I woke up the next morning feeling kind of sore, I guessed it is as a result of the tears I shed last night ..
Yes the tears, Daphne and I cried after hearing the Declan suspicions about the School principals…..I mean if the principal who is the head of the school was truly involved in the case, then who can we trust! no one ……
I sat up on the bed and looked around the room for Daphne but she was no where to be found…..
I dragged myself up from the bed, I went over to the bathroom to freshen up…
On returning to the room, I found her standing beside the bed
Good morning! I greeted first
Morning Sasha! She responded with a sad sigh …..
I went over to the wardrobe without saying anything, I knew she was still worried about what she heard yesterday…….
Opening my wardrobe, I searched through it for a comfortable cloth and soon found one …….
I pulled it out, it was a black straight out with a turtle neck ….
Unzipping the gown, I dressed hurriedly in it ……
Actually I have been pondering about something, what if Racheal is also involved? Daphne asked and I nodded without looking at her
I have been pondering about that as well and the thoughts of it was running me crazy!
And without saying anything, I parked my hair into loosed bun, applied little makeup and then grabbed my back pack …..
Slinging my backpack across my shoulders, I faced her
Let us go. I said and without waiting for her response, I headed downstairs to the sitting room……

On getting downstairs, I met my family seated around the dining table having breakfast, and to my surprise, My dad was also seated in the dinning…
Wow! Dad! When did you get back? I asked and my mom shot me an angry stare..
Have you forgotten your manners young lady! She scolded at me
Oh my bad! I am sorry! Good morning mum! Good morning dad! I greeted
how are you Princess? My dad asked with a large smile
Fine, so when did you get back? I repeated and he chuckled
I got home late at night, I wanted to check on you but it seems like you were…….
Sleeping. I completed but he shook his head
No, it seems like you were crying, did someone hurt you? he asked staring intently at me
No erm I mean erm why would someone offend me. I stuttered nervously
He stared at me for a while and then faced my mom
Are you sure Sasha is alright? he asked her and my mum shifted her gaze to me
Are you alright? She threw the question back at me and I nodded
Maybe she was crying because her cute boyfriend dumped her. Kamara drawled, joining in the conversation and I glared at her ..
Boyfriend! My dad repeated and she nodded
Yes dad, Sasha have a boyfriend. She answered with an evil grin and I felt like squeezing those small mouth of hers ….
Jeez! How can my sister be this annoying!
Is that true Sasha, do you have a boyfriend? My dad asked and I nodded slowly
He sighed and then faced my mom
Are you aware of this Matilda? he asked calling my mom by her first name
Sure! she is already 18 and I feel she can handle a relationship. My mom answered with a shrug
But Matilda don’t you think she is …. my dad tried to say but my mum cut him off…
Relax Dave! We started dating when we were 17 or have you forgotten? My mom reminded and my dad went pale
That was because! That was because! That was because! he stuttered without saying anything meaningful and I chuckled softly…
It is alright dad! I understand you are worried about me and I promise to be very careful. I assured and he sighed
Fine! Come and have breakfast. he instructed but I shook my head
I will pass dad! I said softly
But why? Ain’t you hungry? he asked knitting his eyebrow and I nodded
Alright then! run off to school so you won’t be late. he said teasingly and I smiled
See you later! I bade and walked out of the house with Daphne following behind me……

Where have your dad been since all this while? Daphne asked as we walked to the taxi station
Work. I answered and she furrowed her eyebrow
Does he sleep at his work place? She asked again and I nodded
But why? She continued
I was about to answer when my phone rang and on checking the caller, it was Declan
Oops! I guess he is already at the taxi station waiting for me ..
I received it
Hi Declan! I greeted first
Where are you? he asked without responding to my greetings
I smirked, is he for real? I wondered
Where are you? I threw the question back at him and he scoffed
Are you kidding me? Anyways, I am already at the taxi station. he informed
Alright dear! I will be there in a jiffy. I said and ended the call….
What did he say? Daphne asked
He said he Is already at the taxi station. I replied
Alright then! run along, I will meet you in school. She said and before I could even say anything, she ran off
¢razy! I muttered and then ran all the way to the taxi station……

Getting to the taxi station, I looked around and sighted Declan car parked a few meters away
Why didn’t he honk the car horn?
I walked briskly towards the car and on getting there, I opened the car door and got in …..
Good morning! I greeted Declan who just nodded
And without saying anything. he started the car and drove off heading to school……
I bit my lips in anger
What kind of boyfriend ignores his girlfriend greeting? only the rude and proud ones like …….Declan!
Well! Since he wants it that way, I will give him also….
And with my hands folded across my chest, I maintained a straight face throughout the drive to the school …….

On getting to the school, he drove into the compound and parked out in the parking lot
I alighted from the car and Declan did same at his own end
How can somebody be so stubborn!
I walked towards the class and was expecting Declan to do the same, but instead he took the opposite direction
Where is he going?…. could it be the… oh no! The principal office…
Declan! I called with a loud voice and he stopped then turned to face me
I walked up to him
Where are you going? I asked with a frown and he scoffed
Are you really talking to me? he asked mockingly
Quit the act Dec, where are you going? I repeated
Isn’t it obvious. he drawled
Are for for real! Don’t you think before you act! Questioning the principal might attract a detention.
And do I look like I care! he retorted in a huff
Please Declan ! I pleaded softly even when I knew he won’t listen to me…..
Go to class Sasha! he instructed
No Declan! If you choose to go to the principal office, then I will come with you. I insisted
he was quiet for a moment and then huffed
I can see you are the stubborn type!
Same with you. I drawled and he sighed
You are so impossible! Let us go to class. he said as he walked past me to the class ……
Better! I remarked as I followed behind him……
