The cold, smelly drink went down my face, making me shiver. As the droplets of the drink poured down tears fell down endlessly. Like a statue, I just sat there, with only my tears being the only moving thing. As if I was some sort of a joke, they continued laughing, that’s how evil they were. ” Poor Jess, want mommy to help you? Oh but how can she, when she’s probably cleaning my Mom’s toilet?” Cindy laughed. ” Ugh CC, don’t you know that’s what people like her are supposed to do, I mean look at her, she’s like garbage itself,” Thandi said, letting out her little annoying voice.

” That’s true though, girls, let the garbage take itself out, ” Cindy said, catwalking her way out. I looked at my books, which were starting to get wet. Luckily for me, they were not too wet. The anger inside me was getting fueled up. I deserved nothing like this, I just had to end the pain. That day, I never went home, I went to a river nearby. I sat at the bank, crying my heart out. I was out in the woods, at least that’s a proper way to die.

” See Cindy, I hope you’re happy!” I screamed out loud, in between sobs. Then, I heard a rustling sound. I turned to see a boy, with a smile plastered on his face. I presumed he was a teen. ” Uh, hey there, what are you doing here,” he said looking a bit stunned.” Why would you care? ” I asked trying to mask the fact that I was crying but it was just to impossible. ” Because you look like a mess, care to share your story with a stranger?” he asked looking a bit curious.

” Who are you?” asked and realise afterwards that you can’t be asking a stranger who they are but he seemed trust worthy and familiar. ” I’m an angel from above, set to help those in need and today the lord sent me to help you, so what’s troubling you?” he asked again with a smile on his face, showing off his perfect white teeth, which shined once they got struck by the sun. ” I guess we don’t know each other so it will be easier to forget each other, ” I sighed.” Exactly! ” he cheered me on. I laughed a bit at his behavior.

“Ever since my Mom’s boss agreed to send me to a high class school because I was smart, her daughter has been treating me like rubbish. I bet she let’s things rot so that she could just throw them on top of my hair. You see this smelly hair, it’s because of her, I got laughed at by my classmates while she and her friends pretended to be defending me but I knew that she was just pretending. I thought that since we are in high school she might just let me be but I was wrong. And I can’t complain because her mother is the source of my income, ” I told him the story, for the first time in my life had I told someone in my life.

He looked to be in deep thought so I dipped my feet in the water.” I can get my father to sponsor your educational fees, if you promise that you’ll write a letter and give me your report marks. You’ll have to trust me and within a month, you’ll be enrolled into a new, top, top class school, where you’ll enhance your abilities more. As for transport, you won’t need it cause you’ll be going to a boarding school. But before leaving your current school, you’ll have to tell the truth and stand up for yourself, ” he said leaving me shocked making me slightly believe him.
