C2 Chapter 2

Crying hard as she met with the bathroom floor she didn’t care what and how the place she was seated looked if there was water or if it was soiled and dirty she just was hurt he had once again humiliated her even before she made an attempt to making him see what she could offer to him.

But what could she offer? He was a rich man’s son and they owned a great share at the school so he could get away with anything because their money spoke for them and there would be nothing she could say even if he made her walk naked because of how the discrimination was eminent on her part.

What was she thinking? Celine didn’t know how long she had been in there but she had herd the school bell ring signaling it was first period over.

“Dang it I missed Mrs. Philips class I am in big trouble it would affect my grades” she chimed as she ran to the sink and tried to make herself look presentable.

As she left the bathroom she heard a ping on her phone and it was Eleanor asking where she was.

She quickly responded as to where she was at the moment then.

Boom!!

She screamed and Eleanor laughed at how she had skipped before she realized Celine’s laughter ended just where it wanted to she wasn’t smiling to reach her eyes.

“Celine what happened?” Eleanor asked her but she brushed it off saying it was nothing.

“Celine you know me too well ill cough it out of you if you do not tell what the effing fuck is wrong with you and why does your hair look rumpled and why do your eyes scream tears?” Eleanor asked lifting her head up, but the questions had not finished leaving her mouth until she heard Mrs. Philips speak from behind.

“Celine I didn’t see you in class and I hope you know that will have an impact on your grades and you wouldn’t graduate at the end of the school year because of carry overs if you continue this okay?” Mrs. Philips said before she moved forward as though she had not said anything.

“You missed class? How can you afford to do that now Celine this is our chance of getting good grades before we have a bright future at our dream company, why would you joepardise that sis?” Eleanor asked.

She had always been the mother figure between the both of them and now her mother hen wings had opened as she wanted to know what happened.

She was that one friend who would always be there for those she loved and in this case Celine was her only friend, and sister and she loved her more than anything this world if that was fair to say at the moment.

“Tell me what the hell did he do to you?” she asked.

“He embarrassed me and I…I “she said with hiccups”.

“Just let it be don’t bother yourself you would be fine, let’s talk when we get home” Eleanor said.

They went to the class together and attended the rest of the class for the day together. After school they both went home.

They got to the house showered and like they always do, they were about preparing their lunch together bit Eleanor insisted on making it herself. She knew her friend was very sad and gave her time to rest. " go, go to the living room and take a nap to clear your head while I cook" Eleanor winked, "what would I ever do without you, I love you, you know? " Celine irresistibly rushed to the living room .

Eleanor prepared Spaghetti and chicken within thirty minutes, served it in a plate and brought it for the both of them to eat, they were used to eating together.

They ate quietly and hungrily and when they were done, Eleanor offered to take care of the dishes.

in less than no time she was done with the dishes and she came to sit down with her friend.

"Celine" Eleanor called out softly what happened today? Celine began to sob, " take your time " Eleanor patted her back.

"Is it a crime to love? " "No " Eleanor answered.

"Am I ugly? " "of course you are stunningly beautiful and any great guy would be honoured to be with you" Eleanor assured her.

"Today I walked out of the class because I saw Roland coming in and I wanted him to notice me" , "he laughed hard at my hair and called it a hyena style", "he even ripped my ribbon of my hair" "and he made his friends laugh at me too".

"and you know what? " "what? " Eleanor asked. He told me to never make any effort to look beautiful that I'll always remain an ugly ass.

"Eleanor am I ugly? Celine has started to cry again. " Of course you know you are not! " Eleanor yelled, "You are very beautiful", "your beauty is so gracing and I think any guy that can't see this has some issues with himself"

"I really don't know why I have to go through this", "I mean why can't he see that I love him?", "oh he does see but why can't he respect my feelings", "why does he have to make jest of my feelings"Celine sobbed.

"Why am I the unlucky one?" "I lost parental love at an early stage", "my foster family hated me and now this?" "Why has God decided to deprive me of love? " "Why?" "She busted out into uncontrollable tears.

"Of course you know that's a lie", Eleanor held her closely to herself. "I love you so dearly and I'm here for you", "Please do not let this break you like this", "you are a sweetheart heart and you'll find a guy that loves and values you for who you are ""okay"?

Celine was crying and could not stop, Eleanor rocked and kissed her head till she fell asleep.
