Eric’s Pov:
I watched with keen interest. Who could she be, huh?
“Davis” I called the guard in front of me and he turned from his seat to look at me.
“My prince” he bowed.
I looked at the lady who was walking deeper into the school compound.
If not for the fact she was with her mother, I’d have sent for her immediately..
“I want you to make enquiries on that lady. Know who she is” I said, hungrily, my eyes not leaving the lady’s bouncing @$$.
Ahh. I couldn’t wait to screw it.
“Yes, my prince. Consider it done” replied the guard and I smiled.

Danica’s Pov:
Wow! The school was damn so big, I couldn’t believe it.
As grandma and I walked pass the gate, I felt a little nervous.
It looked just like a mansion on it’s own, ,pretty and rich looking students moving around. Gosh! Do I even fit in here?
Grandma and I stopped and asked for directions to the principal’s office and taking about two separate stairs, we finally got to the big round office.
The glasses were transparent and revealed the principal on his seat.
If not for the fact I was with grandma, I’d have felt so scared and shy to go In.
Grandma opened the door and led the way into the office, while I followed timidly.
“Good morning, sir”
“Good morning, Ma’am. Please, take a seat” grandma and the principal exchanged pleasantries as we got to his table.
We sat next to each other, opposite the big table, covered with files, books and…so many items.
“Good morning, sir” I also greeted,warmly.
“Good morning, Miss. What can I do for you, please?” He asked and grandma looked at me, trying to tell me to go ahead.
“Um….actually”, I dipped my hand into my purse and brought out the admission letter.
“I’d taken the scholarship exams few weeks ago and luckily, I….I passed. This is my results, sir”.
I stretched out the envelope to him and he adjusted his glasses before collecting it.
He opened and went through it and an “oh” escaped his mouth.
“Danica Williams” he mumbled with a nod, then dropped the letter on the desk.
“I think….your file should here…somewhere”, he said as he began going rifling some files on the desk.
Grandma and I just watched quietly.
“Yeah…found it!” He mumbled as he brought out a particular file and opened it on the table.
“Okay. You’ll need to sign this” he pushed the file to me, with a pen and I scrutinized it before picking the pen.
“Congratulations, miss. This is a once in a life time opportunity” he said as I filled my details in the file.
“You know, Royal High doesn’t really give scholarships because the students hate to mingle with uh…you know?” He paused and adjusted his glasses.
“People of the lower class” he added and I creased an eye brow at him.
“But, trust me, you’ll enjoy your time here.
“Everything you need will be provided to you – bag, uniform, shoes, books, everything. So, you don’t need to worry about…buying a single thing”.
Wow! That sounded really nice.
“Does that mean she can commence classes today?” Grandma asked.
“Yes, yes. Of course. You…you’re her mother, right?”
He asked.
“No. Grandmother”.
I looked up at him to read the surprise on his face.
“Grandmother??” He scoffed.
“Wow!! You’re way too young to be a grandmother”
Hmph.
I heaved when I rounded up the details on the file.
“I’m done, sir” I said as I moved it back to him.
“Okay. You came with passports?” He asked and I shook my head negatively.
“Aww. Okay, then. I’ll give you the grace of today. But make sure you come with it tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay, sir. Thank you”.
He added some things in the files, then looked up at me with a smile.
“Congratulations, miss. You’re good to go” he said and I felt my heart leap for joy.
Ahh?! Thank goodness.
“Thank you, sir. Thank you” I bowed a little.
Gosh! I felt so happy, but tried as much as possible not to show it because of grandma.
Somehow, I felt she might not be happy about this.
“So…..what about the uniforms? And books? And…..”
“Yes. They’ll be provided right away” he replied to grandma and picked up the landline on the desk.
He seemingly placed a call through it as placed it on his ear.
“Yes, Joyce. Please,come to my office right away.
“Yes, thank you”.
And he dropped the line.
“Actually” he turned back to me, clasping his palms together.
“We’re short of one book, but they’ll be arriving at exactly 10;30. So, by 11 a.m, you should be here”.
“Okay…so, I should come back to the office by 11a.m.?” I asked, trying to sound as polite as possible.
“Yes, dear. Exactly”.
Few seconds, a lady in suit walked in.
“Joyce” the principal called on seeing her.
“This is one of the scholarship students, and she’s here to commence classes today. Please, get her a bag, uniforms, and the available books. And when she’s done dressing up, take her to her class – the senior grade”
“Okay sir. Come with me” the lady said polity and grandma and I stood up.
“Thank you so much, sir. We really appreciate” Grandma said to him.
“My pleasure. You’re welcome, ma’am”.
“Thank you, sir”.
“Yeah. Welcome to Royal High”.

