THE MYSTERY GIRL.
Why don't I act my age? I see weird stuff, I have strange voices. Why can't I act like a normal sweet sixteen? Or is something wrong with me? And why are these strange dreams or are they revelations? My head is aching, okay Twinkle, relax, take a deep breath, now out. Good ? forget everything and pull yourself together. Oh uh. Not okay, the weird nightmares I've been having ever since I clocked 16 are telling on me, and what on God's green land is inaccurate about this strange girl in my class. Why do I get these strange vibes from her? Who is she? I'm not assuming things right?
“T, it's time to wake up, the alarm has gone off since 6 am and this is 6:30 am, aren't you going to school today?”
Who the hell is she? Why won't she stop appearing to me? I keep seeing her eyes gazing at me. And now she's coming towards me, her blurry stature keeps coming towards me. Why won't she stop coming? No, she is floating towards me, Oh no! I don't want her to touch me, stay away from me, stay aw-
“T”. I sensed someone shaking me violently or is it? No, it can't be.
“T?”. The shout and the shaking are just too much, and suddenly I'm floating WTH? I'm falling into a very big hole. Oh no! I don't want to die, I don't want to die.
Chapter 1
“Noooo”. I screamed as I jolt awake shaking visibly, I took a look at my surroundings and suddenly realized where I am.
“T?”. I looked into the eyes of a woman I recognize too well, my mother, only she calls me ‘T’.and right now, she looks so worried.
“What is wrong dear”. She inquired
“Nothing mum”. I lied. Knowing my mum to be a fragile woman, she would freak out if I should tell her about my nightmares, and probably she might not believe me.
“Okay?”. She looked at me doubtfully
“What? I told you it's nothing “.
“Are you hiding things from me?”. She inquired
“No, I am not hiding anything from you sweet mother”. I faked a smile, I'm still mad at her and dad for bringing me here, looking for a distraction, my eyes landed on my alarm clock. Geez, it says 6:40 am, not again. Without much to say, I dashed into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and took a clean quick bath, the school bus is going to be here at exactly 6:50, so I quickly dressed up, carried my backpack, and headed downstairs.
“T, breakfast is ready, come take a seat, I made your favorite”. She said dishing the food.
“Really?”. I asked sarcastically, she knew I was being sarcastic.
“T, what is wrong?” She asked trying to get closer to me but I retreated “Why are you harsh towards me?”. Questions upon question, deciding not to reply, I packed my favorite breakfast of bread, tea, and scrambled eggs into my food flask, she passed me a note of 1000naira and forced a peck on my cheek, just then I heard the honking of the school bus and rushed to the main door, I think I heard mum say “Goodbye T”. I entered the bus and sat in the backseat.
