Cindy walked into class the next morning and the class was noisy, as people in the different group were talking, she put down her bag in the locker and walked over to her desk with her notebook.
"Cindy you missed," Kelly told her immediately she sat down. "The fight was so hot.""I can see that." Cindy placed her book. "So who won?" She asked indifferently, she was not interested in it, but to make her friends happy, she had to join the conversation."Mare looking you will know," Kelly told her and Cindy look around, she could see light bruises on few students face. "The troublemakers were the loser."Cindy looks at her friends, puzzled. "And who are the troublemakers?" She asked."You got eyes girl." Kelly looks in the opposite direction. "It is Elle and her group, Salsa was the winner," Janet told her.Suzy, can’t you see how bruised their faces are?” Belle said with a chuckle as she and Bella looked at the girls that were still talking aRusseli and Cindy sat down in the cafeteria for lunch, Russeli had invited her to have lunch with him, as they eat their hamburger and soft drink, Cindy noticed Russeli staring at her.She knew she has to break the silence, she sips her drink and looks up at him. "Are you practising well?""In what?" Russeli looked puzzled by the question asked."Football match, you would be playing with Jeffery's team in Beckswood." She saw the expression on his face changed and she wonders if she had said something wrong."Do you think I don't stand a chance in winning?" Russeli asked her, for what its worth, he hope Cindy had not asked that question, she had watched several of his matches and she knew he always win.Cindy pressed her lips together and hesitated for a while before looking at him, there was no point in lying to Russeli. "To be honest with you, you probably don't." She looks at his eyes and she could see it shrunk.Russeli looked disappointed as he look
Cindy White PovThe school was over as students walked out of the gate, I was with my friends as we chitchat about the field trip on Saturday, we were all excited and even decide to go shopping the next day.I smiled when I saw Jeffery waiting by the gate, he must be waiting for me, I haven’t talked to him all through today, and by the way, we had great fun yesterday.I lift my hands to wave to him but put them down when I saw him staring in another direction, I turn my eyes only to see Suzy walking over to him.I have seen him stare at her in class after she had separated the mean girls, perhaps he was seeing her in a new light since there was a glint in his eyes."Jeffery!" I heard Suzy call out as she ran over to him.I and my friends were already close to them and Kelly had stopped to show Janet and me something, could be a list of things she wants to buy, but my focus wasn't there, I was just staring at Jeffery."Where have you been?" Je
"You want to get married?" I asked him with a thick voice. "You love someone?" I asked again and he closed his eyes momentarily."I know it is hard for you, but Cindy please understand." He opened his eyes and a surprised expression flashed through his face as he stares at my face.I was beaming as I nod profusely. "I love that dad!" I said in a rush and embraced him as I lean my head on his shoulder, smiling like a kid who just got her favourite doll."If you love someone then marry her, I will accept her as my stepmother, I want a mother too, a mother who will love me and who I will also love," I told him with humour.I had lost my mother when I was four years old and I have wished my father her married so that I would have a mother again, a mother that will cook for me and also attend shows with me, and a mother I will chitchat with, cause my father was so old-fashioned."You're not angry?" I heard his surprised voice and refrained from the embraced and l
I walked over to my friends after making sure that my tears were dried up, I wouldn't want them to suspect anything or ask me questions.If they should ask, what would I tell them, that I broke up with Jeffery? They will find it absurd since I never told them I was dating him in the first place."Cindy, did you see what you were looking for?" Kelly asked me when I approached her.I was thinking of an excuse for staying away too long, but here was one thrown at me."Yes have you seen the singlet?" Janet added and I looked at the both of them, the excitement of shopping was still on their faces.They were too busy when I left, they must have thought I went in search of a singlet.I forced a smile and shook my head gently. "I don't like the singlet anymore," I said softly and over to where my bag was. "Girls let's wrap it up," I told them after picking up my bag."Huh!" Kelly looked at me with a shocked expression. "Wrap what up?"I knew they wer
We arrived at the camping ground and everyone seems excited to be far from home and also to see a new scenario, I chat with my friends nonstop, trying hard not to think of anything else.I have not met with Jeffery after we broke up, I have looked away from him and he also seems to understand I meant what I said.I had seen him talking to Russeli, even when I didn't hear what they were saying, but I knew it was something serious caused their expression was hard and they were glaring at each other.He has also been with his friends and also talked to Suzy on the bus and when we arrived at the came, they had sat on the same sit in the bus too.They seem happy together, well I was not staring at them, I only happened to see him every time I look up, though he was not looking my way."Did you see that swimming pool?" Janet asked and I turn my attention back to my friends. "I can't wait to get into it." She hugs herself and smiles broadly. "It will be like heaven
The football match started, and as always the girls started their bets and taking sides, few were chit-chatting and other's were cheering the players on.Kelly turned to me when she noticed I was just watching the field absent-minded. "Cindy, are you still choosing Jeffrey's team?""Ni," I told her immediately, not even wanting to hear his name mentioned around me.Janet and Kelly were both surprised, I knew I chose his team last time, but this time I was rooting only for Russeli, if Jeffery loses, other students who admire him will know there is nothing special in him, but his looks."I choose Russeli's team this time," I said with a serious face and turn my eyes to watch the match, behind I could hear Suzy telling her friends she bet her life to it that Jeffery will win this time too.I was seriously watching this match, I saw Russeli's team dribbling the ball to the other post, but Jeffery always defend their post and kicked the ball off.I could see
After the football match was done by the boys, MR. Henry told us, girls, to get ready to run the marathon, he had told us before the camping that we should all be ready for events that will take place on Beckswood.He handed each of us a map and we glance through it. “This is the map for the marathon race, we will all meet again at the finish line.” He pointed in a direction and we all turned to see.The others that are not participating in the race were all sitting in an elevated place. “The winner will represent our school in the competition coming up next year.” He continued.I glance through the group of the female student who was standing next to me and my eyes met Suzy, I looked down at her feet and saw that she was wearing the Sneakers Jeffery bought for her, I looked up at her face and she was smiling at me, as she put her legs out for me to see it.That evil b**ch!After he was done addressing us, the marathon race begins, ho
I opened my eyes and it was already dark, I was happy that I survived the fall, but my body ache and hurts, I felt like I was bleeding all over, the hole was dark and cold and I curled myself up and hugged my knees as warm tears rolled down my cheek.I looked up and it was already dark, It was noon when we set out for the race and I wonder what time it was now, I had left my phone at the camp and had no way to communicate with the others.“Help me, anybody out there, help please.” I have lost all my strength and I was sure my voice hasn’t gone beyond this hole, who would possibly hear me or come to my rescue, it was late and the only thing around here may be a wild animal.I looked around but I couldn’t see anything, I was too scared, my imaginations run wide, I wonder if this was a wild animal’s home if this was where I would die and no one would find me.I have not seen this hole and if they come to find me, will anyone imagine I a
