Mummy quickly noticed the missing money,I was watching a movie when she barged in. "Who took my money??" She asked angrily I knew if I lie,it will definitely complicate things,so I braced myself for the worst. "I took it" I said calmly "So my daughter is now a thief,very soon,you will turn to armed robber,mo gbe,is this what you learnt in church?? Yet you will go to church and start singing,da mi lohun na" mummy spat out angrily "It's not like that,I can explain" I said sadly "Explain what?? Oya tell me,what you used the money for??" Mummy asked "I used it to register for the upcoming contest they advertise that day" I explained "See you life,I told you there are lines not to cross,didn't I?? Your quest for fame is making you indulge in sin abi? Ranti omo eni ti on se,I'm disappointed in you" mummy retorted "I'm sorry,I wanted to ask you but I thought you won't give me,mummy,I'm so sorry,it won't happen again" I explained with my teary voice "Mummy gave me a lot of advice,at a time,I thought I was going to die,she kept advising me for some minutes Finally,she said"don't do that again,if you need something,just ask and I will give it to you" I heaved a sigh of relief,I quickly rushed to my room and sleep. The competition will hold three-days time,but first,I need to snap six high quality professional pix that they demanded for. |

When I got to the nearby studio,I told them my mission,they charged me and I gladly pay,then they told me to follow a young lady,to a room,I gladly did. When we got to that room,the young lady started applying different powder on my face,the concealer,the foundation,eye shadows,and they even scrapped my natural eyebrows,thereby using eye-encil to curved out the line. When,I look at myself in the mirror,I was like,bunmi,is this really you?? So,we left the room and we went to the main studio room,I snapped six quality pictures,and I instantly send them via e-mail to the organisers of the event and they sent a verification code to me. **the d-day** So,I left the house excitedly,with my hopes high,my instincts told me,I will be crowned or so I thought. When I got to the main venue,the gateman asked for my verification number,I quickly gave him and I was granted entrance. When I entered the hall,I saw some girls,they should be up to 15,if I'm not mistaken,the most commonest features among them is beauty,damn those girls are foine,I was lost in thought when a rich baritone snapped me to reality "Hello,young lady,are you here for the contest?" He asked with a wink "Uhmm,yeah" I mumbled,this time I was the cynosure of eyes,everybody was staring at me. "Cool,join those girls" he said pointing to them I walked steadily to meet those girl,many of them were giving me angry stare while majority gave me the you-dont-belong-here look,but what really amused me was the fact that one of the girls giving me that you-dont-belong-here look was actually speaking to herself because,she is plump,with sagged boobs filled with stretchmarks,with her protuding stomach,she shouldn't try to wear a fitted top again. I just ignored their stares and mumbled an inaudible "hey" to all of them,I wasn't expecting a reply,but to my suprise,they replied coyly. So,a young man walked up to us and addressed us,he told us we will spend two days in their hostage before leaving,and he summed it up saying,we should go change to bikini. I was suprised because,the bikini stuff wasn't in their procedure,and I cherish my body,most than anything,because I believe it's the temple of God that that must not be defiled. "Excuse me,sir,the bikini wasn't included in the procedure and I personally can't expose my body to the world" I said calmly "Were you forced?? Yes,it's not in the procedure,but we have to do it,now everybody,go get dressed" the man barked "Fine,but I will be wearing sport bra and a bumpshort,I can't go out in bikini" I replied "Your choice,young lady but it will reduce your point,now get lost" the man said and walked away I sluggishly walked to the dressing room,the rest of the girls were in their bikini,I just went to a corner and changed to my sport bra and bump short. "Don't tell me you are wearing that?? Are you shy that you can't wear a bikini" a girl asked "It's not a matter of being shy,I don't like exposing my body,plain and simple" I replied "Oh my God,she has eczeme and rashes all over her body,that is why she can't expose herself" the plump girl said mockingly That really annoyed me,and I decided to pay her in her own coin "Look who is talking,take a look at yourself,you are a wall,please endeavour to cleanse those over-riped stretches,wack hairstyle by the way" I said and left the room I could hear people cheering me on,but I don't care,because they do more harm than good.

