"You wretch!!, you are still pretending, bastard!!. Who do you think you can fool, stupid girl. If you don't stand, I'll beat you to death!!. You think I'm joking, ohhh, I've been too lenie..."
"Mom!! I'm not sure she's pretending!" Mrs Sharon's daughter said in fear.
"Hm..ehm..Ro..Ros..i.s...." She stuttered in deep fear of the consequences.
"Mom, let's just go. At least no one would know are the cause of it. And, it would even be more better if she dies!" Carolina said.
They both hurried out before anyone found them with Rose.
Rose, the seemingly dead person, slowly rose up from the floor, smirked and went to freshen up...
" Roseee!!! " Kikky shouted from afar. They were at school and Rose wasn't fazed, because this has been happening for years.
She simply smiled and opened her arms to hug her.
"Rose, why is your face pale??" Kikky asked in concern.
"is it your...." Kikky asked and Rose understood even without her completing the sentence. She nodded and Kikky got angry.
"Oh, those wicked family! Rose, let's sue them. I will help you!" Rose shook her head.
"No, no, don't worry. Everything will be fine soon" Rose said.
"Okay then, let's go to our class" They held hands and walked together.
Unfortunately for Kikky as always, they had chemistry in the morning. She was bleeding internally before she remembered.
"Ahhhh!! Rose, Rose please help mee" Kikky pleaded.
"With what" " With my assignment!" Kikky quickly answered her.
Rose chuckled as she watched her friend's anxious face.
"No worries. What are we friends for?" Rose said.
Kikky quickly copied the assignment into her book. When she was finally done, they both sighed in relief. Because the chemistry teacher was very strict.
Once the bell rung at the end of the day, students cheered and ran home. This was a common norm in all schools. Rose smiled as always and then went with Kikky.
But Rose didn't head home, she went to the supermarket where she was working. She asked Kikky to cover up for her by calling her step-mom and telling her that she's in her house.
Mrs Sharon couldn't be happier.
After the days activities finally ended, Rose headed to her house. She was very exhausted as she entered Kikkys mansion. She was familiar with the place. She greeted Kikky's parents and then went to Kikky's room. She freshened up and completed her assignment. She also urged Rose to do hers too.
The next morning, Kikky's mom called Rose to have a very important discussion with her.
"Rose, you know we know what you are going through. So we have a solution." Kikky's mom started.
"You can live with us from today onwards. You ve become part of our family."
"Wh...a..what..!!" Rose screamed, then started crying
" Thank you very much ma, I really appreciate, thank you sir, thank you ma"
"Okay that's enough" Kikky's dad said. " Please do not disappoint us. And don't be lead astray in school. Be the good girl you have always been"
"Absolutely sir. Yes sir. Oh sir thank you very much"
Rose and Kikky missed school cause of the news.
Rose was happy, she felt on top of the world. When she thought the heavens forgot her, They seemed to remember her, in fact, favour her.
She felt so grateful and she gave the glory to God.
