I rolled my eyes, I ran after David...
I passed some of the maids, running off to stop him.
Unfortunately, David entered a car and it drives away.
I had to wait for a cab to come before trying to go after him...
But when it did, David had already left.
I even went to the same printing press to ask if anyone had come by but no one did.
I moved back home.
Mom was busy preparing lunch when she saw me walk in.
"Hey, you're not in school today why?". She asked.
I came to her at the table, pressing my hands against one of the chairs, "no, I didn't have classes today,". I lied.
Mom looks at me, "Sure baby, you've never really been at home this early,"... She says, walking into the kitchen.
I followed her, " yes mom, but I didn't have a lot of classes to attend, so don't worry," I smiles and grabbed a glass of water from the fridge...
I left the kitchen.....
I went to my bedroom to change.
And decided to rest for a while.
I had this feeling that mom or dad hasn't seen the flyers, perhaps, David didn't get to fix the flyers again...?..
"Muna! Where are you?".
Dad yelled, storming his feet close to my door... Within five minutes of having my eyes shut.
I jumped down from the bed and ran out of my room, we met at the door.
"Hey, what happened dad!". I said, noticing the angry look in his eyes.
Dad grabbed my hand, " come with me,". He says and dragged me outside.
"Dad, what is going on,". I said, dad pushed me outside, and he takes up his gaze pointing at something, "take a look,". He says.
I looked up, seizing the fact that my entire photo has been spread across the streets.
What the heck?" mom says, as she grabbed my shoulders, turning me to her gaze.
"Do you know who might have done this?, Is there something you're not telling me?". Mom ragged slowly.
"No! But I do know who is responsible,". Dad says as we both turned to him.
He looks at us and said, "Corey did this, that son of a b***h, thinks he can humiliate my daughter, he has something else coming,"...
Dad yelled...
He angrily slammed his hands into a trashcan by his side... He felt the pain after doing that.
Mom comes to him.
"Dear, you shouldn't let your anger get the better of you,"..... She said as she held unto the affected area...
Dad however looks at her and got even angrier.
He takes his hands away and went back into the house.
Mom looks at me, "shall we go in?" She said.
I faced around and the idea of letting my picture parade around the city isn't something I should just let go of that easily.
"Mom, you go inside and I'll come to join you later,"... I said.
Mom noticed something strange, " you sure?". She asked.
"Yes mom, I'm sure,". I said and smiled afterward.
Mom nods and she walked back into the house.
How do I get rid of my photos pasted around?.....
Surely I can't do this alone...
"Muna Daniel,"... Sara yelled my name across the street. . She gets down from her car and furiously approached me.
"How dare you, leave without telling me what's happening?". She says, taking up her hand to hit me.
I used my hand to block my face.
When I realized that she wasn't going further, I opened my eyes and saw the bedazzled look on her countenance.
She stared around.
"What is all this Muna,". She faced me, " is there something I should know,?". She said as she takes back her hand.
