★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
ISLA and her friends sat round a table as Tricia the eldest amongst the friends operated her tab, it's been like forever they have been searching for college to attend and trying to register online but every attempt always seem abortive, no school approved them and once summer ends, their school hunt is gonna end because online registration is gonna end, they kept on thanking their stars because the cops Haven't found out that they ain't schooling if not they would have been jailed.
"Isla you caused all this mess and now we are all stuck at home, I am fucking sick and tired of being rejected because of you, you really need to solve your problems and free us from this bondage" Remy sounded rather sad as Isla's jaw dropped in shock due to what she said.
Was she really blaming her now?, Lots of hurting stuffs went through Isla's mind as her eyes turned red and smudgy in tears, she blinked it back not wanting it to drop down, she couldn't imagine herself being a weakling expecially to her fellow bitch.
Tricia was equally shocked at clumsy Remy's speech as she looked at Isla and then back at Remy; it was really shocking to hear such thing from Remy, Remy of all girls, Because Remy isn't known for bladder mouthing rather Tricia is, she's just a calm clumsy Remy.
"Really… Remy did you just blame Isla for our plight?, That was really bad of you!, Like seriously you should be bent on helping out in this issue and not to put blames on nobody, have you forgotten that this house belongs to Isla's parents which she inherited and we are just squatting here, she can send us out anytime at all" Tricia said really crossed as Isla tapped her gently on her shoulder.
"Common Tricia?… I can't send you girls out of my house for no reason, you girls are my only family now and the last thing I can ever think of is is sending you girls away… in anyways Remy is absolutely right and I am sincerely sorry for everything I am causing you guys" Isla said bitterly as a droplet of tears escaped her eyes, she quickly ran to her room to let out the awaiting tears.
Indeed Remy was correct!, She couldn't tell if she was cursed or something close to that because ever since parents went to the stars after a terrible automobile accident everyone in Nashville had the news that she was the one behind the accident, all they kept on spreading was that she killed them to own the properties hence her parents where stinking rich, her dad owned numerous hotels in Nashville and many other cities and her mom owned the best flower shop in America as a whole.
But how could they think a young girl of ten could think of owning properties?… How can she kill her only companion in the whole world just because of some kinda wealth that she knows that is already hers, not like she was in the car that day… she was at home with her nanny when her parents went for groceries shopping together, but the whole city of Nashville ended up putting the blame on her.
She started receiving hard times and emotional torture at that little age of ten, she was imprisoned at that age and stayed captive for full six years just by the help of her family lawyer if not she would have stayed for 10 years.
She came back from the prison at the age of sixteen and that was when she met Tricia and Remy at the street as hawkers, sex hawkers to be precise.
Ever since she was released from the prison, no school accepted her because they all thought she's a murderer and that shit affected her friends because they lived with her, she would always wonder how they came to know about her friends or are they monitoring her?.
Her only happiness was that their family lawyer is a sincere man and he made sure that she got all that belongs to her because her parents already willed everything to her when she was a year old.
All she wished was that her parents could just resurrect and then schools will accept her and her friends.
All this school and city hatred for was becoming too much and a concern to her, it was driving her crazy each day.
She can't even go to a mall without masking her face neither can she order online, it was that horrible.
Just between her endless thoughts a knock came on the door…
"It's opened!" She called out as the door cracked open as Remy clumsily popped in her head first and then came in.
"Isla I really am sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier, please pardon my manners, I don't know what came over me" Remy pleaded as Isla let out a slight smile.
"Look Remy… You don't really have to beg you know?, You where right, anyone in your shoes will do same, so I don't blame you… I understand that you just want things to be set right" Isla said as she signed.
"Yeah… we really need to start schooling like other teenagers, you are eighteen Isla and I am nineteen so we need to go to school before we turn dummies or get caught by the cops" Remy said.
"I know right?"
"Oh yass we know!"
Tricia said as they turned to her direction seeing her looking really excited that they wondered what news she had for them all… her full attention was all on her tab.
Tricia is an internet freak, like it seems she knows the last room in Google if there is any!, Tricia is super intelligent… like her brain is rare.
"Guess what girls!?" Tricia said excitedly as she sat on Isla little couch.
"What's up… spill it out girl!" Remy said
"Finally we have been accepted in a college!… A good one at that!!, But it is not known to the public"
What a bobble busting news Tricia got there!!
"O.M.G!! This is huge, Tricia are you serious?" Isla asked amazed.
"Oh yes… just take a look at this"
Tricia said bringing the tab close to them as they surrounded it to read the acceptance letter together.
"Dear Miss Tricia Atticus, Isla Enid, and Remy Louise you have been officially accepted as a…"
