Lydia(x) hopped down from the car happily and Vicky pecked her. Vicky noticed the over joyous and bubbling spirit of Lydia(x) but can’t say what made her that happy

“Did you win a lottery or something” he asked

“Nothing Dad, I am okay; byeee” she shouted and run off to the assembly ground. How will she explain to her Dad that she has a crush on some new guy in their class,  he wouldn't waste time in reminding her that she is still a young girl.

She stood in line and adjusts her skirt looking around to know if she can spot him . She looked to her left and found him standing in line, his uniform neat and well pressed as usual, with his hands tucked neatly inside pocket.

Throughout the assembly time she heard nothing of what the principal said, she spent all her time looking and smiling towards him.

During classes she was glad to find out he finally settled his locker in front of her, giving her full view of him.

“Concentrate in class or the teacher will ask you questions” the neighbor said nibbling her.

Feeling embarrassed she said nothing but to bend over her book and flip them all through; she will definitely try to be friends with him before thinking of other things. First things first, she raised her eyes and met her neighbor staring at her.

“What” she asked sharply ready to defend herself

“uhhhmmm, nothing” the neighbor said in defence

After some time not able to hold the gist about the guy, she is sure Lydia(x) is ogling at; she bent slightly to her ear “I heard he is royal, rich and arrogant; many girls are already after him so stop day dreaming”

More embarrassed, Lydia(x) straightened herself “who said I like him” she states putting an end to the conversation.

She listened attentively to the teacher but deep inside her, she is saddened that her crush happens to be so many girls crush

. She stole a one time glance at him “they will definitely be friends but she will make him come to her” she smiled but averted her eyes immediately as he turned and their eyes clicked.

At break time she hurried out with her friend immediately to the lunch canteen, she couldn’t stop herself from blushing and doesn’t want to be embarrassed.

*** Stanley walked out from the classroom and saw the girl staring at him earlier in class standing in front of “A” class. Amused although conversant with the way girls stare at him. He likes teasing them, putting on his best smile; he puts his hands into his pocket and walked towards her.

He expected her to smile or blush even faint on seeing him standing beside her but he stood there for ten minutes but she neither talked nor stopped reading the book in her hand.

Disappointed and angry that this is the first time a girl is totally ignoring him not to talk of the one staring at him not long ago in the class. He made to turn but on second thought he turned with fury and snatched the book ruefully from her hands.

Lydia(n) who had been hearing all sort of things about the guy standing beside her made no effort to collect the book back form him. He might be rich but she doesn’t tolerate nonsense from any guy. She wonders what connections they have in the first place for him to dare stand before her.

“I am talking to you and you have the effrontery to ignore me” Stanley says half shouting and pushed Lydia(n).

Pushed to the wall and out of impulse, she gave him a dirty hot slap and snatched her book back from him “next time mind how you treat ladies” she snapped and walked out on him.

Stanley held his chin in pain, refusing to be defeated rushed to retaliate but the other guys that gathered around pacifying him not to fight with a girl.

Lydia(n) gave him a deadly stare, hissed and walked out to cool off.

Stanley broke off and marched angrily to the principal’s office “his father sponsors everything in this school and for that anybody that dared slap him must bow down to him”

Before he could reach the principals office, news have reached his ears, so as Stanley burst into his office he knew that to save his face and the school he has to take action against the girl that dared slap their golden boy.

“but I heard he caused the fight first” the class form teacher says in a hush tone as they walk behind him to handle the case

“we already know how arrogant he is, all rich kids are that way; if we don’t handle this very well his father will withdraw his support and we cant afford to loose him or the standard of our school will drop drastically; I bet you don’t want that” the principal replied back and the class teacher nods.

Lydia(x) heard what happened and rushed over to meet Lydia(n) whom she considers as a sister since most people always comment on their  look alike nature and strange enough they bear same name.

Knowing the kind of person Lydia(n) is, she knows that she doesn’t take rubbish but this time around she ruined her chances of ever being with Stanley.

