I watched people walking on the streets sitting on a bench close to my estate. I got disgusted with the category of humans so I stood up and walked home. I knocked on the hard gate instead of using the bell and the guard opened
“Welcome miss ” .
I walked past into the big house. My family is average, I also do have a driver but now I prefer being alone. I stepped into the living room about climbing the stairs
“Welcome Dawn, didn’t know you arrived. How was school ” mum asked walking out of the kitchen.
I gave a nod and retired back to climbing the stairs.
“Your lawyer called, he wanted to talk to you!” she yelled behind me.
I closed the door to my bedroom and dropped my bag on the table, I took off my pop socks and clothes. I stumbled on the bed and shut my eyes close for a minute.
I opened them again and they met with the pictures hanging on the wall…my pictures. A picture with the cheerleaders, another on stage in my ballet costumes and another with my friends out camping.
Those fun days I missed them, the fun moments we had, how hysterical we laughed and teased each other. The excitement I had within, those mornings I woke up happily..
Knock! Knock “It’s me dear ” my mum’s voice. The door opened and she walked in to me on the bed, I sat up.
“Sweetie come have lunch with me downstairs” She said placing her hand on mine.
“I don’t want to ” I replied simply.
“I want my daughter back, I miss my child, I want the dawn I gave birth to” she tilted her head up to prevent the tears.
“Dear I miss you cooking with me, the house is boring without you singing and dancing around, I miss you, your dad does too” the tears fell.
“I miss me too mum ” . She raised my chin and kissed me “You’ll be fine, I know it ” the door closed behind her.
The ray of sunshine on my closed eyes, mum must have left the blinds open rather than waking me up. My eyes fluttered open, I went out of the bed sluggishly and walked straight into the bathroom.
The happy Dawn would first run to her parents room and jump on them sleeping. I picked my toothbrush, pressed on it paste and washed my teeth. I don’t have to give details, everything sucks now.
I got class in a pair of jeans and tank top and slipped in a denim jacket. I tried sneaking out of the house to avoid anyone talking to me or having breakfast but I failed.
“Dawn?! ” Dad’s voice echoed the large living room. I stopped on my track and took a turn to him.
“I was just about going to your room, you slept before I came home last night, how was your night?” he smiled. I nodded slightly “Did you have breakfast? ” he asked. I kept mute.. He held my hand and walked me to the dinning, he pulled out a chair and I sat.
He walked into the kitchen and came out the kitchen with mum holding breakfast.
Dad served me pancakes and a hot cup of cream coffee, I started eating quickly so
I could leave here soon enough I really don’t want to say a word.
I gulped down the hot coffee and stood up to leave, Dad called, he walked few steps and hugged me, he disengaged and kissed my head
“Have a great day “. I nodded and turned to the exit. The driver helped with the door and soon we were on our way to Maymack, my worst nightmare.
The fact am going there is making my blood boil.. Am slowly losing patience, the quest for justice.. How bad I want it and how soon I want it to come.
The gulp of emotions within makes me wanna explode . The car suddenly jerked and stopped, I looked through the window and students roamed around, I sighed and came out the car.
I walked to the class and sat on my desk ignoring the crowd of eyes on me. The door opened and a male tutor walked in, I almost puked at the sight of such human. I carried my backpack and used the door, he didn’t dare call me back.
