SHADOWS

Breaking.

  Waking up on a beautiful sunny Monday morning was a bliss, it was my first day in my senior year to say I was excited was an understatement I was more than excited it was going to be fun but life never gives you good things without consequences right? But what's life without it storms and summer? . I got up from my bed said a prayer and went to get dressed for school I wanted to look presentable so I decided to dress according to the school codes I wore a a red dress shirt, black and white polka dotted belt topped off with my hat on my quite lengthy braids I looked at my reflection in the mirror it looked quite okay so I took my back pack to go downstairs
    'Morning mum'
    'Morning Cece,  you look happy this morning '
    ' yes mum come one it's my first year in senior school why won't I be happy I mean I'd so be out of high school then off to college it's the best I'd wish for ' I said to her as I sat down to eat my waffles. She shook her head and replied saying it's fine and she wishes me well before either left she went to the kitchen area to receive a call she spoke in really hushed tones that I could barely make sense from I wanted to shrug it off as I wanted to be happy today so I kissed her goodbye and headed off to school but what would she be discussing and wouldn't want me to hear, the look on her face when came up to her to kiss her goodbye was not okay it was like she was trying to hide something I couldn't wait to find out anyway I was just extra curious she wasn't one to deal with intense situations but it might not be so serious though with that through I started my journey to school.

 
  Getting to the school gates I tried looking for Blair I knew she won't come early as she would love to come in an extra dramatically manner so I headed off to my locker to get my books for the day it was first day so I wouldn't want to come back to my lockers knowing my classes would be a bit tight , packing up I noticed that the crowds were splitting up a bit to allow someone pass I knew that person would be important but guess what it was Blair! She can in dramatic as usual with her glossy red heels and knee length lace black gown as soon as she sighted me at my locker she screamed  'bestie ' I mean I was happy we hugged but gosh her scream as she closer could set my ear drums ablaze but what is a best friend without drama.
  'Gosh Blair I've missed you so much, how are you ' I asked as I twirled her she was wearing a fancy laced shirt black gown and a red beret leaving her dark wavy hair down, she was one for French dressing codes you may wonder why and here's why she spends most of her holidays with her cousins in Paris ever since she was little so she adores their way of dressing as it differs from the way we in America dress, she was one for a change and not just ordinary change I mean she loves dramatic changes.
  ' you and questions CJ, boo I'm good gosh we have loads of things to talk about ' as usual we always a lot to talk about, we went to class together hand in hand as we chattered away.
  'so tell me how was France'
' my goodness CJ it was boring nothing much '
' B you have to be joking you mean no boys, no drinking and parties ' I asked as I chuckled
' Nah, I told you I've repented a bit come on believe me for once '
' give me prove before either believe you '
' alright Cece call my cousin Lisa she'd tell you every single detail '
' hmmm lies lies come on tell me about the boy or boys you met '
' nah hell no Cheryl we won't talk about my private life till you bribe me and besides you should know the usuals'                                                                          She said with a wide smile plastered on her face like that of Joker's. I shook my head back and laughed
  ' Lord what a best friend '
We laughed a bit and she then told me she got me some things from France meaning we'd head to her place after school I really couldn't wait, we went to our first class late as Blair wouldn't let us walk fast. We got to our first class late and as usual our teacher Mrs Donna gave us a stern look and a small speech on our late coming so we apologised and attended her class.  The rest of the day went well though I and Blair had some classes together and as usual we had lunch, our school cafeteria wasn't so big so we just had drinks and went back to the rest of the classes, the day went by fast and smoothly finally closing I and Blair then headed home I was too exhausted and had loads of assignment so we shifted my visit to the next day.                 On my way home I just wished to get home and go straight to bed as I was just too tired it was just the first day of school but come on! Why would it be so stressful I just imagined what my mum would say if I told her I was exhausted she'd say 'Cheryl you're so lazy come on!! Get up go bath and sleep!' And when I don't listen she'd emphasise on the immediate time saying 'Cheryl this instant '
  Opening the door to my house I met a very bad scenario before me, to say I was shocked was an understatement the sight was something I had locked and buried down in the pits of my heart, I stood there at the entrance frozen, confused, I just couldn't think of what to do the scene was one too deadly and toxic to comprehend I didn't even know if the body before me was lifeless or not or was it..............
