31 The girl who disowned her
parents…
Lyla
Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow across my bedroom. I stirred, my eyes fluttering open as I gradually came to consciousness. For a moment, I lay still, enjoying the comfort of my bed and the peaceful quiet of the morning.
It had been weeks since I’d last set foot in school and today will mark my long–awaited return.
I stretched lazily, feeling the dull ache on my back. Although I had healed completely, I still felt an occasional twinge on my back. I trudged to the mirror in my room and stood before it, gazing at the girl who stared back at me. The girl who left school all those weeks ago was not the same one preparing to return.
A soft knock sounded on my door before it was pushed open. When I turned, it was my Nanny, Miriam at the door. Her eyes widened when she saw me and
immediately, she rushed to where I stood.

“Lyla dear, are you sure you should be standing? Remember…”
“I’m fine, Nan!” I replied with a smile “Honestly, I am. I feel better than I have in days plus I’ll be going to school today and if I ever need to catch up on school work, I have to resume today.”
“Your health comes first, Lyla,” she sighed steering to the bed “How about you resume next week? I already spoke with your teachers and a lot of them are willing to let you retake most of the tests done in your absence.”
“That’s why I need to go to school, today. I cannot miss another of those mid–term tests, remember our exams are around the corner, ther a lot for me to catch up with.”
“Fine!” she sighed patting my hand gently “But how are you feeling…” she paused as if contemplating if she should ask me or not. “When you first arrived, you looked so… sad, broken, worn out and maybe it’s just my imagination or I am worrying but… what happened when you got home? Do you think you can tell me
now?”

“I already told you, Nan!” I rose from my bed and crossed the room to my reading table, stuffing my school bag with books. “I disgraced my parents at the Gala and I decided to disown them to save them from
further embarrassment. End of story.”
“You already told me that, but how did you get injured?”
I had deliberately skipped that part because for me to be in the Northern Forest which was far away from home, I must have been on my way to the White Mountains. But I didn’t want to keep the truth away from Miriam. She was my best friend and we always tell each other stuff.
Still, would she believe me
