laid vertically on my bed sobbing softly till 9pm,I pulled my phone to my self and dialed vikky's number, she picked on the second ring,
"hello vikky"I cried.
"Rach what's the problem? It seems like your crying I sat upright on the bed and leaned my back on the wall
"vikky their taking me away, far from here, far from church, and far from you my only friend."
"What does that mean Rach? Where are you going to and who's taking you there"I noticed vikky's straight tone apparently she hates the subject.
"dad is taking me to the rehab at united states of America to recreat me at the school of resurrection" vikky screamed over the phone.
"but you hate flights? And you didn't apply for the school of resurrection, last time I checked you applied for unical so what happened?"
"I failed jamb vikky I failed it again, my family drugged me and I wouldn't even know when am at the airport because the duration of the drug is for 24 hours which becomes active at 7 am in the morning and my flight is by 8:30 they already have a fake doctors report that proves am ill so no one would question my constant sleep at the airport and on the plane".
"Holly jesus,Rach this is terrible and when are you going to come back for holidays or are you never coming back at all?" Vikky asked sadly.
"vikky I will be back in a month's time, just help me tell brother josh that am out of town but would be back in a month's time, I will miss you so much,apparently the school is a boarding school and cell phones are restricted,so we wouldn't communicate untill am back"vikky sobbed a bit over the phone,wished me a safe trip,and the final goodbyes were said.

Not so sure of what was happening,dizziness still strucked firm, my eye balls were weak and tired I managed to help my eyes by using my hands to open them but it was all blur,the picture wasn't so clear ,but I could feel the softness of what I laid on, maybe it was a bed,a very soft one at that.I rolled on it back and forth to see if it helped me regain a little consciousness,but no it failed,instead it made me more tired and weak
"I give up"I sighed and my eyes remained closed.few minutes later I felt a tap on my back, It takes me few seconds to respond to it attentively,I laid sideways in other to properly accomodate the person sitting on the bed.
"Rach Rachel love, wake up it's daddy"I rubbed my fingers through my eyes in other to seperate my eyelids from the other and have a clearer view.
"Dad"I called, while I had this blurred picture of him smilling at me.
"Yes Rachel it's dad, can you see me clearly?"I slowly, nod my head back and forth.
"Well,I need you to make your way to the bathroom over there, brush your teeths and have your bath okay then when your done you come downstairs and have breakfast okay?"
hmmm how strange, dad was beign too nice, don't get me wrong but the last time dad did this in my room was 11years ago and then I was 10folks, ten!,well I'd rather do what he says because am pretty hungry right now.He shuts the door behind him as he exited my room, what??no wait, he exited the room because it wasn't my room .The realization of the fact that i was at U.S.A hit me like a bomb.Apparently we were at aunt Nelly's house, my father's elder sister who happens to have no chilld of her own but that didn't terminate the love her husband had for her.well I Jumped off the bed and stared at the beautifully decorated room with purple colour painting which had black music notes written all over it, and a purple coloured wooden wardrope which had glass handles positioned opposite the bed, a large mirror housed in a pink rectangular shape which had a three step pink wooden drawer underneath the mirror, adjacent to the bed. there was a glass table right next to a window, which had a single glass sit .apparently the floor was made out of woods the room was fantastico.distracted by a knock on the door I paused my room touring and decide to go see who it was, guess who?it was my beautiful aunt Nelly who I hadn't seen in ages
"who is this woman that's taken over my little niece's body"
she excliamed.
"aunt Nelly"I screamed and fell into her arms and we vitually embraced ourselves.breaking out off the embrace first,am like
"aunt Nelly I've missed you so much"she smiled adorably at me,while holding my hands and swinging it back and forth
"I've missed you too darling,come here"she said as she expanded her arms for me to fall into another round of embrace.She looked beautiful although she's older than my dad she looked young and sexy for a 50 year old lady " well let's go get breakfast" she said, with a smile that touched her eyes.I quickly followed her down the lovely wooden stairs painted in white untill we got to the dinning room, dad and uncle Joseph sat up at the table taking tea with bread and scrambled eggs."morning dad, morning uncle"I said as I pulled out a sit from the table and sat on it.
"morning my lovely daughter"
uncle joseph said while patting my back.dad just smiled at me.After break fast I, my dad, my aunt and uncle exchanged wonderful pleasantries in other to catch up with old times,afterwards my dad comforts me and advices me before moving to the airport.
And so folks, dad had gone back to Nigeria, living me in a big scarry lonely and cold U.S.A.Aunt Nelly had been instructed to take me to my prison tomorrow,so untill the 31st of may,I'd never see dad, mum, kate, Andrew, aunt Nelly, uncle joseph nor Vikky.and guess what?I've never beign to a boarding school before I guess School of resurrection would be my first.
