Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

How can you trust your instincts when you don’t have the memories to back them up?

Diana had reached the school and she was a minute too early, so, she had to wait till the closing bell is ringed. Then, the principal called for her as regards to their children’s first day attitude.

Her children has skipped all the grade in their elementary school and had just resumed at Delford high school. They were so smart that even the elementary school teachers had issues with assuming their precision of accuracy of their intellect.

Five years ago, Diana gave birth to triplets, Two bouncing identical twins and a bouncing baby girl, the joy and happiness that filled Diana’s eyes and heart was unmeasurable when she held her kids on her arms.

She named the eldest Stoic..

His immediate younger brother Legacy…

And then, the youngest, Jennifer…

Stoic is super smart and had a very fast reasoning abilities.

Legacy is a limited version of Stoic, except that he was stronger and interrogative enough to coarse answers.

Jennifer was the typical “Ajebo!” The mummy’s pet . She is not so vibrant like her elder brothers but intelligent, super sensitive and self withdrawn which made her quite exceptional. They all had special genes running through thier veins. When a doctor was consulted, he said it’s rare and that they’re lucky.

Diana concluded, maybe it was because of the comatose pregnancy but that she didn’t say..

At the same time, at their classroom.

“All right everybody, My name is Miss Emily!” The teacher in the classroom introduced herself directing the students focus on towards the chalkboard, on which she has written down her name.

“And in addition in being your homeroom teacher, I’ll be seeing some of you in my English class, And some of you on the football court- ” – At the same time, The youngest of the students sitting at the front row, weren’t even listening, the eldest among these young three kids kept on rummaging round the classroom and scrutinizing each and every of his classmates. His name, Stoic.

The teacher ignored that as she continued from where she stopped .

“Just to give you a little history, I have been here at Delford for Twenty Nine years and, I taught some of your older brothers and sisters and sadly, some of your parents!” At this point, one of the backbenchers motioned at Stoic to face his front and listen to the teacher talking. But he didn’t pay heed to that, he kept on doing what he was doing.

“Not much I haven’t seen, until today! I’m sure we’re all aware that we have three new students with us who despite their young age” – the teacher started towards the kids ‘Are remarkably gifted and I expect y’all to make them feel welcomed”

It was something of a surprise that five year old kids skipped their elementary grades and were now in the high school. It was thier first day of resumption.

A smile went through Stoic, Definitely because, he got excited that the teacher noticed he and his siblings are remarkably gifted. Then, he raised up his hands..

“Yes, Stoic!” Emily responded, which directly met she has permitted stoic to talk.

“As per the students dress in grooming code, this boys hair is too long” Stoic spoke turning back, pointing at the back bencher earlier who had motioned at him to focus. And then, he redirected the teachers attention with his forefinger pointed towards the next guy sitting next to the backbencher “And this boy is wearing spot attire outside of the designated area!”

He turned to his left , just behind him and continued ‘And this girls bra is diaphanous!” He gained back his composure staring directly into the teachers face and continued ‘Which means I can see her brassiere!”

The whole glass chuckled even the teacher unwittingly chuckled ‘Okay, thank you and I’ll take that into account!. Oh alright, We’ve few minutes before we close for the day and I need y’all to fill this forms!” Then her speech got interrupted by Stoic again, whose hands were up.

“What?”

Without no gap in time, before Stoic could speak, a tiny little sweet voice ran through the classroom “Also in violation of the grooming code, on page article 47, 5 subsection B. You’ve a bit of a mustache!” It was Jennifer who spoke, incidentally that was what Stoic was going to say.

The teachers face at an instant turned glacial – she bolted out of the classroom and upon getting into the principal office, The mathematics teacher, the physics studies teachers and Diana were there discussing something she was going there to initiate.

“Five minutes into my class, that young boy Stoic, questioned my credentials” the mathematics teacher said with a frown on her face.

“How am I supposed to control a classroom when a kid is accusing me of breaching the hygiene code!” The physics teacher added with an angry tone.

“Maybe, If you showered better, that wouldn’t have got to you!” The principal responded.

“Those kids can’t belong to thus school!” Miss Emily who had just arrived spoke.

“That little girl said ‘I’m intimidated by her intelligence’, and she offered to be my leader…”

Diana was not so surprised, she knew what her kids were capable off, back at the elementary school they would every day intimidate their teachers with their intelligence. And, even back at home, she has to strain her brain much more higher than above normal to be able to have a normal conversation with her own children. But, over the years, she had mastered how to cope with them.

‘I’m so sorry, Mr principal and teachers, You know they’re still young, they’ll get used to it in no time!’ Diana pleaded, but her plea didn’t get any far.

“There is a really smart school at Sterling city that can handle remarkably gifted kids like your children, why don’t we not bother ourselves and take them there! I can help with the transfer!” The principal responded thoughtfully after a sigh.

The teachers all at an instant supported the opinion.

“But, I can’t afford a private school there, I don’t have much money! And I sure can’t homeschool them, they do calculus and euclidean something!” Diana replied with a dispirited tone. Not that, she can’t really manage with paying the school fees, it was just that she was not comfortable with the idea of going back to Sterling city, where she had lost everything. ‘it’ll be like walking into the past she is running away from!”

“Euclidean Geometry, and guess where I learnt that?” the mathematics teacher added questioning…

After a brief silence, the principal continued.

“You don’t have a choice Ma’am, you’ve to take them there, where they meet up with their potentials”

The next moment the closing bell rang and every kid was excited, finally, they gat to go home.

Soon after, Diana and her kids were home. Nurse felicity was not yet home.

“So, Mommy, When are we going to Sterling city? Heard the school there for gifted kids is really nice!” Legacy who had been mute the whole day spoke, he wandered over to her side, he wore a purple checkered shirt, and pair of denim shorts. His features were delicately chiseled, albeit childish. There was an unmistakable elegance and grace on his movement.

“I just hope the school isn’t as boring as the past five schools we had gone!” Stoic beamed with his large eyes, looking like glistening jet-black jewel as they curved into crescent moons.

Stoic and Jennifer by this time had shifted closer as well on the couch and now, Diana was besieged with six expectant ears.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Then, Diana smiled and nodded in affirmatively. She couldn’t help but musing about how beautiful her kids were. Every time she looks into their little face, she felt a surge of comfort and gratitude, as though constantly in awe, how she managed to birth such special babies..

“Well, then, we best wait and I’ll discuss it with Your aunty then we can proceed further okay?”

“Okay!” The kids gave one firm nod in Unison, then dashed into their room. Jennifer, who lagged behind, turned back, she seem worried about something.

Just when Diana heaved a sigh as a sign of relief, the incident from earlier that day flashed across her mind. The President general. She could vividly picture him and contrast his looks to that of her kids. Just then, A small palm rested on her hands that were folded.

“Mummy, are we going to meet daddy there?” A cute tiny little voice spoke. It was Jennifer speaking. Diana was reminded, not with a dry eye in the room of something. She Leaned down, and placed a soft kiss on her wrinkly forehead and inhaled her baby scent. There was this unconditional love for her she couldn’t explain, and it has only grown since. They had such a great affinity for each other.

“Mummy answer me?” She spoke nestling even closer. Diana had comically told her kids their father stays at Sterling city and she is from there and that attributed as to why Jennifer asked.
