"Back off bitch!" Charlotte cussed using her leg to push the lady tummy. She grab her best friend hand. "What the fuck have she done so far to you? " She asked fiercely, ready to beat anyone who has hurts her best friend, Kyla so far.
The students began multiplying as they gathered in the school compound to watch more of what is about happening, they gathered forming circle, making the about to fight girls stay in the middle.
"Bitch " Natasha spat out glaring deadly at Charlotte
"Let's just go." Kyla mutters, her head bowed, Charlotte still holding her hand.
She doesn't want more of Natasha's hatred towards her.
"Not until I teach this piece, a lesson she never forgets. " Charlotte say determined, clenching her fists, ready to fight with Natasha.
The students started chanting Charlotte's name.
They know Charlotte to be this kick off kid, who go rogue at anyone who rebelled against her or any of her loved ones.
Kyla been Charlotte best friend since childhood, is the type who goes around with glasses acting cool and innocent.
Natasha's hatred towards Kyla was a no reason one. She bully's and dissed Kyla whenever she got the chance, not until Charlotte starts attending the school of her best friend and Natasha bullying reduced.
Charlotte, knowing fully well that her friend, Kyla was a gentle type who does not stands for herself, became determined to beat up Natasha anytime she find her embarrassing her best friend.
Today, was a not too good day. Kyla had gone to school without her best friend. She had thought Charlotte isn't going to come, so she prepared for the worst coming from Natasha.
Getting to class a little bit early, has become more of her whenever Charlotte don't seem to be coming for school that day.
Kyla had entered the class, ready for Natasha's harsh treatment.
She adjusted her glass seeing that Natasha was yet to come.
She sat in her normal seat till the day's work begin. She puts up with the usual treatment Natasha and her colleague, Giselle with Nikki put her up with.
The day had closed, Kyla was sets to leave for home when Natasha and her colleague Come bad mouthing her.
Kyla bowed watching them throw piece at her.
Giselle drag her backpack from her as she run out of the class with Kyla pursuing her.
They had stop in the compound to make everyone witness what they are about to do to Kyla when Charlotte come, running and kicking Natasha's tummy.
"Wanna die today. Then come on." Charlotte say asking Natasha and her colleague for open fight.
She had hated Natasha also, since the very first time she discovered that Natasha was into her crush.
Natasha stood, not ready to retaliate. She knows this girl standing do readily for fight would really beat her up to a pulp.
Charlotte been a brown bulb haired black girl, has been into boxing since her elementary school, which gives her the man body and shape.
Her deep brown eyeballs and short stature. She is pretty all the same.
"I'm gonna sets your ass up straight soon." Natasha say ready to walk away with her colleagues, who always follow her.
They were the bitchy rich spoilt kids of the school, they bully anyone who looks unpleasing to them.
Natasha stood on her track with the loud outbursts of laughter coming from Charlotte
"Oh, really." Charlotte say within laughter.
Soon, the students joined in laughing with her. Giggling and laughing, They knew already that Natasha wasn't ready to get beaten up. And for that, they all started chorusing ' weakling '
"Let's just teach her some lessons." Nikki, the blabber mouth of the lady gang say
""Why don't you." Giselle retorted, whispering.
" sure then, in surely gonna wait for your dummy assy reply. " Charlotte scorn as she hold Kyla's hand tight, walking away.
She shoulder hit Nikki. "Hit off." She cuss at Nikki who stood quietly, not saying a thing, cause of the fear of getting beaten up.
The students began singing Charlotte praises, while others sang Natasha's downfall.
Natasha walk away, mad about her embarrassment. She surely gonna gets back at Charlotte, either by fists or any means
.
Kyla jolts away "Why did you do that." She demands fir answer, heads up.
" I see, you are only strict around me." Charlotte snarl and Kyla scoff .
" You know we don't need this. We are done already with high schooling, our high school days is almost over, whereby everyone graduate and forget about everything. Let's also graduate with no enemy. " Kyla stated
" Says the one who never stands up for herself. " Charlotte scorn hissing.
" You never listens. " Kyla say as she smack Charlotte head.
" Ouch, don't be so cruel." Charlotte say eyeing and Kyla smirk folding her arms under her breast.
"But real--"
"You want me to tolerate Natasha's and chipmunks bullying you" Charlotte ask sarcastically
" Hey. Not that"
" Then what? " Charlotte fired
" She is not bull---"
" She is. You can't have someone like me and still feel scared of going to school. And that absolutely shits. I'm surely gonna see to it, that I beat Tasha to an extent of getting jailed. " Charlotte say determined.
" And you think I'm gonna bail you out" Kyla rhetorically ask
Charlotte is an orphan, who lives with her Uncle, Uncle Bob who is an adulterer, well. He hasn't disappoint in her upbringing. He only care less whenever she gets into trouble. So Kyla is always the one bailing and apologizing for her mistakes.
