ALICIA'S POV
I woke up and looked at my mini clock, it's past 6, I need to start preparing for school, it's the resumption of another school year and I thank God I got a scholarship at least I can finish this last semester and get a job and continue with silver's tuition fee
"Good morning ALi" I heard silver's tiny voice as I turned and looked at her
"hey silver, you are up, ok come on you need to prepare for school go to the bathroom immediately I will look for something for you to eat before leaving, come on be smart" I Said poking her noise as she smiled. I ran outside with the little money I have to buy some bread for her I can manage with the hunger till I get back but she can't, she is just a child 8 year old only
"ah ah you can't run away from me any longer young lady" I heard the landlady said as I turned my back to run away but she caught me
"ma'am please am gonna get paid today and I promise to pay you immediately I get back" I told her as she chuckled
"you say that all the time Alicia" she said as I sight
"I promise ma'am today is the last day I promise I will give you your money" I Said as she walked pass me without saying anything I just hope she doesn't do anything funny
I walked to school after I dropped silver in her own school it's not far away from our mini house, I walked hurrily to my own school as it is far away from my house, the weather was changing color so it looks like it's gonna poor
I finally reached the school and immediately I entered a mini block beside my class it started pouring heavily, oh wow looks like luck is on my side as I turned my back to leave two rolls royce dropped just 5 meters from me, I stood as I admire the cars they are so beautiful
A man in suit came out from the car with an umbrella, rushed and opened the car door as a beautiful, curvy girl came out wearing the same school uniform as mine but hers was looking well ironed and classic and the umbrella was put above her head wow rich kids. while the guard stood under the rain instead, I looked at them and chuckled at what I saw, just as I was about to see who will step out of the other car,
A teacher stood in front of me, I knew it was a teacher by the way she dressed with a cane in her hand
"move it young lady" she said as I bowed
"Am so sorry ma'am am leaving" I said moving away and I heard her Said something like " what a respectful kid". But I ignored anyway I don't know why she said that
Author's pov
"Xander....... My sister made to speak but I cut her off
" what's your problem Alexandra huh what is it?, can't you see it's raining "
I asked in anger because she had been bothering me right from home
" Xander don't let your situation drift you away from people, you can still be in this very class it's no big deal " she said as I sigh
" who told you it's because of this illness I don't want to sit in that class with you huh? I have told you I don't want to associate with this wretched people, if not for your dad you think I would be here and decides my VIP is much cooler and better than this place OK so fuck off
He said walking away putting his hands behind his back as his guards follow him with an umbrella
"Xander but.....
" fuck off bitch " he said as his sister sigh
" what a psychopath"
"hey Sandra" I heard as I turned and saw his 3 friends
"kelvin it's xandra OK xandra not Sandra, how many times do I correct you" Alexandra said to Kelvin, the funny one amongst all of them
"you look hot today Alex" Kelly said licking his lower lip
"yeah here comes the flirty guy" Alexandra said rolling her eyes
"hi Alex" Karl greeted
"yeah and the quiet and saddist one" she rolled her eyes again leaving
"I don't even have time for you people now I have a class to attend" she said walking away
****************
Alicia went to class as all eyes were on her immediately she entered especially the boys, she could hear some girls praising her beauty while some were just sighing, she is used to it though, she walked at the end of the class as that's it's where she could find an empty seat with a boy beside her
"hi good morning" she greeted the boy who wore lenses
"yeah hi, are you a newbie?" he asked
"oh yeah I am, am Alicia Jones nice meeting you" she sent her hand forward as the guy took it happily greeting her back
"I am Steve........ Ohhhh sorry I mean I am siress Steve and nice meeting you too" he said, hmm he acts like a nerd she spoke inwardly
"OK nice meeting you siress" what a name though she taught
Just as she was done greeting the guy, Alexandra walked in as the guys started drooling over her too even her long brown hair makes a difference
"this girl can be stinking rich, I saw the car she came out from" Alicia spoke silently but her bench mate heard her
"you don't know her??" siress asked her as she shook her head negatively
"hmmm that's Alexander Bradley twin sister, her name is Alexandra" he spoke and Alicia looked at her doubtfully
"uhhhm who is Alexander Bradley?" she asked and siress was surprised
"you don't know one of the richest billionaire in this country? You don't know the most coldest mafia lord?? Everybody is scared of him" he said and Alicia laughed
"scared of him, why are people scared of him??" she asked and siress was surprised
"this guy walks around with a gun, you can never know if you don't know him too well, he started schooling here this year and he has a VIP Class meaning there is a special block for him and his three friends just the three of them according to rumors I have heard he is allergic to people that's why he doesn't wanna associate, he is so arrogant, trust me benchi he is a murderer, anywhere he is people tremble he is so cold " he concluded and took a bottle of water and drank
