~I Don't feel welcome in this new environment. Was I suppose to?............~

I repeatedly tapped my foot on the tiled floor as each encounter made, responded with a not so beautiful sound. But in all, my foot ached. I was on my new school uniform and ready to leave for school, but I couldn't ignore the nervousness brewing inside of me.

My gaze slowly shifted to the wall clock, and after some minutes on my phone which laid untouched by the side of my bed.

She still has not called

By the She I mean Grace, after yesterday's incident she became quiet sad and distant, which was so odd but I'm sure she will be fine.

Right?

Who am kidding? Her actions yesterday were so unusual and the worst part of it all is that, she's still unwilling to disclose the reason behind such behaviour.

Even at the salon, Grace didn't engage too much in the conversation between, Lara and Chioma. I was expecting Lara to be a bit concerned, but she couldn't care less. Chioma's own was worst, as she behaved so indifferent or rather acted like I and Grace didn't exist.

Then, the three words Lara had shouted at Grace yesterday kept replaying on my mind

"Get Over it"

Which means Lara knows something I'm not aware of.

And just when all my thoughts were rumbling up on what could possibly be the problem, my phone vibrated which was an indication of a notification, and I was right as I had just received a text from Grace on WhatsApp.

Gracy:
Gud morning bestie. Ermm I will be following Lara to school so maybe we can go together some other time.

I was disappointed because I and Grace usually went to school together before GHS scholarship came. But now?

Me:
Okay if you say so, but don't forget you owe me an explanation.

I checked her profile info and she just went offline, leaving my message with two blue checks which meant seen. I really need to confront her as I really miss the former version of Grace.

I switched off my phone as I wasn't intending on taking it along, I picked up my mini school bag and exited my room. Coming out everywhere was as quiet as ever, as Mum had already reported at the main mansion to resume her early morning duties. But never had she forgotten to write me one of her notes filled with advices, and today wasn't an exemption as today's note read :

"Manage the transport fare and also, don't talk to strangers on your way. Don't forget all my advices. And one more thing.......

Mum's notes every morning were always the same but a particular line always picked my interest "...Do your best so you won't end up like me....." With that it was verified within me, that I am sure going to make mum proud.

Or am I ? My subconscious questioned
