The Novel...2

   Cecilia was getting more and more interest in the story that she even forgot to have her dinner.

  " Wow I think this story is going to be a very nice one ..". She said and opened to the next chapter.

         ( After a while walk, she left me unseeing one of her best friends who was more important than me. 

" Hello, Clara...wusp ..long time not seen". She hugged her friend Clara.  Of course, I know her. she was more beautiful than me and of more value than me.  Although I was intelligent she was also one of the most intelligent student in the school.

   "Hi, Clara". I said but I was ignored and this time I wasn't only ignored, I was given a wicked look which only looks can kill I will have been dead by now.

   "And what is this follower doing here with you". She asked Doreen.

  "Ooh her I only wanted to take a walk with her"

"You wanted to take a walk with this thing while am here"

"Ooh, Clara stop it already".  Doreen said and laughed.

"Bella don't mind her okay".  I just watched her and said nothing. Anyway, I got nothing to tell her.

I kept quiet the whole time and follow them like their maid.

   They talk happily and my presence became useless to them.

  any time I try talking I was shut off. But I kept trying until Doreen mind me.

  "See here girl, boys are not used to girls okay... what do they do break our heart and leave us all by ourselves...uh....is that what you mean". She said almost shouting at me and turning her  back on me

  "But if they were of no use to us, then why will God create them for us".  That was what they were talking about. Boys and girls were more important.  I don't even care about what they were saying anyway, I just wanted to feel my mouth if it was still working. For I was always quiet.

While that was none of my business too. I was only trying to get into their conversation to feel my mouth.

    "Hey hey who has called you here..uh ..my friend you better shut up over there".

clara scolded me down, and she shouted at me as if she was ready to consume me.

But that couldn't discourage me, beside I have gotten people I was talking to. Even if they were rude to me is better than staying in one place for the pain to torment me.

  "See those boys out there are not are class okay, we girls are of more value than them so shut up". After she said that I raise my hands to say something but she shut me down. I still insisted on talking but this time Doreen cut me off.

"hey hey you can go, girl, you can go and give yourself to those stupid boys to fool around with you.. now shut up and let us talk". But I was so stubborn to keep quiet I still keep on talking and this time, I wasn't shut down by them, but a voice said from behind.

"Hey, girls it doesn't matter who is more important or more valuable. See God created all of us equal and God knows that we will need each other's help that is why he created man and woman.

But what your friend was saying was true we all need each other it doesn't matter what the person has done or what we are all doing. We sometimes need each other's help.

if your father was to be alone will he have been able to give birth to you? so, you see you see why...we are all helpful to each other. You shouldn't look down on your friend who is a boy just because boys are important or girls are more important than each other. Anyway, I like what's your friend Said."

he spoke on my behalf.

(ooh no he spoke on my behalf... I got to something or else I will be dumped by my friends). I said to myself and gave him a reply, "I was only adding what I know"

"Are you sure? You were only adding what you know or do you truly know what you were talking about"? He said again and I kept quiet. I didn't want to lose my friends so I shut my mouth as they told me earlier.

I cursed myself under my breath, who was I to be perfect than these Dada bees and Queen bees?

"Okay but I still appreciate your point". Ooh God where from this boy, I wish I can tell him to leave this place before he causes chaos for me.

And like I always say if look can kill, I will have been in my grave by now. Wicked looks were flying on me left and right.

  The guy then extended his hands and greeted them and in my turn, I was even afraid to look him in the eyes. It wasn't like I didn't want to greet him but if I do I will lose my friends. I shook my head not ready to greet him.

   "Why is your friend shy,"

he asked Doreen

"Ooh, no she is not like that I don't know why she is behaving like that".  She said while stressing the word behaving as if she doesn't know why I was behaving like that. I looked up at her and position my head back where it was. I was staring at the ground, begging mother earth to open its mouth and swell me in.

   "By the way what is your name".  He talked to me again I didn't look at him nor did I answer him. 

"Well I'm Clara and this is my friend Doreen.  Forget about this thing here". referring to me as a thing.

  Well, I thank my God that I didn't open my mouth, if I have done that they won't be my friend again.

  "Anyway, I'm Kelly ". He greeted them again and left us.

   "That was nice of you Bella ". Doreen said looking in the direction Kelly went.

"Yh you did very well for not responding to any of his questions ". I looked up at them angrily and went away. I heard Doreen calling my name but I didn't mind her. 

What do they take me for, even if anyone will not talk to me doesn't mean am not a human?  I know that one day I will regain back my memories and I will go back to my family and friends. I won't be here for that rat to insult me all the time.

That was the first day I went off them like that. All the time I will just be quiet and watch them but I was fed up with their nonsense.

 ***

After school that day I didn't wait for anyone. For even if I wait for them, no one will talk to me I will just be drowned in the crowd as usual.

I went straight home and threw myself on my bed and cry like a newborn baby. I forget to eat my dinner and even forgot to take off my uniform. For who cares whether I have eaten or not no one cares.

   ***

   "It's fun you know, how a strange like you will surround herself with soo many royalties. Doreen and Clara can never be your friend or are you thinking that their class will rub off you and you will also be royal too... Oo..no..no it will never happen so just forget about it". Pain whispered and laughed.

  Yes, what on earth was I thinking ..uh..did I think I can ever be like them... probably that must be in my dreams, I don't think I can even be their friend...the world is not looking for a girl who has lost her memories like me I guess...I think the world is looking for a whole fun-mind people, not me, and I shouldn't have even counted myself as a human I shouldn't.  I cried all my tears out and sleep alone.

***

The next day in school, I was walking with Doreen who later came to me to seek forgiveness.  Who was I not to forgive her? God forgives all my sins so I can't say I won't forgive her.

    Because I was a good-hearted girl I forgave them.

So after accepting the apologise words from Doreen, both of us went to classroom.

"Today your maths teacher will not come to school,, so I'm using his period for English"" said Mr Eduamah,, our talkative english tutor, infact I was very tired from a long walk from the house to the classroom so I needed a rest,, buh here comes Mr Eduamah from nowhere.

Mr Eduamah always gives us a piece of advice Everytime we meet for studies,, buh this time around what he said was very touching,, he said,,, ""It is said that life is concept that moves forward and never backwards. That's why if you have any purpose to accomplish, then the time is now or else forget it because time and tide

wait for no man". He added again that,, "Life is full of rare opportunities which, if you let go off, hardly will another come your way and this means that the kind of life you live today will determine where and how you'll be tomorrow"

He continued from where we reached the last time he came to our class immediately after giving us his long talk of advice. Mr Eduamah's class is always interesting and funny, so we had a very good studies,, then he gave us an exercise to do,, after that he went out,, spending more than an hour in our class,,

After Mr Eduamah left,, Doreen came to me and asked me why I was against the motion they were discussing the other time,, I gave out a sign of relief then,, I said "dear you won't understand unless you encounter it"

In this life those people who you call them low class people, a day is coming in which you will be bowing before them, also God created lady and guy so as to relate to ourselves. A fellow human can never marry an animal nor befriend an animal,, buh we'll rather marry and befriend ourselves.

Also just look at how you and Clara always treat me,, buh it always sounds cool for me,, because there's an Akan proverbs which says that,,,, ""if they don't know you,, they call you a slave""

So Doreen felt sorry for doing what she did the other day. but for that witch Clara she never felt anything. I don't mind they anyway.
