This is a Complete Story named ''SUBSTITUTE WIFE''

Oh my goodness, it's 7 o'clock already and am still in bed? I asked myself.. what was I thinking.. I said to myself.

It's her final year in Standford university in California, she stays in school campus hostel with her room mate Sandra from New York , they both lived as sisters .
Cali Henry, the first daughter of Henry and a step sister to Mary Henry her father got married to her step mother two years after she was born.
Though she loved her father but was very close to her mother besides her mom took care of everything including her acedamic.
Unlike the fact that she grew up with her step sister Mary Henry , but still weren't close because of the influence bestowed on her sister from her step mother. Her step mother maltreated her so bad because her mother wasn't living with them, she was able to cope because she was still getting motherly love from her mother despite the fact that she wasn't living with them.
She took care of her needs, send her to school of her choice, this gladdens Cali Henry’s heart because she was living the life she wanted, so her step mother's attitude towards her didn't bother her.
When she was starting university, her mother told her she's going to Standford university in California, she accepted it with joy because she was going to be far away from home and her step mother's troubles.

Sandra, Sandra… I called out to my roommate, but she didn't respond.
Oh maybe she might have stepped out.. I thought to myself. I sprang up heading to bathroom to shower .
Few minutes later I was out , I dressed up I headed to the kitchen, opened the pot . Wow this girl is just too good, she cooked for us, what time did she wake up to have had time to prepare food? I asked myself.
Well I'm lucky.. I said to myself, at least I won't be going to lectures with an empty stomach. I took a plate dish out the food and starting eating so I can leave for lectures.
Unlike my home, which my step mother and my step sister will have me do everything for them. I can remember a day which I was so sick and tired I couldn't wake up early, I couldn't do anything not even been able to cook and eat to take my medications, Mary Henry my step sister entered the kitchen that make some food, I was so happy that I will eat and take my medications but I wasn't offered, Mary and her mother finished everything. I was so pained but no body to cry to. Most days in my father's house weren't to be talked about.
But here iam with my roommate , living like sisters that we are not. Sandra have made me experience sisterly love, despite the fact that we do quarrel but we can never go a day without settling with each other and living like sisters.
Still in deep thoughts I heard some one opened the door.
Cali Henry... Sandra called out to me .
I'm here Sandra... I said to her.
I'm sorry I didn't wake you to prepare for your lectures, I didn't know you had lectures today and besides you were too busy yesterday and you slept, I didn't want to disturb I just wanted you to rest because you deserves it .. Sandra apologize to me.
It's fine sandra at least I woke up to a sumptuous meal, Thank you Sandra for meal.. I said to her.
You're welcome. She said walking back to the bedroom.
It's so delicious… I shouted for her to hear.
I know right.. she replied without looking back. I was done eating, I washed the plate, put it in our plate basket and headed back to our bedroom to pick my bag because I was already dressed.
Where are you heading to … sandra asked
I'm heading for lectures… I replied

I and Sandra are doing the same course. Living together we were actually having two lectures today, one was by 8 o'clock in the morning and the other one was by 12 noon. It was already 30 mins past 10 and the first class was over. Wondering why Sandra came back without staying to attend the second class, I didn't really give it a thought because we were living in the hostel and it was quite close to our lecture block.
The second class has been cancelled.. Sandra said to me, besides the first class didn't hold.. she added.
Oh I see why you came back because it's unlike you coming back to the room without attending all the lectures. I managed to say .
Well.. I said dropping my bag. I will have enough time to eat the food you prepared , it was so delicious. I said to Sandra laughing.
The food must be very delicious.. Sandra replied.
Of Course it is very delicious. I said to her, please don't finish everything because I won't cook today again and remember you will be cooking tomorrow and tomorrow's lecture is by 7 o'clock. She said..
Sure I won't sleep like that again. Like you said I was really tired , that's the reason I woke up late but tomorrow I will wake up very early. I wouldn't want to miss tomorrow's lectures, if at all today's lecture was held I would have missed it .. I pointed it out . And I'm gonna Cook something tomorrow.. I added
Please let it be delicious as mine.. Sandra said
Of Course it will be more delicious than yours.. I said laughing.
Please let it be as you said.. Sandra replied.
Of course you are a nice cook, your food is always delicious .. sandra said to me
Awwwwwwn, I'm blushing, thanks for your compliment. I said to her, You are always welcome.sandra replied.
It seems we were the only ones that didn't know the class wouldn't hold because a lot of them weren't in school.. Sandra said
Well I'm one of them . I said to Sandra.
