It was 4 in the afternoon, Katrina was reading her bible on her bed like she usually does on Sundays and found some controversial text, she looked it up online and also found other controversial text in the bible, she then asked her mom to explain what it meant

Katrina: mummy can you explain some things in the bible [standing with her bible, with highlighted bible text]

Mum: like what honey[ Katrina opening to one of the highlighted text

Katrina: it says women are meant to keep quiet in church, was that mean [ Temitope grabbed her bible and looked at the text]

Mum: it means to the people of that church and at that time

Katrina : so why is it in the bible

Mum: we dont know why but god has a reason for doing [ she looked at the order highlighted verses, she was lost for words]

Katrina: can you explained the other highlighted verses

Mum: sorry I cant all I know is god has a reason why[never read the bible only knows popular stories and verses]

Katrina: ok mum [ she took her bible back and went back to her room ]

Both Katrina and Temitope began to question their religion and their faith in god began to wither slowly

Monday morning, 8:20

Katrina was nervous for her first day in school, she had already made two friends before school started, she entered the school, it was just like she saw on tv lockers on the hallways, classmates running up and down, but what caught her notice was her friend Ashley

Ashley why are you crying

Ashley: my mom called me a disgrace to her family[Katrina gives tissue to her}

Me: why

Ashley: because I embarrassed her in front of her friends in the mall

Me: she didn't have to say that to you

Ashley: my parents say it to me all the time because my older sister try to protect from rapists while protecting me she got raped and died from it

Me : oh sorry if you need any help you can call me ok

Ashley : thanks for being my friend

6 hours later, she was done with her classes, she talked with her friends, exchange numbers and home addresses, then walked back to her house, after opening the door she heard screams and shouts

Mom: [ angrily] we are leaving this house

Me: [worried]why

Mom: because your father cheated on me and got someone else pregnant

Me: [shouting] today was my first day of school and I liked it why do we have to move [crying]

My mum : don't cry sweetie me

she called her friends once she stopped crying, both Ashley and riley comforted her, they promised each other they will all be the same college and we video call every Saturday night
