THE VENGEFUL HEART

Eighteen years been at the orphanage home is really heart breaking. Nobody wants to adopt me... probably because am ugly and chubby.

I don't know why? Am always alone, lost in my own world of tears and broken heart Wondering why my parents abandoned me and now this orphanage home will soon abandon me. Seems am cursed for doom.

"Mary" One of the sister's in charge there called me one day. Maybe she has called to dismiss me...well i have been preparing for this day anyway.

I walked into her office and sat down...with my head lowered, waiting for the bombshell.

"You have been a good girl and a very good fortune to us since the day we found you" Sister Erica said, that's her name...she is the head here.

"Thank you sister" I said with a little smile on my face, waiting patiently for her to spill the reason she called me, rather than beating around the Bush... keeping me on high tension.

"Since you haven't been adopted till this very moment..."

"I will be sent away right?" I immediately interrupted her with tears already finding it's way to my eyes.

I saw her shook her head with a smile on her face.

"It will be so ridiculous for us to do so Mary, well we have planned to send you to Morin high school in other for you to finish your last grade there"

Hearing this my already exhausted face beamed with excitement and smiles.

"What!" I rushed and hugged her.

"Thank you sister Erica" I said hugging her tight to myself while she rubbed my back consoling my tears of joy.

"Remember why we sent you there, go and make us proud Mary. Don't be deceived by the things of the flesh" Those were the advice they gave me the first day I set off for my new school.

"I will make you'll proud" That was my response to them.

I was so excited for my new school, at the orphanage we are been taught there. Since this is my last grade...they decided to send me to school.

My happiness turned into a sad one the immediate time I set foot in Morin high school. The students hated me, they threw tantrums at me telling me to leave their school, because am not fit to be there.

I wanted to give up and dropout but on a second thought I remembered the people who sent me there, their hopes are up high for me.

But among the students in my class, There was one who caught my attention.. you may call it likeness or love at first sight...I don't mind.

What was funny is that he is a very bad boy whom everybody fears and avoid. He kisses and romance his girlfriend Nova in the class all the time.

Such scenes boils my blood so much, you may call it jealousy but I don't care. But who am I to interfere?

Am in no way to be compared with Nova his girlfriend, she is beautiful and curvy...While am chubby and ugly.

But I usually have this fantasy maybe that I will be that Naive ugly girl in stories whom the bad and handsome male lead will have interest on.

"That's so stupid, such a stupid fantasy" My mind will always tell me.

But eventually everything changed just because of this day.

While walking down the hall way going to the cafeteria to have my lunch.As usual students look at me in a mocking way. Well I don't care anymore, am used to it.

"Hey Mary the Virgin!" I heard Nova call me making the students to gather and laugh.

"She will soon conceive by the holy Spirit" One of the students said making the rest to laugh out loud.

I continued walking ignoring them, They were actually right about me been a virgin.

"I'm calling you bitçh" Nova pushed me from the back making me to stagger a little but I didn't fall.

It was as if I was expecting the push.

"What do you want this time Nova?" I slowly asked, I said this time because she is always bullying me.
