EPISODE TWO(2)
Coming back home after having a very tiring and stressful day in school,I met an empty house.Well am already used to it cos my mother is a civil servant and doesn't return back home till it's 5:00pm and sometimes she returns by 6:00pm but that's if she had to branch to the market to get some foodstuffs and other things.I redressed,washed my school uniform and prepared noodles to eat,after which I settled down to update my notes.After updatingy notes,I picked a novel to read so as to pass time with it.I forgot to tell you that am a very fast writer.
At about 5:25pm Mum returned back from work and after the normal greetings and preparing her bath water,I went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.I know you might be wondering how old I am and whether I can actually cook? Yep I can cook quite very well and am 10 years old.My Mum saw to it that I learnt how to cook.Well we were having Jellof rice for dinner,so I went to prepare it.I was still parboiling the rice when my Mum joined me and we started cooking the food together.During our stay in the kitchen preparing the food,Mum asked me how my first day in school was and I told her everything that happened not leaving any part untold.She told me that I should know that it's normal for students to behave like that towards new students and I shouldn't take it to heart and I should please try and be me social and friendly towards others."My joy,like she normally calls me,please try and come out of this your introvert shell and socialize with others please" she said.Well that was my mother's way of asking me to socialize and make new friends.Normal me don't just like staying in a place filled up with people talk more of making friends like that,I hate drawing unnecessary attention to myself.This was actually the main reason why I go to 5:00am morning mass instead of 7:00 or 10:00 am mass and I never bothered joining any society in my church.And I don't like going out talk more of going to birthday parties, wedding ceremony etc.
Somebof you might be wondering what type of girl is this,well welcome to Kelly Avine's world.I would have preferred having online classes if not that my Mum is not financially buoyant and even if she was,she will never have agreed to that owing to the fact that she wasn't happy with my introvert and indoor nature l.
We finished preparing the food and I dished out the food and we ate together after which I went to get my Uniform,ironed it and retired to bed not without saying my prayers.
ANGEL'S POV
The classroom was quiet as all the students were busy with their books,when our Form mistress,Miss Emily entered the classroom with a very beautiful,no handsome student and introduced her as Kelly Avine,a new student who has been assigned to our class.She put her locker behind me and left the class.I couldn't stop thinking about the angel sitting behind me.Well I pretended not to be interested in talking to her by ignoring her when she tapped me on the shoulder.She didn't even bother bother giving me a second tap and I concluded that she must be a very proud and arrogant girl,if only I knew I was wrong about her.No wonder there is a saying "Never Judge a book by its cover".I guess I was judging her already without getting to know her.
She tried talking to some of my classmates but none gave her a listening ear.She left the class and after about ten minutes later she returned to the class with many notebooks I assumed she borrowed.I felt so bad for treating her like I did and wanted to apologise but never got a chance because teachers were flooding in and out of our class.During break time I wanted to go and apologize but Hazel and Mia my besties came and dragged me to the cafeteria to buy some snacks.
During our stay in the cafeteria,I just couldn't get my mind off Kelly, thank God for the school regulator who rang the bell that brought me back to earth.On our way back to the class,my besties wouldn't stop asking me what was wrong with me."Angel,what wrong with you,you seemed to be thinking about something, what's the matter,let us in please" said Mia my friend
"Am perfectly fine" I replied
"You can't tell me that,oh wait oooo,don't tell me you are already thinking about the cutie in our class,or are you already falling for her" said Mia
"Oh God,help me.Mia how can you say such a thing.Well am not thinking about her" I replied in defense.All this while Hazel has been quiet cos that's her nature.She hardly talks as if she would be charged for the words she spoke."It better be ooo" Mia said
With that said we entered the class and teaching commenced and I wasn't given a chance to apologise again cos she hurriedly left the class when the bell signifying that we were done for the day was rung.I went home,are my lunch,did some house chores and retired to my room to read and thankfully the book did a great job in temporarily getting my mind off the new student,Kelly Avine.
