Chapter 8

Two months later.

Stella's POV.

Oh my! It's resumption Week!

I am now a final-year student!

Yay!

It still feels so unbelievable because it still seems like yesterday when I entered senior high.

But oh well, that's how life is I guess.

That's why they always say.

Time waits for no man.

This morning while I was dressing up for school, I realized that my uniform skirt is now getting shorter.

" You are getting a little taller now, Stella. " I heard my mom comment, I didn't even know when she got there.

" I think so, mom. "

" Hm, it's normal as you are still a Teenager, you tend to grow every day, it's just that you don't notice. "

" Yes, I guess I heard that from our biology teacher. "

" Of course. "

" By the way mom, why are you still at home at this time? Aren't you going to work today? " I asked.

" No why? Don't you want me to stay at home? " She inquired.

" It's not like that mom, I am just curious since you aren't always at home at this time that's all. "

" Oh, I just want to stay at home today to rest and also to babysit you. "

" Really? You are so funny mom, I am not a baby alright? "

" I know, alright but I just feel that I have been neglecting you too much that's why. "

" Okay, it's good that you have come to realize that. " I said.

" Don't be like that, you are making me feel so guilty. "

" Oh, I didn't realize that, anyway I'll be heading to school now, it's almost seven o'clock. "

" Alright, but aren't you going to have some breakfast before you go? "

" That's true, I'll eat it before I go, I don't want to go to school with an empty stomach on the first day. "

" Hm, I am glad you Realized this. "

" Thanks for Taking care of me, mom. "

" You are welcome, Honey. " She replied with a smile as she embraced me.

I got to school just in time for The morning assembly.

During the Assembly, the principal welcomed us all back to school and advised us to focus well on our academics and nothing else.

She also advised the final year students to focus more on the Preparation for our final examination so we can come out with good results.

She also informed us that the prefects will be chosen soon so we should be prepared.

After the short morning assembly.

" Hey, Stella. " Steva greeted me as soon as we bumped into each other in the hallway.

" Hi, Steva, how are you?"

" I am perfectly fine as you can see, what about you? "

" I am fine too. "

" Hm, I see that you've started arriving at school late, Don't Tell me it's because you are now a final year student. "

" Oh, it wasn't intentional, I had to have my breakfast before I left home today. "

" Okay, I see, by the way, your uniform is now getting shorter on you. " She noted.

" Yes, I just saw it this morning, I guess I am growing taller now. "

" And more Attractive. " She added.

" Whatever,... "

" Tsk, tsk, I see that you guys are already here. "

" What's up Gloria? "

" Nothing much, I am just wondering for how long you guys friendship will last? "

" Oh, so how is this your business? " Steve asked crossing her hands on her chest.

" It's my business alright? I'll love to be able to win my bet. "

" What bet? "

" Don't be so forward, be patient, you'll find out soon. " She said with a wink as she walked away.

" Such an annoying creature. " I commented.

" Yes, she's always a bully. "

" Hm, I am still wondering what the so-called bet is all about. "

" Let's be patient but I am completely sure that if she's planning against us, she won't succeed. "

" Of course, she won't. "

" Let's head to class now, we are having literature this morning. "

" Of course, how can I forget that, let's go before the literature teacher gets to class. "

" Alright. "

During the break, that Day, Me, Steva, and three of our classmates were summoned to the Vice principal's office.

On the way there.

" Why do you think we are being summoned? " Steve asked me.

" Not sure but I think it's related to the choosing of Prefects. "

" Oh, does that mean that we are likely to become one of the school Prefects? "

" Of course. "

We got there in no time and we entered the Vice principal's office which was a large room with Tables and chairs with Pictures hanging on the wall, it can be said to be a library with the mountain of books there.

We then realized that we weren't the only students summoned as there were other students from Science and commercial class there.

" Good day, students. " The middle-aged female vice-principal Mrs. Naan greeted acknowledging our presence.

" Good day, Ma. " We Replied.

" Hm, you must be wondering why I summoned you to my office all of a sudden, isn't that right? "

" Yes, Ma ."

" Hm, after so much consideration the principal and teachers have decided that we should choose the Prefects and all of you here are the ones that will be School Prefects. "

" Okay, Ma. "

" Yes, Tomorrow morning at the assembly all of you here will be given your various prefect barges. "

" Okay, ma. "

" I hope you'll be efficient with your duties and responsibilities and make our school proud. "

" We will, Ma. "

" Good, you can head to your classes now and remember to arrive early at school tomorrow. "

" Okay, ma. "

Soon we started heading to our various classes.

while we were on the field on our way to the school Canteen.

" Hey, Stella please wait up! " I heard my name being called and I looked back only to see Sera Winfrey the Best student in science class, she was in her lab clothes.

It seemed like she was coming back from the laboratory when she saw us.

" Hi. " I greeted when she Approached us.

" Hm, sorry for calling out to you all of a sudden, I hope you aren't offended."

" It's okay, I am not. "

" Okay, I just wanted to ask you a question. "

" Go on. " I replied.

" Alright, I read a book online yesterday titled, Royal Alpha by Stelva@16, so I was wondering if you were the one that wrote the book. "

" Oh that, I am the Writer of the book, it's one of my ongoing books and yes it's my first fantasy romance book. "

" Oh my God! Wow! That's your book? " She asked with a bewildered expression.

" Yes, it is hers. " Steva replied.

" You are a very talented writer, Stella, You got me hooked to the story. "

" Hm, thanks. "

" My pleasure, by the way how many chapters are you planning to write for the book? " She inquired.

" Hm, about 200 chapters. " I replied.

" Wow, that's a lot. " She said.

" Yes, I am trying to aim higher and higher every day. "

" That's good, I'll work hard to become your top fan. " She said.

" Okay, I'll be waiting. "

" Hm, thanks for your time. "

" My pleasure, by the way, why are you still putting on your lab cloth? "

" Oh this, to be honest, I have already forgotten that I am still wearing it. " She said as she took it off and folded it up.

" It's alright, you must be already used to it. ''

" I think so, Hahahaha. " She laughed awkwardly.

" Since you are here, why don't you join us for lunch. " Steve offered.

" Is it alright? " She asked hesitating a little.

" Of course it is. " I replied.

" Alright then, I won't hesitate. " She replied enthusiastically.

So at the end of the day, we had lunch with the famous Sera Winfrey.

Then I realized that she wasn't arrogant and proud as I thought.

She was very easygoing and kind.

Then I realized that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
