setting ablaze ( a queen is born)

drop the bomb

Amara was almost done going through  all the piles  of papers   on her desk.  Suddenly, a knock  comes on the door. "Come in!". " erm! The principle from your brother's school called and...."before   she even finished  her sentence.  Amara's  phone starts  to vibrate. She lifts her finger  to her lips and then answers the phone. " sisi, please  can you come and pick me up from school?"
"What did you do now, I hope you  didn't beat up anyone again."  She said in an annoyed tone. She left to go pick  him up, but not before  telling  her assistant  to cancel  all her meetings  for the rest  of the day, knowing  that she would be at the school  for long. Only  God knows  what her brother had gotten himself  into.

She got  down from the car and made her way towards  the principles office. Many people  gave her way to pass, scared  that they might lose their  heads if they crossed her. She didn't  even  knock before  she barged into the school. " aah!, good afternoon  miss....."
" Let's  skip the formalities, Mr Peters . Why did you call my office?"
"Well then, your brother  destroyed  school property in a fire again,  I'm  afraid  this is the last straw . As you know , our sch...."
"Save me the speech,  can't  I  just pay for the damage  caused?"  She stated while rubbing her temple.
" Unfortunately, this time, there's  nothing  I  can do. Your brother  has been expelled  from the school. "
"Have a nice day...."BANG! the school  of the door shook the school.  Amara's anger was over the roof. Smoke  was coming out of her ears.
"Look, sisi, it was a mistake....."
"Save it, do you that  I  was in the middle  of something before  you decided  to pull this nonsense . This is the third school  in just six months. Do you want to be home schooled?"
"I'm  sorry," he whispered . "It's  okay. The damage is already  done. You better  think of a way you are going to tell mom."
As soon as those  words  left  her mouth, a wave of realization washed over him. His mom and grandad  may not take the news as chill as his sisi. He needed  her help to try and convince  them not to hurt him. For all he knew, they  could try and take away all is computers and other gadgets.  The thought alone was enough  to give him a danm  heart attack.  Turning  his head slowly  toward his sister  in the hopes of redemption. "No, you deal with this one yourself. you're created it so you fix it. Plus I  would really like to see you suffer in the hands of mom. "
"You are so mean, please, they would feed me to the dogs, I'd  do anything  you want."
"Fine, but I'll  hold you to that favour,"
I knew you wouldn't let your  only brother  die. " As soon those words left his mouth,her grip on the steering wheel  tightened.
When they got home, she quickly went to her room, leaving  her brother at the mercy of her mom. Making  her way towards her wardrobe,  she quickly  brought  out the box whis contained  her medication. Popping a pill into her  mouth, she grabbed a bottle of water on the table and drunk it down.  She hated the fact that at the mention of the words 'only brother', the panick attack kicked  in. Her brother  knew nothing, and she was intending to keep it that way, to spare him from the pain and anger.  She didn't  want them anywhere  near him. She prayed she never had to see their faces  again. Only God knew what would happen  if that occurred.
Chuckling  at the silly  thought  as she got up and left the room. She made her way downstairs as a sacrificial lamb for the 'only' brother she had.
