"Sis, wake up, it's late" a voice yelled disturbing my peaceful sleep.
I turned over the bed squeezing my pillow over my face.
"Please leave me, just two more hours" I muttered
" Sis!!!, It's past eight" the voice yelled again and I jumped up immediately.
" Sh*t" I cursed silently scrambling out of bed.
"What the h*ck Jason, why didn't you wake me on time" I groaned walking towards my bathroom.
" I did, but you were all *two more hours please* " Jason replied in a mocking tone.
" I'll get you later, just go get ready" i replied and shut the bathroom door before he could utter a word.
"I already did, waiting for you to let me get out of the house" he yelled back.
" Give me ten" I yelled back and turned on the shower.
I quickly had my bath.
I got out of the bathroom about ten minutes later, applied my lotions , put on my clothes, a white big tee shirt, and faded blue boyfriend Jean.
I sat on my bed and tied my lace.
I glanced at the wall clock.
"Gosh!, I'm 35 minutes late, Mrs C is gonna cut off my head for sure" I muttered grabbing my school bag which was left open, I hurriedly placed my phone into the bag and zipped it.
I was about walking out of the room when I realized I was still on my hair bonnet.
"Gosh, what the heck is wrong with me today, first I woke up late , now I forgot to comb my hair" I groaned inwardly
I quickly rushed to my dresser , removed the bonnet and combed my hair neatly.
I applied my hair lotion and packed it in a ponytail leaving two tendrils by both sides of my head.
I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied by my looks I bolted out of my room.
"Finally" Jason groaned when I got to the living room.
"Had breakfast?" I asked walking into the kitchen.
"Yes, I left some toasts for you" he replied.
I nodded and opened the refrigerator, I took out a cup and a jar of orange juice, poured myself one cup and gulped it down at a go.
"Common let's go" I said shutting the door.
"We haven't prayed yet" he gave me a frown.
We said the Lord's prayer .
"We are so late" I muttered as we got into a cab.
"Not my fault" he muttered
Yeah, that's just basically how we live.
My parents had died in an accident three years ago and the 14year old me was left with a nine year old Jason, and our mini apartment.
Since then I have been trying to make ends meet all alone, my mother's relative had helped when my parents just died but immediately I turned sixteen it was just me and Jason.
It hasn't been easy but with God's Love we have been able to live comfortably.
"Okay now Jason, bye , you might probably not meet me at home , so here's the key" I said when he got out of the cab.
I handed him the key.
"Okay sis, bye" he blew me a kiss and walked into the school.
" Let's go sir" I said to the cab man.
He nodded and drove off towards my college.
I'm just so happy that I got a scholarship in college and most things I need are taken care off , if not , I don't know what might happen
Some hours later.....
"Girl you are so lucky Mrs C didn't see you" Nora said immediately we got into the school cafeteria.
