Shinning Crystal Episode 5

Charlie was so surprise by her act. “Why are you like this Hanna? What have I done wrong this time?”she asked looking at her. “Are you asking me? I told you to mind your business but you went ahead and told my mum everything. You won’t get away with it I promise”she said and walked out on her angrily. Charlie wonder what she was talking about. She has no idea of what she’s saying. She moved slowly to their room looking sad. When she got in, her mother has slept already. She covered her up very well with the blanket and laid one blanket on the floor to sleep on. She sat quietly on the blanket resting her head back on the wall. She thought about all what’s happening especially how Hanna treat them in the house. She touched her cheek where Hanna slapped her and tears started forming in her eyes. “It’s OK Charlie. Everything will be over soon. I just have to endure it until we can be able to move out of this house”she said crying silently.

Hanna’s parent left for work. So she invited her friends into the house. She and her two friends Clara and Mina were in the sitting room chatting and laughing. By the way they dress one could tell they are also from a super rich family. “I’ve missed you guys so much”Hanna said smiling. “We missed you. I wanted to come and visit you last week but I traveled with my mum to Australia. Thank God we can finally meet today”Mina said jumping on the couch in excitement. “Same with me. Ever since the school went on holiday, I went to my sisters place in Brazil to spend the holiday. But I can’t really enjoy it because am not with me best friends”clara said smiling. “It’s OK girls. Now am happy we’re here together. Am seriously happy”Hanna said smiling. “Am happy We’re resuming back to school on Monday. We can start the school fun again”Mina said. “Oh that’s true I almost forgot”Hanna said looking at Mina. “We should resume the same time.”Clara said smiling. “Here we comes”Clara said looking at them. “The three musketeers!”Mina and Hanna chorused. And they all laughed out loud.

Mrs Susan(Charlie’s mother) was heading out with the dirty laundries. She got to them and bowed a little greeting them. And then, she continue walking. “Who’s she?”Mina asked in a whisper. “She’s our maid”Hanna replied. “I see”Clara said still looking at Mrs Susan as she left.
“Back to our discussion”hanna said changing her position of sitting. “I don’t want to resume to school on Monday because I have something to take care of, but I have to just because of someone”Hanna said smiling. Mina and Clara both stared at each other and laughed. Hanna looked at them wondering why they’re laughing.”why are you guys laughing?”she asked looking at them. “Because of someone you said? And I guess that someone is Justin and no other person”Clara said smiling. Hanna looked at her and cleared her throat. “I didn’t mention anybody’s name. Stop assuming something that’s not real”she said looking at them guiltily. “Anyway, I will just tell you to give him up already because Justin don’t even know you like him. He doesn’t even know you exist in that school, why are you still bothering yourself over him? We know he’s popular but don’t expect him to know everyone in school just because everybody know him. Well I can’t blame you for crushing on him because you’re not the only female student having crush on him in school”Mina said with a little frown. Hanna looked at her badly and rolled her eyes. “Are you the one to tell me that? Why are you always against everything I do?”she asked looking at her. “It’s not like that Hanna. Am just telling you the Justin you fell for don’t even have time for girls. I even heard some rumors in school that he’s probably a gay. That’s why he doesn’t get himself engaged with ladies. But I hope he notice you someday.”mina said in a calm voice. “He’s not a gay. People will bring up rumors just because he’s so handsome and smart. And overall he’s so popular in school. They got jealous of him and say bad things.
Dont worry, I will make him mine and I will show you guys am capable of doing that when the time comes. It’s just a matter of time”Hanna said boldly.

Not too long, Charlie got back from work with a small nylon bag. They all went silent looking at her. She greeted them and was about going in. “Come back here”Hanna commanded. Charlie turned back slowly and walked up to them. “Clean this up for me”she said looking at her. She bent down and started cleaning and packing the left over food they used to mess up the table and the floor. Hanna looked at her friends who didn’t understand who Charlie was for Hanna to command her and she obeyed without complaining. “Who’s she?”Clara asked in a whisper so that Charlie won’t hear her. “Oh you mean her?”Hanna asked again. “She’s the maid’s daughter and so she’s my maid also”Hanna said aloud.

Charlie finished packing and she went out with the dirt not minding her words. Mina looked at her until she was out of sight. “Wow. She’s so pret……”she stopped on seeing the look on Hanna’s face. “I mean she’s so ugly just like her mother. You’re more prettier than any other girls out there.”Mina said smiling.
“Yes I am”Hanna said twisting her hair. Then, they continue talking about school and other stuffs.

