It is a sunny day and Isla is taking a nap suddenly someone barged into her room.
Isla baby girl wake up, it's was her mother , Mrs hermiston.
"Just leave me alone I want to sleep more "isla said as her mother tried to wake her up.
"Young lady it's either you wake up or I wake you up with a cold water."
"Immediately I heard cold water, I sprang up from the bed .
Cold water where is coldwater I panicked."
Isla seemed perturbed at the mention of cold water it turns out yesterday Mrs hermiston used cold water to wake her up.
"Get up young lady your father is home and it's time for dinner" Mrs hermiston said and left her room
"Ok mum I grumbled under my breath and entered the bathroom to wash my face after I was done, I went downstairs to the dining table ."
"My name is Isla. I'm just 16 years but I finished my senior high School here in Ghana. currently, I'm waiting for admission from the University I applied for and that is kwame nkrumah University of science and technology ."
"I applied for computer science .
I just hope with my current results I'll get into the school because it is one of the most prestigious universities in Ghana."
"Since I'm not in school I've been doing some mischievous deeds in the house lately like doing a a ghost prank on my mum, putting too much chilli sauce in my father's coffee, hahaha ,, I still remember that day when I put chili sauce in my father's coffee the way he was jumping around with his burning tongue was very funny."
"What is funny ", my Dad asked.
"I actually forgot I was sitting at the dinning and I was laughing out loud.
Nothing Dad, I just remembered something funny and I laughed .
I replied
"Are you sure, I hope you are not planning another mischief on us."
"come on dad, how can I plan any mischief on you when mummy cooked such a delicious food for us today."
"Ok".
He replied and continued eating.
After sometime we finished eating and the maid cleared the table.
I made my way to go up stairs to plan another mischief ,,I mean prank on my parents.
" Where do you think you are going young lady ,have you forgotten what today is?" my mum asked when I tried to go upstairs.
"what is today ,,oh my god I forgot. mum am so sorry .
today is family meeting right , come on mum I'm coming.
I will just wash up and come down in a jiffy , I said and made to dash upstairs.
family meeting or whatever it is ,it's so boring oh God...
"Stop right there young lady "
My mum glared at me .
"Okay fine ,I said and went to sit in between them."
"Princess, my dad called "
"I've sat down and thought about it with your mum .
We will send you to London to continue your studies I just want you to grow up because you are going to stay there alone and you will find no one to prank.
So your mum and I are begging you to grow up ,you are no more a kid." Dad said
"Wait what I'm going to London but why I mean I'm happy I'm going but why only me why can't the three of us go together"
"Young lady your father and I cannot leave our work and company and everything and go and accompany you there.
Isla ,you know we don't have time to look after you .
that's the best we could do for you so please, grab this opportunity .
Your air tickets will be out by next week you have to start packing your clothings and please when you are going ,leave all your mischievousness here, don't go with it .
London is not like Ghana, it's not your country, it's someone's country .
this is the only advice I can give to you as your mother, maybe this may be the last time we will talk ,so please take care of yourself for me.
just go there ,finish your education and come back and I know you will make us proud of you"
" Mum , Dad so you knew all along you were sending me to London ?
then why didn't you tell me earlier.
I might be happy to go there but then I'm more happy in my own country. mum, today is Friday and next week is Sunday and I have only tomorrow to pack my clothings ,does that mean I'm leaving on Monday ??
I guess I am,, from the look of your faces .
I'm not sad but can you let me be who I am?
I'm not just going there to prank anyone I see.
mum you know me well, I'm not going to do that ,,,I will do that only to the people I feel safe with and that is both of you but I'll take your advice thank you so much I love you both now I would like to go upstairs and sleep I said ,, and went upstairs."
"I entered the room and I put on music he started playing my favourite song who I am by Annie Marie's ."
As it started I sang along,,
"I'm so stubborn I know
ask my mother she knows
honestly always late all these years not a damn thing changed
I like crying too much
I'm done lyin to you
make mistakes twice a day that's how I made
cause you can love me or hate me nothing's gonna change me
ain't no time to play pretend (no no)
What you see is what you get (no no)
but that's just who I am
If you don't like it I don't give a damn got enough drama I don't need fake friends
but that's just who I am
don't need anyone to understand
if you don't like it I don't give a damn....."
"I paused to drink water as I was shouting extremely loud.
I know my parents will get angry but I think I deserve that chance to make them angry because the next time I won't be here to make them angry...."
"...... Ain't afraid
Cuz you can love me or hate me nothing gonna change me
ain't no time to play pretend (no no) what-you-see-is-what-you-get (no no) but that's just who I am
if you don't like it I don't give a damn got enough drama I don't need fake friends
but that's just who I am
don't need anyone to understand
if you don't like it I don't give a damn but that's just who I am
I am
I am
I am ............"
