Chapter 7

Mom woke me up to come and have breakfast the next morning, asking me what happened yesterday. I looked at my phone and saw Ava's missed calls but I ignored and didn't call back because I was mad at her.

I didn't answer her because I wasn't ready to start any conversation with her.

" Mom I'm not in the mood for any conversation, can you please let me eat and go to school in peace?"pulling out the chair at the dining table.

My mom decided not to disturb me with questions, she wanted me to be calm before doing that. I saw that my dad's chair was vacant.

I thought, "Where could he be? 

I asked my mom where he was, 

" Your dad has gone to the office, he said that he will go to a business trip next week so he has to get things done before the weekend" 

" Why does daddy keep on forgetting that I really need this car?" I questioned my mom.

" About the car, he said that he's sent money to your bank account so you can go for it and use it to buy your car" she answered.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

Time was running out so I had to go to school. I told my mom that I was getting late so I had to go to school. She told me to wait for her to drive me to school. 

" I'll order a ride mom don't worry"

I left her, ordered the ride and waited at the gate for the ride to come. While standing there, a BMW stopped by the gate. Someone got down from the car and the person was Ava.

" What are you doing here?, I thought you were supporting them." 

"I'm sorry Seraphina , I called you several times yesterday to apologize but you didn't pick up. Please don't get mad at me" she apologized.

I wasn't happy with what she did to me yesterday but what are friends for, I have to let things go and accept it.

" Hey girl don't worry I've forgiven you" I smiled.

Ava was happy that she reconciled with me. 

" Come on get in let's go" 

I told her that I've ordered a ride already so she should take the lead. 

Her smile changed to a confused face "Are you sure?" 

"Yes don't worry, I'll come okay" I assured her.

The ride came in fifteen minutes after Ava drove off.

My dad was moving around in his company checking on the staff to find out what they are doing. He had to put things in place in order to win the best CEO and the best company again this year.

" You people should stop chatting and concentrate on your work" he ordered.

One of his staff came to him to complain about something.

" Sir we saw that the goods here are not the exact ones imported" 

" What do you mean?, how did that happen" 

He went to get two of the goods and compared them. 

My dad found out that there's a huge difference in them. He was confused. 

He took the goods from the staff and went back to his office to compare them with the ones he's secretly kept. He found out that some of the different goods are in there too.

" What's happening in this company?, how did these end up here?" He mused.

He didn't know what to do, he really wanted to find out who's behind all these problems he's facing in his company. 

He decided to go on a business trip, come back and take action towards what's happening.

In my class, the lesson started. I wasn't concentrating because I couldn't wait for us to close so that I could go and withdraw my money for the car. I was very excited.

Ava saw me and found out that I wasn't concentrating on the teaching.

" Seraphina!" Waving her hands in front of me.

She brought me back from my day dreaming the moment I heard my name.

" What's wrong?" she asked curiously.

I told her that I'll let her know when the lesson ends.

After the lesson, we decided to go on a stroll around the school. Ava told me to tell her what I was thinking about in class.

" Guess what?" I blurted out.

" Errrm, your Mom is pregnant"

" No Ava!, try again" 

" Okay you're getting married" she guessed again.

" Oh my God Ava, you're very bad at guessing, I'm getting my new car!" I told her beaming with joy.

" Wow and I was talking about pregnancy and marriage" holding my hands with excitement.

I told her that my dad gave me the money today to get it as soon as possible. She was very happy for me.

While talking about the good news, we heard someone calling my name. 

We turned and saw Alexander walking towards our direction.

" What does he want from me again?" I thought.

He drew closer to us, asked to talk to me alone. I told him that I don't have time for him. Ava was trying to make me talk to him but I walked away not listening to her.

" I apologize on her behalf, please what did you want to tell her, you can tell me if you don't mind" Ava asked him 

"I wanted to apologize to her," he answered.

" What did you do?, I thought you've never met before" Ava pretended to be unaware of the reasons for his apology.

He told her what he did.

Ava acted as if she was shocked " did you really do that?" 

" Please don't judge me, I was drunk" he explained.

Ava assured him that she'll talk to me on his behalf. He thanked her and left.

Alexander went to the classroom and his friend started mocking him immediately he saw Alexander.

" I told you that she would not mind you but you didn't listen"

" Hey you should be the one encouraging me that I shouldn't give up" he said as he sat down at Felix's back.

" How will I encourage a guy who can get all girls at his feet when he talks? I know that you can do more than this but Seraphina is different, I saw that you became a soft person when you were going to approach her" he told Alexander.

Alexander smiled.

Ava hurriedly followed me to the classroom. As she was sitting down she asked me, " why did you do that, Seraphina?" 

" Should I still explain to you why I don't want to mingle with this guy?I even heard that he's a playboy, he dates girls and dumps them because he has money and also has the looks to attract them. Do you want me to be his victim?" I questioned her.

" No Seraphina, I saw sincerity in his eyes, I think he's very remorseful. Please forgive him" she pleaded.

I didn't mind her because I wasn't willing to accept any apology.

" Don't spoil my mood Ava"
