Katie a little girl at the age of thirteen loves her grandmother so much and has always dreamed and hoped to see her mom one day.
After being called names at school right after closing time, Katie will always run home in tears and ask her grandmother about her mother but then she gets no reply from her grandmother.
what exactly happened?? why is her grandmother refusing to tell her the whereabout of her mother??
It continued till one-day her grandmother couldn't keep her from waiting any longer ,she said"Katie actually your mom is alive and she's also a famous singer in Asia ". Katie was sad at first but later she was proud that her mother is a famous singer and that also means that she's not an orphan. she later promised herself that she's also going to be a famous singer and also an author. The next day she went to school feeling so happy that she has finally found out that she is not an orphan.She wanted to shout and tell everybody that she's not an orphan but then it's not everybody that will believe her, still lost in thought she bumped into someone and she realized that she just bumped into the group leader of the girls that bully her a lot and her name is Sharon Cann. she stepped back immediately but it was too late.
"Hey mushroom can't you see?, are you blind or something?" said one of Sharon's followers and Sharon said "Don't bother about a curse like her". Sharon pushed her away and Katie was slammed into the wall but Sharon just passed with her followers without sparing her another glance. Katie was filling pains all over and tears began flowing from her eyes.She decided to sing one of her favorite songs that grandma told her to sing whenever she's sad, just to remember that she her grandma is always there for her. She began singing Because you loved me by Celine Dion.
"For all those times, you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful
you're the one who held me
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all.....................".
She didn't finish when the school principal was passing by when she heard the voice of someone singing and she said" Who is out here by this time that class has began singing with a nice voice?" she asked herself,then she decided to find out who that person is.
When she got to where Katie was, she saw Katie in tears and she decided to ask what's happening to her and why she's not in class right now. the principal said"Hey dear,what's your name and why are you in tears,why aren't you in class?".Katie wiped her tears with the back of her palm and she said " My name is Katie Willingston, I'm fine I just didn't watch my steps and I accidentally slipped and fell. The principal then said"okay then go to class now". "okay principal" Katie said before rushing to class.
