When she arrived at School that day, she felt a strange weakness all over her body, and she had very severe headache. Throughout her stay in class, she couldn't talk or play with her classmates, she was always the quiet one and so lonely and this is one part of her life that she hates so much.
Kpeju, a sixteen years old girl was in the final class in Queens Secondary School in Lagos, her father Dr. Wilfred is a Medical Doctor and the owner of Orbitz Clinic, one of the best Clinics in Lagos State. He always ensured that everything was available fkr his daughter, he made sure that she never lacked and her needs were granted on time but one thing was lacking, Dr. Wilfred rarely spent time with his daughter, he was so busy with work, that he hardly had time to talk to his little girl let alone knowing what her major problems were which could not be solved with money, this made kpeju so quiet and lonely and she never had any friend to talk to. Dr. Wilfred never wants anything to come between him and his daughter, considering the fact that he adopted her.
On the other hand, Kpeju is brilliant and a good daughter to her father, hut her only problem is lack of courage to talk to her father or any one about her problems and nightmares.
Still in Class, and feeling more weaker, Kpeju stood up from her desk and immediately walked out of the class to the School Garden, she was just standing there alone and a big python crawled out towards her, she was scared and she screamed and immediately she found out she was on her bed ranting and sweating profusely; "what's wrong with me? She asked herself " Oh it was all a dream?" She said to herself and a voice so gentle answered from the other side of her bed " Kpeju, you are all right, it's just a sign of maturity" the voice said . Kpeju got up and looked around her room but there was nobody with her, she couldn't figure out whose voice it was and it made her more scared.
