NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12: EPISODE ELEVEN: GRIZ'S HANDWORK
"Announcement everyone! It has come to my notice, that the portrait on our wall was done by Miss Griselda Willows. Thank you, Miss Griselda, and maybe you should start using your skills as you never know where this would take you". The principal announced.
Clap! Clap! Clap! "Go Griselda!!!". Barbiee clapped and yelled and everyone except the trios, did the same.
After this scene, I walked into my class feeling a sense of great relief.
"Griz, why don't we go to my dad's hotel which is basically my home now, after school. My family wants to meet you". Barbiee told me and I nodded in affirmative.
After class, I got into her car and we drove to the hotel.
Oh, I'm telling you the hotel was fire. 'Spring Hotel'. That was the name of the hotel.
Barbiee led me to her family suit. "Hey girl, where've you been". A beautiful girl with black brown hair asked Barbiee.
"Sasha, I didn't know you were coming, where's your mum". Barbiee asked her.
"She's at work. Your friend?". Sasha asked as she looked at me and I waved at her.
"She's my best friend Griz". Barbiee told her and held my hand.
"Did you just say your best friend? Oh my God! Griz!". Barbie, Barbiee's mum asked with excitement.
I know what she looks like because I have seen her once or twice on the news.
"Hello I'm Griselda Willows. Nice to meet you". I said and shook hands with Barbie.
"Same here. My husband will not be joining us today so, let's have a girls time, okay?". Barbie yelled and we all replied, "Yes!!!".
We ate, chatted and played for three hours. "I have to go". I said after glancing at my wristwatch.
"Okay I'll take you home". Barbiee said and reached for her keys.
"Get home safe okay and feel free to visit at anytime". Barbie said.
"Bye!". Sasha yelled from the bathroom. I have to admit she is a little mean but turns out she can be sweet to.
In the car, I wondered who Sasha was to Barbiee. "Who's Sasha?". I asked her.
"She's a family friend. My mum says their family helped her a lot in discovering her true self". Barbiee told me.
"Aha! Barbiee why did you leave me, the moment we stepped into the school's building". I asked out of nowhere and turned to look at Barbiee.
"Well..".
Barbiee's POV.
When I walked into the school with Griz, I knew that the students wouldn't believe her artwork, was what they all admired.
So, I went to the principal's office. "Miss Barbiee what brings you here?". He asked.
"I just wanted to let you know that the portrait in the school hallway, is Griz's handwork". I told him.
"What! Griz!". He said in disbelief.
"I don't lie Mr. Peters. Do me a favor and let the whole students know okay, she deserves it". I said.
"Okay fine". He said and continued typing on his computer.
"She is in a tight spot right now, as no-one would believe what she did. So, please let's move to the broadcast room where you can make the announcement". I said looking directly into his eyes.
"Okay lead the way". He replied, sighed and closed his laptop.
In the broadcast room, he announced,
"Announcement everyone! It has come to my notice, that the portrait on our wall was done by Miss Griselda Willows. Thank you, Miss Griselda, and maybe you should start using your skills as you never know where this would take you".
"There satisfied?". He asked me.
"Of course. Thank you, principal, you are the best". I told him and ran away.
