Sarah,I think am madly in love with you. I want you in my life,I want to love you, I want to make you my wife. I want you to give me the chance to make you happy. Joseph said.
Sarah wasn't feeling comfortable with what her teacher was saying,she didn't know what to say or how to say it. It was the first time a man will ever say such words to her. Different thoughts were running through her mind. 
Is that why he paid my WAEC fee? Sarah thought to herself. 
Why aren't you saying anything . I know you might be thinking this is why I paid your WAEC fee. See Sarah,I have grown to love you. Joseph said moving closer to Sarah. You are all I think about these days. I have lost my focus all because of you. Let me take care of you.
Sarah still wasn't saying anything. She just sat there thinking to herself.
Am still very young and I have big dreams,I can't let him get in the way... Sarah thought.
I know you think you are still young,I know you have dreams....see Sarah, I will help you accomplish all your dreams and desires. He moved very close to her and held her hands. 
Is he reading my mind now? Sarah asked herself.
So what do you say? Joseph asked.
I don't know uncle,it's the first time am hearing this from a man. I will.....think about it

. Sarah shyly responded.
You can have all the time you need,but please stop calling me uncle,am Joseph. He said.
Sarah nodded in response. All her thought was how to get out of the cage she has gotten herself into. 
Joseph offered her food but she declined saying she was needed at home.
Sarah got home feeling lost. She knew nothing about love or feelings. All this while,she saw Joseph as her big brother. She needed someone to talk to and her mother wasn't an option. She knew what Maigret would say to her. 
Yes,Rebecca,I will talk to Rebecca. She said to herself.
The next day Sarah went to visit Rebecca but Rebecca was not at home. She was told her aunty had come to take her to the city that morning. She couldn't believe it,her only friend had left her without saying goodbye. 

Rebecca's aunt had promised to take Rebecca to the big city to further her education if she passed her WAEC examination. Rebecca was very happy when she saw her WAEC result. Her dream of becoming a pharmacist was slowly becoming a reality. She will now further her education in the city at the University of Lagos. She had told Sarah about all these but didn't tell her the day her aunt was coming for her because she didn't know when she was coming until yesterday night when her mother told her to get her things ready that her aunt was coming for her the next day. She couldn't inform Sarah because it was late already and her mother doesn't allow her go outside the house at night. 

Rebecca's mother was a nurse and a widow. Her father died of kidney disease when she was still very young. As the only child,her mother Ruth saw that she was well raised and provided for. Ruth was determined to send her child to school even when other women discouraged her.
Sarah had wished her mother was like Ruth,but Maigret was the direct opposite.

Sarah took the Entry examination into the Nursing school in the city last week and was patiently waiting for the result when Joseph came up with his love talks.
She still didn't know what to say to him so she decided to avoid him instead of being rude. Each time Joseph sent someone to call her or go to see her himself, she claimed to be very busy and tied up with work. 
Weeks later,the result for the Entry examination was out. Sarah received an envelope from the Nursing school. She was so scared to open it but she did. She read what was in the letter and burst into tears.
Yeeeee!!.....not again
