" I came to win,
I came to gain
but if I can't
you know what will happen.
You know what day it says?
It is my day." I recalled. "It's her day..........her birthday"
I say unaware of people staring at me, I finally snap out and I notice people staring at me. I walk uneasily to my class room, I sit on a chair as Stella comes running up to me.
Stella is my best friend and has always been there for me since kindergarten, she was the first person I told when papa died and since then she always cared. Stella is a short thin girl from Edo State, I always joked with her that the wind would blow her away if she wasn't careful. She had a black long hair which I was often jealous of, chubby cheeks and the loveliest eyes that made her receive all she asked for.
"Ella guess what" she said smiling reveling a nice set of teeth, "I dunno, what?" I asked, she frowned a little "I said guess" she said making more emphasis on the "guess", "ummm" i racked my brain "it's your birthday" I reply with a shrug, she laughs "is that the best you could come up with, you know very well my birthday is on the 4th of November which is a long way from now, anyways you were part of the best in this year's examination", I didn't expect it but was excited "wow, so the results are out" "yes, yes, yes" she said "how was yours?" I ask curiously because she's an average student but she's always eager to learn, "it was ok, I am part of......" she says but is distracted by the sound of the bell, "assembly time" I say "but the last in this school" I say to her, she giggles and we run downstairs.
People are still staring, at least I think I know the reason why. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'm here to announce to you people that awards would be handed out to some people today" says Mr Wole, a bald, tall dark-skinned man teaching English language when all eyes fall on me, "people that made the school proud and did exceedingly well in this year's examination, Miss Isabella Dozie, Master James Apo, Miss Annabel Adeyemi and the last Miss Stella Udo". I can't believe what I hear, I'm so bewildered, Stella is actually part, so that's why she was jovial, they present the awards to us, I meet Stella and congratulate her. Mama picks us up, Stella is coming to my house to give Baby Goldie a birthday present. We reach there and I walk in with Stella we see Baby Goldie sitting playing with her toys, I approach her but she ignores me and turns to Stella, she waves her hands for her to be carried but instead I carry her "I'm sorry, it skipped my mind" I hand her a chocolate, she opens it leans forward and bites me, it feels like 24 needles piercing my skin, I feel blood trickling down my skin, I scream and before I drop her down she whispers into my ear with a stern voice "don't think you can buy me back with a chocolate" I drop her down.
