K•E•L•S•I::::
"Oh Well, seems like she saw us smilling at each other", I blurted out softly because I could see smoke coming out of her head and her eyes not leaving our direction.
"I need to start going" I told lexy quickly standing up from the seat.
I really don't want any trouble with Anita, Not today.
Lexy nodded and broke into a wide smile when Anita came over putting her arms across his shoulder.
I walked passed Anita and heard her hissing like a snake.
Friday was a one of the most memorable day for everyone in the school, most especially for the girls.
I too was looking forward to seeing Lexy in school on monday.
When I got home from school mum noticed I was in a happy mood, she eyed me suspiciously.
"Hmm.. what happened today Kelsi"? This one you are smilling like this, she teased.
"Nothing oh! Mummy", I replied smilling mischievously.
"Are you sure"? She asked again looking directly at me with both hands on her waist.
I laughed, "okay mummy....... I will tell you, you Know I cannot keep secrets from you."
"Very good of you young lady, you better start talking" she smiled.
"A new guy came to our school today, mum he his really, really handsome mum", I told her pulling off my uniform.
I narrated what happened in school to mum with smiles on my face.
" Does this guy you are gushing about have a name?" She asked.
I looked at her " Yes, he is Lexy"
"Hmm.... Well, I bet he is not as handsome as Mr Raphael son", mum said arranging the bed, "those children are really a blessing to them.
"I don't think so" I said absentmindedly still picturing Lexy handsome face smiling at me.
Wait! What did mum just say??
Turning my head to her direction swiftly, "did you say Mr Raphael son? I asked again, to be sure I heard her well.
Yes! Mr Raphael son.
Oh! That means he was the one sitting in the car and also the figure entering the kitchen that night.
Oh. "Mr Raphael has a son? He must be really grown I coughed.
He has two, a boy and a girl," mum said arranging the pillows well.
Well, good luck to them, all I want is for me to go early to school on Monday, so I can see Lexy again.
and Luckily have another conversation with him like today.
"Will you come with me to the market, I've lot of things to buy."
Okay ma", i quickly changed my clothes and followed her out.
*************
When we were in the mall doing shopping, I met Anita and her mum coming out of their car.
I almost wanted to turn and walk towards the other direction when she looked up and saw me.
" Look who is here!" She smirked with an evil look.
"What are you doing here?" Looking around, she
asked again, "where is your mum? yoOr did you come with your dad? She asked giggling.
I was looking at her, praying in my mind that mum will not meet her there, I was not prepared for any encounter with her and there is no way mum was going to know what I have been going through. Yes mum did not know iam being bullied almost everyday in school.
"Where is your car? Because I can't see any" her hands rested on her waist. "or you don't have any?" She threw her head back and laughed.
"That reminds me, I have not seen any car bringing you to school or taking you back home", she said folding her arms waiting for me to defend myself.
This girl is nut! I said inwardly.
"Don't tell me you're not from a rich family like everyone in our school" . She asked closing her mouth from laughing out loud with her right palm.
"I will catch you kelsi, remember what I told you" she walked towards me and lean towards my ear.
' Watch your back' she whisper and walked away.
K•E•L•S•I::::"Kelsi, What's happening here?"Who's that? Mum asked coming towards me with the things she bought, while looking at Anita departing figure."Uhm....She's just a friend", I smiled, taking the goods from my mum who look unconvinced about my reply, I knew she could see my unsettled body language."She is my Friend mum, ermm.... I mean my class mate, she was greeting me" I grinned, trying to reassure my mother."Alright", mum said. "let us start going it's getting late already"I was relieved, finally she reluctantly accepted.I was glad Anita didn't not meet mum,and mum didn't meet her.I hope they don't cross paths.I really hope so.***********We came back late and quickly make dinner for the Raphael's, while mum was still cooking I went outside to complete my assignment
K.E.L.S.I:::on Tuesday evening I decided to follow her to Mr Raphael residence to assist her with the duties.Mom called me to help her with the dish, sitting outside the varenda before I was called, i left the Novel I was reading and walked to the kitchen, after everything was done and set, we went back home and that was when I realized I forgot my book."Mom!...." I called her, standing up from the bed. "...I forgot the book I was reading at Mr Raphael place, I need to go and get it, the english teacher gave us some assignment in it, and iam not done with the book" I told her while at the same time putting on my slippers."Okay, Don't stay long" mum yawned, turning to the other side of the bed.I quickly walked towards Mr Raphael residence, I opened the gate and entered, i was relieved when I saw my book lying exactly where I left it.As I was about picking the book up, I heard the front doo