"If you don't, I'm gonna have a good time in jail. " Charlotte say as they stop in the bus station.
"You naughty girl." Kyla say again as she hit her forehead.
" Ouch .. " Charlotte groan.
The bus halt as they walk to its, hopping in. Tget went to sit at the back.
"I thought you weren't coming.." Kyla say as the bus start driving after some passengers hop in.
"Yeah, I arrived late, and had to write some bits. that why I didn't check on you all day. "
.
It's evening already
" Bye... " Kyla bade her hands in farewell.
She just drop at the bus stop, Charlotte was still in, her house is far from the school.
The passengers waiting in the bus stop hop in the bus as the driver start driving.
Kyla smile after watching the driver away with Charlotte and some passengers inside.
She carried her backpack to her back as she starts her walk to home.
She walk to the street, greeting any familiar or known persons.
She look weirdly at the cars that drive out of the compound.
It's wasn't two, but three cars.
She stare at the car till it drove pass her, she saw a woman.
She didn't see the woman clearly, but they both share a glance.
Her looks and the little she saw in the woman, showed how richer she must be.
Kyla walk to the compound the car drive out from.
She entered into the compound, she drop her backpack to the floor and she went ahead in closing the gates.
After closing it, she grab her backpack and walk to the house.
Her house seems a little quieter and made her think weirdly.
The strange cars, powerful woman look and this quite house that always seem noisy.
She hurried in many thought flourishing her.
She opened the door.
She breathed in, but what just happened?
"Hey" She called as she hug her brother Morris, whom hug her back sadly.
"What happen?" She ask lowly.
Her mum was sited, beside her dad whose heads was bowed. She could tell the sadness they were all feeling.
"Is everything alright?" She ask no one in particular as she drop her backpack to the sofa.
She walk to sit beside her dad.
"Nothing is alright." Her dad say
"What do you mean." Kyla ask as her dad glance at her. She could see regret, pain, all written invisibly in his face.
"I know, I know I'm meant to be a good dad, I should take all burden and make you my kids, happy. But I am failing" Her dad, Mr Jagan, began. His voice shaky as if he was about crying, making Kyla emotional.
"Dad what's it!" Kyla half yell, worried already. She has never seen her dad feeling so dejected and meltdown like this before. She was beginning to feel curious of what's happening
Her dad placed his palm on her hand, as he stare at her so deeply.
"You saw the woman." Mr Jagan rhetorically ask.
Kyla look confused at first, before recollecting that it could be the strange woman she saw, The woman whom was escorted by cars.
She wonders why a powerful person would come into her house and make her family wistful and heartbroken.
She glance at her elder brother who have an unpredictable look.
"Yes I saw her." She decided to talk.
Her dad cleared his throat.
" I owe her. " He expounded and Kyla look awkward.
"Owe... How?" Kyla ask full with curiosity.
"He is owing the woman money! A tight debts." Her mum, Mrs Jagan tell and Kyla look aghast!
Her dad is a politician, and a successful one at that. She lacked nothing from her dad, or even her family in whole.
So why would he go into a debts! They are rich enough to fend for themselves. And a reputable family, so why the tight debts.?
"Dad." Kyla called. " Is it true? why?" she ask, not believing what her mum said.
She looks astonished, her dad's silent, only means one thing. That it's true.
"Why did you go into having a tight debts, with someone's who is not a bank! " She nagged rushing her words.
She hate it. Seeing her family so downcast, and in troubles.
"Dad." She called, her dad head went bow.
"Okay. " She sniff, not ready to cry." How much are we talking about?" She ask inquisitively as if she can solve the situation.
" It's a big debts." Her dad mutters, guilty. "An--"
" Five hundred millions pounds. " Morris, her brother interrupts.
" What the Fu--" Kyla gasp, in surprise. "But how;" She exclaimed, beginning to feel that it's was real. And what happening with her family now is not a joke.
"Dad... How!?" She questions unbelievable of her dad's action.
Tight debts! And the thoughts of her dad seeming to feel like he can't do nothing is really making her feel threatened and teary.
"Okay, what to do" She rhetorically asks.
"It's due time already, and Mrs Wallow, is threatening on making life unbearable for us. " Morris tell and Kyla imagines the Mrs Wallow to be the woman.
"She gives us two days." Morris say and laugh inwardly, like he is about to feel fed up and wished to just run away.
He is Twenty five years old, and he has a petty business of running furnitures. He stopped his college school days, cause he thoughts he is too old for school already. So, he went into this business. Making some small sales and supporting the needs of the family. Kyla considers him a good brother.
