"What!! This is already six! I'm dead!! I need to hurry up now!" Said a voice and soon hurried up for school.
This voice belonged to Ella ,a young girl who was already in the tertiary level in School,she was 19 years of age and she has a tale to share.
**** After lectures***
Ella was walking back home ,she was certain that she would be buried in multiple of chores when she got home .
Ella lost her mother at the age of ten and her dad had to marry another wife named Evelyn in order to take care of Ella but if he knew best ,he should not have ever done such as its results were devastating.

" Ella! Ella! Ella!" A voice called
Ella finally came back to her senses,or was her best friend, Joyce that called her .
"Ella, you have started again, drifting into your own world again huh! Now tell me,what's it this time around?" Joyce asked.
" It's nothing serious, just thinking " Ella said
" Okay,if that be the case, just know that I am always available for you to lean on, okay " Joyce said.
" Thanks joyce your are indeed a friend " Ella replied.
The duo walked the rest of the journey home together, both chatting when someone approached them.
" Hey ladies!" Henry said
"Henry!!" Ella screamed
" Henry, it's been a long time since I saw you right?" Joyce asked
" Yeah, he travelled for some family reasons, all those family reunion sh*t ,you know. So he told me he wouldn't be around for some weeks". Ella replied proactively
" Oh, so that explains why I haven't been seeing you for some time now . So are you back here or you will be going back again?" Joyce asked redirecting her question back to Henry.
" I am back,I have dealt with the reason I had to leave,so I am back here for good and I am not leaving my baby's sight again " he said facing Ella " baby,tell me you didn't miss me much " he asked holding her hands
" What did you just say? What do you mean?
I seriously missed you ,I was just soo bored due to your absence,hope you won't travel so long again?" Ella said and poutted her lips
" Okay, I promise I won't travel so long again" Henry said and planted a light kiss on her lips
" Hmm, you guys should know a single lady is here and you guys are not alone here or,I am still here" Joyce said jokingly
" Sorry, madam Joyce ,you should know it's all this little riffraff here" Ella said
" Ella! You called me a riffraff! Then let's see about that" Henry am said and immediately carried Ella and gave her but a light smack
" Ahh! Henry,stop it ! I am sorry!! " She pleaded
" Henry, come-on,this is a public place, stop it ,save her discipline for another time" Joyce said and gave a light chuckle
After a lot of efforts made by both Joyce and Ella to bring her down was all futile.
