Sandra's point of view
I just finished helping one of the kids... Natalie,to braid her hair.Ever since I braided one of them... Everyone of them started asking me to braid their hairs.
We're currently in my room and the kids wouldn't stop talking.I really love interacting with kids...especially the girls,they really make me happy.
I wish I have a sister I can talk to,tell her my secrets and do many things with,I thought with a smile staring at them.
" Wow big sis...I love it"Natalie said cutely and touched her hair.
"You do?? "I asked with a smile.
"Yes I do,thank you big sis"She said and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
"You're welcome darling"I said.
"My turn....my turn..big sis"Another kid,Sasha said jumping excitedly.
"OK baby sit down"I was about to start braiding her hair when I heard my phone ringing from my back pocket.
I removed it from my pocket to see that it was mom that is calling me.
"Urrm guys... I'll be right back....gotta answer this, it's quite urgent"I said and walked into my bathroom.
"Why is she calling me today??"I muttered with a slight frown.Ever since she left...could you believe that she didn't call me not even for once.
"Hi mom...good evening"I said with a low voice.
"Good evening baby,Sorry I didn't call you all this time, believe me I was really busy"She said making me really annoyed.
"Oh really mom?, You were too busy to hear from your only daughter??,Mom can you even hear yourself?...you didn't call me for close to a week now or Is it more than a week...and all you could say is you were very busy??"I said with an unbelievable laugh.
" Honey,You have to believe me...I was totally busy with something"she said in a pleading voice.
"Busy with what mom?...All you care about is work,work and work...you don't even care about me or little Leo"I said with a scoff.
"No baby, that's not true,I wasn't busy with work,i was really searching for something and I really do care about you and your brothers"She said.
"What mom what were you so busy with that you couldn't call me?? "I asked.
"I'm sorry honey, I can't tell you that...just know that I really care about you guys"She said but I didn't say any other word.
"How have you been??"She asked after some seconds.
" I'm fine mom, How's daddy doing? "I asked and sat down on the toilet seat.
"He's fine baby, he went out to get somethings"She said.
"Oh OK...send my regards to him... If he returns"I said.
"I will.... Urmm Sandra?? "She called
"Yes mom, what's the matter??"I asked.
"I and your daddy are returning to Australia tommorow"She said and I swear I felt a bang inside my head immediately she made that statement.
"Wha....what do you mean by you're returning to Australia tommorow....I thought you said you were going to be gone for a month?"I said with a stutter.
"Yes baby, but something came up so... We're coming back to Australia tomorrow"She said.
"You're what?? "I shrieked amd stood up panickly.
"What's it baby, don't you want me to come back? "She asked obviously surprised at my outburst.
"No,No mom... I'm just a bit surprised"I said and walked over to the front of the mirror.
"OK baby bye.... I'll call you back later"She said and hung up.
"Oh sh*t"I muttered and quickly dialed Alicia's number. It was as if she was waiting for my call because she picked up immediately.
"Hey, baby girl"She said cheerfully.
"Sameone is in a good mood"I teased and she chuckled softly.
"What's up"She said.
"Well... There's a problem Alicia"I said hurriedly.
"What's it Sandra are you in trouble??,Is someone fighting you??,Who is it?, Where are are you right now.... I'll come fight for you"She said hurriedly and it looks as if she stood up from her bed because I heard a shuffling sound.
"No.... it's nothing like that"I said quickly with a chuckle.
"Oh okay that's cool...I thought someone was trying to beat you or something, I would have thought him or her a lesson for messing with you,Well....since you said its nothing like that...then it's fine... What's the matter then?? "She said and I swear I felt like crying immediately,It feels really good to know that someone got my back,I thought and smiled genuinely.
"Thank you Alicia"I muttered teary.
"What's that....please don't tell me that you're about to cry....Is someone making your cry over there?" she asked.
"No... it's just that I'm happy at least you got my back and you care about me,unlike Hope that I thought was my bestfriend"I said with a sniff.
"Oh come on cry baby, Stop crying already okay... I don't know why but I hate the sound of you crying,Now wipe those tears off your face lady "She said sassyly making me to laugh.
"Thank you"I muttered with a smile.
"You're welcome Cry baby"She said.
"Oh please don't start calling me a cry baby"I said with a whine.
