Authors Note:
So far, so good. I am grateful for all your support and efforts (blah, blah, blah). The POVs of some of the characters are really short or will be short, but I think they're all necessary for the (blah, blah, blah) of the story. And also I want to give a shoutout to @Chimdiuto for basically everything (blah, blah, blah). And am sorry for not sticking to the 900-1000 words I had promised. The chapters are getting long and I don't seem to care.
Also (blah, blah, blah). Lmao
One More Thing, (blah, blah blah). Good luck.
Jerry's POV
"Eduboy go to your room and leave me alone please" This boy is stubborn, mehn!
"One more nah" He persists.
"No!" I shout at him. He's pissing me off now. "I don't have battery can't you see?" I show him the screen of the phone as proof.
"68% hei!, Jeremiah please nah" I guess showing the phone was a bad idea.
"No!"
"Please!"
"Okay, but later" I bury my phone under my pillow and lay on it. "I want to sleep now"
"Hei yah don't watch anyone oo"
"I've heard you, just go biko"
"Promise?"
"You're a dog" He stands up and starts leaving. Finally.
I was discharged from the school's medical center yesterday being Saturday. Well after Jessica left, let's just say my stay there was uneventful except for when Mummy practically forced me to take my drugs. Yeah I hate those and you should've seen the drama it turned out to be.
Well, long story short, I took the dose, painfully might I add, after I received a long sermon on what I had told them about not taking complete dosage of given drugs. Life is an Irony, honestly.
Joy was with me all through. After I had woken up, and she had conveyed my message to Jessica, she didn't leave my side. Talk about my favourite sister. She really kept me company mostly by making fun of me. That girl.
The doctor said I didn't have any serious injury and except for the knockout and bruises here and there, I was fine and that I would be discharged as soon as am able to walk. After which Mummy made me walk and here I am.
After I was discharged, mummy took me to my favourite place, home (my room to be precise). Well I don't go out too often so what do you expect.
Its Sunday and its around two pm. I don't have much to do so I think sleeping doesn't sound bad after all. I know Eduboy is just around the corner to know if I'll really sleep or watch another movie. Yep! That's my brother, unfortunately he's annoying. Trust me, he is.
I bring up my phone from where I buried it to go through my gallery. Its something I do when am bored and don't feel like reading or writing. That proves that I am not a nerd. Hah!
"Jeremiah!" I told you he's around the corner
"What?!" He barges into my room. Okay, WTH.
"You have a visitor"
"I've told you am not going to watc…" I pause and reason. "What?"
"Someone is looking for you" He repeats. Well not really but all the same.
Someone. Am panicking, why?
Someone! 'Oh no!'
"Who?" I ask. Its obvious I already know who but there's no harm in playing dumb. Is there?
