"Now for your assignment, I would like you to solve the questions on page 33" Mrs Solomon said and dismissed us for the day. I left the class with Bella and Christy and we went straight to the lobby. I noticed that Bella and Christy were not in a hurry to go home so I asked them "What's up girls, are you not going now?"
They looked at me and Christy replied me giggling "After school everyday, we stay back for an hour to watch basketball practice". I laughed and told them that I'll pass for today. They looked sad so I promised I would go with them tomorrow. We smiled at each other and I was about to bade them goodbye when I bumped into someone and my books scattered all over the place.
I looked up and saw a cute boy that was in class earlier. He looked apologetic and bent down to pick my books. "Sorry, I didn't see you there" he said quietly. I just nodded and left without waiting for what he might say next. I ran outside, boarded a cab and went home.

I watched her leave the class with her friends and was about to go after them to execute my plans when that shameless Morgan walked in and came to hug me. I pushed her away slowly and said coldly "I thought I told you not to act this way towards me in public ". You might be wondering what relationship I have with her.
Her Mum and mine were very tight friends, got married to wealthy men and gave birth to us. My Mum loved Morgan and because of that she betrothed her to me on my 15th birthday. I liked Morgan but only as a friend but she sees it from a different angle. When Mum became sick with cancer, I cried a lot, stopped talking to people and was always with Mum.
PS: Dad was always very busy, so I never really got to spend time with him.
One night, I was helping Mum get ready for bed when she asked me "Do you love Morgan?" I sighed, looked at her and answered "I don't, I just see her as a friend Mum". Then my mother hugged me and said I should follow my heart in everything I do. That was the last day I spoke to Mum, she died the next morning and my heart died along with her.
I promised not to love another woman except from her even my future wife that was why I never broke the engagement between I and Morgan but I gave her some rules she should abide by if she wants to still remain with me and one of them was avoiding me in public places.
She looked at me and said sarcastically "I don't understand you babe, I can't be with you in public places, I can't kiss you and now I can't hug you. What's wrong with you?" I stared at her with cold eyes and flared up, grabbing her by the throat I said to her "Don't you ever call me that again". I released her and left her crying in the class.
I called my driver to pick me up and I went home. I went straight to Mum's room and slept off. This room is the only place I have my peace of mind.
*************
I got home safely, paid the cab man and went inside. I greeted Mum and she asked me how my first day went and I replied her dryly "It went well". I went upstairs to my room before she bombards me with more questions. I laid on my bed so tired and before I knew it I slept off. I was asleep until Mum called me for Dinner, I stood up, stretched and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
I came out of my room in a few minutes wearing my pyjamas. I sat at the table and ate quietly that Dad was forced to ask "Are you okay baby girl? This is unlike you ". I answered him primly "I'm okay Dad and school is fine as well, I made new friends". "Did anyone bully you?" Dad asked suspiciously. I answered after a short while "No Dad, No bullies. I can take care of myself ". We just focused on our food and continued eating. After that, I helped Mum clean up the kitchen and went back to my room to do my assignment. After that I arranged what I would wear tomorrow. Before going to sleep, I said to myself "Oh just wait for me tomorrow, I'm ready for y'all.
