Episode 10

That hit him. I knew he was expecting me to beg him. Beg my foot! beg kor beggars ni.
I knew the implications if I eventually beg him. I knew he was going to give the best clap back ever and I wouldn't be able to stand him all my life at afro high. words like; sick child! dont beg me. LovePeddler!Out of my class.

I wasn't gonna get embarrassed and puncture my reputations among students and classmates. making me the subject matter all over the week.
since teachers are not allowed to make use of cane at my school, not even the simple exercise called punishment in some local schools was accepted at Afro-high......its a big school,and anyone who make the slightest mistake of venting cane would be ready to face the consequences from rich saucy parents. We talking about money,you talking about shiit..
I quietly stood up and made for the exit out of my class. I had no business with him anymore. he raised up his eyes and one could perceive the aroma of anger and of destruction. A sign of threat,a signal of warning.... be sure to understand Hussein's Destructive look.
"I hope your life dont gravitate and get terminated or maybe bloody at the end of every linear step you take." Hussein rang loudly. He couldn't take it anymore!
"Woo-hoo!! the class laughed hysterically.
that was a great word with a great meaning .His words are heavy. they are so heavy even the rock wouldn't stand them..Definitely he must be from Oyo or Ibadan. Forgive me if I just hit a nerve,but the Oyo do it better...their clapback are always intact and ready to uproot the world biggest storey building.
"With due respect sir,i really dont need torrent of advice from you,you can as well keep it for your grandchildren. They'd need it!
if only I was born in the 80's or 70's,I'd have move forward and give him some lashes on his bald head.... Come back to life toks, you dont need to fantasize, you weren't born then.

Mtcheew!! I hissed loudly,walking pass through him almost brushing his well ironed T-shirt.
"Wait,come back here,dont you dare walk out on me,am old enough to be your father. he said almost under the intensity of his voice bringing out all the veins in his neck. one could easily notice he was going through frustration either from his aging mother or nagging wife. mind you am not included in the picture.

The class was already dis-stabilize. A diss between a 14yearold girl and an old mr Hussein.
"This is deep!!! They all chorused.

"Quiet! Quiet y'all... The class ends here. you are all birds of the same feather. Y'all have a good life.
He left the class angrily looking back at me at the corridor like Vampires trying to have a war with werewolves. that look was hot and it do speaks volume, meaning 'more wars to come'
The good students grumbles at Hussein decision made a move to stop him. The ones who are not ready to learn are making signs to themselves showing 'the index sign hand'

The girls were making an orgy sign,the boys were malicious at heart ...It was a class of entirely different students.

Episode 11

I met the living room scattered. It wasn't a sign of an house-party or clubbing neither. it was a sign of someone trying to pack his/her belongings either for a business meeting or to go on a vacation. none of the ideas were correct in my head not until I saw that standing figure,a woman to be precise,No! a full grown woman who has poured out all the children inside of her,now going out on different vacations with several men but keeps claiming to be touring the company for future purposes. if was a thought I didn't know for sure. the woman standing in front of me isn't a promiscuous woman,maybe she wasn't..things have change real quick and the whole atmosphere at home seems to be putting me on a scale. everything seems like a perfect hurricane is working in the midst of our home...home was hell!

******
mum was back from Dubai and things didn't really change that much. all just seems like she's never back. like she never did. I composed my self so well in other to welcome her home properly atleast I'd have a companion now,atleast I would have someone to share my stories with. I became so strong and happy all of a sudden..this sudden urge gave me bad luck.... "she might go back" I said quietly!

Mom! i shouted! My mom...I moved towards her hugging her so tight. I never wanted to let go. this is the woman who got my heart from day one and wouldn't give it back.
circumstances and situations just make people you love become your worst enemy. If only I could be involved in her schedule!
"I miss you mom! I miss you so dearly mommy. dont leave anywhere without me again"
she smiled back,using her hand as a comb to nurture my deep dark hair. massaging it all through and making me feel Like a complete baby once again.
"I miss you too Honey, I miss you beyond measure darling.. I promise I won't go anywhere without you if only you'd grow up fast and turn into a fine mature lady to handle and follow Me in terms of company issues..

