CHAPTER ONE
"Yeah!!!"my big sis yelled in excitement as she literally strolled into the sitting room where I and my parents were watching the popular soap opera 'Super Story'.
"Lily, what's this excitement all about?"my mum asked sounding annoyed at her interruption.
"Mummy, Daisy has passed the interview examination for Bright Stars Model Academy!"Lillian exclaimed, showing the sheet of paper which I presumed was my admission letter.
"Congratulations, Daisy darling!"my mum and dad said and both embraced me. My dad just collected the letter and scanned through the prospectus.
Inside me, I was boiling. I had never wanted to go to a day school. Sarah, my other sister, was in SS2 in Bright Stars Model Academy. I had had plans for boarding house which have now been spoilt by the idiot who marked the exam sheets, because I was quite sure that out of the 60 maths and english questions, I had answered only 26 or 20 correct so I would fail the exam and get sent to boarding house. I was already in a day school, a different one, that Dad withdrew me from after a scandal between a teacher and the principal and now he had planned to send me to Sarah's school which I so hate.
* * *
Am Daisy Mark, last child of a family of three. My sisters;Lillian and Sarah, and my parents;Rita and Felix Mark. My mum is a nurse and my dad a bank manager. Lillian is a student of the University of Uyo studying Accountancy and Sarah is in SS2 in BSMC. Sarah and I fought like cat and dogs on daily basis. Lillian was my beloved sister whom I respected and adored. She was also the only person in the house who Sarah feared. Back to my story...

CHAPTER TWO
Monday finally arrived. I had woken up early enough today to even my surprise. After having my bath and brushing, I dressed in my nee school uniform of a short sleeved baby-pink shirt and a navy blue flay skirt with white socks and black sandals. I packed up my newly braided hair so mum wouldn't say I looked irresponsible. Dad was ready to drop us; I and Sarah. We got to school early and after Sarah pointed out my class to me, she left me there.

I walked into the class, SS1C, very confidently. I've never been a shy type so I ignored the scores of eyes staring at me like I was some sort of alien from Neptune and headed over to an empty seat beside a girl wearing glasses in the middle row.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" I asked politely.
"No, you can sit," she replied. So i sat and unzipped my bag looking for an invisible item that i knew didnt exist inside.

CONTINUATION
I quickly did a quick scan around the class and discovered there were a lit of cute guys there anyway. The students kept staring at me and whispering in low tones like they were scared of me. And i liked it that way. The girls were probably upset that i was gonna give them enough competition over their guys. Their problem anyway.
"What's your name?"my new seatmate asked
"Daisy," i replied. "Urs?
"Oh, am Esther."
"Ok. Why are they staring at me like that?" I asked Esther.
"You're a transfer student na" she plainly replied. What a boring school, i moaned.
The day began. The first period was Government and by the end of the last periods before break time, i was interviewed by so many of the staff there.
During break i asked Esther to escort me to the school canteen cause I saw her as my only friend for the time being. She agreed but said she was going with some of her friends so i could join them. I saw no harm there so i joined them. There were about three girls plus Esther and I making it five. The girls were so eager to know me and asked me so many questions about my former school and why i chose to change schools and come to their school. They were even more surprised that Sarah was my sister.

"Sarah in SS2 is ur sister?"a girl asked
"Yes..why?"I asked in curiosty wonderin wat Sarah had been doing in this school that made her so popular.
"She's the school's choirmistress and the assistant choreography leader."Esther replied.
"She's so intelligent and bold and creative. You're so lucky to have her as a sister," another girl said. Hmm...i wish. If only they all knew how Sarah was at home. In school she was the wolf in sheep clothing. Good for her.
After break, while we were waiting for the next class, a girl walked in and started sharing invitation cards to some people. When she got to my desk, she looked at me curiously and asked,
"Are you a new student here?"
"Yeah," I replied. She shrugged and gave me a card too.
"Itz for my birthday party. It's on Saturday," she said and walked away to the next seat.
"Who is she?" I asked Esther
"Her name is Miriam. She's in science class. She's one of the 'wow' girls of our set," Esther replied rolling her eyes as she said the 'wow'.
By 2:35p.m, school was over and I went to Sarah's class so we could go home together as Mum had told me to. As soon as Sarah saw me outside her class, she signalled me to move inside, which I did.
"Hey, Sarah! Who's the cute chick?"a guy whose eyes fell on me as i walked in asked.
"She's my kid sister jhoor! Hands off o!"Sarah replied. She opened her bag and took out a N200 note and gave it to me.
"Swthrt, i cant come with you home, ok? That's ur share of the transport money," she said sweetly. Sarah had never called me sweetheart before, not even 'dear'. I hissed and took the money from her
As i was leavin her class, the guy followed me and stopped me.
"What's ur name?" He asked smiling
"What's ur problem?" I retorted back

