ALISHA'S P.O.V

"Alisha, Alisha Brown, please report to the principals office." Miss Gayle's voice came through the speakers. Again.

That was the third freaking time she's called my name and I was already up the flight of stairs. When I say stairs, I mean like two hundred of them. Stairs are exhausting .

Why cant they just install an elevator? I mean now that would be great.

Cheapskates...

Aaaand... I made it!

As I was walking on the corridor,I was mentally congratulating myself for making it through all those stairs.

I wasn't at all fit like the other girls and I mean I wasn't blessed with a drop dead gorgeous body but I'll take what I could get .

I've only been to the gym once i n my life and trust me,after all the body aches, hell no I am not doing it again.

If I wanted to loose weight,which I didn't I would rather go through less painful methods or better still,let the weight loose me.

One of the two was going to happen someday, and I could bet my ass that the weight was loosing me. I was taller than most people I knew or rather saw around.

I had long legs and a slightly shorter torso. I was a glorious 5'9 inches, I was also curvy and slightly overweight for sixteen year old.

I had long golden brown hair that sculpted my face perfectly.

My eyes were green, my lips pink and full. My parents were Canadian and Nigerian so as a result I was a light skinned half caste.

Wow, this was along corridor but I finally made it in front of the office and knocked.

"Come in!"I entered her office.

"Good morning Ms Gayle,you wanted to see me?"

"Yes."she said in her high pitched voice with a smile on her face .

"Sit down."she said gesturing to arm chair in front of her table and I did.

I always liked Ms Gayle. She was a middle aged lady probably in her late twenties or early thirties.

She was tall, slender, had mid length black hair that reflected the light that shone on it, very nice brown eyes, slender lips and was currently in an ash crisp two piece suit.

She was smiling at me and I felt a little bit uncomfortable and cleared my throat to get her attention .

"Lets get to business then,shall we?"
I nodded. "I am pleased to inform you, you and another very lucky student have been selected to participate in the psychology seminar and competition taking place next year.

You will have to be prepared because I am confident that you two will evolve to the final round,then it's a face off competition between the two of you. I will also have this discussion with the other student as well.

You will be more informed as the days go by." She said

I nodded.

"You got this opportunity because of your outstanding performance since you joined Winston high. Just a little tip off, the winner of the competition will win a free college scholarship to study psychology at Oxblood college.

This is a huge opportunity so don't miss it."

"Thank you ma'am. I'll try my best."
She nodded and said I could leave. I left keeping what she said in mind.

Walking the same long corridor, then I heard the bell ring.

Walking faster, I hissed,cursing under my breath trying to get to my locker to grab my books. Stupid mother fucking bell.

Couldn't you just wait for me to get to class first.

*****

I got to my first class of the day, Physics.

I just sat there and did what I always did in class, sat down to take notes.

The class just went on and on and on. Mr Ahmed was talking about quantum physics,threshold frequency work function and the rest.

I really couldn't believe it.

Oxblood was one of the most prestigious colleges around and I had a chance at a scholarship, not that I couldn't afford it but it just felt good.

It would have been much better if I could actually share the news with people but sadly, I had no one to talk to. No best friend and no parents with me either.

The class was over and I was about to leave when my books fell on the floor and I bent over to get them when the shapely leg of a very slim person step on them.

Sadly, I knew who it was without even before looking up to confirm my thoughts.