Mtcheww!!! I released myself from her embrace. That wasn't consoling neither was it going to make me feel better again.. I wouldn't want anything else but a love from a comforting mother who would show me love and care. Am just all alone and I need an angel right now..I need a life!

she laughed hysterically bringing me back to life! I plundered at her reaction. "how come she ain't feeling remorseful or trying to calm my nerves. she only rang out disturbingly
"see dear am running late. I have to go now"
"Go where again? I shouted almost loosing my voice. where exactly are you going this time? I asked continually. Answer me mom,no answer me..No wonder Ali was in a haste to get me here so quick. can't you just stay at home for once? atleast if not for anybody ,for your only daughter. Mother can't you see am dying?can't you figure out am not fine
I said crying hard,looking pale of a sudden...I am not fine!
Must you always leave me in the hands of brothers who haven't even care for themselves not to talk about me. I wanted to say more that that. I want to add more to it. something like "did you when check my last result to see how slow have dropped in my academics ?do you even know the friends am hanging out with recently or even the kind of life a a fourteen year old teenager should abstain from? I wanted to ,all was a wish. but I couldn't pour it all out.
I knew what her final decision would be. something like "pack your stuff you leave for boarding school! but would that do?would that really change my life ?would that really construct or distrust me the more?
if only she knew the difficulties I was going through.
Mom never wanted to hit any further. the only thing she could do was to keep my cool.
even if that wouldn't fit in!

Episode 12

Omotoke!!! mom called my full name.
she hasn't really done that in a while now..I love it when she calls me Omotoke or toks. she knows I love it but this time around I only huffed and looked straight away to another direction picking up the newspaper that set across my feet.

"I know I have lot of important roles to attend to,but this i am doing right now is very important. I know you won't really understand because of the stage you are in now. you are young and still solemn and I understand that fact,I ain't holding you for that,but believe me you'd be the one to thank me later for investing so great in your future." your elder ones understands me better. I hope you get my point now dear? she finally completed her statement making her drop a hard breathe she has been keeping all along.
"sorry my love I need to take my leave and oh look what I got you from Dubai. its a queen bracelet,it would suit your hand well she said handling it over to me trying to avoid anymore words from me.
what does she take me for I said quietly! A bag of bin you can pour dirt,wash it off and even pour in more dirt? or a dog she can buy a gift for stating the obvious like 'here dog this is a gift for your filth..'
well I ain't any of that...I always long for her attention but all she does is push me away. if only I was am slowpoke then I would know I was being treated right, the way I fit in and should be treated.

'Enough mother! please I beg of you. Enough!
you can take your leave now since your mind is absolutely set. it been years and I miss her dearly. where exactly is she going this time? San Fransisco?
I hope you dont regret your action over my life and PS keep your bracelet. You can give a beggar out there who needs it for a better income,but as for me I am tired of gifts.... I want love,care even affection mom. if only I could get one out of those I'd completely appreciate not an every time gift. Now may you please excuse me?
she didn't call me back neither did she give me hope that she loves me..she only called out to Ali to come help with the bags and then called out to me.
'TOKE!! I really won't get mad at you today. I won't baby for real but the next time you talk to me that way,I'd be force to take you to boarding school.
"What!!! I scoffed. The boarding school treat again?you think telling me that will magically change me? you know what,you are only bluffing and I won't accept that. Never!!
she didn't even wait to listen to the rest. she only dashed out of the living room and off to wherever she has in mind to go.


Was I adopted? I asked myself ...if only I didn't know what surrounds my birth then I would have thought so. does she hate me that much or why was she treating me that bad?
loving a mere company than your own daughter?
she stated the obvious already. 'I won't understand only my elder ones can do." And hello I hated her that moment, the love of a woman I aspire to be like washed away instantly. The figments of my imagination with a mother was gone.
My mind was made up already,I was ready to go at any length to make her regret her actions even of it would cost my life..

Episode 13
I lay down quietly on my bed,cuddling my big fat Teddy bear like its been forever since i last touched it boredom was killing me,it wasn't a good idea going to my neighbors in the area for relaxation or fun. i had no other choice than to lay still like a lifeless chicken and think deeply about what life has to offer me.
I was still contemplating really hard when someone knocked at my door!
'Who's that?i asked surprisingly,i knew totally jamin was out of the question nor Michael. I thought of aliyah;
Aliyah?i asked facing the door about to open, but ewww there i met the old gorilla himself looking straight like someone who's come for a restitution,one hand on the door,the other by his side..'another wahala' i thought..Lets face it' i said in my head..
Jamin!hey i thought it was aliyah good afternoon!he looked me face up and smiled.
'Hey babe!i just came to check on you?i hope you good?what's with the face?you don't look quite happy,is anything bothering you?lets an old pro give you some advice.
The question was too much for me to answer,and btw if i were to pour my sorrow to him,jamin would be the last person on the list to pour it out to i never wanted any further problem instead i gave him a straight answer.
Awwwww' jamin you are so sweet (even if he isn't) but am fine just missing mum that's all.
Ohhhh' really!!you a big girl you don't need to think about her..she's fine and i need you to be fine too he bulped out completing his last sentence making an humorous look
I said it! That greeting wasn't normal,he was drunk,gosh.

