"A room for Her own "

4 Time to deal with reality

"Mrs. Johnson, Remi's English teacher, called her and was angry with her because she had bunked (skipped) school and the principal found out. She asked Remi, 'When I called you, why didn't you come to me? This is your last warning. If you remain uninterested in class again or skip school again because of your boyfriend, I'll tell your parents.'"
She apologies. Sorry ma'am." She then went to her class, feeling a bit embarrassed and regretful for skipping school earlier. She knew she had to be more responsible and focused on her studies.

Mrs. Johnson's stern warning had an impact on Remi, and she decided to make a conscious effort to attend classes regularly and avoid getting into trouble again. She took her seat in class, trying to put the earlier incident behind her and focus on the lesson.

"When she came home in the evening, her father told her, 'I've enrolled you in tuition classes because you really need them, you're in 12th grade now.'"
Remi's father continued, "From tomorrow, you have to go to tuition at 4 o'clock. I've already spoken to the tutor and arranged everything. You'll go there every day, Monday to Friday, and focus on your studies. No more skipping classes or wasting time. Your future is important, and I want to see you succeed."

Remi nodded, understanding the seriousness in her father's voice. She knew she had to take her studies seriously and make a change.

Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a new chapter in her life...

Remi woke up early the next day, feeling a mix of emotions. She was nervous about her first tuition class, but also determined to make a fresh start. She got dressed and had breakfast, trying to shake off the butterflies in her stomach.

Remi went to school  feeling more confident and determined. As she was walking down the hallway, she noticed a boy who she had never really talked to before. He was sitting alone on a bench, looking a bit lost in thought.

On a whim, Remi decided to go up to him and strike up a conversation. "Hey, what's up? You look like you're thinking deep thoughts," she said with a smile.

The boy looked up, startled, and then smiled back. "Yeah, just trying to figure some things out. I'm shivang, by the way."

Remi introduced herself, and they started talking. They discovered they had a lot in common, from their love of books to their passion for music. Before she knew it, they had been chatting for hours.

As the days went by, Remi and shivang  became bestfriends.

It seemed like she had finally found a true friend, someone who understood her and accepted her for who she was...
