The next day, my dad traveled early in the morning so there is no one to force me to school. I hop on my bed happily. I covered myself with my blanket to continue my precious sleep but nature had not unfolded itself fully. It is written that I will go to school that day and also take part in the school quiz that I'm running away from. Uncle Jude came into my room with a maid.
"Why is she still sleeping?"
"she refused to wake up Sir"
"you could have dragged her up from the bed"
:Please pardon me, Sir" she said bowing
"That's ok"
I heard everything they were saying, but I pretend that I'm still sleeping until he walked up to my bed and tapped me. I opened my eyes
"sleepy, sleepy," he said smiling
"Uncle Jude?"
"Good Morning Princess"
"you come so early. don't tell me that you did not sleep at your house"
"I did Princess so get up and prepare for school"
"No Uncle Jude, I don't want to go. I'm not that okay"
"don't be a lazy Princess be like your Mom who was always fervent in all things. She's always ready. She never felt reluctant."
"Why did she die if she did not feel reluctant?"
"she died for you to be alive "
"Is she Jesus Christ?"
"This is not time for questions and answers ok? Now get up" He dragged me up from the bed
"hush!!! you are hurting me, Uncle Jude"
"oh, I'm sorry Princess " He let go of my hands
"Not only sorry Uncle Jude, but you also have to make it up to me "
"I will make it up to you but unless you go to school"
"yes, I will uncle "
"so what did you want?"
"take me to the zoo, when I return from school"
"ok, my Princess. That's a deal"
"deal"
I went straight to my bathroom to take a shower. After that, I dressed up and went downstairs for breakfast with my uncle after that, my driver drop me off at school. when I arrived at school, the quiz have already started. All eyes were on me when I entered the class.
"Christabel, why did you choose to come late today when you know that we are having a quiz this morning?"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Kathryn. I had a bad night" I told her without looking at her face. I walked straight to my seat.
After the quiz, my best friend came up to me smiling
"Are you ok?" she asked me
"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for asking though"
"Nightmare?"
"sought off"
"We won the quiz again"
"yeah, we always do"
