ANDREA POV
I got to my destination and I told the guards that am a friend of the person living there and they were at first doubtful about me and so they made a call to the owner.
At first I thought that she will refuse me but I was surprised when I was told to go in, I never thought that after what happen at school today, she will let me into her house
I was still looking around the big mansion when Brenda walked out of the house.
“Good evening”I greeted
“Why are you here?”She asked looking more surprised than any thing else.
“I never thought that you will be Coming here, after what you did “She said
“I have no place to go that is why I came here”
“Why would you pick my place out if every where to go to” she asked
“Because you were the only one who didn’t say a thing, your eyes weren’t condemning like the rest”I said softly
“Just because I didn’t ask any question doesn’t mean am not mad at you”She said
“I know that what I did is upsetting and am sorry about it, can I stay at your house tonight, I have no where to go”I said
“No! I don’t want you at my house, just go”she said and went back to her house.
She was my only hope, every one else was angry but she wasn’t and I thought that she will be willing to help but it turns out that she is also angry.
I turned to leave only to hear the door open again.
“I will let you stay only if you tell me why you lied”She said and i smiled at her
Though she might be angry, she wouldnt let me sleep out on the streets, I thought as I gave her a smile.

*********************
“What did your father say about my staying?”I asked as I stood in her room, waiting for her to come in.
“Nothing, my friends coming to stay in my house is none of his business just as his work and love life is none of my business too, so come,tell me why you lied”She said as she pulled me to her bed.
“It’s a long story, would you still want to listen to it?”I asked
“I have all the time in the world, you see when every one was judging you, I kept quiet only because I knew that there must be a reason for you lying to us, I wanted you to say it back then but when you didn’t I was a bit disasapointed”she said
“What about Beatrice? Is she disasapointed or angry at me?”I asked
“I wouldn’t say she is disappointed but instead I will say she sad,. You didn’t trust us enough to tell us the truth, that really hurts, you know after you left, she was very said, she couldn’t stop crying”She added
“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to keep it a secret and I trust both you and Brenda”I said
“Then why did you keep it a lie?”She asked
“Because I didn’t want you to hate me, I didn’t want you to be disappointed in me, you see in my former school, I was bullied and that was because they found out I was poor, my mom is some one who is obsessed about sending me to a rich school”
“But why insist on sending you to a rich school, she could have send you to a public school.”She said
” I once asked her that and she said that she didn’t want me to be like her, you see she went to a public school, did her best to finish college and when it was time for her to get a job, she didn’t get one and that is because of the poor school she attended, no one would accept her even when she good, after searching for jobs and not finding one, she decided to get a pick up jobs, she did all sort of jobs and that was to save up for me, she didn’t want me to be her ”
“For years I had to watch her work her self to the bone and some times I blame myself for it but I can’t keep on blaming myself forever, all I have to do is to make sure her effort on me works out, so I lied just to be free of other students criticising me and also to be free from being bullied”I finished softly
“But you shouldn’t be afraid Andrea, you should have come out with the truth and if any one still condemned you, we would have fought for you, You should be proud of your mom, she works as a maid and yet she pays for your school tuition, if I were you I would have proudly told every one about my mom””Brenda said softly
“I know right! Am a coward”I added softly
“No you are not ,you were scared of being bullied and so you told us all a lie, you did it to protect yourself”She said assuring me and I hugged her.
“Thank you Brenda, thanks for not judging me”I said
“That’s because I now know the reason you lied, am sure that if the others know about this too, they will understand”She replied as she gave me a tight hug
“Will Beatrice under stand too?”I asked
“Yes she will, once she knows why you did it”She said and i gave her a smile.
“You know it’s been long since have had a sleep over, I like it that you are here”She said happily
Just then my phone began to ring again and it was Max.
“Who is that? Oh its Max”She said as she saw the caller.
“You can pick, I will give you privacy if you want”
“No don’t worry, I won’t be picking his call”I said as I caught the call.
“I think you should pick it, he has been worried about you, as soon as you left he came running in and he was not even in his uniform and when Joshua said some thing rude about you, he was about to hit him, of Geoffrey hadn’t held him back, the guy would have ended at a hospital, Some how I think that he is very protective of you and now that I think about it, he always accompany us if you are there, could it be that…….”
“Max and i like each other”I said and she stared at me in surprise
“I don’t want any secrets between us that is why have decided to tell you this, you are the first one am telling”I said
“You two like each other, I just can’t believe it”She said
“Why can’t you ?”
“Max strikes me as some one who doesn’t like a girl, you know I kind of see him as the player type”She said and i smiled wistfully
“He is not a player, Max is sweet and kind and too good for me, we were dating secretly for a week and I can say that he made me the most happiest girl during that week”I said having a sad look
“Wow, how can you keep such thing a secret from me”She said
“I had to keep it a secret because I didn’t want people talking and also because of his mind who wants Rose for him”I said
“That’s right! I heard that they got engaged? What about you!”she asked
“What do you think, we had to break up “I said
“But he still calling you and the way he acted when he was looking for you, I think he still cares about you” she said
“He still care about me,he still loves me and I still love him but he can’t be with me and I can’t be wit h him, I shouldn’t have set my eyes on him, I should have stayed away but I had foolishly let my heart go to him, I love him but he can never be mine and so it’s best that I stay away from him”I said
“Oh you poor thing “Brenda said as she pulled me to a hug.
