K•E•L•S•I:::: Few years back Dad lost his job as a banker, he was a honest man, the only honest man I have known all my life.Colleagues at his work place tried to lure him into embezzling some of the company's fund which he vehemently refused, one was  because he was a Christian and sees that as a sin, and two because of the trust and love his wife and daughter have for him.Dad was honest in everything he does, some of the workers framed him up, accused him of lavishing the company's money and although the manager had a record of his honestly did not arrest him, but told him to leave the company.That was how dad lost his job.Dad was positive he would get another job soonest, seeing he has good grades and a very good working experience.All hope to get another job became fruitless even as he tried harder, and things started getting worse gradually and the economy of the country too was not helping at

K•E•L•S•I:::: Mum had to do everything from laundry to cleaning the house, cooking..... Which we did not mind atall.I noticed Mrs Raphael wasn't happy with her husband generosity, but I ignored it because of how overjoyed we were.He showed us everywhere in the building and also show us where we will be staying.The room he gave us was small, but better and more comfortable than that shade we slept last night, with a bed that can accommodate two  people, Chair and table well furnished, what more can we ask for?We quickly arranged our luggages, and mum went out to start her new job as a maid, leaving me alone in the room.I was grateful to God and Mr Raphael too.I got excited about the new school I will attend, questions kept popping in my head.' when will I start this new school?""How will I cope with the new school and the new environment?"I wish dad was still alive wi

K•E•L•S•I:::: The closing bell rang, I was the first to rush out of the class, I honestly don't belong here! I hasten my footsteps as i wanted to go home on time.Parents were coming to pick their children, flashy cars were everywhere it was noisy and that made me feel sick the more.I knew I had to trek home, i didn't waste a moment to start my journey home.I walked out of the gate eager to get home, cover myself with a duvet and forget about today.I started trekking under the hot sun, when I got to the junction where there was a pothole with water, I waited for some drivers to pass so I can continue, while trying to pass through the pothole avoiding the water, a vehicle from no where splashed the dirty water on my body, I suddenly became chill wet from head to toe including my school bag.I looked at there I saw the driver slowed down and Anita head came out of the car window laughing.I couldn't

K•E•L•S•I:::: The sport teacher asked him to introduce himself."My name is Lexy Ideh",  his smooth voice came out"Ideh?"  That Sounds familiar.......

K•E•L•S•I:::: "Kelsi, What's happening here?"Who's that? Mum asked coming towards me with the things she bought, while looking at Anita departing figure. "Uhm....She's just a friend", I smiled, taking the goods from my mum who look unconvinced about my reply, I knew she could see my unsettled body language."She is my Friend mum, ermm.... I mean my class mate, she was greeting me" I grinned, trying to reassure my mother. "Alright", mum said. "let us start going it's getting late already" I was relieved, finally she reluctantly accepted. I was glad Anita didn't not meet mum,and mum didn't meet her. I hope they don't cross paths. I really hope so. ***********We came back late and quickly make dinner for the Raphael's, while mum was still cooking I went outside to complete my assignment
