She loved to watch me draw. I told her she was my inspiration when I draw. Once she was watching me draw as usual but she didn’t notice I was drawing her, after completion I showed it to her. She was happy and she hugged me and even I got a kiss on the cheek. When she comported herself she told me I will be great one day. I smiled when she said that. She was the third person to tell me that. Vanessa as she was called was my only friend. The others who we were in class with thought they were better than me, but with Vanessa I felt happy because she didn’t look down on me.
On September 16, the B.E.C.E (Basic Education Certificate Examination) was released. Vanessa arrived at the school very happy; she told me she had checked her results and had pass with flying colours. I was happy for her. I wanted to also know my results so I tried to ask her for the price of the card for checking the results. She smiled and told me I had also passed with flying colours. We were very happy and that day we went to eat at our favourite joint. I knew Vanessa was from a very comfortable home but I never knew her father was the owner of the richest company in our country AJW group of companies. This company has branches all over the world. Her mother was the head of Kana firm, a law company. When she told me about it, I was very surprise because she had a kind and gentle heart.
