K.E.L.S.I:::
I could hear the sound of music as we entered into the venue for the party, Collins house was very huge and well decorated.
I was not surprised all my classmates comes from rich home, different lights were coming from the house with many cars parked outside.
I recognized some that belongs to my class mates.
Delvin parked his car and came around to let Rita and I out, everyone seems to know who had arrived since most of them were looking our way while some don't give a damn.
Yeah! Delvin is also the most handsome and popular after Lexy, and I was the popular maid&liar with Rita being the girl Anita and her crew bullied that almost made Lexy and delvin fight.
As we walked in i noticed in comparison to all the girls there i was the most simple dressed.We finally made it to the room
"Hey delvin! What's the maid doing here? Is she here to serve us?" One guy asked with a slur, he was obviously drunk.
"S
K.E.L.S.I::We went back to Join others In the party, everyone present had their dance partners with them.Delvin held my hands and told me to dance with him, I was shy at first, not wanting to draw attention to myself.At the far end corner I saw Lexy looking at us with an undescribable facial expression,"what's with him?" I wondered, while starting to dance with delvin.And "Why is he not having fun with his girlfriend he came with?" I wondered, Swaying my hip to the beat of the music with Delvin right behind me.Our eyes met, wait was he throwing daggers at me or at delvin? I turned to delvin who was smilling lovingly at me."You have to stop looking at him kelsi, you have to ignore and pretend he is not here" I instructed myself firmly focusing all my attention on Delvin.I returned hid smile and continued dancing moving closer to him, I was having fun when someone pushed me and I tripped over delvin who
K.E.L.S.I:::I quickly rushed in to apologize to delvin, I looked around and couldn't find him anywhere."Where did he go to? I thought aloud as my eyes scanned everywhere carefully.I tried to walk through the crowd looking for him, almost everyone in the party were drunk and filled with sweat.I saw Rita at the far end corner with her hands crossed looking at me, I felt ashamed of myself."Rita' I....... "She raised her hand cutting me off immediately."What delvin told me......"she exhaled "... tell me it's not true Kelsi". Her voice was filled with anger as she eyed me waiting for my reply.I could not make up anything to justify my mistake, I knew I deserve any form of unusal behavior from them, I did the mistake. I thought the best thing to do that moment was to apologise."Iam sorry Rita" I could barely recognize my voice as I blurted out my apology making everything awkwardS
K.E.L.S.I:::It was 11pm already and a lot has happened.Finally we were on our way home after the party, my eyes was fixed on the road because it was dark I didn't want delvin to drive past where he was supposed to drop me off."Stop here!" I quickly said, preparing to alight."Why Is this where you stay?" Delvin asked looking at the environment, and Rita was giving me a surprise look.I smiled' No, my house is two buildings from here."Let me take you there then", he turned on the car ignition."No! No it's fine delvin", I quickly chipped in."C'mon Kelsi Why are you always secretive?"till now neither Rita nor I knows where you live."Why are you still hiding things from us?" He switched off the car ignition."No , sso guyseriously iam not hiding anything from you. Your houses is still far and it's late already.It's better I come down here so you can get home on time. I re
K•E•L•S•I::::Few years back Dad lost his job as a banker, he was a honest man, the only honest man I have known all my life.Colleagues at his work place tried to lure him into embezzling some of the company's fund which he vehemently refused, one was because he was a Christian and sees that as a sin, and two because of the trust and love his wife and daughter have for him.Dad was honest in everything he does, some of the workers framed him up, accused him of lavishing the company's money and although the manager had a record of his honestly did not arrest him, but told him to leave the company.That was how dad lost his job.Dad was positive he would get another job soonest, seeing he has good grades and a very good working experience.All hope to get another job became fruitless even as he tried harder, and things started getting worse gradually and the economy of the country too was not helping at
K•E•L•S•I::::"How can somebody this wicked exists?" I wonder with tears rushing out of my eyes and anger clouding my features.Shamefully We picked out bags and walked out of the house, our house.Mum and I were walking aimlessly on the way with people giving up the pity look, and some even whispering wondering what had happened to us.We went back to Dad's elder brother, Richard to accommodate us for the time being, until mum gets a job that would be able to cater for our well being.He refused, accusing mum of killing his brother that we should not step our foot on his doorstep again.Mum was broken, we were helpless.I was feeling sharp pains in my back and legs due ti walking for hours under the scorching sun, until I complained to mum and luckily for us we saw a shop closedby and we stood under the shade.We waited for sometime and suddenly the weather changed, and it started
K•E•L•S•I::::Mum had to do everything from laundry to cleaning the house, cooking..... Which we did not mind atall.I noticed Mrs Raphael wasn't happy with her husband generosity, but I ignored it because of how overjoyed we were.He showed us everywhere in the building and also show us where we will be staying.The room he gave us was small, but better and more comfortable than that shade we slept last night, with a bed that can accommodate two people, Chair and table well furnished, what more can we ask for?We quickly arranged our luggages, and mum went out to start her new job as a maid, leaving me alone in the room.I was grateful to God and Mr Raphael too.I got excited about the new school I will attend, questions kept popping in my head.' when will I start this new school?""How will I cope with the new school and the new environment?"I wish dad was still alive wi
K•E•L•S•I::::I used all my will power to focus my attention on the teacher as i overheard soft mumurs from every corner."Ah! There you are, can you please tell me and the class your name? He encouraged."My name is Kelsi Itohan" I tried to be audible as I could."I'm a new student here" my voice slightly shaking.He nodded "Welcome, Kelsi the teacher replied with a smile that soothe my feeling.Sit down please."Thank you", I replied sitting quietly while taking a quick glance at my classmates."Alright everyone today we will start a new topic on mathematics INDCES'Ugh!I hate mathematics even as a science student I love anything that does not involve calculation, but I have no choice than to sit and learn.The teacher taught for over two hours, another came in and the third all asking me to introduce myself, I almost wanted to
K•E•L•S•I::::The closing bell rang, I was the first to rush out of the class, I honestly don't belong here! I hasten my footsteps as i wanted to go home on time.Parents were coming to pick their children, flashy cars were everywhere it was noisy and that made me feel sick the more.I knew I had to trek home, i didn't waste a moment to start my journey home.I walked out of the gate eager to get home, cover myself with a duvet and forget about today.I started trekking under the hot sun, when I got to the junction where there was a pothole with water, I waited for some drivers to pass so I can continue, while trying to pass through the pothole avoiding the water, a vehicle from no where splashed the dirty water on my body, I suddenly became chill wet from head to toe including my school bag.I looked at there I saw the driver slowed down and Anita head came out of the car window laughing.I couldn't
