"Melinda Jordan....come see me after class or at your leisure time and don't you dare disobey me" He glared and Melinda roughed her hair angrily.

"Okay so what was our last topic?"he asked, Scott, Ciara and other people raised up their hands

"Jordan...why don't you answer this" he smirked..

"Okay so...our last topic was... something about the eclipse...or moon" She stammered and everyone laughed out loud..

"Wrong... detention now" he yelled making everyone flinch... Melinda stood up but reluctantly and dragged leg down to the detention....

"Jordan... you again....what did you do this time?" The teacher in the detention asked. "Nothing much just didn't know Mr Johnson's last topic",She replied taking her usual seat.

"Hm hm...how is Beatrice?...

"Good, annoying as always she yawned and brought out her phone and saw a message from her parents.....

She signed after listening to the message and placed her head on the table.....

"Uhm...i wanna go to the restroom..no noise or anything..." The teacher said leaving the detention room.

Melinda couldn't get her eyes of the a book which was adorned with amber coloured cover..placed at the edge of her table.. After few minutes of staring she took the book and was about to read when she entered back...she hurriedly put in her backpack not looking suspicious..

"Oh finally...the cool morning breeze of Indonesia" Jeremy yelled while Beatrice scoffed.

"Let get going to the hotel.." she said dragging him by the collar..

"Uhm finally" Jessica yelled sighting Melinda from afar.... "Okay so washroom or garden"? she asked dropping her bag back on the table.

"I prefer the ladies.....

"Okay let's get going..." Jessica left followed by Melinda.....

"Melinda darling...long time..he said making attempt to hug her but she shifted back saying; Yes uncle Bruce..long time"

"How is Aunt Linda ?" she added.

"Good...your cousins are so excited to see you after years..he said and she faked a smile.

"Ellen....!" Melinda yelled pulling her into her embrace... Ella was just fourteen years old.. she did the same with Ella who was just ten years.. their first born who was her age and their mum went out to get some groceries.

"She entered her new room for the next few months and signed...she didn't bother offing her school uniform which was a purple high waist skirt and black shirt complemented with purple bow tie.....

She couldn't help but think who and why anyone will steal the note from her backpack..?

"Mel... Melinda...dinner time"! She heard Ellen scream on top of her lungs from the bottom floor... after few minutes of groaning she got down and greeted Evelyn and her aunt Linda... the same way she did with Ella and Ellen....

They all ate in complete silence... Melinda cleared up her plate and went to bed immediately not speaking with anyone.
