*MOM AND DAD, I WANT TO DIE*
*PART 7*
I couldn't talk, I stood still as Stephen (my crush) approached me. I was surprised and wondered what he was doing because he was not with the bus.
"So.... It's you. Hello, how are you doing sir? I asked.
"I am doing fine oooo. How's everything going ma? He asked
"Everything is going good o. What are you doing here and why are you not with the bus?I asked and smiled.
"I came here to see one of the school I submitted my CV to and concerning the bus, I am not working with it anymore" He said as we were walking together.
"Ahhhh....What happened? Hope no problem? How are you now going to be feeding yourself? What job are you going to do now? I screamed as I asked.
"You ask too much questions. How do you expect me to answer everything ? He said as I was smiling.
"Well you have to start from somewhere" I said.
"Well, I am sorry I can't answer all your questions today because I am now in front of my street" He said and then, I realize it's true but I didn't notice on time because I was engrossed in the discussion. I wasn't bothered because I always want to be around him.
"Can I follow you home? I asked as I smiled
"Hmm, I can't guarantee you of that. What about your parents? What would you tell them is the reason for your lateness when you get home? He asked.
"I would lie to her" I said sharply
"No, you won't do that. If that's the case, I want you to go home" he said.
"You can't understand why I said so. Can we just go to your house and talk about it? I said harshly
Seeing all my reactions, he said "Okay let's go" as we both headed towards his house.
We got to his house so fast since it wasn't far from the street. He offered me chilled drink and biscuits before we start our discussion. His house was quite alright, a self con with toilet, bathroom and kitchen inside with a nice smell. The other day, I couldn't see all of it because it was in the evening.
"So, what about you can't I understand? He said after a long time of silence.
"Can we start from yours because mine might take a long time"I said.
"Okay" he said and I repeated my questions.
He smiled as he said "I resigned from my job after I got a job from a school. Everything happened after we spoke, it was just like a miracle. I woke up this morning with a call from the school that I have been selected as one of their staffs. Immediately I was through with everything I had to do, I went straight to my boss, to tell him and went straight to the school. I was coming back from the school when I saw you"
"Wow...this is a good news. Thank God, so what is the name of the school and the subject you would be teaching? I asked..
"God is good memorial secondary school. I was given English language" He said and I screamed as I stood up from the chair I sat on.
He was shocked by my reactions and he asked "What's going on??

*PART 8*
I didn't know what to do as I started laughing.
"Why are you laughing? He asked looking confused.
"Nothing, is just that I can't still believe you are being employed in the school I attend" I said as I smiled.
"Wow, that's good but I don't if I would be teaching your class" he said and laughed
"In Jesus name, you must teach my class o. Even if you don't teach my class, I am happy for you and for the fact that you are in my school, it would give me the opportunity to see you often" I said as I winked and smiled.
"Hmm, don't deceive yourself and focus on your education and not me. So, what is it about you that I cannot understand? He asked.
I was not happy by his respond and I didn't allow that affect my joy as I managed to answer his question "The reason why I said that was because of the family i came from. I came from a family where my dad and mom live separately because of the nature of their job. My dad is presently in Abuja, he comes home thrice in a year and we are here in Enugu state. Sometimes, my mom also get transferred to other state while I stay in my aunt's house or with a house help. So whatever I say to her, she can't know if its true or false because she doesn't have the time to observe or investigate on the issues. I am lonely in that family but none of them, noticed it"
"Hmm.. but you don't have to judge like this. Have you ever find time to talk to your mom and don't you have any siblings" He asked.
"I have never because she is always busy and I once had a younger sister, she dead. So for now, I am the only child. I don't know if my parents are still expecting more" I said and we both laughed as he checked the time.
"It's getting late o. You have to be going home now" he said
"No, I can still stay here till evening. Moreover, my mom won't be at home" I said as I grumbled.
"No, I still insist you should go dear. We would see tomorrow in school" he said as he stylishly pushed me away.
"Are you trying to send me out? I asked angrily.
"No, I won't" he lied as he begged me to leave early because it was getting late. I stood up and expected him to hug me but he didn't respond to any of my body movement. I was annoyed as I left his house.
Stay with me as we journey together
