Psalms 29:2  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

   "Look behind you : What have you learned?

Look around you: What is happening to others?

Look above you: What does God expect of you?

Look besides you: What resources are available to you?" ― John C. Maxwell

12:00pm
"Come to the hall guys".
Announced by Alex.

We all matched down to the hotel hall,I could hear some students murmuring, wondering why the principal has us to come.

"Do you know why they call us here?".Maya asked me.
No I don't.

Well spending time with people could change your wrong perception of them. Maya for an example,she's so nice and jovial but have always looked at her like the school arrogant goddess because of the class of girls she mingle with.

.
.
.

The leaves were dancing as the wind blew down from the sky. In the hall we were, there was palpable joy rending the air as
we were waiting  for what the announcement.
Mr Johnson was one of our venerated teachers, and he was standing on the dais, holding a microphone in a bid to give us some pieces of advice that would motivate us.

"So we are here to get the be-a-good-children speech"says Ana.

"As in.Those boring speech" Maya added.

Hmmmm, I muttered.

"The journey just began," he was saying, " you were just an infant, who sucked breast, sometime ago, but now , you're going to be experiencing the reality of life, it may shock you, be ready for it, it may shake you, stand still and don't be weary, it may drain you of your strength, but don't give up, it's only the conquerer that share story not the quitters. In the future, it's either you remember my words and smile or you regret, but my prayer for you is that you smile whenever you remember my words today" he concluded and we all subjected the hall to a place of clapping in appreciation.

There was merriment and lots of prayers from our teachers in the hall , our teachers told us to go down to our respective hotel room with a view to preparing for the imminent celebration which was to hold  later that day.

The joy of graduating the next few hours and saying bye bye to high school was all I could think about. I know you will say poor girl, you're not thinking about the relevant thing which is the future but thinking about irrelevant one right?

Oh! I forgot to tell you something, I was the best silent female student in my set, I was good at Mathematics including those science subjects especially Chemistry, the only subject I hated was History,I love stories but this History of a subject, it bored me, so having a good certificate to prepare for college was not a problem.

We left the hall and departed to our respective rooms, the guys rooms was at the second floor while ours was at the third floor.

"I wanna go work at a bakery store not for the money actually but to learn about all this pastries stuff before getting admission to college " says Maya.

Whoa.. Maya of all people wants  to work.

"What about you pearl?"
Lucia asked.

I'm going to be staying at home to prepare for the next exams.My dad said,he will employ a private tutor to prepare me the next McMaster university scholarship.Then after my admission, I will like to start working after lectures to support my parents, I just hope they will let me.I wouldn't like to call them everytime I need something, just want to be an independent lady.

"Wow!"
They all echoed in unison.

"That's incredible pearl, I mean my mom has always told me about that scholarship and how hard it's. I wish you the very best of luck girl ".

Thanks Maya, I said.

"McMaster scholarship requires lots of study, my cousin applied for the last session admission and he was awarded as one of the scholars for that session.He looks like a patient that have just been diagnosed with a very deadly disease after writing the exam".

We all laughed at what Lucia told us about her cousin.

The poor boy's head almost busted, what a pity, Ana said.

We all chuckled at that.

......
It's 2:30pm,the cool breeze and the flowers scent makes everywhere beautiful. We were all outside,sitting around the pool. I mean the graduating student of the year and our siblings that followed us for the tour.

"I will miss everyone in this set, even though I wasn't that outspoken .Joy thank you for being a great friend and my little maths tutor, you were always there to help me overcome my challenges in maths class,

Anabelle, thanks for the advice you gave me that day at the hall way, you remember right?
I will always remember each and everyone for good.
Pearl, I will never forget our freshman year, when I accidentally hit you and all your books fell,you gave me the most deadly look have ever seen,so funny but along the way, I realized that you weren't that mean like you appeared to be that day,beauty".

Manuel says with a blissful smile.

"Wow!
That was super awesome Manuel".Antonio said.

Well Manuel was one of the students from another department which I'm not sure of.

Anabelle rose up and said
"you are welcome @Manuel. Her face was glowing with a beautiful smile,she's up to something judging with the way she was looking at me, I could perceive it. But what is she up to, the witch saw my curiosity and blew out her made up bomb.
You know what Manuel, according to my analysis, you might end up being  the right guy for this beautiful Precious Pearl.

What! My two eye bulb was as wide as the universe.

The air was filled with laughter from the left to right.

What a perfect way to lighten up everyone's mood Anabelle. I muttered under my breath,
I wasn't really that bad at playing games like Santi always commented.

I stood up and wave away the possibility of getting embarrassed that was boldly showing it's face to me, Pearl you might end up blowing out atomic bomb, my inner self told me I mean the entire students are here not just the science student I schooled with for good four years.Still I stood up and lifted my shoulder with my chin up.

You know what?... Ana.
According to my instincts you might end up being my sister in -law. I said it more dramatic than she presented hers.

My soon to be sister in -law. I repeated it in mockery tone.

"Dios MiO (oh my God)" translated from Spanish, another girl whose name was either Gracia Do Sol or Maria Do Sol says .which ever one it's, I don't care.

Ana face went pale, I just wish I could snap her face and upload it on social media and tag the picture.#Soon to be Daughter in-law of the Martin's family.

The guys wouldn't stop laughing and mocking Santiago.

The guys: Santiago is getting married to an old lady.

The girls: Anabelle is getting married to a kid boy.

They started saying it like a song and giggling.

"Ok that is enough"... Santiago stood up and wave his hand seeking for attention.

Oh no! What have you done? Pearl .If Santi decides to say something, then I'm sure it won't be in my favor, I know my younger brother than anyone else and if there is something he derives pleasure from, then it is upsetting me.

"Pearl why don't you take advantage of this moment to say your mind "

My mind? What does he mean. I swear, my palms are getting wet, I'm sweating like a crazy dog.

"My sister can be very sensitive and shy". Edward
He turned to his left side where
Edward the school play boy was sitting.

"You know despite of being a play boy,you are still lucky to have win my sister's heart. She's very very in love with you.

Oh My God! They all said it so loud and I'm sure the hotel manager will come out soon to sue us for disturbing the peace of their guests.

Santiago! That joke is too expensive.

"Yes sister,where will I get the money to purchase such an expensive joke, confess your feelings. You gat a spark for Edward "

Edward open his disgusting mouth and said. "I'm available babe ".

Don't get your hopes up, player.

"She's gat a temper,right? another guy says.

"I got up and left.I warned you".
My inner self echoing each word to my ear. I hated the fact that, that little speaker ends up right most of the time.
