“How are you doing love?” mum asked when I came down the stair while knotting my tie.
I raised my head to look at her smiling face and smiled in return. I got down and went to hug her then sat in between my brother and Leo.
“I am fine mum”
“Good, what of your twin? Still sleeping?” mum asked but before I could answer Danielle already answered.
“I am here mama” she went down the remaining stairs and pecked mum on the cheeks before sitting across me.
“Thank GOD I didn’t have to bang on your door to get you to wake up”
“Du,h” she stuck her tongue out at me and threw some bit of her bread then threw at it at me.
“You do not want to
“So, your nightmares aren't as frequent as before?” I paused from putting the forkful of pasta in my mouth and turned to look at my dad who was sitting at the head of the table. I placed the fork back on my plate and looked around to see I wasn't the only one who paused after hearing that question. Although I am not sure if my siblings know about the little weird remarks dad says in a whisper to me or in front of mum but he is asking this was… should I say strange, unbelievable, weird… I don't know but his job was to mock me, not ask if I was doing fine and if the nightmares had stopped haunting me. I looked back at him and saw the expectant look on his face then to my mum who threw him a glare before meeting my gaze. She shook her head no and looked at me with those eyes I never wanted anyone to look at me in.&n
“Thank GOD we will soon vacate for the term,” Danielle said and I looked at her with my eyebrows raised. “That’s what you should be saying when the term is coming to an end, we just started the term girl” I reminded her and she threw me a glare in return. “You didn't have to remind me” “I just need to be sure you are in your right state of mind,” I said taking off the Ankara kimono and the matching headband. “This was amazing, I love this gown so much,” Becca said twirling around in a mid-thigh length green flare gown with brown flower imprints. She wore brown flats and a headwrap turban to go with the dress. “I like the kimono I wore too, these girls are super talented.” I
We got back from the little treat Rachael gave us and it was amazingly awesome, the food there made sense and I would definitely want to go there again.We will come to a conclusion whether that would be our new spot or we will just stick with the old one.We really enjoyed ourselves but I noticed something strange or rather someone strange. We sat at the table close to where they attend to customers and the sink to wash my hand was close to the door, and because I opted for Fufu and egusi instead of Beans and bread I went to wash my hand there before our food was brought to us.I went to wash my hands when I caught a glimpse of a particular man and I swear he looks so familiar, I was kind of shaken because it feels like this man was super close to me in some ways but I
“Get up” I pushed my pained body further under the table and away from him. The last thing I want right now is to be close to him.“Org, leave her. Dont scare her more than she is already” Del told him and a scoff went out of Org’s lips and his footsteps faded and I opened my eyes to see that he was with Del but they were talking in hushed voices.Once in a while, they would glance at me, well mostly Org but that was all. Sighing and cleaning both the fresh and dried tears from my eyes I moved my body out from under the table and managed to sit up then leaned my back on the table drawers.I closed my eyes and leaned my head back due to how hard my head is pounding and the light in the room isn't helping in any way. I could feel myself shiver a bit and I couldn't do anything to keep myse
The next day I woke up with a not surprising headache and I turned and tossed in my bed not wanting to open my eyes. Well, that is what I get for crying almost the entire night. Crybaby, you can call me that but I needed to do that. I was happy he apologized, even if he isn't sure I heard him but he did and he sounded so sorry and was sad because I wished it was sooner. At least he apologized and wants us to start all over and have the father-daughter bond I craved for every moment of my life. Another round of tears threatened to fall out but I restrained myself from allowing the emotions to get to me. Sniffing and cleaning my face, I stood up from my bed and felt dizzy so I had to sit back down so my head can get clear of any dizziness. When I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore, I stood up and took gentle steps to my
“Hi, how are you doing?” I stopped in my tracks well because Chris came to stand in my way. Letting out a sigh I looked up at him and crossed my arms. "What do you want?" I asked. "Oh come on Ella, cant I say hi to you anymore?" he asked and I rolled my eyes and tried to move past him and he stood in my way again. "What the hell Ella? Are we fighting?" "I have told you before, it is Daniella to you and no I am not fighting with you. I need to get to class before the Economics teacher gets in first, you know how strict she is and I don't want to be at her receiving end especially when she is angry" I said successfully walking past him but he didn't leave but trailed behind me. "Yeah, I remember she could be a tigres
I couldn't understand what was going on. The sky keeps getting dark and I am sure it isn't close to evening yet. I am trying to understand my situation here and not freak out. This should be a desert. A desert? Why am I in a desert? I have never been to one before. How then did I find myself here? Well, there is no one to answer my question so I just kept walking, ignoring the sand that keeps getting into my eyes due to the wind that is blowing. This place doesn't in any way seem familiar. Just sand, here and there. I couldn't even see a house or maybe a human being close by. Maybe this was a deserted place and I could see one up front. But… this is a desert my inner mind whispered to me but deciding now isn't the
“Thank GOD you came today,” I said to Leo when we entered the school compound and said bye to my siblings. “Yeah, I am glad too” he smiled at me then we walked towards the assembly ground since we came minutes after it started. When the assembly time was done everybody went to their respective classes while I and Leo walked to class together. I sat on my chair while he sat on the one beside me then we looked at each other and burst into laughter. “Why are you laughing?” I asked in between laughing and coughing he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. “Well I don’t know why are you laughing?” he asked back. I stopped laughing also and shrugged. Then I brought out my book for the present subject and so did he. I know I have mentioned this many times but I feel myself whenever I am around him. It just feels like no other person is in the room but just us. ‘More like we against the world’. Okay, Nah, let's not t
