STICK WITH ME

“Mia.. Wake up!” Maria shouted hitting the pillow on my body.

“Leave me.. Leave me” I said pushing her a way from me.

“Today is your first day in school.. do you want to be late?” Maria asked me.

“Oh.. yeah!” I remembered and stood up immediately.

I entered the bathroom. I brushed my teeth quickly. I took my bath immediately. I sat on the chair staring at my face in the mirror.

“So Leo didn’t recognize me or maybe I changed alot this few months?” I asked myself.

?Last night?

“Mia” Leo called me.

“You remember me?” I asked him.

“Yes. Why won’t I? You’ll be a good basketball player” Leo said to me.

I kept looking at him.

“The way you caught the ball was very amazing” Leo complimented me.

“Oh.. Thank you” I replied.

“Are you new to this neighborhood?” He asked me.

“Yes” I replied to him.

“Okay” he said avoiding my face.

“Do you know anyone named Mia in your former school?” I asked him.

“Mia.. Mia” he kept repeating.

His head suddenly started hurting him. he felt uncomfortable.

Leo was gasping for air. He bent down.

“Ahh.. ah” He repeated continuously.

he held his head with his hands.

“Are you okay?” I asked him.

I held him. He didn’t say anything. I don’t even know what to do. I brought out his phone from his pocket. I dailed the first number I saw on the phone.

“Please can you come to block 47 Mariama road. Leo is unconscious” I shouted on the phone.

“My Leo is unconscious?” The voice asked me. It’s a voice of a girl.

“Witchful sister” That’s what was used to save the number. I giggled. Leo looked at me. Soon, his eyes gently closed and he fainted afterwards.

“Leo wake up.. wake up” I called him but it was in vain.

Few minutes later, A white car came to our direction. The white car looked very flashy and expensive. I haven’t seen a car like that in my life. The white car flashed the lights on my face. I used my hands to cover my eyes.

Two girls in white dress came down from the car and carried Leo immediately into the car.

“My Leo!” One of the girls kept repeating. The driver came down and asked me how he fainted. I explained to him everything to him. They drove out immediately. The girls didn’t give me a look.

“Whatever, that was last night” I muttered to myself.

I brushed my long hard hair. Sometimes, I cry while brushing my hair. it’s too curly and hard to brush.

“You can just pack it” Monica said to me as she carried her sweat shirts leaving the room.

“No one asked you” I said to her. I styled my hair and packed it. I wish mine was like that of my siblings, Long and straightened.

“First impression matters” I said to myself.

“What will I wear?” I asked myself.

I brushed my hands thought the hanger. I brought out a black straight gown.

“This one looks nice” I said as I wore the dress.

I applied some light make up on my face. I brought out a white shoe and wore on my legs. I carried my bag and looked at myself at the mirror.

“I look representable today” I said to myself winking.

I went downstairs to greet my Mum.

“Mia come over here join us” My Mum said to me.

“No Thank you” is replied to my Mum.

Jason was filling the cup with a milk. he kept looking at me that he didn’t know when the milk spilled on the table.

“Is that my sister?” Maria asked.

Monica and My Mum looked at me with their mouth open.

“Bye” I waved at them leaving the house.

I entered into the school premises.

“Wow.. who is she? She looks very beautiful” The students we’re saying to me.

“Her skin is different from ours… but she’s hot” The guys said.

“Are they talking about me?” I asked Myself smiling earnestly.

“Isn’t she the girl from yesterday? The basketball girl?” The student we’re asking each other.

“She looks like Zendaya.. Oh my God!” They continued saying.

“Looks like am going to have a nice social life in my new school” I said to myself.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I entered the class the Master gave to me yesterday.

“We have a new student in the class today” The Teacher said to the students. I entered the class.

“She’s in our class!” The boys in the class shouted. I entered the class.

“Introduce yourself” The Teacher said to me.

“Hi, My name is Donald Mia” I couldn’t complete my words.

“Mia.. I love the name” The students said.

“I don’t like having many friends” I said to them bowing my head.

I decided not too make many friends in this school. That was the way Monica behaved after she changed school because she was bullied. And she found peace by doing so.

“Take your seat” The teacher said to me.

I went to the last seat in the class. I sat down. Everyone in the class looked at me.

“She’s very brave” The student’s in the class said. There was an empty seat beside me.

“… And that is for our class today” The Teacher said to us.

She left the class immediately. Leo was bowing down his head. I stood up to his seat.

“Are you feeling better”? I asked him. He looked at me.

“Mia..” he called out to me and bent back his head. ”

Am feeling better but I want to be alone for some minutes” He said coughing.

“Okay” I replied to him and went back to my seat.

A girl with glasses walked up to me.

“hi”! She waved.

“hi” I replied reluctantly.

“You really don’t want any friends” She said to me.

“Come with me. So you’ll collect your uniform” She said to me. I followed her at the back. I was getting more attention than I expected. The boys looked at me from the window of their classes.

“Thank you” I said to the lady after collecting my uniform from her.

It’s school over. I carried my bag to go home. Leo held my hands. I looked at him.

“Help me carry my bags” Leo pleaded. He looked weak.

“Okay no problem” I carried his bags for him.

“Are your parents taking you home?” I asked him.

“Yes” he replied to him.

I saw the car entering the school compound. It’s Leo’s Mum in front of the car. I was very surprised. I gave the bag to Leo and ran away immediately.

Leo’s Mum hated me alot.

“It’s really Leo. Why don’t he recognize me?” asked myself.

I ran into a bike. I opened my mouth in surprise. I thought it was going to hit me. I fell down that instant. The boy riding the bike came down.

“Are you okay?” he asked me.

“What..? I asked myself. It’s the boy who saved the day I wanted to commit suicide. he looked at me in surprise. he kept holding my hands tightly.
