THE ARRIVAL

THE END

Hey guy! This is the end of this book; it's not the end of THE ARRIVAL(If you read "the author's note" you'd understand).

A YEAR LATER,

ROSE'S POV.

"You're not dressed yet? I can't believe we're finally done with secondary school." Alex said. He was on his graduation outfit looking so dashing as ever, his haircut was so nice and I couldn't help but stare at such marvelous creature standing right in front of me.

"Rose?" He yelled and cut me off the admirations, I was so engrossed in his looks that I forgot where I was.

"Oh! What were you saying?" I managed to ask.

"Really Rose?" He looked at me with such disbelief.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't listening to what you were saying." I looked at him.

"Well, too bad. I won't repeat my words." He looked away.

"Okay." I smiled mischievously, I know how to get on his nerves and I tend to piss him off when I give him the I don't care look.

"Okay? Well, that's your problem. I'm going to the dining room and after eating I'm leaving for the valedictory service, so it's best if you and your partner in crime dress up fast. I'll be waiting for you two." He looked pissed and left.

Living at the Ikechukwu's has been nothing but a relief to me, They've been so nice to me. Mr. Arnold is barely around; I don't get to see him often, He travels a lot.
Helen was nice enough to have me stay in her room, even though the house has enough rooms.
Ever since I moved here, Grandma has been kind to me, she treats me like her own grandchild and I can't help but love her so much.
Alex and I enrolled in the same school Helen attends, it was our final year so we had to focus more on our studies and make fewer friends.

"Is this dress okay? You picked it for me so you'll have to judge." Helen said almost immediately I stepped into the room.

"It looks gorgeous on you Helen." I grinned.

"Okay thanks, I really want Desmond to notice me. This is our graduation day and I really want to look good, this is an opportunity to make Desmond notice me." She hugged me.

"But, this might be the last time we'll all be seeing each other, except those that are lucky to meet again though; so why the stress?" I mumbled.

"Yeah, but I just want to make today a memorable one." She smirked.

"Whatever, I have to get prepared Alex might leave us behind." I rushed to have my bath.

"I'm done anyway." She exclaimed.

ALEX'S POV.

"Guys? Be fast, time is running." I yelled. I was in the living room waiting anxiously for Rose to come downstairs, Helen has been done since a while now.

"I'm coming guys." I heard her announce.

"Wow!" I heard Helen say as I buried my face in the pictures my friends posted on my phone.

"What's that? Wow." I managed to say as I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life.

"Le let's go" I stuttered.

"It's horrible I know, I'll just go change it," Rose said looking dishearten.

"No, no. It's perfect." I said hastily.

"If it is, why are you both looking at me that way?" She interrogated.

"Because you look more beautiful than ever, " Helen said the words I had in mind.
