Ariel: desire of schooling.

Ariel woke up on the comfy bed. all she could remember was lying on the restroom floor.

" it's high time you woke up. " Doris said, sitting comfortably on one of the armchairs in her room.

Ariel directed her gaze to where the voice came from.

" Mr Doris! " she said wearily. she held the blanket close to her breast.

" call me Doris. "

" Doris, why am I treated like a princess? "

" are you? " Doris raised a brow.

" don't act dumb!. "

" wild cat control yourself. " Doris warned.

" I'm sorry. " she bowed her head.

" look at me. " Ariel raised her head to meet his gaze, " you'll be my cook from now on. you are to assist Lydia in the kitchen till I ask her to stop cooking."

" Okay sir. " Ariel nodded her head.

" join Lydia in the kitchen now. "

" yes sir. " she stood quickly and wore her new designer flipflops. she was definitely going to get used to riches.

Ariel waited for a while, she wanted to tell Doris of her desire of schooling.

" I asked you to join Lydia in the kitchen." Doris said when Ariel stood staring at him.

" Doris I wanna go to school. " Ariel stared deep into his eyes. she hoped he'd say yes to her desire.

" hmmm. my wild cat wants to go to school!. " he stood from the chair and dragged her to himself. " join Lydia in the kitchen now! " he smiled and walked out of the room.

" how do you feel after sleeping. " Lydia smiled at Ariel. Lydia was chopping cabbage when Ariel came in. preparation for dinner was set.

" I'm good. what am I to help you with?. " Ariel smiled casually. she picked up an apple from the fruit basket and started devouring it, savouring every bite.

" I see you're hungry. " Lydia smiled, chopping the cabbage.

" Nah. I just love apples. "

" you're beautiful, hope you know that. "

" I know. everybody tells me that. " Ariel smiled. that was one compliment that she always heard wherever she went.

" I just felt like saying it. "

" Thanks. what can I help you with? " Ariel asked for the second time.

" please stir the stew. " Lydia said without staring at her.

" okay. " Ariel giggled and walked straight to the gas cooker and did as told.

" how many days are we going to use this stew? "

" just tonight. "

" what!!!! " Ariel turned briskly to face Lydia in shock.
