In between.

seriously mom? Why does she have to be the one all the time??!.....i can cook too!" Ivory's younger sister whined and glared at her.

"Nia, you'll cook when it's your turn. After all, you initiated this method"

their mother tried to coax her..

"but still.....you compliment her food more than mine" she sulked making Ivory chuckle while serving their dinner.

" Nia, as a good sister that I am, I'd rather do the cooking. You should enjoy me now that am still here"....

Nia glared at her sister before smiling evilly

"of course dear sister, I have to enjoy your presence while you're still here....which means you have to increase the time you spend with me, the money you spend on me....." she rambled on and on

Ivory's mother- Maurice- Laughed alongside her daughter while rubbing Nia's head affectionately "just so you know young lady, your sister will be leaving tomorrow "

"WHAAAAAAT???????"

The next day

"waaaaaaah...wuuu wuuuu....I...can't believe you're leaving today!!!! again!!!!!" Nia wailed as she hugged her sister like her life depended on it.

"my dearest sister, please don't cry" Ivory whisperd to her while she held back her laughter.

"hold on.....so if today is Monday, that means yesterday was Sunday!!! wuuu wuuu wuuuu...you're such a bully!" Nia feigned anger as she raised her mango sized fist to hit her chest.

Nia West who happens to Ivory's younger sister and the last born of their parents. Fifteen years of age with a sharp mindset when she's outside but a childish character whenever she's with her family.

After the whole shoe, Nia finally accepted the fact that her sister is moving away from them.

"oh c'mon sis!! I'll just be away for a few years" Ivory said as she moved away from the clingy koala girl and dashed for the cab that'd take her to her new school.

Nia stood transfixed as she glared at the receding vehicle that has her sister in it.

She faced her mom and asked timidly with tears filled eyes "is she really leaving.....for a few years? a few years!!!!!!???? how many few years os she repeating!!!!!?????"

Her mom placed her hand over mouth to avoid laughing loud .....

Nia gulped down an invisible saliva and started wailing

"waaaaaaaaaaaaa.....wuuu.....a few years is a long time! why do I feel like my life is place on repetition!!!! waaa wuu wuu wuu

...mom they'll bully my sister!!" she pulled her mom's hand "let's go!!"

Maurice couldn't contain her laughter anymore as she burst out laughing

"she'll be back after a year"

The wailing Nia stopped abruptly and glared at her mother who had an "am innocent" look on her face....

'you despicable woman!!!!!!' she thought and dashed towards her mother.

* * *

Nia stared at the road ahead of her in silence.

She let out a chuckle unconsciously as she remembered how she had teased her sister before leaving.

'it's gonna be a long day'

she thought before drifting off to a peaceful nap.

After four straight hours of sitting in the cab and munching on her home made snacks...they finally arrived at Marigold High.

Ivory alighted from the cab and made her way to the school gate towing her luggage along.

"Hey the Goddess is back!!" A female brunette student exclaimed as she ran towards ivory, gaining the attention of other students who happened to be fans of Ivory.

Afterall, Ivory West is not only a beauty on the outside but the inside too.....being the most popular girl in school has its own ups and downs and quite unfortunately for Ivory, she happened to experience the latter part most of the time.

"Senior West, please let's help you with your luggage" the brunette and her lackeys begged

A group of boys approached them with scorn on their faces as they examined the brunette girl with disgust.

"Just because our dear Goddess saved you from being kidnapped, you think you can now suck up to her??? You're never worthy of her time so scram" the leader who happens to be Ivory's secret admirer spoke up.

Ivory rubbed her temples as she felt headache coming her way 'so much for being popular'

After sorting the "important" issue on ground, she made her way to the females hostel.

"Ivory!!! Babe I missed you!!!" The voice that had been haunting her in a good way was suddenly heard from a corner in the hall. Unconsciously, she smiled and made her way to the voice.

Seeing Cole with a bouquet of chrysanthemum flowers and her favourite white chocolate, she couldn't be more happier. She hugged him like her life depending on it as he peppered kisses on her face.

Taking in her feminine scent he whispered " I missed you so much" earning a childish giggle from Ivory.

That's right, Cole Bryn is Ivory's boyfriend. He turns out to be a captain in their school basketball team and both in football.

With a not so slender physique, with a height of 167cm, well chiseled face, deep blue almond eyes and a blonde hair, who wouldn't want a hot cake as him. Practically all the girls had their eyes on him, but their hope of ever having him was lost as he boldly declared Ivory as his after winning a match again their rival school.

"I missed you too Cole...even though you came over two days ago" Ivory chuckled as she collected the gifts from him and led him to her room.

Pretty sure you're wondering why a guy cam gain access to a girl's room...of course its possible when Cole is involved. Expect nothing less from the students Council president.

As soon as the door to Ivory's room was shut, a shadow walked away in total anger.
