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.

my thoughts went to last night she I shivered .

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 rolled 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 been tamed as badluck/cursed child, nobody wanna be my friend nobody wanna talk to me nobody wanna employ me am just so lonley" I said crying.

"Am sorry baby "he said and hugged me.

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 saw scared.

"Oh you don't have to worry about that, I school there and don't worry I would protect you "he said Smiling at me softly

"Thank you so much "I said happily,.

"I would be in my way now "I said and tried standing up.

"You don't have to go mara you can spend the night in my place since I live alone I won't touch you" I promise.

Pinky promise I asked.

"Yeah "he said and nodded .

"Ok let's go" I said as he led me towards his car while he brought my bicycle along.
