*MOM AND DAD, I WANT TO DIE*
*PART 3*
It was a letter. I was confused and was also eager to know what was in the letter as I picked up the letter. It goes thus:-
Hello little girl, why were you staring at me???
I was angry and at the same time, I was happy that I received a letter from him. It showed that I was noticed. I was angry because he saw me as a little girl. I wanted to be more than a little girl in his sight. I was disappointed as I picked my pen and biro to reply his letter..
It goes thus :-
I might be small in age but I am more matured. I always spend my breakfast and lunch money just to see you ever since the day I saw you in the bus, I know we both understand there's a chemistry between us. Your smile brightens my day and also put a smile on my face. I love you and I know you love me too. Thank you as I expect your favorable response.
I dipped the letter inside my school bag. Like every day, I stood at the junction where the bus would pick me up but something unusual happened, the bus stopped right in front of me as I entered. It occurred to me that it was my crush(the conductor) that signaled to the driver to stop the bus as I entered the bus. My crush started looking at me and I did as if I didn't see him as I started laughing. I didn't wait for him to ask for my money as I stretched my money with the letter wrapped in between to him. He collected the money and separated the letter from it as he read it stylishly. He gave me my change with the letter within as I got down from the bus. I couldn't wait to check what was written as I walked towards my classroom. I was about to read the letter when I met Priscilla at the class entrance.
"Hello. How are you doing? I asked
"I am fine and you? She asked
"I am good" I said
"How is your lover boy? She asked as she winked at me.
"Which of your lover boy ooo? I asked as the assembly bell rang and we moved to the assembly ground.
It was few days to our exams, the principal announced to prepare much better but all I could only think of was to read the letter given to me. After the assembly as we matched straight to our classroom, my class teacher came to meet me. She asked what was wrong with me because she saw all of my actions. I told her nothing as I pulled myself together so as not to lose focus but the thought of reading the letter, kept coming to me as I couldn't wait for the closing bell.
After hours, the closing bell was rang and we all prepared to go home. I didn't even wait for Priscilla as I walked directly to the bus junction to wait. I stood for an hour without the traces of the bus and such as never happened. I thought maybe it was because of the letter I wrote to him but instantly, I remembered the letter he gave me as I trekked home to read what was written.
What could have gone wrong??

*PART 4*
As I got home, I sat down on the chair and dropped my bag as I brought out the letter.
"Hello angel... You can call me on this number" that was all about the letter. I was happy as I brought out my phone to dial the number. I dialed his number several times but it was switched. I was not happy as I went to the room to change my clothes and do my house chores before my mum comes back.
After doing all my house chores, I picked up my book and managed to read some pages of my books before I slept off. I woke up late in the evening by the voice of my mother shouting my name.
"Ma" I shouted as I slammed my legs on the ground.
"You are sleeping again when you mate are reading abi??? She screamed.
"No ma, I have been reading my book and I don't know how I slept off" I said as I yawned.
"See the way you are yawning. I wonder how you are passing but please read well, you know how I and your dad is trying to give you the best. Now your dad has gone for another job in Abuja and here I am also working alll for you to give you the best. So please read, read o" she said
"Yes, i am trying my best and I know you are also doing your best as my parents. All you have to do is to continue praying for me" I said
"Yes we are praying for you my dear. I pray God help us to provide more" she said
"Amen" I said
After a brief discussion with her, she asked me to go and continue reading. I went inside my room as I picked my phone to call my crush before reading but his number was reachable. I dropped the phone angrily as I picked up my book to read but it wasn't going through. I tried his number several times until he picked his call.
"Hello, I having been calling your number but it has not been reachable " I said
"Yes dear, Its the network of the environment I stay. How are you doing? He asked.
"I am good and you? I asked
"I am fine" he said
"I didn't see your bus today, hope no problem? I asked
"Not really, our vehicle developed some fault this morning. So I have to come back home to rest. We are sorry " He said.
"No problem, I am glad you are fine. Thank you for replying me well. I appreciate" I said
"You are welcome angel and I understand you" he said
"What exactly do you understand? I asked
"Don't worry. Just be careful not to do anything hasty" he said
"I am not doing anything hasty or is loving you hasty? She asked sharply.
"Let's not talk about this now, we would discuss later. Take care of yourself" he said
"Please don't cut the call yet, I don't understand you. Where is your home address since we stay in the same area? Please tell me" she said as she begged.
He gave her his home address as she lied to her mother she was going to Priscilla and she left the house.
Stay with me as we journey together
I am truly sorry this came late.
