College

Aleeyna sat by her window as usual on a Sunday evening after the church service she held her favorite book in her hand as she read the words off the book.

 This was her routine for quite a long time, stuck up alone in her room,only when she was needed downstairs by her aunt or at breakfast ,lunch and dinner.

 she found comfort in the walls of her room away from prying eyes away from the world.

 She shut her eyes slowly fro a brief moment to think of her solemn life when a knock came on her door.

 "Aleeyna mom wants you at dinner"She heard her cousin,maliah yell and soon her steps faded away.

 Aleeyna clung unto her black hoodie as she spilled into her flipflop heading downstairs to have what so ever prepared by her aunt.

 "Evening aunt"Aleeyna barely said in a whisper as she walked to the kitchen counter.

 "Evening darling,are you done reading the book bishop john gave to you?" Mrs gilbert asked carrying the plates,heading to the dinning.

 Aleeyna wanted to say no because she didn't need some written sermon by her pastor but to please her aunt she said "not quite finished aunt"

 "That's splendid child go on and seat your cousins will be down with you soon" Mrs gilbert said ad Aleeyna quietly sat down.

 Soon her cousin brother Ramsay walked down the stairs his hands tucked in his pocket ad earpiece in his ears bounced to the dinning and then sat opposite Aleeyna.

 "hey Ramsay" Aleeyna said and he looked up at her removing the plugs.

 "oh Aleeyna sorry I didn't hear you,how you doing??" He asked as if they Weren't both living in the same house ,well she couldn't blame him she barely showed much of her self in the house.

 maliah came down the stairs majestically in a short slim skirt and a crop top with waist bead luming around her slinger waist. she has the perfect curves not as perfect as Aleeyna 

 "Maliah you know dad will be angry if he sees you dressed like a prostitute on a night duty!"Ramsay said he was quite Frank with his words 

 " Take it back brother if not you'll regret!!!"Maliah flared up 

 "or what you can't do anything so better go change that dress or ....?"Ramsay was saying but his father walked just in time.

 Mrs gilbert quickly walked out of the kitchen with the last item and placed them on the table.

 " No fights at the dinning, sit!"Mrs Gilbert said as calm as she could and maliah sat down not after sticking her tongue out to her brother.

 Mr gilbert sat down on the chair which was facing them all while Mrs gilbert sat by the chair right close to him.

 "shall we pray?" He said and they all closed their eyes bowing their heads.

 "oh Mary mother of Jesus do bless and sanctify this food in the blood of Jesus" Mr gilbert said and they all muttered an amen.

 Dinner began and Aleeyna just focused on her meal the all time she wanted to escape back to her room the disappointing eyes her uncle had given her years back still plastered in her head as she sat close to him thou he wasn't looking right at her she could tell he still had a little dent of disappointment In his eyes,as much as he tried to hide it,he was going to become a parish then but because of her stupid mistake he was bought down back and had to work hard all the way back up.

 "you were having a talk with bishop john honey what was the talk about??" Mrs gilbert finally broke the silence off.

 Mr gilbert sighed before replying "It was about Aleeyna" He said and Aleeyna looked up to him. "He suggested we enrol her and maliah in college since she's improved quite a lot " Mr gilbert said.

 "omg am going to college!!!" Maliah squeaked.

 "pipe down maliah" Ramsay said and maliah composed her self .

 "That's a great idea honey ,you know I spoke with Aleeyna therapist the other day she said the same thing a change environment would be good for her health" Mrs gilbert said.

 "always about Aleeyna" Maliah muttered to everyone hearing.

 "When do they start have you picked a school already?" Mrs gilbert asked.

 "Ramsay college it would be good he'll be able to keep an eye on the girls and protect them" Mr gilbert said and then regretted his words it was like opening fresh wounds.

 "At California??" Ramsay said and Mr gilbert nodded he didn't want to say anything else.

 "where my celebrity crush lives omg dad thanks !!!" Maliah once again lost her manners.

 "thank you uncle" Aleeyna muttered nicely.

 "its alright, girls prepare your things you'll be leaving by next week" Mr gilbert said.
