"Get your filthy hands off me"said Mrs Fiona

       "And listen don't you ever in your life call me your mother,I am not your mother and i can never give birth to an imbecile like you"said Mrs Fiona

       "I....I....I am so sorry "I replied

      " And listen, make sure my daughter eats her meal in time and takes good care of her ,I must not hear any complaints about you if not you will blame yourself"said Mrs Fiona and she exists

     I went to my room and tears rolled down my cheeks "I wish my mom and dad were here"I thought when i heard someone knocked on my door and my guess was right it was Kimberly my stepsister she is just like her mom

      "How long will it take you to open the door ,you fool"Kimberly said

       "I'm sorry"I replied

        "Anyways I'm on my way out on a date with my boyfriend and if mom comes back before me tell her i went to the store to get something"she said and i just nod my head in response and she exists before i know it

       Her dressing was so indecent ,she wore a crazy bum short and a crop top revealing all her tummy and her belly button,after she left i went back to my thought ,if mom and dad were here my life would have been  better even though we have a cook and a cleaner i was forced to do all the chores in this damn house

        I went to have my bath and my breakfast since no one was in the house ,i could breath safely without any fear ,my life was now complete no one to shout at me ,call me names,insult me and physically and emotionally abuse me

       I went outside the house to catch some fresh air when i met a girl who was just the same age as me she was sitting lonely in the playground,she is so beautiful,cute and has a pink lips and pointed nose ,her hair float down her shoulder which makes her look more prettier,she is wearing a mini skirt and a long sleeve crop top with a short sleeve matching jacket,when she saw me she smiled at me and her teeth were shinning bright like a diamond

          "Hey "she said

              " Hi" I replied

         "I'm Havana"she said "Havana Blackwood"

       "Oh....hi"I replied

       "Well we just packed here recently and i don't have any friends so i came here to catch fun"she said

       " Oh"I replied

     "It's so nice to meet you"she said

    " My pleasure" i replied

    "So i lived with my parents,my mom ,my dad and my older brother Asher ,we lived together, i really like you ,you know right ,you are fun to be with"she said

          "Thank you"I replied because i felt it was a compliment

              We kept on talking about each other and sharing interesting jokes that i even forget about the fact that i would be going home ,we went on sharing memories about ourselves and before i could say "jack"the time was gone,i was so terrified because i think about the punishment that awaits me at home ,i quickly dashed home and i even forgot to ask Havana where she lives

                    Fiona's  POV

               As I walked into the hallway i called sapphire's name for the hundredth times but she did not  answer me so i went to check her in her bedroom and bathroom but she wasn't there so i went to Kim's room instead

          "Hello mom"kim said

        " Hi my love"i replied hugging her

    "Do you know where sapphire is i have been looking for her and i can't find her in her room"I asked

          "Uhmmm....uhmmm..mom i don't know if i should be saying this but i saw her when a man came to pick her up i think he is her boyfriend" Kim said

       "What!"i exclaimed

       " Yes mom"kim replied

        "You mean sapphire has been seeing a man in my house"I yelled

    " Yes mom"kim replied smiling sheepily

                  SAPPHIRE'S POV

         When i arrived at home the house was on fire and Mrs Fiona had totally lost it I thought they were looking for something until she bounced on me and called me all sorts of names like "prostitute","slut","whore" etc

         "You want to act like the whore or thing that gave birth to you"said Mrs Fiona slapping me and banging my head on the wall hitting me with anything she sees and Kimberly was there smiling sheepily

       " No ma I am so sorry"i said crying

   " You are always sorry and how many times have i told you not to say those words,you slut, see let me tell you something you pisses me off , i hate you ,i hate everything about you,you are a blemish in my skin,i fell like killing you"Mrs Fiona said

      I still don't understand what is happening so i asked one of the help in the house and she narrated everything to me

      I just went to my room and cried my eyes out holding my parents picture

      "Mom,dad where are you "I said crying as tears rolled down my cheeks,I cried the entire night till i went to sleep

Summer break was over and it was time to start a new academic section.Kim attend Redcrest High which is a very famous school in my country and i attend Normane Valley High .I attended Redcrest High before but Mrs Fiona changed it after my mom and dad passed

