"It was included in your contract that leave taken for school projects or activities will be considered a paid leave…," "But…," "Every student who has ever worked with me has enjoyed this privilege. I am not being biased towards you because of your title," Mrs Parker who had guessed the reason Joanna was so against the idea defended herself. "You can ask Leah if you don't believe me," Mrs Parker muttered. "Is that true Leah?" Joanna still went ahead and asked even though Mrs Parker had…-

She stood up and walked closer to Joanna. "The sooner you realise just how much power that title holds, none, I mean nobody will have the effrontery to treat you like an ordinary person because nothing about that title is ordinary," Mrs Parker tapped her on the shoulder. She turned to leave but Joanna grabbed her hand. "I understand the point you are trying to make but we don't have enough time to write a play and rehearse it to perfection...," "It doesn't have to be something elaborate. The…

"Hey, and what do you mean by that huh?" Mrs Parker chided her. Leah who was in the process of serving a customer paused and stole a glance at the counter. "I was once a student like you and a very good one at that...," "I didn't mean to insult you neither was it my intention to get you upset...," "I know that so you can chill," Mrs Parker cut in. She sat back on the chair behind her. "So what is it about school that is making you so worried?" Mrs Parker asked a bit calmly this time…

"I kinda support what these two lovely people had said," Derrick said, his index finger pointing at Joanna and Raymond. "Also we have less than a week to come up with something and perfect it. I don't think we have enough time to pick a song, singers, dancers and go through a series of rehearsals to perfect it," Derrick went into more details so he won't be accused of being biased, although he wasn't the type to care about that. "We have given our opinion which I won't say is perfect. If you have a…

"Since you have agreed to participate, shouldn't we get started with the meeting now?... Don't forget we have to leave for our commercial shoot in an hour or two," Derrick intervened when he saw that Raymond had no intentions of quitting his little play with Joanna. "Is he our leader?" Joanna squinted her eyes as she stared at the guy in front of her. "Ye....," "Of course not," Raymond cut in abruptly, his fierce glares shot at the guy who had almost ruined his plans with his reply. "Although I…

If she had guessed that her best friend would get the wrong idea she would have undoubtedly disclosed that her assumption was wrong. It was just too bad she realised that Joanna had the wrong idea late. "I bet she will be able to handle things," Audrey mumbled. She took one last glance at the lady that was almost out of sight before she turned and made her way into the grey building in front of her. At the school's swimming team hall, a lady barged in, almost colliding with a group of ladies who…

"Not really but I overheard Eva disclosing her displeasure of being in the same group as you...," "That annoying girl is in my group!" Joanna remarked with widened eyeballs. "Not only that but I think Sophie and a few other people you had gotten into a fight with happen to be in your group," Audrey broke the news to her. She wasn't surprised to see that the excitement in Joanna's eyes was gone. Even she would have felt the same way if she were in her friend's shoes. Being paired with an enemy can…

"I am sure you would have done worse things to cheer me up if I were in your shoes so stop acting as if you would have ignored me," Audrey asserted. She beamed when she saw the defeated look on Joanna's face. "Since you know how stubborn your friend is I believe it's not a bad thing to admit that you lost to me," Audrey smiled as she reached out her hand and touched Joanna's silky silver hair. From then onwards Joanna didn't speak much, she let Audrey do most of the talking while she quietly got…

"Because of this brat anyone who doesn't know our hierarchy in the family will think Joanna is the legal child while I am the daughter of a mistress and not her...," "And why on Earth would you say that?" Adhara cited. "Because that is how this brat over there makes me feel...," "I have told you not to call him that ever again...," "But it's true he is a brat," Laura snarled, her piercing glares shot at Anthony. "Your brother is just a child and I have told you to be understanding of…

He arrived at this conclusion because Joanna was the one his best friend loves dearly. To him, there were no better qualifications than that. "I believe her anger is justified," Kyle said after a few minutes of silence. "If I were in her shoes I would be furious if my lover avoided me for no reason. I am sure you would have felt the same way too so try to be understanding of her. I am sure this must not be easy for her too," Kyle advised in a soft tone. "I am scared; afraid that Chris' prediction…
