Ring!!!!! Ring!!!!!
Arghh.
“Naomi wake up, you bastard” Naomi step mom shouted.
“Mum let me sleep more” Naomi replies sleepily.
“Who is you mom idiot, better stand up or you want me to punish you again” Her step mom says.
“Am up, WHAT!!” Naomi yells;
“Did you just yell at me, you bastard come here” Naomi step mom says and drags her down from her bed, pounces on her and started to beat her, dragging her long hair although Naomi begged and apologize.
“Mum am sorry” Naomi weeps with blood coming out of her nose.
“This is why your mom died idiot, stand up and come do your chores” Her step mom says and walks out.
Naomi crawls to a picture in front of her dressing table and grabs it.
“Mum I miss you, why did you leave me here to suffer, you should have taken me with you.
I also miss you dad but I will never forgive you for what you did to me” Naomi sniffs.
“Will you come down here or you want me to give you another round of beating?” Naomi step mom yells;
“Am coming ma” Naomi says.
She walks out of her tiny bedroom only to meet the parlor dirty from the party her evil stepsisters has last night.
“Hey idiot, get me orange juice” Dami, one of Naomi stepsisters said.
“Yes ma” Naomi replies.
Naomi came back with the orange juice and handed it over to Dami.
“”Is this what I asked you to bring for me” Dani yells and pours it all over Naomi’s body.
“But you said Orange juice” Naomi implies.
“Ooh so you are correcting me abi” Dami says and slapped Naomi, she lifted her hands once again to slap Naomi when Favor, Naomi other stepsister, interrupted.
“Why would you slap her for bringing what you asked for” Favor yells at Dami.
(Favor is not as wicked as Dami, She takes Naomi as her sister).
“Why are you siding this slut, am pretty sure she sleeps with different men, that’s why she is beautiful and curvy” Dami says eyeing Naomi’s body with jealousy burning in her eyes.
“Ooh that’s what this is all about, just because she is more beautiful than you are, Jealous brat” Favor said with disappointment in her eyes as she looked at Dami.
“Me jealous?, Never, I know I am way more beautiful than she is..” Dami said proudly although she knows it’s not true.
Naomi opened her mouth to speak but was cut short by Dami.
“Don’t you dare say a word there, you bitch” Dani yells at Naomi.
“You know what, Naomi go pack your bags.
We are moving out” Favor says.
“What, No!!” Naomi exclaims.
“I’d rather stay here, I mean this is my childhood home, I have memories 9f…” Naomi wanted to continue but Dami cut her off.
“Blah, blah, blah story of my life, it’s better you go. I hate seeing your face” Dani said with am eye roll.
“No” Naomi says and rushes to her room.
“Such nonsense people, phew I can’t believe I dropped out of school for these brats.
I really miss school” She goes to the poster on her wall and says.
“I pray I meet you, my handsome devil”.
Alex walks into school with his friends.
They are a group of friends named DA SILVERS which consists of Alex, Andy, Mark and Dylan..
Dylan and Andy are twins but not identical.
They walked into the school with Alex and Andy in the middle…
Alex had an expressionless face as he heard different comments from the students of Crystal high.
🗣️ “Alex is so cute”.
🗣️” I love your hair color Mark”.
🗣️”Twin power, I love you”.
🗣️”Alex marry me”.
🗣️”Just one night with you is what I need” a girl shouted and Mark smirked and winked at her in which she fainted at while her friends carried her out..
As they were walking down the hallway, a fat, chubby girl stopped in front of Alex and brought out a gift from her back.
🗣️”Is she tryna die”.
🗣️”If Cherry sees this, she is dead”.
🗣️”Cherry is so going to kill her”.
Comments went wild.
The fat gurl stretched forth her hands towards Alex,.it was a cake. As Alex collects it, the girl rejoices in her head not until she felt something heavy on her hair, it was the cake and then she realizes that Alex dumped it on her head..
Everyone Gasps.
“Stay away from me” Alex says and walks pass her making sure no contact is made.
