'The Girl with the Golden Mask'

Hi, my name is Zarina

I come from a Christian family well both parents pastors

Being a child of both pastors can be quite stressful not in the hard way but more when everyone has a high expectation from you.

Well, this is a story about myself, a girl who has always loved dreaming and wishing all her wishes comes to life especially for her family “yes that's me”.

Before this story continues, how many of us hate Monday morning? it just can’t be me alone

Well another beautiful Monday morning the sun rises, the birds singing while I am crying my ass out pleading for another weekend which will never happen. What a life!

I could literally hear my mum purposely making some noise in the kitchen just to get me up the bed.

Hi, mum good morning

Good morning dear, how was your night? my mum asked

It was fine just that I had some terrifying dreams which got me up and one of them was that it's another Monday morning.

Oh dear don't feel that way, don't worry once u get to school and meet your friends I bet u will be ok and happy.

Only if my mum knew how I am in school “oh did I forget to mention am friendless” I thought to myself.

Anyway once my mum was done I got ready and we were on our way to my school. Only the sight of the school gate gave me the creeps. I just had to tell myself we are here and there, no turning back.

My mum dropped me and I went straight for the assembly ground, we were done with assembly and we marched to our classes.

At this point I really don't want to go to class but I have to. It turned out that today had a plan of its own installed for me. After a few of our classes our HT, also known as the head teacher, came to our class with a few students and they were three in number, two girls and a boy. “The girls are beautiful and so is the boy” I thought to myself, I wonder if they are siblings.

The head teacher started by greeting us. Good morning students, how are u doing today? Well, you will be having some new members in your class today, please can you start by introducing yourselves.

The boy went first: my name is Alexander,

The first girl: my name is Lucy

The second girl: my name is Daisy

The head teacher told them to find a seat and they found one right in front of me.

Hi, I am Lucy, what's your name? I turned around to check if she was talking to someone behind me, I looked around where I was seated. It turned out I was the one she was talking to. It felt weird “because I was always treated as an outcast because I'm fat” I thought to myself.

Yeah, I am Zarina. wow that's an interesting name she said and ( this is my sister) she pointed to her right, hi i'm daisy nice to meet u. Yeah, nice to meet you too.

After our classes we went for a short break. I got to talk to the girls a few more and that was when princess Aurora decided to show up and I knew it was because of me I knew it already.

Hi girls, my name is Aurora or u can call me princess, I can see u finally found yourself some friends Zarina or should I say fat.

Hey aurora or whatever you are called, u can see we were in a middle of discussion before u came out of nowhere, please can u kindly bounce out of here and never call my friend that again Lucy said, I was shocked as thou being poured with cold water because no one had stood up for me in this school whenever aurora begins her drama.

Whatever Aurora said and left to meet alexander who was sitting opposite us did i forget to mention he is good looking with his brown eyes, pink lips and flawless skin I bet he is from another country. Oh Zarina focus, don't get distracted I said to myself. Hey Zarina, Daisy said I would love a tour around the school. sure of course I said and showed them around school and some of my quiet places I go to just to get some peace and quiet.

Wow, the school is nice. Thank you for showing us around, you are welcome, I said.

The bell rang and we all headed to our classes, the classes came to an end after a few lessons and after that we headed home but while walking to the car I felt some eyes piercing into my soul and it turned out to be alexander standing watching I felt uncomfortable but I kind of waved it off as thou it had no meaning I was tired and wanted to go home and rest.
