Read The Story I got home,took my bath and switched off my phone. I went through my stuffs to ensure that I had packed everything I needed. I slept off. The next morning,I woke up around 9am. . Dad has left for work while mum was preparing the meal I’ll leave to school with. I did the morning chores that was left and around 11:30am,mum drove me to school. Not much words were said before she left. My friends that were back helped me to carry my things to the ss3 hostel. I unpacked,cleaned my corner and went to Chidimma’s corner. Did I say she had become my best friend? Upon seeing me,she jumped on me and her next question left guilts all over me; Chidimma: Ehe. Welcome o. So why didn’t you tell me that you and Raymond are dating? I kept quiet and stared at her. Chidimma: Ehe. Guilty conscience. You told me everything but you didn’t add that one. Me: Its not it o. Didn’t feel it was necessary to mention it. But who told you? She laughed and clapped her hands Chidimma: I don’t...

Read The Story I got home and kept on thinking about what Frank said. Am I just infatuated with this guy? Is he not old enough to be in a relationship? Did he really hate me? These were the thoughts running in my head about Raymond. Since he had not called,I decided that he meant it. I will move on with Frank. The way he listened to me,the way he aired his mind,I knew he was a strange fellow; a sadist this minute and a happy man the next. If he could talk to me like that today,that means I could change him to be a better person. Two weeks into the break,Frank and I became an item. I would go on my evening stroll with him,we would steal kisses when we felt people were not watching. We went to local bars every Sunday evenings and danced our hearts out. Yes! Frank was a beautiful dancer. I’m yet to meet a guy who dances like him. One day,I was on my way back from the market when a Lady walked up to me. She was on a baggy short and tight black top. Her hair cut was fabulous beca...

Read The Story Frank: This one you called,hope there is no problem? Me: Frank,I want to see you. Can I? Frank: Yes please. Where are you? Me: I’m at home. Mum and dad will soon be leaving the house for their meeting place. I’ll call you when they leave so that you’ll tell me where we can see. Frank: Expecting your call then. I hung up. Mum and dad normally went for their kindred meetings every Sunday. I was sure they were going to leave soon so I went into the bathroom, took my second bath for the day and quickly went in search of a cloth to wear. The next hour,I was sitting opposite Frank at a joint that was not too far from our street. Frank: Nwa,what is the problem? He asked after I refused to take anything or even put a smile. Me: Can you be able to listen to me and not judge me? He looked puzzled by my question. Me: If you can’t,its alright. Frank: Baby,nobody is perfect. We all have aspects of our lives where we male mistakes so tell me what the problem is. Me: Y...

Read The Story I went home on a Saturday. As usual,everyone was at home to welcome me. My sister got admission to study mass communication in IMT that year. After the welcoming ritual,we were all informed by daddy that we won’t be travelling to the village. My siblings were not happy but I was. My sister would be coming home the following week. After dinner,I went to my room and brought out my phone. I turned it on and called all my contacts(except Vivian and Raymond). I told them I was home and they were happy. They all wanted to hang out but I told them it won’t be soon because I had work to do(meeting and reconciling with Raymond). I had planned to use Chidimma as an excuse to get him to talk to me. I wasn’t going to talk to Vivian. I don’t know why she stopped talking to me and I don’t care to know. We were beefing so let it remain like that. Frank called me around 11pm. Frank: Runaway girlfriend. I smiled. Me: I’m not your girlfriend o. Frank: That’s your business. Juni...

Read The Story And so,one week later,I found myself in a new school. It was more of a convent because it was an only girls school which belonged to reverend sisters. It was the same school where my sister wrote her waec. I found it very hard to cope. You know girls and their life nau. They were waiting for me to approach them and I too,can’t be the first to go to them. I became an island. The only consolation was that I bonded with the teachers immediately. The maths and economics master,the Igbo mistress,the literature mistress,they all loved me. Why? I was good in their subjects. Yes! Let me answer your question,I’m a science student but I did literature. I hated geography because of the map reading so I went for literature. Two weeks after resumption, a girl in my class walked up to me. I didn’t even know her name so she introduced herself as Chidimma. Chidimma: Rose. Me: Yes? I looked up from my book. She sat down on my locker. Chidimma: You schooled at (she called V...