That bulp was far from that of a human,it was the smell of a dead rat in the house..the smell came directly from his mouth and it smelled so bad,so bad extracted out of an alcohol liquid together with the smell of a kush..that moment i knew yet was about to happen..
I smiled consistently at him trying to avoid any temper.
He smiled back at me and gave me a sign of 'am still around Tho..i nodded straight and left the entrance of my room slamming the door behind him..
I tried sleeping but sleep wouldn't come,i used my pillow as a shield in order to avoid the noise coming from the resting room,what noise was that?gosh! That must be another party coming up from Jamin's friend...you've actually done it this time' i said to myself..
I went downstairs only to meet preparations going on and jamin being the mastermind of the so-called party was the one showing and enhancing every single position of where the wine,stereo,cigarette and all sort of worldly things...i was already to things like that but our level was far smaller than theirs..we were like upcoming club girls but the party is about to bring forth PhD members and master degree holder in clubbing..the party is yet to commence but everywhere was already grooving..i would have love to enjoy myself to the fullest especially so as to get rid of the boredom that's about to have my funeral but since jamin was there and even the sole proprietor of the party i would avoid hitting a nerve.

After seeing things myself,i couldn't order his authority who dare do that?even after been introduced to smoking,mind you that was the last thing i would do to get my courage cuddle up or even being a party lovers or even under a very bad influence i knew smoking was bad so i wouldn't dare inhale that..My friends were dissatisfied that night i was introduced to it but i care not,have already pleased them with almost everything i was asked to do so as not to loose the friendship,but i think its time they support my decision too.
I stood restlessly at the entrance of my room trying to think about what to do?was i suppose to join the party?or stay indoor?either of those two options might raised up jamin's temper and by then give me the greatest embarrassment amongst his friends..i was encumbered really,if i were to call Michael,i wouldn't want to disturb a busy serious guy,while still in thought someone whispered to me,it was jamin!
'Wear your best dress tonight,we all need to groove'..

"Was that coming out of Jamin's mouth?i think jamin is turning a new leaf and whatever reasons it might be for him to be so nice to me all of a sudden,i think i would all find out soon

TOKE(The girl child)

Episode 14
I stood in front of my closet trying to figure out what specific beautiful dress i could wear for a party like this it was more unless like clubbing just so to the fact that it was been held at home and we would call it an house party'.
Wearing a 'dress' was like dressing to a birthday party and turning up than the celebrant herself..I'd rather wear something simple than dress so elegant,'too many boys are coming i said i can't afford to seduce them all. i took to my inner closet,bringing out a fine sowed Jean material shot and a leather phase black top..This would do,i thought!
Oh lest i forget...'lets call this upcoming clubbers' they wouldn't want to miss it for a one,let them come learn from old pro's on how to club so hard' i teased my friends in their absence.
I called tola's line it wasn't available,next to tayo's 'switched off'!only God knows what kind of fone this one is using?i spluttered angrily.
lets try the madam own..gran..gran...gran..gran..it rang!
Bae whatsup yo!why the call tonight?you should be sleeping by now she said!
What's wrong with your own eyes?why is it still opened?i replied her silly question.
She laughed hysterically like someone who jumped on a lottery!'babe na so so question i dry follow ask o,i just dey show say i still care for you now 'she said and one could tell there's a smile on her lips
Will you keep putting words in my mouth and not let me go straight to the point on why i called you?
Haba bae! I Don forget say you no dey call person for your life,na so so beep you dey always do.
"hit me with the gist she said eagerly"
'Ode!well i actually called you cos there's a party coming up later this evening at my home,and i believe strongly you guys would love to attend,i tried calling tola but.....
Babe!!!!!wetin i just hear?party?walai go check your gate na me dey knock!
Haba Tania! Kilode? Aswear na for club you go die one day..so how far Tola? How you go reach am?
See babe forget she no fit come,her parle dey house,you know how the paro dey be naw?she no fit show..but don't you worry,na only me dey house marle Don travel go Paris,i go reach your place Asap..
'And please don't dress up like an upcoming olx o...pom pom pom,she already hung up before i completed my statement.

