Depressed

Chapter 15

  I heard a knock at the door,I opened,it was Austin,he was smiling at me.I couldn't resist so i had to smile back.
My Mom came out to see me at the door.
She was looking at me puzzled.
She asked who was i smiling at?. I told her Austin, she said she can't see him.
I told Austin to come inside so that Mom can see him,but he shook his head giving me a No sign. My Mom was about closing the door, Austin was going backwards. I shouted at my Mom not too lock the door, Austin is coming inside,I said. She pushed me back and locked the door.... I screamed NO!!!.
AUSTIN IS OUTSIDE!!!..

******
I woke up with sweat all over my body, my bed was soaked.
It was a dream, another one about Austin.

It was Monday,my Mom had gone to work but she prepared breakfast before leaving.I quickly had my bath and ate my food,I wanted to hide the house key somewhere around but then i remembered that my Mom has her own. I took my bag outside the gate and waited for my school bus.

We got to school before 8:00am.
Too early, assembly has not started.
I went upstairs to my class and maintained my 'on my own rule'.

I saw students playing around, some girls were at one corner of the class gisting about Zeeworld and some boys about 'davido and wizkid' who is better.. The gist kept on going....

And then...

"Hey,um..my name is Christopher". A boy said walking towards me.

I know him,he is my classmate.
I have seen him with girls a lot.

I wanted to snub him,but it was rude.He was just being polite.

" Hi".I said but didn't mention my name.

"I noticed you have not talked to anyone since you came here, hope you are ok?". Chris said showing concern.

" Am fine, I just need some time to myself ".I said to Chris.

" Ok... But if you need anybody to talk too....am here..ok "He said standing up.

" Ok..thanks "I said.

" That's true...you didn't tell me your name".Chris said coming back.

"Favour".I said with a low tune.

The day went by so fast.....One class to another and then closing.

But before we closed the principal came to our class to make an announcement.

He wanted to inform us (SS2) class about the ongoing WASSCE enrollment and that if we are interested we should  see the school secretary for details.

I thought about it, my brother wrote WAEC from SS2 and he made 7As.
I remembered my Mom saying i would do thesame but sincerely am not ready.
