CHAPTER 34

Escort you to where exactly? Ella asked uneasily.

Don't worry you will see once we get there.

Oh okay, I hope it's not a bad place?

Ella giggled lightly no it's not, you don't have to worry.

If you say so, Ella muttered still reluctant to go with her but unfortunately she had agreed already, and it would seem a type of way if she suddenly refused.

One lesson kachi had always learned right from home, was never to escort a friend

"Somewhere ".Literally it had gotten a lot of girls into trouble, that they couldn't even live to tell the stories but she trusted Ella and believes she's not the type of person to hurt other people, plus she wanted to make her feel better over her dispute with ayra.

***

The best essay goes to A- Alice Thompson she announced surprised and looking over her students, come have your script she commented.

There was astonished gasp from the class, then a reluctant clapping as she stood up, catwalked and walked to the teacher.

I believe you didn't write this essay yourself right? the teacher commented dryly waveing the script across her proclain face.

You don't have any prove, therefore I wrote it myself she replied collecting her paper with a flourish and cat walking back to her seat amidst cheers from her friends.

Mrs thin cleared her throat, jammed her glasses against the rims that will be all class but turned back to them hope you guys are aware of the details of the escortion?make sure to be early on that day so as not to miss the bus she said finally walking out from the class.

Byeeeee Mrs thin alice chorused, that wasn't actually her real name but she got the nickname because of her body shape and her choice of dresses, which outlined her body in a bad way.

Alice didn't like her, she didn't like any teacher in her school because they all acted as though they were better than everyone else and always assumed her head was empty of knowledge . Well they assumed right, but did they have to make her feel small of herself? It wasn't her fault she wasn't as smart as ayra and she refused to feel bad about something she couldn't control, she thought to herself starring at excellence that was marked with a red pen, she would have to thank ayra for this , she muttered thinking of how she would show gratitude to her little annoying sister she felt masculine arms around her.

Babe am proud of your achievement, Troy commented kissing her check multiple times.

Which one babe? My score or the fact that Oliver Rodrigo is the performing artist in my birthday party she said almost squirming with glee.

Troy chuckled a deeply and faced her, sitting on her desk he tugged at the cute ribbons she had used in decorating her hair, both babe am glad for you this seems to really be your month but we both know you didn't write the essay right?

Alice was smiling up until his last statement, then her face scrunched up in a frown, Troy she started slowly what do you mean by that?

Nothing babe, forget it.

Are you saying am too dumb to write a damn essay? She questioned raising and lowering her voice at the same time to avoid rumors that they were fighting, they were the perfect couple in school they simply couldn't be caught fighting.

I'm sorry love, I didn't mean it that way please don't get mad.

Better Troy, what was your own score?

I don't know, who cares about the stupid score anyways he said shrugging.

Yeah it's stupid, school is scam Alice agreed subtly understanding that he had gotten a low score on the essay .

You are right babe he muttered nibbling on her jaws, we have a match later today you will be there right?

Uhm Alice was about to oblige , when she caught a whiff of a strange secent on him.

Babe you smell different.

Uh Troy creased his forehead , how? What do you mean?

You have a - you smell feminie she stated narrowing her eyes at him.

Oh I changed my perfume, he replied smoothly I got tired of the previous brand and decided to try a new one.

Alice stared at him right in the eyes for a whole minute, trying to decipher if he was lying or not she opened her mouth to say something but his friends interrupted her flow.

Yooh you two get a room Jim said holding a basketball in his arms.

Yeah, allow the singles to breathe another said and soon they were surrounded by his group of friends, with all of them gushing how cute they looked as a couple.

Hey Alice can you recommend the AI you used in writing the assignment? I really need jim said.

Fuck why can't they all move past the damn essay, they really viewed her as dumb.

Alice smiled widely at him, unfortunately you can't use it because the AI I used is my brain honey.

C'mon we all know you are too busy being beautiful to be smart as well he replied earning a laugh from all of them .

Jerks she swore in her heart, just because she prioritised beauty didn't mean she was flat out dumb, she had a sudden urge to revamp her whole persona and work hard at her studies just to prove to this idiot, that she was smart when she wanted to be. Unfortunately being intelligent in this school would drop her popularity status greatly, plus she couldn't risk behaving out of character her birthday was coming up soon.

She laughed with them, but hers dropped drastically and she said turns out I am beauty and brains at the same time. Troy don't you think so? She asked irked at him, that he wasn't doing anything to defend her against the jerks he called friends.

Yeah yeah, Troy said wrapping his arms around her. Hey who's ghosting the dumb escortion? He asked changing the topic.

Nah am not going, gonna use that days and cruise on my dad's yatch. _ Peter.

Guys it's compulsory , you miss it you might have missed the whole term of school.

They all groaned in consternation, Alice was too excited on going equally she needed time to concentrate on her birthday celebration it was fast approaching . They all bantered on random stuff happening in the school, while Alice was busy thinking of the color she should print her invitation card in her head, and suddenly Troy 's phone kept ringing consistently but he kept muting it.

And when she quietly commented that he should answer his calls, he seemed a little bit nervous but said the call wasn't important.

Alice narrowed her eyes, something wasn't right with him but what could it be??