Unluckily for the girl, Cherry saw the scene and walks down the hallway only to stop infront of the fat girl.
Cherry had her minions by her side(Zoey: Quiet but deadly, Michelle: Badass bitch).
Cherry raises her hand and slaps the fat girl 2wice.
Once again, gasps were heard.
“Stay away from my man” Cherry says and waltz down the hallway way with her minions following her. She goes to the private class for Alex and his friends.
She ran to him wanting a hug but remembering his allergy, she stops.
Note: Alex, Cherry and Nicholas are childhood friends which means Cherry is the only girl close to him. Who is Nicholas?? Well read to find out).
“Hey Alex” Cherry says Smiling sheepishly.
“What do you want?”Alex replies coldly, his eyes still on his phone.
“Al least look at me, it’s not like you are blind” Cherry says but Alex ignores her so She walks out angrily.
“Bro” Mark says to Alex.
“What” Alex answers with no hint of emotion displaying in his eyes.
“When will you stop all this cold and arrogant behavior, what really happened that night? I want my Playful Alex back” Mark says.
“Bro don’t bother, he won’t say a word” Andy says.
“He is so impossible” Dylan replies.
Alex didn’t bother listening to their conversation, he plugged in his earphone because he is writing a new song for their band “DA SILVERS”
They are a band.
Andy: rapper.
Mark: back up Vocalist and guitarist.
Dylan: Drummer.
Alex: Lead Vocalist and Guitarist.
Chapter 3 & 4 : The Scholarship
Naomi!!! Naomi!!!” Naomi step mom calls.
Yes ma” Naomi replies.
“Come down here, is it from your room you will answer me, it’s like your dead mom didn’t teach you respect” Her stepmom says but loud enough for Naomi to hear.
That triggered Naomi’s anger.
“Stop bringing my mom into this, what’s your problem. First you turned me into a slave in my father’s house and now this, your children has never lifted a finger to do anything why me….
Naomi wanted to continue but was given a resounding slap that sent her flying, literally it sent her flying.
“You idiot how dare you shout at your elder, Carry this money and go buy something to cook for dinner idiot” her step mom says and walks away.
Naomi went out of the house and as she was walking, she suddenly heard voices shouting” thief someone catch that thief”.
She was suddenly pushed down to the ground and that was when she noticed the man who pushed her down was the thief.
Jumping up from the ground, Naomi runs with all her might determined to catch the thief, as she got close enough to him, she jumps and tackled him to the ground he tried to escape but she was determined to hold him down. Soon people started gathering and while some helped her up, others beat the thief up because in Nigeria you can’t steal and get away with it, they fit burn you 🤣🤣
She took the purse and ran back to the woman.
“Here you go ma’am” Naomi said handing the purse to the woman and turns to leave but the woman held her back.
“Thank you so much and am sorry for asking but why aren’t you in school?” The woman asks curiously.
“Dropped out because of insufficient balance of my tuition fee” Naomi replies and noticed the woman wasn’t from their country.
“Oh so sorry, here let me repay you for you good deed” the woman says dipping her hand into her purse but was stopped by Naomi.
“Oh no thank you ma” Naomi refused but the woman was adamant.
” Here take my card and give it to your parents to call me when u get home” the woman says and that triggered Naomi’s memory.
She remembered she was sent on an errand and sped if like the speed of light.
FEW HOURS LATER
Naomi got home but everywhere was dark.
‘maybe they are asleep’ she thought and slowly walked towards the kitchen but suddenly.
The lights came on.
“Where have you been” A voice thundered then Naomi slowly turned around to see..
DAMI!! Oh No.
“ARE YOU DEAF, TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM”.
“From the Market” Naomi stuttered..
“By this time” Dami asked.
“Am coming from the market, don’t question me” Naomi says and turn to leave but the next thing she Heard got her to freeze.
“MOM, NAOMI IS JUST GETTING HOME” Dami yells and smirks toward Naomi.
