Arranged Life - On Hold

#21- School

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

"Pss, pss, wake up!!" someone whispered in my ear.

I groaned and tried to shoo it away.

"Wake up, Bella!"

"Shut up, I want to sleep." I whispered.

"You got enough of your beauty sleep. You have to wake up now." someone said in my ear.

I groaned again.

"You slept for 2 days already."

I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eye.

"2 days?" I said slowly.

"Yeah." I opened my eyes and I saw Sara, "Hey Sara."

"Morning."

"Why did you wake me up so early?"

"Oh, Mrs. Wood wants to talk to you." Sara said, fixing my hair, "She is waiting in her office. And you better hurry; she is going to leave for work soon."

I nodded.

"Go get dressed. You don't want to see her like this." Sara said.

"Ok, what time is it?" I asked.

"About 5:30."

"Hey and where is Tyler?" I asked.

"Oh, he is preparing for school. He has school today."

School

I thought. It seems like it was a billion years ago that I went to school. I have to admit, even though I have no friends or boyfriends, I still miss school, I missed the education part.

I hurry to the bathroom and Sara brought the clothes. I changed and headed to her office.

I knocked on her door.

"Come in!" Mrs. Wood called.

I opened the door and I put on a smile.

"Morning, Mrs. Wood." I said, politely.

"Morning, Bella." Mrs. Wood said, smiling, "Please sit here."

"I quietly sat down.

"So, Mrs. Wood I was wondering what am I doing here."

"Well, I want to speak with you."

I nodded.

"So how was the date?" she asked.

"Yeah, it was ok, it wasn't bad and we, you know, you know, ummmm . . . yeah." I said, blushing. I don't know, but I can't say the word 'kiss' in front of Mrs. Wood.

I bit my lips.

Mrs. Wood laughed and you could see her left side dimple.

"Oh, you are so cute, I am so glad that you and Tyler are mates and I'm glad I picked up."

I blushed.

"Well, since the date went well, I have to reward you with something." Mrs. Wood said.

I stayed quiet for a few minute, thinking what I want.

I have almost everything. They have money, they have food; they have almost everything.
