In the Thick Trees

<p>She couldn't let him go so she went after him. "Antonio! Please wait" said the lady. It was still running she tried whatever she could to explain things to Antonio by running after him. Antonio continue walking, the rain fell off his face as drops. His hair relaxed on his face making it hard to see his face. "It was a dream I wish I never dreamt it," Antonio said to himself."Antonio! The lady called from behind please just have a minute with me," said the lady. Antonio stopped, and he turned to the direction the girl was calling him from. "What is it," Antonio asked. I just want to explain things to you and whatever you saw in there is not as it seems" said the lady "what then? How do you want to explain this to me to understand you, I just saw you went another boy on your bed and what do you expect me to do or think" said Antonio." I know you did see that boy on my bed but he's nothing to me" said the girl " so I'm nothing to you right? " A boy interrupted from behind. I've been running all because I didn't know the reason you walked out of your house in this rain and here I am Listening to you telling another boy I'm nothing to you while you just told me I'm your world" said the boy who was panting and hardly spoke but tried his best to let out his mind on what he just heard but he knew this would somehow happen because he never believes her " Thank God I never believe you the boy continue I always thought this might happen and here it is, hey boy! He pointed at Antonio "never believe this girl" he looked at her for the last time and left. "What just happened? Antonio asked "Gabriella what just happened Antonio asked again Gabriela, is the most beautiful girl in the Town of Gusta. She was known for her beauty, indeed she was beautiful but at this moment Gabriela didn't know what it meant by the world, she was beautiful but this is not the real definition of love when it comes to beauty" The teacher closed the book, the students were all quietly listening to the story Mr. Opoku the Bs.6 teacher read to them. Junior a brown hairy of age 14 stood up. His move made the whole class turn in his direction thinking of the reason he sadly stood up. " Junior if you have a question you're free to ask" Mr. Opoku assured the young boy who was standing with a whole lot of questions ramping through his mind "please Mr. Opoku, my question is, among the two boys whom do you think loved the girl? Is it the one who walked away when he saw the girl in bed with another man? Or the one who ran after the girl when he saw her walking after another man? " Mr. Opoku was amazed by the question asked by this 14-year-old boy. "That's a good question to ask, does anybody have any idea what Junior asked?" said Mr. Opoku. The class was quiet with no hands raised." Okay, I can see no one has any idea so let me tell you what I know about the question" Mr. Opoku continues, From my perspective, I think it's the one who went after the girl. But my mind changed when he said he never trusted her, how can you love someone and not trust them? Love is all about trust and without trust there's nothing called love. So to conclude my statement I'd say it's none of them because none of them dared to trust the girl. Said Mr. Opoku.It was 2:pm Junior was on his way home with Ella "yes I do but'' but what?" Junior asked again? it's clear, what else, and why are you obsessed with this? besides if someone right before you loves you, you don't see it. no wonder you don't get this as well. Ella waved at junior as she path her way home. ''see you in school'' Ella said as she walked away. junior who had been frozen by what Ella said just nodded in response to her. ''what did she mean by someone right before I loves me but I can't see it?'' he asked himself as he walked by the bushy thick tree. the place looks scary at night, because of this people normally get home earlier. it was around 5:43 pm, junior is walking in the thick tree alone. ''splash!'' a branch of a tree fell off. junior who have been thinking and not realizing where he is sadly came to himself as he heard the sound. ''splash!'' another fell. this made junior scared, he held on to his bag and walked quietly. with every step, he took, this time he wished to be at the front door of his house. a sad cold wind blew through the trees. junior hardly moved a step, as he walked by a jaint oak tree he saw something'' what is that a .... no that can't be the boy said to himself. he tried to get closer to see if it is what he was thinking. as he walked closer, he felt a cold hand holding his hand from behind '' Jesus! he shouted. Dad!, junior what are doing here by this time?'' the man asked ''dad I'm coming back from school'' junior responded ''come!'' the man said pulling junior up. Dad, I saw something'' what did you see?'' the man asked I think I saw a girl and I think she might be my age. ''okay what was she doing?'' the man asked again. ''that's why I wanted to get closer but you stopped me. said junior. ''okay son I can't say you're lying but where's the girl?'' the man asked ''she's right there'' junior said pointing to the direction he saw the girl but there stood no one. '' but I did see her dad I'm not lying'' junior shocked. '' listen, son, I believe you and I've been in the same situation when I was in love with your mother. Dad! I'm not in love and if I'm who's that then?'' junior asked confused. '' you know what? let's get home first and we'll talk about this when we get there okay?'' the man said stroking juniors here. ''but dad I did saw her, and I'm not in love''. he kept looking back as walked by his father. he wished to see her again. Dinner was served and junior was still in his room. ''Is he still in his room? I thought you called him?'' Mr. Asare asked ''I did but wonder what he's still doing over there. Miss Asare as she's normally called said as she made herself comfortable on the chair. '' junior!'' Mr. Asare called out. Dad! I'm coming junior responded. No sooner was he running from his room, he climbed down the steps as fast as he could to get to the dining room mmmm. ''Dad, sorry I was doing my homework'' he said panting.'' that's a good reason clerk said Mr. Asare as he normally calls his wife. Cler junior's mum is popularly known for her beauty. All eyes draw to her whenever she visits the market, this makes the other women jealous whenever she visits the market. ''Asare is the luckiest man on Earth''The Men normally say whenever they see Miss cler pass by.'' and what then did you think he was doing? cler asked. Junior sat right next to his mom, as it was his favorite seat. Sometimes his mother would give him extra meat. A prayer was said by Mr. Asare. ''mom, I think I saw something in the thick tree today'' said junior '' and what did you see?'' Miss caller asked. ''A girl'' junior responded ''A girl?, and what was a girl doing in that thick tree by herself?'' ask him again, he told me he did see a girl but when I check there was no one around'' Mr. Asare intruded. ''what was she doing when you saw her?'' Miss cler asked again ''that was what I wanted to find out when dad stopped me''. So you did see a girl but you didn't see what she was doing'' yes mom junior responded.'' was she old or what'' asked Miss clear again '' cler, let the kid eat his food you can ask him when he's done eating'' said Mr.Asare. ''honey I think you should walk junior to school tomorrow'' Miss cler suggested. ''mom I'm not 7 years I walk to school by myself'' junior responded. ''okay then, finish your food said Miss cler. Supper was soon over, junior hurried up to his room.He had sketches of people lying everywhere in his room.He lay on the bed thinking of the girl he saw in the thick tree.He fell asleep as he was thinking about the mysterious girl.That night he slept like never before. As he normally does by being the one to always be the first to wake up was still in bed and it was almost 8 in the morning.'' is something wrong with our child? Mr. Asare asked. '' why asking?'' asked to s cochlear it's almost 8 and he's sleeping''Mr Asare continue he would be here to wake me up''. ''so you've been using our son as your alarm right? asked miss cler who was suddenly seated on the bed with her arms crossed. ''That's bad if you say it that way but he has been waking me up I wonder why he hasn't come here yet'' said Mr.Asare. They shined through the window waking Junior up. e crunched on the bed and yarn.'' oh my God I'm late for school Miss lucy will kill me'' Junior said as he ran to the bathroom. </p>
