The light of the the sun woke Ariana. She groan and slowly opened her eyes. Shit, the sun is up and she can't make it in time to go deliver milk and newspapers. She reached for the bedside table to get her phone but her hand couldn't find it. She sat up on the bed and strectched her arms but she felt pains all over her body and a headache. Suddenly what happened the previous night replayed in her head. She was almost raped or was she raped? her body hurt so bad. The last thing she remembered is her head bleeding. She just wished that this is all a dream and she doesn't want to wake up. She would rather die than to wake up and face the fact that she was raped and she has to live like that for the rest of her life. If this is all a dream, she won't be able to feel pain but her body hurt and she has a severe headache. So she isn't dreaming, she's awake. Her eyes sting and hot tears streamed down her face as she fell to the ground.What's the use of living? the only thing that she can b
Ariana came out of the bathroom and she saw the sweater on the bed. She felt a bit refreshed after having a bathe. She put on the sweater and came out of the room and she headed to the living room.She noticed something about Jeff's apartment. There's no one else apart from the two of them. She found it odd and suspicious."Hey, come eat" Jeff stated when he saw her walk into the living room. She saw Jeff bringing out a flask from a nylon. She walks to the dining table and sat down on a chair. Jeff opened the flask and gave her a spoon. "Dig in" he smiled.She collected the spoon from his hand and smiled back at him. She's grateful that Jeff came to her rescue and all that but...she started to suspect him. Where is his family? why is he living alone? is he a kidnapper? She has so many questions running in her brain and she felt scared. She looked at the delicious soup in front of her. Is it poison?"Hey eat before it gets cold" Jeff said. His voice jolted her from her thoughts."Jeff,
Ariana stared into his eyes trying to read him after mentioning the I like you word. She couldn't read his expression so she focussed her eyes on something else in the living room."I promise that I'll visit your family to make sure that they're okay" he assured her. "Since you're here, we should be working on our seminar project about jazz music" he smiled.*******Monday came quickly and Ariana recuperated well. She quickly left for her home before going to school. She prepared breakfast for her family and left for school. When she arrived at school, she didn't feel anybody's gaze on her nor anyone giggling and gossiping about her. Since she has skipped school for a week, people no longer notices her. She felt a bit calm. For the first time in her life, she felt like she belonged in this school, she felt like everybody else. Everytime she walk into the school, there's one gossip going on about her round the school and she's always the one that the spoiled brat in the school always
Chairman Jack took a stroll into his school. It has been a while since he step foot on his school. He got dressed as an average man because he doesn't want to attract attention. He met with some teachers and exchanged pleasantries and he inspected the school to see how the school is faring. He took note of some things that the school want and also talked to some kid to hear their opinion.He strolled to a quiet place in the school. His late wife liked that particular area in the school. He arrived at his destination and he still found that place as quiet as ever. He say down on a bench and started reminiscing memories of him and his late wife. Alice was the one who convinced him to build a School."I want to build a school. I want to build a place for kids to gain education" Alice always says and smile. Jack build this school for his late wife but she didn't stay alive for long to see this school so he named it after her. "Alice international high School".He closed his eyes as he e
Good morning sir" Ariana greeted and smiled. Jack saw another quality of Alice in her. Alice is respectful to elders and she always has a warm and bright smile on her face. He suddenly has an interest in this little angel."Why are you crying here all alone?" he brought out an handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her."Thank you" she wiped her tears with the handkerchief. "It's just that I hurt my knee but it's nothing serious" Ariana lied."It didn't look like you hurt your knee. Here, take this" Jack removed the jacket that he's wearing and gave it to Ariana. "Cover yourself" he added."It's not necessary, you might catch a cold" she pushed his hand with a smile on her face. It's not okay to accept an old man's jacket. What if the wind blows, he might catch a cold."You need it more than I do" he covered her thigh with his jacket."Thank you" she said with warmth. This man reminded her of her father. Her father is just as caring as this man."So tell me child, what happened
Ariana worked overtime in her workplace as she's trying to get her mind off what happened at school. What's the point of going to school and live a life of humiliation. After all, next week she'll be kicked out of school so she should just focus on getting her mom treated. She left work in the evening and strolled to the chemist where she normally buy drugs for her mother."Good to see you Ari" Bella, the nurse greeted "Hi" Ariana smiled."Dear you look exhausted" she said and she fetch the drugs that Ari normally buys for her mother.*Tell me about it, it has been a tough day" Ariana sighs."Make sure to get some rest when you get home" she advised and Ariana nodded her head. "You still haven't taken your mother to the hospital?" Bella asked."Nah I still haven't made enough money to send her to the hospital and I got other house expenses to deal with" Ariana furrowed her brows as she complained. Bella felt sorry for Ariana. She's just a sweet girl who is looking out for her family
Ariana did her morning routine of delivery milk and newspapers and she headed to the coffee shop where she worked after she finished delivery milk. Evening came quickly and Ariana rushed to the gas station where she worked as a pump attendant. She finished her day job and she received her pay. She smiled as she counted her day's pay. If she continued working like this, she will be able to send her mom to the hospital.She strolled happily home. She wanted to take the bus but that'll consume money so she decided to walk home. She sighted a limousine across the road, she found the limousine suspicious as the car keeps following her. She halted in her track and the limousine stopped. She felt alerted and she ran still it followed her. Ariana tripped and fell on the ground as she panted. Who on Earth is following her? and what do the person wants from her? "Could it be Zach?" she mumbled and gasped.The door of the limousine opened and a strong bodied man came out of the passenger seat.
"Mike has ulcer" she replied."What!" Ariana exclaimed. She felt like she didn't hear what Bella said. How could her little brother be diagnosed with ulcer."I'm sure he hasn't being feeding well. How did this happen Ariana?" Bella said with disappointed gaze on her face."I...I don't know" Ariana cried. "Start treating him, please" she begged. "Okay, you can go see him now" she left Ariana.Ariana walked into the room where she saw Mike still whining in pain and he still held his stomach. How could she let this happen to her brother, she admit she wasn't paying any attention to her brother and she's only concerned about her mother but why did this happen."Mike..." she called out his name and sat down on the stool next to the bed."Ariana, my tummy hurts, it hurts" Mike cried."I'm so sorry, it's going to be fine, okay, you're going to be fine, just endure it a little longer. Bella will soon be here to attend to you" she coax him but he still cried. Bella came into the room with a f
