CHAPTER FOUR

On their way to the squash court a group of girls approached them, wrenley could tell from the smug smile on their face that they only mean trouble.

“ senior Florence, we don’t mean trouble” Jordyn said

“ who asked for your opinion ?”one of the seniors said

“ introduce yourself, newbie, a friend of Jordyn should be welcomed to the family ,right girls” one of them turned to the rest and they both laughed mockingly.

“I’m wrenley connor, I’ll also like you girls to do the same” wrenley said as Jordyn gave have a stern look.

One of the girls raised her hand and landed a slap on her face making wrenley to stagger backwards.

“how dare you question me, you’re now one of my puppet. I’ll keep this one ”Leona took the cash that fell of wrenley’s pocket as they all left. Jordyn quickly helped wrenley up.

“ you should be really careful of what you say to those seniors. I’m really sorry for dragging you into my mess” Jordyn said

“ its fine, I hope this doesn’t continue. Lets keep our distance from them. And am actually sorry for you, it must be hard going through harsh seniors alone” wrenley objected.

“no probs; lets get to the arena instead, we might catch some cutie” Jordyn giggled pulling wrenley.

Mrs. Connor walked into the hotel room stressed and worked up as she bounced on the king sized bed as Mr. Connor followed suit.

“ I just want to sleep like never before” mrs connor said yawning

“we still have lot of work to do bae. And lest I forget I’m cancelling the trip to Zealand, there’s a big deal” mr. connor said non-chanlant

“we can’t cancel again conn, it’s been months and we haven’t seen our girls. It’s not fair, we are parents”

“ who says I don’t know. And beside it’s not like we’re far away from them because we want to. They will understand that we have to cater for their immediate needs” Mrs. Connor forced a smile

“ bae, I know when it comes to you providing for this family you’re the best in it and I understand you but let’s look at it from the other view, we are both far from our children; we have no clue how they feel, think or even how they are coping. I just thought to bring this up” she ended

“ you finally brought it up, you want to resign so you could stay home lazing about all in the name of raising girls that are already teenagers"

“ we aren’t fighting, conn, I’m just concerned about our kids and I hope you realize this. “

“here you go again, using different excuses to block the fact that you badly want to quit” Mrs. Connor sighed in disbelief

“ so you think all this is because I badly want to quit, I need to be present in my children’s life not just financially but as a caring parent will do”

“ so I’m now the villain, we’ve been present for like fourteen years of their life and I think they are just fine alone” “so because they graduated from elementary school to high school they don’t deserve our care and attention or we being physically present in their lives” she argued

“what now! It’s not like we can cater for them if we give them that attention, but if you badly want to quit. I respect your decision and be aware of your very own responsibility also as a parent” mr. connor said and stood.

“ I’ve been trying to bring this topic up, bae, you’ve been really difficult and the moment I finally bring it up. You’re dishing responsibility or should I say sharing!”

“you brought this upon yourself woman, we have been working as partners in this line of job for the past years. Do you think once you leave everything will be like before. Your responsibility will be taken on and I’ll be left to work on my own with some newly…..” mr. connor was saying when their reminder ring

“its time I go visit the manager, we’ll discuss this once I return” he said and left.

Phoebe POV

I was surprised when I sighted Brixton in my class, he was smiling irrationally and he sat down like a gentle man. The moment he step out of the class room I quickly followed him and he was headed to the east wing, The computer suite. Then he faced a screen, like he was used to the environment. I quickly called out to him “ Brixton!”

“ oh… phoebe”

“are you stalking me, you can’t pull out stunt in this school” I said

“I’ve been attending this school since grade six, I don’t owe you an answer. I can choose to be at any school I want to be in. And you have made bullying you a lot easier. No more petty errands---- I now have you to myself” he laughed maliciously.

“you knew I was attending this school, was that why you choose to drop me and not let me ride with the school bus” I asked

“ you aren’t dumb or are you?, from now onwards my orders only. That should be your motto”

“what do you want this time” I said bitterly

“that’s the spirit girl” he touched my chin seductively and then stood tall facing me.

“try joining the girls scout, don’t be too harsh or friendly. That should be accomplished in a few”

This is Brixton
