Chapter one
“I don’t think I can do this am tired of everything “,dera proclaimed,as she sat down in her room thinking.
Being a sixteen year old girl and not having a future ambition for herself is really bothering dera.
“Dear lord,I really don’t know what I want to become and am about to enter college level “,she thought.
While in her room looking at the ceiling quietly because her android phone was switched off , she kept starring just to keep herself busy.She heard the sound the door,she looked at it and it was her friend Stacey. “Hi dera,how are you”?, Dere, took a werid smile and looked away.”what wrong with you, you like as if you lost something,your facial expression is bad and it’s doesn’t suit you at all”. “ it will be good if I lost something I know I will find it soon but been confused is worst my friend, am tired of everything am just praying to God because he is the only one I have am so confused that I don’t know what to do”dera murmured under her breath.
“Come on baby what making you feel this way,talk to me.well I have something to show you;it your crush lil tjay posted a girl that is playing basketball”Stacey said smiling just to put light on her friend face. “ oh wow,but why did he post a girl now,but whatever though”.
Dera and Stacey spent a lot of time talking still still Stacey left.
“Dear, God behold your blessing on me and show me what you want me to do in this world”.she said as she went to bed.
She woke up started to think and was confused because of the dream she had seeing her self playing basketball and being loved by people and was good at it then she remembered the prayer she did before going to bed.so god want me to become a baller.she thought.
Dera came back from school thinking and thinking still she decided to start playing it since that what God showed her.She told her parents at first they were supportive and then later they were like you know “you don’t really have the height”she was kind of worry still she let their word slide.
“Hi,Mickey “.
“Hey,what’s up”, Mickey said happily.
“Oh,Mickey I want to start training for basketball”.dera said excited.
“Ehh……ahhh …ahhh”Mickey laughed wickedly.
“You,what the hell do you even know what to do and you don’t have the height too,and your body structure will be like a man,what even lead you to this”.
“It none of your business,I know is that I want to play that it”.dera said angrily has she walked out of Mickey’s house.
On her way she thought, gosh no one think I can do it all they say is that am not tall enough,but I don’t care I will pursue my dreams.
“Oh no Abel hasn’t messaged me yet?later he will be saying I love you s**t to me,boys”Dera wonder.
Ping! Hey dera
“What;so it now you know me right”
“No, it not like that,I was busy”.
I just felt as if you don’t don’t have time for me anymore”.
“I always do”
Well,Abel I want to become a basketball player,I want to start the training”
Ahhh,what’s up with you,when did u start having it in mind”?
“It none of your business”has she put an angry emoji.
After five minutes of sending the message he didn’t reply,so she waited but still no reply after that.
Abel is Dera class-mate in school back then when she went to a boarding school and later became her boyfriend,their relationship was very toxic,when ever Dera try to forget about him he would always come back begging. It started when she left the school he would always call and say love words to her every time trying to make her stay.
Ping!!
“Sorry I was playing a game with my phone”
Oh!,wow really?
“Yes ever since you left school ask over you through your friend Stacey,when will we see each other I have missed your beautiful face alost”.
Oh,no my phone is dead and there is no light.dera thought has she dropped her phone on her tummy and went deep into thoughts,while starring at the portrait on her wall.
Think about everything not knowing if she could trust Abel words or not,she remembered all the nice memories they both had and she smiled but still not sure if she could trust him.
