*Zeb's POV*
I slid through the Office door, propelled by the slight push from Navec. He just smiled and stared deep into my eyes as if trying to search my soul.
Inside, we were directed to the soft, plushy chairs not far from the large oak table in the middle of the room.
Sitting behind the table was a nice looking lady who could not be older than 40. She had beautiful, shiny jet black hair which she had in a low, messy but cute bun.
Smiling at us, she asked us to kindly have a seat and wait until she called us since the Administrator was dealing with a serious matter.
Not long after, Ms. Brenton-Webb, as we saw written on the name card on the table, ushered us into the Adminstrator's office.
The Adminstrator greeted us with a broad, beautiful smile that showed off her straight teeth. She introduced herself as Ms. Teixeira Baber and said we could call her Teixeira.
"Such a beautiful, exotic name!" I exclaimed.
"But surely not so much as yours Zeb. Most beautiful name I've ever heard." He said the last part almost to himself.
"Well Zeb, since I've never heard of you or seen you around school before, I'd assume you're new here and were led to my office by Mr. Steele, who on any other occasion I would've sent out of here but he seems to have taken a liking to you. " she said, giving Navec a pointed, knowing look.
Blushing slightly I said to her that I was indeed new and came to get my timetable.
"And room number, don't forget room number Tesh." Navec reminded Teixeira.
"Ahh of course, how could I forget that?"
Now I was slightly worried. I wasn't told about having to sleep here, what madness- My thoughts were cut short when Navec nudged me and quickly informed me that the school believed that students deserved to have more room to hold their things and a private place to go if they just needed to be alone, once they had a pass of course, or if they began to feel ill during school hours and couldn't go home.
"Oh that's so nice of them!" I believe I will most certainly enjoy being at this school...
"Sure is, although people rarely use them for those reasons but instead to sleep before school and during the break periods." He winked at me.
"Ohh, umm, ok. Sooo about my timetable." I said, trying not think about what that wink could possibly mean.
"Right. Here's your timetable, room number and room key Ms. Kendraya. Please try to be punctual at all times and maybe we'll never have to see each other again. Although I wouldn't mind seeing such a sprightly young lady from time to time. Anyhow, time for you kiddos to go, have a great day Genzebe. And Mr. Steele please don't bring anyone else to my office would you? Thanks, much appreciated love." She flashed us both a bright smile and sent us on our way.
"Kendraya? Exotic last name too huh? Any other exotic names?" Navec asked with a chuckle as we left the Office, waving at Ms. Brenton-Webb as we passed her.
"Well if you must know," I said, faking exasperation, "My middle names are Teixeira Adriann Chiyoke Adiole. Yes, I know, 'das nuff name' as my friends back home in Barbados would say."
"Wow. Genzebe Teixeira Adriann Chiyoke Adiole Kendraya. What a name. Are your parents African or something?"
"We're from Ethiopia actually, so yes my parents are African. But we moved to Barbados when I was like five. I don't exactly remember what it was like in Ethiopia but I know it was great, well for me at least, because as soon as we arrived in Barbados my parents seemed to be way more relaxed. I don't know why, but hey who cares? As long as they're happy I'm good. Happy parents, happy life, ya know?"
"I think the saying goes 'happy wi-' "
"Happy wife, happy life, I know. But I'm not married nor am I a lesbian soooo, can't relate."
"I know but I'm just saying. Anyway your room is right around the cor-"
"Heyyyyy Mr. Steal-ya-girl! Get over here man!" one of Navec's friends it seemed, shouted at us.
"I told you man, I don't steal girls. It's not my fault she preferred me over you." Navec said with a heavy sigh.
"Man whatever. And who is this sexy lady? Another stolen good?"
"Um hi. Thanks for the, uh, compliment, if that's what you call it, but you could've asked me, the 'stolen good', my name. That would've been so much better."
"I'm sorry madam. I'll do better next time."
He took my hand, brought it up to his mouth and placed a gentle kiss on it.
"Pleasant good morning to you, beautiful. And what, might I ask, is your name?"
"Much better love. And my name is-"
"GENZEBE TEIXEIRA ADRIANN CHIYOKE ADIOLE KENDRAYA-DIBABA! Why didn't you call me when you got here you sneaky little-"
"Heyyy Rhyllie. And I didn't call you because I was busy. I just came from the office with Navec here."
"Awww Navec you're so sweet. You can't help but be nice to everyone huh, babe? Thanks for helping my bestie here."
"Errrr? Babe? What? She is your girlfriend?" I swiveled around to look at Navec. "And he's your boyfriend?! You secretive little bish! You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend!" I confusedly yelled at Rhyllie.
"Welllllllll, Genny, this is my boyfriend Navec, you two have met," she quickly said with a small, shy smile.
"Hmm. Whatever child. By the way, what's your name Mr?" I looked at the guy who I had talked some manners into just now curiously.
"The name's Sterlin, Kouva Sterlin."
"Well Mr. Sterlin, nice to meet you. See you around school. Ta-ta."
"I hope so too, love."
School was already starting out great.
"And please, if you wouldn't mind of course, join us for lunch." Kouva requested, somewhat shyly.
"Oh of course she will, I'll make sure of it. Now come on Genny, I'll take you to your room and class from here. Byeeerzz Navie poo!" Rhyllie practically dragged me down the hallway to my room and classes, some of which, thankfully, she had with me.