Her dad, was only concerned about his politics. He traded his life to winning the election, but he failed. And that failure is bringing him this debt.
"What's to do." She ask for the hundredth time, so worried.
She sigh. "Okay, let's discuss this later." Kyla say with a small smile as she take her backpack and walk to her room.
Her family is looking so moody, and it's making her freak out. Like she don't know what to do, or wished to know what to do but don't know...
She walks to her room, as she lock the door behind.
She bite her inner cheek as she try to calm herself.
Okay, now. Only Charlotte can help! She thought as she walk to her study table.
She took the phone on the table. As she unlock it and dialed Charlotte number.
If she thinks too much about, she don't know what to do.
Within the second weeks, She pick up.
"Hey" Charlotte say, munching could be heard from the other end of the call.
"Your back right" Kyla say
"Yes. And eating, you've eaten dinner too yet? " Charlotte ask
" With the situation now, I can't. " She say
" Hey! You okay. " Charlotte ask. "What happened, okay. You know what. Do not ponder too much about whatever is going on. Have a good shower and sleep tight... I will be meeting you tomorrow " She say rushing her words
Kyla smile, Charlotte was always helping, which made her love her the more as a best friend.
"Okay then. Thanks." She say
"Do remember my words okay. I will be in your house, first thing tomorrow. " She assured and Kyla hume.
.
" What! " Charlotte exclaimed surprised
"Five hundred and.... Wait, Millions, and pounds? " Charlotte ask widening her eyes.
" Don't be sarcastic. " Kyla smirk as she stands up to lock her bed room door.
It's weekend Morning already, and Kyla woke up still bothering about her family new big problem.
She isolated herself from the past night, feeling weird about how quite her home has become. She could remember how lousy her home used to be every weekend morning, but today. It's seems like someone had die.
The food no longer seem eatable, the atmosphere of the house ls far way quieter than a graveyard.
She knows the so called Mrs Wallow must have been a big bone in the throat.
Earlier that morning, before Charlotte arrived. Kyla had searched on internet about who the Mrs Wallow might be. And to her greatest surprise, she is the one her family shouldn't have gotten into.
"I will be stopping school soon." Kyla say
"sorry" Charlotte said as if she did not hear right." You aren't the one in debts." She reminds
" But my dad is. I have to reduce the burden of my schooling to at least help in dealing with the so called burden. " Kyla stated lowly.
" Oh dear. " Charlotte sigh as she hug Kyla.
"Seems like I have an idea." Charlotte blurted and Kyla raised her brows at her
" What's it? " she asked curious
Charlotte bite her lower lip. "I think it's kinda a stupid idea." Charlotte smirk
"C'mon... You know I really do need an idea, any advice. You don't know how much this is affecting my family. " Kyla pleads as she walk to Charlotte.
" You know this Mrs Wallow, she is. Oh gosh, you know she is the one ruling almost all the influential ones in London. And her net worth is what no one knows. " Charlotte explained and Kyla gave a weak smirking.
" Okay, i was thinking. You should just go to Mrs Wallow Mansion. "
" And do what exactly? " Kyla fired
" Chill bae. " Charlotte coax as she continues.." Maybe, puts a deal with her but her accepting you as housemaid for some years, "
" And you think that gonna work! " Kyla ask scornfully." You wanna make me go through hell? " She rhetorically ask and Charlotte smacks her.
"I'm trying to help here." Charlotte say
"Am sorry. But that woman." Kyla pause. "Ate you certain of your idea? " She asked and Charlotte nod confidently.
" It's takes a brave person to face the brave." Charlotte say and Kyla sigh
" Gonna help with that right? " Kyla ask Charlotte who nods.
"Sure, we will go knock on the lioness door." Charlotte say " And do not act so creaky calmly child over there. Be at your best. " She advised
" I'm gonna try my possible best on that." Kyla assures
" Okay then. Let me somehow find out where Mrs Wallow Mansion is. " Charlotte say and Kyla smile pouting a thank you.
Her friend is really been of good help.
"Hey..." Kyla called as she drag Charlotte back.
"What's wrong with you." Charlotte sneer.
They just alighted from a cab, and after Charlotte paying the cabman. They stood mesmerizing about the huge Mansion, standing at their front.
After a long look and all, they decided to enter, before Kyla drag Charlotte back.
"Okay, I think I can't do this." Kyla say breathing fast.
"Hey. What's wrong with you. She's not gonna bite us.Take a chill pill. " Charlotte say, frustrated already how about how Kyla is beginning to behave.
" Don't you have another idea." Kyla ask,
"Oh, yeah. I have, and that idea is to, go in there and clear all debts. " Charlotte say, confidently.
Kyla sigh.
Okay, she has to do this for her family.
