THE HATE YOU GIVE

Rebecca grabbed her school bag from the coffee table where she left it yesterday after writing her homework. On her way out , she looked up at the clock and she was late . " Come on you gonna miss your bus ", said her father sitting on the kitchen chair holding a cup of coffee. " Yeah see you later and don't forget what today is ". She was a good runner but in school she played soccer. In a Sprint she was at the bus stop , not even a minute she got there her bus came . Reb was a tomboy, she never cared how everybody saw her . Living alone with her father who worked as an accountant , she didn't mind about her mom as she was told when she was a little girl that mommy went away and will never come back . She knew that meant her mom was dead , in the pictures they share a lot of resemblances with her mom , but to be honest she loved her father so much that she didn't feel like wanting a mommy. Teachers and other students never really got along with her except one guy , Timothy her best friend and best coach. Everyday after school they went to the practice in the field and if she missed the bus , Timothy will definitely take her home with his car. Before he went to the office , he quickly went to Ouma's cafe to place the order. " Oh my god Marcus I already know what to do , I know what today is you shouldn't have bothered " said the old lady of about Sixty years , Mrs Marshall. With a chuckle Marcus said " you are the most important person Mrs Marshall I thought you forget ". " Don't be silly Marcus , Reb grew up right in front of my eyes , and you what tonight I'm coming to celebrate with you guys . Last year i couldn't make it but tonight it's going to be special , I have dishes to cook Marcus if you don't mind please excuse me ". Marcus adored Mrs Marshall so much , he sometimes wished he was his mother . Unlike his own mother who never talked to her right after getting married to Lizette , Reba's mother . Almost everyone in his family didn't like Lizette , only his father showed his support and love . " Okay Marshall I'll come pick you up after work". The day was long but luckily he didn't feel it cause it was a special day today . He quickly put his things in the bag ready to wrap up for the day when his phone rang . "Hello". " Hello is this Mr Smith !!??.. " Yes and you are!!!...??" . " I'm Lesley Brandon from Late Lake primary school I'm calling on behalf of your daughter Rebecca who was engaged in a fight with other pupil here at school . The principal would like you to show up and talk this through Mr Smith ". " okay no problem..I'll be there in few minutes " He grabbed his things and headed out.
