2020-09-08 02:25:28Standing before my mirror, I can see a transformed girl. No longer the small girl of yesterday, but a full grown woman. My new hairdo has made me change a lot. I wore a blue jumpsuit that has a v line neck and a small black jacket with white dots. This is it, am leaving home to live an independent life. This felling is mixed, happiness to explore, sadness of leaving home, and fear of what might happen.
“Beli! Sonia is already here ohh, hurry up,” kelvin shouted from the living room,“I am coming ahhh!”
Entering the living room, i sight Sonia dressed in a beautiful red sleeveless gown that flared from the waist. she is indeed beautiful.
“chiai! (Seriously) i can empty my account to take you to America babe.” I rolled my eyes at Kelvin's pickup lines. let me let you guys on a secret. kelvin has been crushing on sonia ever since I befriended her in class 5.
“Abeg (please) Which account? Common nokia alo alo, you don’t have, abeg jor go and sleep.” sonia said laughing.
“I will be like you one day ohh.” he shouted
“Ahammm!” Dad cleares his throat behind us “Good evening Uncle Dan,” sonia greets him while standing up
“Aha sonia, how are you and your parents?” My father is very strict with my friends, sonia is the only friend I have because my father knows her parents.
“Soni! wow honey you look good.” my mum appreciates sonia. She is like her second mum just like mama Bomah sonia's mother,
“Thank you mummy Yenny.” Haha sistre is blushing. I secretly took a picture of her, I will tease her later with it.
“Oh my God Daniel! see your daughter ohhh, she has grown tall and beautiful. chia (seriously) am getting old,” mum's eyes are already glossy
“Abeg (please) she is not tall, remove those heels and see magic,” I know am short but kelvin makes sure he reminds me anytime I wear heels.
“Jealousy oh! kelvin, You still have two years to be like me,” I stocked my tongue out at him,
“see me you ohh! see this fine boy, charismatic-” he pointed at himself while standing on the sofas.
“My friend go to your room, charismatic my foot,Show me that on your book.” mum scolds.
My dad just chuckled from his position on the love seat sofa while browsing through his phone. Sonia is wiping tears from her eyes due to laughing so hard from her position on one of the chairs.
Mum discreetly slid a 5000FRS note in to my hand and winks, God this woman. “Mum I wan-”
“Kelvin go to your room or shut up!” mum cuts' him off knowing what he wanted to say, he grumbled and returned back to his seat.
“Zoe take,” dad hand's me another 5000 FRS CFA note, and Sonia a 2000 FRS CFA note.
“Daddy thank you!” my thirty two teeths are all out, showing my gratitude.
“Thank you uncle Dan.” we are almost at the door when dad speaks,
“Zoe stay away from boys and alcohol, You know the consequences.” he warned.“yes sir!” I mock saluted him.
Getting out of the gates, I heard dad scolding kelvin, “I don’t like the way you look at Sonia, I know that look,”
“But dad, she is just m...” their voices faded as we board a taxi to the town hall.

Upon reaching, we could already here music playing 'na God deh win'. This is strictly for fun, but I am not use to such due to my background.
We got in, greeted some class mates and took our seats. we are soon served, I take Malta and Sonia got, Oh no, “Sonia that’s alcohol oh!”
“Relax, it’s just for tonight, spread your wings and fly baby girl.” I am flabbergasted. So soon?
“When you get to ongola, there will be no one to say; No alcohol, no this, no that, devotion time, pray. In short man na free man now oh(we are now free).” che speaks for the first time and I realise they all have alcoholic drinks except Brandon the elders son and I.
The funniest thing is, they are all christens, born and breed in church, leaders children. Jesus is this how the university will be?
On my second drink, the waitress comes with an extra Malta bottle,
“sorry I didn’t order that.” she rolled her eyes,
“It’s from the guy over there.” and she points at him, the sight makes me speechless.

