  Chapter tenCYRUS KAYE P.O.V“How are you preparing for your exams?” My mom asked me at breakfast, the following day being a weekend. Thanking God for small mercies, she suddenly developed stomach cramps from not eating properly and the doctor advised her to stay home.“Exams has not started Mum, it’s just the beginning of the term”“Really?" I thought it was at least close to the midterms”“You thought wrong”Dad soon joined us on the dining table, offering us a mundane apology that no one needs, at least not me.“Sorry, I am late to the breakfast table.”Mom rolled her eyes, but otherwise kept quiet; she has discovered over the years that arguing with my Dad was a lost cause.

  Chapter eightMARIE RICHWOOD P.O.V“Marie Richwood?”“Shit,” I muttered, shocked by how shaky my voice was. I was not supposed to be scared of anyone. I hated it.“Principal Francis?”“I was told someone was impersonating my name on their first day school, what do you have to say about that Marie?” he asked quietly, putting his hands at his back like a disoriented preacherI sent Nicole an icy glare, which she returned with equal fervor. I would deal with her later, I turned to Principal Francis and sent him my sweetest smile, one I had used on teachers at Dale High a lot, and it helped me escape Detention lots of times. They were all so magnetized by it.“I am sorry about that Sir; I just needed to see Cyrus real quick and I knew he would not leave his books unless I used the name of a higher authority like yours”“Is that so?” he asked incredulously clearing not believing a word I said.

I did not have to wait for long, from my hiding spot, I could see him coming closer arguing with Anna, the petite girl was doing such a good job, I felt like giving her a medal, he was perfectly distracted, his brows creased together, showing he was extremely annoyed.

After what I did to Marie at the library, I knew she was going to retaliate but I did not expect her to disappear.Examining Anna, she was looking so worried and tensed, her hands wrung together, she seemed to be on the verge of tears. Fat globes of tears sat on her eyelids, threatening to fall which was something I hated, crying girls were not my thing.“No sorry” I answered eager for her to leave me alone, I was only waiting for the closing bell, so I can head home to the delicious food, Mrs. Adams always prepares for me, My Nanny is the best.
