Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 4

Katherine’s POV

My parent weren’t home when I came back
from school around 5:00pm. Nanny Patricia
said mommy went to see a friend who was
celebrating her birthday today. I didn’t
need anyone to tell me Dad was still at
work attending business meetings. I ate
dinner with Pat and told her everything
that happened at school. Actually, she
warned me to stay away from Angella and
her friends to avoid trouble. Exactly! I don’t
want Daddy yelling at me again for being a
bad girl. And i keep praying over and over
again that Angella won’t be like Cynthia.

I sat writing on my bed. I really like my
room. Fresh pink and white sheet on the
bed,framed photographs on the dressing
table on and pink painted walls. Its my
little sanctuary and I take comfort in it
whenever mom was away from home
during my holidays. I sat writing in my
diary Brother (Okunola) in Manchester sent
it to me as a gift on my 16th birthday. And
it been a while I’ve written in it.

“I am glad to be in Empire High School but
nothing can be compared to Linda Girls
College. I can believe how much I missed
everything and everyone.. Especially Senior
Faith. I sent an apology letter to Principal
Joy during holiday but I hope that someday
they will get to know the truth. Dear Diary,
only you, mom and pat believed that I was
innocent. Dad doesn’t and I feel he hates
me now. He seized my cellphone thinking I
stayed up chatting with Charles and Senior
Faith. What do I do to make him trust and
believe me again? It Sad. I’ll try to be happy
in my new school. Well, I met some nice
people today,Elena, Cullen, Jamal and
others. I think someone in my class wants
to be like Cynthia.. She didn’t stop staring
at me like I had shit on my body. I’ll do my
best to avoid her. And there’s Jeffrey.. He
looked Sad and unhappy. I think there’s
something bothering him. It none of my
business but I feel sorry for him.. and I
don’t know why..”

I flipped pages in my diary. My eyes caught
a page where I wrote my purpose of
attending Empire High School
“To read my books, mind my business and
pass my SSCE”

I turned to the back page of my diary and I
saw my favorite poem which I had written
in it.

“Ulysses By Lord Alfred Tennyson” And i
had picked a motto from a line in the
poem.

“To Strive, To Seek, To Find and not to
Yield”

I can do this! I have to prove to my dad
that I am a good girl. Then i kept my diary
in place and went on my kneels and prayed
to God to softened my dad’s heart towards
me. And take every hindrances in my way.
