Chapter 5: Episode 4

Mara

I woke up immediately the sun shone into my room .

Argh I groaned as I felt a loud bang on my head, last night was really scary can't believe I tried to kill

myself that was so foolish of me, what was I even thinking.

I ran back home immidiately the guy left to pick the call .

I signed as my stomach grumble loudly that was when I remembered that there is no food in this

house.

I stood up and picked my cloth I call bed and kept it then went to brush my teeth.

I packed my hair in a pony tail, I really needed the job badly

***

I picked up my bicycle and whistle to myself as I rode out.

I packed behind a restaurant and entered.

What are you doing here a voice asked and I stopped.

Ma I really wanna apply for a job I said.

Did I tell you I needed badluck here, how dare you show your disgusting face here she said angrily

while everyone looked at me in a irritative manner.

Am sorry ma I would leave now I said as tears flowed down my eyes.

You leave and don't ever show your face here again she said .

I felt so bittered as I roll my bicycle .

I smiled as I watched my age mate laugh at me, why won't they laugh they where going to school and

am not.

Won't you go to school a girl among them said teasing me and I smiled, there's no need of crying .

I ignored and rode my bicycle to the beach I would just mind my business since no one notices me

here and I do have peace of mind.

I ate the sandwich I bought along the road .

Hours later.

I looked at everyone as they left the beach, well am gonna stay here till the water take me away.

I laided on my bicycle, just then my eyes caught someone.

Hey miss he said coming towards me, it was the guy of yesterday.

I stood up immediately and tried leaving guy he quickly caught me .

Why did you leave last night he asked starring at me.

Am sorry I said and bowed my head.

You know am not really mad at you, you just have to follow me he said.

Huh I can't follow you I don't even know you I said scared.

Come on he said and sat down and dragged me along with him, now you tell me why you wanna kill

yourself he said.

I can't tell you that I said breathing heavily.

calm down and trust me, I won't hurt you he said.

Ok fine, the truth is that since I was born, I never knew who my parents where,I was dumbed in a dust

bin to die but luckily an orphanage home took me but they threw me out when I was 7, the only thing

my parents left with me was a wrapper and my birth date since then i have struggling to survive, I have

tamed as badluck/cursed child, nobody wanna be my friend nobody wanna talk to me nobody wanna

employ me am just do lonley I said crying. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I felt relived in his arms maybe it was because no one had ever done this to me before.

You see I could help you gain admission in glamous high school he said.

What I asked surprised that school is meant for only the rich they are gonna bully me there I said

scared.

Oh you don't have to worry about that, I school there and don't worry I would protect you .

Thank you so much I said happily, I would be in my way now I said and tried standing up.

promise.
