**************
My life is unusual and sad.Like every other girl I want the good things of life like good clothes, good shoes,good friends and the best things life has to offer but instead I have the direct opposite of everything have listed."weird "
The kind of school I attend is what you call the government school with class.unlike your normal government which is characterised by high level of indiscipline and rascality ,my school is different.we have the lower class,the middle and the upper classic.No need to ask I know what you are thinking"hmmmm"Yes I belong to the lower class.
Am a very pretty girl with distinctive features, am tall ,light skinned and all but who would even notice sef,mtchewwww.
My uniform is torn ,my sandals are not worthy to be called sandals anymore,you know what,my friend just call them slippers jare.
Ehn ehn to the latest gist,you know my social status was bad but now it is going to nosedive patapata,my mom decided she wants to start frying akara and she wants me to hawk it.Me!!
Meet the new me"omo iya alakara."

Chapter Two
So mom has started her akara business and have started hawking too.My class mates know already and as expected the bullying has started.
But the funny thing is am not moved one bit,see am used to this life so I don't care anymore jor.[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
Fola:Dammy girl what's up ?
Me:Am just there for,anything for me?
Fola: Did you see the new boy in our class?
Me:The oyinbo boy?
Fola:Yea,that boy is so cute and tall like a movie star
Me:Fola!so you are crushing on the oyinbo boy I thought your crush was Dave
Fola:Not anymore am scared of his girlfriend jessie
Me:yea you should be
Fola:So back to the new boy,I heard he is son of one commissioner and his dad only brought him here so he could see what government school likes
Me:OK good for him,I need to get going
Before you use your amebo delay me
Fola:lol see you tomorrow then.
Let's do a quick check on Fola.Folayemi Awosika is your normal average girl.unlike me she comes from a middle-class home,she is not that good looking and she is not bad either. Despite our different background she still managed to be my friend, my best friend at that.
******************
It is so sunny today, it is as if the sun decided to punish me as I walked home. As I was jejely minding my own business, that was how Jessica nicknamed Jessie the richest and hottest babe in my class decided to block me for a chat.
When I say chat, I don't mean a friendly one,she never talks nicely to people like me.Jessie is your dream girl,your high school fantasy, you know the size 8 girl,perfect skin,perfect friends, rich parents and dating the football star of my school.You are not wrong if you say she has it all.
But the problem with her is that she is mean like kilode,she keeps dropping rude comments about people and is generally a pain in the ass.Don't be decieved by her smile because she can smile for Africa,she is the perfect ice queen.
Jessica:look who is here ,the akara seller"laughs"
Me:hi,Jessy what's up? (Smiling like all is well)
Jessica: see am not here for familiarity of any sort ,am just here to tell you stay away from Dave,he is mine and mine alone
Me:He was just..........
Jessica:"cuts in"just shut up and listen.go for people of your caliber ,don't start messing around with other people's boyfriend o.
She hissed and walked away while I just stood there stunned.

