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.
Candice really liked the guy,Wisdom,she fancied the face,smile,dimples,complexion and the body on it's own,but she loved the personality mostly,although she didn't know much about him.She was always the serious type,when she loved,she loved for real,she always failed to fake feelings for a guy,if she didn't feel you then that was it. As Wisdom offered her a lift to take her home,they discovered it was drizzling outside,so he quickly opened the car door for her before he went in. They got in the car and left,he dropped her at her home,but before he did,they had a little amazing chat. " Hey,i forgot to ask you,how addicted are you to your phone,i mean to say how often do you look at watsapp"? There was that silence which was caused by Candice for staring at him up unt
Candice always had a good memory in terms of old events that took place in her past life,she even recalled some events that had occurred when she was 3 or 4 years old. That's how smart she was in the category. Even in her teen years,you would never cross her with words,she was smart,she caught them very fast and easily,and once she did,she never forgot it. Every term has its power,love has power,life has power,education has power,faith has power but nothing fore beats the "The power of words". That's what gives us the strength to carry on,the strength to fight,the strength of confidence,the strength of weakness and that of failure.But then no human soul has ever got a chance to choose a mother,a father,a home,town,country,life status
Just like everyone else, failing was the last thing she ever wanted. Failing would mean, no varsity, no happiness, no joy but misery would be her new middle name because she hated home, she hated doing one and the same thing daily. The house chores felt like a schedule of everyday and they were. She imagined herself viewing the results and just as she was, she discovered she had more credits than she was expecting, she had passed. Strange enough because she sometimes had terrible results so she didn't know what to believe anymore. But then Candice was the queen of faith, she had it in her, it was natural faith.As expected, seconds fell into minutes, minutes fell into hours, hours fell into days, days which completed a week, a week that was last for results to be out. At least her IGCSE results were not like the grade 10 resul
" Hello, how are you? It's been long how have you been"?His eyes were glowing, bright, shining like a star in the dark. He hugged her like his very own natural daughter, and that, you see that excitement she had, she felt like she really was his daughter, she felt warmly welcomed. " Morning sir, am okay, I've been around, I believe you know that I got a job as a columnist, so yeah, am pushing"... She smiled, but it wasn't a normal smile, actually she did smile but there was this voice that reminded her about her results, that's when her face changed, and her principal noted that." It's really good to see you, I believe you are here for the results isn't it? She agreed with him. They proceeded h
It was a night, in his house, whereby he felt like he was missing Candice and they had allowed 4 days to pass by, not allowing themselves to at least spend time together like they used to, the results had set them apart. The results didn't make him happy too, yes they weren't that bad but they were not great too. The fact that they didn't thrill him made it obvious that they also didn't thrill Candice. " Let me take my phone and text her, check if she can come out of the house to here just for an hour or so. " He decided to text her yet it was late, not very late on his side but it was late. The situation wasn't good for her go out of the house, but since she was a smart girl, one with all possibilities, she made a plan like she always did, like she always had.
" Go and take my morning shoes in the bedroom, the floor is a bit cold ". She stood up, went to look for them without an issue. She felt different about doing what she was asked to do because it had never happened before. She came back with them, brought them to him, presented them with two hands with respect. He just smiled at her and made her sit on his lap. They watched a funny romantic comedy of which it was Candice's favorite kind of thing."Babe, may you please switch on the electric gezer for me, I just want to run a quick bath to make myself warm before I get into bed.". She was in the bedroom planning to go and take a bath in the bathroom, or at least shower.
