I took a public transport to school, it was a strange experience but not really a bad one. The only bad side of it was the driver stopping almost every five minutes for a passanger to highlight or to pick up a passanger,that made the journey slow.I got to school lately and literature class was on already. I greeted Miss.esther and settled down in an empty sit.The class ended shortly after my arrival and miss.esther said i should see her during lunch before she left.Most of my class mate offered their condolence and few of them tried to cheer me up. Nelly came for me during lunch,i did not go to the cafeteria so she came to my department. Nelly hugged me for a while and i felt love, she looked into my eyes with tears and concern and said “Twinny, how have you been? You look lean,what happened” i could not give nelly a respond, as tears started to roll down my cheek,she also started to cry. She engulfed me in a warm embrace as we both cried.Nelly brooke the embrace and took my hands,she promised to stay with me and i felt love again.I went to the cafeteria with nelly and had lunch which she paid for before i went to miss.esther’s office. Immediately she saw me, she covered the transparent container she was eating from and asked me to take a sit. Miss.esther moved closer to me and said “Nancy am sorry about your mom, please be strong.I noticed you were extremely late today, did you wake up late? Or were too sad to dressup? Please be strong and make yourself proud. You are a bright girl, that is why am been concerned” i could not answer miss. Esther’s questions, i just looked down at my feet as if it will produce answers. I gusse Miss. Esther noticed i was not willing to talk, she hugged me before i left her office for the general class.The general class ended and it was time togo back to hell, a place i once call home. While packing my bag Nelly came to me and said she informed her mom about my mood, and she want me over for lunch.I did not want to go with her at first but she pleaded and i agreed. We left together in her car after packing my bag.Immediately we got to Nelly’s house, her mom rushed out and hugged me very tight,later She brooke the hug and looked into my eyes and said “How are you my child?” icould see the love and concern in her eyes,i told her i will be fine and she hugged me again. Mr.stanley was absent so i had lunch with Nelly and her mom. After lunch iwent to nelly’s room and she involved me in different activities to cheer me up.We were stil swimming when my phone startedto ring at the pool side, i checked the callerI.D and it was Jordan. I accepted his call and he went on and on to tell me how bussy he was, which is the reason he couldnot keep in touch, he apologised and i accepted his apology. Jordan promised to check on me and call me often. It was when i ended the call with Jordan that i checked the time on my phone, the time was 5:00pm. Nelly followed me as i rushed out of the pool and changed into my dress, i hurriedly said my goodbye and Mrs.Stanley ordered Nellys’ driver to take me home.I got home 5:45pm and rushed into the main building, i was about going into my room when aunty Nike shouted” where are you coming from?” i turned back,greeted her and told her i went to school. ” is your school not suppose to close by 2:00pm?” aunty nike said. I do not know where this question and answer will lead to but i was hoping not to get a slap again. ” After school i went to a friends’….” i was yet to finish the sentence when a slap landed on my left cheek. I held my cheek as hot tears rushed out of my eyes. Aunty Nike draggedme to my room and she started to search everywhere. She opened my bag and took my A.T.M card, she then searched my wardrobe, where i kept the money kelvin gave to me, immediately she saw the money she started shouting ” O.M.G so youhave started stealing, i know you are spoilt i never knew you are a thief as well. Mike must hear this” she ended her rantingand left. I sat on my bed depressed but i could not cry anymore.Uncle mike arrived home 9:00PM, immediately i came out to greet him, aunty nike rushed at him and said ” Mike can you believe that nancy got home 8:00pm, she said she went to hangout with friends, and she stole my money, look at the fourty eight thousand i saw in her wardrobe”. Uncle mike was boiling with anger, he looked at me and said ” young lady,where did you get that money from? So you stole from my wife?” i was yet to answer his question when a hot slap landed on my cheek again. I was yet to recover from the slap, when uncle mike dragged me outside the house and said ” you have the guts to hangout with friends? You think you can goout and come back anytime you like? Tonight! you will hangout with the mosquitoes. You idiot!”Uncle mike left me outside and locked the door. I was left outside, in the dark alone with my fate.I knocked and pleaded with uncle mike andhis wife, i cried,i screamed, i promised never to hangout again, i promised never todisobey them, i even coffessed to the sin i never committed, i told them i stole the money and i promised never to steal again But nobody listened to me. If only mom was here. When i had no strength to shout and cry anymore,i sat by the door step and “Goodbye’s the saddest word” by “celien Dion” came to my mind, i sang with my laststrength.