Orange juice            How Friday came fast! Lillian sat in office, everything is neatly arranged,she even bought biscuits and a carton of orange juice boxes. The lunch hour just started and everywhere became rowdy. Someone knocks on the door and she asks the person to come in,she actually thought it would be the principal but who she saw surprised her and she was glad someone finally came.     "Hi,have you come for counseling?" The boy stared at her and blinked his eyes,he felt a little bit embarrassed.    "Ma,I'm Daniel,Tega Daniel" he smiled when Lillian smiled at him,he began to feel less embarrassed.    " hmmmm,I know. You know I take attendance record every morning right" she laughed at her small joke and asked him to seat.       " Wow,why did I just notice how beautiful your hair is, look at those curls,so shiny!" Lillian wants to start a conver

CHOCOLATEY COUNSELING            Lillian didn't feel like going to school,it's Wednesday morning but her will to go to school was 0.1 percent.       "Sweets,good morning" she was surprised that Mark prepared breakfast,it's been since he did that.         "Sweets,good morning" she drags a chair and sit down.        " Fried eggs,just the way you like it, MILK ADDED"      " Thanks sweets" she reaches for the egg, it smelt nice but she sincerely didn't have appetite but she ate it because Mark made it,he made it to brighten up her day.      "I don't feel like going to school,I want to quit,..quit teaching" she ate the egg and bread slowing, she mixed her tea,it wasn't necessary but she did.          "Why?

MIXED FEELINGS      Lillian was preparing everything she needed for her class trip. She wants to have fun with her students and make them see how intriguing Literature is. That morning before going to class,someone she wasn't expecting or expecting the least to visit her came,  "Emmanuel"          " Good morning ma" she stared at him in awe,he was being polite too,on other days,he would say the good morning without a "ma".         " Good morning " she replied     " You are here for counseling right? Lillian asked          " Not really,I'd  like for us to discuss"  That was it,his boldness was back,though a little.             " That day you told us about being unable to have a child, I thought it was pitiful of you, seeking attention and pity from us..but now,I really

HEAD RESTING ON THE DOOR     JULIET IVIE           I got tired of it,I get tired of it everyday. It felt suffocating, knowing all of this and not being able to share it with someone. I always looked at the mirror and I really see the resemblance, maybe it's because of what I see and hear,maybe a little part of me wanted the cool headed cook to be my dad. Maybe I hated my dad that I didn't even want him as my dad.            The first day it happened, the first time I knew,I found too many secrets in a day. My dad forgot his phone in his room,he asked me to get it from his room,I would never check my dad's phone,no I can't,it will be like a death wish but he told me he was still with my Mom for me,for me that he doesn't have any feelings for. I was walking to give my dad his phone when it received a message from Anita cutie,I thought he cheated on my mom but it was more than that,ha

Lillian stared at the envelope surprisingly. After giving her the envelope, Ada greeted Lillian.       "Good morning ma".      " Good morning,how was your night?" Ada ignored the question and Lillian asked again,Ada replied with a "it was fine" before she told Lillian what was inside the envelope.         "That is my poem,it is very short but it links to something, some weird feelings I get.

Her mock politeness was very obvious.       "I have submitted my poem,that means I can go for the trip Right" Lillian told her she could leave the office without answering her q