ALICIA gulped at nothing when she heard the scary things about the guy, she turnes and looked at his beautiful sister at the first bench smiling and chatting with her friends, is his sister like that too?? She asked herself
"no his sister isn't like that, his sister is so cool and nice to everyone but he is a devil and he is so dead gorgeous" siress replied and Alicia doubted If she was that Loud
"that's why I hate rich men they claim they own the world and I pray I never cross paths with him till I leave this school " she said to herself and shook her head just as a teacher walked in and everybody stood up to greet
Alexander's pov
"hey dude" the boys entered and greeted as we all did our normal handshake and I went to the sink to wash my hands
"dude you will never change, even if you never had this allergic illness to people you still would have been doing this your washing hands stuff" Karl said and I sigh
"dude you are looking all moody what's up" Kelly asked but I still remain silent
"xandra doesn't just understand how it feels for me to be here, she thinks am avoiding people because of my illness but she doesn't know that I don't just want to be here at all, I hate associating with this low life people" I said and kelvin stood up and came close to me
"man listen to me it's all gonna be over soon, it's just this year right and that's it just do what your father wants which is to have this certificate and that's it we are gone and decides we have our own building here in this campus so it's no big deal, none of those low life's will cross our paths ". For the first time in kelvin's life he has said something meaningful
" but am sorry my b*tches will definitely come over, because I always need to f*ck " he continued and I sigh, this guy and f*ck ohhh goodness
" bring in your b*tches or your wh*res or whatever I don't give a f*ck I just don't want to see them in this hall, you take them to the other hole and that's it" I concluded
"yes boss that's for sure" he stood erect with his hand on his forehead. I walked away from them and sat down with my phone while they continued chit-chating
"if I see that teacher that is supposed to teach us now he is definitely kneeling down for keeping us waiting this early morning" Karl said in annoyance
They are all mad boys, i remembered when I first met them in a casino putting pounds and dollars on the table for a game but they couldn't win, while I came in and decided to help and finally took all of the money that they had loose back to them from there we became friends, I later came to discover that they weren't bad at all
I looked at them and smiled inwardly as kelvin was busy watching p*rn, this one would never change
ALICIA'S POV
"Alicia please help me out a little" siress called me as I looked at him as he showed me a book
"didn't get what the biology teacher was saying so can you please help me out" he said again
"OK come close let me explain" I took the book as he drew nearer just as I was about explaining, someone suddenly closed the book
"hey newbie" I took my head up and saw a light skin girl, very skinny but her ascent was nice, her short brown hair was held in a ponytail, she is quite beautiful
" I saw the way you just kept answering questions here and there just because you wanted all the gratitude and praise right, well let me tell you something this school is mine, if you think you are intelligent more than me then you are wasting your time newbie because I beat you to it " she said staring at me as if she was waiting for me to say something
" Anita return to your seat immediately "I heard someone say and I turned to the direction and saw the beautiful rich girl, am sure that her name is Alexandra
" no Alex I want to tell this low life insurance, scholarship giver that she is just a pest because her beauty is nothing " she said and I sigh inwardly if only she knows that she is wasting her time here blabbering rubbish because I won't say a thing
"Anita I said return immediately" the Alexandra girl said again and the Anita looked at me with disgust and left. What a wonderful talkative
"who is she??" I asked siress and he smiled. I wonder why he smiles all the time he really acts like a nerd
"she is Anita Suarez, daughter of the senator, she is very intelligent, she is always takes the first position in the whole school, she has her members there with her and Alexandra is one of them and from rumors I have heard she is only friends with Alexandra because she is in love with her brother and their money ". Siress explained and I shook my head
" they are all rich kids so they don't have a problem with their lives " I said and opened the book to continue teaching him
" I have noticed you don't talk too much Alicia " Siress said and I smiled
" Am just like that dear and yes I haven't seen any of your friends why?? " I asked and he suddenly became sad
" I don't have friends Alicia, you are the first friend I have had since last year I started coming to this school " he said and I was surprised
" hmmm but why? " I asked and he sigh
" everyone says am a nerd that I act insane and I don't know why" he said and I felt bad for him
"that's sad, come on don't be moody OK you are not a nerd and from today you are my best friend" I said and he hugged me happily
