Chapter 9:
” You can’t believe this, Diana. ” Emma said from the other side of the call.
” Believe what? ” Curioused, I asked.
” Are you watching the media now? ”
” No, I’m in my room. Is there a problem? ” She was still keeping me in suspense and I hated the fact that she wasn’t hitting straight to the point.
” Not at all. Your name is all over the media now. ”
” I know, my uncle told me that. ” I said reluctantly, not able to see that as a surprise.
” I’m damn serious about this, since your ph0toshoot went viral, your name has become the talk of the town. Everyone wishes to see you, the whole world are. Oh, Diana I wish I were you, I would be yelling in happiness right now. ”
The news sounded like a blast, I mean, the p@rt where she said the whole world wishes to see me. I’m still a hundred percent surprised about this, it’s not even close to a day and I’m alre-ady viral like a popstar.
It’s really surprising, yet I find it ha-rd to believe. I sle-pt in jubilation, forgetting my discussion with uncle Kelvin. I looked troubled while returning to my room but not anymore.
Now, I’m fv¢king excited right now!!!
The night pas-sed out just as I have wished. I don’t know what got over me this morning, I did everything hurriedly to go to work.
Uncle Kelvin had to go to work so early for an urgent matter, and Mrs Tracy was called for an emergency incident.
It’s me again with the three kids…
I was preparing while they were having breakfast. I first drove Max and ru-by to school, and it was Queeneth and I alone.
I wasn’t expecting either of us to talk, I know she hates me, and after what happened last night, there’s every chance for her to hate me the more.
We got to her school, I was expecting her to slam the door ha-rd and walk away like she never noticed me. Guess I’m always wrong about things.
She was staring at her hands as she pinched her f!ngers. ” I’m sorry. ” c@m£ the soft words out of her mouth.
I didn’t say anything, but I was re-ady to listen to whatever she was about to say.
” I’m very sorry for yelling at you. I know you didn’t do anything and you didn’t worth any of that either. I thought that was the only way to make you leave. ”
” Why would you want me to leave? ” I remember back in those days when Queeneth and I spent together not just as sisters but as best friends too.
We always shared this girls little secret and most times we had great fun together especially when Max and ru-by were pla-ying video games.
It’s still surprising you know, to have such great times together and now, we look completely like sworn enemies.
I hate to say that it really hurts a lot. The least thing I’ve ever wanted in my life is to have a quarrel with someone so close to me. Not to talk of my sister.
She’s only ten, we shouldn’t be having such annoying hatred for each other.
” To pay you back for what you did yesterday morning. ”
” But Queen, you knew I was running late for work and I had something important to do at the company. If you had gone, all this wouldn’t have happened. ”
” I know. ” She said, feeling a bit embarras-sed.
” Look, I don’t hate you for anything, Queen but if there’s anything wrong I’ve done to you, plea-se forgive me. ” I apologized.
Feeling more embarras-sed, she looked away. ” I should be the one apologising. It’s me who started the quarrel not you. ”
” It doesn’t matter who is at fault or not, none of us deserve to hate the other. We’re the only girls around and we’re supposed to have each other’s back and not hating ourselves. ” I explained, sighing.
I never knew I had to use all the strength I’ve got to say that. But at least, it really was helpful.
” You’re right, we should have each other’s back. Do you hate me? ” She took her gaze off the window, now staring at me with eyes pleading for a sincere reply.
I don’t hate her.. for any reason. But I still want to know how she c@m£ to know about Acanda. It’s almost ten years ago since I c@m£ here which is likewise the same year they had given birth to her.
How does she know about Acanda. Has she been over hearing uncle Kelvin and I talking about it? Or did someone tell her?
I know aunty Tracy will never do such and uncle Kelvin can never have such discussion with his daughter.
I have a friend who has been very close to me since I graduated from college and I haven’t told him about my background.
How the hell then did she know about this? There’s someone who might have told her… Someone close to us.
” I don’t hate you for any reason, Queen. But I want to know something, who told you about Acanda and my family? ”
She looked outside again, and for a second, she stared at her f!ngers. ” No one. But… ” She paused, like she was scared to continue.
” But who? ”
” I once overheard Mom discuss with her friends about it. ”
Shocked, I asked. ” When was that? ”
She was counting her f!ngers, and when she got to the seventh f!nger, she st©pped counting. ” Last weekend. ”
I didn’t want to believe what she had just said, aunty Tracy would never do such. I mean, what was so interesting to say about it?
