The Meeting

She was a beautiful girl with no family. Stayed alone in school and had no friends. She only cared about passing both the physical and mental part of the school. She schooled, or would I say, still schools at Claribon Boarding School for the gifted. She was a person that no one wanted to challenge, and was the best at what she did. She was the most intelligent in her class, and the strongest too. She was a science geek and a really hot chick, yet she had no friend, no family.

Her mom had abandoned her at the boarding school after the mom’s husband divorced her, and her sister had been hit by a car on her wedding day after finding out that her boyfriend was only marrying her as a bet.

She was on scholarship and was very holy. I am by name, Elizabeth Catherine Davidson. I thought my life was a mess and I could never repair it. My life was about to get better, even with a little clarity. I was sitting in my room, trying to revise my notes on Chemistry, and suddenly, I heard a noise from outside, the girls in the hostel were screaming on top of their voices because, for the first time, at last the school was going to become a mixed school the school and the students had been informed about the new development ….

The boys came into the compound and an assembly was conducted by the school teachers/ monks and seniors. The seniors addressed the students, and by the time the assembly was over, the senior told the students to welcome the boys, and so they did. I, on the other hand sat alone and watched as the girls to my disappointment displayed acts of childishness..

Suddenly, out of nowhere, one of the boys pointed at me and it seemed as if he was asking about me. I turned my face and drew ignorant of him. A while latter, he walked over and introduced himself. His name was Michael Johnson II. Michael had four brothers who also got admitted into the school by names; James, David, Charles and Steven.

Mike asked me what I was doing alone and why I didn’t join the other girls in welcoming them. I turned, looked at him, and said, “they already did all the welcoming, mine wouldn’t have added anything to the greetings”. He then smiled and said, “I heard you are the best around here,” and I said, “I don’t know what you heard but I am trying me best. He then said “fine. I will have a fight tomorrow and if I win, you’ll become my girlfriend”. In a shock, I said to him, “I have never thought of a guy and neither do I now, but it is bad to reject a challenge. Moreover, I just met you for the first time in my life; what brought about that you can’t just request for that. Please, I don’t have time for a child’s play since you believe you are the best. I expect that you should change your request by now if you have any.” He then said to me, “no, I will not, unless you believe I will win tomorrow”.
