Get up already! You're getting late for school" that sweet voice made me smile but i kept on pretending asleep "This is the last time get up.Okay no problem sleep as much as you want to,it's 8: 10 and you're late,no matter how fast you'll get ready you wont make it in time" hearing this my smile vanished,eyes popped with shock I jumped out of my bed, mom was already gone.Looking onto the clock hanging on the front wall I understood the prank "Ah such a fool iam".It was Monday, I was superexcited cause I'd been preparing since weeks,here it was science exhibition day and my project had been selected from school,competition was tough but I was hopeful.

After taking bath and dressing formally up i ran downstairs "MOM" i shouted "This is not fair,you fooled me" "Honey this is completely fair and one minute how can someone make you fool when you already are?" mum replied laughing while dad busy in making breakfast accompanied her."Dad instead supporting me you're laughing" making an innocent face i asked."Honey leave it come have some breakfast your schoolbus will be here any time soon,look what i've cooked for you" Dad tried to calm me down "oh Dad you're the best and you make the best omelette in the world I LOVE YOU"looking at the omelette I jumped towards dad screaming."HAHAHAHAH girl watch out" dad keeping me from falling said,mom was smiling looking at her little world.The school van came and i went to school with eagerness.

I can't understand why people are so bad,yes they are.... my day started with high hopes,how sanguine I was thinking about my competition, the whole journey to school.The fear of Meddy's group was lost somewhere but as soon as I entered the school I was brought back to reality by that pat on my shoulder I looked back with fright on my face praying "God please not again" but that laughter had my prayer unanswered.Why am I always been made fun of....why people can't let me live...this group had been bullying me for 2 years now....Sometimes throwing water on me in front of everyone,other times any of them hindering my way by their foot having me tremble to the ground....They did this yesterday and the food I was carrying was on the floor under me with all my fellows laughing....That was so humiliating I couldn't stop my tears and I didn't knew what they were up to this time until they started pushing me on one another,students started gathering around us,laughing as they understood what's happening.I had tears rolling down my cheeks being helpless....asking God can't he see what's going on.....Miss Jennifer who was passing by saw what's happening and ran to my rescue,took the paper off my shoulder which had "push" written on it...
Later the bullies were called by principal and suspended for a week from school....I knew they'll be doing this even after but at least I'll have a week of relief...

With all the chaos of the day,the project competition's tension faded somewhere.It was off time when i was called in principal's office,I was hell nervous cause all teachers had their eyes over me.I stepped in with pounding heart,shaking legs and sweaty hands fearing of what might be the nature of news i'll be told until in front of all teachers my principal smiled and put forward her hand with words i could never forget in my life:"congratulations Miss me for being second in science fare i was jumping out of my shoes imagining the amount of happiness it will bring to my sick mother's face and how proud my father will be after a rough and tough day at work.The day in which i was given wounds to cry on ended up with bandage of this news over it.God has listened to all,I understood that,He rewarded me in a different way.Yes He gave me the reward of patience,of the pain i endured,i had my faith strengthened over Him with.I moved out of office,headed towards home thinking of how will i spend my prize money...

I am the only child of my parents therefore has been raised with so much love and affection.My father who works as a waiter in an ordinary restaurant makes sure to buy me the best he could with that limited salary and my mom takes care of home to the extent she can with deteriorated health,she wanted to do job but her health never allowed her to do so.There's one thing i hate and that is my parents hiding all of there problems from me they always put on a big smile on their face pretending to be fresh but what they cant cover is the worry in their eyes...I,on last Sunday wrote a secret letter to God telling him all the problem my parents were hiding from me and dropped it in the church privately.Now I know the problem will be solved once God will get through it.
