Chapter 2
The bus came and she got in and it drove off. It reached the next bus stop and stopped for the people there to get in.
Four fashionable and classic looking girls got in and took the seats in front of her. When they were seated they removed the matching cap they wore. They all dyed their hairs different colours.
One was pink, the other green, the other red and the last person blue. “The Quantum mechanics girl is now trend at Brimford” the pink haired girl said.
“Yes she is quite lucky that she will be in the same class with Cal” the green haired said holding her heart.
“Keep crushing on him, he will never notice you” the pink haired girl said to the green one. “Hey Lydia and Kala cat got your tongues” the pink girl asked the blue and red haired girl.
They both turned to her and said “don’t want to talk” and continued pressing their phone. “Rude” the pink haired girl muttered and kept quiet.
“Wow so I am now trending because of the course I was given” Dorothy thought. She needed to find a solution which is changing the course and putting her dream course. And rewriting another exam won’t be an option because she spent almost her savings of five years to write this one.
Dorothy reached her house feeling so heartbroken and confused, how will she go about with the course she was given. She decided to leave the matter and go to her part-time work.
“You lazy, smelly, chicken-legged girl, you will be receiving half your pay this month” Dorothy was shouted at immediately she came in the restaurant where she worked part-time.
She looked at her wristwatch and found out that she was only five seconds late.
“It is not fair, Lady Pom I am just five seconds late” she said to her boss.
“If you think it is not fair, then go find somewhere else and work !” Lady Pom shouted at her again and threw an apron at her.
“Get to work” she told her and disappeared into the back door.
Dorothy went and dropped her bag and changed her clothes. She came to the reception and took some orders and went to the kitchen to get it. ” I need three burgers and a coke, six packet of French fries and six coke” she told the chef.
“You want to serve my customers ?” Lady Pom asked from where she was sitting.
“Yes I guess so” Dorothy replied wondering why she was asking her such question.
“No you are not, go to the dishwasher and start washing, I can let you downgrade my restaurant” she said and collected the order booklet from Dorothy.
Dorothy didn’t say a word but went to the dishwasher and started washing the dishes. She always endures everything her boss did to her because the work was paying good.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
9When evening approaches, Dorothy started preparing to leave, she dressed up and left the restaurant.
As she opened the entrance door and wanted to walk away when a fluffy hand held her. She turned around and it was the human-sized teddy bear that they use to attract people to their restaurant. The teddy bear removed it’s head and it was Mia, Dorothy’s best friend.
“Hey Doro are you okay? you seem troubled” Mia asked. “I am fine” Dorothy replied.
“No you don’t look fine, what is the matter?” Mia asked again. “OK you know what, let me go and change and then we will talk” she said and rushed inside the bar.
After ten minutes she came out dressed in a normal clothes “let’s go” she said to Dorothy and they started walking towards the bus stop. “Now talk” she ordered Dorothy. “I have been Quantum mechanics as a course” she replied. “What !” Mia exclaimed.
“But how? that course was not given to anyone for the past five years” Mia said. “Yeah I heard some students saying it” Dorothy acknowledged.
“That course is very hard, the last time I checked only one student is reading it at Brimford”. “Only one ?” Dorothy asked.
“Yeah” Mia replied.
“Mia, I really don’t know what to do” Dorothy confessed. “Here is what you will do” Mia began. “Go to school, make enquires about that student that is studying it and team up with him” she suggested. “Or I could just change the course” Dorothy added.
“Well the two options are good, just do the one that will work for you” Mia advised. “OK thank you so much Mia”. “You are welcome Doro”. They have arrived at the bus stop so they sat down and wait for the bus. The bus arrived a few minutes later and they got in. They both alighted at the same bus stop and went their separate ways.
The next day being Saturday, Dorothy went to the school administrative sector to change her course but they couldn’t help her because the list have been submitted to the Ministry of courses and cannot be brought back.
They told her if she didn’t like the course that she should make a report and rewrite the entrance exam so that they would not give her the same course.
Dorothy thanked them and left the office, she went to the school cafeteria and bought some bread and milk. She called Mia on the phone and told her she needed to see her. Mia agreed and came out, “I need you to show me the Quantum mechanics student” Dorothy said to her.
“No worrys, follow me” Mia replied and started leading her towards the school library.
They went inside the library and Dorothy was amazed by how big and orderly it was.
Mia took her to the most isolated part of the library and pointed at an insanely handsome guy writing something on his book.
“That’s him” she said.
“The Quantum mechanics guy?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes Calvin is his name but he prefers Cal” Mia replied.
“One more thing don’t ever…..” the rest of Mia’s word were cut off as they heard a loud thud.
