home bcos i was so weak and angry.
When i got home,i saw only my mum and greeted her,
she responded and noticed that am not happy ***
Mum: what is the problem?
Me: problem? There is not problem mum.

So tell me,why are you not happy and
why did you come back early today?
Me: only science student have lesson today,

Mum: only science student! alrite…
*** i went inside my room. After doing some of my evening duties and some cooking,we ate and when i tried
to read my books as usual but i couldn’t do that
bcos thoughts about company was just running through
my mind.
After some minutes,mrs sharp sharp called me…
She was asking me,how do i do and other things.
She asked me,why am i absent in the school that day?
I told her that i came to school but my parent called me home….

she told me that she want to see me tomorrow in her house..
I told her that i don’t think it will be possible bcos am not
sure if i will come to school.
After our discussion,i droped my phone and
tried to concentrate in what am reading.
In the morning, i prepared to school,
when i got to our schoolgate, i decided to go to harrison’s house and stay for a moment.
When i got there,harrison was in a haste to school and
i told him that i will stay in his house,
he said ”ok” and gave me his key and left.
I read some of my textbooks when i got inside the room.
At around 11am that day,
princess entered.
I didn’t knw that,
they are some boys following her………….