“What did you say Dami?” Naomi step mom says and walks down the stairs sleepily but when she saw Naomi, it was like she was given magical strength, she slowly walked towards Naomi.
The next thing Naomi step did got Naomi shocked.
Her Step mom………
Chapter 5 & 6 : The Scholarship 2
The next thing Naomi received from her Step Mom left her Frozen in place.
Her Step Mom hugged her😱
“Where have you been” Her stepmom asked worriedly checking Naomi’s body for any injury,bruise but found none.
Naomi Opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out, like what the hell.
She hadn’t gotten over the shock but immediately she heard a scream she got out of it
“Mom I can’t believe you hugged this thing”Dami said eyeing Naomi irritatedly.
“I will talk about that later, let’s just go in and sleep”.
(Fast Forward).
NEXT MORNING* (Thursday).
Naomi woke up the next morning oddly energized, maybe because she had a good night sleep without any Shout, Scream, Beatings. She bathed, got dressed, and went downstairs and was greeted by a very nice aroma coming from the kitchen then she sauntered slowly there and got the surprise of her life.
HER STEPMOM WAS COOKING.
ok this is getting suspicious.
“Good day mom” Naomi greeted.
“Oh how are you Naomi?” Her stepmom asked.
Instead of giving a response to her stepmom greeting, She asked what was on her mind.
“Is something Wrong” Naomi asked.
“Why do you ask” Her stepmom replies.
“You are acting oddly nice” Naomi Says.
“Oh about that, come closer Naomi” Her stepmom says.
As Naomi steps closer, her stepmom suddenly held both her hands.
“I am sorry for all I have done to you in the past, it’s the devil work and I am apologize on behalf of Dami, am so sorry and I hope you forgive me.
Naomi was taken aback by the apology.
“I Forgive you mom”.
Her Step mom thanked her and was about to talk when Dami interrupted.
“Really mom, you are actually having a heart to heart conversation with this thing” Dami says ignorantly.
“She is not a thing, she is your sis….
“Step sister mom and you(she points at Naomi) even if Mom apologizes and accepts you, I will never” Dami said and furiously walked out of the kitchen.
Suddenly Naomi started perceiving smoke then she came out of her trance to see her stepmom removing burnt egg from the electric cooker and trashing it.
“By the way, where are the things you bought from the market?” Her Step mom asks her.
At that moment Naomi remembers the woman from the market, she rushes up the stairs and got the Card the woman gave her, rushing downstairs she saw her step mom in the same position she left.
“Here” Naomi said handing her the Card.
“What is this” Her stepmom asks but Naomi dragged her to the parlor and narrated the scene from yesterday.”
Well let’s give her a call and see what she wants to say” Her step mom says and dials the number on the Card.
Woman 🗣️: Hello who is this.
Stepmom 🗣️: This is mum of the girl who got your purse from the thief.
Woman 🗣️: Oh yes I remember, Ok Hear me out, the reason why I gave her the Card to give you is because I noticed she wasn’t in school and I want her to attend one of my school in California named Crystal High, this will be a Great opportunity, She can come with her siblings, that’s if she have, you can also come because she will need guidance.. Will she be able too attend..
Step mom 🗣️:(thinks for a minute) Yes ma and Thank you for this opportunity ma’am, we will forever be grateful.
Woman 🗣️: You are lucky you called on time because I will be on my way to California today, you and your family can Follow me. Be ready by 7(she says and cuts the call).
YESS!!!!” Naomi and her stepmom screams.
Suddenly Favor and Dami comes running.
“What’s going on?” Both chorused.
Stepmom Sits them down and narrates everything.
“Finally she has done something good in her life than to oppress and steal my crushes with her body” Dami mutters but enough for all to hear
“Not the time Dami” Favor says.
Suddenly Favor gasps.
“What??” Dami asks curiously.
“Dou u know what this means?” Favor asks facing Dami.
And suddenly they both jumped on the couch and shouts.
“AIR TRIP!!”
In Naomi’s mind
“I may finally meet you my handsome devil, I pray I meet you in California”.
