Chapter 19

I opened my eyes but shut it back because of the killer pain in my head.

Uhh.

My head aches like mad. I really don't know why, but it aches terribly, I'm sure it's nothing serious so I'm just going to not tell anyone.

I got up from my bed and lazily walked to my siblings room.

" both of you should wake up " I shouted into their room from the door. Bobo got up but Chika just lay on the, I left the room, knowing that once Bobo is up from bed my work if finished there.

I went to my bathroom, brush my teeth, have my bath, put on a white t-shirt, black jeans and my huge old grey sweater.

I went to my desk pick up my glasses and phone, and then picked my books and stuffed them in my bag.

I ran down the stairs and passed the sitting room were my dad sat.

" Daddy good morning " I greeted walking past him, he nodded his head in acknowledgement of my greeting.

I walked into the kitchen, were my mum stood at the cooker, cooking something in a pot.

" Mummy good morning " I greeted her walking across the kitchen to the refrigerator and opening it.

" Ada, aren't you going to eat before going to school " my mother said turning away from the pot and looked at me. I raised the bottle of water that I took from the fridge looking at her.

" water is okay " I said walking towards the door, just as I reached the door, Bobo ran into the kitchen, almost pushing me down.

" Bobo how many times do I have to tell you to stop running inside the house " my mum scolded, Bobo just shrugged his shoulders and checked around the kitchen for anything edible, his school bag jumping at his bag as he moved.

Bobo is what a I call stubborn, his feet just can't stay in one place, always wanting to be the first person to get downstairs for school, but Chika on the other hand, preferred to take her time in getting herself ready for school not really caring if she was late for school.

" okay I'm going " I said walking out of the kitchen, and then past the sitting room finally reaching the door of my house.

Once I stepped out of the building, I had this feeling, a feeling of... of... not wanting to go to school, why would I even want to go to school when I've got some kind of killer headache, I can't even wear my glasses without getting dizzy, I thought, taking of my glasses and rubbing my eyes.

I put the pair of glasses in its case, and then continued my walk down the sidewalk, to school.

" hi "

I turned my head to my right and saw Summer walking beside me.

" hi "I said in a dull voice. She looked at me concerned.

" what's up with you " she said.

" Summer I told you yesterday to stop talking to me since your now friends " I said walking faster.

" why aren't you friends with Reesha " she asked. I looked her in disbelief.

" so you don't know anything about Reesha and I's enmity " I asked, just to be sure.

" ya sure, I don't know " she said with a plane smile on her face, it soon turned into a look of worry.

" am I supposed to know " she said.

I shook my head " no "

I feel like a really bad person, Summer was just being nice the whole time, and I thought she was doing this for Reesha, I doubt if she has even met Reesha one on one.
