Linda POV
It's a good Monday, I woke up early happily ready to see my new college. I went to the bathroom and sank myself into the bathtub that is cool and warm.
It's usually prepared by mum, am enjoying the fragrance scent of the flower in my bathwater.
After bathing, I left the bathroom putting on a soft silk towel, one on my body while the other is attached to my head like a turban.
I sat on a chair facing my dressing mirror My caring brother, Lai entered.
"My gorgeous beautiful damsel, hope you slept well?" Lai asked.
He move close to me and sit on a chair,
he hugged me and collected the hairdryer from my hand. He started drying my hair, he applied my hair cream and help me put a hairband in my hair and I'm surprised.
"Lai, where did you see this hair bond?" I asked in surprise
"Hmm, why asking? Can't I buy things for my lovely sister?" He asked and we both burstnto laughter.
"I trust you Lai, but guess you collected it from your girlfriend" I teased and he pinched me
Hmmmmmm no.
"You are just whining me, I went out shopping with Shasha, and she picked it for you. She said the colour will suit your hair and you will like it too" Lai explained.
"Wow, I love her because she always gets me the best,," I said smiling.
I stand and dressed up for school, Lai helped me carry my bag as we both held hands heading to the dining room.

"Mummy, daddy, I will take my leave now. I move close to mom and pecked her.
"Won't you give Dad a peck?" Dad asked jealously
I pecked him and face Lai to collect my bag but he refused to give me.
"Lai, give me my bag, or do you want me to get late for school?" I asked him smiling.

I slide my hand into my pocket and brought out my phone.
"What did you want to do?" Linda asked.
"I want to snap my darling picture in this gorgeous dress" I replied frowning.
"No, don't snap me. You know I don't like that" She begged me but frowned harder.
"You can take your leave," I said holding her tightly.

"Mum, dad bye see you later," Linda said and rushed out of the house.
Linda POV
I quickly rushed out of the house dodging Lai more threat because he will still force me to go to school in my new car.

As I ride through the school gate, I alight and park my bicycle, and face the school.

I don't know the direction to my department, I decided to ask a guy that I saw under a tree, I decided to walk to him but a car entered and splashed water on me. I turn to look at who splashed water in me
I was angry but try to cool myself. I walk to the car which is packed and a guy alighted from it.
