My Monster episode 16 – 17

My Monster

Chapter 16

“Never have you ever cried because of illness” my mom said baffled, dad is away on a business trip, I kept crying when I got home, my body so hot. She is right I’ve never cried because of an illness, but today I cried cause its emotional illness.

“Don’t worry the doctor is on the way” she said and left me in my room, I need to see him that’s the only way I can be cured.

The doctor came and administered some drugs, my mom wanted drip, but he said not yet, that if by tomorrow that am not getting better thenhe will give me the drip.

I slept off since I was so tired, I woke up later at night, I brought out my phone to surf the internet but my data have exhausted, I don’t know to recharge through the bank I just dropped it and put on the TV.

To my greatest surprise, they were showing barbie, fairytopia, I smiled as I watched it. I slept off again after the movie. When I woke up it already 9am. I rushed to the kitchen.

“Mom why didn’t you wake me for school” I said

“I decided to leave you, besides you needed the sleep” she said cutting the carrots.

“What of school” I said, I need to go, what if he is in school.

“I already called them” she said

“But mom”

“No but, go freshen up, breakfast will soon be done” she said and shooed me away. I went to my room very angry, now I wish am a rebellious daughter.

After breakfast I went to my room with pretence of feeling sleepy, I just don’t feel chatty, I got better today but hate the fact I didn’t go to school.

I sent a text to Amina to call me once she get back, so I kept looking at my phone, my entire day was the spent watching barbie.

After what felt like eternity I got a call, from Amina

“Hello girl” she said as I picked up

“Hi” I said

“Didn’t see you in school today”

“Yea, sick day” I said

“Well unfortunately for you, cause you missed a wh0le lot” she said and I sat upright

“What happened” I asked with fear that Eric caused another trouble.

“The reason why Eric hit Kevin was because he heard that you were just a bet to him” she said and I was confused

“Bet to him as in who” I asked

“Bet to Kevin, he had a bet with Kelly to date you when you came newly” she said, I heard some noise, like she is bringing out something from a bag.

“So to him I was just a bet” I asked weakly.

“Yea, it was a junior student that heard it, according to the boy, he saw Kevin and Kelly talking about it in the boys rest room”

“And” am very anxious

“Basically, Eric heard it while the boy was telling his friends about it, he confronted Kevin about it” she took a breath “I don’t know much about it, since it might be rumour, Kevin said its a lie, that Eric attacked him with no provocation”

“Then how come you know of this” I asked, I always know nothing goes past her.

“It Richie, he said Eric told him, and we then asked the boy, basically Eric was able to describe the boy, the boy said its true that he heard them discussing about a girl named Barbara and the bet” she said

“So Eric, wasn’t in school” I asked, non of the thing she said matter but Eric.

“No, still on his punishment” she said and I felt weak, “Funny, Richie kept asking of you, even Amanda asked of you, I think you’re in trouble” she said

“You think so” I said, I guess he must have told them about the k-ss.

“Well get well and come to school, you’re now miss popular” she said chuckling, I scoffed and we said our goodbye.

If he’s mad at me why then did he hit Kevin, or is it for another reason or is the boy wrong, all this am prepared to find out, am definitely not missing school tomorrow.

All eyes was on me immediately I came down from the car, seem am miss popular truthfully, well non of it matters am just here to see my monster. I should stop referring him as mine. I just walked straight to where Amina is and we both head to class, thank God this school don’t have morning assemble like my former school, they only gather for announcement.

Chapter 17.

I watched as the bus arrived and everybody came down except Eric. So my coming was a waste, we all went to class, some of the teachers asked about my health, I was really surprise this school is sure different.

“I don’t know what you heard about me” Eric said sitting behind me, that’s Eric seat, no one have any right to seat there. I stood up and turn to him, I want to eat him up.

“Get up from there” I said I don’t care if I was a bet to him, am angry he cause trouble for Eric and here he is on his seat.

“What” he asked not believing the intonation I used.

“I said get up from that seat” I shouted, I heard gasped from the student, Kevin looked at me in awe, he left the sit back to his own, I stood there gazing at the seat as tears flows, I started sobbing, I miss him, his smile, his dark eyes warm hands I miss him all. I ran of the class to the restroom, I shouldn’t have come today. I was rinsing my face when Amanda entered, we both stare at each other.

“Please how can I see Eric” I asked in rapsy voice, she looked at me with pity, I never knew she could be this soft.

“You are in luck” we get visitors twice in a week, Wednesdays and Fridays, except it’s the Friday we go home.

“Wednesday” I said, thats today’

“Yea today, so why not go home you don’t look fine, then you can visit around 4 pm, I will take you to him” she said. I couldn’t believe my ear, is this really Amanda being nice. I went forward and hugged her.

“Thank you” I said, I felt her shrug but didn’t hug me back, it felt awkward for me

“You know I won’t hug you back, so you can now unwrap your hand” she said, I freed her with a sheepish smile, I think I understands Amanda’s personality, even with all her strong behavior, she’s really warm and soft in,side

“So go home, the school will pardon you since you don’t seem fine” she said, if I go home mom will take the illness serious I won’t even make it to the camp, so I rather endure it.

“Don’t worry, I will manage” am already feeling better with the thought of see him, I left the rest room

“Do you love him” she asked when am nearly at the door, I turned to him.

“With all my heart” I answered, she smiled, and motioned me to go, I left feeling happy. Yet again all that was thought today never entered cause I was busy starring at my watch, I spent our break in our s₱0t, to feel closer to him.

I was so happy when I heard the bell for dismissal. I rushed to Amanda to let her know am coming so she will tell Eric.

“So you’re now in close relationsh¡p with Amanda” Amina asked and just nodded “nice” one thing about Amina is she is just a beautiful happy girl.

“Did you hear what happened” she asked

“What” nothing goes past her,

“Mr Stephenson had a heart attack” she said, I felt bad but I don’t know who he is “so they’re saying his grandson will soon be back, to take over, some say he will leave it for his step son” she said, I have no idea what she’s talking about.

“Oh” I said, am waiting for my driver to come, earlier I get home earlier I can come out, I wonder why he’s not yet here.

“Have you see Junior’s picture before” she asked, I shook my head, “Gaberiella” she called and she came

“Show us juniors pics” she said, Gabriella brought out her phone, I thought its prohibited, I guess some people are just rebellious. She scrolled through her pictures and clicked on the pics.

She passed it to Amina who passed it to me, I wondered why she’s showing me, I took the phone and gazed at the pics. By far he is the most handsome guy I have ever seen. He was leaning on a pillar wearing a blue shirt and a white polo, he seems to be from heaven cause there is no way a mere human can be this handsome.

I stared at his eyes and it looked familiar, it gave me that warmth am so use to, its the same eyes with the boy at Stephenson’s mansion, its also the same with Eric. I froze as the epiphany hits me, I looked at his l-ips its the same, I used my finger to cover his face and its the same.

“Its Eric” I muttered.
Is she right about her assumption ????