“what actually happened” she asked on sighting her sitting in the cafeteria

Lydia(n) hissed “don’t mind that guy, because he thinks he is rich, everybody should run away from this school”

Lydia(x) grinned “so you actually slapped him”

“yes, maybe that will calm him down”

Lydia(x) looked at her look alike admiring her courage “you know Dad have always wanted to see this friend I always talked about”

Lydia(n) smiled acknowledging her words.

Read " Jamila " by the same author ( Celestina Oranye )

. They both stood up immediately on sighting the principal and his entourage

“good afternoon sir” the chorused

The principal ignored their greeting “point the person that slapped you” came his baritone voice

Stanley stepped out from the principals back and Lydia(n) frowned her face. Stanley stood there confused cus he couldn’t identify the one that slapped him. He was surprised that the two girls can look alike but he was afraid to point especially with the cold stare they gave him. 

The form teacher noticing how hard it is for Stanley to point who slapped him whispered to the principal. He cleared his throat “to avoid punishing the wrong person, among the two of you who slapped him”

The two girls looked at themselves and kept mute.

“seeing that none of you is willing to talk, walk to my office and wait for me; your parents will be here shortly”

‘yes sir” they responded and walked ahead of them

“did you see the look of defeat on his face; you should have given him a punch instead” Lydia(x) whispered happily demonstrating the punch while Lydia(n) giggled.

Vicky drove into the compound and parked his car. He was just coming back from his session with the doctor and he is feeling so depressed.

He slammed the door and locked it, on reaching the sitting room, he saw Stacy wearing a lingerie sitting down s*xily. He sighed sadly, any time he comes home and meets her like this, it means one thing; s*x and his body always react to the sexiness but now in his state of mind nothing was appealing in his eyes.

Stacy walked towards him and he cracks his head thinking of one excuse to give and luckily for him his phone rang.  Surprised filled his face as he heard the principal voice on the other end telling him to come to the school.

Ending the call, he looked at Stacy and found the perfect way to disappear “the principal wants you to come to the school, Lydia(x) caused trouble”

“why don’t you go” Stacy blurts out crossing her hands angrily that her plans just got messed up.

Vicku gave her the knowing look

“She sighed “okay, I will go but I am definitely going to beat the hell out of her” she muttered and left to wear proper clothing.

Vicky sighed relieved that he much time to ponder on things

********
“Sorry I am late” Stacy mutters on rushing inside the principal’s office but the sight that greeted her made her swallow her words. Lydia(x) was sitting with another girl of her age, looking a lot like each other but the other girl looked tougher.

Seeing Lydia sitting facing the principal,  fear gripped her but when the principal stated what happened she relaxed and made a short quick prayer thanking God that Vicky wasn’t the one that came after all. It would have been a family reunion, Lydia with her two daughters and Vicky too; she is going to change her school. She can’t stand a chance allowing them to find out they are sisters if any case her charms fails her.

She searched Lydia(x)’s neck and her heart did a flip flop when she couldn’t see the necklace on her neck, she shifts uncomfortable at the same time Lydia(x) scratched her neck and she smiled, satisfied when she got a glimpse of the necklace. When she found out Vicky changed her to a new school, she had to do something and running to her partner in crime; they gave her a necklace to give Lydia(x) that will just make her appear like a neutral girl to everyone’s eyes not like a typical twin.

“And you are … her..?” the principal asked awaiting Stacy’s reply

“yes, I am her mother” she replied gaining her confidence

“Step mother actually” Lydia(x) quickly added

Stacy gave her i will so kill you stare before flashing a smile at Lydia who looked all polished and rich, sitting poised looking at the principal

She sat upright immediately; she has to start acting like a mother to Lydia(x) to avoid loosing her completely.

*****
Lol, what would have happened if actually Vicky was the one that went there………. Full time family reunion

Hahahahaha, add yours

“and how do you see rich spoilt kids?”
********
