OUR EXCHANGE PROGRAM

I will make your life a living hell

Some people don't realize what they have until it's gone but that does not mean they are supposed to  get it back.

Natalia's POV

"I said you are... "Jessi began.
"I know what you said. But how?  when? where?"I snapped at her.

"Where, I don't know but how... "

"Just shut up Jessi. I can't be pregnant. "
Just then Jessi started laughing.
"You should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless. "

"Thank God Jessi, If it had a price, you would have sold it already. "
I just roll my eyes and smile at her. This  girl will kill me one day.

Just then the nurse arrives.
"Talia, there was nothing serious, but we can't be sure. You have to visit the hospital for further checkup. Ok? "
I simply nod.

"Fine. The principal has called for an emergency meeting. You two should hurry up. "
I spring out of the bed and walk with Jessi to the meeting  ground.

The middleaged,  short and stout lady comes to address us immediately. "

"Straight to the  point, we are going to have our normal exchange program experience as from this weekend for about a year (applause  and cheers.) The very few that have been selected will receive their Passports and everything that they are required to have. To check out if you have qualified, a list has been issued out with names. You will get to hear more before you leave. Good day. "

We all scatter and go back to our respective classes. I know I am a performer, but even if I am selected I won't go. I can't just leave my mom alone. Especially for a year. It can never happen.

"Nate, what are you thinking about? "

"Nothing really Jessi, am still wondering why Laire didn't come to check on me back in the infirmary. I mean, we are friends. "I halflie.

"Well, you can talk to her later. As for now, I want to check if we have been selected. Come on. "Before I even talk, am yanked to class.

She checks out for our names and the next thing I know Jessi is skipping up and down while clapping cheerfully. She squeaks excitedly  but when she notices my calm self, she walks to me.

"Well, you don't look too happy about it. "

"Jessi, my mom has a heart condition. I just can't leave her behind you know. She needs someone to look after her. "

She walks to me and gives me a breathtaking hug, "Don't worry Nate, She will be fine. Am sure she also wants you to go. "

We have been arguing with my mom for the past hour.
"Mom, I can't just leave you here alone. "

"I'll be fine Talia, I went for a check up yesterday, you were there and you heard the doctor say ill be fine. "

"But mom... "

"No buts Talia, you are going and that's final. "

And indeed, she had the final word.

So right now, we are in the school's cafeteria. The school goes by the name Lashton High. We have really blended well with their system and let me not even start with their food, it  is di-vi-ne. I mean who doesn't like good food. I'm now in the cafeteria ordering my favorite cappuccino.

I've been trying to reach my mom all morning and I can't deny, am worried. I try dialing her number for the a hundredth time today and luckily it goes through. Just at the moment, the lady at the cafeteria hands me my coffee.

"Hi Talia, "
"Hae mom, I've been trying to reach you all morning. " I swandwich my phone between my ear and shoulder before taking my order and paying her.

I'm about to turn around when I bump into someone, spilling my coffee all over the person.

Oh goodness!
I know too...

This is so cliché right?
"Mom let me call you later. "I hangup even before she replies.

I shift my eyes from his already stained shirt to his face,
I'm met with the most beautiful seagreen eyes I have ever seen. Oh goodness, I can easily get lost in them. And his hair? I wish I could...

" What the hell have you done? "He shouts.
I have a feeling the face doesn't match the personality.
"Are you deaf or dumb? You just spoiled my shirt. "

... and I was right, he's just a douche bag.
"Well mister, am sorry, it wasn't  intentional, I promise it won't happen again. I really apologize. "
I try to walk past him when I feel a hand grasp my wrist. As a result of shock, I drop my coffee mug.

"You don't leave when I'm talking to you lady"
Alrigh, am officially pissed.

" I already apologized what else do you want from me. Don't you have the word "accident" and "apology " in you vocabulary? "

I look around and notice we have now gained the attention of the whole cafeteria. Just great! I unconsciously reach to my ring and gently play with it.

"Do you even know who you are talking to in that manner?... "

These rich people and their arrogance.

"And who are you, Donald Trump? Emmanuel Macron? You know what even if you are the most high ranking billionaire, I. Don't. Care. "
 
I hear a series of "oows" and by the looks of his face, I know I have hit a nerve.

I don't know where I get this kind of courage from and I don't care. This douche bag is so annoying. Who does he think he is. Simply because I poured hot coffee on him doesn't mean he should give me the, "do you know who I am "crap.

He's still fuming but somehow he loosens his grip and I take this as my cue to leave.

"You will regret what you just did. Am going to make your life a living hell. Am going to be your worst nightmare. "
"Bring it on mister, bring. It. On"

He bits his lip angrily before stomping out.
I let out a heavy breath I hadn't noticed I was holding. I turn to look at Jessi and she gives me a" what the hell look. "

Great!
Just great!
What has this big mouth of mine gotten me into!

There you have our today's chapter
Let's see how the douche bag is going to make Talia's life miserable

Can't wait