"ohhh ohh am so sorry let me clean up your uniform" he said and made to clean but I stopped him
"hey its fine ok and decides we are best friends right" I said and he nodded happily
*************
The hectic day at school was over, I walked faster to the restaurant in order not to get late, I saw the rich girl again as a range rover drove her out of the school, wow that means this girl has a place in this country just look at the car she came and went back with. Anyway I pray to be like her someday and I pray God helps me
I walked faster and faster to my work place, a limousine passed by and flashed muddy water on my body
"oh my how can people be this cruel?" I asked no one in particular as I continued my journey I even walked passed the limo as it pulled over, I didn't even care to know who it was or why the car stopped I just continued my journey faster, I can't be late or I won't get paid today and I won't have any money to pay for the rent
"Good afternoon ma'am" I greeted the manager of the restaurant and she didn't reply as usual, she is always cruel, I walked directly into the kitchen and changed into my work uniform and started taking orders
"Alicia you just came back from school?" miss Chan the head chef asked. She is normally a Chinese, her ascent tells it all, she is very kind to me here in this restaurant more than the other workers
"yes miss Chan, I couldn't miss this opportunity today I have to pay for my rent" I told her and she touched my Hair
"you will definitely get paid today OK" she said smiling and I nodded
"now come on serve that customer" she said giving me a plate of hamburger and cheese sauce to serve as I left
************
EVENING
We all lined up in the managers office waiting to receive our salaries, the workers were paid one by one till it reach my turn, I sent my hands forward to collect my payment only for me to be shocked
"hey move aside" the manager said and I was surprised
"ma'am you gave me just 20,000 dollars" I said confused
"so how much were you expecting??" she asked chewing her gum like a prostitute
"ma'am am sorry but you made a mistake it was supposed to be 40.000 dollars not 20" I said and she laughed
"so last week you came late you didn't notice and today you came late again still didn't notice huh?" she asked smirking
"ma'am I told you last week that I took my sister to the hospital because of her asthma problem and I taught you understood me and today it's because of the school that I arrived here late, you have to understand ma'am am a student" I said but she pushed me aside and I fell but was caught by miss Chen, I turned to look at her as she continued sharing the money to the rest of the workers
"ma'am please try to understand me, I........." I made to plead but she called the security to throw me out
"come late again and expect to receive full payment you b*tch" she said moving inside, I stood up, clean my uniform and started working home
"Alicia wait up" I heard and turned to see miss Chan running towards me
"miss Chan you are not too young again OK so please stop running" I told her and ran towards her instead
"here dear take this ten thousand dollars and add it to yours OK, pay your rent and this 5000 dollars look for something so that you and Silver can eat this evening and tommorow morning before going to school OK" she said stretching fifteen thousand dollars to me
"no miss Chan thank you, you have done a lot for me already this is your personal salary you worked hard for this so please keep it and send your little grandchild to school with it" I told her covering the money in her hands but she insisted
"my grandchild goes to school remember, his mother in France takes care of his fees and his belongings remember" she said opening my palms and putting the money, I hugged her tightly as I didn't know what else to say to her
"thank you so much for everything miss Chan I really appreciate it thank you so much" I said crying and she cleaned my tears with her palms
"hey stop crying OK you are my strong little Alicia remember" she said and I smiled and hugged again while she bid me goodbye and left
I turned to my direction and took on my heels, my sister must be very hungry, I stopped at the eatery shop and bought some bread and hotdog and some little juice for Silver as I hurried home with it
"princess silver am home" I shouted as she rushed out of the kitchen to hug me
"you took so long to get home" she said staring at me
"yeah I know that kiddo and am sorry ok but guess what I bought" I said putting the nylon up as she smelled it
"hmmmm hot dog" she said licking her lips as I gave her the nylon and she opened it and started eating as I stare at her and smiled
I wish I could give you more than this Silver, how I wish I could make you feel happy like other kids out there
"sis won't you eat?? Have some" she said pointing at the plastic
"no silver am OK, I have already eaten"i told her and she smiled
" you don't eat much sis but you still get beautiful and curvy every day "she said and I laughed, what a funny woman
I wouldn't pray for mom to still be here with us because she suffered a lot before going up there, she died while giving birth to silver, I just hope wherever the monster I call my father is he should never have peace
Silver ate and fell asleep on the one couch that we had, I woke up and carried her to the bed and took my bath, did my prayers and went to bed.