As expected,the young man who previously addressed us,beckoned on all of us to come. Everybody rushed out,then he gave all of us, a number,mine was nunber 4,so when it was my turn,I catwalked the best way I can,wearing a cute smile. After everybody has displayed their skills,we all retired to bed,but the plump girl was nowhere to be found,I saw her making calls,but it's none of my biz The next morning,everybody woke up,I said a little prayer,and I took my bath,then the make up artist came and turn everyone of us into a goddess. I wore a blue gown and marched to the hall,after the catwalking,it was time for the question segment The question they asked me was quite simple "do you think english should be a prerequisite for models?" "I think english should be compulsory because everybody can't understand your dialect,and as a model,you need to reach out to a lot of people,and majority don't understand your dialect" that was my reply When it was the plump girl's turn,her question was quite complicated "define beauty" Her response was "beauty is what you feel inside" So,after the question segment,we danced a little while we waited for the result Few minutes,later,they beckoned on us to assembled ourselves,the chief judge walked up to the podium and said " Officially,you guys are amazing,it was difficult to choose the queen of trust,but we have to it" So,the judge called the names of the top 5,and suprisingly I made the list. Then,he announced the winner,I can believed my eyes,the dark,plump and fat girl?? Many people protested and protested,but the deed was done. Something tells me that she must have used her body and I concurred with that,cos that girl doesn't worth it. I walked home dejectedly,all my hopes dashed,who wouldn't be?? Tbc |

My mummy was busy laughing when I narrated my ordeal to her,I just locked myself in my room constantly repeating and miming jason mcuz 's I won't give up [b] When I look into your eyes It's like watching the night sky Or a beautiful sunrise There's so much they hold And just like them old stars I see that you've come so far To be right where you are How old is your soul? [CHORUS] Well, I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up And when you're needing your space to do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find 'Cause even the stars they burn Some even fall to the earth We've got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it No I wont give up I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts We got yeah we got a lot at stake And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in I had to learn what i got, and what i'm not And who i am [CHORUS] I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up Still looking up I won't give up (No I'm not) on us (Giving up) God knows i'm tough,(I am tough) he knows (I am loved) We got a lot (We're alive) to learn (We are loved) God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it) [CHORUS] I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm Still looking up [/b] That song has constantly,been on repeat because it speaks to me a lot,and yeah,I won't give up. |

Lizzy came the next day to cheer me on,when she heard about my condition,at first,I don't want to see her or talk to her because,I thought she will mock me,but reverse was the case. "Pongila,how fa" she said as she sat down on my bed.pongila was the name that was given to me due to my slim stature "Babe,I dey o" I said as I removed my headphone from my heard. "Sorry about your contest,the fact that you don't win doesn't means you are a loser,they can't just see how unique you are" "Yeah,thank you,,what's popping na" I said "Ore,nothing o,I just came to tell you to escort me to this seminar,they gave me the hand bill last week" "Oh,that,I'm not going jor,they invited me also" "Cm on don't be a spoil sport,you need some fresh air,and you need to kill the boredom eating you up" "Alright,just holla me when you are going" "It's tomorrow nah,no prob,sha," lizzy said Lizzy left my house and I resumed my song again. I had the intention of following her just to kill boredom,but then,the seminar changed my life for good. T bc |
Re: I Want To Be Famous (Quest For Fame) A Short Story by Nobody: 1:45pm On Apr 12, 2015 |
The day for the seminar came,I went with lizzy,when we got to the venue,I saw a lot of young adults. I wasn't enthusiastic about it in any way,we sat down,then a young woman who should be in the her late forties,walked up to us. She said,"I welcome everyone to this great seminar,but before we start the business of the day,let's take our lunch," Just what I was expecting,because I've not eaten since morning,I quickly rushed to meet the caterer and requested for jollof rice and chicken,while lizzy went for fried rice. After we are through,we went back to the hall,I was relaxed and ready to listen to their 'sermon',the young woman mounted the podium and started the lectures "Whatever,you wanna become in life,you need four things to conquer all challenges,you need determination,talent,sacrifices,and commitment,in addition to that,you need a thicker skin to absorb the failures that might come your way,I personally had greater challenges,when I was growing up,I sponsored my education,my parent were nonchalant about it,but I told myself,I want to be a graduate and here I am,so ladies and gentleman,if you make use