K.E.L.S.I:::Lexy tightened his grip on my waist as he gradually moved his mouth up to my neck, dragging his lip along my skin.I nodded. " Ye..yes" I stuttered, feeling embarrassed at my answer."I have also yearn to kiss you too..." his voice was soft, almost a whisper. "...to feel the softness of your lip on mine" he groaned with his voice low and husky.I closed my eyes and groaned inwardly, "God! How could he have so much effect on me this way"?We were closed our bodies touching each other, I could perceive his body wash, I could inhale his perfume.I closed my eyes, cluthing my book tightly with my head bent."Look at me", he requested, raising my head up.Lexy didn't waste a second the moment I opened my eyes, he bent his head and slipped his tongue into my mouth, at thesame time pinned me forcefully against the wall.A groan came out
K.E.L.S.I::::Having satisfactorily emptied all the content in my stomach, i walked over to the school eatry to get a bottled water, on getting there i met Anita and her crew .I walked passed ignoring them, bought the water turned back to see them arms folded standing on my way looking at me.I exhaled heavily because I was definitely not in the mood to exchange words with her or fight her, everyone in the school gets scared of them but certainly not me."Can you excuse me please?" I asked politely trying to walk past them as they kept on blocking my way.Seeing her alone is enough reason to burst into tears again, but I resolved not to. It would be a shame on my personality coupled with the fact that the person in question doesn't even care about me or sees me as someone who is worth it."Excuse you? Like Excuse you to hell? Wow! I cannot imagine where someone who smells and dress cheap as you got the audacity to talk
K.E.L.S.I::::When we got to Rita's street, I bid her goodbye and I was all alone with my thoughts walking home and wandering back to today's episode in school.An hour later I got home and met mum sleeping, I was too tired to inform her of my presence as i slowly pull off my uniform and changed into a short&singlet and lay beside her, I sighed trying to keep my eyes opened, remembering what had happened earlier in school and what I would have done to Anita of Rita had not intervene.Gradually I slept off.I woke up later to noticed everywhere was dark and mum was no longer beside me.On looking at the clock, it showed 7:20 pm."What?" I opened my eyes wider to be sure I wasn't seeing something different, I slept for 5 hours??Slowly I stood up from the bed, I was weak and my stomach rumbled furiously. I looked at the stool close to the bed and saw a nylon, I checked it and saw a take away pack.I hurriedly ope
K.E.L.S.I:::Mrs Raphael didn't hide her true colour when her husband was taken out of the country for his medical operation, she made mum go through hell, even accusing her for being the cause of her husband accident blaming him for allowing us into their house the first day.According to what we heard, that fateful day before the accident he was on the phone with my mom, telling her of the delicay he wanted to eat on getting home, taking note of what he was saying my mum heard the screeching sound of the vehicle then silence, thinking he was done talking to her she returned the phone to Mrs Raphael, only for her to get a call few hours later of the situation of her husband.Thingd started going down to scratch for us, She fired mum and sternly warned us never to step our foot in the house again.Mum came back looking very sad, at this point we are now on our own..We hoped to see a better job,
K.E.L.S.I::::"So you're the daughter of the maid my mum sent out of our house last month?" someone asked while I was trying to take a nap during break.I had nothing to eat, No money, and I was still nursing the pain of the lashes I received from the biology teacher.I looked up to see Lexy looking at me with anger visible in his face.I was speechless, surprised."How did he know?" I wondered, I couldn't open my mouth, I just sat there starring at him."Talk to me kelsi! Are you?" Was your mother really the maid we had? Is my father the one sponsoring your education? His voice was thick, rising with anger.I remained silent, unable to fathom how to reply his questions, there I realized his mother had told him.Students were gradually gathering whispering to each other, looking at us."You lied to me! How could you Kelsi?" He scoffed."Iiam..."
K.E.L.S.I::::"Iam sorry delvin...." i apologized remorsefully, as I gently pulled out of his embrace. "....I never meant to lie to the both of you" I continued my apologies, the tears was still rushing out of my eyes."I'm so sorry" I apologise again, wiping the tears with my hand."It's okay Kelsi, I'm not mad at you, it wasn't your fault....." Delvin stared at me sadly, wiping the lone tears that made it way down to my cheek slowly. "...iam just mad at the way Lexy handled the issue, he shouldn't have done that, not with everyone present.I nodded, sniffing."Don't worry, I will make sure you're safe and no one bully you". He held my hands, his eyes showed sincerity.Delvin gave me what I needed that moment, Hope and Assurance of my safety.How I wish it was Lexy doing this.....We returned to the class after break, students were looking at me whispering sof
