Class ended, and I was ready for tomorrow to hear from Ma'am Fellin about my new punishment.
I went home and found Jeya standing by the door with a large suitcase.
"Girl? What's going on? Are you going abroad? Why do you have a suitcase?" I asked her, laughing.
"Girl, I'm leaving. I'm going back to our province," she replied, looking sad.
"What? Wait, girl, this seems so sudden. I didn't know you were leaving. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, one question after another.
"I'm sorry, girl. It was unexpected. My grandmother is sick, and they need me there," she said.
"But—" I couldn't finish what I wanted to say.
"I'm really sorry, girl. You know I'm just renting this house too. I'm really sorry, but you can't stay here. I think you need to go back to your aunt's place," she said.
