Chapter 6: School
Lucia POV
"Lucia, you going to be late, if you not going to get out of that bed right now."I heard my mom's voice
shouting from down stairs.
I groan and pulled the duvet back over head trying to fall asleep again,but just when the sleep decided
to take over the blankets was ripped off from my body seeing a angry looking woman standing at the
sides of my feet with both of her hands on her hips.
I shiver feeling cold. Goosebumps started to form on my body by the coldness of the room. "Mom". I
called with a groan escapimg my lips.
"Don't mom me young lady, have seen the time? " she asked me gesture with her finger towards my
clock.
"Can you just give me 5 more minutes?" I asked her pleadingly, I sit up straight and wipe out the sleep
from eyes.
"No honey, get up you need to get ready for school now. "she told me in her motherly tone.
I sight, having no other choise to convince mom other way to let me stay for a few minutes. I climb off
from my bed and pick up my phone to see the time. It was pretty late and there wasn't time for me for a
long shower.
"Mom, I'm up you can go now I told her walking towards my bathroom and start getting out of my night
clothes.
" What do you want for breakfast baby?" she asked me
Toast, eggs, pancakes, cheese, tomatoes and a warm cup of coffee with lots of milk, thank you mom", I
told her from the bathroom. I chuckle knowing how her face just looks when hearing what I wanted to
eat.
"Honey, that's alot of food dear, tell me do you eat only for yourself? "she asked me.
I choke on the teeth past in my mouth coughing when hearing her say that. I rinse off my mouth and
peek through the door looking at my mother. " You really didn't mean to asked me that?"i asked her
with furrowed brows.
" I want to know darling, if you eat just for yourself or what because that's alot of food you want there."
She said," but it's good see you like that okay. I'm not going to delay you from getting ready. I'm going
now to prepare your big breakfast " she told me and walk out of my room.
I step back into my bathroom and shower quickly and get dressed. I take my phone from my lamp desk
smiling at the picture of me, mom and chrissy.
I wonder how her school day was as I run out of my room, down towards the kitchen where mom was
busy preparing my breakfast singing her best song.
I was really late, and I don't want to be late for my first day at my new school. It was 6:25 and school
starts 7:45. I wear my blue tight skinny jeans with my white tank top and atop my blue long coat and
with my white boot all star tekkie.
"Honey, don't ever run down the stairs or on the stairs please, what if you fall or hurt yourself?she
asked me putting a plate in front of me.
" But I didn't fall mom. "I told her eating on my pancakes.
" What if you did huh, just be careful next time. "she told me with a smile on her face also sitting down
on the chair.
" Okay mom, I said sipping off the eggs and stuffed more food after food in my mouth. Mom's undone
egg drop down my chin and all over my mouth seeing mom raise her brows looking at me giggling.
" You still eat like a baby, you need to stop that and grow up, it's ugly. You going to choke on your food
one day just see." she told me, drinking on her cup of coffee and shove me a napkin.
"Thanks mom, I said taking it from her and wipe my mouth and chin." This is just so delicious and I was
hungry. I don't know where it suddenly came from. "I told her chowing on the food left in my mouth.
A hard slapped fall on my hands making yell," ouch mom! "why was that for?" I asked her drinking my
last coffee.
"What did I taught you about speaking while having food in your mouth, you teenagers just never
learn." she told me with an angry look in her face.
"You just wanna be mean with me today and I really don't need it, it's my first day at a new school and I
need all the love."I told her looking sad.
She chuckled looking at me with her beautiful eyes. " you happy for today honey? "she asked me.
I sit still and breathe out some air, I'm not happy for today but I'm going to try to enjoy it and makw it
better. I'm starting at a new school with new teachers without my best friend by my side. To be honest
I'm scared, I don't know how I Wil cope for the next few months. But I felt like something good going to
happen today.
"I'm fine mom, what's the use anyway to be happ." I sighted,loking down at my empty plate.
I felt her took my hands in hers. She lifted my chin to look at her. She sighted, "I'm sorry darling for
everything, even for the reason why we left our house and my other daughter behind to came here. I'm
sorry." she said with tears in her eyes. If there was any better choices I could have made for us to stay
there, I would just for you. Listen, staying her will be worth it I promise you she said told me caressing
m cheek.
I felt awful and so guilty, I really didn't mean to make her cry but I just did and I felt very bad about it. I
promise chrissy I would look after and not make her cry.
I move out off the chair with tears streaming down my face towards mom and wrapped my arms around
her hugging her so tight. " I'm sorry mom for making everything so hard for you". I told her.
"I love you honey" , she said, now come one we need to go we have messed alot of time she told me
smiling and wiping her face.
Mom is driving us to school, it wasn't necessary but she really wanted to take me to school. She said it Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
was because she needs to sign some forms. The drive to school is so annoying and boring. Mom didn't
said anything to me because she is on the phone since we left home.
We finally arrived at the school. I read the name of the Greenland high school. The school is big and
beautiful. I'm jealous because our school is small and not so big, but I love that school. I'm shocked at
how big it is.
