The Solider Husband - Chapter 619

10 June, City K Ladies Private High School, City K

Abigail looked around the exam room.  With everything that had happened in the last few days the normality of simply sitting an exam at school was calming.  The question was how badly had what had happened would affect her results?

Without noticing it, the exam invigilator had finished collecting everyone’s exam papers and said “Ladies, Congratulations on completing your last subject exams for your high school year.  For those of you taking the university entrance exams during the balance of the week, the process is straightforward.  You need to be here at least twenty minutes before the start time for the exam with your student identification.  No admission will be granted if you do not arrive ten minutes before the exam commences.  All stationary, rulers, and calculators when required will be provided.  The schedule is tomorrow are the two language exams.  Wednesday is Mathematics and Humanities; Thursday Science and Friday are the additional aptitude exams for those considering Medicine and Law based courses.  And before anyone asks for those who become ill, or a family emergency occurs immediately contact the school on the emergency number that was in your advice pack before the exam starts.  We can do something with the authorities to prevent you having to wait 12 months to take the examinations, but only if we act before hand.”

As soon as they were dismissed, Abigail slowly stood up from the desk, and watched as the rest of her classmates started walking out the door.  She was dreading what comments she was going to get from her classmates as she left, when the invigilator stopped her, saying “Abigail.  The School Principal has spoken to the national authorities to make them aware of what is happening with your mother.  With their permission, we have arranged for you to sit your examinations at the City University so you can be protected from media harassment while you sit the exams.  We will send over the stationary and other items for you to there.  You just have to be to the Student Administration Office each day 30 minutes before the start of the exams with your identification.”

“But I can sit them with everyone else…”

“Abigail, do you not think your classmates when you walk out the door are not going to question you about what had happened, let alone some of them hating you because of what your mother is alleged to have done.  Then there is the fact that at the school gates there is a media pack waiting to talk to you.  None of that will make this time easier, which has the risk of jeopardising your future.  This way, we can give you the best chance to pursue your dreams.”

Abigail, slightly dejected at the situation said, “I have no choice?”

“You do have a choice, but as a school, we think this is the best for you.  Maybe you go home and discuss your decision with your husband before letting us know by 7pm tonight.”

Abigail looked directly at the invigilator and sensing the surprise on her face, the invigilator said “All staff know about your marriage, because of the changes in your student profile after it.  But even if that was not the case, my husband is a low employee of the Gu Group.  Everyone in the group knows about the young lady boss, as they call you, because of how much your husband and father-in-law talk about you.  It would have only taken one photograph shown by my husband of you to know who you are.  Now, go take a little time to think about your options and call the number in your information pack to let us know your choice.”

With that the invigilator turned and walked away, leaving Abigail to walk out of the examination hall.  As she exited, she was surrounded by classmates that she barely knew swarmed around her, chanting “Here comes the s.l.u.t who has a s.l.u.t mother.  Such a criminal should be expelled.”

The first repeat of the chant had Abigail wanting to run and hide herself, but there was no way out given she was surrounded by her classmates.  Trying to appear smaller, she raised her shoulders, and lowered her neck, trying to hide her face.  It was then she heard a voice call out “Grow up idiots.  Who has the perfect parents here?  None of us.  Jane, your father has kept two mistresses his whole marriage to your mother.  Amanda your mother had an affair with another woman; Gail your father stole money from the investors in his company and was jailed.  Even my father got into a car drunk and caused an accident that seriously injured a teenager.”  Abigail relaxed slightly as Jemma was always a true friend.

“So what!  She is a s.l.u.t living with a man as soon as she turned eighteen, and her mother is a criminal s.l.u.t.”

That was it.  Criticising Paul was something she would not take.  Abigail lifted her head and dropped her shoulders before snapping out “You are talking about my hot husband, who I have head many of you say is one of the best men in town for a quick f*ck.  You are all dreaming if he would betray our wedding vows for trash like you because he loves me, so get your eyes off him otherwise you will not like what I do.”

“As if you are married to that man.  He would never look at you.  You are trash, and why would a man as fine as that look at trash.”

“Shut up Gail, as if you can talk,” came Jemma.  “All you can do is dream about men you want to seduce.  As if Paul Gu would ever pay attention to you.  Anyway, we all know Abigail’s mother is someone to keep clear of, because she is vicious to anyone around her if you do anything slightly wrong.  Remember Abigail’s 16th Birthday party, her reaction when you Jane.” With that Jemma paused and looked directly at Jane.  Jemma added “thanked her for being such a wonderful mother in allowing all of us there to celebrate.  She verbally attacked her for implying she was old.”
