Teetering Genesis
Ava's POV:
"I'm going to sue you, you rascal!!!!!!".Rose, ava's mum screamed. And this is what I wake up to every morning, more like a ritual...I don't even feel a slightest sadness in me anymore whenever I wake up to this blowout . I got out of bed,headed straight to shower because I was already late to school. "Good morning mum" I altered almost whispering and grabbed a slice of sandwich and destined to the bus-stop where other students wait for school bus invariably.
I've always believed that I could touch the sky and make a lot of changes if only I attain a certain level of education and unapologetically lead in the world of politics. Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that I already wrote off getting married because I can't deal with the snags that comes with marriage. Besides, I can singlehandedly give my kids a life of luxury that my both parents couldn't offer me if only I keep my head high. And time is always slow, so super sluggish during classes but it takes a fingersnap for you to hear the bell signaling "BREAK OVER" ..... that's the saddest noise in high school fr. Before I forget!, with drumrolls and a standing ovation, permit me to introduce my best friend by name "Robert".(That's how dramatic the voices in my head are).He's about 5-feet tall, light-skinned and had a unique brown-colored eye. Oops, I forgot to mention that literally every girl in Georgia highschool was all over Robert....tried to wrap my head around why it's that way but I rather not. Robert knows about every skeleton I had in my cupboard and I knew his too, we were that inseparable. School was over and I headed back home only to find my mum on the floor with a good number of bruises on her body, I already knew how these bruises came about but anytime I tried raising an alarm, she'd always say "Males are the stronger gender and sometimes don't know how to express their emotions, so let it be. I know your dad loves me and so does he love you too". Just seeing her alter these words shamelessly, keeps motivating me to prove her wrong. Regardless,I love my mum but she was just too blinded by the memories she shared with my dad while he was human, not now he's turned into a beast . And the pesky part of this whole thing is that anytime I try to talk, she would shut me up with "You'll have a broader understanding when you're all grown". And to be honest, I don't think I want to ever understand why she's still in love with someone who would constantly look her in the eye and brutalize her....hell no! That's the last thing I want to understand atp.I had a lot of school projects to do and I had to clean up my room because Robert was coming over to get his school work done, I quickly cleaned the bruises on my mum's body and got busy. Barely 15 minutes after the whole drama with my mom, the doorbell rang....guess who it was???? Robert!!!!!!!. I rushed to get the door but he was already on his way to my room, so we did our normal gestures starting with a fist-to- fist, then a hand shake that led to collusion of our both thumbs and a complicated movement between our pinky finger and our middle finger then a heel-to-heel collusion and finally, a sided hug....more like dudes. We laughed all the way to my room and as a normal routine, we'd always pray before starting and I always made cookies for us to snack on while being busy. We had tons of work to do unlike other lazy kids who dumped their school projects on us in exchange for little pennies, we both did this for fun not really for the pennies because we always wanted something that'd get our minds off family and personal hurdles. As usual, I had fun while Robert was around and got back to my boring world whenever he retires home.
ROBERT'S POV:
I'm Robert Thompson, you already know who I am to Ava but then I think you should know a little bit of what my family settings look like. I'm the third and last child of my parents and I've got two older brothers that I bond well with but sometimes a little squabbles here and there. My dad loved my mum so much and we grew up in a serenity where both our parents showered us with love until we lost my dad to lung cancers. He was a dead ass smoker for a fact but that didn't affect his marriage and I sometimes wonder how??? Or maybe they had fights behind our backs....so I thought. I knew Ava since 5th grade when we moved to Georgia, we had a rough start though but here we are...you might be curious to know what the rough start was all about yeah? Ava has always been a one-man soldier, all the kids were all having fun till I tried to playfully drag her by her hair and she pulled a stunt. She spat right into my eye and pushed me so hard that I bled through my nose, that's not all...she pretended to have fallen too so as to victimize herself too but we both know that I am the only victim here. We were cautioned by the school authority and her plans worked out perfectly, she escaped the consequences of her action. I swore to make her my friend because her aura was a ten outta 10, here we are....the inseparables. Ever since we became friends, every other girl didn't matter to me as much as she did...no strings attached though JUST platonic. We clear?
