ,a pair of white Dior sneakers and jean jacket ,her hair was in a tight bun and instead of her usual glasses ,she wore a primed diamond glass which is for sure recommend because of her poor eyesight, designed by her mom .

We walked majestically , heading straight to the principal's office to get our maps and timetables , finding it wasn't hard because dad had narrated how I would get there .

Jennifer knocked on the mahogany door , standing tall and strong , shielding the office from our sight .

"Come in ," a strong husky voice answered,we walked in simultaneously and the white bearded old looking man stared at us with familiarity before his lips broke into a smile .

"Good morning sir ,we chorused a greeting to the old man whose name appears to be , Mr Nicklaus on his desk.

"I have been expecting you all , please a minute ,he did a few search on his desk and then brought out three papers , and handed it to us .

"That's your map around the school ,all you need is in there ,as for the class time table ,I have added you three into the school's group chat ," he tells us .

Immediately my phone beeps and so did Jenny and Jessy ,we saw the notification and I nodded in confirmation seeing what had been sent.

"Thank you sir ," I said and he nodded. The girls and I walked out of his office , heading to our first class. We had different classes because our courses were different.

Jenny is a smartie pants, she's also a science freak, and hopes to be a doctor in the future,and Jessy might seem careless but she's one of the best student in her field of Art and craft ,she hopes to become a fashion designer and model of course , and me I am a straight A's student in my field of commerce,studying business administration ,I am actually preparing myself for taking over my father's companies in the future.

We got to the class and it was almost filled up ,only the back space had empty seats , and I really hated back spaces , it's filled with dirt and unseriousness ,I couldn't bring myself to sit there ,so Jessy did what she's good at ,which is scaring people.

"Hey you , bounce ,she yelled releasing off her dangerous aura ,the three ladies at the front roll scurried off without a second thought .

"These seats are empty ," she says innocently, like she didn't just scare off three girls .

Everyone was staring at us ,some girls glaring at us while some stared at us with fear ,the guys were admiring us but I didn't have time for that ,my sense of reasoning with other guys had been taken away by Desmond .

We settled in and minutes later class began.
