Am a girl that no one wants to spend time with. Am a person who keeps myself indoors and not used of being amongst so many people. Maybe a part from when am at school because I have nothing to do about that.
I live with both my parents. I have a big sister but she does not stay with us since she is already married and has a three year old beautiful baby girl. We have not been close as siblings due to the age gap that exists between us and therefore didn't give us anything much to keep us close.
My best friend is my laptop and phone. They give me company since I do all the research that I want about what is happening around the world.
OMG I have not introduced my self. Am Jackie Simpson. A senior and am 17years old though I will making 18 in a few months.
I do chemistry and biology and want to become a medical student. I know I can manage this because am Avery bright student in class and I don't have to read a lot to pass. I don't have a boy friend and I have never had one. However I have crush on a guy who I don't even think will ever get a chance with.
My mother is ex ordinary compared to other mothers. She she an out going person who at her age likes shopping a lot. She rarely even does anything at home yet she does not work .i wonder how dad was able to be with her during their youth age, he must have spent a lot into her.. Poor man.
However thou she does all these, I love her so much since she is my mother and I have learnt to live with all her faults. No one is perfect. .Am sure many kids have much more worse kids outside there.
The truth is my mom is partly responsible for my too much stigma. When I was in my early teens,she used to spend most of her time at her best friends home, Natasha. My mother being a stay at home wife doesn't much to do and there fore they spend most of the time doing luxurious shopping .she used to leave me home all the time. So this made me grow up knowing that I belong only indoors. It made me very shy.
"Jackie!!! " I am brought back to reality by the shouting of mom down stairs. I smile at it. That is my mother for you. She wakes up every morning to shout my name even when she doesn't have anything specific that she wants to tell me. She cannot even do anything by her own. I wonder how they have managed to keep themselves in love for every long time with that laziness of hers.
However there are times when she acts as a real mother.... but that is for another time. Not now.
I quickly switch off my laptop and dress properly before running down stairs otherwise my mom will burst my ear drums with the too much shouting that she does every morning.
Upon reaching in the kitchen, am surprised by what I see, is this the woman who has been shouting a few minutes ago. I find her and dad kissing passionately... Shameless adults. I decide to stand quietly watching my little show. Pervert girl. I decide not interrupt their sweet moments.
As they continue kissing, my dad's hands go to undo my mums lace night dress..... Oh no, do they want to have s*x from here. No no!!
"ehmm"
I do it intentionally which makes them pull away shamefully like a kid caught stealing ice cream from the fridge.. They really look lovely together, their relationship must have been lovely when they were in love in their teens.
"wwhaaat are you doing here"
My mother asks blushed. Wow. She tries very hard to look serious but fails and instead smiles and I smile back. Lovebirds. Apart from my mother being an extravagant lady, she is really a Darling to my father.
"you called me"i answer
"oh.. Okay " she says as if she had forgotten completely ever calling me..
"wanted to tell you to prepare, Natasha has party and you need to attend "
She adds
Am shocked to hear her say that. This will be the first time she wants to take me for a party. Seriously this will be the first time she wants to take me for a party seriously this is the first time. Is she growing old or am a bit nice looking now.Not because she always thought of me as ugly but I didn't think an attractive either because no guy has ever approached me.
"why are you looking like "
My mother asks me lost in my own imaginations.
"no.. Nothing " I say panickingly.she tells me to prepare breakfast as she selects her dress for the party later on in the evening. I begin preparing breakfast. All my years, cooking has become one of my hobbies and am very good at that. I suppose this is one of the reasons as to why mom insists that I cook Evey day

Hello people, thanks you so much for following me. I beg you to follow my new novel as we begin Jackie and Tony's love story. It will be very fantastic at the same time and equally educative.
My other novel "The intern teacher is still on going though we have only a few chapters to complete it. I beg you to help me follow and tell others to equally read it. Am a new reader and this is my second book. I inform you that much more will be coming as time flies.
Currently I have nothing to do since my job as a teacher is no more due to the too much Covid _19 here and therefore schools are still locked until further notice.
Regard;-
Nancy.