CHAPTER THREE
"Why are you smiling to yourself ?" Iya Dada,my fat ,nosy neighbour asked me. I just brushed past her, ignoring her prying eyes. I was not in the mood for her gossip today.
I got inside the one room apartment i shared with my parents and two sisters hoping to find something to eat,but unfortunately all I met was empty pots and plates shining their teeth at me.
You see the funny part is that I was not sad in fact I was elated because the unimaginable happened in school today. "THE OYINBO BOY"
MAYOMIKUN: Hi pretty
I looked around to be sure he was referring to me but lo and behold I was the only girl in sight so I replied with the sweetest voice of all.
Me :Hello
MAYOMIKUN Brown is not your everyday guy. He is tall and slim not thin o,he had an athletic figure, sapphire eyes, pink lips,dimples on his cheek and when he smiles the world stops and stares for a while.He looked out of this world.There was just one word to describe him"PERFECT ".
It took a tap on my shoulder to snap me out of my reverie
MAYOMIKUN: You seem lost,any problem?
ME:no no,not at all
How may I help you,?
MAYOMIKUN: You see am new here and you seem to be the only serious student around, so I was thinking if you don't mind maybe you and I could become study partners
ME:Study partners?
MAYOMIKUN: Yeah you know we could read together and all
ME:Okay no problem ,it's fine.when would like us to start
MAYOMIKUN'Today if you don't mind
ME:No problem, let's start with English.
*****************
"There is something special about that girl ,I can sense it Bayo" mayomi said to his driver. She is so different and unique and my heart just connects with her .
"Young master, you have to be careful o,hope she is not a good digger"Bayo said
"Nah ,she is not,she is definitely not" mayomikun replied
The car came to a stop and a guy rushed up to meet him ,collected his bag and ushered him in
Boy:Oga welcome o
MAYOMIKUN: thank you.is anyone home ?
BOY:Yes o,madam wemmy is back?
MAYOMIKUN: You mean my mom is back?
BOY:she came back this afternoon
MAYOMIKUN: weird
He walked faster but on getting to the door they heard someone screaming
MAYOMIKUN: Wait o ,who is aunty wemmy screaming at?
BOY:I think it is big oga o
They moved closer and they could hear wemimo screaming "why would you let him go to a government school,my own son"
The man was trying to calm her down"wemimo he wanted to go there "
MAYOMIKUN: you know what let's go in
They went inside
"welcome home mummy" mayomikun greeted the fair elegantly dressed wonan

CHAPTER FOUR
WEMIMO: my love ,how are you?
MAYOMIKUN: am fine, it's good to have you back
WEMIMO: (walks up to him)my dear you look lean,are you sure they have been feeding you well?
MAYOMIKUN: aunty wemmy am fine
WEMIMO: so am too small for you to call mummy abi
MAYOMIKUN: yes don't you know?
WEMIMO: Me?.
MAYOMIKUN: yes you look like my girlfriend, I don't even need a date for prom night because have gotten one and she is the most beautiful woman in the world and that's is you mom
WEMIMO: awww.....thank you darling ,where did you learn to be so sweet .
His father entered the room simultaneously
NIYI:from me of course
Everyone laughed at this
WEMIMO: I prepared your favorite delicacy
MAYOMIKUN: okay mom let me go shower
***************"
MAYOMIKUN: hello pretty
Me:hi ,how are you?
MAYOMIKUN: why were you not in school yesterday?
Me:had something to do
MAYOMIKUN:you could not even call me ,you know what, let me have your number
ME:I don't have a phone
MAYOMIKUN: are you serious? Who doesn't have a phone in this 24th century
ME:well me I guess
I started to walk away but he drew me back
MAYOMIKUN: am sorry I did not mean to insult you. I could get you one if you don't mind
ME':I do mind,I don't want you to see me as a charity case
MAYOMIKUN:no it's not like that,we are friends right and if i have the means why can't I help my friend
ME:I don't still want that kind of favor from you
MAYOMIKUN: okay no qualms, lets get started
ME:okay,let's solve this equation
**************"
This past few days have been so fun,I have never felt like this before my heart always beats fast anytime I see him.we have become the talk of the whole school ,everyone one is talking about us.Ever since we started hanging out together my life in school as changed,the bullying and yabbing has stopped and everyone now seem to respect me more .
We have become very close ,he tells me everything and I do the same .I know all about his mom and how she wants him to stop but he has promised not to stop because he has never had a wonderful friend like me.
Mayomikun sighted her from afar and smiled. This girl blows his mind,he has never met any girl who was as beautiful and unassuming as she was.she doesn't need makeup, she is so different from the kind of girls in his world.He could have a normal conversation with her ,without having to talk about how he was going to take over his dad's company or how much he has in his account.
They both caught each other staring .their eyes met for a minute and every other thing in sight faded away. It was just the two of them in their own world.

Thanks for the mention! I'm new here and it means a lot to me. Your story is gud. But. Are Yu writing a novel or a play? Because if its a novel.. This
"Wemimo: (walks up to him)
isn't acceptable. You write the verbal exchanges as a narrator. Example.
"Wemimo, looking as beautiful as always, walked up to him. "my dear you look lean." She touched his face with concern, are you sure you are well?"
But if it's a play.. Thumbs up.

