Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE ‘S POV

When I arrived at school the next day with my mother, we walked straight to class, and she handed me over to my classroom teacher.

After my previous incident, mum decided she would had enough of my drama and would bring me to school and collect me up every day after I closed even though it would be tough for her because she would have to come from work every day to pick me up and we would both head back to her office where I would wait until she closed before we went home together. She was determined not to allow me out of her sight for anything other than school.

It would not be an easy approach, but I had no option because Mummy was scared of anything happening to me and had decided to keep a watch on me since my previous adventure.

“Selene is naughty.” I could hear some of my class mates whispering to the others as I stepped in. The news of my escapade had gone around school and almost everyone was talking about it.

Xavier, my best buddy, had approached me to speak with me, but I ignored him, and nearly immediately our class teacher entered and he departed for his seat.

“The principal wants you in his office right now.” My instructor stated as she entered the classroom. There were murmuring and gigging around the class when I stood up to leave. The Principal had just summoned me, and my mind raced with possibilities regarding my antics from the day before. I left to meet him in his office and everyone stared as I left.

“I assume they are all thinking the worst of me.” I stated as I left to speak with the principal.

“Sir, you asked for me.” I mouthed upon entering his office, he motioned for me to have a seat and looked at me intently for a considerable amount of time before responding. He spoke after some time with a scrowl on his face.

“Why did you leave school and run off with a stranger?” He responded eventually and I did not respond to his query; I simply looked at him blankly ignoring him even though i could see his apparent irritation at my silence.

“You need to say something, Selene, you have had two strikes in one week and with another you would have to face the disciplinary committee.” He inquired again, enraged. When he saw I was not going to talk, he sent me out of his office, but not before penalising me for my misbehaviour.

I knew the implications of what I did and that my scholarship would be threatened.

“You would be in detention during recess for today.” He replied, dismissing me.” I hope you learn your lesson, this should teach you to follow the rules and not run off with strangers.”. I left for my classroom, irritated by what had transpired but with no remorse. Thanks to my misadventures, Mummy had found a husband.

The bell rang and it was time for recess i packed my stuff’s and headed to detention. Xavier tried to talk to me again as he caught up with me in the hallway, he was headed for the Cafeteria to have lunch.

” Hey Selene, how are you doing?” Xavier called out for me as he approached me trying to get my attention, I stopped and we walked down the hallway together.

” I am fine Xavier, how are you? I asked and he replied that he was fine too. As we strolled along, he questioned again as he noticed I wasn’t my usual self.

“Is anything wrong? You avoided conversation with me during today’s lesson. He seemed concerned about me as he talked in a troubled tone. I pause, turning to look and snapped at him.

“Let me be Xavier; I said I was alright.” I shouted at him, and everyone turned to stare at us. The quiet mood permeated the entire room, and I realised what I had done. Soon after, everyone carried on with their activities, and I apologised.

” I am sorry” I said and tried to walk again. I guess I was paranoid about detention and overreacted. Xavier did not seem angry and said it was fine. He asked that we go eat together.

” Let go to the cafeteria; I am famished.” He said as we walked along and I told him that I was not going to the cafeteria since I was being punished. He gave me a knowing look as he obviously knew the reason why. He breath deeply and sighed as he asked what I wanted to eat. I told him and He volunteered to grab me lunch and meet me in detention.

Xavier arrived with lunch and stayed with me till recess was over. We had finished lunch and talk for a while before the bell rang. I was grateful for Xavier and soon we were on our way to class when we saw Davis, he was my class mate but was known for his bullying. Soon enough he was tagged the class bully.

” Hey Selene, i imagine you would not go home with strangers anymore.” Davis teased and pushed me as he neared us, and Xavier tried to stand up to him, but I pulled him back and told him not to worry.

” I guess I would if you all learn to mind your own business, I remarked, as Xavier and I walked back into the classroom.

When school was over, Xavier and I came out of our classes, his driver had come to pick him up and even though he wanted to stay till mum arrived and told him not to bother and so he left and while I was waiting for mum I saw Uncle Karl at my school.

” Uncle Karl!! I called out for him and ran to embrace him. He hugged me and I asked him why he was at our school.

My school teacher who had eyes on me as instructed by my mum questioned me as she followed me to where uncle Karl was about who he was and I told her he was my father. She hesitated as she stared as us suspiciously. Eventually she left to attend to other things.

” Why are you at my school Uncle Karl?” I said still in his embrace. He told me he had come to pick up his son. Soon after Davis walked towards us and I wondered why he was headed to out direction.

” Hey Dad” he said as he approached us and I wondered who he was referring to as his father. As he got to us, Karl smiled and hugged him and turned to introduce him to me.

” I hoped this is not what I am thinking.” I muttered to myself as Davis turned to face me mildly mocking me again.

” Davis meet Selene, she is a little friend of mine” he said as he turned Davis so we could greet one another. I suddenly realized Davis was his son.

” Not Davis!!!” I muttered not wanting to believe that mummy’s new husband had a bully son who happened to be in the same school as me.

” Did you say something?” Uncle Karl asked as he heard me when I muttered inaudibly.

“No, I did not,” I said as we walked to the car together. I just ignored it and held hands with Uncle Karl as Davis pulled a grimace to express his disgrace.

Soon after, Uncle Karl inquired what we wanted, we went to an ice cream shop together. Davis was appalled by Uncle Karl’s treatment of me and gave me a disgusted look when we purchased ice cream. He seemed annoyed that I was friends with his dad but that did not bothered me.

I was confident that mummy would be pleased with Uncle Karl, and that was enough. Davis was not important as far as I was concerned.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Uncle Karl had volunteered to drive me home, but he opted to take me back to school when I informed him my mother would have arrived and would be waiting for me.

As we returned we met mummy yelling at the entrance of my class

Mummy!!! I called out for her as I ran to meet up with her.
