Alexia and Aaron climbed down the stairs with their luggages in their hands. "Woah, here they are. I'm
so proud of you my kids. And I will also miss the both of you really badly. I hope you get to complete
your schooling and come back really quick." Mrs Greg said, hugging Aaron and Alexia ready tightly.
"Mum, too tight.. too tight." Alexia groaned, as her mum hugged both her and her brother together,
really tight.
"I just can't stop feeling so sad. It feels like the both of you will never come back to me again. And I
don't want that. The both of you should always remember you have a mother back at home. And
always try to visit me, and make sure you always call." Mrs Greg said, still having her arms wrapped
around her kids.
"Mum, I will personally call and visit you. But I won't be able to do that, if you end up choking me, and
then kill me in the process." Alexia groaned, and her mother quickly separates from them.
"I'm so sorry kids. I just can't believe that the both of you are already so grown up. I can still remember
when you were just little kids and now, look at you now. The both of you are all grown up." Mrs Greg
uttered tearfully. Aaron sighed exasperated, Alexia rolls her eyes. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Mum I thought you are the one taking me to school. If you keep up with this, I would be very late."
Alexia complained. Her mum would be taking her to school. While her dad, would be taking Aaron to
school.
"Ohh yes, that's true. I wouldn't want you to be late, since we already have an appointments with the
Dean." Her mum said taking her car keys.
"Well... Aaron we should also be on our way. It's a really long drive to your school."r Greg said, he
helped Aaron with one of his luggages, and together they left the house. So did Alexia and her mum.
Alexia placed her bag in the trunk, waved at Aaron, and then got into the car.
Her mum started the car and drove out. So did mr Greg, but the two of them drove in different
directions.
The drive to Alexia's school, was a really long trip, and a very tiring one. Once they got to Alexia's
school, she wasted no time in getting down and buying a bottle of water. She drank the whole thing
down, for her to feel so refreshed again.
"Are you Okay.. or do you want more?." Her mum asked her.
"Mum.. I'm not a fish, or do you want my stomach to get burst." Alexia said frowning.
"No.. I'm just asking. It's a really simple question, do you want more?."
"Ugh. Fine, I don't want more. Can we just head to the Dean's office already." Alexia grumbled really
loudly.
"Yeah.. we can. Let's go. And please behave yourself, do not act funny or put up any kind of attitude.
Allow me to speak to the Dean myself." Her mum warned, as they walked to the Dean's office.
"Yes mum. I promise not to say a single word. My lips are zipped." Alexia said, making a show of
zipping her lips. Mrs Greg rolls her eyes, but nevertheless continued her journey to the Dean's office.
Once they got there, Mrs Greg knocked on the door, "Come in." A voice shouts from inside.
Mrs Greg nervously opens the door, and then both her and Alexia walked into the office.
"I don't want to guess, but you must be Mrs Greg, the lady that called me earlier." The dean, who is
actually a woman said, with a small smile on her face.
Alexia frowned on seeing the Dean is a woman. She hated when a woman is in charge of a school.
They are always naturally so wicked... She thinks.
"Yes, that's me. and this is my, daughter, Alexia Greg." Mrs Greg introduced.
"That's a nice name, Alexia. Well.. it's nice meeting you Alexia. My name is Christina." The Dean said,
shaking hands with Alexia.
"Oh wow.. Christina, that's a really nice name." Mrs Greg said with a warm smile. Alexia didn't need a
soothsayer, to tell her that her mum is warming up to the Dean.
Just like she promised, Alexia didn't say a word. Instead, she allowed her mum to do all the necessary
talking, and when she's asked a question.. she answers.
"Well.. it was nice meeting you Mrs Greg. Be rest assured, that Alexia is in good hands. I will personally
look after her." Dean Christiana assured, shaking hands with Mrs Greg, after their long talk came to an
end.
"Ohh, it's also a pleasure to meet you Christina, and I'm thankful for the assurance. Thank you so
much, and if anything should happen, even the slightest things, please give me a call." Mrs Greg
replied.
"I will." Came Christina reply. Mrs Greg smiled at her, before leaving the office with Alexia.
"Mum, do you really have to do that. Ugh, why do you have to ask her to watch over me. I'm no longer
a kid anymore, neither am I wearing diapers. So.. I don't need to be watched over." Alexia complains,
walking behind her mum.
"To you.. you no longer wear diapers. But to me.. I see you in diapers, and I solely believe that you
need to be watched." Her mum replied her in a casual manner.
Alexia rolls her eyes, her hand crossed on her chest. At that moment, she sighted Jenny. Jenny also
got admission in the same school as Alexia.