of this little advice,the sky will definitely be your starting point" she said I was excited,just what I needed,but then it only add up to the unanswered questions I have.so during the recess period, I went to meet that lady that gave the speech in the inner-room. When I got there,I thought she is gonna chase me away like a dog,but no,she smiled and asked me to come forth. "Good afternoon,ma" I greeted politely "How are you dear? You came for the seminar,right??" "Yes,ma,but I need some answers to my question and I think,you will be in the best position,to provide answers" I said calmly "Oh,God will use my mouth to answer your questions,so what are your question" the woman asked politely. "Thank you ma,you said we need four things to achieve anything we want to become in life,but ma,I've the four things,but still I'm not anywhere close to my dreams" I explained "If I may ask,what is your dream?" "I've always wanted to be famous" I said calmly "Oh,fame right?? So what steps have you taken concerning your quest" she asked "Well,I recently enrolled at a dancing school,and I contested for the recent queen of trust" "First of all,have you develop yourself??" "Yes,ma,I'm currently learning how to dance,and I've a stature of a model" "Dearie,you aint.a b-fab,right?? And modeling is a give away price,because anyone can contest once you have a nice stature,you are good to go,so count modelling out" she explained "What's a b-fab??" "Born from a boom-box,it means you were born with dancing skills,my dear,if you try to learn how to dance,you might be good,but trust me,it will got to a point where your acquired skills will fail you,but if you are born with it,you will derive joy in dancing,dancing will be like a voice instill in you that need to be expressed" she explained "Really??" "Yes,I'm sure there will be a time when you ain't excited to dance,but you will force yourself" "Yes,a couple times" "So,all you need is self-realisation,develop yourself,you need to know who you are and who you are supposed to be,develop yourself,what is that thing you derive joy doing,what's that thing you think its fun and other thinks it's work,what's that thing you always smile when you are doing it??" "I haven't really considered that though" "Let's look at it this way,those that went to acting school,and they knew they ain't gifted in it,it will get to a time,they won't know how to express or interpret a script,maybe because their teachers didn't teach them,but if you have natural skills,and decided to learn more about it,you will be unstoppable" "Really?" "Yes my dart,I want you to know,There is a talent somehow in you,it might be little,but you have to explore and make use of it,it might be a presenting work or anything,but with your natural skills,you will shine so brightly that the sun will envy you" "Thank you ma" "It's nothing jor,I'm glad I helped,it all boils down to self-realisation,discover your potentials and make good use of them,I hope to see you at the top one day" "Thank you so much ma,even though,I haven't given up on my quest for fame,I will definitely reduce the pursuit,so that I can develop myself" "That's the spirit,girl," "I need to be on my way,I really appreciate this,thank you so much" T bc |

~~~DEDICATED TO PRETTYDIVA89~~~ When I got back to the hall,I realized,the second segment of the program(talent display), was going on,a young girl was singing a melodious song. Lizzy smiled and said " where you go?" "I went to see that woman that lectured us,and thanks for bringing me here,it's a life changing experience" "Aww,you are welcome,glad you find it inspiring" "Yeah,a lot" After the seminar was over,lizzy and I went back home,that seminar changed my life for good. When I got home,the song that come to my mind is [b] So many things To do and say But I can't seem To find my way But I wanna know how I know I'm meant For something else But first I gotta find myself But I don't know how Oh, why do I reach for the stars When I don't have wings To carry me that far? I gotta have Roots before branches To know who I am Before I know Who I wanna be And faith To take chances To live like I see A place in this world For me Sometimes I don't wanna feel And forget the pain Is real Put my head In the clouds Oh, start to run And then I fall Thinkin' I can't get it all Without my feet On the ground There's always a seed Before there's a rose The more that it rains The more I will grow I gotta have Roots before branches To know who I am Before I know Who I wanna be And faith To take chances To live like I see A place in this world For me Whatever comes I know how to take it Learn to be strong I won't have to fake it Oh, you're understandin' The wind can come And do it's best Blow me North and South East and West But I'll still Be standing I'll be standing I gotta have Roots before branches To know who I am Before I know Who I wanna be And faith To take chances To live like I see A place in this world I gotta have Roots before branches To know who I am Before I know Who I wanna be And faith To take chances To live like I see A place in this world For me I gotta have Roots before branches [/b] Well,that was it,I haven't given up on my quest for fame,but I'm realizing my potentials bit by bit After the full discovery of my talents and potentials,I will work on it and I will shine brightly across the globe THE END |
