47

It is another brand new day and I feel so excited and eager to know what my classes are going to look like. I woke up extremely early to meet up with my first class of the day. I didn't know what to wear so I disorganised the whole of my room instead, looking for decent cloth to wear.

I ended up wearing a fitted Jean and a crop top and I put on a jean jacket on it so as not to get too cold.

I searched my shoes rack for a matching shoe but turns out I only have heels. I can't possibly wear heels on my first day, can I? I am not going on a fashion parade for crying out loud. Then, it hits me. Bella bought me a snickers canvas for my twenty-second year birthday. Yeah, that is what I will be wearing.

I slide into the canvas and I am impressed with myself. I applied a little make up on so as to not go with my bare face and damn, I love what I see. I went downstairs to have my breakfast before I take my leave.

"Good Morning" I greeted Jenny

"You are looking fabulous, she compliments."

"Thank you"

"How is your brother?" She asks thinking I am dressed to go to the hospital.

"He's all good now and he has been discharged. He can take care of himself now."

"Oh, that's amazing. So where are you going this early, dressed like this?"

"Have you forgotten what day today is?"

"Am I forgetting something?"

"Yeah, classes begins today."

"Oh, my bad. Good luck dear."

"Yeah, thank you."

I prepare cereal for myself since Jenny had not prepared breakfast yet.

Once I was done, I informed Jenny that I would be on my way.

I went upstairs to pick my bag and I met Armani by the entrance of his room.

"Good Morning" I greeted.

"Why are dressed up this early?"

"I am about leaving for school."

"Isn't it a bit too early though?"

"Yeah, but the drive will take about forty five to one hour depending on how busy the road is."

"Wait downstairs then, I will have my driver drop you off."

"I think it will be better if I go alone because of when am coming back." I explained.

"Do you have plans of going elsewhere?"

"Of course not. But then again, he might not be available when am done."

"He will drop you off in the morning and pick you in the evening when you are done until I say otherwise." He said in a dismissing tone.

I know for sure that it is just another way to monitor me but I can deal with that much.

I picked the bag I wanted and went back downstairs to meet the driver already waiting.

The drive was longer than I had expected despite leaving home early, I got to school One hour thirty minutes later.

Well, I am still lucky. I went to get the map of the school so that I can locate the building I'd be receiving lecture in.

I met a lady at the woman's office at it appears that we are going to the same place.

"Hi, I'm Ava. She introduced herself."

"I'm Lila, I said with a smile." Ava and I hit up immediately. She is so hyper which makes me admire her even more. She has an amazing fashion sense and I find myself checking her out, but not without a compliment. "You are really beautiful Ava. And your fashion sense is top notch." I grew up amidst luxury so when I see a classy thing, I identify one immediately. She is tall, slim and curvy. I don't know how she manages to get all those boobs and ass in this tiny body but she has a mad figure. She has the stature of a model and her physique convinced me that she is one.

"Thank you Lila, you don't look bad yourself. Your are just as beautiful."

"Are you a model?" I find myself asking because this hot stature will go to waste if she isn't.

"Yeah" she said smiling. Anyone could tell with the way she stand out.

We talk about random stuff till we get to class and we sat down beside each other.

She is nice, I think she is a keeper.

The first lecture ended faster than I had expected, leaving Ava and I enough to bond before the next class.

Luckily for me, we will be offering the same course for the rest of the semester.

Ava seems to be the chatty one among us. Within the few hours we just met, she has told me almost everything that needs to be known about her. Am surprised that there is still more to talk about.

Apparently, Ava's boyfriend is an art student too but he is in his finals. She was quite popular in the school and I wonder how that is even possible. Turns out she is a popular model and anyone who watch the news regularly will know her.

I am surprised I don't.

When she got tired of talking about herself, she finally asked about me.

"What about you, Lila, are you single? Do you have a boyfriend?" She asked like it wasn't a big deal.

"I am married" I said with a smile. One that is barely reaching my face.

"You are married!" She almost spill her coffee in my face and I laughed at her reaction.

"Yeah, I am married." I confirmed.

"But you are not wearing a ring" she said, observing my fingers. Well, that is because I was sold off not properly wedded, my subconscious mocked.

"I guess I must have forgot it at home" I lied with a straight face.

"But you look so young, how old are you?" I kind of saw that coming so I kept on laughing at her expression.

"I am twenty two"

"Are you madly in love with your husband for you to get married this young? You ought to be enjoying your youth life not performing wifey responsibilities." She said, looking at me pitifully. She doesn't even know about my pitiful life and she already pity me. What a life!

"Hmmm, it was all our parents idea." I half lied.

"I hope he is treating you rightly though, how old is he?"

"Yeah, he is the coolest, I lied through gritted teeth. And he is twenty-seven years."

"I bet he his rich because that is the only reason your parent would let you marry him that early." I laughed at her comments because she is damn right. "Yeah, he is quite famous."

"What is his name?" This girl doesn't seem to give up easily, does she?

"Armani" I said without telling her the last name, sadly, she knows him.

"Armani! As in the same Armani Jones?"

"Yeah" I said with a fake smile.

"But, is he not single?"

"He was until a few months ago."

"Did you guys did elaborate wedding?"

"No, I can't deal publicity." I lied.

"I see... He was with Charlotte, right? Dammit, this girl really knows him.

" Charlotte is merely his PA, I lied."

"No wonder, there was news about how he treated her so badly. He was quite infamous you know?"

"It was all in the past, I stressed out."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to criticise your husband, it's just the news and what Charlotte has told me."

"Are you close with Charlotte?"

"Of course, she is my cousin."

Ah! Am fucked I thought to myself.
