PHEBE

Chapter seven.

          PHEBE'S POV.
I woke up to the vigorous sound my alarm was making. Much as I wanted to dive back to lala land, but knew best not to because my step mom had already made up a routine for me and made it clear that I had to strictly and strictly follow it.

I had to wake up by 3:00 o'clock and do house chores, prepare breakfast and do both her and Tiana's laundry before having time for myself.

I scurried into the kitchen, did whatever had to be done, headed to the laundry and in a thrice, I was done.
Rushed back to my room and made sure everything was in its rightful position before heading to the bathroom to take off the first layer of my skin.
In no time I was done and ready for school.

I rushed to the kitchen to bid Mrs. Flora and also get something to eat.

"Good morning ma." I greeted her whilst bending down a bit.
Yes, I am an African.😊

"Good morning my child, how was your night dear?" she replied with concern laced in her voice.

"It was fine ma, just missed you though." I cooed with a sheepish smile on my lips.

"Awwwn, missed you too, now have your breakfast and rush to school dear. I don't want you to be late." she said.

"Aye aye captain." I said whilst diving into my bread and tea.
In a thrice, I was done and hugged the only person that shows love and concern to me before stomping out of the house. I marched majestically to school while replaying the events that happened the day before and I had a smirk on my lips.

I was still in my reverie when I saw one of Dad's cars by passing and saw Tiana seated inside while pressing away on her phone.

I felt rage and fury but what could I do?.
If only Dad knew that his biological duaughter always trekked to school while his chemical duaghter was driven to school.
If only something like that exists.

I kept moving until I made a stop at the school gate to sign in before heading to the class where my cuties were seated. They were so engrossed in whatever they were gisting that they didn't even recognize me.

I moved slowly and placed my tiny fingers on both their eyes. They were startled and I swear,
I tried very hard to hold back my laughters due to the gestures on their faces.

"Umh, I guess this is my one and only savage friend Phebe. " Phillip cooed. I muttered
Caught in the act under my breath before removing my hands.

"How did you know it was me huh? I asked feigning a serious look on my face.

"I have my ways." Phillip answered whilst winking at me.

"Young man, please don't try that again with your garden egged eyes." Grace spat and this made us erupt into fists of laughter.

"l am heart broken." Phillip mumbled feigning a hurt look and placing his hand on his chest.

"We're heart mended." Grace and I reply in unison.

"Anyways you guys are the best" Phillip cooed whilst pulling us into a bear hug.

The class suddenly became as quite as a grave yard and we snapped our heads at the direction only to see Tiana entering into the class with the other girls that approached me yesterday.
They all threw daggers at me before heading to their seats besides the boys who hadn't arrived.

"How did that new girl join Blessy's squad?" Grace asked staring at us.

"How on earth would we know and why is she looking at you like you stole her plot of land." Phillip asked whilst turning and facing me.

I didn't want anyone to know about my family issues but I feel I can trust my two cuties. And moreover telling them she was my step sister won't hurt.

"She is my chemical sister." I replied with a smile. The two started laughing and I joined in.

"Which is chemical sister?, in my fifteen years of existence, I have never heard anything like that." Grace managed to say in between her laughters.
Phillip clutched his belly and still continued putting out his thirty two dentition.

"You will make me die one of these days, like seriously you don't cease to amuse me so whats chemical sister?" he arched his brows at me expecting an explanation.

"Okay, I just don't want to bother you guys with my quagmires and besides these are personal issues but then you guys have been my next of kins and you have loved me for who I am so, I guess I can trust you with this. I kept mute for sometime before telling them a snippet about Tiana leaving out all the other information about what I was facing at home.

They all stared at me and before I knew it, I was engulfed in a bone crushing hug. We were interupted by silence again but this time a tall, cute lady entered the class and we all scurried to our seats.
We greeted her and I found out that she was our English teacher.
The lesson was half gone when that so called Patrick and his friends entered the class and settled at their seats.

His eyes were stuck on me and so I decided to send him a note. I knew that would make him look at me again so I winked at him with a smirk on my lips. He hissed but I just smiled.
The period was all lively until the bell for break was rang.

"Hey, lets hurry up so we come back and do some revision before the next class begins." Grace said and with that we made for the teens. I was carried away by what we were discussing that I did not notice where I was going so I bumbed into a wall and hit my head on something warm.

I made to regain myself when I felt some ice cold liquid on my body and it dawned on me that I bumped into Patrick and he was emptying the contents of his coca cola on my shirt and stepping on my toes with his shoes, smashing them like some sort of object.
I winced in pain and glared at him with fury.
I think this guy had to be a baby elephant because his toes really weighed alot, the pain I am in now is just something else.

"Thats for bitting more than you can chew." he and his friends marched away leaving me in the mess. Phillip and Grace helped me up but tears were streaming down my cheeks due to the pain and if at all the stains were unremovable, I knew I wouldn't get a new pair.

Phillip rushed back to the class and got me his cardigan since we were not putting on blazers and Grace pulled out a white handkerchief and cleaned my tears. I felt better but my toes were still aching.

"Sorry for that just don't ruin your cute face by crying." Grace mumbled and I smiled at her whilst pulling them into a hug.

"Thanks my babies, love you guys." I said in a sing song voice and with that we headed back to class  but I was now limping.
I found out my bag and books were missing. We tried searching for them but to no avail I chilled cause the next class was due in ten minutes so Phillip offered me a new book and Grace a pen so we headed to the physics lab for a practical.

Hey guys😍
Hope your enjoying.