           It was early Monday morning and we were getting ourselves ready for school,Kim had bought everything she needs for the new academic section and i will make do with my old stationary since I had nobody to buy me a new one .so I got dressed wore my uniform,I took my backpack and I went downstairs,i checked the time and I realised I was running late already, I have been working since morning so I had no time to the clock so I dashed out of the house

         When I arrived at school, since it was my first day I had difficulties finding the classroom and the library, due to all the clumsiness caused by me i bumped into a girl and my books

      "Ouch"the girl said

      "I'm so sorry"i apologised

    "It's okay" the girl said

    "Uhmm...by the name am Amelia"the girl said she is so beautiful but pale she is so pale and i can guess she is a nerd because of her look i mean i can always identify a nerd by their looks

     "I'm Sapphire...Sapphire Lynwood"i said

      "Such a nice name and nice to meet you"she said

     "My pleasure" i replied

     So Amelia walked me into the hallway and she showed me my class since we were both in the same grade and same class.when we walked into the class the students were having literature in English and we were going to be reading a book by William Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream

     The tutor was facing the board and she all of a sudden turned back cause the students were murmuring

     "One class please" said the tutor dropping the white board marker on her desk

     "So our today's topic is.....uhmm i guess we have a new student joining us" she said pointing at me " hey, you there you may introduce yourself" she said

        "Hello everyone, my name is Sapphire Lynwood"I answered.I don't know where I got that boldness and courage from

     "So ,our today's topic is a mid summer night by William Shakespeare, I guess you all know the man ,he is my mentor"the teacher said.she introduced herself as Miss Catherine

      "Yes ma'am" the class answered

   "Who can summarise the play for us" Miss Catherine said and Amelia raised her hand and she was chosen, She summarise the beyond the teacher's imagination

      "A round of applause for her" Miss Catherine ordered. I was taken aback by her courage and boldness, I'm very shy but i was always not like that I've been like that since mom and dad passed because i always follow mom and dad for an interview when they are both alive

                     Kim's POV

    Today is the first day of school after summer holiday , I got up early because I want to go early to school, I wore my uniform which was a short black mini plotted skirt, and a white sleeve shirt,mom insisted on wearing panty hose to the skirt because she believed it was too short which I don't really think so, well back to business ,I combed my hair as it floats down my shoulder and to be sincere my hair is actually very long. After I was done combing my hair, I applied slight makeup and wore a strawberry flavoured lip gloss, I wore my loafers and carried my backpack then I went downstairs to have my breakfast

        The driver dropped at school and gosh I was feeling myself the boys were dropping dead for me ,they were so mesmerised.I saw Lucas,Lucas Brooks the hottest boy is high school and we both love each other so much , we go on date etc

     "Hi Lucas"I said

       "Hey Kim" he replied"how was your holiday"he said hugging and pecking me

        "Great and yours" I asked blushing

        "Good"he answered folding his arms round my shoulder and we both made our way to class , the teacher was taking physics

        "Arggggg" I grunt in my head ,I just hate that subject i wasn't even paying attention all i was hearing was

      "The motion law which is the newton law and the first law if motion  states that ...bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla" was all i can hear till the end of the class, gosh I can't wait to get home and go on a date with the love of my life

                 SAPPHIRE'S POV

    It was closing time and school had just dismissed, Amelia and I decided to walk together ,we gist, chat and I can't wait to tell Havana about the new friend I made because Havana attended a different school from ours. We closed early today so I decided to say hi to Havana On my way home because her street comes before mine when I noticed Amelia had been following me

     "Aren't you going home" I asked

      "I am ...uhmmm...I lived in the next  street with my mom"she replied

     "Wow , I also lived around here " I said excitedly

    "That means we can always meet each other even on weekends"Amelia said

     "Yeah" I answered thinking whether Mrs Fiona would let me

      So we part ways and I went to Havana's house.when I got there I saw Havana in the parking area doing her homework so she told the security man to open the gate for me which he did and I went in, I gust her about Amelia ,I told her Amelia is sick beautiful and nice,I told her Amelia's favourite food and colour is the same as hers which was purple and pastry respectively, Havana was happier than I was and she told me she wants to go See Amelia but the security man didn't let her

