1271 Words
"Good morning ma" was all I had to say to wake the almighty lioness in other words my mom, sometimes I only get peace of mind when she is out of the house. "Go and do the dishes, after that sweep and mop the living room, I don't want to see a speck of dust there,when you're done there's an envelope on my side table, I want you to take it to Mrs. Clara,she has been on my neck,when you are back do the laundry my clothes are dirty”
It sounds as though she is just ranting but If she comes back and half of one of those things she mentioned is not perfectly done I am officially doomed.
I watched her as she walked towards the door,I was already doing a freedom dance before she turned. " Don't use any of the cars today”
"But mom..." "Don't mom me, don't use any of them"
First its not as if we can't afford getting a maid,secondly I could go out with one of those cars,give it out and she can still get another one but Mrs. Reena James over here likes flexing her motherly authority.
I was busy with the chores and then the doorbell rang, am not expecting anyone this morning and my mom didn't tell me anyone was going to drop by, I opened the door and behold ladies and gentlemen the witch is here, Mrs.Keena James my mothers immediate sister, all this while I've known her she has made my life a living hell.I stood at the door without moving an inch because I was shocked,when I got my senses back instantly "Good morning ma" came out from my mouth and I almost chocked on the ma, I gave her a warm smile even though deep down I just want to send her away.
"Morning" she said with a straight face, well I don't care what face she gives me. "I wasn't expecting you, my mom didn't tell me you'll be coming, its not as if I am not happy that you came" s**t am more than frustrated "its just that you surprised....”
" how will you expect me, when all you are good at doing are terrible things"
I wasn't surprised at her reply, she is used to tagging me as a bad girl simply because I don't share stuff's that has to do with NY personal life with her. And its not as if I haven't tried it before but she uses whatever I tell her against me in front of my mom.
When I was done with the chores I had to do, I took the keys from my moms drawer and went downstairs. "Aunt there's breakfast in the kitchen, maybe you'll want to eat later"
" I don't eat poison "
What is wrong with this woman, she's seriously getting on my nerves. I just nodded and went out of the house because the air in there us choking me already.
Today won't be a good day for me, "what is wrong with you, can't you watch where you are going?” I was on the floor in the hall way because a clumsy person just bumped into me, " my assignments are ruined because the person spilled coffee all over my assignment, the papers were scattered on the floor and the coffee managed to reach each and everyone of it. "You ruined my assignment you clumsy being" I was about to cry, meanwhile I was gathering my papers, I didn't even look up to who bumped into me.
"Am sorry I didn't mean to bump into you, I was eerrm kinda looking elsem..." " how would you know where you are going when clumsiness has taken all the space in your head"
"Excuse me , it was an unintentional act and I just apologized, you don't have to be rude, am sorry"
"Mrs. B is definitely going to kill me, today is the deadline for the assignment, how am I supposed to get all this done in an hour, I can't even miss my class without one of those nosy teachers calling my mom, arrggggghhh" when I was done packing the papers I got up from the floor and no one was there, the person who bumped into me isn't here, how could he do that, I am so going to deal with him when next I see him, but how am I suppose to do that when I don't even know his name, I don't even know what his face looks like.
I was done with two of my classes, its break time and my next class is with Mrs.B. I was heading straight to the library, I found an unoccupied table and I sat down quietly and started recopying the assignment, I have to finish this before break ends or am done for. I felt the presence of someone on the chair beside mine but I didn't look at person because I was bent on finishing this assignment.
"Hi" the person sitting beside me whispered. I didn't talk back because I wanted to finish this assignment without been sent out of the library for noise making.
"Are you this rude all the time or your day isn't treating you right?”
" how is that any of your business" I bluntly said, the voice was familiar but I don't care because I don't even have friends in the school. I went back to writing when the same person sitting beside me drooped a stack of paper on my desk.
Annoyed at what he just did I turned with a frown plastered on my face " what is your problem..." He was gone,he wasn't on the sit anymore, I turned back to look at what those papers were for, and I almost shouted, it was Mrs. B's assignment, he even printed it, a note was on the assignment and it says "sorry, I ruined your first assignment, please submit this so you don't get into trouble. The bell indicating break time was over just rang and I was glad, I wasn't scared anymore, I used every form of confidence I had and walked straight into Mrs.B's class, when I sat on my sit, common sense came back to my head, I didn't go through the assignment, what if its wrong?, what if its messed up?. I was still confused when I heard Mrs. B's voice " miss James, can I have your assignment" I gave it her with tears in my eyes .
When she was done going through all the assignments, she stood up cleared her throat and began "I promised to give the person with the best assignment an automatic A in economics right?”
The entire class affirmed some with yes, some just nodded.
" the person with the best assignment is Miss. Stacy James, congratulations, she did everything in a way even I wouldn't do"
"Thank you so much ma" I said with an ear to ear smile.
Am through with all my classes and I was on my way home still sad about not been able to meet with the person who helped me.
I flopped on my bed and laid face flat, tired and stressed out, s**t I forgot to drop the envelope at Mrs.Clara, I forgot to the laundry and I went out with my car which my mom said I shouldn't. I am so dead tomorrow morning, and aunt Keena will only convince my mom to deal with me very well rather than begging her to stop. What did I get myself into for Gods sake.
