Two weeks later
Mary Davies
Surprisingly, Hawk Andrews has been avoiding me since our last night together. That night was a different one, totally different from others. I also kept him at arms length and avoided him at all costs. I was still scared of him, because no one ever knows Hawk Andrews next move. He still has the sex tape, every morning when I get to school, the fear of knowing he might release the sex tape to the whole school makes me sick.
I have been feeling sick for the past five days, my mum has been giving me a self treatment, going to a hospital here is kind of expensive and we are still paying our debts. To be honest, I wasn’t feeling better, it was like it was getting worst. Nausea’s every morning when I wake up and anytime I want to sleep, the dizziness was not that frequent. The History teacher sent me out of the class five times last week, because I was sleeping in the class.
Even though I made sure I get enough sleep at night, I still find myself sleeping in class. Mum thinks it’s Malaria and she has been treating me with some antimalarial drugs we have. My stomach rumbled, I wasn’t surprised I was hungry again. I’ve been eating too much and most times, I end up vomiting them. I just hate myself whenever I am sick.
My mum allowed me to call in sick today, with a promise that I won’t stay back at home tomorrow, which I fully agreed to. I have been elected as the senior prefect girl, I was happy and delighted. The one thing that made me want to decline is that I will be working with Hawk Andrews. Taylor didn’t even seem bothered that I got the position, but Queen was so mad, that she even threatened to kill me.
The door of the room opened and my mum stepped inside.
“How are you feeling now?” She asked.
“Better,” I replied, hesitating a bit. I wasn’t feeling better, but I didn’t want her to get worried.
“Mary, I know we haven’t even gotten enough time to get bonded. But, I want to ask you a question and I want you to be straight forward. No lies.” My mum said, I nodded my head in response as I stared at her.
“Are you hiding anything from me?” She asked.
I was hiding a lot, I can’t tell her I have lost my virginity and I have been having sex with Hawk Andrews. She will be so disappointed in me. I tried to mask up the look on my face, the last thing I want is for my mum to keep asking me questions. I shook my head.
“No mum,” I replied.
“I don’t know why I have a feeling that you have been hiding something from me. I overheard Jessica telling her mother that you have been going into her brother’s room. I don’t want to believe that, that’s why I’m asking you, and I want you to trust me.”
Jessica saw me, that evil girl. I wonder what else she has seen.
“Mum, Jessica hates me. I don’t know why she does. But I know she wants to ruin me, she accused me of stealing are Jewelries the other day, now she is accusing me of stealing in her brother’s room.” I exclaimed loudly.
“Accused you? Mary, how did the Jewelry get into your bag if you didn’t steal it. I didn’t raise a thief for a daughter, I know I haven’t been able to meet your needs, but if you have been pilfering, I want you to stop Mary. please, I beg of you.”
I just stared at my mum with shock written all over my face, I can’t believe she thinks I am actually a thief.
“But mum!” I exclaimed loudly, scoffing.
“You think, I am actually a thief?” I asked.
“Unbelievable, my mum is actually accusing me of stealing. So you believe an outsider over me, and you want me to trust you. You don’t trust me and I will never trust you, that makes us even though.”
“You have suddenly changed, you are not the mother I used to know. I know I have been a hindrance to you, you must have wanted to get rid of me along the line. And I still wonder why you didn’t.” I added.
“Watch your mouth, I won’t let you talk to me like that.” My mum scolded.
“And I won’t let you accuse me of what I’m not guilty of.” I replied.
“Not guilty of?” She questioned.
“Mary, the Jewelry was found with you and yet you keep denying it. You steal, and then you lie also. What other wrong things have you been doing.”
“Seducing boys, sleeping with boys and what else?” my mum yelled.
I gasped, who the hell told her I was sleeping with boys.
“Tell me Mary.” She yelled again.
“Your grades is getting low, what is happening. I got a call from the Principal’s office last week. Tell me, what is making you look focus. Do you want to ruin your life? what has gotten into your head!”
“How can a straight A student become an average student all of a sudden. Tell me what is going wrong.” My mum cried out.
I freeze, low grades for the first time in my life. I have always had straight A’s. I didn’t even notice, I haven’t been getting my test results, I don’t submit any assignments, because I don’t do them. What is happening to me, why is this happening for crying out loud.
My mum suddenly got up and opened the door to the room.
“Come inside Jessica.” My mum called out. And the evil little monster came inside with a smirk on her face.
