I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door, I don't even remember how l passed out, I got out of the blankets as I unlocked the door. Ma stood their looking me straight in the eyes, does this woman have any shame I know it wasn't a dream and l need some explanation.
"dinner is served" she said walking away
I nodded as l followed her downstairs, lily wasn't home yet so it was just the two of us drowning in the awkwardness and silence. She placed the two plates on the table as she sat down, I stood up as I took some juice from the frige then l returned to my chair.
"Lily is sleeping at a friend's house tonight"
I nodded as l continued to eat my food
"rose"
I looked up sucking the spaghetti that was on my fork
"Ma" I said finishing of my act with a sip of juice
"about what you saw in the afternoon….."
"you don't have to feel sorry ma I was just at the right place at the wrong time" I said cutting her off as l focused on my food
"no sweetheart lm sorry …. I don't know what got over me"
"its okay ma now please eat your food is getting cold"
"please don't tell anyone including Sarah this would break her marriage"
"so you were aware it would break her marriage how am l even going to face aunt and uncle… how long has this being going on"this time my whole focus was on the woman seated in front of me
" thre…..three m….months"
"what m..o..m"
"lm sorry"
"l have school tomorrow goodnight"
I walked out of their furious like this guy was younger than my mother by about 10 years and his married for crying out loud. I locked myself in my room at some point l didn't understand why I was angry.
I woke the next morning feeling worse than even. Not even a single muscle in me wanted to go to school like how am supposed to learn. I forced myself up bathed and wore my uniform, I didn't even bother eating breakfast you know l was trying to show someone that l was mad at her. As walked to school a black car stopped besides me but you know how l reacted picked up my pace , tried crossing the road , running but eventually l got tired.
Rome
I didn't bother increasing the speed since I knew she would get tired anyway, but her skills impress me she ran half way to school without stopping. By the time she was about to give up I ordered my driver to speed up a bit and catch up with her. I lowered my win,dow trying to put up my sexiest look but who was l kidding I received the most painful and hardest slap of my life. I couldn't find myself angry l had partly caused this myself I opened the door and she entered.
"what is your problem you scared me"
She was really trying to get her breath and sensing from her vibe she was already angry before l had met her. Well if you wondering how l knew , my mom taught me how to read and learn people through emotions, body language and way of communication.
"l think you should say sorry"
"why you made me run the whole way to school"
"half way to school"I replied with a smirk
"wow you are such a genius"she said facing the other side
I moved closer to her holding her waist "you know you slapped me" she moved back facing my direction she was about to slap me, l took hold of her hand before she could do anything I let go of it leaving her star struck
"l wouldn't try that if l were you l can be your nightmare"l said in the most polite way l could put it but that didn't help.
"lm sorry"she said sniffing
"hmm its okay l understand maybe that's how you play with your brother" I said looking at her but she still tried by all means to look me in the eye.
"l… don't um have a brother"
From what l could see all her confidence was gone and checkmate soon l will get all the information l need, I smiled as l looked away thinking of my next plan.
As soon as we got in the campus she went her own way without saying thanks or anything. I walked to class with Jeremy as we were engrossed in our chat a girl came towards us.
"hie um lm in your class and l was asigned to show you around the campus" she said
I looked at Alex with confused eyes lm sure rose was not this girlish and her voice wasn't this sweet.I clapped my hands as I chuckled lm impressed she's such a good actor indeed. The girl in front of me didn't even move but seemed confused.
"um do l look funny?" she asked looking down and checking her body
"is that why your satchel seems full every time"Jeremy said turning to look at me
…..
"um if you still want the tour feel free to follow me if not have a good day fyi l have an identical twin"
Same attitude with her sister interesting , from my survey one is girlish and the other one is just argh. I signaled Jeremy to follow me as I increased my pace to reach the girl who was already far down the corridor.
"thanks for the trip" we said as we walked back to the reception.
"if lm not wrong that's the principle's car lets go" I said walking a bit faster
"hmm we don't know how long his going take"
"l don't give a f*ck we cant go back empty handed today , l really hate it here so"
We arrived the office taking out the key l had, l slowly opened it as we entered in locking ourselves in. Jeremy went straight to the computer as he typed endlessly. On the shelves there was really nothing to find except year books and register.
"come take a look at this"
Walking over to the desk a file was opened with the name Ryan Sammuels on it
"whose that"I asked in a hush tone
"drew" as he zoomed in the picture of the guy on the picture
"he…." the door knob turned as the door opened with two people walking in as they talked
"what a nice office you have sir"
"thank you maam please take a sit"
"no thanks um please l need a favour"
"sure what is wrong"
With were we where we could only hear the people talk but not see their faces . after the lady asked for the favour which we couldn't hear because of the whispering the door opened and it closed again. L crawled out of the table first as Jeremy followed behind me.
Rose
This idiots if l hadn't moved into my hiding spot they would have caught me in the office because of them I couldn't get the information I wanted. When they left l crawled out of the shelf picked up the flash that was on the ground then left pretending like nothing had happened.
The whole brother story was actually stressing me out for all l care, my mother had two daughters only but l couldn't trust that woman l call mother anyways. The trauma from five years back still chased me and the last thing l wanted was finding out some new shit about my life.
When l was five l got an operation for a rare disease that l didn't know existed. L was taken overboard for a vacation just after my operation. Well that's what l thought upon my arrival in Russia l was handed over to a cartel group that operated me again in the name of taking out some substances that were in my stomach probably cristals. Well it all went well until after the operation l began having seziures like a normal thing .
L don't remember much after that all the visions are blurry.
"l cant believe Rome actually saw me as you" Lilly said bumping into me
"Lilly please leave me alone"
"what's that in your hand" she says reaching for my hand as l put it behind my back. Lilly jumps around trying to get it from my hand , l accidentally slip and the flash falls on the ground. L look at the flash then at Lilly who also did the same as l stand up to pick it up Lilly tackles me and l fall back down.
"no usb flashes allowed in the school" the ict teacher picks it up and walks away
"maam ..... wait l can"
"no explanations Rose …..and detention Friday afternoon"
" Lilly what the f …. Arghh you are so annoying just f*cken leave me alone"
"WHAT YOU COULD HAVE JUST SHOWN ME THE FLASH ITS NOT MY FAULT WEIRDO" she says raising her voice
"WHAT FLASH !" Rome and his so called cousin yelled from behind us
"non of ur business" l say in annoyance
"it's a purple one with a blue tag written Drew on top" Lilly says
Rome pulls me down the hall way in an aggressive way , he looks pissed but l don't get why
"where's the flash?"
" l don't know"
"come on Rose just speak who has it"
"l said l don't know"
"F*CKEN ROSE WHY DO HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT F*CKEN TELL ME WHERE THE FLASH IS BEFORE L END YOUR LIFE DON'T PLAY WITH ME B*TCH IF YOU WANT ATTENTION GO GET FROM THE CYCATRIC CAUSE THAT'S WERE YOU BELONG" he says hitting the wall with his fist
ROME
L regret being a little harsh on her , she kneels to her feet and places her head in between her feet. After a few minutes l could hear her sobs , they were faint but they carried a lot of emotions. L stood there unable to move her cries broke my heart. This was a new feeling it felt as if someone was trying to reap my chest wide open.
Lilly comes to where we were along with Alex. Lilly chuckles and walks towards the girl who was stuck by the wall acting like it was the only protection she had in the whole world.
"you are not strong after all , look at you, you are nothing but a pathetic h….."
Before she could finish her sentence Alex drags to the other classrooms and locks her in there. No one will live to see the sunlight if they even try harming her , lm the only one
