Ella pov

5:30am

Arrrrgg arrggg

The sound of my alarm woke me up, I was so tired I really wanted to go back to sleep, but I can't. Why

Because, I was not really excited and it was my first day at sunshine international high school Lagos, one of the popular school in ikeja..

Actually am Ella

Am in my 12 grade

Our family just moved to ikeja during the summer

...

I will continue the introduction when am through

I sluggish stood up from the bed and went down to for our morning devotion.. my father have made it a tradition in our house to have a morning devotion before any other thing by 5:30..... By the time I got to the last stairs of my house. behold my parents where already in parlour side waiting patiently for us...

"Woah woah , woah, see who we got, I was about to come wake you up from your dreams... By the way you are just in time for the morning devotion.. Bit before then how was your night rest?? My dad said moving to the sofa that his favorite sit in the parlour...

"Dad good morning, mom good morning, and my night rest was awesome what about you? I replied taking my sit in a three in one sofa beside my dad

"Good morning my darling are you dear" she asked

"mom good morning, dad good morning " Jude greeted as he made his way in a two in one sofa my mom was sitting on.. Actually Jude is my elder and only brother and sibling I have.

We are four in the family, so there is enough love and attention for everyone on the house

After the morning devotion I had to sit for a long advice from my mom, you know when you are admitted to a new school and you are going there for the first time, or maybe you are trying something new, surely a Nigerian mother must always advice and the worst of it all is that she will now say "I don't really have much to say" or maybe something like that and she will than take more than 30mins saying something that she don't have much to say.. Lolz very funny..

So my mom d advice me but thank God it was not much maybe because if she did am going to be late on my first day of school..

I quickly went up...

I went to bathroom, undress and went inside my bathtub, on the warm and cold water tap and started smiling... I was imagining how my school is going to be...

I finished, grab my brush and went to the mirror stand, smiling at my beautiful self..

I have a slim face with a little point nose and a beautiful small nose to match my beautiful face

my skin is flawless and beautiful..

coming out of the bathroom, I cleaned up admiring my beautiful uniform which was on my little sofa on my room...

checking the time I discovered that I have been in the bathroom for about 40mins

I immediately, rub my body lotion, my face lotion. I always take good care of my skin, but I know I wouldn't have done it without my mom's help she make sure I have the best cream, she always takes good me... I just love her for that.....

I went to where my uniform was kept, which was well ironed by my big bro Jude.. my family make sure I look neat and beautiful in my first day ...

immediately I dress, I look at myself on the mirror, my teeth once more, smile, took my new bag...

went to the mirror again, smiling at my myself. before

"Ella Ella, do u want to be late, you know your dad is having an appointment by nine and his is going to drop you first before going, pls don't waste our precious time pls" my mom shouted... yeah before that happen...

"okay mom, I will be there in a sec" I shouted back.

and I took a last look at myself before heading downstairs...

I went to the dinning table and ate the food prepared for my mom

"gently bea, don't rush, before you choke and most especially don't stain your uniform " my dad said taking his briefcase from my mom " wow you look beautiful, " he continued

I just smiled..

I just love my dad her the opposite of my mom, so gentle and calm....

I finished eating, clear my table, and inside my dad's car....

"mom, bro bye" I said as my dad starts his car

"take good care of yourself, and make sure you be a good girl and do not indulge in any fight, do you understand. " my mom said

"okay ma"

"that's my girl "

I don't understand, why my family treats me like a little girl, but I love it though

I smiled as my dad drove out of the compound....