***
The party was already rocking,jamin already came to check on me twice,but i lied using my menstrual period as an excuse,he said he would be so pissed at me if i didn't show up,but i promised him I'd definitely not disappoint him..i finally joined the party a little bit disturbed with the numbers of guys and girls i met at our very own sitting room.
They were just too weird and uncontrollably..i sat in the midst of jamin and his seems like friend,he was introduced to me as Akeem popularly called AK. Even though it was night and already dark he wore black sunshade 'i wonder why guys do this?i said in my head.He sat down gently like a young Igbo boy waiting patiently for his mum to bring him some akamu'.
He wore a white Gucci made T-shirt,a Levis Jean,a Gucci belt,a Gucci sandals worth of i don't even know!

Everything he wore was designer,and probably worth millions..Hush puppi brethren i thought...mind you,he was damn cute for me to say cute,he was extraordinarily cute.his aura filled the air and my body immediately stiffen at his gaze..i actually don't acknowledge boys being cute and all that,but when i say it out i mean it..he was handsome,very cute!his small lips stationed itself on that small but broad Face of his,he had a pink lips that was artificial tho i knew that instantly but atleast it caught my eyes...his dimples were so deep i thought davido's was still a baby when it comes to competing not to even talk of kiss Daniel. lets just remove me out of the gist and competition i was nowhere to be found..
He smiled gracefully at me when jamin introduced me to him.'
"AK,na my sis be this o,the baby of our house..
"Ohhh that lil sis you dey always follow me talk.?
Hey!he has always been flooding our ears with gist about you and yes i must confessed you a wow!
And that moment i blushed!yess! I blushed twice. 1)jamin being the orator of my beauty promoting crush among his friends..so why was he always acting like he doesn't give a damn about me?question i myself cannot answer..and 2 because that special cute Guy called me wow..
Awwww thank you!jamin have always been saying a lot of nice things about you,and oh i must confess you are really nice' you'all know that moment when you blush to some level and at last produce rubbish from your mouth,that was exactly what happened!!I sat next to jamin,but jamin later excused himself giving us chance to talk.

TOKE(The girl child)

Episode 15

Was he giving me the opportunity to talk to guys?was he matchmaking us stylishly?was this party created for me?he knew my age,Michael wouldn't allow such..
at this point i actually care not. i already have this sting in my heart about to really germinate..
He smiled at me when jamin stood up,
his smile was dangerous but at the same time very intriguing.
he turned his heart stopping smile at me and i almost melted under the intensity of it. That smile took my breath away!i can't breathe!i really can't!
So you are in what college? He asked!
Jesus is lord!That voice was killing...i wouldn't want him to notice i was falling for his cuteness so i replied him casually.
'I thought jamin has said a lot of things about me,he ought to have mentioned that i am still a sec school student. i answered politely feeling naive and strange at the moment.
Oh Darling!!!Your bro's bad cause he didn't mention that..
He only told me you have a cute eyes,a broad hips,and hmmm a portable seducing human size and yesss a cute lips to kiss..that moment i hated him,but i was already in his trap of cuteness,i was now in my own world targeting what's yet to come...
Lets just forget about that...i finally said..

In just five minutes one could feel the presence of love among us. he was so outspoken it made me get attracted to him...
Fourteen?not to young to have as mine..'catch them young and they shall be yours forever' he gave me that reply after asking me of my age...
Hahahaha!!so do you have a girlfriend?
I smiled at him using my left hand as a Fist on my head and the other on my lap caressing it and enjoying the moment with my new found soulmate..maybe God was keeping him for me somewhere that was why i have been turning out proposals from several men..
he laughed at me sweetly at me and I wanted him on me so badly.
Me?uhhh no No i don't...i actually don't do relationship,i fish for and play girls..but now that i have met you i promise to be loyal...even though you are fourteen,you don't look like one and you look wiser than every other girl on earth and hmmmm you are a beauty.
Are you asking me out was all i could say. i was surprised and my jaw fell to the ground. what a dream come true!
Just then a lady with a bottle of whiskey passed by bumped into another Guy coming and the drink spilled on me,she didn't see him coming.
Hey watch it man!AK roared at the Guy. 'you no watch where you dey go?
Why didn't you ask this so called girl who didn't watch her way?the Guy roared back..
Jamin was nowhere to be found. the party was about to disorganized. only heavens know where jamin might be maybe Busy on his drugs or something..
Na me you dey follow talk?you know who i be?baba you wan die
Na you wan kill me?was the guy response.
You know if na me wan kill you?He asked retaliating with an heavy blow on the guys face..What a moment!
AK please stop this i said!
No stay out of this sugar!
Again i blushed"
The Guy was nowhere to be found,some hefty Guy already led him out in order to stop the fight..
Thanks for defending me!
Nah its nothing you deserve more....
Ohhhh my black Knight in shunning armor!!

