¤Episode 9.
I saw uchenna standing close to me with his note stretching them forward to Isabella, I felt really
bad I don’t know why I feel thatway, but it really hurt me. Isabella stare at him in a disdainful
expression while he stood amicably pleading with her to accept them and Isabella slowly collected
the Note from her which trigger a bright smile on uchenna face .the Next thing That follow shock
the whole class,Isabella threw all the note out of the window and they scattered in our class
corridor while uchenna stood with his mouth open ajar staring at Isabella with a shock expression.
“get out of my side you idiot”.
She fired and uchenna slowly went out to pick his Note while the class went into total uproar
laughing and mocking uchenna and I felt bad for him.
“now give me your note”she commanded and I slowly handed my notes to her and she set down
drafting the Note to her own.
Isabella completed the Note and she handed mine to me,i tried to gather the courage to ask for
hers,but all effort to do that prove vertile,am always outspoken I don’t just fathom why am scared
and ashame when it comes To things relating to Isabella.just then the free period passby and teachers started trouping in again.we became occupy with teaching till the closing bell was rang
and I breath in relieve.i join the troup of students going home for the day,matching bare footed on
the hot crunching Sun which trigger laughter in them but I did not care,my only sole aim is to get
Home quick cos the worm in my stomach are already fighting mortal Kombat inside me. About 90
percent of the students were going home in cars while the remaining 10 percent including me were
treking Home but non was bare footed and Bagless unlike me. I sighted Isabella entering the pink
Lamborghini and I smile while the driver drove pass me in haste and I continue my 45 Minute walk
alone without a Friend but foes.

I could not see my mum in her kiosk when I got home though, so I slowly enter our compound
which was surrounded by a fence built by the owner just to surround his Land. I quickly raised the
stone where My Mum always drop the key to the house and I saw a piece of paper with the Key
under the Stone.yeah that is how my mom always left a message for me when she is going out.i
glance at the note and find out That she had gone to the market to purchase some food stuff and
my food is inside the house,i quickly slot the lock opener into the padlock and I entered the parlor.
I pulled my uniform and I wash them drying them in the compound rope that was tied close to the
fence then I enter our room to meet my favourite afternoon delicacy (garri, kuli kuli (German cake)
and two cold pure water)arranged on the table and I quickly sat down devouring them like an
hungry lion.i finish my meal in a Jiffy and I wore my blue short and a blue handless shirt to match
and I wore my slippers which I left under the table in the morning.for those that are insisting on
knowing the reason why am going to school bare footed,prestigious kings academy unlike my
former school have there own set of bag and shoes with the school badge attached to them and
they can only be purchase in the school.the amount for the shoe alone is fifteen thousand and the
bag is twelve thousand.any other shoe and bag will be seized by the school prefects.I drafted a
note to inform my mom of were I have gone to and I place Under the Stone along with the house
key then I went out heading to my business of the day.
