Strange Man
Few weeks After...
I walk in the school gate as everyone stare at me and murmur. I guess the news about my mom's departure passed round the school.
"Hi Savannah" Wendy placed her butt on my desk as usual
"Not today guys" I packed up my stuff
"I guess our Savannah is passing through a lot" Evan said and let out a soft sigh before bursting into an unserious laughter
"It my mom's death guys, have some sympathy"
"That's none of our business....Just take your fuckin body outta this school" She said the most annoying part
"Are you kidding me? It my final year"
"Who cares " Willa roll her eyes
"Let wait and watch" Wendy said getting her butt from my desk
"She has no choice anyway. I heard no one wants her. let see how she gonna pay up her bills " Evan's twin added
I stare as they all giggles and laugh, It seems like a joke to them. They don't Care about me at all. They don't even try to console or feel any kind of sympathy for me My eyes met with Tyler who was with his sly cunny smile as usual. He already done what he wanted anyway
I picked up my bag and stormed out angrily trying to force back my tears
"Hi...." I dumped into Sky
"It actually a week now...Welcome back" He stammer as usual
He isn't like this too, Very Sharp and Bold. What the hell happened to him too?
I burst into tears I have been trying to avoid
"Am sorry I should have come and check on you but I have been very busy"
"My condolence" He added
*****
"Have told you countless times, it not a suicide it a murder" I yelled in tears as they all fixed there gazes on me
"Do you have any prove?
"I....
"Every evidence point out it a suicide and not a murder. Am sorry we have to close the case"The man replied fixing his gaze on mom's file
*******
I drop my bag and change to my costume
"You should do that fast Savannah! A short woman around 40 years of age yelled angrily
That's my new boss. She is too sassy mean but that's isn't new...am use to everything already
"Am sorry "
"I don't care" She replied rudely
"Serve table 14" She placed the tray aggressively on my hands
"Hi pretty" The man who seems a bit stylish among them fixed his gaze on my body
Well I don't blame him the dress is too tight but I gat no choice...that's the boss order
"How much for night?"
"Am sorry...am not into that" I explain
"She is in" My boss chirps in bringing out chilled alcohol
"What?
"You need money don't you ? She said quite loud
she should atleast bring down her voice
"What's about 50 dollars? She turned to the man
I stay glue at the same spot starring at how she blabber
"That's too much" The other man chirps in
"I know..... She said and scratch her head
"I thought she will make alot of money....She is just too unfortunate and full of badluck" She whisper quite loud. Everyone fixed their gaze on me and whisper
"Let just do it Twenty five dollars " She added
I drag my glue feet to the changing room to pick up my bag
"You don't need to cry Savannah....You are now a big girl.....An adult" I console myself
I walked down the road like a living dead
"You really need to go to your father... I can't stand watching you like this" I heard a familiar voice from behind
I turn to look and seriously it really her
"Have you been following me around Old woman"
"You witch! Call me grandmother" she yelled quite angry
"I wonder if all grandmothers call her grandchildren a witch" I scoff
"I really.... She stammer then stop
"Just use this to take care of yourself" She throw me a bunch of money
"Let go " She turn to a young man behind her
I think that her secretary
"Just remember I have always love you regardless of what your mother did" She added before entering her car
I sigh and stare at the bunch of money
"Should I just throw it away" I walk toward the deep ocean
"I really need money" I cried out
"She is your grandmother anyway" One mind whisper
"She is not! She abandon you, remember? Another one added
"Whatever! I said and dumped the money inside my bag
"I win! The first one dance around
"No touching the money" I said as the second one burst into laughter
******
I stare at the Chart trying to make a conclusion but it doesn't seems to work out.I really need to find out about the so called suicide
I stare at the portrait of the strange man in the Black hoodie.....He seems quite suspicious. I let out a sigh and drop the Marker pen.
I should have left earlier just like she suggested. Had it been I came home before 7pm just like she suggested she might have escaped the death.I killed her.....I burst into tears
I stare at at ruin house with no maintenance, it look really rough and Unkept. I walk in the kitchen which look empty, I guess I run out of foodstuff too
I really need a lot of money....And going to my so called dad can't help the matter
You shouldn't have left me like this mom...
"But I promise I won't Rely on anyone. I will learn to stand on my own" I mutter in tears
"And I promise no moving....
But wait what about Scarlett.....The closed room?
I hurried down to the closed room. I put in the pass code and unactivated the face ID....I learnt that from a friend though
I peeped in as bad odour rushed into my nose. It smell really rotten and bad. I guess it hasn't been under care since mom died, She should at least try to clean up the damn rotten room. Is she that lazy... could she be paralyzed or what?
Hope she won't have died of hunger. I hurried in the room but to my biggest surprise the room is empty. Laying carelessly on the floor are the rotten foods and empty flask
I scoff and burst into laughter....is mom kidding me?
I left the door open and walk angrily to my room. I dumped myself on my bed and close my eyes deeply. I really need to forget some stuff
"Goodnight"
