School made me miserable.. Oh well.
I had considered dropping out of school about twice.... Just kidding, about a hundred times.
Olivia was really drifting away from us but school work made us too occupied to even care.
Debra had recently gotten into a fight with a law student and the police was even involved because Debra had beaten the girl blue and black.
It all started from a little argument and we knowing how Debra was, we were not surprised to know she'd actually beat up the student.
Alisa had to get her boyfriend to help her out. We couldn't inform her parents because we were really scared to do that.
Debra even spent a night in the station, Alisa and I had to make sure she had food.
Dike, Alisa's boyfriend finally helped Debra out.
On the way back to hostel, we were quiet all through but when Dike dropped
OLIVIA'S POVThis sucks! It's so boring hanging out with these two.No magic happened, nothing, nothing nothing and I felt like Cora was slacking.I mean look at this guy, a very mature fresh 'somebody' and here she was all like 'hi I'm Cora and I like 5 alive'.I hated the way she and the other girls acted and that was why I chose to do things with Jennifer.Jenny was the wild realistic type unlike they that caused trouble everywhere.She wasn't as childish as they were.. They didn't want to grow up so I just had to give them space.I was very sure Cora was probably hitting on Ronald even when she still had Derrick but again, she was still sticking to her 'ohh I'm still a virgin, I don't need sex yet'Girl, you gats lose that virginity tonight!You can't be the holy Mary around.Yeah call me jeal
I woke up feeling terribly bad.I looked around at my poorly dimmed room.The bed clock ticked loudly, I was irritated, I wanted to snatch it and fling it across the room but wait.... I had no bed clock!I can never be sensible enough to decide to buy a bed clock.This wasn't my room, reality gradually dawned on me. I nervously looked around.. I jumped out of my....the bed.The room was painted white, oh God! My hostel room was painted yellow.There were two doors, I pushed one and it led to the bathroom, I quickly pushed the other ignoring the strong headache I felt.I walked into a tight lobby, I walked straight on so sure I was heading to the living room.I walked into a wide living room... It was so wide but it felt cozy and was brightly decorated. I looked around, there were two ladies probably in their mid twenties.<
I promised myself that I would have absolutely nothing to do with Ronald ever again.Who did he think he is?I used to think he was a nice gentleman but no, he was just the Devil's apprentice.After I had gotten down from his car, I promised to send some assassin or something to go to his place, kill him and bring his head to me.... Yeah, it's not possible.Alisa on her part said he was a good guy, I didn't buy that, Alisa would call him a good guy today but tomorrow he becomes a bad person so it's best not to even listen to her.She told me how scared she was when I didn't come back after the school gate was locked. She said she had tried calling my line but it was switched off.She called Olivia but she wasn't picking.Debra had almost beaten Jenny because she was trying to make her confess what they planne
Cora, Alisa and I got closer than we used to be.Exams were around the corner, nobody wanted to fail... We never fail.Cora once made up her mind to stop talking with Ronald but Alisa made her understand that he wasn't at fault one bit, he was even kind enough to take care of Cora even when Olivia just disappeared like that.I noticed Cora didn't call him, neither did he call her. When I asked if she still chats with him, she said no.I helped Cora braid her hair one evening and I decided to talk to her."Cora""What? Deborah! You hardly call me Cora""and you also had to call me Deborah." I sighed."you called me Cora first!"fine Cora, I want to talk to you about... it's about Ronaldleyin""um... Sorry, who's that? She teased"you pig, I mean Ronald
when we got to the kitchen, i almost cried.what had i gotten myself into"while you're cooking, i'll have to quickly round off something i've been working on online okay. everything you need is here in the cabinet and i think peter kept the meat in the fridge. " with that he left to do whatever it was he was talking abouti wanted to slap myself, oh! i did that already.what was i going to doi couldn't cook, i could only make noodles and boil plain rice... and boil water too. you should taste my hot water!i quickly dialed debra, she would help.. i knew better than to call alisa, she was as bad as i, i bet she had never turned on a gas cooker before"look deborah odjirigho, you have to teach me how to make egusi soup " i cried into the phon"hmm, first, why did you call my surname and why do you want to cook egusi?"there's no time for
"I'm not your girlfriend, you shouldn't have lied to him." I protested loudly as I followed Ronald out of the house."Well, go back inside and tell the guy I lied to him" he said not turning back to look at meIf it was me of the old days, I would have gone back to tell that fat guy the truth. I didn't like to be dared"Where are we going to? We just came to the party not too long ago, we shouldn't leave now?" I asked as we finally got to the carHe turned back with this unsure expression o"didn't you just tell me you wanted to leave?""Well.... We can still stay a little longer." I shrugged. The day was still early, I wouldn't want to go back so soonHe totally ignored me as he got into the carI cursed him silently as I followed suit.Ronald" S PI wanted to help Cora clear her head from the iss
After that incident, I left the hospital and quickly took a bike to the hotel.I packed all my things and headed back to school.I called my twin, told him everything and he patiently listened to my crying more than talking. As usual he made me feel better.When Derrick gets better, I'll have to explain everything to him and if he feels he wouldn't continue with me, I'll gladly accept, focus on school and become a reverend sister!Alisa and Debra came back and I appreciated the fact they understood me and didn't mention anything that happened.Alisa only said I had to get some medicine."you look miserable, remember this old cartoon, fat dog Mendoza? That's how you look like " she said.I laughed at her effort to release the tension in the air.I laughed harder when Debra disagreed with a serious face " no,
He asked me to go brush!So my breath was that bad? I mean I knew it was bad but did he have to tell me. It was so embarrassing.I wasn't expecting anybody and I only wanted to imitate my stupid elder brother my not brushing till maybe 12, I just wanted to sleep all through.I swear I was going to cry, I was. Okay i wouldn't.He had seen me cry once when I broke my boyfriend's head and he hugged me when I did.I wasn't going to cry now. I was just going to take my tooth brush and go to the bathroom.Our room had a bathroom unlike others where they'd have to go to a share a bathroom down the hall.I remembered Aisha had thrown the toothpaste on the table, I silently walked over to get it, I didn't know when tears rolled down my cheeks, before I could clean it, the monster had noticed it already.I cleaned it anyway