Mom look for a park spot for us until she find it and park the car. I climb out of the car and getting my
bag from the back seat and stare at the beautiful buildings in awe. This school is for rich people and I'm
starting to feel so out. I didn't know Im still standing at the car looking at the buildings until mom called
me.
"Lucia, come on the school is almost starting". she said. I felt eyes staring at me as I walked up
towards mom. I shake of the stranger looks I receive from them with a scoffed and walk on.
All the learners here is in some school uniform and it looks like I'm the only one not having one on
today. It is a nice white hemp with a blue skirt and black panties sock under. The boys goes just similar
with blue pants. The uniform is pretty cool.
We reach the head office of the school and went in straight towards a small desk. Mom smiled at the
woman who sit behind the desk with her glasses on her noise. She smiled back at us when she saw
us.
"Good morning ma'ma, mom greeted," I'm here with daughter just confirming that's she here and I'm
also here to sign some forms mom told her.
"Morning ma'ma the woman greeted back with a smile on her face," what's your daughter's name she
asked mom.
"Lucia Riet." mom answered happily caressing my back. My mind roam around this beautiful place.
"Her subject?"
"Come on darling, I think you can answer that." she told me moving me in front of the woman.
"maths, English, history, science, tourism and life orientation, thank you". I said moving away a bit.
She nobbed her head checking it on the computer. When she was done she give me my schedules and
tells us to wait for the principal, because he wants to see us for a moment.
After a minute she show us to a two black door and knock on it until we heard a come in by a deep
voice. She open the door for us and tell us to go in. Mom go in first and I follow.
A old man with glasses sitting down on his noise, staring at us with a smile on his face. "Please come
in and have a seat." he said.
Me and mom sit next to each other in front of the old man who sit behind a big black desk. "Thank you
sir, and good morning."
"Good morning sir." I greeted after mom.
" You must be Lucia?" he asked looking at me.
"Yes sir." I answered.
"Its a pleasure to have you here ma'ma". He said giving mom a form to sign. We don't have strict rules
here as long as you just obey to the one we have."
I try to listen carefully at what he say, " Respect your teacher and classmates. Be on time for school
and your classes and do your work. I hope you going to have a great time year with us, thank you.
"I'm looking out to see the same grades here and I see you don't have your school uniform on. I hope
tommorw you will." he told me looking at mom to see if she was done filling in the form.
"Yes sir, I answered also looking at mom.
About that sir, you didn't told me about what the school uniform looks but she will having it on tomorrow
I promise she told him smiling at me.
" Thank you, Mrs Riet. "he said but mom stop him to correct him.
" Miss Riet sir." she told him happily.
" Oh okay, my fault, you can go now young lady, your teacher is waiting for you."He said looking at me.
" Thank you sir, I said and stand up from the chair.
"Give this to your teacher, is for holding you up so that they won't scolded you for arriving late at class."
he smiled as I take the card from him.
Mom greeted him again and we left his office and walk out o the head office. She bid me goodbye
telling me to have a nice day. I take out the schedule check which period I'm getting now, seeing it's
English my favorite subject from Miss Swartz.
I reach for the map I got with my schedules and search for miss Swartz class, but I have no idea what's
going on on this thing and look around for some thing or someone who can help me.
I sight feeling hopeless and walk back into the head office straight to the smiling secretary. I smiled at
her, "hi, mm I'm kind of lost and I don't have a clue how to read a map, can you give me directions to
miss Swartz class please." I aksed her.
She chuckle, " You not the first one having problems finding a class dear, so it's okay. You walk down
the hall on your left and on your left the first the stairs the first class ther on your right. You can check
the number on the door. There's one on your schedule giving you all the subjects teachers class
numbers." She told me.
"Thank you so much." I told her and walk away so fast.
I walk up the black stairs giving off a dark light finding it strange why black out of all the colors. I reach
the last stair and check what is the number of the class on my schedule when suddenly a little girl runs
out of a class frightened me...She stops when she saws me and after her a woman runs out too calling.
"Honey no, wait."
I look at the woman and suddenly everything changes. My mind stops my eyes stops to blink and I stop
to even move. I've forgot where I was for a moment when my eyes landed on her face. It is the same
woman I met the other day, the one I couldn't stop thinking about and here she was standing in front of
me in all her glory.
I'm frozen, I felt dizzy and sick just looking into her beautiful blue eyes. The blood in my body moves so
fast as felt how my body started to itch deep inside,under my skin impossible to scratch it.
My heart beats so fast, I can feel it from out under my chest. I know she could hear my heart beats
making me feel embarrassed and shy. She didn't saying anything, but just look at me the same I looked
at her. Wh am I so at to this lady, what connection does she had with me for making me feel so good.
Why does she have this affect on me.
We stare at each other for so long, no one seem to look away. I felt strange and warm inside. My
stomach makes all sort of backflips. Her face is so pale but beautiful,she has pink small lips looking so
soft and sweet. Something flashes in her eyes caughting my attention, but she moved her face away
from me.
How on earth can only one woman make you feel like this. I give my attention back to the beautiful girl
standing in front me looking at me with a smile on her face.
I smiled back at her because she is just to beautiful having the same eyes lik this lady. "I told you
mommy." she said