Very fair in complexion, a contrast to my dark beauty skin, tall and over all handsome. He is seated at the corner of the hall and waves at me “Beli gosh, you’ve just won a jackpot,” Sonia squealed like five year old, gosh girls!“Do you know who that guy is beli?” when she saw the confused look on my face, she rolles her eyes,“Erica tell her, abeg (please) tell before I faint.” she spoke fanning herself with her hands.“Well that hottie over there is Jerimiah Henshaw, the governor of the North West Region's son, Adolf Henshaw l'Afrik.” she speaks with all the dramatic effects, no doubt she is the drama queen of the school. But I am confused, what is he doing here?“And what is he doing here?” I voice out my thoughts.“Do I care? Beli I don’t give a damn, all I know is that I have to know him better before the night ends.” she winks at him, i have never seen this sid

Only the subtle sound of cutlarries is heard as we all eat on the big mahogany table. (dont ask me how they use fork instead of hands to eat fufu, Mr yenny can answer that) And of course kelvin's way of chewing. like a pig. he has no care of the world right now, it almost made me loss my appetite. key word almost.I have been glaring at him for a while now, but he hasn't noticed or felt it because his nose is so deep in his plate of food like a pig searching the dirt.gosh! men and food."Zoe do want to chop off your brother's head with your eyes?" amusement could be felt in his tone, meaning mum had calmed him down. And oh! he is trying to apologise. old man try harder."Don't you know i-" He tries speaking with his mouth full of food."Haa!" mum and I shout together. eww this boy is disgusting."Must you talk with food in your mouth?" she shouts again.

Upon reaching home, dad's white Toyota Hilux is already in our little fenced yard. Apart from being a principal, he is a deacon at our church winners chapel. He carries Christians from the different corners of the village every Sunday to church. Reason why according to him, hilux is the best kind of car he needs. He loves doing it.“He has given me success, I will lift him higher, Jehovah I will lift him higher.” my mum's voice is loud as she sings and dances' in the living room and guess what? She is shading tears.“Literature A grade, History A grade, English B grade, French C grade. aha zoe come here,” my dad's tone is unmistakably harsh immediately killing the joyful atmosphere in the house.“I told you to put more efforts in studying French given that it was the only subject you had difficulties with, but no, you decided to neglect it and get a C grade zoe. And worst of all, English your first language, you get a B grade.

My father is the principal but leave it to him to disappear when he is needed most. He could have told me the results and put me out of this misery. But no, He is God knows where. I know he has already seen my results, but he wants to frighten the hell out of me.Upon reaching school, it is already crowded with both parents and students. some are crying, while others are laughing happily.Some parents are scolding their children, and others are hugging theirs with proud similes on their faces. In short, it is an unexplainable chaos."Beli beli," I turn to see my best friend Sonia. Haha nervousness is written all over her face. I thought I was the only one left. I thought to myself."Soni how far?" she uses the sleeve of her polo shirt to wipe the sweat on her face."Abeg abeg (please) let us go to that board massa. (My friend) I can die here, my heart is doing praise and worship." if I wasn't nervous, I would have laughed out my lungs at her

"2:14 pm." my younger brother kelvin keeps reminding me of the time. It has been three months since we wrote the GCE exams and the results are to be published today at 3:00pm.Nervousness is an understatement. I can't feel any part of my body, "Kelvin stop it, i beg of you . I will die oh guy." I spoke entering the living room in a slim black jeans and purple t- shirt."Did I ask you to come out? very soon you will walk around claiming big sister. Big sister oh! GCE results have been published in school go and see how you have carried the whole class on your head." He spoke nonchalantly while drinking his garri."Mummy! mummy! see eh, warn kelvin oh. I will die oh, how can he say I will be the last?" I am at the verge of tears. Do you know how it feels to be waiting for something your life depends on and someone jokes like that? No you don't."Eh eh eh eh God is my witness oh, I didn't say you will be the last. Dear sister, you can either carry the