"Whoa! Calm down girl. I knw ur annyoed at ur sister but itz ok, ok?" At those words i decided to give him a lending ear.
"I'm Daisy," i sluggishly replied.
"I'm Robert. Since ur sis is busy, why dont i escort you home?" Robert said without wasting time. I laughed.
Am a rily pretty girl, cuter than my sisters anyway. Av got curves at d right places and am well endowed both front and back(ladies knw wad i mean). So itz nt surprising whenever guys try to toast me. I had never dated a guy before cause i saw it as bondage. You gotta dress classic so ur guy wudnt feel ashamed to walk with u in school, u gotta do ur hair evry 3 days, spray ur mum's expensive perfume just so u dnt giv ur guy d impression dat u dnt bath...and stuff lyk dat. I wasnt ready for all that stress.
"Why are you laughing? Am serious," Robert said
"And what wud I tell my parents?" I asked, looking around for any of my new classmates so I could leave this Rush-Guy.
"Tell them am doing your sister a favour,"he replied with a casual smile. Just then, i spotted a girl from my class. I didnt even know her name but right now, that didnt matter.
"Robert, maybe some other time. I promised to walk home with her since she helped me a lot in class today," i said, admiring my beautiful lie.
"Oh...ok. But, can i see you tomorrow?"
"Whatever," i said and walked over to the girl.
"Hi," i greeted smiling.
"Excuse me?"the girl said looking at me with that 'Do i know u?' look.
"I'm that new girl in ur class. Daisy," i introduced.
"Ok...am Sandra. Everybody calls me Sandy."
"Ok..Sandy. I just wanted to know ur name and know more about you and maybe u could tell me some things about the school that i dont know?"
"Hasnt Esther already done that?" Sandra said. I could sense a hint of jealousy. Humph....girls! I muttered.
"Esther just started with the basics...nothing much sef,"i replied, encouraging her.
"Ok, but am going home right now. Are you on whatsapp?"she asked me.
"Yes.
"Uhmm..u can give me your number and i ll tell u abt it while we chat,"she suggested. I agreed and was about to tear a sheet of paper and write down my phone number, when she opened her bag and gave me her Nokia C3.
"You bring your phone to school?" I asked in surprise.
"Esther didnt really tell you anything,"she said and laughed.
"Who doesnt?"she added. I punched my number in her phone and saved it before i gave it back to her.
"Daisy? If you're bringing your phone to school, just dont get caught by any of the staff," Sandy advised.
"Thanks for the tip," i said.
"Bye girl. See you on whatsapp!" She said as we went our different directions.

Cheryluv, the only way people will get to know about this thread is if it is active i.e if you are updating and there are comments, no matter how little.
I will try my best in dragging the few followers that I have gathered over the years down here so they can read and comment.
Work on your description and spelling. Good to go you are.
At least one more update before 2pm.... Try it and you'll see results.

By the time, i got home, Sarah was already there and Mum was yelling and shouting at her.
"Ohhh..mummy ask her there na! Daisy, didnt i give transport money to come back home with?"Sarah asked me in annoyance.
"Yes you did," i replied.
"Why couldnt both of u come back together?"my mum went on ranting. I just left them there and went to my room. I immediately plugged my phone to the charger and switched it on. Am using a Techno Android and a backup Asha 201. I decided to carry the android to school, just to show those classmates of mine that i got a class of my own too. I was chatting on 2go with some of my other schoolmates in my former school, when i saw a whatsapp msg from a strange number. I knew at once that it was Sandra.
Me:hi...ur sandy, ryt?
Her:ya ya. U home yet?
Me:yes. Not too long i got back.
Her:i like ur profile pix
I immediately went to check what my profile pix was. It was a picture of me with two guys who were in my former school. They were both holding my waist while my hands were slung over their shoulders and i wrote on the pix:I n mha babies.
Me:lolz...they are jst frnds frm my ex-sch
Her:hmm
Me:stop thinkin odawise o. They r nt my boyfrnds
Her:did i say anythn. I know na, afta all a grl cnt date two guys

This is the most important aspect of story writing. Length.
Are you posting with your laptop or your phone?
Try to post at least 4,000+ letters. I've nt seen a phone lesser than that. If you won't update regularly, let ur once in a while update be lengthy.
It has worked for many of us here.

TUESDAY MORNING
Another day at BSMC. I had already prepared for today. I had chatted almost all night with Sandy and we finally became very nice friends. By the time i got to school, classes had not yet begun. After assembly, i sat in class scanning through my assignment when two girls approached me with Sandra. Esther had not yet come to school so Sandy took up her seat.
"Daisy, meet Tola and Betty. Girls, this is Daisy, Sandy introduced.
"They are in science class," she added.
"Oh," i said. I never liked those science students because they made it seem like those in arts class were dunces.
"Tola said she wanted to tell you something," Sandy said.
"Abi, you know Robert?" Tola asked.
"Yes?" I said
"He said you should meet him at the library during break.
"Wait...you know Robert?" Sandra asked
"Not personally anyway. He's in my sister's class," i quickly covered up.
"Sandy, we'll be going now. See you after class," Betty said as her and Tola walked out of the class.
"Daaa..girl be careful with Robert o! That guy is a bad f**ker!" Sandy warned.
"F**ker, as in how?" I asked.
"He's a real playboy. He was even going out once with one if this corper chicks and he was always denying it until when some of his mates caught him half naked in the corpers lodge with the lady. He had to bribe them to keep their mouths sealed."
''So how come you know about it?"
"Do you think all of them kept their mouths sealed? The whole SSS classes know about it. Even SS3s."
"Abegi, am not really close to the boy like that o! Mt sister just gave him money to give me," i said.
"Just be careful. I can follow you to see him during break..if you like," Sandra offered.
"No, don' bother. I' m not going to see him," i said. I didnt want to take chances. Esther arrived soon and Sandra went to her seat.
"How far?" Esther greeted. She wasnt wearing her glasses today.
"Am ok," i said
