Chapter 7
Peach, the nickname my mom called me. Since I was a child, I have never heard her calling me Charity, it is always: Peach, my Peach, darling Peach. I guess the name equally made her feel she had to protect me from the world. Whenever I was found derailing from the blue print she would get mad and just transfer it all on the people around. One time in middle school I made friends with a gay girl, Bennie and my mom freaked out when she found out about it. ******“Hey you disgrace to nature; you must have deceived my Peach into becoming friends with you cos Peach does not mingle with your kind” she spoke“Mom please it was my fault, I approached her”“No Peach you do not have to defend her, I know her type and I know you” *********After that day Bennie never spoke to me again and I do not blame her, I would not speak to me too if I was in her position. Gays avoided me in middle school, in fact everyone avoided me because no one knew the type of people my mom detested so to stay on the safe side everyone just stayed away from little Peach. ******“You see what I’m talking about they are not only indecent in their looks but they also have sharp tongues, although the tongue should fit the owner so I’m not surprised”.After the scene she created that day, well the girls did not speak to me again, we were basically living in the same room without living in the same room. I was like the black sheep; they did everything together like roommates did, my room mates would always leave for parties, come home drunk and all. They went to classes together, went to the mall together, went to grocery shop together, went to parties together, you name it and whenever I tried to talk to them, they would just ignore me. I was basically invisible in that room.I had a long day today, I spent 6 straight hours in class listening to lectures then I had to go to the library and read, I decided to go have some rest I headed to the room and discovered the door to the room was locked my key could not open it, yep it was locked from the inside.“Hey open the door” I screamed as I banged the door“Please open the door” I continued“I know you can hear me open the door” no one responded.“Sam that’s enough torture, you have punished her enough now” I could hear muttering from inside and it sounded like Tiffany“I’m going to open the door Sam”“Do not even think about it, if you open that door then you stand outside with her” that’s was when the muttering stopped.I stayed outside till the next day. When I woke up and discovered it was morning, I tried banging again then I realized the door was unlocked.“I hope you are finally satisfied after the stunt you pulled” I spoke as I walked up to Sam, she acted like she was ignorant of what I was talking about“Hey I’m talking to you” I spoke in a furious tone as I headed towards her.“Okay girls that’s enough that’s enough, settle down guys settle down”. Tiffany immediately intervened as she stopped me from moving further“Chill out guys chill out woah” she added.“You should have let her come why stop her, I wanted to see what she was about to do” Sam spoke“Oh, you wanted to see what I could do huh, I can show you wh..”“Enough girls, enough yessssh” Tiffany immediately cut in“What’s your problem anyway Peach” she asked “I do not know maybe the fact that you do not even know my name for starters, I mean we have literally been roommates for two weeks but you do not know my name” I spoke“Well cut us some slack on that, your mom literally humiliated us, I mean she practically looked at us like second grade humans” Tiffany replied“And I tried apologizing but I was not given a chance to” I added“With the way you looked at us that day, it didn’t actually seem like you thought different from your mom”. She continued“Hmph, I’m truly very sorry for the way my mom and I behaved , I know we must have hurt your feelings and I’m sorry, I don’t want our relationship to continue like this” I said apologetically“it’s fine but your mom should know we are humans too and she shouldn’t judge us just by our appearance” Tiffany added“Look I’m very sorry for the way my mother acted, she’s just insecure with me and all I know and I won’t let first impression be the judge of our relationship here and I want to get to know you guys” I said as I gave a welcoming look“It’s fine, now intro shall we” she added“Oh yeah, I’m Charity” I included“Oh Charity, nice name but I think I prefer Peach” she said as she chuckled“Well, I’m Tiffany’’ she added“Yeah I know” I said as we both turned to Sam as she ignored us, hummed Billy jean by Michael Jackson and left the room“Do not worry about Sam’s behavior, she is like that she will come around eventually” Tiffany concluded. ******My roommates are party animals, no day went by without them going to parties and returning home drunk. On some occasions they would stay out till dawn and then would not attend lectures for that day, that was the kind of life my mom detested, she always warned me about parties, alcohol and weed. On days I wasn’t around Tiffany would bring guys and make out in the room, probably Sam would too but I’m not all that sure about her own dirt cos she does not tell me afterwards like Tiffany does. I ignored it cos they did it when I wasn’t around ******I had a short day at school today, less lectures, no strength to read at the school’s library so I decide to go the room earlier to catch some sleep before waking up and reading, I made my way to the room and what I see totally disgusts me. I saw Sam, the obviously gay one making out with a girl in my department named Nicole.