Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7
Paulinaâs POV
âThank you very much dearâ I said to him when the car came to an halt in front of my house and Frank came out of it first to open the door for me.
âMy humble pleasureâ He said.
âDo you wanna come in? â I asked him.
âNot..now but next timeâ He replied almost stammering.
âOk then, so weâll call it a night now right? â
âHmm yeah. See you in school tomorrowâ He said and waved at me then he turned to go.
Oh no! He shouldnât be such a boring boy.
âFrankâ I called his name softly and when he turned to me, I hugged him. Iâve been longing for this, Iâve been yearning to touch a guy this perfect. I heard his heart beating too fast or is there anyone beating a drum nearby?
After a while, I disengaged from him and he smiled awkwardly. I waved at him as I watched him walked to his car and soon it drove away.
Aw! He made my first day at school today.
I smiled continuously as I walked into the house.
? âSheâs fine. Thanksâ
My aunt hung up her call.
âPaulina! â She beckoned to me.
âAunt Bella! â I exclaimed and embraced her so closely and tightly.
âDid a guy drop you now and I think I saw the both of you huggingâ My aunt said when when we disengaged.
âYes, it feels so good and I felt so ontop of the world auntâ I said..almost crying. She pulled me closer to herself again and patted me on my back.
âI told you it was the best option, didnât I? â
âYes, you didâ I responded and as I let the tears flowly down my cheeks.
âCome on, you donât have to cryâ My aunt said and wiped off the tears, I smiled as she did so.
âWhen you werenât around, your mom called to ask of your welfare.Iâm sure sheâll be very happy when she finds out that things didnât remain the sameâ My aunt said.
âIâll try to put a call to her before I sleep offâ I said.
âOk good.Now come and have dinner. Itâs the little celebration we can have nowâ Aunt Bella said and I nodded happily.
After having dinner, I went to my room to pull off my uniform and have a shower before changing into night wears then read some novels overnight, the novels Frank gave to me.
I layed on my bed horizontally and brought the books out of my bag.., Just then my phone rang.
Unknown number? How could it be? I already deleted most peopleâs phone numbers bâcos I was beginning a new life.
? âHelloâ I said into it, after picking it up.
âHello paulinaâ ? The caller said, it was a male and the voice was kinda familiar.
? âYeah, hello. Who am I into? â I asked.
âYou deleted my number? â ? He asked.
Oh now! I think I know who it is..
âFreddieâ ? He said.
? âOkayâ I responded sheepishly..
âI visited your home but your mom told me you travelled somewhere really far.. â ?
? âYeahâ
âYou couldnât even tell me Paulina, you should have told me you would be leaving Dream High Schoolâ ? He said.
? âWhy do I need to? â
âSo you still donât care about me Paulina?â ?
? âNever have iâ I replied, rolling my eyes as if he could see me.
âWhere do you stay now and how is your new school over there? â ? He asked.
? âOh Freddie, these questions you are asking me, you actually donât need answers to themâ I said.
âYouâre still hurting meâ ? he said.
? âYou are hurting yourself Freddieâ I said already fed up of the boring dialogue.
âIâm the only one who likes you, are you supposed to pay me back this way for liking you this much? â ?He said.
? âAnd for your information; here in my school and where I stay now, guys are almost dying to see me. I donât even need a love alarm to tell me the number of guys that likes me. So good night Freddie, I have something very important to do now. Byeâ I concluded and hung up the call.
I huffedâŠ
âSo Iâll be starting with Paradise on earth â I said to myself as I searched out the book.
My phone rang again, I noticed it was the same number thatâs just called now, Freddie! I then silenced it. He should please for goodness sake, Free me.
He called Again- Oh my God, I switched the phone off.
My secret, my little big secret.
I had a plastic surgery, I had to.
I wasnât still ugly five days ago (I had a successful plastic surgery five days ago).
So.. I left Dream high school for good. Do you expect me to stay there and continue to be mocked?
No one wanted to be my friend, not to talk of having a boyfriend. The guys turned me into their mocking â toy, the second lalorona..well except for Freddie; he was different, he never mocked me, he usually say these words âBeauty is in the eyes of the beholderâand some other beautiful quote which Iâm sure were two keep me alright but I wasnât. Among more than a thousand guys, he was the only one that finds me beautiful. Does that even make sense?
Dream High school has been hell for me, I spend most of my time in the school library because less students were there to make me feel bad â I wasnât actually the school Liberian.
I couldnât continue to live that ugly way, Aunt Bella, my momâs favourite sister brought up the plastic surgery suggestion although I had thought of it often too. My mom agreed without hesitating, I mean whose mother would want to see her grown up daughter have no boyfriend at an adult age of eighteen?
So.. I had the surgery and moved on to live with my aunt because she stays far away from my momâs place, far away from were Iâve been seen by people. If I didnât go, people would know recongize and know that I did plastic surgeries. I donât even want the walls to know about it, itâs my little big secret.
