  Once we got home and shared the food amongst ourselves, I decided to tell my mother a little bit of what the woman had said to me. I wasn’t going to tell her about the bullying and things, she might find out but it’s definitely not going to be from my mouth.‘I just told her that I was feeling down because I wasn’t chosen as anyone’s dance partner during the party and how it hurt that I was being ignored. She wrote somethings down, gave me a sort of pep talk and basically said we should see eac

  My mother had called me to her room the night before the party to give me her instructions. I wasn’t to dance with any boy, leave the hall without telling the teacher, drink something I didn’t know the whereabouts of and many more rules. By the time she was done, she then asked me for what I planned to wear tomorrow.‘I don’t know mommy. I’ll probably pick the first thing I see in my wardrobe.’ That was a lie. I had already picked the body con skirt that my friend bought me for my birthday and the off shoulder top I regularly wore under the blazer to church.

  They broke up again and I had gotten a boyfriend. No, it wasn’t Olu, it was actually Ade and I’ll tell you how it happened. So the year nine students had finished all their important exams and had no reason to be in school. Those who actually came, were just there for their girlfriends or because their houses were boring.The school actually planned some activities for them but even students not involved, thought they were boring. And that was why sometimes, the lines reserved for year nine students would be empty on some days during assembly.

  Now like I said before, church was always on sundays. We weren’t like those folks who would go to church everyday of the week but we never forgot about church on sundays. Even if mama wanted us to be going more frequently. And because she was a minister, we couldn’t just go for either of the two services, we had to be present for both.My church, The Living Rock, was never popular with the young adults. And by young adults, I meant people closer to my age bracket than my grandma’s. We never really had a new kid, always some new old couple or married couple just moving in. I couldn’t complain because when I tho

  The year nine students had begun their first round of exams, the British one and because of that we couldn’t go downstairs for lunch or collect our snacks. The only good side about it was being served in containers and having our snacks brought to us in the middle of class. The bad thing, teachers would continue teaching even while we were meant to be having break.The people in management would find ways to come to our classes and remind us to pray and be well behaved. Our school was looking for opportunities to be accredited by the institute and they believed that our proper behaviour was tied to their success. Of c

  I believe we are all aware of the phenomenon called 'everything that can go wrong will go wrong?' You don't know, shocked! I can't believe there'll be anyone on this planet earth who doesn't know that. I mean I live under a rock, media wise and I know it. Anyways, what it means is that if you think something can go wrong just because it can then there'll come a day when it would definitely go wrong and you'll be so surprised. That was Friday for us.I