Grandma and I followed the lady our of the office and she insisted on waiting for me while I go get changed.
I agreed and proceeded with the lady who made me walk for a very long while before coming to what looked like another office.
Yes. It was another office.
The lady was quiet and didn’t say a word as she walked over to a particular spot and brought out a nylon. Oh! There was a uniform in it.
“Here. This should be your size” she said as she handed the nylon to me.
I opened it, brought out the dazzling uniform and she stared away while I put it on.
“I’m done, ma’am”,I drew her attention when I was done, and she turned to look at me.
“Yeah, perfect” she mumbled as she came close and helped me with my collar.
Wow! The uniform looked so great on me – a high waist skirt with stripes, with a long sleeve.
It was so beautiful and I couldn’t believe I was really putting on the Royal uniform.
“And….these would be your shoes” the lady said as she returned with a pair of black shoes and stockings.
Hm.
“Thank you” I beamed and collected them from her, putting them on immediately.
Oh my gee! I felt like crying. I was gradually looking like a student of Royal High.
She walked over to a session and took out. a pretty pink bag. Wow!
She opened it and loaded some books in it.
“Your time table is in here. And later in a day, a student would be assigned to show you round the school. There’s a particular book missing for now. Its….”
“Yes, the principal asked me to come for it by 11” I interrupted her in excitement and she smiled.
“Okay, then. I’ll lead you to your class. Come with me” she started walking out of the office and I smiled sheepishly for a while.
This was a dream come true…..
I kept smiling to myself as I followed her out of the office and after a long walk, we met with grandma again.
“Granny”, I beamed and ran into her arms.
There weren’t much students around and thank goodness, the lady was patient enough to wait.
“Oh, dear. You’re looking so beautiful” granny cooed as she stroke my hair.
I found myself blushing.
“Thank you so much, granny. For everything. For giving me this opportunity. I’ll….I’ll never forget it” I said with a rueful smile and she touched my cheeks.
“Just be careful, okay? Try as much as possible avoid the royal family” she said in a whisper.
“Don’t get into trouble, do your best to focus in class, okay?” She lectured like it was going to be my first time going to school.
I couldn’t help but chuckle at it.
“Okay, granny. I’ll keep everything in mind. Thanks a lot”.
I turned and looked st the lady who stood with her hands crossed.
“I’ll….I’ll be on my way now. You can go home with my bag. Um…..the money I brought from….yesterday’s littlest work is on the table in my room. You can get some foodstuffs with it.
Thanks a lot, granny. I love you” I gave her a peck.
“Love you too, dear. Hurry up”
I gave her a parting hug and finally ran to meet the young lady.

Authoress Chi Pov ??
Hanuel was extremely bittered about Danica attending the royal school, but seeing how determined she was, she knew she couldn’t stop her anymore.
She didn’t want to tell her the truth, because she felt the truth might hurt her. So,she just permitted it.
Besides, her daughter – Kim – would be out of jail in a few days. And as soon as that happens, they’d all be leaving the city together. So, either ways, Danica only had a few days to attend the Royal School. And that was the only reason she permitted her.

Nathan’s Pov:
“Okay, sure. I’ll be there soon” I concluded on the phone before ending the call.
“Gosh! Seriously, Nathan?? I can’t believe you driving me to school, yet acting like a ghost the whole time” Mabel whined and I rolled my eyes.
“Come on. Just keep the phone away – at least, for a few seconds”.
“Geez! Mabel, is this what I get for driving you to school? You didn’t ask for this, remember?”I scolded and she frowned
“Whatever. You can make a million calls if you want to” she rolled her eyes and turned away, and I chuckled.
I was about making another call, when a call interrupted me.
Huh? From the principal.
“Why is he calling me?” I mumbled as I pressed the receiver.
“Nathan” he called coldly.
G©sh! I hate it when he addresses me by just my name, like I’m his son or something.
“Good morning, Mr Vee”, I grumbled and itched my nape.
“Good morning. Why have you been absent from school for days now?” He asked.
Oh! Geez!? I should’ve known.
”I’ve been really busy, Mr Vee. But….”
“I want you in my office today – at 11 a.m” he cut me off and my eyes dimmed.
Wait…what?
“Mr Vee, I….”
“No excuses, prince Nathan. 11 a.m. and that’s it. Thank you”
And he ended the call.
