Chapter 2 Abstain

Rosalinda quietly turned back to her book. "But I told you I'm not interested. Whatever I need by his grace, my parents will provide for me".

Caro just looked away and sneered.

"That is your sermon. Must your parents do everything for you?"

Rosalinda gave her a small smile.

"Of course. We are children and we are our parents responsibility, so I see no reason why our parents won't do everything for us. Look, let me give you a piece of advice. Abstain from dating. You are too young. Wait till you're old enough and ready for marriage."

Caro stood up.

" I better get going. I am sick and tired of your sermon"

She said flippantly and walked out of the library.

It was a new week. School activities was going on in earnest. Students were running helter skelter carrying out one activity or the other.

Rosalinda was walking down to the principal's office. She wanted to pay her school fees to the bursar.

When she arrived, she was told that a student was inside so she sat down to wait.

That was when it happened.

Her doom, her nightmare came walking out of the bursar's office in form of a human being.
