Chapter 16: Half a woman.

Everyone were still quiet, until her dad said. "Half a woman? ". He chuckled softly. "Can half a woman handle the alcohol she might drink when she goes to that party". He paused then placed his hands firm on the table, before adding.

"Can half a woman stand up for herself when being harassed. Can half a woman know the meaning of bearing a child". Fiona clenched her fingers on her lap where a white napkin was placed. Not knowing how to answer back.

"That reminds me, where do babies come from". Came the silly words from Bluebell. Everyone's eyes darted to the Innocent being that sat cutely, munching something In her mouth.

"Well, Bluebell, babies come fro-... ". Daisy closed Britney's mouth before she could say another word. Daisy sat right opposite Britney, so closing her mouth was easy to do.

"Now Fiona, can you answer my questions, If not, your excused". I couldn't say anything so I wiped my mouth and went to bed.

After taking a shower and relaxing on my bed, I heard a knock on the door. "Come In". Fiona said, without making any effort to look at who entered.

"Fiona, can we talk". Fiona was surprised to hear Daisy's voice. She jolted herself from her bed to sit upright facing her.

"Daisy? Is something the matter". Her eyes held confusion In them. Daisy let out a sigh before heading to the bed to sit down close to Fiona.

"If you wanna go for that party so badly, why don't you prove It to mom and dad that you are half a woman". Fiona seemed confused on Daisy's words that she turned her head to the side to look at her, who was still facing the door from which she came from.

"I don't understand. Prove being half a woman?". Fiona knitted her brows.

"Yes Fiona. You know your not getting any younger and will soon leave them." Daisy then looked at Fiona with a smile

She then added. "When I was your age, I snuck out for huge parties, and mom and dad never found out". The smile on her face widened.

"So are you trying to say I should sneak out". Came the confused words from Fiona. Daisy slightly chuckled. "It depends on If that what you want". She raised a brow. Getting up from the bed, Daisy came to stand In front of Fiona, who was still confused on what her sister was saying. She hardly even spoke to her about this kinda things. She was the matured one around.

"You see Fiona..., I wasn't all matured you know. And what I'm saying Is that If you know right from wrong, and what It means to be a woman, I say why you holding your youth back. You might not get this chance again young sister". She then turned to face the door, going towards It, she gripped the handle and opened the door. She then stops In her tracks.

"So what are you gonna do. Sneak out or keep on living on the rules". She then closed the door.

Fiona was still confused, whether to sneak out or obey the rules. She thought about It for a while then feel asleep.

Waking up the next day she did her usual routine for school, had breakfast and went off to school.

She got to school as usual, peacefully so far, and went straight to class. Everyone seemed to be wearing their school uniforms, even Aviva.

Sitting on her sit,chattering with Aviva, Fiona's mind was still clicking on what Daisy said last night. "Um ....Fiona". Aviva clipped her fingers to get Fiona's attention, who was barely listening to what Aviva was saying.

"Sorry Aviva. Was thinking". Aviva frowned. "Your always thinking. Are you sure your okay". A worried look settled on her face.

Fiona smiled letting her feel no need to worry. "So am gonna get this cute bikini, what about you. And don't tell me your not coming". Adjusting the seat she sat on, In front of Fiona.

"Off course I'm coming, besides what colour do you think will suit me". Like she had made up her mind, Fiona decided to go for the party.

"Okay how about this..., we go to the lingerie store after school,and see what suits you more". Aviva smiled with her eyes partly closed. She was a beauty though, and did more hook ups than dating.

"Hey Fiona, did you hear the latest gossip". Aviva lowered her voice like a whisper so that no one else In the class would hear her. Fiona tilted her head In confusion but was curious to know one of Aviva's gossips.

"No, what happened". Aviva Inched her seat forward to whisper something. "Do you know that some students were caught having sex In class four". Fiona's eyes widened. Their classes were named with numbers, and class four was the class very close to the teacher's lounge.

"What!". Fiona's voice came as a whisper. "I didn't know that. When did this happen. Besides, we just got Into our final year, and this heck of a game was happening". Aviva shook her head too, In disbelief.

"And guess what...". Fiona Inched closer to hear more. "What?..." Disparate to hear what was coming next.

"The weren't using protection". Fiona gasped. Soon after, the teacher arrived.

After two hours In class, they made their way to the cafeteria. Still In shock of what Aviva told her, she thought It through on what Daisy told her.

Being half a woman doesn't mean you should give your body off, It means knowing where your rights and wrongs are placed.

After they had lunch, Fiona went to ease herself In the toilet, leaving Aviva to go to the class.

Immediately she was done washing her hands, she heard some noise coming from one of the cubicles In the bathroom. Curious on what was going on, she asked,

"Is anyone In there? ". With no reply, she opened the door only to be greeted with two couples making out.

She felt embarrassed opening the door on them. The girl stood half naked and the boy was shirtless. When the boy turned his head to see who was Interrupting them, Fiona couldn't believe her eyes, It was the pervert boy again.

