It was so fun watching them gist, and do  all the works

 together. 

So I went about showing off, the cloth she(my step mom ) bought for me.

And also telling my friends how nice she was.

But I was stunned.
    By my friend John,

 who happened to have 4 step mothers and also a witness to the envy and every day fights  in his house between his mother's .

And now he wants to protect me from such.

John was older than me by 3 yrs  .

So now he shared with me his experience.

Ada! He called. 

Please be very careful.

Am not saying you shouldn't be excited,

But just be careful. 

Because, that is how they make us love them at first and turn to  hurt us later he said.

Hmmmm I said in deep confusion.  But knowing John,  he won't lie to me . For we have known each other like forever. 

He happened to be my  child crush. 

John had no reason what so ever to lie to me.

I finally assured myself.

Because aside from being my crush he was like  a big brother I never had.

We played together, eat together in my house, went to school together and we were even in the same class and also shared a seat . Hahaha  (smiles).

We were very close to the point, that if by any chance I don't go to school he won't go too or if I don't do any assignment he won't  either so that we would serve the punishment together.

Three months later after my father married another wife and  John's warning,
  
We discovered that mom was 6 months gone without her stomach showing off. 
What a miracle. 

Apparently,

Mother knew she was  pregnant but the fear of her loosing it again after she must have told everyone  made her keep it a secret. 

It was that day we found out that my loving step mother was a devil.

She got mad that why should my mother get pregnant before her.

So who would be doing the house work ehn?  She fired.

Mom tried to get her to calm down but to no avail. 

She came to me to ask for her cloth, the one which she  bought for me .  At list so she said.

And when I tried begging her for what I knew nothing about.

 she got angry the more and tour the cloth of me saying is better she uses it as rag than let me wear
 it.
 
It was so painful.

I wept so bad
