I aced it, just like how Gage and Denise believed I would. I came out 15th position in a class of 30 students and to top it off every one in my family especially my sister became cold towards me. I remember how she yelled at me that afternoon when I came home with  the report card, it was one of the worsts days I hoped to forget .

Today happens to be my first day back in school, because even after all said and done, I still made it to SS2 art all though with a few physical and emotional bruises. Looking at my report card that my sister pasted on the mirror of my room, had a B parallel, a B+ in government and B- in math and English. I sighed said a word of prayer before getting out of bed, i am not going to let my past or my family weigh me down not today.

With that in mind I moved to take my bath and began to get ready for school. Once I was properly dressed I went downstairs to get something to eat,  I saw my sister making pancakes and I decided to greet her, hoping that would put her in a good mood.

" good morning sis. Hmmm that smells so good, can I have some—"

"Don't even think about it dimwit. Do you really think I would give my food to a dump head like you ."

" didnt think so"

I muttered and indirectly agreed to being a dump head. Hmmm, I guess it was too much to ask for her to be in a good mood. She left the kitchen without saying a word and I worked my way into making breakfast for myself. Knowing I didn't have money to buy food at the cafeteria, I decided to make egg sauce using 4 eggs so I could eat it with rice for lunch  and the rest of the egg sauce, I ate with bread for breakfast. While I was having breakfast Mr idowu walked  and before I got the change to speak or even great him he spoke.

"And where— do you think— you're going— dressed like that."

Oh no looks like somebody isn't so sober. How does he get drunk over night.

" good morning sir, hope your night was wonderful."

" shut up!! My night would have been perfect if I didn't have to think of getting a new job to pay for your school fees!"

He screamed at me scaring the shit out of me, I flicked obviously scared out of my wits. How is this happening, why is  this even happening, and why do I always have to be at the receiving end. I didn't even know when a tear escaped my eyes, and then another and before I could stop it they were pouring in like a torrential rain.

" oh for peace sake would you stop crying!! You crying isn't going to make you smarter, your cry isn't going to get you a first position in school, you crying isn't going to fix your dumb brain either!!!!"

He screamed and threw a bottle of water at me. It hit me in the head with so much force, I began to have throbing headache. It was when I saw he was about to reach for a wine glass, that was when all instincts screamed.

RUN!!!

with out thinking twice or looking back i grabbing my bag and dashed out of the house. Good thing my food flask and everything I'll be needing for the first day of school was already packed in my bag. It was indeed a narrow escape because the split seconds I went out the door, I head the sound of the glass cup shattering against the door. I was panting and panicking as I heard his loud voice Thunder

"And stay out! you worthless crap"

I heard him say. My eyes were blurry with tears so I couldn't see where I was going or the fact that I was about to run into a moving car. It was the loud honk of the car that made me realize that I was in the middle of the road and I was about to get hit, that is until I felt a  strong yet rough and tender arms  dragging me out of harms way. He enclosed me in his Arms and I suddenly felt safe, I felt all my worried slip away as my eyes began to drag, slowly loosing its will to stay wide opened.

" it's okay Maddlyen, it's alright... I got you, always."

That was the last thing i heard before sleep took over. I was so lost in never land that I hadn't bothered to see who I was with, to check where I was being carried too or worse what if I was being kidnapped. All that thought were going through my head but I couldn't open my eyes. I just had this sense of peace and security, what's more there was this familiar Cologne that was in the air I couldn't put my finger on who I had smelled it on before.

Hours later I felt something, or rather someone breathing down my neck. I plied my eyes opened to catch a glimpse of someone staring at me. I snapped my eye wide opened immediately and behold there he was smiling widely at me, Gage Macaulay. I chuckled lightly realizing that I had grown accustomed to his Cologne but I couldnt identify it with him because we weren't in school. Speaking of school, my eyes went as wild as a sauce realizing we were supposed to be there learning right now. Before I could open my month to speak he beat me to it saying.

" welcome back to the land of reality."

" where are we? Shouldn't we be in a school?"

He just smiled and shook his head at me, he looked back at the road because he was sitting in the passager sit beside me. When he could feel my cold start on him he looked at me and said.

"We are on three mainland bridge. And if you most know we are heading to a place where you are going to take a breather"

" is it a movie theater?."

I asked ever so innocently as sleep was finding its way back to my eyes. He smiled at me plating a soft kiss on my forhead, oh how I had missed kissing them so deeply. A faint smile appeared on my lips as I was edging closer to never land,  the last statemeant I heard him say was.

" oh a movie theater is far from it. This one will take your breath away Maddlyen, that I can guarantee."
