Chapter 14: what do you want?

Octavia

After briefing Lou on my conversation with my dad she nodded sleepily.

"Are you even paying attention?" I asked

"Sorry girl but you have been speaking non stop for an hour now" she yawned "and it's almost one am"

"But what I have said has been pivotal information Elouise" I huffed. Lou just put her head down across my lap as she closed her eyes

"Just shh for a moment" I looked at her face "silence can be golden" shoving her off my lap I laughed

"What's wrong with you tonight?" She sat up

"Nothing" she stretched her back

"No somethings wrong you have your thinking face on"  I watched as she moved up to the window overlooking the rolling garden

"I don't know" she scratched her head "I feel like something in the universe has just aligned do you feel it?"

"In what sense has something aligned?" Laying across the bed I watched as she opened the window letting the evening breeze flutter in

"I feel like somethings gonna change but in a good way" she stuck her head outside "it's just a feeling I have"

"Well I hope what ever it is is good" I fixed the pillow under my chin

"Me too" with that we both sat in a somber silence.

One week later

Looking intently at the paper before me I scratched my head. For the first time in my life I was unprepared for a test, my past week had been tense and I simply forgot about this stupid maths test.

I closed my eyes and just prayed that something would happen to save me from this test.

"Miss Spencer" Mr Coleby my maths teacher said, looking up from my paper "your needed at the reception you can complete the test tomorrow"

Muttering a yes under my breathe I handed him my paper and left the room. I had no clue why reception needed me but I was happy to be out of that exam.as I opened the door to the reception the lady at the desk peered at me through her cat eyes glasses

"I was called, I'm Octavia Spencer" I said in a hushed voice. The lady nodded

"Your mother sighted you out your free to go and collect your belongings" the women croaked with a swift nod I left

What was happening?

Nicole

Sitting in my car outside Octavias school I looked at my phone hoping she would walk out soon. When I saw her walk out of the school I smiled.

"Mum what's happening?" She asked as jumped into the car

"We're going for lunch" I said as the car started Octavia eyed me off

"Umm okay" she then proceeded to text someone on her phone, my guess is Elouise.

After a silent car ride I parked in front of a small cafe.

"We're here" fixing my hair I then got out of the car. Octavia looked over her shoulder and observed her surroundings

As we entered the cafe the people who sat at the tables eyed us off, Octavia fixed her blazer and kept to my side.

"What's your reservation under Miss" the server asked

"Spencer" I responded.  The server nodded and signalled us to follow him.
