2 Chapter 2 What's his main reason?

A knock on the door woke me up. I rolled on bed severally but when the person didn't stop knocking, my eyes finally flew open. 

'Ooh, who could that be?' My inner self grumbled.

"Who is there?" I asked but when I got no reply, I hesitantly stood up and went to open the door.

"Ooh, nanny it is you," I said startled.

"Why are you still sleeping at this hour of the day when you know that you are going to resume today," She scolded.

"I guess I forgot to set alarm," I said as I pointed to the digital clock which was on top of a table beside my bed.

"Anyways, your dad said that you should get prepared, you will be leaving within an hour," She told me and I suddenly became scared.

"Okay but hope he isn't furious?!" I asked.

"No he isn't, so don't take too long to get ready. if not he might get furious," She smiled elfishly and left.

'Okay Jessy let's go,' I told myself as I dashed into the bathroom.

When I was done, I wore the cloth I had prepared and styled my hair into two, leaving some to fall at my side.

I sighed contented with what I saw when I looked in the mirror then I went down to have breakfast.

When I arrived at the parlour, I saw my dad in the dining reading the newspaper as usual.

"Good morning Dad." I greeted and he dropped the papers and looked in my direction.

"Hope you slept well?" He asked and nodded as I sat beside him.

The place stayed silent as he kept his gaze fixated on the newspapers while I kept mine on him trying to figure out what was going through his mind but when I was fed up with the odd silence that followed I forced myself to say out what I had been hesitant to ask for a long while.

"Dad, what is your main reason for changing my school?" I asked and he gazed at me. 

I knew he had always done things that I have never wanted in the past but I was still in wonder of why he wanted my school to be changed when he was the one who choose my current school for me and he had been contented with it.

He has always loved that school, so I was still wondering why he made this decision.

He looked at me for a while before holding my hands.

"I just want the best for you," He said and my brows creased.

'What did he mean by that?' 

He waited for a while before he continued and I also waited patiently for his reply.

"There are influential people there, that is why I want you to be there now that my business is booming," He said and I gazed into his eyes. As I saw the sincerity in them, I felt overwhelmed.

'Sometimes he is caring and most times he is not,' I thought and I smiled to myself feeling pleased.

I always felt like he is too grumpy, harsh and boring but right now just with one thing he said. I was so damn happy! Or maybe because this was the first time he was saying something like this and being this sweet.

And now that I thought of it, his intentions are pure and he is kind of caring: not as bad as I thought.

Changing to that school would make me associate with more influential people because just by reallocating here {VGC} when I was 5yrs, I met Belinda a very known SAN daughter.

Only rich people reside around here, we wouldn't be able to even afford a house here, if not for our family house.

"Jessica," Nanny called breaking my train of thought.

"Yes."

"Can you come and help over here?" She asked as her sweet voice vibrated around the room.

"Of course nanny," I said as I stood up and went to meet her in the kitchen.

Nanny Stella has been with me all my life and she is part of me. Whenever the thought that one day she might leave crosses my mind. I usually wish that that day never comes and that she never leaves us. And even though that is a selfish request, I never stop wishing for it because without her I don't think I can breathe.

After having breakfast. I put some important things in my bag and entered the car. I decided to call Belinda since I was doing nothing apart from looking at the time and asking my dad how close we were to the college.

J: Are you already in school.

B: Yes and you?

J: I am on my way but I am feeling excited. The feeling is sweet and frustrating. I just wanna fly there; now I wish I could turn into a bird so that I could fly over there and get these damn mixed emotions out of my soul.

B: Why won't you, this is most people's dream and besides if I were you I will feel the same.

What she said was right, Jk college is one of the biggest schools in the Country.

It is most people's dream but the fees are large, I wasn't surprised about Belinda coming since she comes from a wealthy family.

B: You should watch out, I heard they have lots of attractive guys.

J: Silly girl.

B: Bye, watch out. I'm hanging up.

....

As we drew nearer to the college, I kept Imaging what it will look like.

And my excitement and worry were reaching their peak.

I was excited to see the school, I wanted to see how the amazing college was but I was worried and scared that I might not be accepted there, maybe they will not find me attractive or they might bully me.

"Dad, how long will it take for us to get there?" I asked him as curiosity and fear clothed me.

"We should have gotten there but because of traffic, we haven't," 

"Hmmm, okay." I let my head bounce back ready to face my fate.
