Chapter 16

A Week later.

It was another day, a Monday the beginning of a new week.

It was just like any other Monday in the eyes of other students but it is pretty different in the case of Stella and Steva as on this day they are back in school after their one-week suspension.

***

Stella's POV.

My driver drove me to school and at 7 am on the dot I was at the school gate.

A lot has changed in this one week and even my priorities had changed.

My main priority now is my studies.

I need to have good results in the upcoming final exams.

I had made a promise to my Dad that I was going to have Distinction in all subjects so well I gotta keep my promise.

Arriving at school today, as I opened the black gate and entered the school compound I made a vow to myself that I'll be the best I can ever be and not let anything distract me from my goal.

To be sincere, I miss Steva, who wouldn't?

We've been friends for two years now so missing her is inevitable.

I don't have a grudge against her.

My heart is completely clear.

I had forgiven her of everything she said because well it's not her fault.

I can't possibly blame her for reacting like that cause anyone would have if they were in her shoes so well.

To err is human to forgive is divine so I have forgiven her.

If We are truly meant to be then I am sure that we'll somehow to end up together and our relationship will end up.

But for now, I need to face my studies I need to make my mom and Dad proud.

And this is my promise to myself.

****

Steva's POV.

Oh, so my mom let me decide for myself this time and well, I have made a decision and that's to move on from all of this.

I have decided to not dwell on the past anymore and see all that happened as a nightmare.

I have to move on from all of this.

For myself and my parents.

Getting to school today I decided that I'll make the remaining months I am going to spend here memorable.

I have to live my life to the fullest and let nothing hold me back.

7:35 am

Assembly Hall.

The Praises and worship session had commenced and well the Students sang joyfully unto the Lord.

The assembly Hall was more Crowded than before perhaps it's because the Freshman students had resumed already so it was more lively.

Minutes later, the Singing and Dancing ended, and after the short sermon and prayer the Principal of the school ascended the podium.

" Good morning, Students. " She greeted enthusiastically.

" Good morning, Principal. " The students echoed in unison.

" I trust that you are all well, " She scrutinized the faces of the students.

" I welcome you all back to school and I hope that you'll continue to face your studies and make the school proud. " She said.

" Yes, Ma. "

" Good, on this note, I want to Welcome back our Library Prefect Stella Ellison and Studio prefect Steva Davies back to school, as you all are aware of, they were suspended last week Monday from school for their misconduct but now they are back and I want to say welcome to them. " She Motioned the duo to come closer to the podium and they complied.

" So According to our usual ritual, the two of them are going to say a few words of advice to us and apologies for not being a good example. " She said.

Gloria tched where she was, she stared at the two girls viciously.

" Good day, everyone, I am Stella Ellison the library Prefect, I just want to say a few words of apology for being a bad example to you guys, Firstly I am sorry for being a disappointment to you all and Lastly I hope that you guys will find it in your heart to forgive me and well I also have a word of advice and that's you should make your studies and education your no 1 priority, for now, Thank you.
