“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 side of sonia, i guess it's maturity? Freedom? Oh the alcohol?
“Well, he is a friend of Maxwell, they are together in the medical school in Yaoundé. It’s also a part of the big university like ASMAC for communicators and other branches for the different fields. He came to visit his parents, and yesterday when he came over to see max, they heard me talking with che about the gala and decided to come along for fun.”
“So Brand, you want tell me say that Greek god deh stay for wuna house? Since when na guy?” (So brand, you actually mean to say that Greek god is living in your house? Since when?) Melody, the pidgin box of the school speaks up, not that she does not know English, she is always like; 'pidgin na my identity' (pidgin English is my identity)
“Uhuhh, they came in yesterday from Bamenda,” Brandon answeres taking a sip from his drink. His brother is one of the village elites, very kind, I remember he use to help me when I got bullied in school.
“And why didn’t you inform me Brandon? In short ehh, i am now your sister, we will go home together.” Sonia speaks throwing glances at him.
“Soni baby chill, masa (my friend) chill ok. He is over there, be brave like some of us.” Melody speaks getting up and no, no, no, she is going towards their table.
It’s like blood stopped flowing in my body, Jesus! I feel so ashame to the extent that I had to hide my face.
“Na so! na so my girl, we run the world, if you likam you takam.” erica cheered while the guys just laugh.
(Well done my girl, if you love it, go for it.)
“And you! he even bought you a drink, that was an open invitation yet you sat here like holy mary, abeg beli you deh vex me sef.” (I am already angry with you) wait oh, do we have a problem?
“You can go there too, take the drinks so it will be like he bought it for you,” because of a boy? What’s the meaning of this?
“Sorry ok, ahhh! See eh, I was just carried away with the good looks of that guy, the thing is seriously dealing with my head.” is sonia by any means around here?
“Jesus, i am looking for the Sonia I came here with,” I began looking under the chairs. I can’t believe this, It’s not that am puis, but for someone to radically change in the twinkle of an eye is unbelievable.
“Beli don’t worry, she is already getting drunk,” che said, oh my God her father will kill her,
“We are leaving guys, sonia get up lets go!” I said getting up and trying to take her with me,
“Leave me alone ah ah! did we come together? Party never finish, you want go?” (Why do you want to go when the party isn’t over yet) she is sluring, gosh! she is gone.
“Beli its ok, don’t bother yourself, we are neighbours it won’t be hard to take her home. You can go, there are no more performances, its dancing till dawn.”
I accepted che’s offer, picked up my bag, said my good bye and left.
I am almost crossing the road to take a taxi home when I hear someone calling my name, “Zoe! Zoe!”
Dad is the only one who calls me zoe, he is not here, it’s not his voice, then who is it?

Standing 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!

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.

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!