      When I got to the door step I thought out loud

                 " O lord not again"I entered the house and I went to my room to change into something casual and i came downstairs to do my chores such as cutting the flowers so as to make it equal, doing the dishes and mopping the floor. When I was done Mrs Fiona told the chef to give me a small portion of food which I ate because I need that energy to find mom and dad because i can't believe they are both dead. I went to my room and lay down peacefully

"Help me" a voice said scarily

"please help me, save me from this wicked hand" the woman said, it was so creepy, I saw a woman who was tied around a chair with a rope, her tongue stuck out and blood was dripping out from it, it was a very dark figure but with the look, I can tell it was a female, her teeth was also black, her eyeballs were green, her hair was whiter than milk. I saw another woman towards me

"No...no...no...no...let...let...me..be" I screamed as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the ceiling

It was another day for school, I did my usual chores and I got myself ready for school, I told Amelia about it because we agreed to meet at a spot, but she said it was nothing and dreams are always stupid.Onn our way to school, we saw Havana at the back seat of the car together with her brother. Havana told Asher to tell the driver to stop the car which he did because the driver won't listen to me.

"hello" i greeted Havana

"hi" said Havana hugging me

"you must be Amelia right"Havana said Amelia

"yes i am, it really nice meeting you" Amelia replied

"wow" Havana exclaimed excitedly hugging Amelia and I felt a little jealous

I realised that Asher was stealing glances at Amelia but I kept quiet till the driver drove off and I turned to Amelia using my shoulder to brush her

"I saw that" I said

"What" she asked

"the way Asher was stealing glances at you, I got the assignment" I replied

..."How on earth will Asher be stealing glances at a pale girl like me, I'm sure in his school there are girls that are more beautiful than me, he can never date me"Amelia said looking down on herself"...

"No Amelia, you are beautiful just the way you are, and listen to me, you don't have to change anything because of anybody"I said

"I don't know what I would do without you" she said hugging me as tears rolled down her cheeks

We arrived at school and the bell rang for break, and we all went to the cafeteria to have our lunch, Amelia, and I was sitting together on the same table when some bunch of girls came in, I know who they are because some students have been talking about them, they were coming towards my direction, I know they were here for me

"Hey you" she said pointing at me, she asked me to stand up which I did

"I don't want to ever see you near my man" she said, and I truly don't know what she was talking about, she looks like she is the leader of the group, she is so bossy and the others keep following her lead which is so annoying

She took my lunch and poured it on the floor and she ordered me to start eating it like a dog, she said this is how peasant like me eat, I was about doing it when all of a sudden Amelia grabbed the girl from her collar, and said

" don't you ever try this again, she's my friend and you have no right to treat her bad" I was taken aback, and so was the girls and others in the cafeteria, the girls were called " the black devil", before leaving they made the sign with their hands which means "my eyes are on you"

After the girls left Amelia escort me to the restroom and help me wash my uniform because the girls spilled some juice on it, I had never experienced something like this in my entire life, it was shocking, but Amelia was there for me as she took me in her hands and hugged me

"Don't worry everything will be fine" Amelia said as I cried my eyes out

Kim's POV

home from school,I went upstairs to drop my backpack and Chang into something nice and comfortable, I had my lunch and I asked the driver to take me out and he allowed because I lied to him, mom said I shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere so I lied to the driver that I want to visit a friend

After driving for about thirty minutes, I finally asked the driver to take a u turn and I arrived at an incomplete building, it is very old, I went inside and I went to a room upstairs, I will just spend about five minutes there because if mom finds out, she would skin me alive

I entered the room, and it was Sapphire's mom and dad, I removed the rope tied around sapphire's mom mouth,, and she spoke

"why are you doing this to us" Sapphire's mom said sobbIng

"this is nothing, i am not doIng this for the sake of doing, it is for your own good" I said

"And,oops before I forget, your precious daughter Sapphire really miss you so much that she talks about you everyday, you are so lucky to have a daughter like her" I said feeling annoyed already

"Please... please don't hurt my daughter I am begging you"Sapphire's mom pleaded

"I already did my dear"I replied as I ordered one of the guards to tie the rope back, I told the guards to take proper care of them because we want the alive to see their daughter suffer and also to sign an important document

I rushed home and I arrived just in time because mom and sapphire isn't home