The boy fully turned himself to face Fiona, with the girl he had been making out with, covering her face with his back.

"Well, well, what do we have here. An Intruder. Wanna join us". Came the disgusting words from him as he licked his lips.

Fiona felt disgusted but replied him back. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself, even In the girls' toilet". The boy chuckled before saying.

"So what, If you don't want to join us, you can leave". He banged the door shut and Fiona continued to hear the moan that escaped from the girl he was making out with.

The next thing she heard was a pleasured cry. Before she could hear more, she quickly left there.

She got back to class and there was no teacher, luckily for her. Sitting down, Aviva looked perplexed at her. "What took you long". "Washing my hands, remember I love doing that". A faint chuckle escaped from Fiona's mouth.

Aviva knitted her brows before agreeing to her.

After school, Fiona told her driver to take her to the mall, along with Aviva who came with her driver In separate cars.

"We're here". Mr. River said as he pulled the breaks. Fiona alighted the car along with Aviva, who stepped down from her car.

"We won't be long". Aviva told her driver. Her and Fiona then walked away from the parking lot, and then to the front door of the mall. The glass door that looked really clean.

Stepping Inside, there was a lot to see, from the second floor where customers roomed at every Inch, and then the main floor where there were few customers.

The mall had different stores for shoes, clothes, jewellery and so on. Aviva guided Fiona to the escalator; the machine stairs that rode them up from the main floor. When the came to the second floor, Aviva was the one guiding Fiona along the way, not that Fiona wasn't familiar with the mall, but Aviva knew where to find the bikini store.

When the came to a stop In front of a store for women, the then stepped Inside the boutique with pink and glitters as decorations. From gowns to bikinis, Inner wear and more, the store was a good pick by Aviva.

"Welcome to Shanel, our store Is what your looking for". One of the workers there offered her greetings. She wore a pink polo shirt and white shorts with white snickers. Guessing Is was the dress code for employees. And also, a name tag which was golden and her name Inked In black on It.

Guiding us around the boutique were we passed other customers, she then continued speaking. "From perfumes, to dress to Impress, we have you covered. So what are you fine ladies looking for". She had a pleasant smile that glimmered with her blue eyes and blonde hair. She looked like a doll.

Aviva was the first to speak. "Well.., we're looking for your best collection of lingerie and bikinis". Aviva gave a warm smile. The lady looked confused on seeing our uniforms, but forced a smile. "This way then". She lead us to a part of the store specially for lingerie and bikini.

On seeing the different varieties of bikinis and lingeries, my eyes spun. The were really alluring and sexy for one to wear. "This way". She guided us to view them up close.

"So I'll leave you guys to decide, while I go attend to the other customers". She smiled warmly before leaving us to pick.

"Come Fiona, this one would look sexy on you". Aviva dragged Fiona to see the black bikini Aviva was referring to. It had black ropes at the front of the bosom and the panties were the one that entered the butt.

Fiona nodded her head In disagreement. "But It will look hot on you". "No Aviva too exposed". Fiona shrugged. "Too exposed!. Your going for a beach party girl, and your complaining about exposure. You most be kidding". Aviva swayed her hands checking the racks of bikinis that were hung.

She then brought one out of the rack and said, "This one seems promising for me". She smiled with her eyes closed, showing Fiona the pink bikini she picked. It was nothing different from the black one she first showed her, the only difference was that It was pink.

"Hmm..., I'll go check for something else". Leaving Aviva who was then deciding on whether to pick the pink or black bikini which she now held In her hands.

Fiona moved her hands swiping each lingerie or bikini she touched, which seems not to amuse her. She finally stopped at one which was not very exposing and was cute. It had blue butterflies and ropes to tie It around the body. Same with the panties, which had the blue butterfly and ropes at the waist sides for It tie on the body.

She went back to Aviva to show her what she picked, and Aviva nodded In agreement. "Let's look for beach towels". "Mhm". They then but found beach towels that matched their bikinis. "Let's Change Into them then". When the got Into the changing room, Fiona took off her clothes and undies, putting on the bikini.

She was then finding It difficult to tie the ropes of the bra. She hitched her hands on the ropes to tie the bra, but It just came loose. "Aviva". She called Aviva who was In the opposite changing room. "Yeah". Aviva answered. "Can't tie the ropes". Fiona said, still trying to tie the ropes of the bikini. "Hold on, I'm still trying on mine". Fiona let out a sigh and dropped her hands to the side.

She tried again closing her eyes In frustration, when she felt cold fingers on her back. "Thank goodness your here, I thought I would never get them on". She then dropped her hands letting the person she thought was Aviva help her tie the rope to the bra.

When the person was done tying the ropes, she turned to thank Aviva, who she thought tied the ropes, when she saw Twilight In front of her. She was about speaking when he used a hand and covered her mouth and then slightly pushing her to the wall at the side.

She held confusion In her eyes. "Don't scream".He slowly removed his hand from her mouth.
