WRITER’S POV
It early morning in Verney’s city and everywhere is so busy and crowdy as everyone move to and fro on the busy road even the highway is so full of different
And you’ll all know this is sign of..
“Monday morning”the alarm bell on the roadside ticked off:: ding-dong thrice
The traffic warders all stood at alert controlling both cars and people on the busy road and it always a stressful day when it’s MONDAY
But as everyone is so busy on their different ways,
Someone just woke up yawning so bad
“Is it morning already?”the person asked and instead of getting reply…
A cold water was poured on endlessly
“Wake up,crazy girl”someone shouted angrily and
The person opened her eyes
“Is the roof leaking,mom?”she asked standing up immediately the water reached her
Then screamed out
“The world is coming to an end,dear family”she said rushing out with her eyes still closed
Her mom rushed after her
“Be careful,Crystal!”she said calling to her but it too late as
Her legs is caught in between the steps and before you know what,she rolled down the stairs
“Oh doom!”she shouted
Her father rushed to her
“Are you okay,dear?”he asked her
She sat up
“Leave okay or not okay dad”she said and stretched on the floor
Then screamed again
“The world is ending soon even maybe today”she said
Her granny walked to her
“Why that,miss craziness?”she asked her
She held her hands
“Touch my clothes,granny”she said simultaneously
She touched it
“What’s wrong with it?”she asked not understanding
She turned to her grandpa
“And you,granddad?”she asked him
He too touched her clothes
“It so w€t with cold water and so?”he too asked not believing
She clasped her hands together on her chest
“Our roof especially my own room is not leaking at all but it leaks today making my clothes w€t even dripping”she said
Her dad sighed
“And so what?”he asked
She eyed him
“The roof is leaking which means there’s rain falling right?”she asked
Her granny nodded
“That’s sure cos it not that someone have your craziness that will make the person pour water water from the roof”she answered her
She nodded
“That’s true Granny,I’m the one best in doing such”she said
Grandpa sat down
“So what bring the world ending in all this,miss?”he asked
She stood up
“The rain is so cold,like so cold and icy”she said and started to shake even grit her teeth
Her mom who have been watching her crazy action and stupid sentences suddenly busted out laughing
“Oh gosh,what a crazy daughter of mine!”she said laughing her ass out
They all faced her
“What again?”they asked
She moved to them
“It almost past 8 and she’s still sleeping that’s what pushed me to take some cold water from the fridge and poured it on her only for her to say the world is ending”she said explaining and
The whole family except our silly crazy girl who just hissed cos..
“I didn’t find it funny at all”she said so pissed off and walked inside in a zigzag line
They didn’t stop laughing as the..
“Craziness of Crystal is so uncountable%”they chorused and laughed again
(Truly dears,is the world not ending when rain is now pouring cold water, as in icy water from the sky huh

Outside the King’s cottage,a car I mean a posh car parked and a Hans guy came out with speck in his eyes and he dressed smartly in a suit
He came to the door and knocked
“Morning here”he said
The door opened immediately and a figure came out
“Morning Xavier”the person said
Xavier bowed
“Morning sir King”he said smiling
He pulled him inside
“How are you finding the Monday Morning?”he asked
He smiled brightly
“Oh so great especially for a business man like ME”he said proudly
They both entered the house and he bowed again
“Morning mom and grandparents”he said bowing
They all smiled towards him
“Morning dear Xavier”they said
He was offered a seat
“Where’s that crazy girl?”he asked and
Immediately he said ‘crazy girl’,they all busted out laughing
“Oh crazy indeed even everywhere”her mom said and walked into the kitchen
The bewildered Xavier turned to granny
“What cause the laugh,granny?”he asked
She took time and explained everything to him and he just couldn’t hold in his laughter too as he held unto his cracking ribs and almost peed in his Pants
“Truly world ending huh”he said laughing loud when
Someone peeped out
“Will someone stop laughing before using fart to tear his pants huh?”they all looked up seeing

