2 Chapter two : School

“Good morning” the sun greeted as he woke me up

“Hi, sun what a wonder full day to, *awutch* shine”

“Happy Tuesday it's time for school”

“Yes sin I know” *awutch*

I said as my ankle hurt the more I rose it

“How is your leg?”

“Fine thank you”

“Get better soon”

“I will sunny”

(Mom entered the room and saw me talking to my self)

“Hummmm, Christi don't tell me you have gotten mad”

“Ma” I snapped out of my delusions

“Get ready for school”

“Mom, my ankle.....”

“Does it hurt”

“Yes........”

“Stand up let me see”

“Mommyyyyy I don't want to go to school today”

“You have to cos no one will be at home and I can't leave you all alone in this house with the maids”

“Ummmmm, OK ma”

I stood up and quickly got ready for school the house help brought my uniform in for me, and I was lucky that I could tip toe with my injured leg, so I decided not to take the crutches to the school, I don't want to drag more attention to my self.

“Are you okay!” My aunt asked as she banged the door opened.

“” yeah”

“Come....” She held my hands close and walked me out of the room.

Thank God I have a loving and caring sister, she is the best, I know some times she gets on my nerves but hey I love her more than I love my self, no I actually love her half of the way I love my self cosssss like I am my self, so duh.

We both sat down on the dinning table, oh my God I forgot to introduce you to my Nana, she's the best of all house help, her name is Nana Khadija, so I just call her Nana, we all do actually. She served us our breakfast which happens to be beans and potatoes, which I love, I also like bread and butter but yes I am allergic to butter, and so I use chocolate instead in my bread, but sis they are not the same.

“Hear” she interrupted myth with that irritating smell of drugs

“OK” I collected as I drank it without a word

“Good girl” she said and continued eating, as we wear not allowed to break simple rules and regulations and eating etiquette was part of them.

After we ate, she carried my school bag, and we entered the car, mom was already waiting for us, she started driving as we both entered the back seat and fastened up our seat belts, I noticed that mom was not looking happy she was sad which was unusual as she was not ready to talk.

“My head” I screened in pain

“Don't tell me she did not take her drugs” mom asked

“She did ma” free answered

“Then what's wrong, Chris”

“I don't know, mom I am having a slight head ach”

“Sorry she cut the conversion short as she was getting distracted, and she was driving, she was really sad

We reached the school and mom dropped the both of us in front of our senior secondary school, which was separated from the junior secondary and primary schools, we had different uniforms and it was easy to differentiate between each section of the school, our senior school was divided into three the science faculty, art faculty and social science faculty, I was in the science faculty and my elder sister was in the art faculty, the faculties are further divided into three which are our classes, so all the science students stay in the same block but it has two stories, the first story was for the JJC, the first story was for the SS2, and second story was for the SS3, again each class was now further divided into three sub sets SS1A.....SS1I, A_C art students, D_F social and G _I science, this means we have nine SS1 classes, nine SS2 and nine SS3 classes, in total we have twenty-seven senior classes and each faculty has nine classes. I am in SS1G, and that's where all the SS1 magic happens, “not” actually its wear the magic does not happen.

“What's wrong with your leg, Chris” a voice from behind called

Oh, it's my BF I can't add the last F cos I don't know if we will be forever

“Maryam”

She came closer

“Good morning bae”

“Hi, good morning maro”

“Solo, what happened?” She asked as she moves her body to and fro.

“ you won't believe me if I tell you”

“I am listening”

She grabs my hand as we move to our class

“ ummmumh”

I scratched my trouts as I was also allergic to dust and our nanny were sweeping our class, so we had to move back words together.

“So what did happen”

“Just a random fall, from upstairs”

“What?”

“Yeah”

“Did you.... I don't understand”

“Long story”

“Then make it short”

“I was walking no, running down the stairs and skipped a stair which led to me falling down like a bird, I wish you were there you would think I was super man!, the way I flew, wooo, had it been you were there”

“Mitchewww” she hissed as she rolled her eyeball up and down like a disco ball, what was she so angry to see

“Bitches, if you ain't coming in the class you might just get fucked up by the next thing that comes your way” she spoke in an American accent yes, it was Hanna, our classmate who lived in the U.S. for all her life and this is her first year out of the states

“Oh, true” I said as we both entered the class

You know we were not paying attention as the nanny had already left our class

“I don't like her, and the way she forms her English”

“Well you can't tell”

“OK, so let's continue” we slowly sat down on our seat as we were both sit mates

“My mom has not put up a smiley face since then”

“Maybe she is having a meeting”

“Maybe”

Our math teacher came in and started teaching, no one greeted him, and he did not bother to ask for it, but he usually does all day every day

“Solve this”

“OK sir” I replied as the good student that I am

“I will come and cheek round”

“OK”

“Let me see yours Christiana”

“Hear sir”

“Nice work” he shook his head

“Thanks”

“You see, what a good student, she was not hear when I taught you but she got it correctly not lime some of you” he did not point at any one

“Yes sir”

I stood up and hoped to the board

“What happened to your leg?” Must you ask.

“Nothing”

“You mean”

“Just an accident”

I finished and quickly hoped as fast as I could, I was like a rabbit that was sent on a spy mission

“Humm” thank God I excepted

"Yeah yeah, what a pretender, such an ass hole" yeah you should know by now its Hanna speaking.

The day went fast and I wished it did a bit faster, my sister and I were really tired as my mom came to pick us from school

We went home and I still felt the sadness in my moms voice, face and attitude.

We ate and played and my head still hurts and I did not want to add to moms problem as i kept this pain to my self even if I could not understand it

I slept off without looking at any book, I could not move or do anything I was what you called tired but I was working not me thou, my brain still hurt but I just to man hr fall better I did not want to add to moms problem was one of the few things that crossed my mind I did not understand why she was not felling better?.

Good.
