She walked down to where her mother was sitting. "Good day ma," Sandra greeted as she wait to see her mother's reaction.
"I was told that you are still very much interested in Donald," Mrs Susan said without raising up her eyes."What do you mean mother?" Sandra asked."I know you know what i mean." this time, she kept the news paper down and adjust on the couch."Sit and listen to what i have to tell you" Mrs susan said as Sandra slowly sit on a couch opposite her mother."Look, i am your mother and i know what is best for you. You have nothing to gain from an affair with a pauper like Donald. I have done researches and I've gathered all the information i need about Donald. To be frank, he is not a the type of guy that should be with a girl like you from a prestigious home. Being with you is disreputable to your personality," Mrs Susan advice.While she was saying all these, alots of thought were running through Sandra's mind. At first, she don't want to talk to her mother but she later decided to at least air what has been caged in her mind all these while."Mum, i may still be a tenager but i know what gives me joy. Donald may be poor as you said but he is unique. Mum, you just think that Alex will be best for me, but being with Alex doesn't give me any joy. If you actually care about my joy, you approve Donald." Sandra said with her eyes fixed with that of her mother."Never!" Mrs Susan shouted as Sandra gasp at the sound of her mother's voice.One could see the intensity that envelops the eyes of Mrs Susan.

"You can go now," Mrs Susan said.Sandra stood up and walk straight to her room. She kept her bag on her reading table and throw herself on her bed.'Why does my mother get furious at the hearing of Donald's name? Why is she always bent on getting me into a union with Alex? Is there something i need to know? She has never asked me to love anybody, she use to say am still too young for any relationship. Why now that am in love with Donald already? Why Alex? What mum!?' all these are thoughts running through her mind till she slept off.She was woken by the ringing of her phone, she sluggishly roll on her bed to where her phone is kept."Hello Sandra, where have you been; you have missed three of my calls" Clara said immediately Sandra pick up the call"Sorry, i was asleep," Sandra apologized."Alright! What do you wish to do about this whole mess dear?" Clara askedSandra let out a heavy sigh. She obviously have nothing planned out about her mother's decision"Dear, am very confuse right now. You know i don't like my mother's decision, neither do i even like Alex but i couldn't figure out how to get out of this whole thing yet," Sandra confessed."You know i told Donald about Alex and how your mother want him for you, and he was very furious. I've never seen him that furious. He has given me the golden necklace you bought for him to you" Clara said"Wait! You told Donald everything? Was that why he left the school moody?" Sandra asked out of anxiety"Yes Sandra. It is better i tell him now than allowing him to find out himself" Clara said"I don't know whether what you do is the best right now, because am truely in a mess now," Sandra said."I call you on phone because we don't have much privacy in the school because of Alex's presence. You should look for a way to talk to Donald. Bye!" Clara said as she hung up the call.Sandra grunt and throw her phone the bed while she covers her face tight with both hands to show how confused she is.***The next day, Donald walk into the class to see that one of her class mate called Jessica is sitting on the desk he use to sit alone. He was not actually dispeased about that girl sitting on his desk."Good morning Donald," Jessica greeted."Hey! Good morning" Donald responded without looking up at her"It seems you don't feel happy about me sitting here" Jessica asked"Its okay, everyone is free to sit anywhere" Donald answered"Thanks then" she said"You are welcome" Donald addedAfter a few minutes, Sandra, Clara and Alex walked into the class.

"Really?" Donald asked while smilling"Yes," she confirmed."I can actually make you happy." Jessica said as she winked at Donald and bring out her phone to show Donald some pictures in her phone.One could see Sandra burning in bitterness. She became restless and unease, she wish break time comes quickly so she could ask about Jessica or even confront her.'It wouldn't go down well with myself and Jessica today,' Sandra thought to herself as her face burn in red and her teeth clenched hard.
