It was yet another Sunday morning and every body in the Chike's house prepared to go for church. Behind the bathroom doors stood a girl lost in thoughts . Seven stared at the reflection of herself her form teachers words echoing in her mind
'Don't let me down!!'
'You're a top student'  'Get rid of anything distracting you '
'Don't let me down!!!.'
The words echoed louder and louder  'don't let me down!!! '   
Slurping down her hands griped her wash bowl as she slowly steaded her self on the ground. Her mind swirling in various directions.
" Seven" the voice of her Dad yelling her name and the footsteps of him walking to her room echoed and she got up , wet her face and used her face towel to clean up.
" Seven why aren't you dressed yet ?"  " Nothing am going to now ".
" Be fast okay am waiting for you in the car "...
  The church service was over and Seven waited behind for her Dad to be over with his various meetings
and counseling session he usually had after service. Her eyes glistened as the rays of light hit her in the shade of the children church she stayed. The shuffle of chairs took her eyes away from the window and to the source of the noise . Meeting the smile of her closet friend in church her face bore a small smile in return.  " Seven wassup" Mickey greeted in his usual smirking face .
" Can I sit ?" He asked taking a seat next to her
" There's no point asking if you're going to " .
  " Well you know me " he replied laying more on the chair.
Seven could feel his eyes staring at her sighing with a smile she turned towards him. " Mickey what ?" .
" What can't I look at you in peace again".
" Common I know you very well Mickey What's the problem ?"
" And why do you feel there's a problem" he smirked at her.
" Because I know you "
" Really, what if I've changed" . The raised brow of hers made his demeanor fall.  " Mickey"she softly called and he removed his face turning the other direction. Her hands reached out turning his face back to face hers.
" It's just my Dad you know and his every day talk of how am failing science like I chose it . He makes it seem as if I'm a disappointment you know , I don't know if you'll get me . Just forget"
" Actually I do, you're doing all your best but it's not just enough"
" Yea" he agreed in return.
" Mickey" the voice of his younger sister Sandra called from the door.
"Thanks for listening, I have to go I'll see you later " he said getting up . But that was the last he ever saw of her.