“Mamayou gave life to meturned a babyinto a ladymamaall you had to offerwas a promise ofa life time of love.Now know theres no otherlove like a mother’slove for her child.And i knowa love so completesomebody must leavemust say goodbyes.Goodbye’s the saddest wordi’ll ever hear.Goodbye’s the last timei will hold you nearsomeday u’ll say that wordand i will cryit’ll break my heartto hear you sayGOODBYE”Tears filled my eyes as i was singing, mom said her Goodbyes in the middle of nowhere and that made my life a living hell.I was still singing when a heavy wind started, i was so scared because the wind was so heavy, i moved closer to the door and covered myself with my bare hands.Few minutes later i heard sound of argument within the house,i could hear aunty nike screaming “Dont open” ontop of the voice.The door was opened and somebody offered me a hand. I looked up and i saw lizzy, she was in tears. Her parent were shouting at her from inside, they were telling her to let me remain outside where i belong but lizzy did not listen to them, instead she pulled me up and led me inside. I stood by the door in fear while lizzy locked the door. When lizzy was done locking the door,she faced her parents and said ” even if she were to be a slave, you are not expected to treat her thia way talkless of you blood dad , am so disappointed in you. Mom you call yourself a mother but you have the heart of stone, where is the heart of a mother that you ought to posses? What are you people passing on to me?” Lizzy yelled at her parents and led me to my room. I knew uncle mike and his wife were angry with me for turning their daughter against them but i was equally surprised cos even though lizzy was nice to me, she do render assistance in the absence of her parent. She was the calm and gentle type that never goes against her parents. Lizzy mademe lay on my bed and covered me up before leaving. I slept with many unanswered questions. Did the wind start to blow because of my song? What took the gentle lizzy away and made her bold enough to defend me? Probably did my mom heard me when i called on her? Do ghost really exist? Is mom still hanging around somewhere?. Those were the questions i could not answer.Lizzy woke me up the following morning and prepared a warm bath for me, she made me breakfast before leaving for school. When lizzy left i dressed up for school and went to greet my uncle and his wife. They did not respond to my greetings so i just left for school with no hope of howi will get to school. I called kelvin and explained my predicament to him,he was so pained that i could feel it in his voice,he told me he was out of town and not been able to help me, made matter worse for him, i consoled him and ended the call.My last option was Jordan, i called him andhe promised to come immediately. Jordan got to my gate 30minutes later and he drove me to school, he left with the promise to come for me 2:00pm.I had alittle fun with Nelly and after school, Jordan came. Nelly rushed to hug jordan and i wondered if they have met before i introduced them to eachother. They had alittle chat before Jordan decided it was time to go. I said my goodbye to nelly and left with Jordan.Jordan parked in front of our gate and i was about to highlight from his car when i saw aunty nike coming from God knows where in my mom’s car. She came down from the car and rushed at us,she knocked on the door and Jordan opened the door. Aunty nike started shouting in public “so you are the friend she always hangout with? You influenced her badly and taught her to disobey and steal. The next time i see you here, i wil get you arrested!” aunty nike shouted and left. I rushed out of the car and ran after her. Immediately she got inside she went to uncle mike and told himthat a guy came to drop me off. She told my uncle that i do not even go to school anymore and all i do is hangout with men. My uncle stood up and made to hit me but he stopped half way and said “you will remain in this house and prepare for that Jamb, no more school for you till you gain admission into the university,ok!? I shook my head and ran to my room.That was the end of school for me. I had tocoach myself for the exam.To be continued