“Jesus Sam” I Shouted as all the books in my fell from my hand. I saw them kissing and touching places they should, they were literally removing each other’s clothes and getting prepared for the real deal when I barged in.I mean I knew they’d bring people and make out with them but I never knew I would get to see it“Hey Peach you should really learn to mind your own business and stay out of others” Sam said as she had gotten annoyed over my reaction towards what she happened.“Well it’s not my fault I got to see what I shouldn’t have, I mean why will you be making out in the room” I concluded as I left ******I left and I came back in the night and I saw the both of them dressing up to probably go to another party. Do they ever get tired of all these partying or were they just caught out for parties and stuff.“Hey Char babe why don’t you join us today?” Tiffany asked as she was dressing up to go to a party“No, the mummy’s girl would not go, her mom might scold her” Sam said as she laughed“Look Sam I know you’re still upset over what happened and I’m sorry about it” I apologized as she ignored me.“Mummy’s Peach can not go to such gatherings; they would corrupt her” She continued.What she said had upset me as I stood and watched her“If you want to prove her wrong your going to put on a sexy gown and you are going to attend that party with us” Tiffany added“Okay Fine I’ll go” I responded as Sam looked surprised.“Then get into something sexy, don’t go looking like that” Tiffany said as she looked at me like I was disgusting“If I’m going then I’ll wear whatever I want” I said as I looked awayChapter 8“Fine I’ll will go”. I got ready and we left for the party, well by ready I do not actually mean that I wore sexy clothes or anything, nope It was just mu usual hoodie and jeans.“Yuck what is that, all that” Tiffany asked as she pointed at what I was putting on“I told you; you made a mistake by inviting her” Sam added as she laughed“What are you wearing, what exactly are you wearing” Tiffany continued“I don’t know clothes?” I asked sarcastically“No, no, no, certainly no” she added as Sam continued laughing“There is no way you are going with me dressed like that, I mean you look so…...” she continued as she looked at meme awkwardly“I told you already that if I was going to go to this party then I would dress the way I like and feel comfortable in and there is nothing absolutely you can say or do to make me change my mind” I said as I gave her a fake smile.“At least pull off the hoodie and find a better top” she said“Absolutely nothing” I concluded as I looked away“Fi
Chapter 9I was already used to Davis’s bullying since we were in preschool. I mean Davis had always bullied me, he would call me ugly, break my glasses, laugh at me whenever he passed me in class, throw away my food, call me goblin, drag my hair, force me to be his slave and many more and then whenever he helped me and saved me from being bullied by others he would feel like a king who just saved his people or a hero in a movie Akshay Kumar starred, you know when Akshay saves the heroine, he has this moment where he is allowed to walk in with slow Mo and then his hair is flipped by the wind, yep that kind of scene. In high school I was made to follow him anywhere he went for 2 months just because a kid named Rolley called me goblin and then hero Davis Kumar walks in a shuns him from it then tells him only he has the right to call me goblin and that if he ever hears anyone calling me a goblin he would cut his tongue out, yep a drama queen, I had skipped a lot of classes because I was
Chapter 10Davis Garraway and I have not been the best of friends all these years. We were always at each other, at school, at home and everywhere in between. Davis had always bullied me that sometimes I cried. On my 10th birthday party although I didn’t invite him, I never would, my mom invited him. The party was going smoothly, my mom invited friends and I had invited mine too, then the one and only Davis Garraway made his entrance to my party and yep he made sure his entrance was grand. You should have known what he can do, yeah I know now back to the story. His entrance was grand, the party became all about him, yeah typical Garraway. Then when the type for the presentation of gifts came, everyone gave me remarkable gifts then Davis stood and watched them, then he claimed last to present the gift. He handed his gift over to me and just when I was about to keep it in the pile where other gifts were.“Why don’t you open mine right now” Davis said out loud as the entire crowd’s atten
