My first official function as a prefect 3
466 Words
I still stood on my decision. I'm still attending the event, come rain, come sunshine. I was in tears as I stood thinking of the next move. With the look on my mum's face when she called me, I could tell what both parents will be saying about me. But the fact remains that I don't care about what anybody says because I so believe that I am right and was denied my right of association. Someone will say I'm a practical child. Yes. I started putting law into practice as long as I can remember. I just hate it when I'm being cheated. In this case, I felt my parents are cheating me. All I wanted was to have a successful representation at the event. Was that too much to ask?
Standing out there, crying was not the way out of the situation. The day was becoming sunny. Few minutes later, this man I had not seen before came to where I stood. He wanted to know why I was crying. He wanted to know what the problem was. At first I took a good long look at him and then I decided to tell him when I was sure I had not seen him before. After telling him the problem, he insisted on following me to my house to talk to my parents. I accepted immediately. It was a no brainier. At some point, I felt that bringing someone to speak to them will make things worse especially when this person is a stranger. But I didn't wait to think of the consequences, I just took him straight to my house.
I took him to my parents and he greeted them. He told them about how he saw me outside crying and asked me what the problem was to why he insisted on coming to see them. They told him that he had said the truth and they couldn't even give a good reason for prevention from attending this event. So sad. I just left when I got tired of hearing the same story over and over.
I was now at the gate waiting for this man. I don't think he told me his name or maybe he did. I've forgotten. A few minutes later, he met me at the gate and told me that I need to abort my plans of going for the event and stay at home. I was so surprised how they were able to influence this stranger but then my mind was already made up and anything anyone is saying is nonsense if contrary. I just thanked him and left for school because o felt I had lost so much time. I was still hoping they had not left before me. Off I went. Yesss for school I left.