Alexander's pov
I entered the house as the guards bowed greeting me while I ignored them
"school closed at 2pm and now you are coming back at 8pm what does it mean?" I heard a voice and I knew it was my step mom
" Lydia please don't add to my headaches am begging you" I said walk passing her
"what do you think your dad will do or feel when he learns that you are coming back from school just now" she said and I paused
"hey woman listen to me I don't give a f*ck how the old man will feel OK, nobody ever thinks of how I feel, what about my own happiness, what about my own things I want to do, nobody ever seems to care, now listen to me I will advise you stay away from me and you quite well I don't like you one bit so stop interfering in my matters " I said as I ran upstairs and saw xandra
" say your own so I can go to bed " I told her and she sigh
" Alex you know aunt Lydia care and loves us so please stop rubbing it to her face that you don't like her it only hurts her " she said slowly
" do I look like I care, and yes if you see your father this evening tell him am leaving tomorrow, I have my own house you guys should stop making me become like you people I hate it " I said and walked passed her to
F*ck I just hate every one around this place, they ache me a lot, I wish my mom was still alive, she was the only one who understood me and took me for who I am. And that Lydia of a woman, I hate her so much I don't know why but I have this feeling she is not who she claims to be. And dad he thinks he can stop me from doing my business, then he is joking because if he tries anything funny I won't think twice before killing him or rendering him useless with his forsaken wife
"Dude??" my phone automatically speaks jotting me out of my taughts. I made my phone in such a way that it answers my calls automatically
"yeah Kelly" I replied
"taught you were asleep already" he said
"no not yet helping myself out with some little sniff" I said as I inhaled the cocain on my table
"oh OK ok, so you are leaving tomorrow, after school or before school" he asked
"you are talking as if am going out of the country, am leaving to my own house and I don't know the exact time tommorow" I replied
"oh alright alright, the biology teacher is still in the dungeon, should he be free by now??" he asked because we actually punished the biology teacher today morning by locking him up in my dungeon because he came late which means he kept us waiting
"well it's up to you guys, I don't know if you want him to spend the night there" I said and he chuckled
"we will free him tomorrow morning and tell him to teach before he goes home" he said and I smiled
"you guys are evil" I said sniffing more of my cocain as I felt so good
"at least not more than you, ok dude gotta go to sleep decides I need to buy some packets of c*ndoms tommorow because I will be starting with the history madam first" he continued and I chuckled
"so you f*ck even teachers huh?" I asked and I heard him laugh slightly
"why not they are the best, I just need a little doggy from her that's it" he replied
"hmmm ok happy f*cking" I said and he laughed
"sure thing man, good night" he said and I didn't reply as the phone went off immediately
"siri call Karl" I said to my phone as it began ringing immediately he picked up later
"yeah Alex" he said
"yeah karl what happened?" I asked
"no everything is cool dude the last truck arrived this evening and Mr Parker paid his balance after the torture" he said and I smirk
"that's how things are done, they want to be shown a violent way before they succumb to others" I replied
" yeah that's it man"
"OK put the balance in the vault and you will share it amongst the men tommorow" I said and he answered with a yes
"so school tomorrow how is it gonna be?" I asked and he chuckled
"same as today I guess and we wouldn't mind putting anyone who messes up in his or her place right?" he said
"of course dude that's the spirit" I replied throwing away the plastic of the cocain in the Dustbin as I was done
"yeah about the girls we couldn't stop screaming your name, what are you gonna do about that?" he asked in a mockery way
"I will splash water on all of them just like how I did to one of them this afternoon" I replied and he laughed
"go to sleep p*rvert" I said putting off my phone and headed to the bathroom to take a bath
******************
NEXT morning
Alicia's pov
