. I woke up the next morning from another nightmare. This time I was laying on the bed and then a wolf like creature was starting directly at my face, I immediately woke up.
I got up from bed went over to pick my phone that was on my reading table charging, I was stunned to see over a thirty missed calls from an unknown number. "who could this be?" I thought to myself. I called the number a few before the person finally answer.
"why were you not picking my calls since last night" the person said over the phone.
"who are you and how did you get my number?" I asked.
"eww, so you left your shabby house at heaven city to a more shabby and old house, I pray it doesn't fall over your head one day" the person on the other end said while smiling sheepishly..
That laughter? I kinda remember it now it belongs to Emily how the hell did she get my number.
"Emily, who gave my number to you? I asked.
" it doesn't matter Irena but i just want to inform you that I would always be better than you in everything and I'm also going to take everything from you, you poor little thing" she replied still laughing.
"well, have fun doing that" I replied and ended the call. I could feel her disappoint from miles away.
I went into my closet and picked an outfit to wear for my morning jog, I went over to dad's room to inform him that I was going for my morning routine with he agreed to and so I left house.
While I was joging, like the day before the people were still staring at me weirdly and also I felt like some was walking besides me but when I turn I couldn't find anyone.
After joging for a while I headed back home and went upstairs to my room to shower before having breakfast. I took my phone and noticed missed calls from Anita and also from Emily. I checked wechat to see if Anita had sent any message to me but all I saw were countless text from Emily asked why I hanged up on he and texts of how she was better than me. "this leg would never end" I hissed and immediately called her. I went over to the kitchen to make cereals and then gave Anita a call. She was very sad "bestie, you don't want to pick my calls or have you forgotten me just few days after leaving town?" she asked.
"my love, I would never forget you, you will always be my best friend" I assured her.
"I have some gossips for you" I told her. "slip me it babe" she said anxiously. I could sense the excitement in her voice, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Emily called me today, you know her usual rant" I told her everything that transpired.
"that girl she would never learn, I hoped you were able to reply her?" Anita asked.
"trust me bestie, I gave it to her" I said and we both burst out laughing.
We were still on the phone laughing and chatting for about an hour before I finally ended the call. I went to check my tittok and realised that I have gotten two thousand new followers on my page and over three thousand comments on the post I made about my grandparents house. Everyone wanted more videos and also a video of the town so I quickly went live and assured everyone that I was going to make more videos but I need to settle down first and with that I ended the live.
Dad called to come downstairs, mum was calling on video call from the hospital. I quickly ran down stairs, I was so happy to see mum, I asked about her health and she replied that she was getting better which made me relieved.
"my child, your Dad told me what happened with you and Calvin" mum said slowly. I looked at dad and laughed, he went gossiping me to mum.
"mum it's nothing, it was all for the best" I replied mum.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't by you for your first breakup,i want to be there with you but in happiness and sorrow" mum spoke sadly .
I laughed "mum, all you need to do now is to focus on recovering, when you get better we will do a lots and besides dad it alway here to lead me on the right path"
Dad assured mom that he was going to take good care of me. We continued talking for a while before dad finally ended the call.
I was about going back to my room Dad called me back. "Irena , I would be going for a walk and maybe check out some school in town and we can both choose the one best for you" he said.
I never really crossed my mind that I was going to be attending school here, I thought dad was only focusing on how to pay mom hospital bills.
Dad assured me that no matter how everything had gone bad, he was still going to send me to school to get a good education and make him proud as a parent and also secure a job to take care of both him and mum in their old age.
Dad eventually set off for his walk and told me to stay safe when I hear a knock on the the door I should first of all peep through the hole on the door. I nodded my head and hug him goodbye.
Since I was alone at home an bored, I decided to prepare lunch before dad gets back, I got busy in the kitchen preparing lots of meals and even made brownies. After about three hours I heard a knock on the door , I peeped through the door and it was dad, I quickly opened the door for him to come in.
Dad was surprised to see the meals I prepared "you really did not have to"
"dad you always take good care of me and mum so I decide to take good care of you today" I answered.
When we sat down to eat the meals I prepared, I gently asked dad how he's walk went."dad how did your day go" I asked.
"well, it went well but the people were exactly how you described." he answered.
"they were all looking at me strangely like I had something on my face" he continued.
"I told you but you wouldn't believe me, they all act strangely and weirdly" I added
"I even tried to start a conversation with one of them but shoved me off, the kids playing on the street ran away when I waved at them" dad continued.
"Wow! That's strange what could have been the problem" I asked. Or were we not welcomed? but grandparents have lived here when they were younger and had only left after giving birth to my dad.
"they might adjust over time, don't get too worked up" Dad assured me.
"so Dad how about the school" I asked?
"yes dear, there's only one high school in the whole town, I think every kid here attends there"
"it is a very big school, I enter the school to get more relevant information but even the principal seemed in different " Dad continued. "I did everything that was supposed to be done and you would be starting school from next week" he said happily.
I was so over joyed, I couldn't believe I was going back to school, I hugged and promised to do my best and make him proud.
"but there's a little issue dear" Dad spoke "you would be going to school on uniform"
"what" I couldn't believe what I just heard "uniforms?". When I was at my old school at heaven city, we never big on uniforms, why will I be wearing them now?
"Dad is it a must I wear one" I asked "yes dear its rule that must be adher to" he answered.
I was skeptical about the whole uniform thing, I was always wearing baggy jeans and large shirt and a cap to cover, people always mock me for dressing like a guy but I always feel more comfortable wearing them.
Dad told me I was going to school to go to the school all by myself to pick my uniform the next day.
