Tears of pain

Chapter 2 Get bully at school

Delta, Nigeria 8:30pm

At school I was quite I had no friends,I was all alone. At time my classmates bully me a lot at school, I have no one to fight for me.

The name of my school is NTIC which is different from Daniel school, so whenever I got bully at school I have no one to run too at school. My classmates doesn’t like me because I’m considered to be the dullest in class, my teacher doesn’t like me also because the rest of my classmates can Read but I can’t read.

To her I’m stressing her, so because of this she always gives me punishment all the time.My classmates will all laugh at me And calling me all kind of name, I feel like crying at then but I will stop myself from crying. Sometimes I feel like not going to school anymore,My friends keep mocking me.

“Guys come and take a look at the dull head, she’s thinking again about her poor life. One of them came to my sit and slapped me, I stopped my self for shedding tears.

“You know what, you can continue thinking until you get old ok.

Because you will never be better than us because you are so useless and stupid. I just hate you for no reason maybe because you are to dumb for my liking.

Keep on wishing your life was better dull head.” They all laughs at me as they went away.

I didn’t take it to heart because I have gotten use to this type of treatment at school. I have no one to walk home with when

is closing time, just me and my little brothers. The rest of my classmates usually go home in group, sometimes I wish I can join them too.

When I go home, no one was at home so I quickly made something for us to eat because we were starving.

After eating my brothers when out to play, I was at home thinking about what my classmates told me at school, I just want them to be my friend that’s all I didn’t said I’m better than them they are the ones who is even better than me.

“Maybe they are jealous of you because you are more pretty than them” that’s what my mind told me. I just laugh at my own self for thinking that. After sometime Daniel came back from school and saw me thinking.

“Hey, little sis what’s up? How was school today he asked.

“ fine, what about you I asked him

“ school was fun today, I was the one that represent my school at football today because no one is as good as me. he joke about it

“Good for you then, you are brilliant and handsome unlike me who is dull. I said feeling sad for myself

“Sarah will you for once stop saying you are dull, my Sarah is not dull ok.

Stop minding what others says about you alright. To me you are always brilliant and smart, do you remember when we were little we were all playing hide and see and someone tried to carry James when he was playing outside.

What did you do, you jumped on the man back and bites him very hard on is shoulder when he was screaming and everyone came at and founded him holding James who was crying.

You where so brave even though you were still little at then. I’m proud to have you as my little sis ok.

I can’t control my tears anymore so I just let it out, Daniel hug me as he keeps telling encouraging things. I don’t like telling my family what’s happening to me at school. The last time I told my mom what I’m facing at school she came to my school and was shouting for my teacher, every since then my classmates kept calling me mommy girl because I was so scared that I have to run to my mom for help.

So I stopped telling most of my problems to my mom and Daniel. Because I don’t want them to be worried about me, ever since then I started keeping all my problems to myself even though I’m emotional down.

At night I will wake up and pray to god so he can help me to know how to read and let him help me so I can be brilliant. So my classmates will stop making fun of me.

I want to prove to my classmates that I’m not dull head as they say I am, that I can also read like them too. I always wish to be a doctor when I grow up,That was my dream ever since I was little.and I’m confident that I will achieve my goals in life.

I want to make my parents to be proud of me as their only daughter, I don’t want to make any wrong mistake I will regret later on. Because of this my friends at home always say I’m boring because I don’t do things they usually do.

All of them have boyfriends at the age of 14 and 13, must of the time when they are always talking about what their boyfriends get for them, I don’t use to be part of it.

When I was 13 one of my friend told me to get a boyfriend who can give me money to buy whatever I want.

~~~~Flash Back~~~~

“Sarah you know you are a pretty girl right, so why don’t you get yourself a boyfriend who can take good care of you, I’m fourteen and I have a boyfriend who buys anything I want.”

“You need to stop behaving like a baby, I don’t ask my mom for money to buy things I need. My boyfriend provides anything I want if I ask him for it. So I want you to get yourself one ok“

“Patient, I really appreciate your thoughtful manners, but you see I don’t really need a boyfriend who will buy me clothes and all that ok. I’m contented with the little my parents give me. And I need to advice you of one thing.”

“You taking money from boys doesn’t mean I will be like you. And be careful of the way you moving around with boys, you are too young for such things ok.” That was what I told her at that time before we left my dad building.

~~~~ End Of Flash Back~~~~~

So ever since then the rest of my friends said I’m boring, that I’m just westing my beauty. So whenever they are talking about their boyfriends I will just walk out of them.
