Mara
I woke up immediately the sun shone into my room .
Argh I groaned as I felt a loud bang on my head, last night was really scary can't believe I tried to kill myself that was so foolish of me, what was I even thinking.
I ran back home immidiately the guy left to pick the call .
I signed as my stomach grumble loudly that was when I remembered that there is no food in this house.
I stood up and picked my cloth I call bed and kept it then went to brush my teeth.
I packed my hair in a pony tail, I really needed the job badly
***
I picked up my bicycle and whistle to myself as I rode out.
I packed behind a restaurant and entered.
What are you doing here a voice asked and I stopped.
Ma I really wanna apply for a job I said.
Did I tell you I needed badluck here, how dare you show your disgusting face here she said angrily while everyone looked at me in a irritative manner.
Am sorry ma I would leave now I said as tears flowed down my eyes.
You leave and don't ever show your face here again she said .
I felt so bittered as I roll my bicycle .
I smiled as I watched my age mate laugh at me, why won't they laugh they where going to school and am not.
Won't you go to school a girl among them said teasing me and I smiled, there's no need of crying .
I ignored and rode my bicycle to the beach I would just mind my business since no one notices me here and I do have peace of mind.
I ate the sandwich I bought along the road .
Hours later.
I looked at everyone as they left the beach, well am gonna stay here till the water take me away.
I felt relived in his arms maybe it was because no one had ever done this to me before.
You see I could help you gain admission in glamous high school he said.
What I asked surprised that school is meant for only the rich they are gonna bully me there I said scared.
Oh you don't have to worry about that, I school there and don't worry I would protect you .
Thank you so much I said happily, I would be in my way now I said and tried standing up.
You don't have to go mara you can spend the night in my place since I live alone I won't touch you I promise.
Pinky promise I asked.
Yeah he said and nodded .
Ok let's go I said as he led me towards his car while he brought my bicycle along.
