Chapter 2 The Vow

"Arise and shine, Havenwood high students, for a bright day awaits you" The siren Wales as Brianna wakes up to call the others.

...*Anna *...

Argh! we're back again, it just 4:30 am, and we're expected to be awake.

I know the girls are definitely going to wake me up, but I'm too exhausted.

...****************...

"Anna, Anna, wake up we have class today." Netta yells at Anna.

"One minute please" Anna requested. "Are you waking up,, or you want me to get you watered, that's no big deal for me" Elsie teased Anna as she quickly woke up from the bed as though she had a nightmare. "It's just a minute I requested for" "We have to do our morning devotion already, you're just lucky we didn't wake you up at 3:00am" Netta came in.

...****************...

The morning devotion went on fast, and they prepared quickly for class. Indeed, the Bena girls never disappoint, they had more than an hour left to get to class and that was enough for them to start a topic for discussion.

Elsie; today's our first day, do you girls think there would be an effective learning?

Netta: Indeed today's our first day, but I know for sure that lesson is going to start, perhaps, it's not going to be effective, it's going to be cool.

Brianna: let's get started then.

Anna: started? Started with what?

Brianna: hey don't we always learn before we go to class? It's our routine, don't tell me you've forgotten.

Elsie: are you kidding? You want us to start learning already? That's not what we do the first week in school.

Brianna: uhm, okay we have more than an hour then, what do we?

Anna: let's talk about random stuffs.

Netta: we are more than celebrities in Havenwood high. We have a lot to do.

Elsie: you're right, everyone including the teachers are on us, they're expecting good grades already; we're just in level 1.

Brianna: Yes they are, we also have a lot of people who are admiring our friendship. They're looking up to us, including our seniors.

Anna: Exactly, but don't forget a lot are also waiting for our downfall.

Brianna: that's their own problem, I guess they'll wait till eternity.

Elsie: Exactly where staying together for life. That's a promise.

Anna: A promise? It's a vow from the Bena girls, or what do you girls say?

Netta: Yeah it's a vow, and we also vow to be there for each other, my problem is your problem and yours is also mine.

Brianna: we're not going to leave anyone behind.

Elsie: yeah, I love that. I also have something to say.

Netta: Go on.

Elsie: I've decided to tell Raphael my feelings.

Anna: uhm, I thought you've gotten over that already.

Elsie: yes, but I keep thinking of him and I think telling him will be of help to me.

Brianna: I understand you very well Elsie, but I'll advise you not to take such risk. What if he doesn't like you do, what help do you think he can give you?

Anna: wait, and what if he likes you? Are you both going to date?

Netta: that would somehow ruin our friendship, you'd have to have enough time for him too.

Anna: can't you wait till we're out of school?

...****************...

The girls spoke a lot trying to convince Elsie, all she could do was to cry because, they all had points. Her friends promised to keep her company and help her overcome her feelings for Raphael. There, another vow was made to stay single till they graduate from Havenwood high.

Elsie: girls, what of prom?

Anna: we can still go without a date.

Netta: yeah, that's not a problem at all, we'll be here for ourselves.

Brianna: it's almost time, let's get going already.

...****************...

The girls moved to their various classes, Anna to the Biology class, Netta to the Art class, Elsie to the accounting class and finally Brianna, to the literature class. Just like Netta said, there wasn't any effective learning, so the girls chatted from time to time and Brianna, a class prefect had to put her class in order.

...****************...

"I stand here today as the head of Havenwood high school to welcome you all back to school, it's been three months since you left and there's been a lot of changes which I know most of you know already but to clear all doubt, the changes are going to be said formally to you all" The headmaster of Havenwood high announced and handed over to the head of Domestic affairs to proceed. Aside the changes that was made among the teachers, other facilities were built as others like the Biology laboratory was renovated. It was also announced that effective learning would start the following week, this week was set aside for the students to explore the school and also monitor the new teachers, not because they need their review for anything but because it's a tradition of Havenwood High. Most students believe it is a period set aside for students to adapt to the new changes, no matter how mean the teachers are, still are to cope, the only way to do that, is to mind your business, so you don't step on any teacher's toe. The parents of the students in the school have almost no power to request for a change among teachers. That's so terrifying to students but what at all can they do?

...***************...

"I told you less on won't be effective." Netta said with pride. "Yes you did, let's go to sir Daniel's place, we have a lot to talk about with him" Anna continued.

...****************...

"Hey girls, I knew this place would indeed become a place for you to always come" sir Daniel said.

Anna: of course sir, we would be coming here from time to time.

Elsie: sir, you told us that you were posted to Havenwood high. How did that happen? We all know you to be a junior high teacher.

Sir Daniel: Yes I've been a junior high teacher, but I decided to teach in the senior high, besides I have the qualifications, and to my surprise I was posted here, I just pray the management would be happy with my work here, so I can stay to at least take care of my baby girls.

Netta: Which school on earth will not be pleased with your work? You're a genius. I guess leaving Ashwood Academy wasn't that easy for both the students and the school management.

Sir Daniel: Yes it wasn't, they didn't want me to leave.
