It's been almost six months now, and I have not seen or heard of my uncle. It was as if he disappeared. No calls, no massage. I tried to reach him but to no avail. I don't have my aunt's number, I could have called her. Maybe, what my stepmom said is all true. He is gone for good to save his precious life. But sometimes, I think that I'm wrong, what if something happened to him? He's he okay? uncle Jude that I know of will never leave me alone. How can I get to him? I don't know any of his friends. I believe that one day, I will get to see him and hear his story. Macy my friend
migrate to Britain with her family for some reason. I have no friends to talk to. Of the few casual friends that I have, my stepmom has corrupted their minds against me. They are now my bullies in school. I look so miserable. My life is like a living hell. No peace at home, no peace in school. My body is full of injuries. Before the old one will heal, I will get another one.
"Christabel!!!"
"Yes ma'am" I run to my stepmom as if I'm being chased by a ghost.
"Why haven't you dusted the parlor cushion?"
"I'm preparing breakfast ma'am"
"How many hours will it take you to prepare breakfast?"
"Two hours ma'am"
"you have the guts to tell me two hours? tell me, are you cooking for hundred people or only my food?"
"your food ma'am but the food is done it is just for me to serve you the food"
"then what are you still waiting for? be fast about it. I have a meeting with the board of directors."
"ok ma'am" I ran back to the kitchen to serve the food that ten years old girl prepared. I pray for her to like the food because if the food thirst awful, it will end up in my body. No matter how hot it is and I will end up with burns. I have a few of them on my chest. " The food is served ma'am" My heart was beating when sits down.
"what is this?"
"the fried rice you requested"
"I never request for something that looks like this"
"but it is testy, try it ma'am" Before I could say anything the whole plate of hot rice ended up in my body."
" did you prepare this poison for me to eat?"
"no ma'am but I tried my best"
"you tried your best to make this food poison?"
"I'm sorry"
"sorry for yourself". She pushed me aside and furiously leave to God knows where. Junior nanny walked up to me with a pitiful expression.
"Are you okay?"
"yes, I'm fine Auntie"
"let me see if there is any burn" She checked the area the food was poured on my body. " there is a little burn. don't worry, I will send you some ointment that you will apply to it, it will clear it immediately."
"thank you, Auntie"
"Don't worry, leave those things there, I will clean them just go and prepare for school."
"you don't have to worry about me, Auntie, please don't put yourself in trouble because of me. You know how my stepmom can be, I will be fine."
"Just go. I will clean it. She won't know unless you tell her."
"thank you, Auntie. then, let me go and prepare for school."
"I will bring the ointment to you."
"Okay". I leave the dining to my room to prepare for school. I don't know what will be waiting for me in school. I have made up my mind that I will not let them bully me in school again. I will not be scared of my classmates again. They are my age group so why would I fear them? If I can't fight them, I will set a trap for them. that will end their education. Bullies deserve to be punished for their crimes. Some students lost their lives because of bullies. For some of the victims, their self-esteem is killed. They hide not being noticed by people because of the fear created in them that they are not perfect or they are not good, That nobody will want them because of who they are. I won't let them subdue me to that. I have suffered enough from my stepmom. I don't need another fear from people who can not even feed themselves. I'm going to treat their fuck up today.
