They hardly had chats, let alone general ones at that. She was never comfortable around her. She knew she had to save some of the money for her hair, and for fun of course, her fun was having the good stuff, she loved food so much so to her that was her fun.
The big problem with the fun was that it had to come with its perks which were expensive. It wasn’t going to be really fun without her friends, so for her friends to be part of the fun she wanted, she knew she would have to explain where she had got the money and that was for her to know, it was personal, private and confidential.
She knew telling her best friend about the white man story would just be a shout out to everyone, and the school would see her as a prostitute. Not that her best friend was a news spreader, no, she wasn’t, but Candice was mature enough to know in he
Life is hard when you don't have parents, or perhaps I should say biological parents. You always feel like life isn’t fair all the time, always drowning in depression and anxiety which happens to be one of the major factor which contributes to suicide. It becomes hectic when you are a teenager, no matter how hard your guardian can try , but an orphan will never see or view it well, they always feel like nah this isn't enough, my mom would be doing better than this! You know...it's just natural feeling this way up until you .find happiness and you are happy.
The guy was good looking, he had the looks, especially the looks that drove Candice mad, and actually, she had a soft spot for him, or maybe a little crush if there is something of that existence. “Thanks lov… I mean thanks Mark, thanks really, you look good too, and actually you always look good”. She looked at him straight in the eyes and he did some blushing to. “Agh nah, not like you though, you are always on point”, they both laughed. It was time for her to drop off, they hugged, he told her his doors were open if ever she needed help with anything and she appreciated that. They planned they were going to meet on a Friday when she came back from school just to do a few exam papers. They hugged, and she
Fortunately for her she was the "non school date", otherwise that was going to be a big blow for her. She really hated getting embarrassed in front of her boyfriend. School wasn't bad for her, although the pressure was sitting of her throat. But then she remembered she had a Mastermind in Mathematics, as soon as that thought slipped her mind, she put I her head that she had to call the guy. "Guys, am afraid I have to leave you now, I really had a good time, actually you made my day.". Candice said it full of laughter on her face. One of her classmates added " surely guys, it has to be more like a picnic next time, just chill in a park before we sit down for our final exams". They all agreed to that, although Candice couldn't control herself, the only thing that spun in her mind was to hear the guy saying he is home and obviously not busy. They all hugged, then she parted a
Things went to the next level, they had sex, they were both enjoying it like nothing else mattered. It was done, just like that, they didn't make love, but they had sex, just sex, that's all. As soon as they were done, Charles went out with Candice remaining behind on that bed. She didn't know how to react or feel, u mean she really liked the guy and now this! She enjoyed it all that had happened but felt like a slut, to sleep with a guy she wasn't dating wasn't cool at all. She dressed herself up and checked the time, she realized it was getting late. So by that, they tide up and prepared to leave the house before it was too late, and they did just that. Candice still found it shocking or maybe terrifying, she had done something she never thought she would eve
She wondered why her love life was always upside down, she was just having a bad luck with every guy that she got herself involved with. But then she wiped her tears and prepared for school. Candice was the type of a girl that hardly forgets, she always recalled things that even happened in her Chilhood when she was around 3 years, she was a very beautiful kid just like she was even in her teen years. Nothing much had changed in her beauty and personality. On her way back home from school, she saw a young boy in primary, not in a good situation or state. A torn jersey, dirty collar of shirt, old school shoes with a torn bag and scribe hair it was. She felt so bad on the inside, she got all emotional, wished to do something to help but unfortunately she co
"Tell me! " Candice got attacked by a strong heartbeat when she heard those words. " Are those dishes from last night or you all decided to wake up early and cook rice for breakfast? She proceeded before she even responded simply because she knew the answer to that. " I always make sure that you all get what you want but all you do is disappoint me everyday, and I don't understand why when I give you food everyday, have you ever gone to bed with an empty stomach? Of course not, reason being I give you food". Candice was getting used to using energy drinks just to sleep off the sleep. She worked hard, she tried her very best to study although her school work wasn't taken seriously.
She was forced to wake up early and do house chores whether she liked it or not, and that was the worst part of it. She usually grabbed two slices of empty bread and make her way to school. The only thing that spun on her mind was her dream, a dream that was rare, a passion that was hard to find in her realm, passion that was never found or even studied in varsities or colleges, that was writing. The way she loved it was beyond human expression, it's the only thing she knew and loved, so she decided to balance things out. Passion and exams it was. Boys aside. Studying was the only thing she thought of even at break time, she wasn't the only one though, she was with her classmates. Unfortunately they began with the hardest, trickiest paper which we all know of.&
Her family knew about it,her father was the most happy soul,he didn't believe it. Her family always thought that she always went to town just because she had a boyfriend or she wanted to hang out with friends. Truth is she was getting bored,staying home was more like staying in prison,besides the endless chores,it emotionally drained her. It was always a thought or a memory that came in her mind,followed by pain that ended in tears that flew down like a fountain. As it was an extended family that was complicated in a complicated way,not everyone was happy for her. Fake smile never costs anybody, that's exactly what Candice received after telling them the good news, but she was expecting it at least. She was just used to it. So she decided to ignore it and focus on what was useful.
Wisdom opened the door for her,he was just a civilized gentleman. He was driving a fancy car,Eco sport it was,with its shiny blue color,it was just beautiful. " Candice, ohhh,let me ask you before we even go further,how do you want me to call you? Must i use your name or you would like it more if i could call you sweetheart?". She smiled. " Lol no the name is just okay. Just when she was about to open the car door,he stopped her. " No dear,that's my job,don't worry. I dated you so that gives me no choice but to treat you like the princess that you are. They ordered after getting their menus and had their lunch. Candice blushed in front of him,she really liked the guy so much that she wished they were a couple already.
