Ria

unexpected

Harry's POV

As, we walked through the door, into the party i sighted my parents and decided this was as any good time, to ask them why they were hosting this party.

I made my excuses to ria, and walked over towards them.
"Mum dad, do you guys want to tell my now, why this party is taking place.
" tsk, you are too impatient harry, you would get to know later" my mum replied
"OK, whatever you say"
"Who's that young lady you brought tonight with you" my dad asks
Trust my dad to spot ria,now he wants to know all about her.

"She's my tutor" I replied evasively, I didn't like where the conversation was headed.
"Your tutor harry, cmon you don't expect us to believe that do you" my mum says
"Why not, that's who she is"
"Well not to brag or be pretentious, harry you are our mini genius, what in hell do you need a tutor for" my mum says

All through this, my dad keeps quiet as though surveying the ground.
"Well that's who she is"I replied a little annoyed.
" sure darling"my mum says, In this I know you, more than you know yourself tone.
My message tone beeps, what could be that, I made my excuses from my parents and check what message could have entered.

"Not feeling too well, gone home, talk to you tomorrow"
It seems my date, has bailed on me. As this thought keep swirling in my mind, the one person I sought to avoid walks towards me.
"Hey harry"
"Hey brie"
"Harry I think we need to talk" she gazes pleadingly into my eyes
I was tempted to say yes, but once burnt twice shy. So I steeled myself.
"I think....." Before I could complete my sentence,I saw my mum and dad walk on stage. And all things brie were momentarily forgotten.

"I know you all are wondering the reason for this party " my dad says.
A ripple of murmur went through the crowd.
"I guess now is the time, to assauge everyone's curiosity" my mum says
She beckons the stage crew to bring forth a board, only that the board was covered so no one knew what was there.

"Its time for the unveiling the  face of Prescott magazine for the next month" my mum says.
Wow, that's huge, I wondered who it would be next month, it was a great honour and prestige to be the face of the magazine.
Well, my parents decided to put everyone out there misery by unveiling the board, and to every one surprise, and mine included it was brie on the cover of the magazine, and she was stunning.
The rest of the party went off in a daze, and soon I was back home.

Laying down on my bed, I replayed all that happened today in my head, it was a lot to take in.I suddenly heard a soft knock on door.
"Come in " I say
My mum walks in, and I knew instinctively why she was here.
"Hey mum"
"Harry, am sorry we would have to cut our stay short, some unseen complications has arised.
" OK mum"why do they do this all the time.
"Am glad you understand,"
"Yes mum,good night"
"Love you till eternity"
"Love you till oblivion" I reply and she touches my face and walks out.

Ria's POV

I wake up feeling happy with myself, for my coup d'etat on brie, before doing anything ,I decide to check the school sites, am sure something would have been posted there.

On logging on to the schools site, I couldn't be any happier on account of what I saw there , 52%were in agreement that I wore the gown better, although the odds were to close,I was happy.

I quickly dressed and went into the kitchen, hoping to catch my mum before going to school, since I wasn't able to see her last night. A huge surprise was awaiting  me as I got kitchen, my mum was already dressed as though she was going some where, which was quite odd considering that my mum was a socialite to the core, which means she doesn't dress or leave the house before 11am and it wasn't quite 7:30 yet, the only explanation for this was that she was traveling again.

"Hey ria" my mum said
"Hey mum, what's going on"I replied
". Am going to meet your sister, she called last night and she sounded some what distraught." My mum said
"Ohh, OK, greet her for me, am on my way to school"
"Honey, hope you are not annoyed with me" she asks
"No mum, I understand" and I started walking toward my car, I seriously did understand but,there was just sometimes I wished she didn't have to go.

As I got to school, my mind suddenly went to tyra, its been a long time since we really hung out, I wonder what's up with her, it seems I always forget to ask her what's wrong with her, when my mind was constantly filled with harry.

It was as though my thoughts had conjured him up. The unexpected suddenly happened, harry walked pass me without even a hi, what!. Am I suddenly invisible, what has gotten into him, and me been me, I can't stand a rejection, I followed him to his locker.
After a few minutes of silence, which in my point of view was annoying, I decide to break the silence.
*are you just going to ignore me"I ask
"Yes if that's what going to make you go away" he replies me a bit tersely.
"Well, sorry to bust your bubble it ain't gonna happen"
"OK"
"So ,are you going to tell me what I did wrong" I gave him the puppy dog face.
"You left me stranded without a date yesterday" he says
"Am sorry, I texted you that I wasn't feeling too well.
" OK, your apology is been considered "
Only harry can say something like that.

"So what about your tutoring?"I asked
" damnation, I forgot "he said whilst him hitting his head on the Locker, this guy was too hard on himself.
" Do you still wasn't to do it, today?"
"Yes sure, if its OK by you" he replies
"Sure, see you later" and I go my !merry way, looking around if I might spot tyra, and its seems luck was by my side, cause she was walking directly to me.

"Hey bae" tyra said
"Hey, it been quite a while" I replied
"Yeah, am sorry have been busy" since she didn't expatiate on the "busy" I decided to let it slid.
"So what's up"
"Tell me you know ?" tyra gushed and we were back to normal
"Know what??" I asked Confused
"You do know Prescott magazine right" she asked
'I do, cmon who doesn't "
"Well brie, is the on the cover of next month issue"
"What, ohh no, this can't be good" was that why Victoria called mum, guess so, and then my heart sank with the next thought.
"What's the popularity ratings" I was afraid to ask

"Seventy to thirty"
I turned round to see who the voice belonged to, and it was no other than Brianna.
"I don't believe that" I  barely heard my voice
