LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL #PROJECT NIGERIA

~23~ Part 1

Maris POV

I stretch loudly as my back ached from the position I slept off.
Channelle didn't come home yesterday, as long as I stayed awake.

By the way, I stayed awake waiting for her, I think I'm qualified to be a night watch woman because ehnn...

Maybe she got home immediately I slept off, I hurriedly stood up
"ouch" I cried as I  felt a sharp pain in my neck,
"you would pay for this!" I muttered, as I opened my door and made my way to her room.

I opened her door and peeped inside "empty" I nodded in observation,

I saw a stack of littered paper on her table, and was about to pick one when I freaked out in fear,

"Maris!!" My mom yelled from downstairs

Geez can this woman keep it quiet

I came out of her room, " you would be late for school!!" I heard my mom yelling again

"Argh" I groaned, " can I just close this chapter of my life, the school partly because I am tired!"

I freshened up and went downstairs,
"Good morning Dad, Good morning Mom"

"Good morning, hope you slept well?"

I didn't sleep a wink

I nodded in response.

I looked at both of them, did they know that their first daughter did not sleep in this house yesterday?

"Mom" I called

"Yes dear"

"Channelle didn't sleep at home yesterday," I said

"Ohhh, that's why you have your face worked up, did you even sleep a bit last night" she examined my face,

"Not really, I slept well though," I said quickly

"Well, she texted that she wouldn't be coming home" Mom explained

"Really?"

"Yes and this time, she texted in abbreviation only that it was through the messaging app"

My Dad chuckled " Elle used the messaging app?"

"Oh yes, Maris was quite surprised yesterday, I'm quite surprised today, guess you'll be quite surprised later in the day," Mom said

"And we all will be quite surprised tomorrow" Dad added

"Where did she spend the night?" I'm fuming already

"At Lami's"

Wow! So much for a caring sister like me

I ate in silence, we would see in school

"Bye Mom, bye Dad" I stepped out of the house

"Good morning sir"

"Morning Maris" we drove to school in silence.

"Thank you sir" I ran to the main gate with speed, I'm so late.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw Senior Jason standing at the gate,

"Oh boy! Cynthia wasn't joking at all. He doesn't look friendly, and the crying part? I think I'm ready to start crying " I walked slowly towards the gate, my heart beating fast. I can feel the tears knocking at the door, one shout, I'll just start crying.
