Kelvin quickly hid under the bed when he heard Laura's voice. He totally knows what that calls for. Laura stormed into the room but froze in her steps and unconsciously dropped the bag on the floor at the sight which met her eyes. The room was turned upsidedown with clothes scattered all over the bed and the floor. Her study table was no different with books scattered here and there.
"Oh, my God, Kelvin!!!!!", she screamed, almost in tears.Upon hearing the screams,Mrs Amy rushed out of the kitchen and stood at the hall;gazing up the stairs.
" What is it, Laura? Is everything okay up there?",she shouted, frightened by the scream."No, mum, my room is totally a mess!", she replied. Amy chuckled without uttering any further words and continued her chores.
Laura slowly strolled into the room in search of the culprit. Kelvin hid as quietly as he could without any sound, displaying a satisfactory smile. Laura checked through the wardrobe and the washroom but couldn't find him. Just when she was returning from the washroom, she saw Kelvin's exposed feet at the right side of the bed without his knowledge. A mischievous smile suddenly formed on her face and she gave a faint giggle. Laura crept towards him as quite as possible; not exposing herself or intentions. All Kelvin could feel was a warm hand on his feet followed by an unexpected drag from where he hid.
"Here you are, got you", Laura exclaimed, cheerful."Ouch, Laura, let go off me. I didn't do anything",he screamed.
"Really? So why is my room like this? ", she queried as she continued dragging him around with a chuckle.
"Ouch, Laura..., you're hurting me", he cried.
Mrs Amy slightly shook her head with a giggle,"These kids", she mumbled on hearing their giggles and screams.
Laura finally let go off Kelvin's feet and dropped next to him on the floor , cheerful. They both chuckled heartedly, breathless;facing the roof.
Laura was suddenly silent, gazing at the roof, blank. Stroke by the sudden silence from his sister's end, Kelvin looked down at her to find out the reason; only to find her spacing out." Hey, Laura, are you alright?", he queried, quite worried."Yeah, why do you ask", she mumbled, staring at him.
" You don't look that cheerful to me and I've never seen you suddenly down like this. Why, did something happen at school?"
Laura gave a faint smile and sat up making Kelvin to also adjust himself up, facing her.
"You know you can share your worries with me even though I'm troublesome and carefree but I'm not heartless and senseless ", Kelvin added."Hey, don't say that, you're my perfect kid bro...",she replied with a chuckle, ruffling her hand through his hairs.
Laura sighed, holding his brother's hand," Here's it, I had a little fight with these bully guys at school today because they're always bullying Ivy and Lupita for whatever reason I don't know. This really gets on my nerves and I don't know how best to solve this", she explained, depressed.Kelvin smiled and pulled her into a hug,"It's okay,Laura. I know you're very intelligent and will in no time find solution to that", he mumbled." Thanks, Kelvin ",said Laura,cheerful.
" But hey, there's no way you're getting out of here without clearing this mess, kid bro ", she added with a chuckle and trod off to the washroom." But Laura.... ", he cried.
"No buts young man. It should be done before I get out there ",Laura shouted from the washroom.Kelvin roared in frustration with a pouted face and started cleaning up, whining. Laura peeped at him through the door with a satisfactory smile and retrieved back in to wash down.
THE ROBERTS' MANSIONSupper was finally over and everyone had already retrieved to their respective rooms, attending to their personal works.Mya was attending to some documents from work and Laura was as well finishing up her assignment while Kelvin was busily playing a video game. The piercing shouts and laughter from his end flooded Laura and Mya's room like the rains causing them to roar, frustrated. Kelvin's room was in between Mya and Laura's room.Laura dropped her pen wolfishly, storming off to Kelvin's room. Just when she got out, she saw Mya also approaching Kelvin's room with a messy hair and a wanly look. They both sighed with a faint smile, sightly shaking their heads when their eyes met and pushed the door opened together." Gosh, Kelvin!!!!! ", they shouted and he flinched, turning to the door." Damn, Mya, Laura....you startled me""Really? Guess what, we'll do worse than this if you keep on disturbing the whole house like this
The whole class was startled by the deafening noise that shuttered the silent class from the thumping of the book on the desk by Ben. Ivy and Lupita trembled, gazing at the direction of the source of the sound, unblinking. The rest of the class glazed and turned back to their various activities after noticing it was Ben. No one was ready to put themselves in their troubles except Laura who glared at them pained. Naomi and Alixes tapped her shoulders to calm her down on noticing the look on her face and how she was angrily vibrating."Hey, keep you're cool, girlfriend. Why do you always want to mingle in the issues of those worms. I guess you're now the number one member on their wanted list and will never spare you when they get the chance ", Alxies mumbled, taut."Keep those lectures to yourself for now, Alixes. I've got to skin some people who never learn their lessons easily alive now", answered Laura with an unreadable expression and strolled off to Ivy and Lup
