CHAPTER 3 BLESSED

"May I have permission to come in?" Asked Martha in a kind and gentle manner. John was sitting with a chair turned around. He turned his chair and said, "Yes please, Martha." Martha came in while worrying about what would be the important announcement. "Have a seat," John said. Martha sat comfortably on the seat and exhaled slightly. All the other teachers came one by one? Finally, everyone was seated. John cleared his throat and said, "respected staff, you're called out for an important announcement. The announcement made everyone keep waiting. Teachers looked at each other's faces. "Yes, the prize. The prize that I didn't know too has been announced by the head office. The team who won is 'lazy Bees' from your class, Miss Martha." Miss Martha felt proud of herself and thanked them for appreciating her. "Okay,y'know I can't wait to tell you what's the surprise. So what happened today was, when I was in my office I got a call from above." "From above?" Asked Ricky while pointing Towards the Sky. "no! no! no! no! no! no! no! not from that "above"! I mean from the head office. Anyways, Marie asked about the winning team. I probably took the names of those girls and she appreciated them too. Then she reported that the girls are going to have the biggest surprise of their life. I then asked what it was. She said to give them travel packages." Smiled John. Martha smiled broadly and the other teachers got shocked and still appreciated Martha. "sir can you provide us further information about that?" Asked Martha. Sure, keep listening. So, she told me that travel packages are for one week. In 1 week they will visit the aquarium, Cantashio Hills, and Mario campsite with the stay at the R.Steins hotel." "It's just amazing!!" Said Christina. "But who else is going with them?" Asked Louis, "Of course, their class teacher and I." Replied john " Then what else will the remaining school do?" "it would be better to keep the school closed for at least one week" suggested a teacher "Yep. That's a lot of time traveling. Alright, that's what it is. Louis, I want you to prepare a notice of what I told you." Ordered John. "'Kay," agreed Louis. "Okay, Martha. Anyways I want you to make a list of things to go with. The rest of you handle the class and complete your remaining work. Today is...Friday so we'll leave on Sunday. Clear?" Explained John "Clear!" Said everyone in an energetic united voice. Everyone left the conference room and went to their classes. John went to his office and Martha went back to her class, "Good morning class, once again." "Good morning teacher. You came back so early?" Asked one of the students "Yep but I brought something else." "What is it?" Asked Robin. "Why can't we see it?" Asked another student. "Cuz it's not physical. "why are you making us wait? "Okay, so the thing about it is the news. A piece of good news" "what is it? Asked Sierra curiously. "Be patient." Chuckled Martha and continued, "Anyways Sir John told us that the surprise had been announced for the winning team." "teacher isn't it unfair that from six classes only one group has been selected as a winner?" "I can't do anything. It's from the head office. So what I was saying was that Mary called from the head office and reported that for the winning team there's a travel package for 7 days." Girls happily chuckled and the class got shocked and appreciated their success. "Hey! hey! it's not done yet. So what she said later is the most interesting thing that the places mentioned to visit in one week are Pacific aquarium, Cantashio Hills, Mario campsite with a stay of R. Stein's hotel!" "You are just blessed dude!" Said Alex. "it's insane! They are going to enjoy it and we're going to be shadow banned. No way!" "Who said this to you?" "No one?" "Then? Anyways, the school will remain closed for one week until they come back." "Cool, it seems like a fun adventure," said Sarah. "Yeah," Agreed Sierra. "At least you liked it anyways later you will be given a list of accessories that you are going to take along with you. So be mentally ready for your biggest Unforgettable trip." "So when are we going" asked Sarah "it's about Friday..." said Martha. "Yep" agreed Sarah "We will leave on Sunday." What about us? Said one girl in a hurt voice. "You will be given certificates for participating. Happy now?" Said Martha "A bit." Replied the girl. "So the whole school will be given a circular. Happy vacation for one week! enjoy your Vacations by studying and preparing for Christina's given surprise test. See you, take care." She left the class and went to the computer lab to take a printout of the list. Soon the Bell rang and everyone ran for the cafeteria but the girls went slowly gossiping and laughing and teasing each other. They picked up their mess tray and picked up the food and got seated in their usual seat. They chit-chatted about their trip and studies "So luckily we are selected for the prize. congratulations!" They cheered themselves with their juice boxes" "you know What's the happiest thing to me?" said Alana "what?" Chuckled