CHAPTER SIX

Riana was softhearted so, could not cope with pain. She could feel like running away anytime but, she decided to face her troubles even though she wouldn't last for long.
Riana went to the Vice Chancellor's office. She knocked on the door and after being given permission, went inside.
"You wanted to see me?" Riana said. "Yes, please sit down. My name is Laurel", the Vice Chancellor introduced herself.
"Mine is Riana", Riana introduced herself also. A short moment of silence passed through.
"I'm sure you heard me talking over the phone. I was talking to James Luis, the owner of the school", Laurel started. "So?" Riana asked a little bit confused. "We are in urgent need of a school asst. president", she paused and waited for Riana to respond. She didn't. "I called you because I saw your bravery, consideration, smartness, alertness and intelligence and I think you are the right person for the post", Laurel concluded.
Riana could not believe her ears. She loved leadership but that was the least she wanted now. She thought about Leah. Leah would surely make her life a living nightmare. "I'm sorry, but I have to refuse", she said finally. Laurel was disappointed. "Please give it a second thought. Just think about it, you'll only be assisting our school president, Leonard", Laurel said persuasively. She introduced Leonard into the subject because she thought that Riana liked him. And, she was right. Riana did like him and as she heard his name, she forgot all about Leah and her threats. "Then....yes", Riana said and Laurel was delighted. "But you have to give me some time before I start", Riana placed her condition. "Sure, take all the time you want", Laurel agreed smiling.
As Riana opened the door of the office to leave, she bumped into Leonard, "sorry" she apologized. He held her chin and as Riana was lost in his eyes, she suddenly noticed Leah's presence behind Leonard. "Watch your step or you might fall again", he said before going inside the office. Leah was furious. "I'm sorry, it isn't what you think", Riana said. "I know. You've definitely crossed the line by not taking my advice. Prepare for what awaits you", Leah hissed and walked away.