Her mom rubbed her hair
“So late truly”she said looking at her then eyed
Xavier who understand it
“I’ll take you there,Crystal”he said
She eyed him
“This one you’re calling me by my name,do you wanna sell me?”she asked
Granny scoffed

Grandpa chuckled
“Except the person sign his or her death warrant”he said
Her dad hugged her
“Be a good child,dear”he said
She nodded
“My father told me”she said and they laughed hearing her
Xavier pushed her out
“Is it father told me or telling me?”he asked
She hit his head
“That’s a literature book,stupid”she said as

“Yes we’re,why?”he asked again
She screamed out
“Unbelievable!”she said and
He pulled her
“What’s unbelievable, miss?”he asked when
She jumped up happily
“Crystal King in a school!”she said exclaiming
He covered her mouth
“We’re in a school,crazy not cinema”he said
She nodded with her body shaking
“I’ll calm down,no no I’ll try too”she said trying to suppress herself from screaming again
They entered the principal’s office and a woman stood up seeing them
“Hi Xavier and dear Crystal”she said shaking him
Xavier Bowed
“Morning ma’am”he replied
Crystal laughed sheepishly
“She even know my name,Xavi”she said so happy as
The principal ushered them to..
“Sit down pls”she said to them and
They too sat down
“Thanks ma’am”they chorused
She brought out a file and gave it to Crystal
“Fill this”she said to her
She collected it and filled
“Here ma’am”she said
Xavier smiled
“Oh beautiful writing,dear”he said checking the form
The principal collected it
“Truly beautiful writing, dear”she also said
And stood up checking a cupboard and bring out three slip of papers
“Try this”she said giving her
Crystal collected it and a pen was given to her
“Okay ma’am”she said and turned to
Xavier who smile towards her
“You can do it,honey”he said and
That mesmerized Her cause that’s the..
“First time you’ll call me that,Xavi”she said happily
She moved to a desk and chair and sat down fixing her eyes on the question papers and bite her lips as her eyes read through the questions and she answered it
Inwardly,Xavier prayed
“Do let her make it,Lord!”he said eyeing her
The principal smiled
“It’s well,dear”she said to him
Soon,she was through and came to their place then gave the principal the paper slips with deep sigh
She collected it and went out
“Few minutes pls”she said going out
Xavier held her hands
“Are you okay Crystal?”he asked
She shook her head
“Yes,I’m”she said
As the two was praying silently in their hearts and the door soon opened as the principal walked inside
“Hey dears”she said
They looked up at her
“How’s it?”they both asked
She first frowned and sat down then..
“She make it”she said happily

Crystal just bowed and ran out of the principal’s office and Xavier bowed
“She will start tomorrow,ma’am”he said
She smil led
“Okay Xavier and take care of her,the joy too much”she said and
He nodded then rushed out after her and luckily,she was sitting quietly in the car waiting for him
He drove out speedily and branched to a bridge then parked and holding her hands,he drag her to the steep steps of the bridge then came face to face with a flowing river and
Then holding her cheeks
“You can scream your happiness out now,crazy girl”he said to her and
That did it as she ran towards the river and screamed so loud
“Oh great,I made it and now,Crystal King gonna be in school too!”she said screaming so happily
Xavier just watched as she ran and jumped up happily then splashed water on herself, dig herself in the river then came out again facing him
“The joy is damn much!”she said crying happily
Xavier walked to her in the river and hugged her tight
“I told ya that it a start of something new,honey”he said to her
She couldn’t hold the tears again as it fell freely from her eyes and she whispered Silently
“I Love You,Xavi!”she said looking into his eyes
He glowed inwardly
“I Love You too much,Cristal”he said and
For the first time in forever, they kissed so passionately in the flowing river and no one know who’s damn much happy between the two new lover:the one that get to go to school after a long long years or the one that get to hear the three magic words from a long long time lover
But between the two,there’s a total showdown of happiness widely written on their face
