I followed Mary, gingerly as she led. I noticed she was heading towards Principal Andrew's office and I knew it, something was definitely wrong. And I couldn't help but imagine what the problem was, maybe I'm in trouble.
Everyone knows the principal for what he does. Principal Andrew's was the one who provides strategic directions in the school, he was the one who developed standardized curriculums and assesses we teacher's teaching methods and lesson notes.
He monitor's student's achievement and encourages parent's involvement by creating a PTA board. He revises policies, procedures, and also administer's the school's budget. He was in charge of hiring and evaluating all staffs, making sure we all did our duties perfectly. Am I about to be sacked? Well it won't be a surprise, the christmas curse has started as usual.

ChiziteremThe day was beautiful after the bone chilling rain of last night. The sky was still looking beautiful. I got out of the uber car, admiring the clear blue sky.After I told Principal Andrews about my decision and requested for a sabbatical break like Kene adviced. He called me smart and granted my request immediately. So imagine the joy on my face right now. I was right in front of the Okorie's magneficieng mansion. The house was that huge. I even felt small, whoever designed or built the mansion really tried, it shows the inhabitants of the house lived an Ostentacious style of living.I knocked on the huge black gate at the entrance of the building."Who is there?" A deep voice called out."A visitor." I replied, rolling my eyes."Does the visitor not have a name?" The voice shouted, opening the gate.
The chirps of the morning birds roused me up from sleep. I yawned loudly, stretching myself lazily. I opened my eyes widely, closing it back immediately and opening it again. I couldn't recognize where I was, the room looked strange to me.where am I? Or have I been kidnapped?"Good morning." a voice called out, I jolted out of the bed."Calm down," Mr Okorie said, chuckling loudly. He was in a pair of grey joggers and a black sweat shirt. He sat comfortably on the nude oversized seater at the far end of the room."What am I doing here?" I asked, going back to sit at the edge of the bed."You don't remember?" he asked."Oh!" I said out loud, as everything that happened resurfaced."I should take my leave now." I whisphered, getting up from the bed."You actually look cute in your sleep." he said, smirki
I've been avoiding Mr Okorie for the past two hours, this mansion was warning me off or something. I silently prayed he doesn't come into the study room till I'm gone."Are you hiding from my dad?" Mary asked, raising an eyebrow."No," I replied, laughing awkwardly."Why would I?" I asked."I don't know, I'm just assuming." She replied,"There will be a party here tomorrow, I don't know if my father told you." she added.I didn't reply, I just shook my head in a negative response."Are you in love with my dad?" she asked all of a sudden."What! What gave you this idea? Like, I've known your dad for how many days now."She just stared at me without saying another word."You know what? Lets just resume today's work." I said, breaking off the silence.
The ride to my house was quite, only the music playing in the car stereo could be heard. I gave Mr Okorie the directions to my house, he drove carefully along the untarred road of my street. I was kind of embarrased as the car kept bumping into pot holes."Sorry__" he said, as I almost bumped my head against the dashboard."No, I should be the one apologizing. This road is not suitable for your car." I replied."What type of road is suitable in this country?" he asked."I really don't know." I replied, laughing loudly."That is my house over there, you can park the car right close it." I said softly."Got it!" he replied.I watched him manoever his way like a pro, before he finally parked."Thank you, David." I said, opening the door and getting out."You are welcome," He replied.&nb
The atmosphere in my parents house was not as tensed as I thought it would be, the house was full. Grandchildren and daughter in laws surrounded my parent, my dad looked so happy as he played with his grandchildren, the triplets too were clearly having fun. I looked at my mum to find her already glaring at me. I looked away, groaning. I can't blame her though, I'm her first child and I'm still as single as a pringle. She was expecting me to come here with a man but I came here empty handed.Dumbi's girlfriend wasn't even what I was expecting, one thing about Dumbi was that he likes his girls voluptuous, very big with the right quantity of curves in the right places, but what I was seeing was absolutely different, the girl was tiny and she looked small. But she was really beautiful. I wonder if she knows how many rival she has.My dad is a retired soldier and my mum a retired nurse. Those two played a greater role in what I today.&nbs
I had it in mind to avoid Mr Okorie after what happened between us few days ago. I just wasn't ready to face him yet, how was I to look at his face after what happened."Are you okay ma'm?" Mary asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes," I replied, nodding my head.She looked at me for a long time, it was clearly obvious she didn't believe me."Are you sure? because you look lost." she said."I'm okay mary." I replied."Well lets do something to keep your mind off whatever you are thinking.""What about you asking me some questions?" she asked."Hmmm..hmmm...hmmm." I mumbled out audibly."Sure, that is a great idea." I said clearly."So start." she ordered.I raised an eyebrow up as I thought about the questions to ask."Is Mr
It started with early morning sickness and uncontrollable cravings for weird foods, on a normal day I don't eat sea food, but that was exactly what I have been craving for. I couldn't place what was happening to me. I got tired easily even without doing stressful things. I haven't been to work. I stopped going to Mr Okorie's mansion a week ago and I have not regretted it one bit. Staying away from him was the best thing to do at the nomenf.I really do miss him but I really do not want to get attached to him, more than I am already. I blew out a frustrated breath as I went into my Kitchen. I got myself a plate of fried fish and began eating it, surprisingly the taste was delicious to me. I kept chewing on it while standing. Suddenly a feeling of nausea hit me, I dropped the plate of fish on the kitchen slab, as I ran towards the toiled, vomitting everything in my tummy out.I inhaled deeply as I retched, retched and retched
There was something about the sky today. It looked different, it was clear, all bluish without the usual white drifting clouds. I sighed heavily. I had this feeling that things were about to change all of a sudden, like things were about to become absolutely different. After I sent Mr Okorie out of my house last week, he never checked back on me again, and I don't blame him though.The morning sickness and all other weird cravings are yet to stop, my periods were also late. Checking through the internet made me realize that, they were pregnancy symptoms. I have been keeping this huge fact to myself, I was scared to go to the hospital for a test. I was dreading the confirmation of the pregnancy. The only thing I could do was get some pregnancy skits, but the thing is that I have not got the boldness to try them out.I padded barefooted to the kitchen, I was craving for some prawn crackers. I was glad I had them in the upper cupboard in
