Mara’s Pov
I woke up immediately the sun shone into my room.
Argh I groaned as I felt a loud bang on my head, last night was really scary can’t believe I tried to kill myself that was so foolish of me, what was I even thinking.
I ran back home immidiately the guy left to pick the call .
I sighed as my stomach grumble loudly that was when I remembered that there is no food in this house.
I stood up and picked my cloth I call bed and kept it then went to brush my teeth.
I packed my hair in a pony tail, I really needed the job badly
I picked up my bicycle and whistle to myself as I rode out.
I packed behind a restaurant and entered.
What are you doing here a voice asked and I stopped.
Ma I really wanna apply for a job I said.
Did I tell you I needed badluck here she screamed at me, how dare you show your disgusting face here she said angrily while everyone looked at me in a irritative manner.
Am sorry ma I would leave now I said as tears flowed down my eyes.
You leave and don’t ever show your face here again she said .
I felt so bittered as I roll my bicycle .
I smiled as I watched my age mate laugh at me, why won’t they laugh they were going to school and am not.
Won’t you go to school a girl among them said teasing me and I smiled, there’s no need of crying.
I ignored and rode my bicycle to the beach I would just mind my business since no one notices me here and I do have peace of mind.
I ate the sandwich I bought along the road .
Hours later.
I looked at everyone as they left the beach, well am gonna stay here till the water take me away.
I laided on my bicycle, just then my eyes caught someone.
Hey miss he said coming towards me, it was the guy of yesterday.
I stood up immediately and tried leaving the guy he quickly caught me .
Why did you leave last night he asked starring at me.
Am sorry I said and bowed my head.
You know am not really mad at you, you just have to follow me he said.
Huh I can’t follow you I don’t even know you I said scared.
Come on he said and sat down and dragged me along with him, now you tell me why you wanna kill yourself he said.
I can’t tell you that I said breathing heavily.
calm down and trust me, I won’t hurt you he said.
Ok fine, the truth is that since I was born, I never knew who my parents were, I was dumped in a dust bin to die but luckily an orphanage home took me but they threw me out when I was 7. The only thing my parents left with me was a wrapper and my birth date since then i have struggling to survive. I have tamed as badluck/cursed child, nobody wanna be my friend nobody wanna talk to me nobody wanna employ me am just do lonley I said crying.
Am sorry baby he said and hugged me.
I felt relived in his arms maybe it was because no one had ever done this to me before.
You see I could help you gain admission in glamous high school he said.
What I asked surprised that school is meant for only the rich they are gonna bully me there I am scared.
Oh you don’t have to worry about that, I school there and don’t worry I would protect you.
Thank you so much I said happily, I would be on my way now I said and tried standing up.
You don’t have to go Mara you can spend the night in my place since I leave alone I won’t touch you I promise.

Yeah he said and nodded.
Ok let’s go I said as he led me towards his car while he brought my bicycle along.
