Rae POV
All my life I have waited to be a senior turns out there is nothing really special about it. My life is still as shitty as it has always been nothing really changed apart from me growing.
No friends, the only friend I had is now gone, I wish it was death that took him away but to think that he doesn't even wanna talk to me any more hurts even more.
My dad left me and my mom when I was a freshman. I just went to school that year and when I was back for the Christmas break my mom took me to a new house and when we got there my dad and neither of his stuff were there when I ask my mom about what happened she said he left. I don't really understand the whole situation because during the summer vacation I was home and as matter of fact all my life I have never ever heard or seen them have a fight. So it was so shocking to hear my mom say he left. I asked her what happened but till date I don't know what really went wrong what broke my family.
2 months after that incident I heard my dad now had a daughter. That was quick I mean 2 month after leaving he already had a daughter????
I asked me mom if she knew about it and she said yes she heard he now has a daughter with some woman.
Questions filled my mind so I decided to ask
"Mom did dad cheat? Is that why y'all no longer together?"
But my mom said now she sees he was cheating but she wasn't aware of it and that wasn't the reason for their separation.
I thought I had finally gotten an answer as to why the separated but turns out I was wrong.
I was a lil excited about having a baby sister somewhere since I was the only child and I always thought maybe as I didn't have friends if at least I had a sibling I would feel better so that made me feel better.
My mom came to my school to see me I didn't know exactly why because it wasn't visiting day yet so I was a lil nervous when the supervisor call me and informed me about my moms presence. I started reflecting on every misconduct I might have had.
I met my mom and she hugged me I hugged her back but I was still nervous.
Then she said my dad had said hello. That made me alil happy but I didn't make it show because there was no intosiasm when she said it.
I received the most shocking news that's day even thinking about it now I got tears running down my cheeks.
The man I called father my only friend my best friend the man I love without measure. The ma. Who treated me like a princess and always had my back was not infact my biological dad.
The worse of it a was that every one knew about from my parents to my grandparents my aunt my uncles my cousin and even my goddamn neighbors knew about it. Every fucking person I know knew about it and I was the last to know.
I don't know if that day I felt anger or sadness I just had mixed emotions I couldn't even cry at that moment because it didn't still sound right in my head. How could my dad not be my dad???
I asked my mom if that was the reason for their separation and she said it wasn't. My life was going down the hill but now I guess I fell into the valley already. As to why my parents separated I don't bother asking anymore cuz it's clear my mom doesn't want to talk about it so I won't ok insist.

So it has been almost 4years now I haven't set my eyes on my dad. Neither have I heard of him or his new family it has just been me and mom ever since I wonder how she is able to continue paying this huge school fee. It's not like we were poor but.... Anyways what's important is I don't lack anything apart from a dad, friend and a goddamn life..right?
Back to this supervisor I wonder why she is yelling
Me: yes ma'am
Supervisor: are you supposed to take your bath now?
Me: No ma'am am sorry
Supervisor: you know the rules and you choose to violate them you know the punishment which awaits you
Me: ma'am am sorry please don't punish me
Supervisor: Go get dressed and clean all the junior classroom
Me: ma'am please...and so sorry it
won't happen again please don't.
Punish me
Supervisor: yes your right after you complete the punishment you won't do it again
I turn my back and head to my dorm.
We are fourteen of us in the dorm so that is we have 7 bonkers in a big room we all change get make and dress up together. At first you may be shy but you'll get used to it.
This wasn't the first time I had gotten punished. that woman just hates me she will punish me for no reason at all
Even if I pleaded for hours she won't relent. There were 7 junior classes and I had to mop them all. In all this I missed prep ( studying time ) as I got done it was already dinner time so I didn't get a chance to go get a bath and change to my campus wear before going to the refectory. Now everyone was gonna know I got punish because of my outfit
PS: Every activity in my school is compulsory failure to be at one will lead to a punishment. This school was strict af. It's either you comply or you get punished and later kicked out of the school.
I sat at my table I was the table captain since I was the senior on the table. After lunch I went straight to the dorm since we have a 40mins free time after dinner before prep time
I went had my bath and changed into my campus wear I thought I was alone at that time in the dorm since every time we have a free time the girls will be in the courtyard mingling with the boys.
I just heard someone call my name I turn around just to see it was the girl who always picked on me
I choose to ignore her cuz I wasn't read for her scene that evening I was exosted from all the work I had done
Her: hey Rae
Me:....
Her: I know we are not really in talking terms but just wanted to know why you got punished?
Me: why? I don't see how it concerns you or why you should care
Her: it's just that I don't see what you did wrong. Am just asking don't take it the wrong way
Me: ohhhh so you always pick on me and make fun of me all the time and now all of a sudden you care? Wow please am not ready for this tonight
Her: Do you know my name?
Me:?????... ( Tbh I don't know her real name just the nick name everyone calls her)
I keep quiet for a while she just staring at me blankly
Me: Mischief???...
Her: no not that I mean my real name?
Me: why are you asking me that? am I supposed to know it now? Or are we friends or something please just gtg out of my side
Her: your so bold to night I have never heard you swear or talk like this..
Me: so you've been monitoring me or something??
Her: I just wanna be friends with you
Me: is this a prank or another way of you trying to humiliate me? No keep you friendship
Her: it's not I really wanna be friends
I just stared at her blankly and moved passed her I grabbed my books and left the dorm. That was weird... After everything she made me go through she wanna be friends she is the reason I don't get friends cuz he humiliattes me at every chance she gets. Am not falling for that.
Am not really a brilliant student I mean not anymore since my dad left I became an average student. He always kept me on top but since he is no longer here I guess just having a pass will do.
I get my biology book and start to draw my diagrams.
All senior students study in the same hall and so goes for the. Rest of the classes.
All my assignments done and it was already prep over time to go to bed I get to the dorm I was last to get in because I was labelling my diagrams
When I enter I get a stare from the girl earlier or should I call her mischief as everyone else does.
I change into my PJs and get on my bed
Tuesday is gonna be a long day