"Why not... I've noticed you cry a lot....even the students in your school said you cry a lot"she said with a chuckle.
"That's not true... Well... I called because of something urgent"I said in a serious tone.
"Oh okay what's it??"she asked.
"My parents are coming back to Australia tommorow"I said finally dropping the bombshell.
"Wait what"She yelled.
"Yes Alicia.....My mom just called me right now and told me that they'll both be coming back to Australia"I said.
"But... But you said they won't be back for a month"She said obviously worried.
"I know Ali... I thought so too... I'm sorry it turned out this way"I said and bit my lips.
"So... What are we going to do now?,should I come back to the orphanage??"She asked .
"No, you're going to remain there and continue acting like me"I said.
"Acting like you?, we're talking abut your mom here... Don't you think there's 99 percent that your mom will find out that I'm not her daughter? "Alicia asked perplexed.
"It's my mom and I'm telling you that she's won't find nothing okay?? "I sad assuring.
"Ok dear, I'll try my best"She said with a sigh.
"Please.. just act nice and calm okay??"I said.
"Ok... I've heard you"She said.
"Ok Alicia,I'll call you tomorrow and brief you on somethings about my Mom"I said.
"OK then... Bye"She said and hung up.
Phew... I just pray everything goes smoothly.

Alicia's point of view
I sighed as I ended the call. Why in heaven name is her mom returning tomorrow?,when I was beginning to think that everything is going well.
I don't know why I'm really nervous about meeting Sandra's mom,What kind of a mother won't recognize her daughter if she sees her?, I wonder and sighed deeply.
I was still in my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing again,What does she want to tell me again I wondered and picked up my phone to see that it was coach Josh that is calling me.
Geez he's going to scold me... I can't believe I didn't call him all this while.
"Hey coach"I said cheerfully, I've really missed him.
"Seriously Alicia, you forgot about me"He said with a whine.
"I'm sorry coach..I didn't forget about you,I was just chocked up with school and trying to adapt as this newy girl"I said with a pout.
"Yeah,You always have an excuse"He said and chuckled,while I burst into laughter.
"So....champ what's up"He said stressing the so.
"I'm cool, How is your family doing??"I asked.
"They're doing just great, Monica was asking about you some day back"He said.
"Awnnnn...Tell her I said Hi"I said with a smile.
"I will..... Urmm champ?"He called.
"Yes coach"I replied ,waiting for him to say what he wants to say.
"There's a big match today.....And it's really good money,I wasn't going to disturb you but Champ I think you need to be there by 8:00 for the match. There's this new girl that has been named unbeatable by the crowd...She say she want you to fight with her,Since you've never been defeated"He said and I scoffed immediately.
"Who's she?"I asked with a smirk.
"Ugh...She's a Russian girl,strong, quite good....I think she's going to be a tough match for you"He said.
"Very well.....tell them I'm in,Just bring my fighting wears to the underground ring...I'll come get dressed there"I said and stood up.
"Ok champ,I trust you okay.....see you by 7:30am"He said and hung up.
Gosh... Finally I get to fight again,I wonder who this lady is... that is playing with fire,I thought and grin widely
But wait, How the hell am I going to leave this house now??, I wondered and clicked my tongue.
I quickly rushed to the closet and got dressed. I took my school bag and walked out of the room..going downstairs.
I got to the living room and unfortunately saw Finn just returning from work,Oh sh*t...what sort of bad luck is this?, I thought and walked closer to him.
"Welcome back big bro"I said with a smile.
"Yeah thanks.... where are you going to?? "He asked staring at me.
"Oh... I'm going to Hope's house....we want to do our assignment together"I lied smoothly with a light smile.
"But it's late already, why didn't you go more earlier,Or why don't she come here? "He asked staring keenly at me.
"Well... She said her mom had taken her to the hospital for check up, So...She's not that strong to come here"I said with a sad face.
"Oh oK.... So... You're going to sleep over??"He asked.
"Nope... I'll be back before 10:00pm"I sad with a light smile.
"Did mom tell you that she'll be back tomorrow??"He asked.
"Yes... She called me.....urmm big Bro I better start going before it gets really late"I said with a smile and walked out of the house.
Phew...that was close,I thought and continued walking.I saw the bodygaurd that Sandra had warned me about standing at the corner of the mansion so... I dodged him and ran to the gate.I don't want anyone to start asking me to take the car.
