Rofiah's POV
Gracey left for Christmas, I was left alone with my thoughts and all, searching for a mini job, I got some offer though and going to a ghetto based on research, creepy, yeah dreaming as a Marine Biologist isn't easy , I just don't want to think about this previous year, it was the worse. Then I thought I was going to be free not knowing what life planned for me,it was so hard, to be friends with Gracey was the worse case, I couldn't trust anyone,no one but Gracey earned mine.
I trust her fully,it scares
She loving cute guys,her believe in giving her body to those who deserves it (though she has only laid with one of her flingss , Bry,the guy from the all purpose nall according to her he was irresistable
Ew, but all in all she's straight she likes who she likes and hate those she hates

Marion's POV
The weekend has been good, and fun filled
"Dude two weeks is quite a bit of time" Bry whyned
*I'm trying you know?"
"Okay, whatever"
"I'll just have to ask Me. Keels to get me every of her details, simple*I boasted
"Ew,dude no, you do this without any anybody's help"
"Okay, when is your fling coming?"
"Which if 'em?*
"The creep's friend"
"Oh,Gracey,bah, she's not a fling, I like her"he said smiling
"What? you're so whipped
"Nah, but Nigerian girls are pretty ya know, and she's extra pretty"he chuckled
"Ew,when is our car coming in, remember no fancy car"
"Yo, your mom informed Me keels,he said he bought a Lexus 330 and 350, you should choose"
"Lexus?"
"Yep"he said popping the 'P'
"We should go and check both out before you classes"
__________
I went for a sleek Lexus 330,Bry went for the 350 , I love the car,Class was pretty boring, with Professor Salakor"s scribbling and scrolling and also me getting checked out by girls, I wished Bry was there
Driving through the schools Pizza and Coffee"s hut I spotted her,The creep
Aiye, she's not that pretty, she's hideous, but I want the camera, it's ancient for fucks sake
Aiye, she's not even my one night stand's type not to talk of my previous girlfriends
I go for the prettiest,hottest even though I don't flaunt my wealth,the looks speaks for itself
Where's she?
Aisha, she's gone, she's indeed hideous
I entered the shop , bought the pizza and left
That's Christmas for Bry and I
I don't want mom calling and ordering me to spend my Christmas with Keels
Thank Goodness she allowed me to live outside the campus
She's been all eyes since Granny's death
________
"Um, thanks so much for saving me,Rofia"I said in relief to the cute little boy before me
"Andrew,stop staring this place is not safe, I saved you because I once helped the big guy" he said rolling his eyes
"Aw, how old are you?"I asked
"5 soon to 6, why?"he raised an eyebrow
"Um, don't judge me for my questions please"
"Sure"
"Why are you hanging out here and not in school?"
"Um, that's really sensitive, my parents died in an auto crash, I was rescued by Mrs Macy,the woman I stay with here in the ghetto" he replied
"I'm so sorry, you went through that, do you get to go to school?"
"Nope, I steal her son's books to read and write,no one believed that I'm just almost six, I learnt that my parents are some great geniuses before their death,but it hurts not to have a mummy"he broke down
"I'm so sorry honey, I can be your mummy"I blurted out
*Really?you can?Mrs Macy has been trying to get me a home, you know?"
"I should speak to her"
"You?How old are you,huh?"Mrs Macy asked menacingly
"I'll be 19 in 2 month and a half, but trust, I can be a good mother, I will be one"
"Uh, whatever,the boy's such a loser anyway"she scoffed
After going through her so called orphanage procedures which didn't require much effort
Is this right, I met Andrew just today, I adopted him just tday
I didn't inform Gracey before deciding
Am I on the right path?
How can I take care of myself and my son?
