“Bye mom! Bye dad!” She yelled excitedly as she made to get into the cab parked outside their house, with Kelvin.
She was leaving for the university. She has changed up her dress, as she was now putting on a yellow polo and a blue trouser.
She wore a black sandals and hung a black bag.
“Bye Daisy!!” They chorused, waving at her.
She smiled and blew kisses at them before getting into the cab.
Kelvin got in as well and the cab driver began driving.
“Hey.” Daisy said and Kelvin nodded.
“You haven’t said anything since you came, are you still angry at me cause of what I said yesterday.” She asked and he hummed.
” C’mon stop it Kelvin. I already told you that it’s just a joke,,, I was only kidding.” She said.
” A joke? Really! Daisy you do this each and everytime we’re together. What’s with this your infatuation…”
” Exactly Kelvin! It’s an infatuation! Mere infatuation! I don’t get why you getting angry when you know that the future between VD and I is nearly impossible.” She yelled getting upset.
“Nearly impossible you say?”
“C’mon Kelvin, you know VD has always been my crush and role model since I was a teen. He has been my crush even before I met you. He has been my crush just like every girls’ crush-”
“But being with VD is nearly impossible… I mean we’re worlds apart. He’s rich and I’m poor. He’s famous and I’m not. What even make you think I’ll leave you for him when it’s impossible.”
“I didn’t say that Daisy…”
“Ooh you did… that’s what you clearly implied.” She said, frustrated.
Kelvin sighed and looked at her. She wore that her usual puppy face which was hard for him to resist.
“Daisy…”
“Please…” She pouted.
“You claim it’s impossible right?” He asked and she nodded.
“Well what if you meet VD one day?” He asked.
“Tsk Kelvin, I can’t believe that you believe in fairytale.” She said
“Huh?”
“Yea Kelvin, meeting with celebrities coincidentally only happen in stories and movies. It hasn’t happened in reality, if it has I haven’t seen neither have I heard of it.” She said plainly.
“Swears,,, you’re unbelievable. But that didn’t answer my question.”
“I have dummy, rethink.” She smirked.
He laughed.
“So problem solved.” She asked.
“Nope.” He smirked.
“Seriously,,, how else do you want me to apologize? ” She asked tiredly.
“With a kiss. That’s what I consider a proper apology.” He smirked.
” Pervert! I should have thought as much.” She said.
“Now do it.” He said.
She smiled cunningly as idea popped in.
She gave him a quick peck on his lips and smirk.
“What was that?” He asked.
“The kiss which you demanded.” She smirked.
“You…” she winked at him.
He pulled her closer and captured her lips in his.
“Kelv…” she muttered giving him entrance, she reciprocated tho. The kiss was a slow and passionate one.
As they kissed, they forgot the cab driver.
“Ahem!” He coughed and they broke the kiss.

“Actually, Bonnie is coming with you.” His dad answered instead.
“What!”
“Dad, you know Bonnie never likes college. Why are you making her do you this?” Vlad asked.
“I ain’t-”
“Dad isn’t forcing me to do this Vlad. I made this decision on my own with a cool mind.” Bonnie interrupted.
“Bonnie,,, I thought you never fashioned college…”
“Yeah I know Vlad, I have never fashioned college. I have always loved being a model, but come to think of it,,, being a model isn’t all that is. I also have to be highly educated, that’s why I chose to go back to college with you. I had spoke to your dad about it and with the influence he has, he was able to secure an admission, that’s it.” She explained.
He sighed deeply.
“And why am I just finding out?” He asked, boringly.
” I wanted to surprise you.” She smiled but he huffed.
‘Come to think of it, it was a good thing that Bonnie is coming with him, he wouldn’t be alone there. Poor thing Jaxon won’t be coming along.’ He thought inwardly.
Bonnie, Jaxon and Vlad are childhood friends, Bonnie and Jaxon are more like his siblings. Bonnie is a model while Jaxon is also an actor.
Bonnie joined the model industry at age of sixteen while Jaxon and Vlad joined the acting industry at the age of 12.
“Vlad.” She called.
“Let’s go now.” Vlad said instead and started walking away with his mom and sis beside him.
“Bye dad.” Bonnie said and followed them outside.
They got outside.
Vlad and Bonnie and hugged the mom and sis. They got into a white BMW and the driver drove off.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY**
Students could be seen walking to and fro in their casual outfit. Some where either going for a lecture or coming back from it while some hung around chitchatting.
In an office in the school, a middle aged man sat there. He had has his gaze fixated on the laptop right before him, tho he had a pair of spectacles on which laid firmly on his nose. He had his left hand holding onto the mouse beside him.
Then, a knock came in.
“Come in.” He replied, not taking his eyes off the system.
The door squeaked open and Daisy walked in.
“Good afternoon sir.” She greeted.
“Good afternoon young lady… Do have a seat.” The man replied, offering her a seat.
She smiled, taking slow steps towards it. She drew out the chair and sat on it.
“What is your name?” He asked taking his eyes off the system.
“Daisy… Daisy Schleiden.” She replied, timidly.
“Daisy Schleiden.” He muttered taking his gaze back to the system. He typed some words on the keyboard.
“Ooh… You are among the five that got the scholarship, aren’t you?” He asked.
“Yes, I am Sir.” She replied, nodding her head affirmatively.
“Woah that is good… so you are to start today.” He asked.
“Yes sir.”

Daisy was given all she required and was told her room number. She smiled as she walked through the hallway, giving a short smile to those she came across even though they didn’t care.
She was finally in college, she was still finding it to be a dream. She never knew she would go the college. Thanks to whoever made this scholarship happen.
Just then, she bumped into someone.
“Oh my!” She raised her head to see who she bumped into.
It was…
TBC.