Chapter 11“I want a new look” I replied as she looked at me in what I would call shock of a lifetime, you know when something close to impossible happens, that look you would have, yep, yep that was the look Tiffany had.“Say what?” she asked in utter disbelief.It is not like I’m stressing or something or maybe I’m asking her to do something out of her power. It was something she enjoyed doing, dolling people up was like her thing, she was known to fix the saddest of girls and make them princesses overnight, that was her gift I would say, so I was doing her a favor actually, she was going to have another gig to do.Davis made series of comments to me these few days and I wanted him to feel shocked the next time he sees me, no, no, no, that came out wrong, I meant I wanted those that laughed at me be wowed when next they see me not like I had Davis particularly in my mind, it was general.Does getting a good life mean staying away from things that makes life interesting?I mean I d
Chapter 12“No Davis we should not be doing this, we should not be doing this Davis no” he kissed me so passionately as he looked me in the eye and I could see the smirk in his eyes.I wanted it too and although I struggled a little I finally gave in, he kissed my neck and was unhooking my bra…“Charity!!!!” Tiffany Shouted“Wake up Charity, you asked me to wake you up you mentioned something about a big test today” she continued“You usually don’t need people waking you up or did you have something strong to drink at the party?” she asked“was it a dream” I said out loud “huh” Tiffany asked as she looked puzzled “Oh, it’s nothing” I concluded as I looked away to prevent further questions.“What are you talking about?” she asked confused“Nothing, Nothing” I said as I got up“It does not seem like nothing”“I had a bad dream okay, now you better get going before you are late” I said as I tried to end the conversation.“Okay, if you say so, Sam already left earlier, there is cerea
Chapter 13Then he kissed me. Davis Garraway kissed me; he pulled me closer and ran his hands through my hair.“You have silky hair” he commended as he kissed my neck, his hands made it’s way to my waist as he held it so tight, he pulled in again as he kissed me again, this time his lips and mine were locked as his tongue explored my mouth. He placed his other hand on my laps as he caressed it and slowly went upwards towards the region the towel had covered, I was already in that mood as I could also feel his erection. His hands made it’ s way underneath the towel as he dragged me towards the bed, he left me and was attempting to pull off his clothes when I do not know why but I pushed him off of me.“What are you doing Davis?” I asked with my eyes still closed“You are making me feel things I should not feel” he responded“We shouldn’t be doing this Davis, leave this room” I said as I stood up to walk away, he brought forth his hands to drag me back and caught the towel, the towel f
Chapter 14The party was going well not until Davis and Andera appeared. “Wow, they actually look fire” Jordan spoke as Davis and Andera made their way to our table“Hey what’s popping guys” Davis spoke as he exchanged the normal guy’s pleasantries: handshakes and knuckle chops.“Dude, you look fire” Mark added“For reals man, I mean I’m the birthday girl but you just had to come and steal my shine man” Jordan added as he shook hands with Davis.“I mean what can I do, grand entrances are kind of a Davis thing” he added“And I see you brought company, the both of you together?” Jordan asked as he looked at Andera“Well, we are no..” Davis was about to speak“Yes, yes we are” Andera immediately answered“I knew it”, they looked it” Anna spoke“Uhh, Davis but I always gave you green light” Sweedy said dramatically as everyone laughed“But for reals man she is gorgeous” Jordan added “Well not as gorgeous as your hyperbolic statement suggests” A voice spoke from the background as the fig
Chapter 15“You are welco….” I was about to complete the statement when someone grabbed my arm and dragged me outside.“Let go of me” I said We got outside a few meters away from the house where the party was being conducted when Davis released his grip on my arm. Yep you heard me, the person that dragged me out of the party was the famous devil, Davis Garraway.“What is your problem dude you always act like a psycho and ouch” I said as I gripped my arm in pain.“Why did you dance with him?” he asked.“I really do not think I owe you any explanations” I replied as I turned to leave, he grabbed my arm again“I asked you a question, why did you dance with him?? You let him hold your waist and the both of you were too close” he said“How is that your business Davis? how does it concern you Garraway? when did me dancing with someone become your business Davis Garraway?” I replied as I snapped my arm out of his grip.“Listen do not ever in your life touch me again Mr. hit and run” I conc
