I scrutinize my naked body in the mirror. My breasts were small and perky. The areola looked pale, circling a smaller portion of my breasts. The nipples were rigorously sensitive standing erect at an innocent touch or thought. My belly was flat and smooth except for a small scar where I did surgery to remove a rupture appendix.

There was a curve at my waist and I turned sideways in the mirror to make further observations on the deceptive body that housed me. My bottom stood firmly attached, extending out like before curving in like an apple. I didn't possess thick thighs but they were medium and sturdy.

How could a body so beautiful betray me? I tried to train my body to follow my mind's leading, but it proved infertile. As I glance up at my oval face, I noticed my thin lips pouting.

I am 18 years old and it seem nothing has changed. Mama didn't greet me when i left for school. I'm confused as to why I would expect anything different. I prepared my breastfast, left for school thanking God that I would be free from suffering once I get away as far as possible from my mother.

My day was uneventful. My class sang 'happy birthday' for me and Chrissy bought me lunch.

I spend most of my time in class daydreaming, planning and rehearsing the events I thought would happen later. When I got home, mother was not there, but she left me a note, warning me to be home by 11pm and about the 'Rules'.

'Big woman', his voice boomed and starled me. I dropped my bag in fright. It was Michael.

'Jeez, you frighten me enu', I touched me chest, 'almost gimme a heart attack.

'Hush', Michael sat on the sofa, looking thriugh his wallet. 'I know Tanya not here so me stop by to give you your birthday present.

'Really?', I beamed. Michael seem to be the only one I could trust. I rush to him eager for a gift. He pull out a wad of cash and thrust it in my hands.

'For my special step daughter'. He jump to his feet, hugged me then head for the door.

I stood still, looking at the money. I had never seen or held so much in my hands. 'Thank you.

'No prob, just don't spend it all', then he was gone.

I squeal and rush to my room. My prayers seem to finally caught Gods attention. I count it $5000. I stuff it in my bag and rush to shower.