” You were out for a walk with Jake, Max and ru-by were out to meet their friends and I was the only one at home, in my room. She might think I was slee-ping but I wasn’t. Tom was tired, ” referring to her taddy toy, ” I didn’t want to disturb him. I could hear mom discussing with her friends, that was how I got to know about Acanda. ”
” What did you hear last night? ”
” Nothing, I was crying so, I couldn’t hear anything. ”
I sighed heavily, and it felt like I was bearing a heavy borden in me. The joy I had used to drive to work disappeared from me.
I felt the pains to be betrayed, to be talked about. And the questions kept poun-dering in my head… Why would aunty Tracy do that to me? Why would she be do willing to tell her friends about my family?
And last night I had explained to her what Queeneth had said to me, she didn’t much react the way Uncle Kelvin did.
Why do I feel much hurt for what she did than learning about the wolves threat on Acanda? Why do I look bothered than being wanted by a wolf?
I didn’t want her to notice my sudden feeling, she doesn’t have to.
The school bell rang, ” aunty Diana? ” She called for the nth time, I guess.
” Yes? ”
” I have to go, bye. ”
“Bye, ” She waved at me, leaving to school.
I drove out of the school premises, I couldn’t think straight, my joy was gone completely.
I wasn’t bothered about Queeneth knowing about my family background and the rest of them. But I am when it has to do with some group of persons involved too.
And I can’t st©p imagining it looking like a Saturday clas-s about me. Who knows what she has told to the others, and what those people has said about me?
Why is my br@in being so calculative over this? I should be heading to work, acting like I heard $h!t about anything.
I got to the parking lot of the company, first taking a de-ep breath.
Now I’ve got two people who doesn’t want the good out of my life. One who desperately wants me, and the other who condemns me.
And I really don’t know who I’m to run away from…
~~~~
I knew it… I suspected Aunty Tracy’s action towards when Diana told her everything. She didn’t react…

Chapter 10:
Just as I was worried about what Queeneth had just said concerning her mother ma-king me the talk of the day with her friends, I was double excited too.
First, being New York’s talk of the town and now, Queeneth and I are back together.
I drove to the company, dropping my car at the parking lot. As I stepped into the building, they all started cl@pping.
I was surprised, I mean, how far has my name gotten to?
After a brief moment of congratulations, everyone went back to business. Mrs White wasn’t in the company yet. For a couple days now, she has been a lot busy with increasing the awareness of her company.
And now, yesterday’s advert has done something miraculously great, she’ll be ten times busier than before.
I with my fellow models sat in the dressing room, discussing about how the next show will be. After what took like two hours, Mrs White’s arrival was announced.
Later, someone c@m£ to inform us that Mrs White wants a brief meeting with everyone. So, we all went to the meeting hall.
” Thanks to each one of you, ” she started. ” with your great help and support, Sparrow’s Boutique Enterprise has been recognized as New York’s t©p fifth enterprise in the world. ”
We all started cl@pping, when she continued, there was a sudden calmness. ” It has always been my dream to get to this level, my hopes and wishes to be recognized all over the world, which I strongly believe has finally come to pas-s. ” She sighed happily.
” Also, my special thanks goes to Miss Diana Craig, plea-se come forward. ” Another applause filled the hall as I stood up, walking to where she stood. ” We all know what happened yesterday, and I will keep saying this, yesterday was indeed a memorable day in my life. With Miss Craig, we are what we are now, we have become one of the state’s most recognized! ”
” And… ” She paused, like saying the next thing would sound like a blast, which actually did when she said, ” Miss Craig here, has become New York’s t©p fourth model. ”
My happiness had no bound, and I almost choked feeling excited. Tears clouded my eyes, Mrs White pu-ll-ed me into a hvg. ” That’s tears of joy, sweetheart. You’ve made me proud than I ought to be, you deserve it. ”
Last night incident flashed back to my memory, the p@rt when Queeneth had to call my family pathetic. Also when she referred me as a nob©dy who was picked out from a wretched family.
Now look what I am today, I’m in a position not even her father is able to reach. Sometimes, our background doesn’t count what we are, it’s how ha-rd we work for what we want that tells.
If Dad and Mom were here, it would have been better. We won’t have to live a wretched life anymore. You just don’t know how it feels like being mentioned in one of the biggest States in America.
It’s a dream come true….
She broke the hvg, drying the tears with her left thumb. ” Go on, say something to them. ” She said, referring to the workers.
” I’m greatly honored for everything, first working in the company and second,… ” I sighed de-eply, ” and second, hearing this news it’s something that I can’t believe. I mean, I never thought I would be what I am now. My whole life since I was life, I thought I would be the same girl I was twelve years ago. ”
Being that stubborn girl with her little puppy out in the woods at the middle of the night. The same girl who hated her mother for being such a protector to her.
