Alarm rings, Lily got up, turn off the alarm and sprang up from the bed, walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a bath. In the bathroom, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and caressed her cheek recalling Alex's touch and blushed hard. She slapped and scolded herself " snap out of it!", she took her brush and started to brush her teeth, she recalled his smile again and blushed. "What the hell!", she slapped and scolded herself again, raised her mouth filled with toothpaste foam and splashed some water on her face to ease the redness that spread across her tender cheeks. Lily undressed herself and walked into the shower and took a warm bath, she walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and clean, carefully tucked in a white bathrobe, she strode to the mirror beside the closet checked out herself, feeling satisfied , she rummage through her closet and brought out a miniskirt, a bandea top, a denim jacket and a pair of snicker. She carefully blowdryed her hair and put it up in a bun, she applied only liptint on her full and plump lips making her tender face to look very fresh. She grabbed her bag and headed down the stairs walked into the kitchen to have her breakfast, Lily greeted her family warmly and sat down to have her breakfast.
"You kids should be home very early today", Mrs. Hart said while mixing the waffle batter.
"Why?" Lily asked with a muffled due to her consumption of waffle.
"'cause we have important guests coming over for dinner", their mother replied.
"Guests? Who are they?", Johnny asked with a puzzled look.
"You will find out during dinner", Mr. Hart replied this time without lifting up his head while eating.
"Mom, who are they?", Lily asked again while pouting.
"Don't worry during dinner you will, okay", Mrs. Hart said and chukled.
She was kept in suspense because she was curious about the people coming over, she brushed it off and quickly gobbled her breakfast, grabbed her bag and set for school.
"Bye, mom", she said her fare well to her mom.
"Bye, dad", she added.
"Wait! let me drop you off to school", Mr. Hart said, hurridly finished his breakfast, kissed his wife and grabbed his car keys.
IN THE CAR
"Are you doing alright in school honey?", Her dad asked feeling concerned while starting the car.
"Yeah, am doing great, you dont need to worry about me", Lily said with a smile.
"Its just that I feel guilty for making you go through all these, I am sorry", Mr. Hart said feeling very sorry.
The Harts had always lived in x city, Mr. and Mrs. Hart got married in x city and had their kids there and have very good jobs that anyone could wish for.Their kids were performing excellently at home and at school, they love their children very much.They were always envied by their neighbors. but that doesn't stop them from being nice and contributing to the community development. This all changed when Mr. Hart was promoted at his work which led to his transfer from X city to S city, he had to take his family along with him because his promotion covered his family's expenses including acomodation In S city. It was a sweet bitter experience especially for the kids because they were happy for him for being promoted while on the other side they were unhappy because they will have to leave their schools and friends behind and had to start afresh in a new and unfamiliar environment. This baffles the kids so much but they were still happy for their parents, their father had suggested that he should only relocate to The S city alone while the others should stay back because he knew how unhappy the kids were, the kids refused vehemently because it would be hard for their parent to be in contact with each other all the time and they knew how their parents love one another so much thay they couldn't bear to be parted for so long, Lily and Johnny didn't want their selfish act to be an obstacle for their parent, they eliminated those thought and decided to give it a try and to their suprise they actually love it in S city, it was way better than they expected, they made new friends and they are very warm and nice, they were even way better than their so called friends they had in X city.
"Dad, I have told you several times that we are fine", she reassured her dad with a warm smile.
"I know, but it doesn't make me feel better that you had to ditch all what you love in coming here", he replied with a sad ssmile.
"It fine, I actually like it better here" she added, removed her phone from her bag and texting Beatrix.
Her dad peeked a glance at her, cleared his throat and asked "what about you and Ian?".
Her finger froze while texting, the question made her heart skip a beat, "We are not together anymore, dad", she said with her voice feeling a little dejected.
"What happened?", her father asked worriedly.
"Nothing, its just the moving and the long distance thing isn't going to work, so we just ended it there",she said casually without batting an eye lid.
"I am really sorry about that", He said again guiltily.
In no time they arrive at school and Mr.Hart pulled over at the school gate, unlock the door and gestured her to go, She hugged him and said" see you later, dad".
She got down from the car, slam the door and her dad drove while she waved and smiled at him.
Lily walked into the hallway, she got a glimpse of the twins(Martha And Marcel), strode to their side and greeted them.
"Hey, guys!", Lily greeted them.
"Hey", they replied in unison.
"Where is Beatrix", Lily asked, looking around the hallway.
" oh, about that, she's giving a tour for a new student", Martha answered.
"A new student?", Lily said again while scratching her nose.
"Ye- oh here she comes",Martha said while pointing to Beatrix and a guy coming from afar.
Lily traced Martha's hand and she cant believe who it was,'Oh God, is that who I think it is' she thought while her heart starts to beat faster and her breathing getting heavier.