Episode 6

Charlie left for her room after taking care of the mess.
She sat down on a stood beside the bed and brought out her phone. Her mum got in and sat beside her on the bed. She saw her mum and she greeted her. “Welcome dear. How’s work today?”she asked. “It was good”she replied smiling. She noticed her mum Was happy and wondered why is that. “Mum, what’s the matter? I can see you’re so happy about something”she said looking at her. Her mum smiled and nodded her head in agreement. “Charlie I have a good news for you. I know you would be happy to hear it”her mum said looking at her. “What’s it? If you’re happy about it, then I would also be happy to hear it”she said smiling brightly. It has been long she saw her mum this happy.

It’s so rare to see her that happy. She looked at her expecting her to say the reason behind her happiness. “Mr David invited me to his office today, I thought Hanna had said bad things about us to him again. So he want to give me a sack letter but to my surprise, he asked if you could stop doing your part time job”before she could finish talking, Charlie cuts in.
“Is that why you’re happy? How does he expect me to quit my job just like that? What does that have to do with him?”she started asking questions. Her mum looked at her and smiled. “Not that dear. He said he want you to go back to school. I told him I can’t afford to send you to school that’s why you prefer to work instead of staying at home. But he told me he doesn’t like to see you work at this your age. You should be in school like every other kids. He said he and Mrs David discussed it yesterday and they agreed to send you back to school. He will pay your school fees and will like you to be in the same school as Hanna.

Maybe you two can get along well.”Mrs Susan said in excitement. But rather for Charlie to be happy about it, her expression changed. Her mother moved closer to her wondering why she had a sad face instead of her to be happy about it. “Charlie why that face? I thought this is all you’ve been praying for. To go back to school and study. And now this is a big opportunity for you to go. Please accept the offer”her mother pleaded. “It’s not that I don’t like it. But that school doesn’t fit my status. I will just be like a stranger to the school. That school is meant for rich kids like Hanna. But we, what do we have? We’re so poor. Why not another school that suit my status. I will like to attend another school instead, if he really wants to help me”Charlie said. Her mother smiled patting her back”I understand you my dear. I know how you really feel about that. OK, I will try telling him you don’t want the same school as Hanna but a cheaper school than that”her mum said smiling. “Thanks mum. I will really love that”she said and hugged her mum.
:
Back at Mr Henry’s house. Justin was sitting on his bed with a laptop before him. He was browsing through something on his laptop. He picked his phone beside him and unlocked it. “Ooh time is running so fast”he said and saved what he was doing then, shut down his laptop. He placed it in a bag and climbed down from his bed. He dialed Daniel’s number and placed it to his ear”hello. Am out to buy something from the store. I will meet you when am back”he said to Daniel on phone. “OK. see ya”Daniel said and he hung the phone. He moved towards the door but remembered he didn’t pick his wallet. He quickly went back and pick it. He put it inside his pocket smiling. He moved out of the house going with one of the cars.
:
Charlie was writting something on a note, then she noticed a customer coming in. She raised up her head and want to welcome him. She saw it was Justin then she rolled her eyes. Justin bought few things and went to her by the counter. “Hy. We met again”he said smiling at her. Charlie ignored him and started checking his items. She finished calculating and gave him his bill. “Have it. It’s 100dollars”she said looking at him. “OK no problem”he said reaching for his wallet. He searched the first pocket then looked at Charlie. She stared back at him thinking he’s trying to cause another scene again. Justin smiled and brought out the wallet. He removed 200dollars and handed it over to her. Charlie gave him the remaining 100dollars but he refuses to accept it. “That’s a tip from a customer”he said smiling. Charlie looked at him and rolled her eyes”what do you think you’re doing? Did I ask for a tip from you? Have your dirty money and get out of here”she said looking straight into his eyes. “Why are you always aggressive and loud? I gave you that from my heart so can we be friends?”he asked looking at her. Charlie moved closer him holding the money.

“Hey. I don’t want your money ok. And I know this money you’re spending might not even be yours. Am sure you picked it from someone’s pocket. Take your money”she said looking at him. She took his hand and placed the money on it. Justin stared at her like a lost puppy. He don’t know what to say to her. He was so surprised she took him as a thief. Charlie placed the money in his hand and also hand him the items he bought. “Now get lost and don’t let me see you here again or I’ll call the police”she said looking straight into his eyes. She pushed him backward until he got outside of the store. She closed the door and went back inside. Justin was really embarrassed. He don’t know what to do or say to her. He stood there looking at her from the glass door.