******************
"Mayomikun!mayomikun! Mayomikun!" wemimo screamed at him,she had been standing there for about thirty minutes now but the boy had not even noticed her
"Yes ma" he replied
"Are you okay?i have been standing here for over an hour now and you did not even notice " wemimo replied,she was obviously worried,this was so unlike him.
"Mum am fine ,I was just thinking about someone,wait no I was thinking about something"
"Oko mi" she said as she moved closer to him and took his hand "is there something I should know ?"
"Not at all mummy,am fine it is just school work"
"Okay o ,but if you need anything remember am here for you anytime ,any day"she said as she left the room and closed the door.
Wow!that was close he thought, he was so close to getting caught .The truth is that he could not could no longer control his feelings for Dammy ,she had captured his heart totally and completely, all he could think about was her.
He smiled as he remembered what had transpired between them the other day.
She had been sitting all alone in class clearly lost in her own world.
"A penny for your thought my lady" he asked tapping her shoulders
"Hey mayomikun what's up?when did you even get here that I did not notice " she said ,smiling cheekily at him
"How would you notice me,when you were busy thinking about that boy"he replied,carefully searching her eyes, looking for clues as to whether he was right or not
"Which boy is that ?"Dammy had already turned around by now so the two of them were facing each other
"I don't know maybe you should tell me" this time he was really serious .He needed to know wif she was feeling the way he was
"Jealous boy ,there is no boy in my life that is worth thinking about "
Even me"He replied
Common you are my friend "she said, already her heart was beating too fast and she was trying to avoid his eyes .
He took her hands ,positioned her well so he could see her eyes and said to her" Damilola Ayanfejesu I want you to look straight into my eyes and tell me you don't feel something more for me,that all you see me as is your friend and that is all you ever want me to be"
Ermm.........hmmmm"was all she could she say ,by this time the two of them were already staring into each other's eyes and the atmosphere between them was beginning to get more charged.
He leaned in and slowly took her lips in his ,it took her a while before she could respond but when she finally did,the birds in the air ,the fishes in the river and even the animals in the bush could testify that ,It was the beginning of a love sealed in heaven.

Based on masikay's observation I have decided to change the writing style. So it looks like a novel.A big thank you to everyone following.God bless you,

nice

Dear friends, and fellow literary Giants, Kindly vote for my brother's story "ILLUSION", by Temidayo Samuel, Here's the link. http://prize.etisalat.com.ng/flash-fiction/voteall.php?id=51.

Read the story Below:

Topic: "ILLUSION"
Setting: PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Genre: FICTION.
...............................................................
Two guards of Ayiri Psychiatric Hospital scampered toward the window where Bidemi nervously scaled down with a rope made of knotted bed-sheets.
“I am not mad! I told you people! Let me go home!” He yelled as he struggled from the grasps of the muscular watchmen.
............................................................
The familiar noises of mad people rented the air as he was dragged into the Crisis-Stabilization Ward. A Nurse with Thorazine-loaded syringe pumped the numbness-inducing drug into his jugular, and away, he slumped into the realm of dreams.
As the young lad opened his eyes into the spirit world, a comma-shaped goblin beckoned to him:
“Come! Let me show you the hypocrisy of the world.”
.............................................................
The Genie yanked him into the air and suddenly, they found themselves on a mountain top, from where they could see many secret corners of Lagos.
“Look, see and write away!” the Genie commanded.
..............................................................
In awe, Bidemi saw a politician cutting off the head of a citizen for popularity charm, a teacher sexually molesting a 4-year old pupil in the school toilet, a human right activist trafficking young girls into prostitution, and a doctor deliberately killing his patients so as to trade human body-parts.
“Wait! Is that not the Priest who preaches righteousness having carnal knowledge of his parishioner’s wife?” bewildered Bidemi asked.
..............................................................
“But why are you showing me all these?” he probed further.
The Genie replied:
“You are young and naïve, but also the leader of tomorrow. Understand how the world works, and make informed choices.”
“In places of honourableness, depravities are found. The world is an illusion, decide what is worth dying for.” the Genie’s voice echoed as it disappeared into a billow of smoke.
.............................................................
Bidemi regained consciousness, and exclaimed;
“You wouldn’t belief what I just saw!”
“Who believes a madman?” the Nurses chorused.

