He blinked like a nervous puppy and Olivia almost laughed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I’m.. I’m surprised” He finally said.
“You should be” Olivia shrugged.
“But I’m so glad i finally got you to stop ignoring me, talking to you is great”
“Its not my thing to talk to people or make friends, i’ve been like this for so long” Olivia said. “Ohh.. you must have been lonely”
“No, i have my brother and cousin to always talk to and i have a dog too. His name’s Jax” Olivia smiled and she quickly stopped.
“Wow” Arusha said, obviously smitten.
She has a beautiful smile and he’d pay his last penny to see her smile again.
Olivia sighed, thinking she had said too much.
She’s not always this open to people but she had told Arusha without even thinking.
“I have a sister too, And she has a dog too” Arusha smiled.
“Really?” Olivia asked, knowing he must love his sister so much with the way his face had lit up when he mentioned her.
“Yes, her name is Irish, she’s my world, i love her so much and I’ll gladly do anything for her and do you know what?” Arusha asked.
“What?” Olivia asked interestingly.
“She packs her hair, just the way you do”
“Wow” Olivia said, intrigued.
She rarely see females style their hair the same way she does.
She continued eating and then glanced at Arusha.
“Do you care for some?” She asked.
“No, thank you. I’ll just go get pasta from the cafeteria”Arusha said, getting on his feet. He’s starving already though he doesn’t want to stop talking to Olivia.
She’s so interesting to talk to.
“You should go quickly before lunch break is over” Olivia said.
“Yeah” Arusha said, hurrying to the door with smiles.
If he had turned, he would have seen Olivia smile too.
At that moment, they both knew a new chapter had opened in their lives.

“Why are you looking at the door?” Jane asked Jessica
She was sitting with Jane and Paris in the cafeteria and she was kinda wondering whenArusha would appear, as much as she hates to admit it.. she has been waiting for him to walk in.
He walked in just then and Jessica blew out a breath.
Jane and Paris turned, as other girls did.
It’s obvious most of the girls find Jessica attractive, their gazes followed him down to where he dished some pasta.
“I fell his looks are just wasted cause he’s so poor. Chandler should have such looks
instead, he’s rich” Jane rolled his eyes.
“At this point, i don’t think i care about his status anymore, he’s so good looking and freaking intelligent. I think i love him” Paris said almost breathlessly and Jessica glared at her. “What do you mean he’s so intelligent? Is anyone more intelligent than i am in this school?” Jessica asked, watching Arusha from the corner of her eyes.
He was holding a plate of steaming pasta as he walked towards an empty table but before he got there, Anna and Danielle invited him to their table.
He went to sit with them.
“As much as i hate to admit it, Arusha is so intelligent. I don’t even know who’s more intelligent
between you two” Jane sighed and Jessica felt like hitting her head with a fork.
“And what do you mean by you love him?” Jessica asked Paris, biting her upper lip.
“Yes i do” Paris confirmed, staring at Arusha.
“You should better back off…” Jessica said.
“He’s mine” She added inwardly and groaned when she saw Chandler approaching her with roses.

“Jessica” Gabrielle called.
“Just let me be. Mum!” Jessica yelled, dropping her backpack on the stairs and walking angrily to her room.
Gabrielle sighed as she picked up the backpack wondering who must have pissed her off.

Olivia grinned as Jax barked at her in greetings.
Two maids collected her backpack as she played with Jax.
He licked her face and she giggled.
“Let’s go in” She said to him and he trailed behind her.
Workers bowed as she walked past them and she nodded in greeting.
“Robbie, can i have a glass cup of juice please” said to Robbie as she sat on the couch.
“Okay, your highness” Robbie bowed and hurried into the kitchen.
Robbie is her personal maid and they’re both quite close.
She understands her more than any of the workers and she always knows what to do at all times.
She has been amazing and diligent and honest.
Olivia rested her head on the couch and smiled when she remembered Arusha.
What a sweet soul.
“What’s with that smile? Are you up to something naughty?”Olivia heard the voice she would never have mistaken for anyone else.
She hadn’t even turned to look at him when she screamed his name.
“Charleston!” She flew into her brother’s arms and he held her for quite long.
“When did you get back?” She asked after they disengaged from the hug.
She really missed her brother, he’s in Oxford and she’s sure they weren’t on a break yet, so she hadn’t even expected him.
“Hey!” Charleston almost yelled at Jax who quickly hid behind Olivia’s back.
“Tell your little friend to get away” Charleston said to Olivia and she laughed.
Jax and Charleston has never gotten along, they were always barking and screaming at each other.
“You should try to get along with Jax… he’s a nice dog” Olivia smiled, stroking Jax who
scampered away after seeing Charleston glare at him.
“Have you forgotten how he almost chopped off my ear?” Charleston reminded Olivia and she laughed hard, falling back on the couch.
“That was because you tried to steal my car key” She said, collecting the juice from Robbie. She gulped it down her throat and dropped the glass cup on the table.
A maid cleared it immediately.
“I wasn’t gonna steal it, i was gonna take it but that wild dog leaped on me!” Charleston groaned.
“You were gonna take it? Without my consent?” Olivia rolled her eyes.
“Well… i needed to go out with friends and you know Dad seized my car key” Charleston said as he sat beside her.
He has always being naughty and troublesome, he isn’t responsible a bit and their father was always yelling at him, scolding him and reminding him he’ll one day become the reigning Prince of King City. And he should also respect the fact that his father was the president too.
