Chapter 4

Aliyah's Pov:

I picked paced around the room impatiently with a packet of sanitary napkin in my hand and a calendar too.

I bit my lips and fingers in nervousness.

What the hell is going on?

Today is the 28th and yet I haven't seen my period huh?

This is so unusual.

What could be the problem?

Is this any form of infection or what?

I counted my fingers and scratched my head again and again.

This is so confusing....

It's already due time so what could be the problem???

Many questions kept running through my mind but I don't even know who to talk to in the very big house.

My cell phone rang aloud and I went to get it dropping the calendar and sanitary napkin.

Pearl's Pov:

I scanned around the classroom with my eyes as the teacher left.

Where could Aliyah be?

I packed up my books and carried them as I walked out of the classroom..

Where the hell did she go to in the first place?

She didn't even come to the classroom earlier for lectures.

I walked straight to the library.

And to my greatest surprise,,,, i saw her fast asleep on the desk.

"Sleeping??" I scoffed in disbelief as I walked to her.

Dropping my books on the desk,,,, I tapped her softly.

"Aliyah! Aliyah!!"I called as she yawned tiredly.

"Wake up sleepy head" I rolled my eyes as she managed to open her eyes stretching herself.

Her hair was already messy and her eyes swollen.

"Oh Pearl.... Am so fvcking tired" She coughed slightly.

"Really? Did you know that the geography class have come and gone?" I asked as she gasped.

"What? Oh my gosh!" She quickly sprang up and turned to leave.

"And where are you going?" I cut in sharply.

"To class of course" She snapped.

"Oh please.... Come off it girlfriend,,, didn't you hear me,,,, the class is gone already" I added as she sat on the chair again.

"I didn't even know when I slept off here" She yawned again.

"What the hell is wrong with you these days Aliyah? You know I just noticed this tiredness of yours getting worse everyday" I wondered.

"I don't know Pearl but I feel so nauseous and tired and sleeping almost at every given chance that I get" She complained bitterly.

"Have you told your mom about this?" I asked as she shook her head in disagreement.

"Not yet.... You know my parents right? They are the always busy set of people" She gulped.

"I think it's high time you let your mom know about this so that you can be taken to the hospital and checked on to at least find out the sickness you are suffering from" I advised as she nodded.

"You are right!" She mumbled.

"Uhmm.... Am so famished,,, let's go grab a bite at the cafeteria" I yawned hungrily.

"Alright then" She said as she picked up her bag putting her books in the bag.

We walked straight to the cafeteria.

"Let's order for frittata" I said knowing fully well it's both our favorite.

"Oh no...no... I don't want frittata" She said sharply as I turned to stare at her.

"What? Why not,?" I asked as she pouted her mouth.

"I don't like that.... Ew!" She squeezed her face as I became stunned.

"You don't like frittata?" I asked almost at the same time and she nodded.

"Yes Pearl.... I'd rather not have that" She snapped.

"Aliyah are you sure you are ok?" I furrowed my eyebrows as she gulped.

"Yes but frittata...no way!" She said.

"But you used to force me to take frittata with you... What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing.... I just don't want you to mention frittata" She shrugged.

"Weird really" I shook my head.

"I'd go for omelette" She said as I almost screamed.

"Omelette?? Beaten eggs??" I gasped.

"Yeah.... That's what I want" She replied.

"Gosh.... What the hell has come over you girl? No matter how picky you can become not to the extent of choosing omelette... Gross!" I sharply replied.

"Please just get that" She said as I shrugged.

"Fine..." I nodded.

Arthur's Pov:

I kept scrolling down looking at her pictures.

She's such a beauty!

I don't know but I can't get her off my mind ever since my encounter with her.

"Hey dude" Joel's voice smacked me out of my thoughts as I turned to him sharply.

"Yeah...." I replied.

"Won't you go for the basketball practice today?" Joel asked as I shook my head.

"I will but not yet" I snapped.

Then his eyes caught with the laptop.

"And who is the new catch" He nudged me as I quickly closed the laptop.

"What are you talking about?" I turned my face away.

"Cut that off bro.... She's really pretty but you know Natasha won't allow that" He added as I turned my face away.

"I don't give a fvck" I muttered under my breath.

Smiles escape my lips as I thought of her again.

Aliyah's Pov:

I was packing my makeup into the kit when my nanny walked in.

"Child.... Dinner is ready" old nanny Tina said as I smiled.

"I'll be there in a jiffy nanny" I said as the nanny walked away.

I quickly packed the stuff as I rushed out of my room hurrying downstairs.

I really don't understand why am becoming such a foodie.

Mommy and Daddy were already eating at the dinning.

"Come join us sweetheart" they chorused as I smiled.

I made calculable steps but then I felt a little dizzy so I collapsed.

****************"

The next time I opened my eyes was in a hospital.

I was already lying on the hospital bed .

Mom and dad were all peering into my face and that made me confused the more.

Dad looked extremely angry while Mom was sad as tears streamed down her cheeks as dad held a paper.

They were both giving me a questioning look.

I was so confused.

"Who is responsible for that bastard in your womb??" Dad growled at me as I gasped.

"My womb?" I touched my stomach as I popped my eyes in shock.......

TBC.....
