university entrance exam

when Luciana got home, she showered and started preparing dinner

"Richard how was school today?" she asked in the kitchen.

"it was fine." Richard replied.

"no bullies?" she asked again.

"who does the bullying?" Richard replied dryly.

"Richard you don't have to always be a nuisance at school" she said with a not too pleased expression on her face.

Richard gave her sideway glance and said "you're not my mum, why should I listen to you. moreover if I don't bully them, they bully me. that is life, stop stressing yourself over little things."

"you won't listen to me because I'm your mum? I pay all your bills and you won't even listen to me. Richard Smith I work for the money so.. it hurts seeing you showing lack of interest in school, I'm always hearing complaints from your school." she said raising her voice slightly.

Richard frowned and covered his ears, "I've always told you to stop shouting when we are meters apart, it hurts my ears. How about you let me take the university entrance exam and I'd surely be serious then."

"university entrance exam at 10?. because you have a very high IQ doesn't mean you can go to the university..." she didn't get to complete my sentence before he shunned her by raising his hands.

"it's not my fault you have a lower IQ compared to mine" he said giving her a disdainful look, "so.. stop using that as an excuse"he added

"I'm not trying to do, that I'm talking about reality here you are not mentally and emotionally prepared" Luciana said really infuriated and tired of this little brother of hers.

"ok how was your dream school hope there was no problem?" he asked not really interested in their topic of discussion and decided to change it.

Luciana narrated everything that happened in school and he started his annoying laughter.

"I can't believe my sister got used" he said

"don't forget that he's the son of the owner of the school" he added

"I'd just message him and apologize" Luciana replied.

"I'd be In my room then, call me when dinner is ready" he said.

let me call Becca then Luciana said and dialed her number. she picked almost immediately

"hi it's Lucy"

"you are already home?" Becca asked

"yeah what about you?" Luciana replied

"still on the way, my house is a little bit far from School" she said.

"can you do me a favor?"

"if I can" Becca replied

"Can you send the school president's number?" she asked

"which number? home address? ID? phone? car plate?" Becca asked.

Lucy twitched her lips and said "phone number"

"Iphone 11 pro max and Samsung Galaxy A76" she replied

"I mean his number that I can call him with" Luciana said with her patience running out

"I'm sorry I can't, he'd kill me" she said.

"I won't say that it is from you" Luciana replied

"he'd surely know" Becca said

"pwetty please"

"still no"she replied

"Becca dear" Luciana added pleasingly.

"what can I do with you" she replied

"I've sent it, I hope he doesn't skin me alive" she added.

"thanks so much you're a life saver" Luciana replied.

"have you done your assignment?" she asked

"I'd do it later" Luciana replied

"bye" she said and hung up.

Luciana folded her hands on her chest "such an annoying school president."