TOKE(The girl child) by Felix the_millennial.

Episode 16
There's this knob in my stomach that won't loosen easily as I sat around AK. I wanted to kiss his small rounded lips. I called on the goddess of love to show me the right path. if anyone would ask me what I really wished for. I would definitely call out that one name "HAKEEM". yes Hakeem !
Hakeem I would say with all this intensity am feeling. he would be my first love.

"so you were asking if I was asking you out" he said,his voice sounding a little bit husky.
actually....."

what was he going to say? was he going to break my heart and say things like "oh no! you just like a little kid sis to me,all I did was just compliment you. go read your book" he wouldn't do that right?

'DING DING DING"
we had an intruder! my phone intruded our conversation. the caller ID shows that its Tania. Tania destroyed everything.
his fone rang too and it almost felt like a coincidence.
"is this a coincidence or fate?
I didn't know who it was on his screen but he led himself out giving me a light peck on my cheek,giving me more rooms to blush on a million.

"that would be goodnight. I need to attend urgently to this" he said a tone of sadness in his voice.
"OK! I said..goodnight"
still in daze,perhaps because of the peck or because Tania and his unknown caller intruded us,I almost felt like dying.

I ran upstairs across the hallway giving room to myself to pick my friends call.
"babe been trying your number since forever but you refused to pick. am very sorry bitch. am grounded for a whole one month. I can't step out of this house." she sounded so scared and wary.
"Good for you. I spluttered out. its no biggie tho"

I didn't even notice Tania couldn't make it plus my fone has been on silence for a while now. what a night!
His gentle face keep wandering through my imagination as I lay still on my foamy bed listening to song by Rihannna. "WILD THOUGHT"
Am really getting this wide thought already.
"this boy better not be the end of me" I sigh drifting back to sleep slowly. it's been a long night!

********

Hello!!!Yes who's this?i said reluctantly.
No matter how sleep might want to gag my mouth i think I'd still talk with this special person i just heard his voice..AK?how did he get my line?i thought..the last time i checked i didn't exchange lines with him..maybe that little period in my dream God was trying to tell me that he was dialling my line not any other's....
he was requesting for a Lunch date..God i wouldn't miss this for a one!!
"OK I'd meet you after school" I said stylishly!

Staying in school practically wasn't the best idea.
i got to school on a cold Tuesday morning,having a bad blood pressure mainly because of Hussein. He was the one at the school hall addressing the student,i got to school late so you wouldn't blame me for missing the school morning devotion. what so good about that anyway?
He raised his brow to look at the late comer but maybe he didn't see me well or perhaps saw me but avoided being embarrassed by a final student 14years old girl..
To the ss3 students, he continued,i would want you to tighten your hardworking seat belt as your finals is about to commence i want you guys to know that the only joy you can give your parent is to come out with flying colours in this forthcoming waec examination. Any unseriousness shall be dealt with consequently,he said looking through my direction. we wouldn't want any sort of gang or group or students to lower our results here at afro high,it has never happened and it will not in your time,so folks seat up ad face life,don't only face it conquer it...
At the end of the speech all attention was drawn to us he was definitely talking about us Tania whispered..
Preparations about the forthcoming exam has been arranged...New instruments to the labs,a new set of computers and everything we all need for the exams.
Babe i should be at a lunch date today so I'd be sneaking out.
with who?Tania was alarmed.
What's wrong tayo asked!
I will gist you girls later but at least help me cover my escape away from Hussein....
Deal?they asked!
Yea deal! I said running out of my class,straight out to the school gate.i couldn't wait any longer,have gat to prepare to meet my shining armor..
I ran off,took bike which is a very common thing that happens to us in our every day to day activities,taking bike and at least saving us from being late,that's part of hussling in Lagos..
I got home confused by adamu's reaction...
'Hello ainty time's. I had no time to argue with him with the wrong pronunciation he gave my name. been used to it but oh well.
Hi adamu whatsup?
'I dey o,ehnehn small madame why we see you por house this time?school e Don close?"
What your business?i barked at him.
'Nothing e be my business,e just be say the two oga e dey'
The two oga?holy crap!what was he talking about?why on earth would jamin and Michael be home at this hour...i am definitely screwed this time!!
