Chapter 37
“What is the name of the church?” Dorothy asked him.
“St Agnes” Calvin replied.
“Anglican or Roman catholic?” She asked.
“I think it is a …..”. Dorothy’s phone rang and she picked it.
Calvin heaved a sign of relief and concentrated on the road.
“Have you started the class?” Dorothy asked the person she was speaking with.
“No we are still waiting for our teacher” Mia replied from the other side.
“Where are you? It seems as if you are on the road” Mia asked.
“I am going to church with Calvin” Dorothy replied.
“OK please pray for me because I heard a rumour that there will be a text after the class” Mia said.
“Don’t worry, I will pray for you and you will ace the test” Dorothy replied.
“OK talk to you later, I think the teacher has arrived” she said.
“OK good luck” Dorothy said and hung up the call.
“We are here” Calvin announced.
Dorothy looked out of the window and saw that they were at the front of the church.
“Let’s go inside quickly, you know that we came very late” Dorothy said. They got out of the car and went inside the church, they went to one of the pews located at the back and sat down.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Dorothy did the sign of the cross and bowed down her head in prayer.
“So this is the church? funny enough that I sponsored it’s building but didn’t know about it’s existence” Calvin thought. He remember when Edward told him that the estate needed a church so he told him to go ahead and build one.
“Please everyone stand up, let us pray” the priest said and everybody stood up.
“Father Lord, thank you for this day that you have given unto us. We pray that you come and guide us according to your ways, touch our hearts that we may love and know you through Christ our Lord Amen”. the priest prayed and everybody sat down and the priest started preaching the gospel.
“Hey that’s my seat” Mia said to the girl who was arranging her stuffs on her seat.
“Not anymore” the girl replied and continued what she was doing.
“Are you for real ? no you can’t be you must be joking” Mia asked.
“Please can you shift out of the way, you are blocking me” the girl said.
“OK that’s it, I have had enough” Mia said and took the girl makeup tool box from the desk and kept it on the floor.
“If you are not leaving then I have to chase you out” Mia said.
The girl stood up and faced Mia, “bring back my box or I will….”
“You will what?” Mia asked.
“I will beat you till you cry for hel…”
“What is going on here?” someone asked and they turned around.
“Good morning Mrs Suzy” they chorused.
“I asked what is going on here?” Mrs Suzy repeated.
“She was harassing me ma” the girl replied pointing at Mia.
“That’s not true ma, she took my seat and I told her to leave but she wouldn’t” Mia replied.
“Your seat? Is your name written on it” Mrs Suzy asked.
Mia looked down at the floor and replied “No ma”.
“Fine then find another seat and stop harassing someone else” she scolded Mia.
“Yes ma” Mia replied and carried her stuffs to another seat.
Mrs Suzy went to the front of the class and kept her bag on the table.
“Good morning class, how are you feeling today?” She asked.
“We are fine” they replied in unison.
“Welcome to my outdoor makeup class, as you can see the weather is nice so don’t worry about the sun” she said.
“OK today I will be teaching you today “bad girl make up” Mrs Suzy said.
“I will do mine first while you take turns and do you neighbour” she added.
“Understood?”
“Yes ma” they chorused.
“Lucy come here, I will use you as my sample” Mrs Suzy said to the girl that came with her, who was sitting beside the flowers.
“OK” the girl replied and came to the front of the class and sat down on the stool there.
“Now class, listen and watch attentively as I do the magic and transform Lucy into a baddie” Mrs Suzy said and started applying makeup on Lucy.
Mia watched her with rapth attention and jotted the one she should.
After less than thirty minutes Mrs Suzy was already done with the makeup.
Now guys look at Lucy’s face, doesn’t she look like a bad girl?” She asked.
“Yes she does ma” one girl who was at the front seat replied.
“As you can see, I made the eye to appear smoky and the lipstick I applied was very bright” she said.
“Alright now try it out with your neighbours, you will take turns in doing it” she added.
“And before I forget, you know there will be a test after this class right?” She asked.
“Yes we know” they chorused.
“OK take time and do what you were born for” she encouraged and went to her seat and sat down.
She brought out her phone and started scrolling through it.
“What is your name?” Mia asked the girl sitting beside her.
“Anna” the girl replied.
“So Anna, do you want to go first?” Mia asked.
“No you go first” Anna replied.
“OK stay calm let me do it” Mia said.
She brought the materials needed and started applying the makeup on Anna’s face following Mrs Suzy tutorial.
“I am done” Mia said when she finished applying the makeup.
“You are already done?” Anna asked.
“Yes do you want to look at the mirror?” Mia asked.
“No let me do yours then after that we will but look at the mirror together” Anna replied.
“OK get on with it” Mia said.
“Make sure that you don’t move so that I can beautify you” Anna said.
“Yes ma” Mia replied and positioned her seat very well.
