I Am In Love With My Ex [ Unedited]√

Chapter 1 -Happy resumption

I woke up when I heard the sound of my alarm, getting up from my bed, I stretched lazily. The holiday was finally over, that means early to bed or not, you still have to wake up early. I looked at my wall clock, it was just six thirty a.m. I was still early and my stomach was growling; sign that I was famished. I didn't eat my dinner last night and anything I get hold of will do alright.

Without making any sound, I tiptoed to our kitchen making sure no one heard the sound of my feet. I was walking as careful as I could, at the same time looking from my right to my left, just to make sure no one was secretly watching me especially my mother, she was an early riser. I was in no mood for morning lectures from my mother, and that is just what I am trying so hard to avoid by tiptoeing.

I opened the kitchen door as slow as I can, just to make sure it doesn't make any noise or wake others that were asleep.

I looked through the Kitchen cabinet where mother keeps some side dishes.

Empty.

I went to the fridge. Searching through it as quiet as I could. I found an apple, that will do for now. I took the apple, as I was about to eat it, suddenly I heard a voice.

" Susan, don't you think it's too early for that." I murmured, making all sort of face. All this while my face was hidden by the owner of the voice.

Although I can't see the person, I would recognise the voice anywhere. I try my best not to stomp my feet on the floor.

I was been careful, what could have happened? I questioned myself. This was truly annoying.

Turning around to face my mother; one hand on her hips and the other at her side, while she was tapping her feet on the ground. As if she was in a hurry to get somewhere.

I smiled slowly, even if it wasn't from my heart. Dropping the apple back inside the fridge. I made a mental note to come back for the apple. I just love apples.

My mother was watching my every step like a hawk. After dropping the apple, I stood there like a robot waiting for a command.

"Don't you have to prepare for school. Are you going to stand there staring at me?" I stood there dumb. I wanted to say something but I couldn't. That is so unlike my mother; she would have to lecture me on how bad it was eating first in the morning.

I guess luck was on my side.

I walked as fast as I could before mother changes her mind.

Running to my room. I danced as I moved to the bathroom. Finally, I was a senior. The school was going to be interesting, can't wait to get dress. I have always wanted to be a senior, finishing my high school so I could finally have freedom; that involves living alone at the university. No parents monitoring my movement.

After my bath, I dressed in my school uniform; short purple skirt, stopping exactly at my knee. I was not like those girls that reveal too much. I wore my white long sleeve shirt, with my purple tie. Putting on my black socks and my black shoe.

I checked myself in the mirror.

Yes! This will do.

I was 17 and I was rocking. I ran straight to the dining room, I was still famished and I can't wait to have a taste of my mum's delicious meal. That would be one of the things I would miss after going to the university.

After peacefully eating a bowl of beans and plantain. I said goodbye to my mom, dad was still asleep, I guess and I was not ready to wake him up. I was the only child, so no siblings. Though it was sometimes boring to be alone at home. But it also had some advantages.
