My heart skipped a bit when I sighted him sitting on the double seater couch, his gaze fixed on the newspaper in his hands. "I swallowed all the salivas I could gather and walked up to him "Good morning Dad" I greeted. He looked up and smiled a little before replying my greeting. "Good morning my dear, you are back already?" He asked and I nodded, fiddling with my shirt and wondering what could be going on in his mind. Maybe he was hatching a punishment to give me or something else. He kept quiet for a few minutes and when I thought he wasn't going to start, his voice shook my ears. "Rhoda when did you start going to parties and even staying out the whole night?" he asked, closing his papers and sitting up, his gaze fixated on my face. "I...I ...wa..s invited by a friend to his sister's birthday party but I didn't know the wine I took was alcoholic so I got drunk and a friend took me home" I stuttered, my heart beating faster than normal. I do not like it when my father gets angry
"Definition of what?" I whispered to Rose to understand what the teacher was talking about. "Oxymoron" she whispered back. I breathe in and stood up. Atleast I knew what that was and won't be embarrassing myself. "An oxymoron is a figure of speech that juxtaposes concepts with opposing meanings within a word or phrase that creates an ostensible self-contradiction. Also, an oxymoron can be used as a rhetorical device to illustrate a rhetorical point or to reveal a paradox" I expounded. "Good you knew that, sit down but focus here Rhoda. your mind wasn't in what I was teaching so don't think you can deceive me with the definition you just gave because I saw you asking your friend what I was talking about" he scolded. I nodded and apologized sitting down. Gosh this man could be so difficult most times. Soon, the recess bell rang. We had three more classes after the English and all through the classes, I couldn't concentrate on any of what the teachers were teaching. I rushed out o
"Hahahahah you are so hungry babe" Luca laughed making me roll my eyes at his words. "Ofcourse I am duh!" We finished our food few minutes before the bell rang indicating the end of the recess. Rose and I bid the boys goodbye and walked back to our class. I was packing my books back into my locker after the end of school, when suddenly, a hand slammed hard on my locker causing me to jerk back with a yelp. "What the hell" I shrieked turning to see the intruder who had to scare me like that. "What the hell is wrong with you Jayden?" I yelled at him calming down my racing heart. You would have given me a heart attack you crazy boy" I cursed giving him my deadliest glare. "You know you look hot whenever you are angry and right now, I feel like bending you over this locker" he said, his signature naughty smirk evident on his side lips. I rolled my eye and slammed shut my locker after packing the books. I tried to ignore him and walk off out but he drew me back and pinned my hands abo
"Morning Mom" I greeted, making my way to the breakfast table. "Sweetie you are up, how was your night?" She asked and I nodded already stuffing a piece of pancake in my mouth. "Good mom" I replied gulping down a glass of coffee. I was soon done and drove out of the compound speeding to school. "That Rhoda girl made me have sleepless nights and even had dark circles around my eyes which hadn't happened before, I am surely going to teach her a great lesson today" I mumbled driving as fast as possible. *****RHODA'S POV****** Today's class couldn't get any worse, Jayden kept throwing piece of papers at me and when I had to shout at him, the teacher made me solve a bunch of maths which I clearly hated. Rose had gone to the restroom before the recess so I had to walk to the cafeteria alone today as she would be joining us later on. I was on my way to the cafeteria, walking down the hallway when I was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom. I tried to scream but a hand cove
ONE WEEK LATER... It's evening, my mother had gone to visit one of her friends, Mudy had finally returned to school and my dad went for a business trip. I was bored at home, I kinda missed Mudy's presence at home. Laying on my bed and bored. I had been sleeping ever since I returned from school and now, I'm tired of sleeping. I got down from my bed, straightened my hair and applied my lipgloss, I stepped out of my room, went out of the house to stroll a bit. I walked down the street, people were moving to and fro, the road was busy as it was already mid-evening. I sighted a dessert shop down the road and decided to go have a cup of ice cream there. Walking into the shop, I ordered a cup of strawberry-vanilla flavoured ice cream and burger. I sat close to a window where I would be able to see the view of outside. I plugged in my headset enjoying my ice creams and burger while nodding to the music booming in my ears. I was still engrossed and oblivious of another presence that
She glared at me one last time and walked out daring me to follow her. Not to worry Rhoda, you've done yours now, it's left for me to do mine. I got into my car and trailed behind her, she got to an empty street where no one was and I seized the opportunity to capture her into my car amidst her screams. "What are you doing Jayden?" She screamed trying to open the door which I had already locked. "You can scream all you want Rhoda but I tell you that no one would hear or even see you so you better save your scream for the day i would be banging you unless you want us to do it at the back seat right now" She immediately shut her mouth and clamped her legs tight. "You made me to get three cups of ice cream and burger for you without appreciating me. You even planned with that old woman to assault me right?" I roared making her flinch. "N..o.....no I didn't do such and I didn't make you buy me three cups of ice cream, you bought them yourself so let me go" she raged. "Oh! You now
Today's school was peaceful with no Jayden's bully or Lisa's drama until the dismissal. I still hated the fact that Jayden forced me to suck his d'ck which up till now still irritates me. Luca's practice had extended to Tuesdays also and I had to wait for him today since Rose has an errand to run with Max and they left early after the recess. I sat on my desk, jotting down my birthday wish list. I had decided to make a wish list for my 18th birthday and show them to my friends and family to fulfill them for me on my birthday party. I was going to make a 18 list of things I want. I went into a deep thought and started thinking what I want for my birthday. I have never made a wish list before for any of my birthdays but since it's my 18th birthday, I said to myself that I would make a wish list since I'm officially becoming an adult. Looking into the plain sheet, I opened my ink pen and started: RHODA'S 18TH BIRTHDAY WISHLIST 1. Big pink and white Teddy. 2. A portrait printer.
"What do you want Jayden that you had to beat up my boyfriend the way you did, do you perhaps want to kill him out of jealousy?" I raged glaring at him but keeping my distance to avoid him grabbing me. Who knows if he would also beat me up since he's obviously under hard drugs. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself Rhoda? Your so-called boyfriend couldn't even defend you without being beaten to pulp and you are still following him around" he mocked. "I do not see that as what you should be concerned about so just mention what you want and let me go" I muttered looking into his green orbs which now had a pinch of bloody red making him look kinda scary. "What if I tell you to leave him and come to me or even spend a night on my bed while I bang you would you agree to that?" He asked smirking. "What!!!! No, why would you ask me to do that and why would you think I would do such nonsense when you already beat him up" I yelled holding myself from slapping him. I wouldn't want to land mysel