and asked Sierra "everyone's going to prepare and give that mega surprise test and we're going to move around the world yeah!" "Hey, did you notice the girl beside you was so jealous." Sarah "who?" asked Athena. Alana was eating her fries and she spilled them out when Athena asked "the girl with a duck face?" "No! no! no! no! not that one" Said Sarah." the girl with the nested hair?" Said Athena. "Oh man holy s***," said Sarah Alana spilled the food from her mouth Alana coughed, and laughed. Sarah and Athena were arguing while Sierra noticed her and gave her water. After drinking water when she felt herself right she said, "Have you gone Mad?" "What happened?" Ask Sarah, acting as if she doesn't know anything. "Leave it." exhaled Alana. "Okay, so which kind of dress are you going to wear on Sunday?" Asked Alana. "Wait. What? it isn't a fashion show that says ' oh my God! What are we going to wear?' or blah blah blah blah blah" said Athena and everyone chuckled but Alana made a done face. "I am going. Enjoy your meal, bye. "Wait honey, where are you going?" Said Sierra and grabbed her hand and said "You know you are the baby of this group we can't let you cry." Said Sierra. "Yeah, we are just kidding." Comforted Sarah. Alana folded her hands like a baby and ignored them. Everyone teased her and finally made her laugh. At that time Lisa came and spoiled their mood. "Party, party, uh?" Everyone made a face. Sierra murmured "here, Dogs came to bark." Lisa heard this and stepped forward. "How dare you?" Sarah stood up and stopped her with her hand. Lisa looked at her with high-tempered eyes. Sarah was calm; she poked her lips with her tongue and looked at Lisa, "Not this time. You better go on your feet or I have to call an ambulance for you." Louis came there and said, "what's going on?" "Nothing to worry sir, she just came to apologise for what she did," chuckled Sarah and hugged her "Yeah, yeah! I also came here to appreciate them. Agreed ,Lisa and gazed at Sarah. Louis staat red at them suspiciously and silently. Sarah kissed her face and hugged her. "Okay,everything seems to be fine. if! I got something wrong...-" "No! no, never." Said Sarah with a smile. "Yep, there will be nothing." Lisa said,"anyways, see you!" Louis said and left the mess for a while. They looked at Louis going outside the cafeteria Sarah pushed Lisa at a side. "I'll watch you later! you-" "ah! Uh! no, no, no!" Said Sarah. "Oops!" Lisa said and left the cafeteria. Again they settled down and finished their lunch. And like this the day went and the night came they went to their homes. In the evening, Martha sent a text to the list whilst Sarah and Athena were writing a Blog. "It's kind of harsh. No?" Asked Sarah. "Can't you just stop overthinking? said Athena. Sarah murmured and typed the blog suddenly. "What is it?" "What?" "Wait. Oh! It's the list!" "list?" Sierra came closer and read it. "oh this is the item list. You should note it down so we can buy them tomorrow all right?" Ordered Athena "Here we go! Help me to note it down." Athena helped her and in 2 minutes they finished it. "I think we must go to Alana's home after shopping. Right?" "Yeah." Their phone rang and when Athena noticed she said, "oh! What timing!" Athena picked up the phone while Sarah was still writing the blog. "hello?" Said Athena "hello" and Sierra replied. "Sierra, is everything fine?" "yep. I just called to ask that did you get the list?" "Yep." "Okay that's good. Tomorrow it will be great if you come and have lunch with us." "Actually I..." "No excuses! By the way have you done your shopping?" "Nope." "Done!So we'll go shopping together." "All right. It seems to be the perfect plan." "Great so tomorrow 10:00 a.m.!" "10:00 a.m." "Great!" "Great, see you!" "Take care! Bye, my cutie!" They declined their phones and told their Partners. "what happened?" "nothing. She planned to have lunch together." "That sounds good." "I know.Then we'll go shopping together." "Fine." "Has it been done yet?" Asked Athena about the blog. "Almost there!" "Okay, I'm going to make spaghetti." Said Athena. "Oh you listen to my heart thank you." Said Sarah. Athena went to the kitchen and started to do preparations for spaghetti. On the other side they were eating pancakes made by their mom. "Did you tell them?" asked Mrs Arnold "yep. I also invited them for tomorrow's lunch." "great!" Said Mrs Arnold. have they done their shopping?" "No, not yet. I offered to go shopping together." "Good! Finish your pancakes so quickly you can have another surprise." "What's it?" "Let the surprise be the surprise." Said their Mother. "I can't eat it anymore." Reported Alana. "You have to finish or you are not going to eat the ice cream!" "Ice cream? Which ice cream?" Said Sierra surprisingly. "Of course our favourite mango ice cream!" Said Alana. "Thank you Mom. Thank you thank you so much! said Sierra. "Okay, okay. You will have your ice cream." Chuckled Mrs.Arnold. They are their ice cream happily and jogged upstairs to their room. They changed into their sleeping suits and went for the sweet sleep.