Read The Story I heard banging on the door that led to the top floor of the building. Ahn ahn! I thought Raymond said nobody comes upstairs. What’s the knocking for nau? I la!d still. Few minutes later,the door to the room I was in was flung open. Who did I see? Raymond. I smiled…..but hey,who was that behind him? I strained my neck to see. It was Frank. Goodness gracious! I’m finished. I looked at Raymond and damn,his eyes were filled with anger and hatred. Raymond: Better get up from there. Your dad and my mum are at the door. You should have seen the shock on my face. Me: What? Raymond: Yes! Your boyfriend here and your dad came and fetched me from school and I had to bring them here. Please get up. I looked at Frank and he was full of smiles. He sat on a white plastic chair in the room and looked at me. Frank: Why do you like doing things that will affect everyone around you? Look at the stress you’re putting your dad through. Raymond; See eh,no need for too mu...

Read The Story I got to the front of his house and I started feeling my stupidity. I didn’t leave with my phone and I didn’t even call him. How was he going to know I was around? I stood in front of the gate and some minutes later,the gate opened. It was his mum. She owned a bar beside the house and that was where she was going to. Me: Good evening ma She looked at me with a frown. Mrs: Good evening. Why are you standing there? Are you waiting for someone? I quickly remembered what Raymond said about his mother not supporting any relationship at that time so I had to keep quiet. Me: Not at all ma. I’m resting here. Will soon move on to where I’m going. Mrs: Okay. She walked away. I continued with my thought. How was I going to alert Raymond? I spent about thirty minutes more before Raymond came out of the gate. He was surprised to see me. Raymond: Hey! What are you doing here? Me: Good evening. Raymond: Thanks but what are you doing here? Me: I left home. Raymond; You...

Read The Story He slapped me and dragged me to a building. He held my arm strongly and it hurt. I winced in pain but he would have none of it. Frank: You don’t talk to Frank anyhow you want. Nobody runs their mouth in my presence. Me: You want to deprive me of my freedom of speech whereas you claim you love me. Frank this rubbish is not love o. Frank: Shut up. You keep quiet when I talk. Me: Impossible. He wanted to slap me again but I don’t know what stopped him. I had to make use of that opportunity. It was talk or die with it. Me: Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? How many times have I heard that you fought your fellow man? Its in the body of vulnerable ladies that you practice karate. Frank,this is the second time you’re hitting me and let it be your last. How can you force me into a relationship with you when you already have a girlfriend who is as notorious as you? Don’t you ever lay a finger on me again. Frank: And who says I have some other girl? You should be gratef...

Read The Story Skipoo and I met in school the next day. He cancelled our supposed Sunday date and though I was happy,I pretended not to be. His excuse was that he was going to visit his mother who didn’t live with them. He also asked me out,he was gentleman enough to be the one that asked me to think about it. Skipoo was a handsome guy,dark in complexion and had a nice sense for fashion. His real name was Chukwuemeka. Funny enough,I liked him but I couldn’t agree to his request because I felt nothing for him. Two weeks before summer lessons ended,Raymond asked me out. Was I happy,yes I was. Though I can’t recall the exact words he used but I know I didn’t give him the “let me think about it” response. I agreed to his request immediately and we bonded. Raymond was(is) a lovely guy,fair,handsome,Sekxy,his eyes were small and Sekxy and his lips,let me not talk much. His English was perfect,he had a good choice of clothing and in fact,he was perfect. We would always talk late into...

Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+) Read The Story That night,Raymond called me. We talked at length (that was the era of midnight calls). He told me about his family,his dad was late,his mum was still young and took care of the house,he was the only son and he had two sisters. I also repeated my own family story to him. I got to know that he lived beside my church. The house they were living in belonged to his uncle so he gave to them to reduce some burdens from their mum. He also told me that he was crushing on me back then in primary school but hebfelt I was still too young to be approached then. We laughed over it and talked about other things that were not even important. The summer lessons became more fun. I stopped waiting for Vivian before leaving for the school,I won’t even bother if she came around or not. Lois was always there,from the class to the canteen,back to class and we’ll head home together and part at the junction. Patrick called sometimes,the same with Sk...