Love is your decision to stand by someone come rain come shine,love is not an emotion rather a choice-Enioluwayan
CHAPTER FIVE
This past few days has been so fun for me,I have never felt this way before in my entire life. I don't know how to describe the way I feel, I feel like am on a roller coaster, my heart beats faster than usual, it seems preoccupied with the thought of only one person.True love they say is hard to find but I know beyond a shadow of doubt that I have found one. What other explanation do you give to a situation where it seems like your entire happiness depends on someone,where seeing that person alone is enough to make your heart beat faster and when the person smiles all your worries fade away and you become the happiest person in the world.Yes !that is exactly the way I feel ,my days are often incomplete without his smile. Am I fine?Is this even normal? I wish I had answers to my own questions. I tried explaining the way I feel to Fola but she could not understand but how could she?when I feel like am blabbing myself.

"Damilola! Damilola "mom called snapping out of my reverie
" yes ma"I replied already I could feel her anger all over the room

What were you thinking about that you did not hear me the first time I called you "mom said eyeing me in a weird kind of way" or have you suddenly gone deaf ?"

"Sorry ma I was............." I tried explaining

"Keep the explanation to yourself ,I don't want to hear it" she said "won't you hawk today or don't want to eat"
"Let me change my clothes ma" I replied

The truth be told I don't even know my mom anymore, she wasn't like this before but ever since she lost her job she has become a totally transformed person. She gets angry for know reason, always looking for who to transfer her aggression on and i am always the lucky victim. like caused all this mess.

**************************
"He has to stop going to that school Niyi,he has stop" wemimo said trying to keep her voice low but with the way it kept rising it was obvious she was loosing the battle .

"And your reason would be?" Niyi replied

"That school is trash, for Christ sake your dad owns the biggest school in Nigeria so why should his own grandson attend a government school especially in his last year."

"Wemimo stop being so dramatic" he was at the edge of loosing his temper ,why was she acting
so petty "this schools were built for human beings not animals"

"I don't care o,Niyi why on earth are you being so difficult ,don't you get it"

"No I don't" he replied hoping she would get the message and backdown.

"See,he needs to mingle with people his class, not some low class nonentities" she said ,the thought of having her son sit in a class full of nobodies alone disgusts her"

"Wemimo I am disappointed in you ,where is the nice homely woman I married, this boy is entitled to make his own decisions and if he decides to stay at Maryland ,he has my full support and by the way this is the end of this discussion"he said as he stands up and leaves the room

"Niyi come back o ,come back " she said screaming after him
*************************
"Hey love "he said holding me from behind" I missed you "

"Mayomikun you need stop doing this or do you want us to get caught" I said trying to sound stern but I knew it was not working

"Did you miss me?" he said still holding my waist

"I did,I kept thinking about you all through the weekend "I admitted feeling shy all of a sudden

"One of the reasons why we should get you a phone" he replied this time turning me so I could face him

"My answer still remains No" I said hoping my frown would intimidate him

"Don't you give me that face Dammy,what is wrong with you?why won't you let me take care of you?why?" He said .
He was really taking this serious so I knew I had to be mindful of what I say

"I don't want you to think I am after your money" I said praying he would not get vexed

He moved closer, so our face were almost touching, took my hands,took a deep breath and started

"Babe you don't know how much I love you ,how much you mean to me. You came into my life and turned it around, you gave me a reason to live ,someone to think about aside myself and your happiness is mine .so what is wrong with taking care of someone you love and cherish?what is wrong with being there for her?And besides this is not for you alone it is also for me. I don't I can go through another weekend without hearing the voice of my Queen ,so would you let me?

I was speechless ,I didn't have a single argument in my head ,so I just said the only thing that came to mind" Yes"

He kissed me and whispered into my ears"I love you Damilola and I would prove it to you even if takes me a lifetime.
