Betrayal at its peak, a friend snatches what belongs to her friend without any regrets
Betrayal at its peak, a friend snatches what belongs to her friend without any regrets
I hurriedly left the house with a shock on my face, never felt this disappointed in my entire life. Now all I could think about is why must this happen to me. Tears freely flowed down my cheeks while I digest what has just happened taking to my wheels like I was a criminal just because I didn't want to hear anything at this point .
Why does it hurt so much in my chest? I feel like I'm dying within and there's no one there to feel my pain, more like I've been stabbed with a sharp knife but I couldn't bleed my heart out .
Well, this is how it all started. Growing up wasn't very easy for me but having an intelligent child like me there wouldn't be room for worries because I could write a new chapter in our life if I worked a little harder. Papa was always busy with work trying to bring something to the table, mama on the other hand wasn't that strong to work because of an accident she encountered. Life changed for her and she became devastated and she wasn't the cheerful mama I used to know. We've all been trying to get her back on her feet but she seem too broken. My brother also left the house after being scolded by papa for following bad friends who are of no good influence to him . Ever seen he left I've never set my eyes on him . I sometimes wish I could just meet him for once ,only God knows how much I miss my brother.
Now, back to me, I go by the name Amaya Wilson such a lovely name for a princess but that isn't so ,I hail from a poor background which didn't stop me from always dreaming of taking my family from this wretched place we call a home . I attend a prestigious school in our city which wasn't too far from home. People wondered how I was paying for tuition at a school meant for the rich kids, the truth is I couldn't afford the tuitions with the situation my family is in but with brains I won a scholarship and got the chance to study with the other rich kids there. I had to study hard in order to maintain the scholarship because if I loose it I wouldn't know how my dream will come to pass.
I was in my final year at Royal high college and waiting forward to graduate and finally secure a job. Some few months to the final exams a new students came to join us of course a Rich one who had to leave United States to join us here because of how spoilt he was , his father thought it was wise to fly him down to Lagos to finish his studies and also learn a little culture . Melvin was his name and he was every girl's dream guy, he had the looks and the height and also he was very rich and one could tell from his looks. He entered the class and got introduced to us by the teacher as Mr. Melvin Gates. We welcomed him and he was shown his seat which was literally next to mine . He sat down and said a "hello" to me and tried to ask of my name but I quickly ignored him, this gave him an impression that I'm a rude spoilt rich kid with an attitude and he was very ready to deal with that .
Class began and every minute I would catch this boy staring at me that really made me uncomfortable because I didn't want Trouble from those rich kids I always stayed in my lane hoping to graduate soon and leave that hell of an institution. Soon the bell rang for break and I was heading out before he blocked me and said "I asked of your name " and I told him that I didn't want to tell you that was why I ignored you but since you want to know I'm Amaya and you're blocking my way to the cafeteria. " A nice name for an arrogant girl "he said.
I didn't mind this words and left to the cafeteria but on my way he stretched his legs and I tripped to the ground and the students started laughing, I really felt humiliated and left .
The only girl I was friends with that's Camila, came to sit by me at the table and said sorry for what happen. I told her it wasn't her fault and we shouldn't talk about that . He's just a spoilt kid filled with pride I said and we burst into laughter . It wasn't even funny but the mere sight of him after i said that got us laughing. Camila was the only friend I had in the school and she was more like a sister to me, though she was rich she was never bothered with making friends from low social status. She wasn't perfect, she also had her flaws little did I knew she will hurt me in the future.
Melvin asked what was funny and we stood up and left him there. Later the only guy I like in school came to me for tuition since it was almost closing we had a session and I called it a day. Got home tired and papa asked me to prepare the evening meal. I finished that and we sat down to eat dinner and papa asked me about how my day went in school and I told nothing happened just a hectic day in school with lots of assignments to complete . Papa told me finish hard and make the family proud and as for my brother he just wish he strive with his found family , at this point tears pricked from my eyes and I wiped them off not wanting papa to see it . After dinner I left to my room , the room that previously belong to me and my brother and sat down to learn for a few seconds and said a prayer and slept . While sleeping I had a dream and in the dream the guy I liked, Oliver came to me and Kissed me and after he said thank you for everything and I was about to utter a word and I was woken by the crows of the neighbor's cock .
At this point I was puzzled , why will Oliver kissed me ... little did I know that something was about to spark between us . I got to school as early as I could and when I got to the school I bumped into Oliver and he said it good I've seen you this morning I have something to tell you . My heart skipped a beat curiously waiting for him to voice out what he has to say .
"Can we go and sit at the summer hat over there and talk " he said . I nodded and we went to sit there and he started to talk " Amaya , there is something I've been wanting to tell you , mmm the thing is ever since you started tutoring me I've had a good stare at you and it dawn on me that I like you, probably it could be that I rather love you but I couldn't tell you this because I thought you will turn me down or something since you're so focused on your books ,yet I couldn't stop myself from telling you this "he said . I was dumbfounded at the spot I couldn't find my tongue to speak. " Amaya just say something don't leave me hanging like this , I also want to know how you feel about me " he added. I finally found my voice and uttered a few words I told him that for sometime now I've also had hidden feelings for you but I can't just come up to you and tell you this I didn't have the courage and since you've told me this I don't know how to express my self. The thing is I also like you " I said and looked away shyly . Oliver smiled calmly at me, at this point I thought he had what he wished for , I also thought I was too quick to tell him how I feel but what needs to be said has already been said and there is nothing I could do now . Oliver now asked me "will you be my girlfriend then ". I didn't really know how to respond to this because I didn't want any distractions towards the goal I was working hard to achieve and also thought it was too quick for him to ask that but however in the this case I also love Oliver. I told him I will think about that and he told me there is nothing there to think about because I also liked him but I still insisted I had to think about it so he gave me some time to do so and he expected his answer the next day. He planted a kiss on my cheeks and left saying Tomorrow is just a day away.
As I was heading to class after I had that chat with Oliver I pumped into the new kid, Melvin, who lowered his head to say a good morning to me with some wicked smile on his face. This really creeped me out because I wasn't looking for any trouble from a person with high influence on the school. I muttered a low good morning trying to escape any conversation that might come up after that . Melvin held me by the hand and told me I will regret ever meeting him in my life, I laughed and asked him to let go of my hand and I left to the class. Melvin walked in next and sat close to me since he was my sitting partner for now , classes proceeded and soon it was time to go home. The day went too fast for me I thought but was it because I still haven't made a decision yet , well let's see what Happens tomorrow .
I got home as usual very tired and stressed from school work, I took a bath and prepared the evening's meal and went straight to bed after eating thinking of what to say the next day .
