Michelle couldn't help but wonder why he said what he said,that was what was in her mind on her way to her class.
She came pretty early and not many people were already in school.
Before she got far she was called back by the principal of the school.
"Michelle,what are the things hearing about you in the school magazine",she said coldly.
"I have no idea about it Sir",he looked at her from head to toe then said,"Better clear the air about it in the next two days else your parents might get wind of this"
He completed his statement and left her flabbergasted,she was on the verge of crying.
She silently went into her class to break into uncontrollable tears,she cried to the extent that she didn't know when Jake entered into the classroom.
"Michelle!! What is the matter,who did something to you?....Talk to me ",he said gently Patting her back.
He got no reply except that her wailing increased, "Is it because of the magazine...love please talk to me"
She suddenly hugged him tight and said in the midst if tears,"I don't wanna leave anymore...let me go and die"
Jake patted her back gently saying, "No,no,no,don't say that love...please live...live for me and all of us that care for you".
He tried comforting her but she in still continued shouting the same thing over and over again claiming that she wants to die.
Suddenly she stopped shouting and demanded to be set free from his grip,when he finally let go of her she ran up the stairs and started climbing the pavement.
Jake was running after her begging her to stop her madness,by that time everyone had gathered around to watch the scene.
He finally met her when she was find it difficult to climb the pavement but before he could react it was already to late.
She jumped down saying,"I wanna go meet my mum."
