My Awesome Twisted Life

All my life,I had never known who my dad was because I never bothered to ask my mum.Don't get me wrong,it bothered me but I never gathered up the courage to ask.My name is JoAnne Tashley Mwikali.My mother is Kenyan and even though I didn't know who my father was,I knew he was white.I could tell by my really fair skin complexion and dark brown naturally soft curly hair as compared to my mum who had African features.My eyes were hazel-nut coloured.We weren't exactly rich but we were comfortable.I couldn't complain.Of late,my mum had been quite busy and most of the time I would be left alone which I didn't mind at all.We lived in Lang'ata in our 4-bedroomed mansion even though we were only two of us living in that house.I am 17years old and in my third year of high school at Parklands Arya.It was an all girls school which I didn't mind and it was a half-boarding half-dayschool.I couldn't bear to sleep a day away from my mum so i was a dayscholar.For some reason that I didn't understand,I was popular at my school.I guess it was because I was a crossbreed or as we liked to call it,a pointee.That was a sheng word for half African half American.Sheng was a corrupted version of a mixture of English and Swahili.My bestfriend was called Jowey Dammah but I liked calling her Dee.Dee and I had grown up together and our mums were bestfriends so that automatically brought us close.Dee was the only person I could tell my secrets to and not worry about another soul finding out.She was the best and I loved her so much.We also went to the same school and she was my deskmate in class.People at school envied our friendship.It was like we were joined at the hip,figuratively speaking.Wherever I was,Dee was there and vice versa.

I had woken up feeling strange as if I expected something to happen.I feared these feelings of mine because most of the time something would actually happen.I checked my watch and oh shit!I was two hours late for school!Two freaking hours late!I would so get it from the discipline mistress who for some reason had something against me.Why the hell didn't my mother wake me up?I thought to myself.Then as if on cue,she barged into my room.

"Goodness mum,why didn't you wake me up early?"I asked her trying to slip into my uniform as fast as I could.

"Goodmorning to you too,"my mother answered sarcastically.

"Sorry mum,morning,"I said to her.

"Well you won't be going to school today.There's something we need to talk about,"my mother stated."See you downstairs in a few."and just like that,she left my room.That was weird.I didn't have a good feeling about this.For the first time in years,my mum looked worried about telling me whatever it was that she wanted to tell me.
