Chapter 5

A New Beginning

             Kiekie's POV.

I was too numb, to cry! I went to my room  changed my clothes. I was in rush that morning,  so I didn't clean, my room. I quickly cleaned my room. When downstairs to prepare my dinner, since my parents didn't leave me any.

Daddy said, I should make sure, Chuck doesn't get punished. I will  beg Ms. Cary and Mr. McKendry not to have them expelled. I will ask her to change the punishment. Then  I will have to do his punishment, as well as his followers!

I hated my life! I really did hate, my life! I wished back then, I was never BORN!

I quickly prepared myself some potatoes salad and vegetables , and when back to my room to study.

The next day, I went to school early. It was recess. Cleo and I, were at our favorite place, the  library!

Cleo's father and my parents were similar  he believed in choosing his children's career. Cleo's mother was a journalist, she was killed when Cleo was 7 years old. I wished she knew self defense.  Cleo had always admired her mother. Cleo is a writer she had asked me to write my life story, which I  happily agreed to.

She said; my life story will teach others how to become stronger and better both emotional and physically.

Here is it! You are all reading my life story that my best friend had  written.

"Pumpkin." Cleo called.

I just answered with a head shake, because I was so  engrossed in the book I was reading.

"Babe!" She said taking the book away from me. I groaned and gave her a mean look, saying I wasn't happy. But she just smiled at my attitude.

"Now, I have your attention all for  myself." She  said happily.

"Of course you do!" I said rolling my eyes.

"Alright! What I am about to tell you, I  want you to listen, keep that mouth of yours shut! There will be no buts, to what I'm about to tell you!" She said  warning me.

But…

"Shhhh! I said no comment!" She said being serious.

Okay! I agreed. Lord! Please don't allow me, to regret this. I prayed. She gave me a dirty look.

Narrator: And you didn't!🤣🤣😂

Keke: I said SHUT UP!!!!

Narrator: Okay, boss!🤪😜

Keke: Good girl!😁

"Last week, I applied for you to participate in the "modern periodic" distinct competition!"

"WHAT!? WHY? No way!" I said.

"Ah, Uh! We made an agreement, remember? A promise is a promise." She said with her sparkling  gold brown doll eyes. Those eyes are irresistible .

"Do you really love me?" I asked.

"I love you, more than you can imagine. Now, allow me to end what I was  saying." She said.

"Okay." I replied more like a whisper.

"The competition is next week! I wanted to tell you yesterday… but you know… what happened yesterday!" She said sounding sighing.

"The competition was organized by the USA Ambassador  McQueen McCarthy. She want girls in Liberia to be more involved in Chemistry and the sciences. I trust you, and I believe in you! I know that you can, do it. It's time to show the world, the real you! It's time to live up to your dreams! It's time for a new beginning!"

I'm scared, Cleo. I don't want to be bullied by everyone in the district. Please! I pleaded my voice filled with fear. I was on the verge of tears.

"Enough, Kiekie Isabella Johnson!". She said with anger.

I have never seen her that angry at me, except for that day!

Do you want to remain like this, forever? Do you want other to bully you till death? Why do you think so little of yourself? Will you allow your parents words to take effect, in your life? Will you let others to control your subconscious mind for the rest of your life?  Wake up Kiekie!" She said shaking me.

My cheeks were filled with tears.  She was crying as well. I knew I had to listen to my friend, or I will lose the only sister and friend figure; I had in my life.

Please Kiekie.. Please do this!

This might be a chance to show the world that you are not the broken girl they refer to!  This is your chance to show the World the really you! This is your chance to save yourself from hell. See this as a redemption!

There World will never know who your are, until you take a step to make a positive impact. They will never know what you truly are except you get up and show them.

They will only know that this une personne incroyable appelée Kiekie Isabella Johnson existe jusqu'à ce que vous montriez au monde qui vous êtes! ( amazing person called Kiekie Isabella Johnson exist until you show them who you are) .

"Dieu vous a créé d'une manière unique ! Tu es belle, spéciale, intelligente et merveilleuse ! Dieu t'a rendu spécial. Lève-toi Isabella et montre au monde que tu es spécialement faite par Dieu!" She said in français crying.

"There's only one you  on this earth! You can never be them! They can never be you!!! Will you please do this, Kiekie.  Do this for yourself and not for me!" She said though sobs.

I wiped my face, and hers with my other hand.. "I will do it! I will do it, Cleo! I know that  you love me, you will never allow me to get hurt." I said with confidence though sobs.

She gave me a tight hug crushing my bones.

I love you so much Isabella. She said to me looking me my eyes.

"Je t'aime tellement Cléopâtre. Tu es la meilleure chose qui me soit arrivée. Merci beaucoup de m'avoir appris l'amour. Merci beaucoup de m'avoir montré de l'amour et d'être ma sœur et mon amie."

(I love you so much Cleopatra. You are the best thing that have ever happened to me. Thanks you so much for teaching me love. Thanks you so much for showing me love and being my sister and friend.) said and she kissed my forehead.
