All Chapters of Me #1: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Have you ever watched those Natgeo Wild documentaries' about a lion and a gazelle. How they stalk their prey before pouncing. At this moment I felt like the gazelle, scared helpless and anxious.The lions were Joseph and Daniel. They didn't move, they just stared and for some reason I was frozen. I'd read Wattpad novels a few times and I'd read of characters freezing up.Wattpad is filled with lies. They never mentioned how awkward it was, how a million thoughts were flooding in your mind at the same time as none. It was awful. Finally Joseph looked away, rolling his eyes before storming out of the hall.It was just me and stereo boy. His dark brown eyes were fixated on me, watching, analyzing, waiting. Deciding to follow on Joseph's footsteps, I hurriedly picked up my book and made for the back door."Kolupo." He called out my name quietly, as if he hoped I wouldn't hear him. Coming to a halt, I whirled aroun

You know that movie, 'a quiet place', that part when the dad and the boy froze on their way back from fishing, no? well, I seemed to be the old man about to scream. I just called myself an old man, wow, and my parents were the dad and the boy.There was this silence that took over the room. No movement, nothing. My eyes were locked with the hardened eyes of my mother. Then they softened, she had probably realized what was happening here. Her little daughter had just witnessed her cruelly threaten her husband and almost walk out on both of them.Then out of no where, my mother drops to the floor and breaks out in loud sobs. For a while I stood there, just watching in confusion before I walked to my mother, dropped to my knees and hugged her. "Mummy, please don't cry. Please don't leave us, we need you."My mother went rigid as I uttered those words and for a second I was scared, then she pulled away from the embrac

It was almost 9:32 and in exactly 3 minutes, the Gauntlet of Grace choir would mount the alter. We were rehearsing our latest ministration, the song was called 'Oceans' by Hillsongs. I'd fallen in love with the song the moment I first listened to it, Annie as I liked to call her was the one who first gave me and after a few weeks I was sure we'd sing it in church.We were currently praying and my hands were locked with Oden and Jessica, both were new members of the choir and had amazing voices which I was totally jealous of, something I told them on a daily basis. And today, like almost every Sunday, Jessica and Oden would hold the best microphones whilst another of us would be randomly picked to be the third mic holder.I was the third, and funny enough I wasn't freaking out. Let me tell you a little secret of mine, I was terribly afraid of performing in front of crowds or pretty much any amount of people, not even my parents, in short

Imagine the shocked and confused look that would have taken place on my face the moment my best friend who was previously being consoled by my crush minutes ago yelled at me, calling me a "Liar and Wicked." Well I wasn't in fact confused at all, I knew exactly what she was implying and why I was wicked. I'd promised Reen that I wouldn't let anyone beat her even though I was fully aware that, that was totally impossible. I just did it to keep her from whining and groaning about how the beating would be painful. Yes, Reen was that kind of person. I atleast hoped that I'd keep a few people away and tell her I tried. But it wasn't my fault that she was MIA the whole morning. What did she expect me to do, search the school for her? That seemed like what a normal friend would do, our friendship wasn't normal, so she shouldn't expect normal things. I know that didn't make sense but I needed an excuse to keep Reen from being mad at me
