Clubbing
RINA scuttled along the lobby leading to the principal’s office, her heartbeat increasing with a second as she went. Not because she was guilty or something but because she was afraid the principal was about to withdraw her assistance… but why should she?
She shrugged.
Few seconds later, she was at the front of the principal’s office, Principal; Mrs Anika, was boldly written on it.
She raised her right hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” a voice answered, and no mistaking, it was Mrs Anika’s.
Rina breathed out and opened the door, then entered. She saw her swivelling on her seat, her eyes intently fixed on the papers she was writing on.
She studied her, for a woman in her mid fifties, she was still looking beautiful… as always. Slim built and averaged height, looking like she was in her late thirties.
She walked up to her.
“Good day Mrs Anika”, she greeted slightly genuflecting.
Mrs Anika looked up, her glasses perfectly fixed on her nose as usual.
“You sent for me,” Rina added.
“Yes I did,” came the reply, “please sit,” she motioned pointing to a seat adjacent her.
Rina sighed and sat.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Rina?” She called, dropping her pen on the desk and folding her arms.
“Yes Ma’am,” she replied.
“How are you doing?” She smiled.
Rina calmed down, the smile had made her to.
“I’m very fine today Mrs Anika”.
“And your mom?”.
“She is okay”.
“How about your studies? Are you finding any difficulty?”.
Rina racked her brain, thinking.
“Not really, except for the physics, but that not withstanding, I scale through”.
Mrs Anika smiled, she was damn satisfied with her replies, at least she wasn’t spending her money on a dumbass.
She sighed.
“Actually Rina, I will be going on a transfer…”.
Rina gasped.
“What!” She mouthed.
Mrs Anika nodded.
“Yes, I will be transferred in about four weeks time”.
“That is about a month time?” Rina asked, still shocked at the info.
She nodded.
“Exactly. Not to worry dear, I have got you covered”, she pressed on a small button on the desk and a drawer slid out, then she took out a tiny paper and placed it before Rina on the desk.
“That is your receipt covering your fees for the rest of the term”, she said pressing on the button again and the drawer slid back, closing.
Rina gasped as she took the receipt and peeked into it. What! It was actually true, the rest of her fees for the remaining terms cleared, she looked at the woman sitting in front of her.
“I really don’t know how to thank you ma’am, I’m so grateful, thank you so much”, she said, tiny tears dropping from her eyes.
Mrs Anika smiled.
“It’s nothing dear. I’m only telling you this so you have to be aware incase anything comes up while I’m already away”, she butressed.
Rina nodded, cleaning off the little tears from her eyes.
“I understand ma’am, thank you once again”.
“You are welcome. I started it, so let me finish it up”.
Rina smiled.
“Thank you ma”.
“Well you can go now, as for the receipt, I will be submitting it to the bursary”.
Rina nodded.
“I understand ma’am, thank you”, she stood up.
“You are welcome daughter”, and Rina opened the door and left the office ebullient.
My goodness! What was that? Holy moly! All fees for the rest of the term cleared, just like that. It was only just a term left though, but she would finally be completing high school without stress, wow, she looked up and joined her hands together, thanking heavens for the blessings.
She happily skipped along, heading back to Miss Alisha’s office.

Club Xhrine
The hip-hop songs blaring from the speakers were so defeaning that Terry had to poke his fingers into his ears, trying to stop himself from going deaf.
He glanced at Raghav who just rested on the royal blue Bugatti Veyron, tapping his leg and nodding his head to the rhythm of the music.
“Seemed you enjoying this man,” he said laughing.
Raghav nodded and continued with his dance, swinging his arms in addition.
They were at the parking lot as they had only driven in few seconds ago.
“I see,” Terry said, “the noise is defeaning,” he added.
Raghav turned to him, what nonsense.
“What were you thinking before dressing up and leaving for a night clubbing, to meet a quiet environment?” He let out a mocking laugh, “you must be joking”.
Terry laughed.
“I so gonna enjoy this tonight, you are finally leaving tomorrow Maharana”, he winked.
Raghav looked around, a lot of girls had formed crowd around them, all wanting to push their way through the guards to get to them. He sighed and ran his hands through his wavy hair.
“I love you Prince Raghav,” a lady shouted from the distance and he turned towards the voice, he scoffed, what a skinny girl.
Another blew him a kiss, somewhere among the crowd, a lady passed out, and some guards packed her away.
Raghav scoffed, what nonsense.
Terry laughed as soon as he saw the girl being taken away.
“Anymore second wasted here, someone would go mad,” Terry said still laughing.
Raghav scoffed. He stood straight and smoothened his clothes, he was putting on a white hoodie sweater, a white shorts and white canvass. He began walking along, towards the building, Terry followed behind, wearing same outfits with his friend.
The girls began swooning in, the guards trying their best to keep them off, it was like a terrible fight.
Seconds later they were already in the building, a VIP table had already been reserved for them, they sat down.
All eyes were now on them, a royal Prince was now in their midst.
Raghav blew a kiss to the crowd and a very defeaning cheer followed it. The DJ instantly changed the music to a more befitting one, one that befits the grand entrance of a noble human, the cheers increased.
“You talk about the noise outside, what would you say about this?” Raghav asked, he hardly could hear himself and hoped Terry heard him.
Terry laughed, shaking his head.
“My Prince, if I was complaining before, that means I have not started.”
Raghav relaxed more comfortably into his seat and looked around, everywhere as usual was dim lit. Dim coloured lights graced everywhere, the dancing floor was full of nude women dancing and showing off their stuffs.
The wine at his best approached their table, and the guards help set it.
They began sipping wine.
“Hmm”, Terry nodded as he took a look at the bottle of the wine.
“Good?” Raghav asked.
“Great!” He replied giving it a thumbs up. “Like I said, I really need to enjoy this clubbing tonight, since you would be finally leaving tomorrow”, he added.
Raghav nodded, looking towards the dancing floor, Terry followed his eyes. He laughed.
“Oh come on my Prince, don’t tell me you are mesmerized by those things tonight?” He asked still laughing.
Raghav nodded.
“Maybe not”, he replied still looking.
Terry laughed, he was actually mesmerized, he knew it, he knew his friend. He wanted that tonight.
“Well about Bella”, he said.
Raghav turned as he sipped some wine.
“My Bella… what about her?” He gave out a dry smile.
Terry sighed.
“She practically came begging for me to plead with you to let her go with you,” he said.
Raghav groaned.
“Gosh! Terry, we have been on this for the past few weeks now, I don’t mince words, and I don’t go back on it. She should go to blazes for all I care”, he sipped more, finishing off what was remained in the tumbler.
The guard on standby refilled it immediately.
Terry shrugged.
“You can even have her… infact any man can have her if they so desire, I’m done with her. What the hell was she thinking? Jeez!” He sipped, “that I was gonna marry her? She can’t actually carry the heir of Shimla kingdom”, he shook his head, “she can’t”.
“Calm down my Prince, she isn’t going anywhere with you, she isn’t”, Terry said afraid he was beginning to loose his tempers.
Raghav sighed as he slowly sipped now, Terry racked his brain for some other topics to talk about, then he saw Raghav looking towards the dance floor again.
“Should the guards ring them Maharana?” He asked. Raghav nodded. Terry smiled and turned to the guard standing by.
“Call in the bitches,” he said.
The guard bowed and signalled to the other two patrolling distance away, they instantly got the signal and left.
