WORLD APART - CHAPTER 37&38
MONTHS LATER…
The weather was dark and the clouds heavy with rain. Nuella walked slowly on the streets searching for where to beg food. She had left the house of the Robinsons after Ms Jackie’s husband Frank requested to sleep with her.
She couldn’t afford to lose something precious to a married man,one she don’t know nor have feelings for.
As she walked endlessly the rain began to drizzle and strings of cold penetrated her body. She started turning white,she broke into a semi run looking for a shelter.
She got to a restaurant and stopped staring at the a particular family who were eating happily. A blur scene flashed in her head and her head began hurting. She held her head as it began vibrating.
A car was coming towards her blowing it’s horn but she stood there since she didn’t know what was happening to her. An inch closer to hit her a hand grabbed her and pulled her out of the road,the sound from the car brake made her regain consciousness. The rain started falling heavily as thunderstorms were heard in the sky. She was shivering cause cold was biting her up.
The person who grabbed her pulled her into a run and she followed without obligations. The winds blew deeply into her chest and she was almost freezing cause of the cold.
They got to a closed stall and waited behind. Nuella’s hair were scattered on her wet face,her hands vibrated.
“Hey take this” The person said giving her his jacket.
She collected it and put it on.
“Thank you” she said.
“I’m Harry and you?”
“I’m… I’m Nuella” she said.
“Where are your parents or guardians,why should a little teen like you be left to rumble on the road?”
“I don’t have parents, I’m alone”
“How?” He asked curiously.
Nuella explained to him in total.
“Oh my, I’m so sorry for that. It’s a difficult situation for one to lose the memory” He sympathized.
“I know” she bowed her sadly.
“And you?” Nuella asked.
“Oh me” He laughed.
“Actually I’m a teen hustler,I strive daily to get my daily meal”
“How?”
“I take people’s stuffs” He said.
“You mean you steal?” Nuella asked as her eyes widened.
“I don’t steal,I just take” He smirked.
“What about your parents,are they the ones who asked you to take people’s stuffs?”
“Nah!! I lost my parents long time ago. I’m working for a notorious criminal,a man who’s known for his good work but he’s a sheep in wolf clothing” He paused and continued.
“He destroyed my life…” He sniffed.
“It’s okay,I didn’t mean to make you remember your scars” she patted his back.
“Since you don’t have where to stay i think it’s better you allow me take you to my boss rather than walking alone on this lonely streets”
“You want me to join you in burglary?” She asked with puppy eyes.
“Do you have a choice?”
She bowed her head.
CROWN COLLEGE
Davvy and Silver walked hand in hand strolling to the cafeteria. Students murmured as they passed by them but the two love birds gave no attention to it.
When they got to the cafeteria all eyes was on them. Kimberly almost fainted when she saw them,her face was red and fuming with anger.
Ray and Brave stared in amusement, they weren’t expecting such from Davvy. The two love birds sat on a round table,and a host came to attend to them.
“Bunny what do you want to have?” Davvy asked romantically.
“Anything you’re having” She replied.
He smiled.
“Get us two plates of spaghetti bolognese,some salads and two cans of lemonade” He ordered.
The host returned with the food and served them,they fed each other and that sight got everyone awing.
Kimberly was boiling in anger and jealousy. She stood up from her seat and walked to them. Davvy ignored her presence and she almost died!!
“Davvy what’s the meaning of this? Why are you associating yourself with this disgusting brat ,this tout…” Kimberly mocked.
“Shut it up ?îtçh,one more word from you then I’ll have you rusticated from this school” Davvy thr_@tened.
“Davvy it’s me your gf,why have you fallen so cheaply for this unvalued pig?”
A slap came across her face and she held her cheek tightly.
“This should be the last you should open your filthy trash to lay abuses on me, I’ve had enough of your insolence attitude and I won’t tolerate more,so be warned” Silver enunciated with anger in her voice.
“Davvy did she just slap me?” Kimberly wondered.
“That serves you right next time attain someone respects!!”
“I will make sure you cry out blood begging me to spare your lives, Davvy you dared betrayed me uh? Get ready cause the battle line has been drawn!!!” She spit out and walked out of the cafeteria,her two clowns followed suit.
“Empty thr_@ts” Davvy said and continued eating.
Davvy and Silver’s friendship suddenly grew into an unexpected relationship. The lovebirds made the students wonder what sought of love they had fallen into.
Edward’s Estate
The loud volume of the TV disturbed the eardrums of Richard and the silent neighborhood. Sasha was seated on the couch with a pack of popcorn and glass of juice by her side. She was watching a TV program and she increased the volume to the highest which caused noise pollution.
She brought out a pack of cigarette,picked out one and lit it. She drew a long straw of smoke into her lungs before releasing it out.
Richard pushed his wheel chair to the sitting room to meet Sasha.
“Sasha!! Sasha!!” He called but she didn’t respond cause she couldn’t hear him.
He went closer to the TV and unplugged it directly, everywhere went silent.
“Sasha are you insane,what sought of noise are you creating uh,this is a neighborhood for goodness sake we have neighbors around us” He said.
“How dare you turn off the TV,have you gone nut? And who cares if I disturb the neighborhood or not. You should better mind your business or else I’ll injure you” She smirked.
“Sasha you are smoking cigarettes in my house”
“So? Richard and so,would you beat me,you that can’t even stand up from that chair” She mocked.
“Sasha are you talking to me?” His eyes burning with fury.
“Who are you? Richard the crippled” Her loud laughter echoed around the house. Richard’s eyes were widened in surprise.
