TRUTH AND LIES
(The Poison)
Episode 18
(I know it’s short. I just returned from work and I’m pretty tired)
Alyssa’s Pov:
I looked at Sandy and sandy was looking back at me.
“Uh…you can catch up with me in the bookstore” she told me and I nodded and she left.
I took my eyes back to Mrs Tamara. What does she want to say?
“Alyssa” she called and paused, taking a deep breath.
“I don’t in so. I…I know this much sound crazy but…I want to ask for your forgiveness. I yum…I know I’ve been very unfair to you. But the truth is, I was just kind of jealous. I was jealous of the fact that you were being treated specially here in Mico High.
“Mico had stopped the giving out scholarship in his school, but you were exempted. And then you also got a free registration into the context. I felt you were a commoner and didn’t deserve such special treatment. But I’ve gotten to understand that life isn’t about money or fame. Those who are born rich didn’t chose to be rich and those who are born poor didn’t chose to be poor either.
“I’ve always disliked commoners – a bad habit I’ve been trying to stop. So I want to take out this time and ask for your forgiveness. Is it okay by you?”
I left my eyes dilated in shock. I couldn’t believe it. Is this a joke or something?
Was Mrs Tamara really apologising to me?
I blinked rapidly.
“I…” I paused and scoffed.
It was just too surprising.
“it’s…its okay Mrs Tamara. I hold no grudges against you” I told her and she smiled.
“Thank you Alyssa. Indeed you’re a kindhearted person.
“By the way, I got you a drink to boost our new friendship”.
She proffered the drink to me and I smiled and collected it.
It was a small cartoned drink.
“Thank you ma” I replied happily and she parted me on the shoulders and left.
I looked at her as she walked away and still saw her apology as a miracle.
How did she get to like me? What could’ve prompted her into it?
Well maybe it was the start of something good and new in my life.
I smiled and headed for the bookstore and there I met sandy around the entrance. .
“Hey, I’ve been waiting for you” she said immediately she saw me
“What did you two talk about?”
“Uh. ..she apologised to me and gave me this” I replied happily, showing her the drink and she pulled a surprised face
“Huh? Are you serious? She apologised to you? And wait…its Milky way!” She exclaimed and collected the drink from me.
“It’s actually my favourite. Don’t worry, I’ll help you hold it”.
I chuckled and we walked fully into the bookstore.
“I still can’t believe Mrs Tamara apologised to me, sandy” I said as we stood by a book shelf.
Sandy opened the drink and sipped from it.
“Well, Mrs Tamara is a nice person. I was surprised when you told me she was inconveniencing you” she replied.
