Zoella arrived home to meet her parents at home. They were surprised to see her at that kind of time.
"Princess, what happen to you? Why are you home this early." Mr Jones asked.
"I was expell from school ". She said bluntly and they gasped.
"And you are proud of it. Tell me, what you did you do this time around?" Mrs Jones asked trying not to loose her mind.
"I stole the proprietor's laptop and his two phones, then the teachers also report that it is not my first time doing such things. I was expelled and the principal made it clear to me that there's no point in begging ". She explained confidently.
"Why did you stole the proprietor's laptop when you have more than two in your room. Why are you doing this to us?" Mr Jones retorted in somber tone.
"Like I knew when it happened!" She hissed frustratedly.
"Then we'll have to enroll you in another school. As you know you're in final year and I don't want anything that will terminate your education." Mrs Jones said.
"As I am, I don't want to go to any school now because they will still expelled me. Mom, Dad I'm tired of life already." She said and went upstairs.
"This is not my daughter. She has been possessed." Mrs Jones cried placing her head on her husband's lap as he console her.
Zoella became worse as day goes by, she thought staying alone at home was the only thing that can stop her from stealing. Whenever she went out she would stole one things or the other, even a common paper and she never brought it home with her because she won't know where it was. All she knew was she stole and where is it __-- boom she won't remember.
One sunny day after they came back from church. Mrs Jones asked her if she can accompanied her to the mall. She agreed but on the other hand she felt a little bit reluctant because she would not want to disgrace her mother.
They arrived at the mall and they started picking what they want. Zoella sighted a beautiful gown and quickly went toward it, she picked it and hide it beneath her blouse unknown to her mother. One of the attendant saw this and walked to her.
"Madam what are you doing?" He asked referring to the clothes she hide under her blouse.
"Ain't a thief". She replied.
"I don't call you a thief but what did you hide there." The man shouted pointing at her bump stomach. They started to create a scene. People started moving there and it caught the attention of Marissa ( Zoella's mom) she walked towards her daughter. She already knew what is happening so, she thought of what to do.
She moved to where her daughter was and pulled the dress out of her blouse and everyone gasped.
"I'm sorry, that is how she always does whenever she buy a new dress, she will be so excited that she will be doing rubbish things." Marissa defend her and everyone mouthed " oh"
Soon, everything was captured because someone people video the scene.
**THE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF GREAT FASHIONISTA WAS CAUGHT WITH A DRESS IN HER BLOUSE BUT HER MOTHER (MARISSA J ENTERPRISES) MAKE IT CLEAR THAT SHE ALWAYS DOES THAT WHENEVER SHE BUY A NEW THINGS.....***
Mr Jones clicked on the comment section as he felt bad that her daughter steal in the midst of people. It had 5.7k view and 4.1k comment.
"Such a childish" "she is so cute" "what a funny kid" "what kind of teen is this abeg."
Mr Jones felt a little bit better as no one dropped abusive comment. He also advised his wife not to took Zoella out anymore. She would have spoiled their name if not because of her smartness.
Zoella's friends were sick worried about their friend. She has not been coming to school since two weeks and her line was not going through. Their school also lost the highlight competition because Zoella was not there to save them out of unexpected questions. They now realized the absence of her in the school.
Harsha and Emmaline decided to pay her a visit one Friday after school. The securities let them in because it was not their first time, all those times Zoella received suspension letter, they were the one who will come to her and taught her what they learn in school but unknown to her parent because they were always at work.
They knocked on the door and Mrs Jones ushered them in.
"Good afternoon ma, we are here to see Zoella." Said Harsha politely.
"Is there a problem or something you wanna discuss with her?" Mr Jones who was reading newspaper entered.
"No.... it is just that it has been a while since she came to school and we are worry about her. She told us two weeks ago that she was ill and need to go home, ever since that day we've not heard from her. Her is not going through." Emmaline said non-stop and the both spouse sighed in discomfort.
"Is there anything we do not know, tell us please.? " Emmaline pleaded.
I don't think she wanna see anybody in this moment. Maybe you should come next week." Mrs Jones said.
They heard footsteps from the stairs and they looked up to see Zoe with swollen face. They rushed to her and hugged her.
"How is your body Zoe, hope you are not feeling cold? Please tell us you are fine" Harsha rushed and she smiled faintly.
"I'm fine and I'm sorry for not telling you this since, despite how close we are. I was expelled from school". Zoella said.
"Whaaaaaat"! They exclaimed in sadness.
After they spent some hours with her they left to their various houses...
