Killing booth Chapter 7: MOTHER OR A MUM?
Trying desperately hard not to believe the words of my Principal, I couldn't help but see the physical similarities between her and myself. We looked alike no doubt but different characters, I could bet on that because no matter what the circumstances were I would not leave the child that I gave birth to without casting care on her. Well, it became crystal clear that anybody could be a mother but a Mum is someone who would find all means to take care of you. My Dad was my Mum as well because he took it upon himself to give me both motherly and fatherly love and attention. Getting back to class after receiving one of the greatest shocks of my life, I sat in my seat next to Kate. I could feel Kate's eyes on me expecting an explanation for the sudden meeting I had with the Principal. I couldn't utter a word because I was trying so hard to process the latest development that has just unfolded right before my eyes. I've always wanted to feel my mother's love but I always acted unbothered

It was a new day, Lilian didn't explain what transpired between my Dad and her. She promised to let me know when the time was right. Those words sounded like she wasn't going to let me in on anything but I knew I would find out whatever they were hiding."Jane, I made you breakfast" I could hear Lilian calling from the kitchen. "Thanks for the meal," I said as I hurriedly grabbed them from her. "Have a nice day" I could hear saying as I rushed out to get into the bus. I felt happy having her around it wasn't a bad thing. I took the bus this morning and it felt refreshing, I could swear that this feeling of happiness I was having was going to be permanent. I hummed to the lyrics of Ella Kess's Joyous song, I felt elated. "Hey baby girl," Nick said as he put his hands over my shoulders. "I could feel your aura, the energy seemed different" he laughed. "Don't make fun of me" I said as I walked with him. It was almost the end of the session and we were about to go for the holidays. "Do y

NICK'S POV"Nick get up, you would be late for school" my nanny woke me up. Being the best basketballer was not an easy feat but it has helped me with being popular and loved by most girls.

"Well, it's a dream," I said to myself. In case you do not know me I am Nicholas Santos, you can call me Nick, the guy of every girl's dream.Mondays were not as exciting as every other day, I could say the best time of the week is always Saturdays and I'm sure you can relate.

The first day of being in a new school sucks. Oh! where did we stop? That's right, my Dad had to change my school because of his political ambitions. Dad is running for Senator and that means he could not afford to let his only child taint the good image and his career. I do not want to get any ideas of how awful this new school might be, let me be optimistic that it would turn out fine. "Get up Nick!, we should not be doing this every time you need to be at school'" Linda called. Covering my ears, I screamed, " Can I just drop out of school, it wouldn't be a bad idea, Dad has the money and everything I need to rely on". "You know what I always say, doing what is right shouldn't feel like a punishment". Without a doubt, Linda has always been a source of encouragement for me but right now all I need is to stay out of school. Not to forget, last night was a blast, I had a party with Gil and some of the guys at school where we danced and drank and you could guess Mae was there as well.

JANE'S POV."Again!" I shrieked. It's always the last day of each month, It's been almost a year since this has been occurring, and I found myself here again. It was a dark room with a fireplace serving as the only source of light. Silence filled the room, she would be here soon I thought.Thinking out loud, I said let's get over this scene as it has happened too many times. Before I could think further, she came in wearing a little grin and calling my name.

The Principal reassured us that Mr. Beck was gonna be fine without doubt as he was receiving treatment for the hay fever he was diagnosed with. I knew it wasn't true but who would I have told? Besides, there was nothing I could do. I skipped the rest of my classes just so I wouldn't be reminded of the guilt I'd been feeling."Janie" I heard. It was Mike the homeless man. "Oh!, Mike" I smiled, I gave him the pancakes. "Thanks, Janie" he responded. "Could I sit next to you, I asked"?. Mike had been homeless for almost a decade, I remembered moving into the neighborhood with my Dad when I was six. Rumour had it that Mike murdered his family by setting their house ablaze but there was no evidence to prove he was the instigator. He did survive the fire and was unscathed but no one associated with him.I sat next to him as I bowed my head, sniffing. " A penny for your thought," he said as he offered me some of the