"Jenny!!." Alexia yelled. Jenny turns around, and her eyes expand in shock, when she saw her friend.
She rushed towards Alexia, and hugged her really tightly. "Wow, Alexia, what are you doing here?."
Jenny asked he, putting an end to the hug.
"I will be going to this very school, so I cane to settle in." Alexia explained casually.
"Settle in. But I told you last week, that I was excepted into this same very school and I oh didn't say a
word, about getting an admission here also." Jenny mutters frowning.
"Yeah, well.. surprise."
"No surprise. I can't believe we would be going to the same school. Why didn't you tell me that, when
you came to my house last week?."
"That was because, I wanted it to be a surprise. And look. You are indeed surprised." Alexia said
grinning.
"Good morning, Mrs Greg. It's nice meeting you here." Jenny's mum greets.
"Good morning Mrs Williams, it's also nice meeting you here. Alexia never really told me she would be
attending the same school as Jenny."
"Jenny never told me anything as well." Jenny's mum replied.
"That was because I didn't know. But Alexia knew, and kept it a secret. " Jenny uttered frowning.
"But.. like I said, I wanted it to be a good surprised. And weren't you surprised." Alexia said grinning at
her friend.
"I guess I was." Jenny replied her, trying so hard not to smile, but she ended up laughing out instead.
Mrs Williams shakes her head at the kids, then said to Mrs Greg. "What do you think, about going out
for lunch with me."
"That would be lovely. I'm just about taking Alexia to her hostel, maybe once I'm sure she's settled in,
we could go." Mrs Greg replied her.
"Uhm.. Jenny is also heading to that same direction. Maybe the both of them could go together." Mrs
williams suggested.
"I don't think..."
"Mum, I will be fine. It's been really long since you saw her. So I say the both of you should use this
very opportunity to catch up on lost times." Alexia advice, cutting off her mother.
"I guess you are right. Once we are done we could come check on the both of you." Mrs Greg said,
giving in. Then both her and Mrs Williams walked away.
Alexia and Jenny head for the hostel, "So.. what's your room number?." Alexia asked Jenny.
"63. You?."
"Wow, I'm also in room 63. I guess we are roommates." Alexia exclaims excitedly.
"Yup. We are roommates." Jenny said smiling.
The two best friends, got to the hostel, they both searched for room 63, and then found it.
"I guess this is the room. The dean said, it's four girls in one room. I just hope the other roommates
aren't nasty, or something like that." Alexia said.
"I hope so too. I can't live with nasty girls." Jenny replied her, her nose scrunched up in disgust.
"Well... We will never know, if our roommates are nasty or not, if we keep on standing here." Alexia
said, her hands reaching for the doorknob. She turned the knob, and then the both of them walked
inside the room.
The two of them stopped in their tracks, when they laid their eyes, on their so called roommates.
"What are you doing here!." Alexia screamed.
"Well son. I would have to leave now. Good luck on your studies, and do not hesitate to call me. If you
need any help at all." Mr Greg said to his son, patting him on the shoulder.
"Okay dad. Thanks and bye" Aaron said.
Mr Greg smiled at his son one more time, before getting into the car. Once he was fully seated in the
car, he drove off.
Aaron inhale and exhaled, he stared at his room key, and decided to go look for his room. He searched
for the room number, 87. He finally found it, he first of all decided to see if the room is locked or not, by
turning the door knob. And it was indeed locked.
He used his key, and then opens the door. Once the door was opened, he walked inside.
I guess my roommate, isn't around.... He thinks. Staring at the whole room. He was told that he only
had one roommate, and that will explain the two bed.
It looks like his roommate has already settled in, cause his roommates already decorated his own side
of the room. He shaked his head, amused, wondering.. what his roommate would be like.
Aaron decided to have his bath first, before he would settle in. He pulled his clothes, then brings out his
towel from his bag. He got into the bathroom, and had a really long amazing bath.
After the bath, Aaron walked out of the bathroom, in just a towel wrapped around his waist. He got
dressed, and then started arranging his own stuff.
Once he was done with his own stuffs, he laid down on his bed, feeling so bored and at the same time,
wondering when his roommate would be back.
Now, Aaron hates snooping around someone else's stuffs, but since he can't wait for his roommate to
come back before finding out how his roommates looked like, he decided to snoop around. At first, he
didn't find anything useful that could give him a little hint on what his roommates looked like. But he did
get his answers when he found a picture. He picks it up, and then turns the picture. Aaron felt like as if,
a wave of shock just hit him, on just looking at the picture.
At that same very time, the door of the room opened and his roommate walked in. The very first person
that is on his blacklist walks in. The picture fell from his hand.
"You are not my roommates, right?." Aaron asked angrily.