The gate man saw me and opened the gate for me.
"Finally, I thought and began running to the Bus stop....I hope I get there on time, I thought and got into the bus.

*Underground ring*
I stylishly got to the underground ring and walked to the fighters area,Where they dress.
I made sure that my nose mask was covering my face well enough before walking into the room.
It was quiet and there was less light in the room.
"Champ ... Is that you?? "I finally heard coach Josh said from the front, I walked more deeper into the room.
"Yes,It's me.. Alicia"I said and removed the nose mask from my face.
"Thank god, I was staring to doubt if you'd ever make it"He said and gave me a bag.
"Come on, get changed immediately...we've got a match in the next 20 minutes"he said and walked out of the room.
I quickly got dressed in my fighting wears and told him that I'm through....He helped me wear my fighting gloves and put the mask on my face.
"I know you can do this Alicia,Remember don't let your opponent intimidate you"he said and just at that minute a lady came in and told us that I'm next.
"So... Good luck" he said with a smile.
I walked out of the room going straight to the ring.
Immediately I walked into the Arena the whole crowd started chanting my name. Geez it's been long I've been here and I missed this. I waved at them and walked into the ring.
I met my opponent and She is a very tall skinny girl with tattoos on almost every part of her body,She braided her hair neatly and had so many piercings.she glared at me with a smirk on her face.
I scoffed immediately and positioned myself waiting for the referee to start the match.
Immediately the referee signified the Start of the match...The Russian lady charged towards me with a kick on my stomach.I quickly dodges it and gave her a punch on her face.
She seemed quite surprised with the speed I had use and quickly charged towards me again.
She finally got access to me and gave me a blow on my stomach which made me stagger a bit.
She continued attacking me while I blocked it. The fight had now gotten intense...i made sure not to sustain no bruises on my face to avoid some questions at home.I ran to her and gave her some few punches but she dodged them.
She returned the punch but I blocked them and kicked her on her leg...making her fall hard to the ground.
I Immediately climbed on top of her and started giving her blows on her face..she tried to block them but just couldn't.
She finally pushed me off after some seconds and stood up coming for me again....I made sure she was close enough before doing a back flip giving her a kick on her face which sent her falling hard on the floor.
She managed to still stand up with a stagger,with blood running down her nostril.
I moved back and gave her a flying kick which made her fall down flat.
I was expecting her to stand up and fight but she just lay down on the ground like a dead body. Geez I had thought she was a really strong opponent with the way coach Josh had talked about her on phone.
Immediately she fell on the ground the crowd cheered and gave me a standing ovation chanting my name.
Mask girl !
Mask girl !
Mask girl !
Mask girl !
I smiled and waved at the crowd, leaving the ring... I better hurry back home now,I thought and rushed back into the room...I changed back to the dress I wore here and almost immediately coach Josh came in with smiles on his face.
"That was incredible champ"He said and gave me a fist bump.
"Thanks coach....I really want to hurry back home,you can send the money to me"I said and took my bag running out of the room.
I got out of the underground ring and entered a passage that will lead me to the main road. I was passing through the passage when someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and pushed me to the wall.
"Who do we have here?" the ugly looking guy said and licked his lips and next that followed where chuckles.
I looked around to see that they were five in number.
"What's a fresh meat like you doing here sweetheart"Another said and was about to grab my boobs.
I quickly pushed the one that had pinned me to the wall with all my strength and I noticed they looked surprised.
"Oh... She wants it the hard way"Another said and rushed to me but I dodged and gave him a flying kick which sent him falling on the ground.
On seeing this...the rest of them charged towards me. I began fighting them like a pro,Beating the living daylight out of them.I beat them up remaining just one standing. He grunt and charged towards me..He grabbed my hand but pushed him off and at that process my nose mask came off.
I pushed him off and gave him a kick on his di*k...which sent him kneeling on the floor.
I moved back and gave him a kick on his face which made him fall to his face.
I smirked amd picked up my bag from the floor,I was about to continue walking when I met someone I never expected to see in this place staring at me in shock.
I met Seth standing there in shock staring at me with his mouth wide open.
"What the f**k...Sandra?? "He muttered shockingly with a stagger looking at me and the thugs on the floor in shock.
