Zoella Jones was a beautiful and attractive girl of 16years old. She stood in front of the mirror staring at herself and her school uniform. She was not only beautiful but also brilliant and intelligent.
She had many friends in school who also wish they were as brilliant as her. She moved to her school bag and check out if her books was set accordingly.
” Zoe be snappy. Breakfast is ready” her mother shouted from her room’s door step.
“Mom, I will be there in a minute.” She said place her bag over her shoulder.
Mr and Mrs Jones were already sitted waiting for their only child to join them for breakfast.
“Dad and mom good morning” she greeted and gave her dad a side hug before sitting down beside him.
“Let’s pray before we eat. In Jesus name, our heavenly father we thank you for this food, for giving us the opportunity to eat this morning and provide for those who have nothing to eat.” Mrs Jones prayed and others says amen.
” Mom why did you always pray for those who have nothing to eat” Zoella asked
” because it is good to pray for your neighbour. So blessings of God will continue to rain on you both.” Mrs Jones replied and Zoella nodded in agreement.
Minutes later the breakfast was over. Zoella bid her both parent goodbye before walking out of the house to her driver who has been waiting for her .
” Good morning ma’am ” the chauffeur greeted.
“Good morning sir, I’m sorry I keep you waiting” she apologize before entering the car.
They got to school and the driver parked at the garage. Zoella came out of the car and walked to her class. She attended Marina high school, the school attended by only Rich kids, the poor kids there were few. Zoella’ s parents were not the richest in the city but they were popular and famous.
She entered the class and everyone started hailing her.
Zoe baby… Zoella . She just smiled and waved at them.
One of the girls keaira moved to her and smiled.
“Ella you look good this morning” keaira complimented.
“Thanks. You are not looking bad either”. Zoella smiled.
“Hmm Zoe have you done your homework. It’s too difficult to solve, please give me your notes I want to copy it” She pleaded.
“I can’t give my note to you. I will teach you how to do it so, next time you will know how to solve it by yourself. Bring your note let me teach you.” Zoella said and keaira reached for her note and stretch it to her.
“Here” she also stretch out a soft drink to her but she rejected it saying it is not good to collect price from someone who you help.
“Ella come on it is not like I want to pay you but I just … I mean I just want to give you as a friend so, stop rejecting. It pain me when someone reject something I give them
It makes me feel dejected”; keaira said pretending like she wanna cry.
” oh sorry for making you feel bad” Zoella said and collected the drink and put it in her bag.
It was lunch time already and everyone had gone to the cafeteria remaining only Zoella trying to work on some questions. She stood up and was about to go to the cafeteria when she remembered the drink keaira gave her in the morning. She sat back on her desk and brought out the drink and shook it . She thought for a while.
“Something is fishy about this keaira reconciliation with me, though I’m not fighting with her. I don’t know why she hate me so much
Should I just drink this or throw it away ” she inwardly staring at the drink her hand.
She finally decided to drink it after many thoughts. She opened the and gulped down everything.
“I don’t need to go to the cafeteria anymore, that serve for lunch ” she said and held her pen to continue the workings but she can’t as she felt unbearable pain in her stomach. She groaned and fell on the floor……..
