ORANGE ROSE PEARL(CHAPTER ONE)         I have been friends with pearl since primary school,she was smart and pretty, even her name was  nicer than mine.At some point I was a bit envious of her. She was from an average family but when compared to mine,her family is Rich. We attended the same evening Jamb lessons.         One day,while we were coming back from lesson,one man walked up to us. I still remember what he said    "Hi pretty girls,can I know your name". Mere looking at him,I knew he was by far older than us,we were seventeen at that time.    " why would you like to know our names sir?I asked even though I knew he wasn't interested in me but pearl.      "I just really love to know your name" he said smiling, I hated his smile.      In an hurry,trying to walk faster,I said "you don't have to know ou......,just

PEARL (CHAPTER THREE)       One Friday,I went to lesson and Pearl wasn't in lesson,we usually go together but since she met Mr Prince we stopped going to call each other at each others house and just said hello in lesson.        Throughout the classes,I kept thinking about Pearl,I wondered if she was sick,I decided to visit her at home. On my way to her house,I saw her mom. She asked why I wasn't with Pearl, then I realised Pearl wasn't at home. I told her mom she had something to do in lesson,that was why I left her.      "But you always go and come back together,you don't even come to our house these days,did you girls fight? I told her we didn't have any misunderstanding but she was right, I didn't do anything with Pearl. Just because I didn't like being called jealous I gave her space and that was not just right.        At home I forgot to clean the toilet and my mom

PEARL (CHAPTER FIVE)        When I visited Pearl,I told her she could speak but she didn't really say much,she just said Mr Prince hears her out. I told her i felt bad she wasn't being free with me but she just laughed and ended the topic.       I told her I didn't like Mr Prince and she should stop seeing him or else he may takes advantage of her innocence and that was when she finally said what happened        "You know my drawings,my parents doesn't want it,they don't like it and they are still angry I picked art over science, they want me to be a doctor like my brother. And we chatted on WhatsApp, me and Him,he seemed nice,he convinced me to go to his house and I saw him on way to lesson, I showed him my drawing and he said he loved it,he even asked me to draw him,it was comfortable till he started asking me to enter his house,then I left and walked around before goi

PEARL (CHAPTER SEVEN)                      After some days,I asked Pearl if Mr Prince still sends her photos but she said no. I was glad that he stopped coming and felt grateful that the strict looking lady intervened that day.        One Monday evening while coming back from lesson,the sky was cloudy and it was about to rain,the path to my house was quiet as usual, on days like this,it was scary to walk alone. I was alone because Pearl didn't come to lesson,she told me she wasn't sure she would come since she was going to fix her hair. it seems   like she didn't fix her hair on time. I would have visited her but the weather wasn't friendly.           It was just me,my mom and my younger brother at home because my daddy travelled and my younger brother was asleep. I was waiting for my mom to sleep since I was waiting for a television pro