Mrs. Park with a shocked and worried gaze, scanned Ben and Laura's face, "Oh, goodness", she cried astonished by the bruises on their faces. "What happened to your face? why those bruises?".Ben and Laura's face immediately went numb, wearing a blank look, befuddled. Ben faintly cursed, "Gosh, you're such a bitch, Laura. I so curse the day you were admitted in this school". He quickly turned his gaze to Fred and Patrick with an appealing look, seeking their assistant out of the mess he found himself.Alixes swiftly glanced at Laura and slowly buried her head on the desk with a faint whisper as she scratched her hairs, nervous." My days!, Laura, you're definitely done".Laura glanced around with a brood look; glared at Ben with a sly grin, cursing him underneath her breath, "Damn you, jerk!!, wish I could strangle the living day light out of you here and now. I wouldn't have been in this mess if not of you. I so hate to lie".Mrs. Park,who for th
MRS PARK'S OFFICE" I can't do this with him, Mrs. Park. It's quite impossible; maybe Alixes can or something but not me", Laura's voice echoed from the office.Alixes swiftly turned to her with a pleading and astonished gaze." What? Me? Nah, nah, hell no not me, please. Don't send me to an early grave, girlfriend "Laura took a quick glance at her and shook her head, ignoring her, " Mrs Park, please, help me out. This is like sending an antelope into a lion's den."" Sorry, Laura but everything had already been planned and you guys are the best characters for that role. I think we're done talking about this now. Kindly excuse me, I got a lot to take care of over here, please"She ended, showing her the door with a faint smile." But....(sighs)I guess is of no use. Let's get out of here, Alixes"." Laura...""I said let's go!",She swiftly cuts her off, pulling her along as they exit the office."Hey, try and do something....
It was 3:55pm and school was over. Alixes sat in her desk,her eyes fixed on Ben and his friends, unblinking as they strolled out; chatting and laughing their hearts out while Laura packed her books back in her bag."Why will he like to meet Laura when they're like cat and mouse_never meet eye to eye. What's he up to?",she mumbled in her thoughts, befuddled.Laura sighed in such a relaxed manner, picking up her bag as she rose to her feet."Gosh, finally! I'm all done now. Come on, Alixes, I need to make a call now since I won't be leaving anytime soon else mum will be worried."But Alxies still sat there deaf, lost in thoughts. Laura stared at her wondering what she was thinking; so lost,"Is everything alright with her?",she mumbled, quite worried. "I guess I need to find out what is going on with her"She drew closer to her and tapped her shoulder,"Hey, girlfriend, are you okay?""Oh, my God, Laura!! _you scared me to death", she shouted, startled.
Mrs Amy was as usual, busy in the kitchen making dinner when Kelvin rushed down into the kitchen, cheerful. Mrs Amy glanced at his face and smiled, turning back to her chores."Oh, you're here. Sit over the table, I'll bring your milk".He nodded, glancing around with quite a disappointed look and sat in one of the chairs by the table."Laura is not yet in?", he mumbled, playfully brushing his hand on the table.Amy chuckled and settled opposite him with a smile, gently placing the milk on the table."Awwn, now I know why you're wearing that look. Come on, (cubs his cheeks)don't be so disappointed. She'll just be a little late today, huh?".Kelvin nodded, gloomy. Amy tickled him and he laughed, mumbling, "Mum....Stop, it's tickling ""Good, you finally laughed. You look more handsome in that smile", mumbled Amy with a chuckle."But I miss her already " Kelvin cried. Amy sharply sighed, brushing her hand through his hairs and
MR. ROBERT'S OFFICEMr. Belvis Roberts, Laura's father stood up from his desk, quite stressed after attending to a pile of documents on his desk. He called his secretary and ordered her to cancel the rest of his meetings."Good, thank you. Bye", he dropped the line and strolled over to a table opposite the door. He took his cup of coffee and trod back to his desk. Just when he was about to settle back in his chair, a strong wind from no where blew and Laura's picture frame on his desk fell to the floor, scattering the pieces of its glass all over the floor. He had the picture frames of his family, Amy, Mya , Laura and Kelvin decorated on his desk in such a way that it's quite impossible to fall off easily. Mr. Roberts gazed down at the frame in awe. "Laura? How is this possible? What's happening?", he mumbled nervously. SCHOOLFred quickly rushed to the door to find out who it was. He tremble
Mrs Amy sat on the sofa with teary eyes as she gazed down at her son who laid on the sofa with his head resting on her laps. She gently caressed his hair while she kept humming softly to him, looking all devastated and depressed. Her mind racing in space. It's been almost an hour without any news of her daughter's whereabout. A tear dropped down her eyes, she sniffed and swiftly wiped it off with her hand. After realizing Kelvin was fast asleep, she took a quick glance at her phone next to her if she had missed any call but still had none. She gently adjusted Kelvin's head on one of the pillows on the sofa and stood up as quite as she could, not waking him up. She sighed, glanced at Laura's picture on the table and trod off to the kitchen to get some water. Just then, her phone rang. She hurriedly rushed and picked it up; it was Mya."Mya? what's going on?Have you found her?", she stuttered but trembled at the sobering tone over the phone. "What is it, Mya? Talk please"