Me: Happy to meet you too. So you school here or you’re a foreigner like me? She laughed at my dry sense of humour. Lois: I school here Me: That’s nice. I came with Vivian. Lois: Oh! Vivian. That’s cool. We had small talks about our families and I got to realise that she was from a rich family and also the last child. Me: I’m hungry. Can we go outside and buy something to eat? Lois: There’s a canteen here. Let’s go and get something there. Bills on me please. Me: Mba o. On me. Lois; Please don’t argue. Let it be my first treat to you as my friend. We can do shifts from tomorrow. I laughed hard. Me: Shifts kwa? You’re funny. Lois: Abi? Me: Yes. Anyway,you’ve won. Let’s go. We walked to the second floor and she bought two canned cokes and sausages. We took them there and went back to the em...

Read The Story *****SUMMER LESSON****** We got to school around some minutes past 10. I was dressed to look my best,you know,first impression matters a lot. The first person my eyes saw was an elderly lady in her mid forties. I quickly did a flashback to see if she was there in my primary school days and yes,she was. With a smile on my face,I went to her. Me: Aunty Chi-chi,good morning ma. She looked at me and her face quickly lit up. Aunty: Rose? Ah! What are you doing here? she asked giving me a hug? I think that was when she noticed Vivian. Me: I came for the holiday lesson with my friend. I pointed at Vivian who came closer. Vivian: Good morning ma. Aunty: Good morning. Rose,how are your parents? You didn’t change facially. Look how big you’ve grown. Me: Aunty,its God o. Mum and dad are fine. Aunty: You people just left us.

Read The Story I raced downstairs and into the kitchen. She was already done so I just decided to keep her company. Some minutes later,mum walked into the kitchen. Mum: Rose,your dad just finished speaking to your uncle about our decision to get you enrolled into another school. Ella; Did he give his consent? Mum: He refused at first. Saying that Rose is a bright student but your father had to give him your reasons and he had no reason to refuse. Ella and I heaved sighs of relief. Uncle was a very difficult man. Mum: He also complained about your result. Me: Did I fail? Mum: No. But you were moved to “C” class. Ella: I knew I wouldn’t do well. I just lost it this year. I wanted to cry and shout at Lawrence but recalling that mum and dad already agreed to my request,I consoled myself. Mum: Its okay. I’m even glad you’re out of the school. You need to write waec close to home,maybe where Ella wrote hers. Me: Thank you mum. Ella: Thank you mum. Mum: You’re welcome girls...

Read The Story On Sunday evening,mum and dad asked me to wait behind after dinner. We( Ella and I) cleared the table and while she did the dishes,I went to answer mum and dad. Dad: Sit down. I sat down adjacent to dad and opposite mum. Me: Thank you sir. Dad: What difficulty are you finding in school? It suddenly hit me. Ella had told them about my desire to go to another school. I had to cook up a lie but I didn’t have time. Mum: Nne,what problem are you having in school? Me: Mum,the food and my inability to make good friends. Dad: What are you saying? Five years in that school and you don’t have a friend? He wasn’t angry but I could sense the doubt. Me: My best friend left after junior waec. We became seniors and every girl wanted to be in the best group of friends. I had to keep to myself. Through the corner of my eye,I saw dad nod his head. Dad: Your uncle tells me you are the prayer prefect. I’m proud of you my dear. At least,you let our light shine in a far away st...

Read The Story Every term’s examinations lasts for two weeks,after that,we would spend another one week waiting for teachers to finish with the results. But this term,I didn’t wait. I knew I wasn’t going to do well so what’s the point of waiting? Coupled with the fact that I had to put up with seeing Nenye everyday. It is true that I never saw or heard of the two of them together but I already hated them for ruining my life in school. I became a shadow of the Rose everyone loved. The only person I talked to was Regina and my seatmate. I became so lean. I faked sickness and being that the principal likes me a lot,he signed my exit card and asked me to go home. My uncle promised to get my result and send it home. Everyone was in school. The ss3s were long gone so I packed my properties and took them to the dormitory reserved for the female functionaries. I locked up everything that belonged to me,picked my box and school bag and left the hostel. I left my belongings at the security...

