Alexis has been nice to me. We are so close that we go to school together,go for lunch break together and even go home together.Well, we have been this way for a month.
"Vanessa, what do you think about studying later?"Alexis asked me after our class teacher Mr Aiden informed us that our periodic test is coming up later this week.
"Okay that will be nice"I answered.
"Okay,we could do it at your favorite coffee shop on your way home"He said.
"That would be okay"I said.
Just then our geography teacher came in and taught us mapping and distances. I was quite a hard topic but with Alexis help I got my way out.
"Alexis,are you ready?"I inquired when I was done arranging my book.
"Yeah,let's go"He answered.
"Okay"I said.
Four hours later,
"Vanessa, where are you coming from this late?"My mother asked me.
"Mom, I am coming from the coffee shop down the street"I replied.
"What were you doing there"She said.
"I was there studying with my classmate because our periodic test is later this week"I said.
"So you came home late because you were reading, Vanessa"She said while beating me."You are expecting me to cook for you and your brother right"She added while she started beating me.
"Mom, please I am sorry, I am sorry"I said pleading with my mom.
After a few minutes of beating,mom stopped beating me and left me crying on the floor. After some minutes,I got up to go freshing up before Dad comes back from work.
"Vanessa, get out from the room before I come get you"Mom said on the top of her voice.
"Mom I am here"I said running out of the room.
"Go prepare some noodles to eat"Mum said to me while I staggered to the kitchen.
Thirty minutes later,
"Vanessa,go serve your father some food"Mom said while I staggered to the kitchen.
"What is wrong with Vanessa's leg?"Dad asked my Mom.
"I beat her cause she went out with a guy and returned home late"Mom replied while I was returning from the kitchen.
"So vanessa you now go around with boys?"He asked.
"No, father"I answered after which I got a slap across my face.
I ran to my room crying and asking myself why everything bad has to happen to me, only me and I think it is better dead than alive.
