Two sides of a face

Chapter one✨

Omotola's pov:
Being happy is one thing and faking happiness is another thing
Well I have learnt to fake my happiness for as long as I could remember
When people see me the think I'm this bright,happy and whole soul but that's always far from the truth

Hey I'm omotola lawson and this is my story.First of,I'm going to introduce myself so you could know me better
So you guys know my name already,I'm 18 years of age
I have an elder sister who obviously hates me because of some reason best known to her...it bothers me that my own sister could hate me but I think I was made to be sad
My parents are average not poor and not rich(if you get what I mean you know)

My parents are also divorced and they don't really care about me also
I live in Nigeria and in a city called Lagos...I'm actually in the university(college) and I'm majoring in medicine(science)
Well I guess that's all you need to know about me,if you want to know more you need to stick around through out the book

So back to the present,I woke up on a wrong note today
My mom was screaming at me for no reason...oh I think I know the reason...it's because am still breathing up till this day
Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually the cause of the divorce

I tried getting ready with a troubling headache and yay another great way to start my day
Few minutes later it hit me that it's Monday and I have got classes so I quickly check the time
It's 7:30am so I kind of have 30 minutes to get to school and the busy streets of Lagos won't let me get there on time

I leave my room and make my way to the door but I overhear my mom crying
In as much as she hates me I really care about her because obviously she's my mom and there's no one as special as a mom
I even got a job so I could support her once in a while at home

So I dropped my bag by the door and went towards the direction of her voice
"Mommy is everything alright?"she looked up at me with teary eyes and said
"No omotola....everything is not alright...everything can never be alright...since you came into the family things have been falling apart"
I won't lie and say her words didn't hurt because the really did...it was like a knife was pierced through me
I didn't know when I started crying but I felt a few drops on my hands
"I'm sorry I caused you pain"
"Get out of here now before I slap you...what are you sorry about...that you were a mistake or you are living which one"

Wow if that was how my own mom really felt about me I guess i really was as worthless as I felt
With that note I left the house to school,I knew I was late for my classes but I don't really care about the classes
Through the salary I am earning I managed to get a phone for myself so I played music during my walk to class

I found a shorter route to school from my house in case of traffic
I took that area so I could get to school faster
I was crying to school,this was the first time my mom has ever said those words directly to my face and it hurt really bad
I know I shouldn't cry and stuffs like that but...well I don't really know the reason my brain isn't really at it's best right now

After a few minutes of walking and overthinking my life out I was in school
I made my way to class and I saw the lecturer was already in class
So I tried entering the class without looking at him but as always the universe hates me
"Hey you...what do you think your doing"
I turned towards him and looked at him before saying "I'm entering class"
"Ah...after coming for my class late you still have the mouth to tell me that nonsense...oya get out of my class"

Without arguing I decided to leave his class in hopes that my best friend will write my name down on the attendance sheet because it was compulsory in his class
Before leaving the door,I turned and looked for my best friend and signaled him not to forget my name on the attendance sheet and he laughed at me but immediately his face turned serious and concern was all over

I quickly turned away and made my way towards the library in hopes that at least something could actually change the bad day I'm having