I was still asleep when I heard a loud noise on my door
"please don't break my door am coming" I said asking myself who it could be
"get your *ss and my money outside here young lady" immediately I heard the voice, I knew it was the landlady I checked my wall clock and it was 4:30 Am, what a woman
"yes ma'am here I am and this is your money" I said immediately I opened the door and stretched my hand over to her
"is it complete?" she asked pulling the money away from me
"yes ma'am that's exactly thirty thousand dollars" I said and she smiled counting it
"next time you stay with my money like this you will pack out" she said and I left as I breath fresh air , finally
"sis is it Time for school already?" Silver asked behind me
"no princess it's still 4:35 go back to sleep, I will wake you up at 6am OK" I said as she nodded pulling herself back to bed
I sat on the couch, picked up my school bag and removed my book to learn a little bit before I start looking for something for silver to eat before going to school,
"sis won't you eat?" silver asked eating the bread and butter I bought for her
"no dear I can manage OK" I said cleaning the floor of the house
"eat faster we would be late" I said and she smiled and I pray that smile never fades away till I die
************
I was walking faster to school because I was already late but am still a little far away from school so I had to hurry
I heard a car horn behind me as I stopped and shifted behind a little as a black limo passed beside me, wow its so beautiful, yesterday I saw a white one and today it's a black one
As the car passed, and I continued my journey
As I walked for about 5 minutes again, another horn came up and I stopped and shifted again and saw a black range rover, hmmm this kids in this school are really rich.
I stood and waited but the car didn't passed by instead it stopped and I saw the glass winding down only for me to see the rich kid who scolded me yesterday
"wow, not only is the scholarship earner a weirdo but also a trekee, hahaha, so disgusting" she said looking at me from head to toe and spat beside me then winded her glass back up and left
Hmmm seems like some people like looking for trouble anyhow, anyways am nothing compared to her so I better mind my ways, I don't want any problems, this life is already a great problem to me so I better avoid more problems
**************
"OK that's it for the chemistry of today, next week we have a little quiz so you prepare for it and much gratitude to miss..........." the madam said pointing at me
"it's Alicia Jones ma'am" I replied when I noticed that she has forgotten my name
"yes all gratitude to miss Jones for making this class an exciting one because of all the questions that she answered" she said as I heard a round of applause for me, Awwwwwnn
"miss Jones can you help me out over here" she said calling to me as I stood up from behind moving in front to meet her, just as I was about to reach in front of her my leg kicked something and I stumbled as I was about falling but the rich girl Alexandra held my two arms
I turned behind and looked at what made me to fall and discovered it was the arrogant girl Anita's leg and she did it on purpose because of the way she was staring at me
"Thank you so much am grateful and am so sorry" I said to the Alexandra girl and she smiled a little and immediately the smile faded, she didn't say anything but returned to her seat looks like she is just entering the class just now as I could hear people grumbling
"miss Jones are you OK" the teacher asked and I nodded
"OK take this text books right, go to the other block and drop it there" she said handling me some text books
"uhhhm sorry ma'am but I don't know the block you are talking about" I said and she smiled
"you don't know this huge beautiful building of the school over there" she said pointing at the building through the window
"ohhh yes ma'am I do know it now" I said and she nodded
"Good, now go there climb the third stairs, you will see a class with 4 students in it drop it there and return back to class Ok, I want to get something from the office tell them am coming" she said and I nodded, moving out of the class
AT THE VIP BUILDING
