Ariel's POV
I felt like picking up the little disturbing object and throwing it against the wall repeatedly till it crashes into pieces. I finally sat up on my bed, stared into space with a conflicted mind as I took the alarm and switched it off.
I picked up my pillow and covered my face with it as I screamed into it. Mondays were my worst days of the week. I had to go and prepare for school and worse still it was the beginning of a new term. The beginning of my final year in high school. Thinking of school alone made me feel like puking.
God knows how much I hated that place but at least it was far better than being at home.
"Ariel....." I heard Aunty Bukky screamed my name like the mad woman she was.
"You this bastard child."She said as I could hear her approaching footsteps.
With speed, I got up and yanked off my night wear with speed and picked up my towel. I ran off to the bathroom, locked the door and turned the shower on, so it could seem like I had started having my bath. I sighed, as I picked up my tooth brush and proceeded in brushing my teeth.
I heard the door open which meant that Aunty Bukky had entered. "My God, this place stinks and look how everything is upside down."She half yelled.
Typical mad woman.
I took a very quick bath, wrapped my towel around my breast area and walked out of the bathroom before Aunty Bukky pulls down the whole building with her screams.
Aunty Bukky stood in front of me, dressed in a black pencil skirt ,a pink chiffon top and a black stiletto boiling with anger. Some one who didn't know her would think she was such a young woman but she was in her late forties. "
Good morning ma"I greeted her as she eyed me wearily.
She clapped her hand dramatically and she laughed out almost to the point of falling off. I stared at her, completely lost and wondering if I should apologize for what I don't know I did or apologize in advance for what I would do in the nearest future.
"What is so good about this morning,hen. No, Ariel please tell me what is making you happy that you feel this morning is a good one. Did your wretched and bastard parents show up in your dreams,hen ?" She said while I bit my bottom lip to stop my self from crying again.
Sometimes I get angry at my self for wanting to cry anytime Aunty Bukky made mention of my dead parents because I was supposed to be used to it by now.
"How many times have I warned you never to leave dishes in the sink overnight and ensure to turn off the lights before you go to bed . Or do you think is your stupid dead parents that is paying for the electricity we are using."
"Aunty, I swear I washed the plates and switched off the lights before I came upstairs or maybe you should ask Uncle Jam....."
Before I complete my statement, Aunty Bukky slapped me hard. I wasn't sure I was hearing anything after that because I stood in front of her with tears clouding my vision as I saw her mouth moving but I couldn't make out what she was saying.
"......................So it's my husband that used the dishes abi . It's obvious that you have gone totally crazy. Anyways, no food for you for the next two days and you get to go to school by yourself, if you like board train or fly, that's none of my business. Also,I want you to come back early today because my clothes and that of my husband's have piled up and I need you to do the laundry before I get back from work."She said while I nodded wiping off the drop of tears that found it way down my cheeks.
"I need you to use your words and not your head."
"Yes ma. I am to do the laundry before you come back "I said while she hissed and walked out.
