My head is in frustration!
I can't understand Miss Fatima. Does she even know that I confront Rhea because I want to help her?
"Argh! How difficult life could be?!" I said while massaging my temple.
My head is now aching. Maybe because I am stressed, plus the argument that happened a while ago.
In order to forget my problems, temporarily, I open my laptop so that I can open my social media accounts and have some chit - chat with my friends. I think it's been a week since I last open my facebook account.

The heat that I am feeling right now is so intense.I know that I am not the only one who can feel the rising temperature.

Or while he is in Beiyora?My mind is full of "what ifs". I can't handle this feeling anymore. I might explode anytime."Calm, Sarah. Be calm.

With that way, what I am feeling right now will ease.I started thinking of any other reasons why I cannot call my father's phone. Maybe, he is in the middle of his meeting. Maybe, his phone has low battery. Maybe, he is just busy.Okay. I will just tell Miss Fatima about it. I know that she can help me. I know that Miss Fatima is not like me. She can control her emotions and she does not think
