Hey guys! Another Update ☺

**

I woke up, hoping to be back in my bedroom or something but nope I was still on the bench with a mosquito net above me, and a blanket covering me. Wow I don't remember having a mosquito net at all. And the blanket doesn't look like mine at all.

I quickly sat up and looked around. I stood up and got my box, where was I going to bath? I was hoping to go to a hotel and stay for like a week or something but the money I had wasn't even enough.

Maybe I should buy a tent. So I did. I went to the supermarket and bought one. I saw a Bible on the cashier in the supermarket but did my best to ignore it.

God didn't tell my parents not to kick me out of the house so why on earth should I pay attention to him?! I shouldn't even care about him again since he doesn't care about me.

So I left the supermarket with my tent. And headed back to my new home, the bench place. I set up my tent close to the bench and put my box inside. I felt empty, things weren't right at all. It was like there was a pit in my heart. I just felt bad.

I'd been living like that for weeks, turning into months. I was gradually becoming a mad woman, my money had run out and all I could do was to sit on the bench and plait people's hair (simple styles E.g all back, suku etc) for Five hundred naira, then braiding for one thousand naira. But even the money I earned wasn't enough. Most nights I slept without eating, and even in the morning, I didn't eat.

I knew I was becoming disfigured, very thin though still tall, but even my rib cage were becoming visible. Things changed for me. Until one day, whilst I was plaiting a girls hair, a woman came by.

"Lolade, are you done with your hair?" She asked the girl. The girl shook her head and turned to her twin "Bolade can I see your phone? I want to play temple run, I left mine at home" the twin shrugged and handed her the phone.

"Em... Please do the hair well." I nodded. Once I was done with the both of them, the girls stood up, and walked to the car whilst the woman stayed back to talk to me.

"How are you?" She asked me. I stared at her... "I'm fine...no I'm not fine, I can't lie, I'm not fine at all" she gave me a look, seeming to think. "So how is your mama" I shook my head

"I don't know ma. My mother kicked me out of the house." She looked at me in interest and sat on the bench.

"Life is hard for you isn't it?" I nodded, tears falling on my cheeks. She stood up and cleaned them with her thumb. "Shhhh, don't cry.... Then would you work for me as a house help in exchange for your food and a good place to stay and even payment... hundred thousand every month?"

My eyes nearly bulged out, I choked on my saliva and began to cough. I couldn't believe it... "A..Are y..y...y..you serious?" She nodded giving me a watery smile.

Aww she wants to cry for me. "Yes yes yes yes yes a million yes!!! Oh ma I'm so grateful!!!!!" I hugged her but pulled away, noticing she covered her nose. I stink! :(

"Lemme pack my things" hurriedly, I ran to the tent and packed up my things then dragged my box following her to the car.

Right now I didn't care about anything, I was just grateful. I couldn't even think straight. All I knew was this woman was bae!! And nice!! I'm going to do my job oh so well!!!!

Okay so I don't know why but then I felt bad and horrible writing this. "I shouldn't even care about him again is he doesn't care about me."
