            🌻 Ira

"Ira!" A sharp stern voice called out, instantly jerking me out of my sleep.

I groaned, adjusting my eyes to the sunlight streaming in through the windows as our room came into view.

"Mummy good morning" I greeted as I sat up, feeling my sides ache all over because of the hard ground which the thin mat we often sprayed did little to suppress.

"My friend will you hurry up and get ready, the sun's already up and you're there snoring like a lazy goat, don't you know we have to get to the market on time so good customers can patronize us??" She said, dressing up.

I rolled my eyes, murmuring under my breath. Regardless, I got up quickly and began sweeping our room which also served as our kitchen, living room and bedroom. We lived in the poor side of town, aka the ghetto and our house is popularly known as a 'batcha house', a shabby looking wooden house but this is what mum and I could afford.

Our room had nothing but our mat (our bed), a lantern, our clothes folded in the popular 'ghana-must-go' bags, our stove and 2 pots and few kitchen utensils pushed at another corner of the room.

Life has been so hard on us and we have been struggling in poverty because mum had me out of wedlock and the man responsible denied it and fled so she had to raise me up all on her own. I don't even know why but I always feel that's the reason why mum often resents me so much. I to had to drop out of school at 13 because of no money and started helping mum out at the market, hawking her wares.

I didn't really care, I'm just seeking for a better life for myself. Now I'm 16 years old and I yearn for nothing more than a better life for myself. Sadly I don't even know how I want to achieve that.

After sweeping inside I proceeded to sweep outside as well, there I saw Evan, one of our neighbor who I have been crushing on.

"Good morning" I greeted

"Pretty Ira! How're you doing today?" He called out, flashing me his pearly whites making me blush. He looked so handsome and was dressed in a smart tee shirt and jeans trousers with Nike shoes.

"Fine thank you" I said, he nodded still flashing me his cute smile.

"That's good, I have to go to work now, take care okay?" He said and I smiled.

"Okay bye"

"Bye beautiful princess" he winked as he walked away, I blushed even more. He look so handsome, tall, fair and stunning. Plus he dressed so nice, I often wonder why he lives in an environment so poor like ours, he looks like he can afford a better apartment.

After watching his figure disappear into the distance, I turned back only to be met with an angry looking mum.

"You this silly girl, I told you to hurry up and get ready but here you are blushing and talking with man instead of getting prepared for the busy day ahead. I can see that you are now hungry for bad thing, common will you hurry and sweep that place fast before I get angry... Mtcheeeww nonsense" she hissed and she stormed back inside.

I rolled my eyes and swept quickly, afterwards hurrying to have my bath as we began heading to the market.