But now, it’s all the opposite…
” Thank you, Mrs White for choosing me for the advert, I wouldn’t have been what I am today if not of you. And to my fellow models, Sparrow’s staff’s, I say thank you all for everything. ”
” Sparrow still can’t thank you enough, Miss Craig, I with my fellow managements decided to offer you this for the company. ”
Two men went to a corner which I’m pretty sure no one seemed to have noticed that. It was covered with a big white cloth ma-king it impossible for any of us to know what it really was.
They pu-ll-ed the cloth down, ex-posing what was behind the cloth. It was a big banner with the picture I had taken yesterday on it and a bold written inscription on it.
“ SPARROW’S NUMBER ONE MODEL. ” And a small written inscription below it. “ New York’s t©p Fourth Model. ”
I felt the world embr@cing me, everyone wishing to k!ssmy feet. I could feel heaven’s hands on me, It’s blessings falling upon me.
What a great relief it is…

The loud noise of the reporters outside the building made me want to disappear into the thin air. All thanks to the securities who didn’t let them rush in.
I wasn’t re-ady for answering their questions, and I’ve got nothing to say to them either. If it would be possible for Mrs White to call the cops to drive them away, I’ll be thankful for that.
Did I just become a celebrity overnight?
It’s still unbelievable that one single thing has to be the reason for my popularity.
God knows how desperate I have wanted such a day like this to come. And here it is, standing at my door step.
Uncle Kelvin and the others were all sitting in the sitting room when I returned. The sudden smile on their faces got me wondering.
First it was the kids who c@m£ to hvg me, them aunty Tracy who gave me a k!sson my both cheeks. Uncle Kelvin didn’t want to be so childish like them, I guess…
What am I gonna call his?
A surprise?
If happiness could be measured, mine has no degree.
Aunty Tracy made special meal for us, which turns out to be my favorite. We ate and drank to our satisfaction.
I wasn’t the food type, but this time, I ate more than my b©dy could accommod@t£. Uncle Kelvin turned in the television, and what kept displa-ying on the screen was my ph0tos.
I never knew I was this beautiful…
My phone kept buzzing as different notification kept dropping seconds after seconds. My followers both on instagram and twitter was increasing ra-pidly and the joy of famousity grew in me.
” How does it feel like being famous? ” Max asked.
” I don’t know. It feels like having the world in your hands, gaining everyone’s trusts and love. ”
Queeneth stood up, walking to her room. I followed her to her room, she was alre-ady laying down when I got there.
She was facing the window staring out of it. I went to sit beside her, moving my f!ngerson her hair. ” I remember when I was your age, I would lock myself in my room and no matter how many times my mother has to scream my name, I won’t open the door for her. I had no one to call a brother, I had no one to call a sister, I was just on my own. Sometimes I wondered what life was like outside mine, how fun it would be to have someone beside, someone different from my parents. But you know what, I still didn’t get to know what it was like. ”
” Sometimes, I wished I was a dead corpse, thrown away and forgotten that I ever existed. But I was wrong, I was never made to be a forgotten person. I was made to be what I am now. ”
She la-id straight, her b©dy facing upwards that she was looking at me. ” I was wrong about you. From the start I never knew you’d be the opposite of what I thought about you. You just proved me wrong. Sometimes, I wondered why I had such stupid thoughts about you, why I always wished for something bad for you. I mean, I’m ten right, I shouldn’t have such matured thinking. ”
” It’s not your fault that you have to think like that, you had those thoughts because your mother made you to. Queen, I’ve known you for good ten years, and till now I wonder why it has to be you. ”
” You deserve to be happy, Diana, you really nee-d to. ”
” Nothing makes me happy than having you guys around. And you wanna know what makes me happy the most? ”
She nodded,
Pointing at her small nose, I said. ” Having you back. ” She giggled.
” Really? ”
” Sure. You want a prove? ”
She nodded, still with the smile. ” Yes. ”
” Okay, here is the proof. ” I started tickling her all over her b©dy, her giggles turned into laughter.
” St©p! St©p! Sto…p!! ” She folded her hands around my n£¢k, and we tumbled on her be-d breathing heavily with our face staring at the ceiling.
” How do you feel now? ” I looked at her
” Happy, ” her eyes still at the ceiling. ” Diana, thank you. ” Now she was looking at me.
I chuckled, ” What for? ”
” For ma-king my night. ” She rested her head on my shoulder. ” I’m happy I have you. I really am. ” She sle-pt off.
And we were like that, waking up on each other’s arms.
