ne thing I've been afraid of since I was young was ghosts but now standing here with the light flicking it felt like it was time to face my fear then someone touched me then I turned to meet his gaze,
' Philipino' I called out with irrigation in my voice,
'Hi babe I see you have not forgotten me' he said as he smirked then he moved forward and I took two steps backwards.
With snap of his fingers his boys came out of there hiding spots
'Philipino, what do you want' I asked as I felt anger move through my veins.
' you are asking me wat I want babe, ok ' he said as he noded his head dramatically
' ok should I remained you ' he said with a rather low provoking tune
Anthea's P. O. V
Walking down stairs I mistakingly bump into someone
' hey young lady will you watch were you are going you are this young and you are lost in thought when you are old what will you do' the old lady said with distaste in her voice
'Am really sorry ma' I apologized but she didn't wait for me to complete my statement she left I signed and left
On my way home I met philipino and his friends they are known to be bullies since our creche
'Heyyyyyyyy Anthea it's been long I've seen your pretty face'
'Philipino what do you want ' I asked trying to hide the irrigation in my voice
'You baby, I want you' he asked slightly biting his lower lips seductively and the winked ' he said moving close to me as I walked backwards be came forward I kept waking until my back bet with a tree he used one of his fingers to raise my face so that our eyes will meet then he spoke
' I will make you mine that's a promise '
' if this is how you were thought to ask someone out then you didn't learn well ' I said with anger and slapped his hand off my face
' I will think about it so now will you excuse me' I pushed him aside and walked away
Flash back over.
'Fuck' I cursed under my breath I could I have forgotten something that
'Oh know I see you have remembered so are you mine'
' Philipino ' I called out
'You know this isn't necessary I mean I don't even like you not to talk of dating you' I spoke to him hoping he would understand.
'Am sorry love but you will have to learn' then he grabbed my arm as he tried to kiss me I don't know where I got the strength form but all I knew was my right leg lifted and the next thing I heard was
' ahhhhhhhhhh ' he screamed out in pain
'Boys get het' he said with pain and anger in his voice I know if I was caught God only knows what will stop me from being barbecued
'Ok Anthea it's time to run' I reminded myself the I took to my heels with four boys chasing me I never knew I could run this fast I ran towards the park I hide under the slide.
'Where is she' one of the boys asked
'Philipino will kill us if we don't find her, boys look around find her' one of the guys said they looked around checked every where when they got to were I was hiding it felt like Olympus has fall I can literally hear my heart beat here then I started shivering it feels like am getting home today with swollen face
'She is not here Jimmy ' when I heard this I let out the breath I never knew I was holding.
As they left I felt like taking a walk around the park, I came out and started walking as I was about to make a u turn I heard a faint voice
'Help' I looked around trying to figure out if I was imagining things but then the voice came again
'Help' the voice sounded like it really needed help I started walking to were I heard the voice
'Help' this time I turned to my left and saw someone lying down on the floor I quickly ran to him and this time it seemed like he was about to pass out
'Hey, hey stay with me I checked inside my bag pack and brought out water
'Drink this' I asked him he open his mouth and I poured a little about into it as he drank it he finally passed out
I brought out my bandana poured a little water on it and used it to clean his wounds and I watched him
After what seemed like forever he woke up
'The wounds are not dip, but then how did u sustain them' I asked but instead of a reply he stood up dusted his shirt
'Thank you' that was he said and started walking away,
'like seriously I've met too many mute people today ' then I looked at the time it was past eight
'Fuck mum will surely scold me' thinking about mum I don't know why but am feeling uneasy, I just have to go home
As I got to the door my hands started shaking
'Don't worry Anthea mum won't make a big deal out of it's I assured myself as I walked in, the lights were off my mum would never sleep if am not in the house
'Mum! Mum!! ' when I didn't get a respond I on the light what I saw was heart breaking
