Excerpt from "FEDDIE GIRL: The Hilarious Adventures of an American Teen in a Nigerian Federal School" by Nona David

Copyright July 2009.

Carlotta walked into the Sapphire House lobby and the room suddenly became silent. Twenty pairs of eyes turned to stare. She bit her lip and looked around at the eager faces deposited everywhere in the room. The faces belonged to students milling around comfortable armchairs arranged to face a wide screen television mounted on the wall.

Sandra waved. She stood at a corner with Uche and two other students.

Carlotta waved back and walked to them.

Sandra was thin and shriveled-looking with a large, squat nose dominating most of her facial features. She was dark-skinned and sported the kind of face that appeared rough and full of pores—almost like, if scrubbed hard with a damp cloth, a new layer of smoother skin would be successfully revealed.

Uche, on the other hand, was chubby and jolly, and equipped with a kind face and subtle eyes.

“Hi, girls,” Carlotta said. She looked at the other two girls and couldn’t place them. “Hey. I’m Carlotta.”

“This is Yvonne,” Sandra introduced a mousy looking girl. “And this is Emeh,” she finished, indicating the thin girl beside Uche. “They are both in Sapphire-Five.”

“Bonjour,” Emeh said, smiling. “How are you this morning?”

Carlotta nodded. She wasn’t sure the meaning of the first word Emeh had spoken. “I’m good, thanks.” She smiled back.

“You must be the Feddie Girl the girls in my dorm were talking about last night,” Yvonne squeaked. “They said your parents live in America.” In addition to her appearance, Yvonne possessed a mousy voice.

“Tell me something I don’t already know.” Carlotta shrugged and rolled her eyes.

“Is it true your mother is white? I mean she’s really white, n’est elle pas?” Emeh asked, her wide eyes staring at Carlotta as if she were something from out of space. “Pardon my French,” she quickly added when she noticed Carlotta’s irritated look. “I can’t help myself.”

Emeh had two large front teeth, Carlotta noticed, that kept poking out of her mouth as she spoke. Her appearance reminded Carlotta of a stuffed Easter Bunny she had seen in a toy store somewhere.

“Well, although my mom’s totally a white-American, being born in California and all, I really can’t tell you her skin’s white in color if that’s what you wanna know.” Carlotta’s mouth showed the hint of a smile. “She’s more of a light-tan, you know,” she said, and winked.

The girls laughed.

Carlotta ran her hands through her hair, tossed back her curls and asked, “So, what actually is the deal here? Why are we waiting?”

“We’re waiting for Senior Chidi,” Uche apprised. “She is supposed to assign us our morning duties.”

Carlotta noticed Uche held an object that looked suspiciously like the brooms she had seen her cousin and aunt use to sweep floors clean back in their home in Lagos State. It resembled a witch’s broomstick but without the long handle—basically a bunch of thin flexible sticks tied up together at one end. “Why do you need that?” she asked, indicating the broom. Glancing around the lobby, she realized that almost every girl had one, too.

“I don’t know,” Uche’s voice was doubtful. “My bunkie thought I might be assigned a place to sweep for my morning duty.”

“You must be kidding me. You don’t mean to tell me we are actually expected to work? I mean, really work? Like janitors?” Carlotta asked in an unbelieving tone. “How much are we gonna be paid?”

Ah non,” Emeh remarked. Oh no. “You don’t get paid for doing your morning duty.”

“Oh, puhleease, give me a break,” Carlotta scoffed, rolling her eyes. The girl and her French were beginning to get on her nerves. “Why should we work if we aren’t gonna get paid? I totally don’t get it.” She tossed back her hair. “I mean, even if we are gonna be paid, I don’t want any janitor’s job.”

“Morning duty,” Sandra corrected.

“Whatever. I still don’t want any part of it.”

“Ah, you don’t understand,” Yvonne wailed. “You have no choice. It’s just like the chores you do at home. You don’t expect payment for them, do you?”

“Really? No choice, huh?” Carlotta gave Yvonne a daring look. “We’ll see about that.” She sniffed. “And as for chores, don’t tell me you guys work at home, too?”

The four girls just stared. They tried to make Carlotta understand that morning duty meant mandatory work that has to be done every morning, and without reward. They asserted that the school head girl said as much when she addressed the new students the night before.

Carlotta, who wasn’t used to boarding schools in Nigeria and hadn’t paid much attention during the speech, had obviously missed that part. She wondered what other unpleasant surprises lay ahead.

Just then, the Sapphire House prefect Chidi Anayo, flanked by two dormitory prefects, paraded into the room and stood before the students.

Even with the harsh light in the lobby, Carlotta saw Chidi looked as imposing as ever. She also noticed that the house prefect had the same pompous air like she had the day before, when she’d ridiculed Carlotta about her age.

Watching her strut to the front of the room like a majestic peacock, Carlotta instantly felt an intense dislike for the house prefect. She stood still and watched as one of the flanking prefects read names off a list, while Chidi assigned each girl to a duty as her name was called.

Soon, Carlotta heard her name. Donning a charming attitude, she sauntered up to the prefects. “Hi. It’s a great morning, right?” she volunteered with a bright smile. She looked meaningfully at Chidi but the house prefect pretended not to notice.

“Sapphire-One windows.” Chidi’s tone was clipped. She dismissed Carlotta with an abrupt wave of her hand.

Carlotta’s face burned. “silly naughty woman,” she muttered, and made to leave. If there were two things she despised, they would be—being ridiculed, and being ignored.

“Come back here,” a voice commanded.

Carlotta stopped. She turned.

Chidi was glaring.

The chattering in the room stopped. The air became electrified. The rest of the new students held their breath and turned to watch.

Carlotta hesitated.

Chidi’s lips tightened against her teeth. “I said you should come back here,” she repeated, this time spitting the words out, one by one, like fiery bullets out of a pistol. There was no mistaking the meaning behind the words.

Carlotta took a deep breath and returned to face the prefects. Her heartbeat accelerated to a new level. She tried hard to swallow her hatred and retain her composure.

“What did you say?” Chidi’s voice was low but distinct. Her lips barely moved.

Carlotta rolled her eyes and shrugged.

“Don’t you dare roll your eyes at us,” one of the flanking prefects yelled.

Carlotta eyed her with distaste.

Quick as lightening, the prefect’s hand struck out.

Carlotta ducked. The sailing hand missed her head by a mere inch. But Chidi’s palm followed and caught Carlotta at the top of the head. Smack!

Carlotta reeled back. She had never been struck.

Oh no! You just didn’t!


Warm blood flooded her neck and face. She felt like screaming and striking back, but instincts told her it was best to remain silent and bide her time.

You silly naughty woman! You’re so gonna pay for that.

“What did you say?” Chidi demanded in an ominous voice. Her eyes were hot black coals.

“I didn’t say anything,” Carlotta supplied in a voice that was thick with suppressed rage. Her breath came in short spurts. Her heart pumped furiously.

“Are you sure?” Chidi sneered. “I most definitely heard you say something.”

Carlotta ignored the hammering in her chest and continued to stare into the unblinking coals that were Chidi’s eyes.

Yeah, that’s right. I called you a naughty woman. [/i]Carlotta was a coiled dangerous snake, ready to strike at the next slightest provocation. She imagined the satisfying crunch the bone of Chidi’s jaw would make when her fist finally connected and a sense of satisfaction trickled down her spine. The prefect was her archenemy. And the jig was up.

The black eyes narrowed. “Don’t you ever, never ever again,“ Chidi hissed. “Now, get lost.”

Carlotta uncoiled, then turned her back to the prefects and strode to the door. When she emerged on the other side, she realized her hands were shaking.
