At our break time that day I sat alone still thinking of how to go about my plans,it's not going to be easy but I have to do it when I heard a commotion coming from one of the classes I want near to see what class and why the commotion and I got to see it was my class I want in and what I met there socked me to the core benedicta fighting with one of our classmate and other kids were separating them I went there drag benedicta out asking her what happened she then say something that brought down tears from my eyes she said the girl was accusing me of been a thief and she was defending me in a hot argument that's when they started fighting immediately I took a deep breath and hug her so tight saying you don't have to that ok then she said wait and see what I will do to that b***h who started all this in the first place then I immediately told her NO she won't do nothing I have had enough for one day all thanks to that b***h of a friend God!! Everything is so f****d now I said frustrated and angry and that b***h has been avoiding me all day and even in class and I for one don't want to cause a scene and here is my friend getting hurt because of me am so done with this I need to leave that house before I do something crazy to myself and I take benedicta back to the class she just sat there not saying anything and now am thinking what's going through her mind and now it's getting to closing time in school my heart is pounding thinking of what to face at home God when will this night mare I call life end.
I got home that day pack a little bit of my clothes into a poly bag and hid it inside a flower close to our house were no body could see it and I want about doing my walk thinking what to say to the lady when I get to her house and how to runaway without been caught the next day before I left for school I took the bag with me thankful I no longer take Emmanuel to school he does that himself now big boy now right, before i got to my school I hid the bag in a bush and I left it there going back after the school closes to pick it up and change then off to that lady's house crazy you think but I have to do this now to save my skin and funny enough the lady has been really nice to me and I met benedicta at the school gate waiting for me I ran to her and hug her tight telling her I missed her so much then she laughed and said she got a surprise for me that I should follow her to the female restroom I said wow you don't really have to do this now she just drag me with her to the rest room she opened her bag and Brought out some pair of underwear and socks and perfume for me and told I should have them that she saw the ones I have are bad so she thought to bring me this immediately I didn't wait for her to say more I give a big bear hug telling her I love her so much ,this is one thing I like about she gives me things even when I didn't ask her ,food I can't count how many times she brought food for me exspecially when she sees am getting tinner she knows have not been eating and she would buy food for me did I tell that she likes food like alot yes she is a foodie person and I love her that way,so we want back to the class and sat down to receive lectures after the day school I want to the bush
I quickly dress up and put my uniform in the bag and added the new one benedicta give to me and came out carefully hopefully no one was near by so I walked miles and miles to get there when I got there she was so surprised to see me there all alone Without her friend then I greeted her and she ushered me inside give give me food to eat and asked me why I was there so I explained to her all that has been going on in my life been 12 years me with all this problems am having I said to her crying she felt so sorry for me we were interrupted by her boyfriend coming in we all greeted him but me weird thinking that he might asked her to take me back home to my parents and inside him for me not to disturb their privacy you know what I mean like what I just thought about came through after the lady tell him what happened to me he said it wise to take me back to my people it's not safe for her to keep me with her which he was right in someway and he said he felt pity for me ,one thing I hate the most is for someone to be feeling pity for me but not solving my problems one way or the other is for their own selfish reasons,then the worst happened she said she was taking me back home the next tomorrow then I started pleading with her to let me stay with her with hot tears coming down my eyes God this was all a bad idea in the first place now am going to get double of what is waiting for me already now I should find somewhere to dig my own grave I was saying all this in my head while still begging her I told her that they will kill me if I go back to that house she should just let me stay then she said she's going to talk and beg with them on my behalf that it will be alright but to me I know all this isn't going to fine infact it's far from been fine ,I can't go to that house,I can't sleep and I am thinking to myself the kind of scene I will pull to myself the kind of mockery am going to get from all this ,the girl that ran away after stealing money to get a phone f**k am so f****d now I start playing all the scenarios that would happened the next day .
In the morning morning she woke me up to get ready I stood up looking at her not knowing what to say to her anymore to convince her to let me stay,then she asked you didn't get enough night rest right I answered no,then she said it's going to be fine ok ,I answered ok while in my mind I was crying begging God to spare me today from dying we enter a taxi and I was praying we shouldn't get there on time how time flies we were in my house in no time s**t we are here already,we came down she paid the taxi man and she held my hand assuring me it's going to be alright I was just there nodding my head with tears in my eyes saying my last prayers and GLORY came with a mischievously smile asked where have I been that everyone has been looking all over for me I didn't say a word to her then the lady asked where is your mom and GLORY answered she's inside the living room while saying that she ran to my mom and shouted look at those who decided to show up ,my mom stood up immediately ran to me and said where have you been we have been looking all over for you yeah right in my head I said that or rather happy that I was gone for good this time now thinking about the days she would lock me outside the house to sleep there sometimes with no food for 2to3days that am used to now sleeping behind the flowers at night in the rain with insects bitting me ,then the lady spoke good morning madam my mom greeted back then the said if they can seat inside she said sure I followed the lady closely then they sat down my mom offered her soft drink which she declined sweetly then she started explaining everything I told her and begged on my behalf not to get wiped again and the first my mom said was it's was ok that I was just a child not knowing what life is that she forgave me , with me reading her like a book and knowing it's all an act she was one drama queen she always those that after few minutes the lady left leaving me to deal with my problems in her mind she has solved it already not knowing she just added to it immediately my dad came in what a timing I said to myself......shit
