Only Hope
Nina was sleeping when her grandfather woke her up by splashing water on her face
Nina : grandpa (she shouted), what was that for?
Linton: Did you forget that you are going to school today
Nina : I guess I did but why did you splash water on my face
Linton: I tried waking you up by calling your name, but you were still sleeping, so I decided to splash water on your face
Nina: not cool at all grandpa
Linton : go and freshen up and dress and your so-called friend ,pearl is wating for you outside
Nina : you didn't let her in
Linton: why should I let a stranger into my house
Nina : but she's my best friend grandpa anyway never mind
Linton sighed and walked away
Nina : grandpa is indeed weird mum and dad (she said while talking to her mother and father picture), well I guess it's time for school she said as she turned on the music not too high, not too low, then she entered her bathroom then she bathed, brush then she wore her school uniform that made her look so beautiful then she brushed her hair before packing it in ponytail style before carrying her crossing bag and her stationary, when she was finally done she kissed her parents picture goodbye, before she went downstairs and ate her breakfast in a hurry, but she noticed that her grandpa hasn't been taking his medicine, so she shouted" grandpa, why haven't you been taking your drugs"
Linton: what drugs
Nina was about to open the door to go out but stopped then she followed her grandfather voice and found him in the garden watering a particular rose flower
Nina: grandpa for my sake please take your drugs, I don't want to loose you
Linton: you won't loose me Nina and those drugs are really hard to swallow
Nina : I know, Im off to school now grandpa , please take your drugs ok
Linton : ok , always remember , don't ever give up ok
Nina: ok grandpa, thanks for the food (she said then walked away)
Nina went outside to find pearl pacing back and forth
Nina : sorry, I kept you waiting for so long bestie
Pearl : it's ok, I understand, so let's go
Nina :ok
The two friends walked for a very long period of time before they arrived at school

Nina and pearl ran like crazy and to pearls surprise Nina won, she was angry but didn't show it
Nina : I won, (she shouted)

Nina : oh ok(she said then sat down next to pearl)
Immediately they sat down the teacher walked in with a new handsome student named (Kai)
teacher : everyone please settle down and welcome your new classmate
Everyone : welcome
teacher : please introduce yourself
Kai : Good morning everyone, my name is Kai blackwood

The two talked while Kai introduced himself to his classmate but pearl and Nina didn't hear his age because they were discussing, Kai sat next to pearl after introducing his self to his new classmate.
