I rushed out of the house with my swollen eyes and my head down then bumped into someone, I looked up and saw our school beauty, she was adored by everyone in the school because of her beauty. She smiled my way and said,
“Hey, watch where you going. ”
I looked at her and she saw my swollen eyes and asked worriedly,
“What's going on, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you?”
I looked at her worried face and thought why is she worried about me? I'm neither her friend or family.
I looked down at her and saw that she was dressed in a mini blouse and a mini flared skirt. Her dress looked as if she was going or on the beach.
‘Wow this girl can dress, doesn't she feel uncomfortable? ’
I smiled and replied to her,
“I'm okay, but you why are you dressed like this? Don't you feel uncomfortable?”
She looked down at me and smirked, and said,
“You that have being dressing decently, what have you gained from that? You are as beautiful as I am but look at you. I have being watching you, you either get beaten or insulted almost everytime, even though you don't do anything wrong. Poor girl, anyway, am off to see a friend goodbye. ” she narrated.
I saw her walk away swaying her hips as she walked away from me.
I immediately called after her,
‘I don't have anywhere to go as at this moment anyway, I couldn't possibly go into that house with my mom in there. She will have to calm down first, then I can sneak in. ’ I thought.
“Lydia please wait for me!!” I shouted.
She stopped and turned my way with a little frown on her face , and asked,
“You are not going to talk about my hairstyle next right? If not I am going to get very angry with you. ”
I rushed to her and stopped to look at her,
“Hmm, now that you I look closer I think you shouldn't dye your hair this... I am sorry, because I am always criticized for the little things I do, I think I am picking up that attitude too. ” I was saying but stopped to apologize.
She looked at me with pity in her eyes but then who was to pity the other?
“Can I go with you to where you are going? Wait, you are not visiting a boy right? You know it's wrong to visit a boy at this time right? Let's visit a girl in your class okay?” I asked.
“And you who agreed to allow you tag along that you are there making rules?” she questioned.
“I'm sorry I have nowhere to go at the moment, so can I come with you?” I humbly requested.
She looked down at me and said,
“You are still in your uniform so can you go back to your house and change into something else?’
I shook my head hurriedly and she nodded and quipped,
“Okay, then let's go to my house so you can change into something else. ”
I agreed and followed her, she lives two blocks away from my home and I had not seen the whole family together but I had caught a few glimpses of her father a few times. We got to the house and I saw her mother sitting on a couch in the hall, the minute she saw me, she smiled my way and asked,
“How are you doing dear?”
I smiled and replied,
“I am fine mom. ”
But what surprised me was Lydia's attitude towards her mother.
“How she is doing is none of your business. ” she said rudely.
Then she pulled me to go but I refused, her mother apologized to me and asked me not to mind her daughter's behavior. But then I thought she was the one she was being rude to and not me. Lydia only sneered and pulled me to her room which was downstairs. ‘She gets to escape faster when she's been beaten but I don't see that happening in this house and as to who would want to escape. ’ I thought.
I dressed in a sleeved yellow dress that got to my knees and I thought that Lydia too had such dresses in her closet but found out that it was actually the only one of the kind in it. We got out of the house and along we went to the male friend of Hers. It seems the day wasn't yet over.
My life had never being the same after my father left the house, I heard muffled noises in my mother's room every night. I didn't know if I didn't give her the needed love she expected. Going out of the house had become a problem because I didn't want her to be alone in the house. My friends had said, I had become non approachable but I knew it wasn't my fault, I didn't want them to know my pain and get affected by it. They deserved absolute happiness and with me there they couldn't.I had limited my self to my studies and as I laid in bed thinking about what I had being taught in school, I heard my phone ringing.“Whoever it is, I am not going out. ” I muttered to myself and took my phone to see that it was actually Lucky my friend calling.‘You better have something very important to tell me for disrupting my studies. ’ I thought.“Hi, Lucky how do you do?” I greeted.“How do you do?” he responded.“This time you are calling me, what's the probl
SarahBah!!And I cried out of pain because my hurting buttocks made contact with the floor.“Ouch, that hurts. ”Then I heard the worlds amazing voice, and an extended hand.“Are you okay?”I looked up to see a pair of charming eyes looking down at me.“Hahaha!! I am okay. ” I replied.I held his hand and got up, I cleaned my forehead which now had sweat on it.God this guy makes me feel nervous. ’ I thought.“Are you okay? I mean I crashed with your chest. ” I asked.“Now that you ask, I feel the pain ooh that hurts. ” He said looking away from me.I hurriedly started massaging his chest as if doing that will release him from his pain while my buttocks was hurting severely. I looked up at him and saw a smile on his face then I realized what I was doing so I took my hand from him as if I had been electrocuted.“Are you okay now?” I asked.He smiled and answered.“I have never been better. ” Th
Third Person POVTwo people who liked each other spoke for a very long time, forgetting that time and tide waits for no man. When they realized the time, one didn't want to leave because he didn't know when he would meet her again while the other was panicking. She knew she had outstayed her purpose unknowingly and was afraid if what she was going to face in the house when she goes back. But the others saw her problem as nothing at all and tried convincing her to calm down.“I can't go home now, look at the time its ten pm how will I go home? Unless I want my death. ” Sheila said in fear.”Okay how about you come with me to my house and go back tomorrow?” Lydia suggested.“That would have been great but then that would also mean, I couldn't go back home again. ” Sheila added.“What's so dangerous about going to your own house? You have your mother and brother there. Look after you all are gone, I will be all alone in this house but see I am not complain

So he inquired,“When did you start making friends and why are you dressed like this? Did something happen here when I went to the market?”“Abu please let it go, I am both hungry and tired. I will go inside now have a good night. ” She said and made her way to the house but Abu said something which stopped her in her tracks.“Oh sorry I forgot to tell you that, the security locks has been enabled, no one can go inside and it apply to coming from inside too. Unless the madam opens up herself. ”“What? how come I didn't know about this before?”“It's because it was installed today, I might not be needed lat

The other one saw this action of hers but didn't give her out, but rather urged him to hurry up before they get caught.After he was done, he asked the other one if he won't do that but he shook his head silently. He rather bent down to pick his colleagues clothes, something peeked out of his dress which looked like a tattoo of an angel on his waist unfortunately for him, the girl saw this too. After they were done, they went out of the room with the girl lying in bed with torn clothes. She looked at the ceiling wailing as if she was mourning herself.“Why? why? where did I go wrong?

Sarah's POV‘How can this happen to me? what have I ever done wrong to my mom? I've always been a good girl right? after wasting so many years in school being humble and respectful what is the end result? I've been raped and cast out, neglected like a dirty rag. She never attended to me when I was sick, I've always struggled through my problems. Why did I expect her to hug me and comfort me this time too in my distress? ’ I asked in thought.I looked out of the only window in the security room lost in thought.“Hey what are you doing standing there? start preparing for school, I don't want to see your ugly face in this house the whole day. ” said my mother.I turned to look at myself in the mirror and look back at her.“There seems to be almost no difference between you and I , you are just older and I am younger. ”She rushed towards me and slapped me on the cheek.

She had put makeup on her oval face, her natural long eyes fluttered as she watched the proprietor who seemed stunned to even speak.“Sir you called me?”“Yes I did what's with you? why are you dressed like this? And what's with the bruises on both your hands. ” asked the proprietor.That's when she realized she had actually forgotten to cover the marks on her wrists.“Sir that's too much questions coming at I time but I can only