Alicia walked through the corridor as she started climbing the stairs, she climbed the first stairs already and got confused, she forgot the actual place the teacher was talking about, so she reached the second stairs and saw doors there so she moved to the first door and opened but there was no one, she reached the third door and started hearing funny sounds and screams, so she taught someone was in trouble and moved faster to the door where she heard the noise
"ahhhhhhh yes yes... Oh my God.. Yeah harder.. Faster baby ohhh my my" she heard a female voice say and decided to open the door and check
"what the f*ck who the hell are you?" Kelly asked pushing the teacher away immediately he saw Alicia
"oh.. My am... Am.. So..sorry.. I.. Didn't mean to.. I will leave... Immediately" she said closing the door as her heart pounded faster as she ran away
"oh my God what was that?? She asked recalling how she saw the woman naked and untop of the guy
" yuck what were they doing? " she asked no one in particular as she spat in disgust
She forgot about it and continued her search for the class and finally climbed the third stairs, she heard voices laughing and knew it was that class, she stood thinking if she should knock or what, so she opened the door and made to enter but hit someone immediately she opened the door
"what the f*ck" the guy she hit said as his phone fell off his hand
"oh my am.. So.. Sorry.. I didn't... I didn't.. See you coming" she said without even looking at the person's face she bent over to pick up the phone, keeping the books on the floor
"dude who is that??" the boys asked but Alex didn't say a word but stood there staring at her as she bend over
"oh no oh my God am so sorry.... It... It... Is....." she couldn't say a word as she took her head up and saw the creature standing in front of her
Alex stood akimbo without saying a word bit staring at her angrily but immediately she lifted her head he released his hands which was tight in a fist, Alicia stared at him in admiration, thinking how a guy can be this cute, his blue little eyes, pink lips, curly black hair and a good body shape structure, but. Later took her head of it and stood up with his phone
"Am really... Am so... So sorry.. But.. Hmmmm... But.. It's.. It's... Broken" she said covering her eyes and Alex was surprised as of how she doesn't know him unlike other girls would have screamed and later started shivering but she just stood there with her tiny mouth, beautiful brown eyes and killer curves and her cute little voice shivering because of a phone
"you are going to pay for this" Alex said and she almost cried
"Am.... Really..... Really sorry it was a mistake. Ple... Please forgive me" she said almost at the edge of crying
"who are you by the way?" Karl asked silently as she bit her lower lip as Alex felt his d*ck twitch as she did that
"my... My.... Name is...."
"I didn't ask for your name you low life, I said who the fuck are you and what are you even doing here?" Karl furthered angrily
"Am a student... Of...of.. This school.. I was sent... By the.. Chemistry teacher to drop.. This books here" she said clinging her hands together in fear
Alex still stood at that position without shaking staring at her kinly from head to toe, she is very beautiful no doubt about it but Alex wants her to shiver again in front of him and bit those beautiful lips again
"sir.. Am.. Really sorry.. About your phone... I.. Didn't... Mean to do it... Am so sorry" she said
"bring in the books" Kelvin said smiling at her as to how beautiful she was
"thank you sir" she said moving faster into the classroom, she admired the hall a little bit because it was beautiful and cold it has an Ac in it
"get the hell out" Karl said as she shivered and started moving out
"pick up my phone" Alex said to her as she said sorry and picked it up
"give it to me" he said stretching his hand and Alicia gave him the phone in a twinkle of an eye, he held Alicia's hand and cut it with a sharp blade and she screamed pulling her hand away as she looked at him in schock but he had this cold expression on his face that like that of a devil
"he is cute but he is arrogant and cold and he is a devil" she remembered siress words and wanted to run away but Alex held her again
"no.... No... Please.. Let... Me. Go... Am.. Am.. So.. Sorry" she said crying as Alex streched the phone back over to her
"take it along with you" he said coldly as Alicia sent her hand and collected the phone and Alex cut her hand again and threw off the blade, she screamed and took on her heels immediately without wasting any time again as she cried bitterly on her way
