Chapter 18 - *** the midterms***

 *** We had finished with our midterm tests and I felt confident about my results which would be out after the midterms break. and everyone was already planning to go back home, Stacy and vina were so excited to go back home and I was here I was thinking what to actually do, should I go back home , or go to my uncle's place, I was totally confused at this moment.

 *** I looked up to see bella walk into my room, hi Emily she said, she looked around seeing I wasn't packing my bags, are you not going for the midterms?, I would but, but you know am an orphan so I don't want to return back to my parents empty house.awwn you can come with me , we can have a girl's trip together, we would go over to Monica's place, other girls are coming too, what do you say?, really I can come?, I asked already excited at the thought of a girl's holiday together.

 *** Of course you can Emily, besides the more the merrier, so pack up and meet us at the school gate ,the car would be outside, she said hugging me, I would be going back too to go pack the rest of my stuff, thank you so much bella I really appreciate that.

 *** I just packed a few stuffs and some of my important stuffs, I bid goodbye to vina and Stacy who also excitedly did the same, and took my stuff and headed straight to the school gate, on the way I met bella with another girl, Maya I had seen her around but we never really talked much, we greeted each other and resumed the walk to the school gate, maya bid goodbye to us as we watched her get into her cab, as it drove off , there was already a car there as bella had said, and soon other girls joined us, Monica , Vivian and surprisingly silver, she didn't even look my way, ignore her , bella said from behind me, we all stuffed our load into the car and soon, we got in and drove off.

 *** Bella had told me it was a two hours drive to Monica's place, she had turned on the car's mp and was blasting this loud music that made everyone sing along, I was honestly so happy, as I had always wanted a girl's trip, also Vivian provided snacks and refreshments and we munched on happily, it didn't even take up to the two hours before we arrived at Monica's place because she drove so fast it almost scared the shit out of me at a certain point.

 *** We got down from the car with our loads and I stood before the huge mansion , that I usually saw in movies, it was beautiful but I could tell it was an old house from the way it was designed, I took my luggage inside with the girls, and soon monica showed us to our rooms, I was to share a room with bella, and I loved it alot too, I walked into our room, it was huge and Everything was quite arranged, you guys should wash up later and be downstairs later, soon bella had gone down leaving me alone inside as I unpacked.

 *** Why did you bring her along bella ?, Monica asked me, she said she didn't want to go home ,I don't get why you're angry, am not angry after all I have nothing against her, it just I don't want to have any issue with Dante, his practically obsessed over her, the more reason we should be in her good books, Vivian chipped in, why are you so worried, we can protect her, not that I pray for anything bad to happen, you still don't get me point, Monica said, I just don't want to attract Dante's wrath more especially because silver is here, if she does anything to her while she's under my roof, he wouldn't care about the reason before snapping my neck, don't worry about that , everyone turned to watch silver come over, I won't touch her I promise, she said sounding sincere, you really better don't cause me any trouble else I would be the one snapping your neck instead, Vivian said sounding authoritative.

 *** Since it's settled let's all try as much as possible to have a good holiday, and everyone soon dispersed to their assigned rooms, because of the trip I just washed up and soon retired to bed, while waiting for bella, the next morning I woke up to the pleasant smell of fried eggs, and I walked downstairs to find bella making breakfast, morning sleepy head she called out and I smiled, hi bella, I can see you are making breakfast, are the rest still sleeping I looked around, yes but not much longer am sure, they would be down soon since the scent of my food would do well to assault their nose and right on cue , everyone came down, hi girls I said, and everyone greeted back.

 ***soon breakfast was served, bella had made scrambled eggs and lots of omelet served with fruit juice , the House bell rang, and Vivian went to check who it was, lo and behold I could see four figures step into the house, Dan , Klaus, some guy I didn't know and lastly Dante, as I looked up I stared directly at him, he walked in smiling devilishly, he didn't even bother with the rest of the girls before walking directly up to me, hi Emily he sat down next to me staring intently at me and I couldn't help but blush, you are back, hmm am back he replied, reaching into his pocket he brought out a box, and I curiously looked at him open it to fish out a necklace, it looked beautiful and looked so light, I got something for you.

 *** Do you like it?, he asked worriedly as he awaited my reply, I do it's beautiful I said taking it from him, , I looked down at the necklace, it had a runny pattern and was embedded with two tiny stones at the center, thanks I said smiling at him, he was the first person except my parents to ever give me a gift, turning my chair around, he reached out for the necklace and placed it right around my neck , before turning me back to face him, thanks I said blushing again at the action, remembering the others were around I looked up to find them looking at us , and I blushed further, the food is getting cold kluas said as he sat down, you guys should have mentioned you were coming, bella said grumpily , I didn't make alot for nine people, she said sitting down securing her plate of food away from kluas, oh don't be petty bella, I can see just right , you just so stingy to share you foodie, I was surprised, I hadn't seen Klaus talk this much more surprisingly as he bickered with bella like they were old couples, cute I said silently, what !!, they both said at the same time startling me, enough with the nonsense Dante turned to them, and soon everyone sat down, quietly sharing the breakfast.

 *** Dante turned to me again as I ate , can I take you out on a date Emily?, he said and I almost choked on my food, as I watched him grab the water passing it to me.
