Prologue

It was evening and everywhere was getting dark. I knew my mum would arrive anytime soon, so I

had to go home fast. I went home' opened the door and ran into my room waiting for my mums

arrival. In less than five minutes she was home. I know she would be calling and shouting my

name anytime soon.

Rejoice mhi, Rejoice!! She called.

Yes mum, I said as I ran out of my room to go meet her to avoid any form of annoyance.

I saw you enter the house just now,where were you coming from? My mum asked me

Then I told her I went to my neighbour's house to have reading session with him , Wilson's house

to be precise. She was so annoyed with me, I had to look for ways to calm her down. M um

I know you told me not to have anything to do with boys but you have to understand me, I'm

really lacking behind in my government, so I just had to do it.

It looked like she was going to slap me but I never knew she would do something worse than

that. Anyways, where are your brothers? She asked.

They are in their room quarrelling as always. I told her.

Your punishment!!! You are grounded for two weeks. It sounded like a bomb just exploded. She

should have slapped me or beaten me, I said within myself.
