Chapter 6

Chapter Six: Exam results.

Ella's POV.

Time has passed and now it's time for our Promotion examination.

My books have been doing well and I have been getting a lot of fans lately.

My followers on Instagram are increasing rapidly it's like I have suddenly become a celebrity overnight.

The pay I have been getting is good, I just leave the money in my Bank account since I don't lack money for now but who knows I might need it later on in the future.

Well, I enjoy writing as it makes me feel a sense of accomplishment, especially whenever I see my book being featured on online platforms.

I am very proud of myself and I know that my parents are too.

I remember my conversation with my parents during dinner yesterday.

" Good evening, mom, Dad. " I greeted.

" Good evening, darling, how are you doing? "

" I am fine, mom. " I replied.

" Okay, that's good. "

" How are your Books doing, Ella? "

" They are doing great, mom, thanks for asking. "

" Hmm, don't forget to inform us whenever we need anything, we'll always be here for you, Kay? "

" I know that mom, thanks for the reminder. "

" Hmm. "

" Em, Ella ___ "

" What's it Dad? "

" Just say it, honey. " My mom urged him.

"I was thinking, how about you publish your books as a hard copy? Have you thought of that, Ella? "

" Oh my! Can I do that, Dad? " I replied a little shocked, you can't blame me though as I never thought of that.

" Of course you can, when you write a new book. " He replied with a smile.

" Oh, I'll think about it, Dad, Thanks for the information. "

" You welcome, honey, just make sure to inform me what your Decision is. "

" Alright, Dad, Thanks. " I replied enthusiastically.

" Hm, let's have our Dinner now before it gets cold. "

" Alright, Mom. "

We then proceeded to Eat the delicious Dinner of Yam and Tomato Sauce.

Since then I had been thinking about what my Dad said, I would be happy to publish my book as a hard copy.

I would love to get to a book shop and see my book being displayed on the shelf.

How happy would I be!

I need to start preparing for that ASAP!

Eva's POV.

Have I ever told you guys that I am a Painter?

No right?

But I am indeed a painter.

I love drawing and painting.

Perhaps that's why my favorite subject is visual art.

During Break time I often love spending my time in the studio drawing and painting.

I love bringing new creatures and figures to life and the funniest thing Is that I love drawing practically anything.

I remember the Portrait of my best friend, Ella I drew.

I could never forget her reaction when she saw the portrait.

She was like.

" Oh my God! Is this me??? "

It's really funny how I had to answer this question.

At school, our classmates often refer to us as The painter and the Writer.

Well, my future ambition is to be a Painter.

Though a lot of people might say that I might not earn much from it but I don't care.

I'd love to continuously spend my time painting and Drawing.

But I have also thought of being a Visual Art teacher though but well we'll see where the road leads.

I knew within me that I have got this talent and I am going to use it well since it's given to me by My Father in heaven.

Though I think it runs in my family as my Dad also loves to draw and paint.

Apart from my Best friend Eva, my Dad is also my number one fan.

He always told me.

<< Eva, dearie always remember that art is life, don't ever compare yourself to anyone because you are you, always listen to your heart and no one else. >>

My Dad is ever so loving and caring, I always enjoyed his company as he's very fun to be with.

Unfortunately, I only get to see him once or twice a month as he's a Tourist, he loves traveling a lot in search of knowledge and experience.

He always tells me.

<< I find peace and joy in traveling, I don't like staying in one destination, I love traveling so, Ella dearie, be limitless! , Spread your Wings and Fly!!! >>

<< Don't let outsiders determine your life, it's your life after all >>

So, therefore, no matter what anyone says or does I am going to achieve my goals!!!

*****

A few weeks later.

The results of our Promotion Examinations were out.

I was a little nervous, not because I wouldn't pass but because well, I made a healthy bet with Steva that I would have 98% in my examinations.

She didn't take my words seriously as she believed that there's no way our teacher was going to give me 98% but well I didn't give in to her.

The stakes were that I would buy her Lunch of Barbeque and Some refreshments.

She also demanded that I'll have to give her a Spoiler of my book A CRUSH.

I don't know why she's still so curious about what's going to happen in the story when it's almost at its end.

Though the stakes weren't much still I want to prove her wrong so I was still very nervous.

" Steva Davis you had 95% in the Examination therefore you are promoted to the next class. " Our Homeroom teacher announced as she gave the result to Steve who grinned happily.

I could feel the envious gazes of our classmates on her.

I wonder what's making them envious, after all, she didn't get a high score through Magic.

It was her hard work that paid off alright so why are they still so envious.

" Mary Jane, You had 80% in the promotion exams, therefore, you are also promoted to the next class as you passed the cut-off mark. " She Announced as she handed the results over to Mary a Blonde-haired girl in our class.

I soon got lost in my thoughts as I started thinking of how I was going to let my Male lead and female lead meet each other in one of my current novels, Tangled.

" Stella Ellison... "

I came out of my Trance immediately I heard my name.

" Yes, Ma. " I said out of reflex as I looked up.

The teacher Smiled Sincerely at me before she continued.

" Congratulations, Stella Ellison, You got the highest score in Arts with a Total percentage of 99%! " She Announced and then she gave me the result after which she patted my back lovingly.

" Yes! I did it!!!! " I exclaimed happily.

I Winked a little at Steva who rolled her eyes at my childishness.

" Didn't I tell you that I'll get it? " I said Proudly.

" I know, and I knew that you could do it, I was just pulling your legs alright? " She defended.

" Whatever, I still don't change the fact that you are going to treat me to lunch tomorrow. " I said happily.

" I will, I don't lack money anyways. " She said arrogantly.

I almost burst out laughing seeing her reaction.

' Arrogant as always. ' I thought.
