Angela

"How many times have I told you not to show your face near my friends! , you good for nothing", a young boy shouted.

The slim girl, fifteen years old, who was hiding from a distance not to be noticed, almost broke her leg while running upon hearing the boy. ''now today you're gonna get it Angela...".

She went back home, though she was calm on the outside. Her heart couldn't hold it any more as she thought what punishment she was going to get this time.

' Why did she have to leave the house to go peep on her younger sibling playing, if only she had stayed quietly like always, she wouldn't be in such a situation to begin with.'

" anyways what's there to be afraid of, it's just gonna be some beatings that would last for hours from her 'parents' then go to sleep on an empty stomach, what was their to be afraid of a couple of whips won't kill her....hmmmmmnh".

When night came she sat silently by the window gazing at the dazzling lights, from afar. The cool breeze, were always cool enough to heal the pain on her body and she would be alright in the morning after taking a couple of pain killers.

It's like she had gotten used to it.

" It's morning again, if only the nights were a little bit longer..…..oh my goodness!, it's 5:35 already" she exclaimed and jumped out of bed to start her morning chores and prepare her other siblings for School.
