I clutched the strap of my school bag tightly over my shoulder as I walked through the hallways with Beatrice holding my left hand and Leticia by my other side.
Beatrice had nearly choked me this morning due to her tight hug and thanking God she didn't lose me and ever since she has been holding my hands all through the ride to school and even at this moment crouching at thought of losing me.
After the life-threatening incident yesterday, we returned to the shore immediately and Mr. Kent told us to pack up and we would leave that evening.
I felt like nauseating due to the curious stared I got from the students that lurked around in the hallway.
"I heard she got pushed into the water and nearly died," A girl whispered to her friend who just bored holes on me.
I cringed at the memory of me sinking deep into the waters, wi

"That's a lie! You pushed her into the ocean," Leticia shouted as Mr. Golfray hit the table with his palms making a slight thud as he silenced Leticia."Mr. Golfray I'm pretty sure my daughter can't do such a ridiculous act throwing someone off the ship," Jenny's mum said as I stared at the wealthy class lady who was dressed in a short gown that reached her knee with pieces of jewelry that glorified her neck and hands."Like mother, like daughter," Leticia scoffed while Mr. Golfray faced her taking off his glasses."Miss.

The siren sound of the ambulance made spooky emotions in me as I held my mum's hand and watched her struggling to cough with the oxygen covering her nose and mouth. I cried silently watching her in this state, my heart drenched in fear as I tried to stop myself from thinking she's dying and nothing will happen to her. In no time we got to the General hospital and I watched my mum being wheeled out on the sick bed from the ambulance bus by the nurses into the hospital. I muffled my sobs, clamping my palms over my mouth as I felt my face soaked with tears. I ran behind them and they turned in another direction in the hospital as I tried to follow them. "You can't go in," one of the male nurses said stopping me from getting into the emergency room as I stared at him in dismay. I saw the doctors striding in as they put on their hand gloves and I sighe

Never in my life did I imagine I would be standing in front of my mum's burial ground so soon in the vast cemetery.I felt completely void having to lose both of my parents so soon.I wondered what they did badly that life had to deal with them so cruelly... and to us.Now I'm an orphan...My parents were the happiest thing I ever wished for when they were alive but now that they were gone, I felt like an empty shell, a lackluster that is spiritless and hollow.I cried bitterly with Beatrice by my side hugging me with one of her arms wrapped around my waist while I rested my head on her shoulder as the Reverend father read from scriptures over my dead mother's casket place in the ground waiting to be covered by the heap of sand beside it as he performed the funeral rite.My mum's boss, Beatrice and her mum, Leticia, Lillian and I were the ones present to say

Mum wouldn't be happy to see me shut me from the world. I needed to be strong, just as she made me promise her to.I sighed taking in my features in the mirror, I had lost weight a bit because I thought it was best to starve myself to death and meet my mum.A tear slipped down my face and I exhaled out wondering when the tears would ever end.I took a close look at myself and noticed the awkward dark circles beneath my eyes.I had been having terrible nightmares that made it unbearable for me to sleep.