"C'mon." Kyla say as Charlotte walk to the gate.
"Ready?" Charlotte asked and Kyla nod, feigning a brave look.
Charlotte pressed the gate bell switch multiple times, before Kyla stop her.
"What do you want " The voice ask.
They look around to see a CCTV camera mainly fix on them. The voice was coming from nowhere they could predict.
"We want to see Mrs Wallow." Charlotte replied, shouting.
"Yes, Mrs Wallow." Kyla repeated, lowly.
"Why?" The voice asked again.
"We wanna--" Charlotte was interrupted as the gate opens itself.
Two guards came walking to them.
They were dressed in suits, and an expensive one at that.
"Follow me." The first guard, whom was at the right side instructed.
Kyla glance at Charlotte, who nods at her.
They walk to the compound, without gazing around too much.
It was really a beautiful simple wide compound.
Kyla was beginning to feel scared and regretful of following her best friend idea, Charlotte look less burden, she kept on gazing and not missing a glance of the compound.
They were escorted to a small parlour, simply decorated like garden, with soft sofas and small table.
"You will be attended to, soon." The first guard tell and Charlotte nods as he walk out, leaving the other in the parlour, standing securely, hands folded to the back and heads up.
"Hey." Kyla called scared already.
"You don't have to worry, we can't get kidnapped or get outsmarted. " Charlotte whisper tell.
" But still, " Kyla was saying
"Just practice what to say, the emotion state, business-like mood." Charlotte interrupt." Don't forget to introduce yourself clearly." She added
Kyla nod
She gotta brace up, she gave a loud sighing.
The door to the parlour opened. As Kyla and Charlotte got on their feet.
The rays of the sunlights that penetrated into the parlour welcomed the aura of the guy that just step in.
He was escorted with big armed guard. Whom held a gun and dressed in black, with glasses on.
The guy was putting on a long fitted blue trousers. And a blue suits, with a white shirts, worn underneath.
"We seek for Mrs Wallow." Charlotte say, confused about the guy that just step in.
She thought, maybe he is an assistant.
"You can see me in place of her." The guy say, his voice barely echoing the parlour.
" We know you might be an assistant, but---"
"Will you talk. " The guy interrupted Charlotte as he smirk.
" If you gat no better thing to say, get out! " He say coldly.
" Sir. " Kyla pause as she glance at Charlotte whom has turned mute, her new attitude is now calm, and Kyla found it weird, that her blabbermouth friend is now hiding at her back.
The guy raised his brows at Kyla. "What" He say
"Though, my main purpose is too see Mrs Wallow, but I hope I can really rely this to you. " Kyla say. She swallowed hard before continuing.
" Me. My dad, politician Jagan borrowed from your. Borrowed a half billion pounds from Mrs Wallow. And---"
" You wanna pay it back? " The guy ask in a sudden.
Kyla pause, she glance at Charlotte who seem not to be helping any longer.
Well, it's her family problem. She should face it!
"Nope." Kyla answered
"There is nothing to say." He was about walking away as Kyla rush to him, grabbing his arms.
He looks shocked and surprised at her attitude.
Goosebumps, began flowing through him, he stare at Kyla.
They were green, No, brown. A wonderful combinations of green and gold eyeballs.
Her Hazel eyeballs, staring through.
He could feel his subconscious jumping in happiness.
He flinch making her hand slide out of her hold, in holding him.
"Sorry." Kyla apologize, as he watch her lips jump at the words.
He stare at her, Her brown hair neatly styled into a simple ponytail.
She wasn't wearing any makeup, nor lip gloss.
Her pinkish lips, made him bite his lower lip unknowingly.
"Sir." Kyla called with a pleading look. "I will do anything to serve Mrs Wallow if--"
"Will you serve me instead if I pay your debts." He ask still fixing his eye raping gaze at her.
Kyla look dumbfounded, how would a--, no an assistant pay the amount of,
"Yes." She answered immediately, not to criticize her thoughts in thinking he is up to something.
She saw it as a big opportunity, and a big given chance.
"Yes, I will work with you instead." She replies rushing her words as she go on her kneels.
" Please. " She pleaded.
' It's won't be bad, having her as a mistress slave. ' He thoughts, lustfully.
"Send the required amount to Wallow." He say to the other guard beside him.
Wallow?!
He just mentioned his boss's name without regards.
Kyla thought as she arch an eyebrow at him.
"You will be serving me, from the next two days." He say as he walk away with the armed guard whom must have scared Charlotte to go mute.
"Come with me, for the necessary requirements." The guard, whom the guy gives order to tell her.
Kyla smile happily, proud of herself. She just push her family out of a debts.
"Hey, come on." She say to Charlotte who obeyed as they walk with the guard to fill whatever documents that is needed.
