7:03pm.
Blake's POVI brushed my hair in front of the mirror but I suddenly stopped halfway to think about my life. I've not talked to my mum since yesterday. She wouldn't even want to talk to me.
I gave my school a thought. Everything must have spill by now. I'm going to loose my new post, my reputation with the teachers. My enemies! Jadesola, Shile and Tinashe.
I shrugged off my nervousness and moved out for school. I met my mum at the dining just in front of me. I went dumb and try to mutter something.
"Good morning mum"
She ignored me and took her car keys. I smirked and went over to the table. Blaire got worried but could not talk.
"Mum I'm talking to you!" I protested still unanswered.
She suddenly turned back at me and lashed me.
"Please! Don't mum me a

That's what he sent Nicholas to tell me. I decided to meet him again during the break period.Nicholas and I heard hot exchanges between him and someone I believed to be Jadesola.

Tiana's POV."Here you go" He leaned against the window to avoid the blunt shining light rays falling in to the room from outside. His room was at the house's wall with his window located right at the front of the building. He gaze fell on me and I tried to look away by feigning to stare at the pictures hung on the wall."Have you been in a relationship before" he suddenly asked, sounding so serious than ever.I sensed the conversation was getting sensitive and more serious so I adjusted on the bed and sat on my knees in Muslim style. The dress I believe he got from his sister for me barely reached my knees so I had to maintain a good sitting posture not to misbehave."No" I simply answered and his serious face soften into a smirk."I've been in one before. My first and last. It was so sweet and sour" he said with a mixture of anonymous.

She said, crossing her arms folding her arms.Immediately, I felt I need to break the news to her just then. There'll be no perfect time to do that more than this time.

Tiana's POV.I won't forgive myself if this is true."Dad!" I whispered with a shaky voice."Why are you being babyish about everything. What's wrong with what I did?" He sniffed and leaned over the door."You made me...in fact I thought... how could you?! I never knew this" I shuttered beneath tears."You see you can't understand a lot of things. You're still a kid and things..." He tried coax me but I cut him off."Ohhhh! It's okay. There's no point in arguing. The woman we're talking about is dead already, dad. You don't need to apologize" my head spanked hard in pain as I referred mum as a dead woman. The tears I tried to calm fell gently on my fingers.I'm still a kid.

So I... took her the hospital" I shuttered at first but corrected myself at the thought that everything I'm saying is being recorded and my tone of confidence would be noted.I looked up at her after I discovered she wasn't responding. She was just staring and smirking at me. My nervousness grew bigger and I adjusted on the chair. She then took a huge breath and stood up."Okay then, how many of you live in the house?" She asked, wearing a slight frown to note the relevance of the question."My mum, Patricia the cook and I" I replied."Really? When we got to your house yesterday, we could not trace the whereabouts of Patricia, do you have any idea of where she is?" She questioned intelligently."No"

I was never fashion crazy when nothing happened to me, let alone in a mourning mood. I just packed my hair in a bun and NY face was nothing to write about, it was make-up blank. Just few minutes ago, we saw some malnourished children ;big stomach and head with tiny legs, dusty and looking uncared for on the way. Their eyes lingered through scorching sun at our car in awe.They stopped immediately when they sighted the car from afar and their their playing cans with tensed faces and waited for us to pass by.Children at the age of 2-4 among them had clothes that barely reached their knees. Not deliberately from my judgement , those clothes looked like like they've been wearing since they were infants, but couldn't change them.The one that got to me most was two boys that were wearing a top that barely reached their