Read The Story I tried to make sure it was the two of them I was seeing. I walked closer and was expecting a miracle to happen but,it was the two of them. Me: Lawrence? They both turned and froze. Nenye adjusted her gown and faced me properly. She had no remorse on her. She brushed past me after staring at me for a while. I was looking at Lawrence but he couldn’t look back. The tears refused to flow. I felt it in my head and my ears but they refused to flow. I made to walk away but he stopped me. Law: Baby,let me explain. I wanted to slap this guy. What will he explain? That they were acting out a script or that he wanted to test me to know how much I loved him. Me: What do you want to explain? Tell me,here I was looking for you to tell you the rumour that has being going round,and,here you are,frolicking with the same girl who has being saying stupid things about us. Law: How? He asked adjusting his shorts and coming down the stairs Me: She didn’t tell you? I won’t eith...

Read The Story We walked out of the library and I led her to the lab building which was a different building. We got to the biology lab and sat down. The lab was open to all senior students during school hours. Me: Reg,where did you hear that rubbish from? Reg: Nne,calm down. I heard it from Judith. Me: Judith? How can Judith say something like that? Reg: I asked her where she heard it from and she said that Chinenye was the one who claimed to have seen you and Lawrence together. Me: Where? Reg: Behind the canteen. I won’t lie. I felt relieved. If she had said the waec hall,I would have cooled down immediately but thank God,she wasn’t even sure of what she was saying. Chinenye always had an eye on Law. She wanted him and she doesn’t even hide it. Me: I need to teach that girl a lesson. How can she be saying such unholy things? Reg: But everyone is saying that you two are up to something. Me: Law is my boyfriend but we’re not yet official. I told you nah. We just do things ...

We don’t need to rush things. Me: But I want to Law: Baby,let’s not rush things. I want to take you gracefully,not in a place like this. You deserve better than loosing your virginity in a waec hall. Baby,let’s wait ok. For once,I was very proud to be a virgin. I hugged him and he pecked my forehead. He helped me with my clothes and we dressed up. We cuddled on that table and five minutes later,the warning bell was rung. Law: Baby,let me open the door for you and you’ll go down first before people fill the corridor Me: Okay. We’ll see tomorrow Law: Good night Me: Good night too. This time,I did the pecking. We quietly went down the stairs and he opened the door after looking to be sure that nobody was around.

Read The Story Law: I’m crazy about you. You’re in my head,my thoughts,everywhere,what do I do about this? Tell me Rose,what do I do? I myself was also getting crazy about this guy. Why did I even refuse him at first? There was no need answering that question. I was already hot just being with this guy. I pushed myself further into his body and he wrapped me with his muscular hands. They were so welcoming. I looked at his face and he was looking down at me,his lips were so inviting. I attacked them with a fierceness I never knew I had. His lips were so soft and I just didn’t want to stop kissing him. He slid his tongue into my mouth and I sU-Cked on them. At this point,I cared less about the management or any student catching us. I felt his hardness on my upper thigh. He wanted me and I wanted him too. He began feeling my body. He let his hands stop its journey on my b0s0m. He fondled them gently and I let out a m0an. He stopped and looked at me. Law: Baby,let’s go upstairs. Me...

One day during night prep,Lawrence came to my class and called me out. I was used to that but that day,he looked very uncomfortable. I went outside with him but he didn’t stop,he walked down the hall into the dark staircase leading up to the waec hall. It was out of bound for all students but the senior students normally went there at night to do one or two stuffs. He stopped and faced me. I was worried. He had never brought me there. What was that look on his face? He looked different. Me: What is the problem? It was like my question opened the tap to his tears. Tears ran down his face and I was forced to hug him so tight.

Read The Story Thinking the answer would provoke Frank,I made to apologise immediately only to see him looking less concerned. Frank: I came to realise that you stopped coming home because of me. Me: Says who? Frank: Saying what my mind has being telling me. Me: You’re wrong. I lied. Frank: Nne,I’m sorry for the last time. I’ve come to realise that I can’t get everything I want violently. You said you loved me and I chased you away with my wrongs. I’m willing to make things right. I promise never to hurt you anymore.

I still failed to believe that he was my visitor. Me: What are you doing here? Frank: To see you of course. I have missed you a lot since you stopped coming home. There was something strange about him. He no longer had that rugged look. He even had a normal hair cut instead of the long Mohawk he was known for. Me: What if my parents were here? Frank: I knew that they won’t be here. Me: How? Frank: I wanted to come yesterday but your brother told me your mum was already on the way. Me: You talked to junior? Frank: Yes nah.

