During the moment Charmaine stayed in his arms.
Every thing and everyone siezed apart from her and Ashton who was still starring down her with that handsome face of his.
She has always known that she would meet him again after what happened two years ago but she never expected it to be this soon.
“Are you a student here?” He asked jolting her out of her thoughts and immediately she pulled out of his arms.
Ignoring his friends and Stephen who had been watching them with keen interest, she hurried off.
“Who’s she?” Essegz asked Ashton who kept watching her leave.
“Is she trying to hit on you?” Zach added but Ashton ignored them, going after Charmaine.
Charmaine on the other hand couldn’t help thinking about the past. After leaving her father’s home two years ago, she found a boarding house where she stayed for months while working part-time.
Her father had called asking if he should send her money not even bothered about asking why she left after all he only cared about hi mistress.
Her mother was also one of his mistress before abandoning her with her father for another guy she fell for.
That didn’t deter Charmaine, she worked hard and saved for a year and then moved to London just so she will be able to study in Cambridge college.
While searching for part time job, she came across a restaurant which is where she met Daphne and Bridget who are also working part time.
Bridget on the other hand was a student of Cambridge college and so she helped Daphne and her with the college exam and all.
And thanks to Bridget, she joined a gym and ended up slimming down. When she got the acceptance form, she thought that she will be able to start afresh and get to enjoy her college life but meeting Ashton again has got her feeling doubtful.
“Where are you going?” Bridget and Daphne who had been going to the hall asked when they saw her.
“Weren’t you able to save the front row for us?” Daphne asked.
“Can we just skip the orientation?” Charmaine asked not wanting to be in the same place as Ashton.
“What nonsense are you spewing? The orientation is an important part of your school life. So there’s no missing it” Bridget said as she took hold of her hand and pulled her back towards the hall.

Having a urgent news to give, Astrid could be seen running into the business department building until she got to a particular class.
As soon as she saw Eva, she quickly went to join her.
“You got more presents?” Astrid asked on seeing the chocolates box and flowers on her desk.
“What can I do? Am the Goddess of Cambridge college after all, so it’s a must that I get gifts from admirers” Eva boasted.
“But that position is about to be taken from you” Astrid informed which got Eva starring at her.
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone keeps talking about a female Freshmen who came for the orientation. I thought it to be nothing serious and also checked out a video of her only to see how beautiful she is, am afraid you have a rival now” Astrid said.
“Let me have a look at that video” Eva demanded which got Astrid doing so.
“She isn’t that pretty” Eva let out feeling a bit uneasy.
“The students who have seen her says different” Astrid returned.
“Then lets go see her ourself. Where’s the freshmen orientation taking place?”

< ᴏʀɪᴇɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ʜᴀʟʟ >
The freshmen sat on the floor while the principal spoke to them. When the speech ended, the seniors took over which got them playing bunch of games.
Ashton attention wasn’t on the activity going on instead his gaze kept drifting around until he saw her.
“Isn’t she the girl from earlier? What do you have going with her? ” Zach said into Ashton ears.
“She’s Charmaine, the reason why have never been interested in those doll like girls you keep throwing my way” Ashton replied.
“Don’t tell me she’s the girl you….” He stopped when he saw the knowing look on Ashton face.
“I can’t believe this, Essegz you’ve got to hear this” Zach said as he went to pull Essegz who was busy watching the game being played.
“What’s wrong?” Essegz asked while Zach filled him in.
“I thought him crazy when he had that thing done but on seeing the Charmaine girl, I can say she’s worth it” Zach said having a smug smile on.
“Where’s Ashton?”
“Probably with his love. Over there” Zach replied pointing towards Charmaine and her friends and that’s when he noticed Bridget who was dancing crazily to the music being played.
“Who the hell is she?” Zach muttered obviously drawn to her beauty.
“Bridget” Essegz answered which got Zach starring at him.
“How do you know that?”
“There’s a restaurant I go to whenever I want to read and that is where those three girls work” Essegz replied.
“So you must have known them for a long time. You should have talked to us about it” Zach reprimand.
“I didn’t know and besides each time I tell you both that am going to the restaurant you prefer to run off creating fake excuse” Essegz replied.
“That’s because I was busy. You don’t mind talking to Bridget for me right?” Zach asked.
“Just so you know Bridget isn’t in our age group also am not that close to her to ask her out on your behalf. Amongst the three of them, I only speak to Daphne”
“The shy looking one?” Zach asked which earned him a look from Essegz.
On the other hand Bridget kept dancing crazy while urging her friends to do the same which they did reluctantly.
“What’s wrong with you two? All this is meant for you. Why do you look down ?” Bridget asked.
“Not me. Am happy but too tired to dance ” Daphne said as she stared at where Essegz stood with his friend. Attending the same school as Essegz is one of the reason she applied in Cambridge college and her dream is slowly coming true.
“Then what’s wrong with you?” Bridget said to Charmaine who still had a down cast look.
“I need to use the rest room” Charmaine said as she head for the door only to stop when the lights got dimmed.
“I trust that you all are having fun” the senior in charge of being the MC of the day said which got everyone screaming out in return.
“Then lets make it spicier with another game. In a few minutes the lights will go off completely and in the dark, you need to hold onto some one who is a complete stranger to you. The time starts now” He said as the lights got turned off.
Charmaine who was almost outside stood still, she will just wait until the lights are on and slip out of the hall.
While the count down went on she stood in place waiting for it to end when suddenly, someone took hold of her hand.
She tried to pull free but the stranger holding onto it tightened his hold.
The lights came back on and Charmaine was shocked to see Ashton beside her.
How on earth did he find her in the dark? She thought as she tried to pull free again which was unsuccessful.
“Let go of me!” She muttered.
“Not until I speak to you” he said firmly.
“We have nothing to talk about” Charmaine said as she glared at him.
“Woah….am amazed that everyone of you chose the same s*x. There isn’t even a girl and a boy to….hold on a sec! I found one” the MC said as he approach Charmaine and Ashton.
“Not only does he look good looking, he seems to be holding onto the girl like he wouldn’t let go. Are you two dating?” The MC asked.
“Of course not! I don’t even know him” Charmaine said as she gave him a ‘ I dare you to say otherwise’ look.
“Can you both come forward” The MC urge which got them moving.
“Now starring at you out in the open, I won’t deny that you look handsome. Are you perhaps a fallen angel?” The MC joked while waiting for Ashton reply.
“Let’s just say have been lucky at birth” Ashton answered which got different awwns filling the air.
“She’s also stunning too, don’t they make a perfect couple?” The MC asked only to be countered by Stella.
“I don’t think so since her beauty isn’t up to Gwen” Stella said as everyone gaze went to Gwen barbie doll face.
“What’s she doing here?” Ashton muttered just as Gwen walk towards them.
“Wow…she’s a beauty” The MC let out infatuated with Gwen outstanding look.
Charmaine couldn’t deny that Gwen is beautiful. It made her remember the time she was fat and that got her sad.
A reassuring squeeze on the hand got her starring up at Ashton who was starring down at her, he must have noticed the sad look on her face.
“There’s some thing odd about those two” Stephen let out as he kept watching Ashton and Charmaine.
“What do you mean?” Foster asked as he stood behind him.
“They seem to have some thing going, some thing which I can’t point out but wh@??ver…seems like your father’s Godson also enrolled here” Stephen said referring to Essegz.
“I know right though he will be leaving soon cause I don’t plan to share the same school with him” Foster let out in anger and just then his gaze caught Daphne who was watching Essegz.
“Interesting ” Foster muttered with a evil grin on his face.
“Since we can’t seem to choose a beauty for this handsome dude why don’t we play a game” the MC said earning approval from everyone by their loud scream.
“The game played next will be read my lips. An headset each will be placed on your head and I will say a word to you which you will pass on. If some one makes a mistake then you lose” The MC said.
When everything was set, the MC said the word to Charmaine since the starting point began with her.
“I love you” The MC said and though it felt a bit odd saying those words to Ashton, she said it to him.
Ashton who manage to read her lips let out a slow smile before turning to Gwen.
He was about to speak when he had a rethink and said to her instead.
“I h@?? you” he said it for about four to five times before she got what he said.
Is that really what the MC said? Gwen thought as she turn to the MC with a fixed smile.
“He says he loves me” Gwen said choosing to say some thing else.
“The mistake began from our handsome Ashton which got Gwen saying some thing else entirely. Since Charmaine got it right she will get the chance to play the next game with…”
“Erm…can I be excused? You see, I have some thing to get to” Charmaine said.
“Okay this will leave us with Gwen and Ashton” he said and immediately Charmaine went to Daphne who told her that Bridget had left for an important class.
“Let’s leave too” She said pulling Daphne out of the hall.
“But the orientation hasn’t…oh!” Daphne let out when some one bump into her making her fall in the process.
“Are you blind?” Eva yelled as she brush off her clothe like Daphne body will pass on a disease to her.
“Are you okay Daphne?” Charmaine asked as she help her up.
“Bunch of fools!” Eva added as she turn to leave but Charmaine pulled her back.
“Apologise” Charmaine said which got Eva laughing out.
“And who the hell are you?” Eva asked waspishly.
“Her friend” Charmaine replied which got Eva and Astrid laughing.
“Tell her who I am” Eva said to Astrid who began talking.
“This is Eva Brown, the school goddess” Astrid said.
“I will let it slide since you two are new but keep away from me or else I will make you pay” Eva thr_@tened as she turn to leave and immediately Charmaine took hold of her hair pulling her back
“Arrgh!! Let go of me” Eva screamed attracting people’s attention.
“Let go of me!” Eva yelled as she manage to pull Charmaine hair in return but in one swift, Charmaine got her on the floor and began hitting her like a mother does to a child.
“Arrrgh…help me Astrid” Eva yelled but Astrid couldn’t dare. ” Mommy!” Eva yelled as she kept being beaten by Charmaine.

< ᴇᴠᴇɴɪɴɢ >
Feeling drained by the day activities, she set to her new flat.
She had rented the place because it’s close to school and the restaurant she work at.
Pulling out her keys, she opened the door and went in and the first thing she noticed in the room is a suitcase.
“Did Bridget change her mind and decide to board with me?” She muttered as she move towards the suitcase to inspect it.
At that moment the bathroom door open revealing Ashton.
“What are you doing in my home!” The stricken Charmaine yelled at him.
“I should be asking you that. Why are you in my home?” Ashton said in return….
