Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by alabig(m): 11:46pm On Mar 16, 2015
That very moment when you thought you have been on top of the world and you were easily flawed by pride. Serena will spend another year at home or runaway from admitting verbal humilation from steph.

If i had a frnd like Seph, walahi life go tire her cus i'll so frustrate her life that even if she scored 400 she wldnt hv d guts 2 inform me abt it.
as for Anita, lemme nt say anytin yet... or lemme say smtin little; her foolishness keeps upgrading

__________________________________________

Serena was lying on the floor in her semi dark room. The time was 6:5pm and for the last two hours, after her encounter with her angry father, she had restricted herself to her room. Afterall, she had succeeded in getting the word 'disappointment' out of her father's mouth for the third time in two weeks. She wanted to tell her father she was sorry, but what was she sorry about? She couldn't tell. Even though she wanted to beg her father, she still couldn't bring herself to do it, she just stood defiantly in front of him and cried inside without shedding a single tear. But all hell was let loose when she entered her room. That moment, she realised the implication of scoring 191 in UTME exam. Another extra year.
Her mind drifted back to Stephanie's call, how would she handle the news of her failure? She would definitely mock her and make life hell for her, but that is if she told her her score. But knowing Stephanie, she could go any length to get a glimpse of her score.
The door creaked and the next second, even though everywhere was getting dark, she could still make out Dave's figure as he walked in, using his phone backlight as torch.
"Serena." He called as he got to her empty bed.
"I am here." Serena replied weakly.
He walked to the side of the bed, bent down, held her two hands and helped her up.
"Are you okay?" He asked her made her sit on the bed.
"Am fine." She replied with a weak smiled.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Uhnn uhnnn." Her voice threatened to break but she held her breathe.
After almost a minute of silence, he spoke again. Probably he was searching for the right words to use at the moment.
"Dad told me about you score. How did you do it? What happened?" He asked, the cocern evident in her voice. Even though they weren't close siblings, Serena still felt the sadness in his voice.
"I don't know what went wrong." She replied.
Silence enveloped the room for another minute before he spoke again.
"Except the exam body made use of bad computer, I don't believe this is your score. I mean, for the last two months, you are always at home 24/7. Tell me, who do you do while at home? Eat and sleep? If you had prepared very well, you should at least make the benchmark of two hundred. One hundred and ninety one is nothing to write home about. And you know dad will never settle for the less."
she has been expecting this, she knew he would definitely yab her and put the blame on her.
"There is no point repeating what dad had already told me, I know I failed because I didn't prepare. Lets talk about something else." She thought.
And as if he could read her mind, he expertly changed the topic.
"So, what do you intend to do now? I mean, UI won't accept anything less than two hundred. Do you plan purchasing the change of institution form or what?" He asked.
"I know UI is out of it. I think I will just purchase Ede polytechnic form and hope for the best." She replied.
"Are you just knowing dad? He won't give you a kobo to purchase the form. If its anything short of the University, forget it. He won't even support your going to a state university." Dave replied.
"But no fedral university in the South west will take below two hundred." She added sadly.
"I'll talk to Nathan, I think there are some one hundred and ninety courses in Unilorin. At least last year, there was. Hopefully, there will be this year too, but first, you need to do a change of course." Dave explained. "But don't put your hopes so high, Dad might not buy the idea of going for a change of course, he wants you to spend that extra year at home. And he won't let you go to a private Uni either. Just pray that he accepts, I will talk to him. There is no way you are spending an extra year at home."
Serena looked at her brother searchingly, for the first time, he wasn't on their father's side.
"Thank you bro." She said with a smiled.
"Don't thank me yet. Pray he accepts and bear it in mind that you deserve a spank for not getting two hundred at least." He said with asmile.
Like seriously, Dave is making jokes? She asked herself.
Five minutes later he left her room and she was once again back with her thoughts.
Will he let me take the change of institution form? Will he support a change in my course? What will Stephanie say if she hear about my score? Were the question on her mind as she drifted into sleep.

Re: The Thomas....(a Family) by JojoBlue(f): 4:43pm On Mar 17, 2015
Serena sorry oo, pele. This kind of thing can pain very well oo.


But I just can't help thinking Stephanie is involved in this cos she and Serena were still best buddies when she registered for the exam. So she must have known she used her Dad's number...hmm.. ..