Read The Story Check out that feeling that you get when you say something and people will be like,”upon she’s a prayer prefect”,or “look at prayer prefect doing this thing.” I faked smiles while I got my congratulations. Lawrence came to my class and hugged me. He said my certificate would be the best since the principal and priest saw me holy enough to be made the prayer prefect. We were supposed to meet with the ss3s that handled our posts for directions,but in my case,my superior came to me..She noticed how displeased I was with my post and she tried her best to make me see the brighter side of it. School activities moved on in full speed,the same way Lawrence paved his way into my life with full speed. We went almost everywhere together. He would force me to go with him to a certain place. He would also end up making me enjoy doing that activity with him. I became lively once more. The only thing that was missing in my life was my friends. I even forgot all about Ebuka...

Read The Story I stopped crying but refused to open the door. I prayed silently that she should leave before I use some cold words on her. She stopped knocking. I didn’t hear her voice again. About five-six minutes later,I heard a knock on the door to my room. I couldn’t come out because I didn’t know if it was Vivian’s plot to get me out of the bathroom. Vivian: Rose,am leaving o. Your brother said that you’re needed downstairs. I’ll come back tomorrow. I had to sound good so she won’t suspect I was avoiding her. Me: Nne,am purging. Vivian: Eiyaa. You would have told me earlier than keeping quiet. Mind what you eat inugo (you hear)? Me: Thank you. Greet your mum for me. Vivian: Okay. I heard the door close. I said a quick prayer and turned on the shower and let the water calm my nerves. I came out of the bathroom,dressed up and went downstairs. The rest of the week went by immediately and before I knew it,I was on my wat back to school,with dad on the wheel and me,just be...

Read The Story She threw herself on the bed pulling me along. She started tickling back,my ribs,my stomach,I was so lost in laughter that I didn’t feel her hand on my b0s0m. When I eventually did,I looked at her and memories of our primary school days came rushing back to my head. I couldn’t stop her. She started kissing my neck. I wanted to fight it but I was loving the feeling. I started giving out little m0ans. Of course she took as my approval of what she was doing so she climbed on top of me and started grinding her crotch on mine. She was kissing my neck and fondling my breasts at the same time. I was putting on a chemisole and a short,no bra or pant because I don’t enjoy wearing innerwears when I’m at home. I was so lost in the heat of the moment that I didn’t even know when my chemisole was pulled down to my stomach. I felt a cold air on my Tips and I shuddered and quickly opened my eyes. She smiled at me before feeding herself with my Tips. She sU-Cked on the left and used h...

Read The Story The following day being Sunday,I followed the family to church. I sat in between mum and dad. During offertory,I saw Frank My heart skipped and started doing some somersaults. I hid myself in the queue and hurried back to my seat. I thanked God that it was the last Sunday service I would be attending. After service,dad drove us home and during lunch,Vivian showed up. She joined us at the table after which we left for my room. We both walked into the room and I bolted the door. I always did that because my younger bro enjoyed coming to join me in my room anytime I had a visitor,and you know,its always awkward(girls who have younger ones that do this will understand better). Me: Welcome Vivian: Don’t welcome me biko Me: Ahn ahn. what’s the problem? Vivian: You don’t like me again. That response was the last thing I expected. I looked at her and her face was so tight. She looked serious and a bit upset. Me: Who told you that one nah? Are you not the only friend ...

What have I gotten myself into? Me: wha . . .what are you trying to say now? He looked at me and smiled. Frank: Good. You’re a good girl. I talk and you listen. If you don’t understand,you tell me and I’ll explain to you my love. Don’t raise your voice on me or try battling words with me and you won’t regret being my girl. All I’m saying is that we are now together and you’ll never lack. He dropped the cigarette and touched my face. Frank; You are beautiful and I love you very much. Tears ran down my face. What am I going to do? Did he say lack? Did I ever mention to him that I lacked anything? What will he give me that I don’t have? Is this how he treated Vivian and she still loved him to fight over him? Oh Jesus! Tell me what to do. Frank: Don’t cry. Please don’t cry. I know you love me as w...
