THE FIRST PUNCH

Wake up! Wake up Nicole. If you keep up with this, you're gonna miss your flight. You definitely do not want to disappoint your dad. Said grandma Lily to seventeen year old Nicolette Anderson. Sluggishly, she stood up to get ready for her flight to New York City to meet her dad and to finish her last year in high school.she got ready, kissed her room goodbye and headed towards the living room where her grandma and mama Diana (her neighbor) we're seated arranging the remaining things for her journey.

'oh Nicole, you're prepared, you look stunningly beautiful. I'm really going to miss looking at such beauty' said grandma Lily

' I'm pretty sure you're dad is going to be so proud to have you as a daughter, I mean not just him but anyone else, including me. I would have really loved to have you as my daughter in-law, but as God will have it, it's not meant to be' mama Diana said looking sad at the remembrance of her son, Ricky.

'Alright, that's enough, I don't wanna be sad any longer. Let's all forget about what happened and be at peace. And I....(she hears the horning of the tricycle she rented). Seems like it's time for me to go. Nicole said, hurrying to get the rest of her things and was escorted outside by her friends who just came in. She hugged everyone and left.

On her way there, she called her uncle Ken, as she wanted to see him for the last time before leaving.

'uncle ken, where are you? Don't you want to see me before I leave?

' I'm so sorry Nicole, I promise to meet you at the airport'

'Alright uncle Ken, but don't... Arrrgh! (Their tricycle was almost hit by an expensive jeep and her phone slipped)

'What the fuck happened, mister are you okay? She quickly hurried out about to check on him when the driver of the jeep reached before her. She was about to get to him too, when the owner of the jeep as slowly as ever got down from his car. For a moment, she forgot to breathe as she believed this was the most handsome man she had ever seen and couldn't be compared to anyone, except maybe Ric. At the mere thought of Ric she quickly regained her composure and strode towards him, and they met in the middle. He observed her and said 'You aren't injured' he looked behind her 'Your driver also seems fine. Dray (he called his driver) let's go' He was about to leave but Nicole turned him around to face her, grabbed his shirt and raised her legs to match his height. Even though she knew it wouldn't

'Look mister, (she said sounding as rude as possible) we don't seem injured and you're just gonna leave like that, no apologies for recklessly driving into our way. What kind of a person are you. You don't seem to even care if really we were injured'

'Miss I don't care to understand why you wouldn't let this slide. You weren't injured and we didn't hit you guys. Maybe this is what you want, here (he said after taking money from his wallet) since it's money you want have this (he threw the bills on her and forcefully pried her hands away from his shirt). You said we drove recklessly, but what about your driver who clearly wasn't watching where he was going. Pick up the money and stop bothering us' He was about to leave when she turned him around with force and punched him.

'We may not be riding in a car worth millions but that doesn't mean we are willing to accept money from a wretched brat like you. A simple apology was all I asked, but you decided to show off your money. Just so you know, we aren't peasants who accepts money thrown on the ground. Make sure to pick up all your money before you leave. She walked away to meet her driver and dismissed Dray.

He looked at her with so much shock but he had better things to do, other than care about her stupid tantrums for an apology which she can never get from him.
