The conductor requested for his money and I just stared at him, unable to form words.
"You no go pay?" He eyed me, the ever present 'conductor fury' was starting to show.
He asked the driver to stop the bus so I could be thrown out due to failure at providing the fare after continuously pleading with him that I had no money.
The bus slowed down and the conductor dragged me immediately.
"Stop! Don't rough handle her,I'd pay the fare abeg." The man beside vindicated me.
" You go pay?" The conductor confirmed.
"I go pay." He nodded.
"You no know say you go talk since? Con dey waste my time." He sassed before hinting on the driver to keep moving.
"Thank you sir. Thank you very much, God bless you sir." I thanked the man and he smiled in return.
We passed my various bus stops and I sm
The bike stopped and we alighted right in front of the house."Well here we are." JB smiled.It had a gate and I couldn't seem to make out any other thing due to the darkness. It didn't look too terrible though, it was a duplex and was quite obvious it was the 'face me, I slap you' kind of residence. Much like the one we lived in before I moved in with the Peters.The sixty watt bulbs shone brightly in front of the house, illuminating the verandah. We walked through the gate and it freaked loudly, obviously needing to be checked or thrown away."Wait!" JB said and I held onto my hand."Jump that place." He said and I focused my sight on the floor, it was a really deep hole in the floor. My leg could've gotten hooked in there, it would've been a really terrible night.I jumped over and we walked through the door and into the corridor, going by many doors to various rooms till we arri
"Cut it out." I mumbled to whoever was tugging at it."Stop!" I said again from my beautiful sleep as the tugging continued."Quit it!" I yelled out, shooting my eyes open.I looked at my wrist, my mind instantly driven to the family I'd left behind. It was the bracelet Zizi had gifted me and I held it dearly.My eyes darted round the room and closed in on Scorpion's creepy set. He tried to look cool but I could bet a buttcheek that he was responsible for the tugging and right now he looked uncertain about whether he'd been caught or not."Good morning." I acknowledged, my hand running over the bracelet. I picked up the hair band from the couch, I slipped off while I slept.I reattached it to my hair.By my side was a folded a piece of paper, I opened it up and it was a note with a five hundred Naira bill. It was from JB. It contained what to do for today till he go
I walked in and made a terrible mistake."Good morning." I greeted the middle-aged woman whom I assumed to be Mama Tiv."Good morning o, what do you want to buy?" She smiled.Mama Tiv was a light skinned beauty, age was definitely on her side with just a fine line on both of her cheeks and some crinkles at the side of her eyes."Okay ma." I assumed she knew me. "Rice, spaghetti, plantain, one fish and one meat ma." I said to her and she apportioned the various foods on my plate." This is it." She handed the wide ceramic plate to me. I collected it before getting seated on one of the plastic chairs and placing my food on the tarpaulin-covered table."Ma I want one fanta too." I requested and she handed it to meI dug into my food and was done in no time. It was nice, it had the whole canteen essence to it and also reminded me of my previous home with
What was that?I could feel someone tugging at my wrist again and this time it was much worse, they were also trying to unfasten my jeans.I jolted awake from my sleep, surprise masked my face as I looked up at the person.I screamed my lungs out, kicking around fiercely as I tried to get him off me.I'm not weak…I kicked harder and swung my fist all around, with just one thought resounding in my mind.I'm not weak…"Get away, bastard!" My knight in shining armor bursts through the doors and instantly grabs the pressing iron at the corner of the room."Bastard!" He chanted as he hit him in the head multiple times before the victim bolted out of the house completely.I didn't realize I'd been sobbing."Yellow pawpaw, are you okay?" Scorpion settled beside me, checking on my welfare.
"Hey munchkin." Cas tapped me awake and I yawned as I opened my eyes to the world."Hi." I was weak."I made dinner and figured it was about time to wake you up." He said and I nodded.I trudged to the bathroom like a sleep-dazed zombie for a tinkle.I grabbed the spare toothbrush before applying toothpaste on it and I brushed my teeth. Cas' bathroom was definitely grand, it was bigger and dare I say, even more sophisticated than mine.Rinsing out the brush and my mouth, I loathed the already forming headache, I needed some paracetamol.I rinsed my face too and exited the beautiful bathroom.I'm coming for you, bigger jacuzzi."Munchkin, here's your food. I have to get down to my office, I need to attend to something." He said to me as he tapped furiously on his phone." Okay."" Stay safe baby, the tablet
"That's not equal!" I countered."Then let's get the housekeeper!" He replied defiantly."Nope! We're doing the work today." I refused."The house is huge." He groaned."We aren't doing the whole house na." I said and he urged me to go on."Our rooms are on us by default so I'd do the upstairs corridor and you'd do the downstairs corridor, I get the kitchen and dining area including the mini bar and you'd do the main living room and the porch." I explained to Cas and he didn't groan this time around.Progress."I got the patio ma." Zizi walked in and smiled at me."Zizi!" I attacked him with a hug, easily wrapping my legs around his waist, failing to notice Cas' expression."Hey there munchkin, how're you doing?""I'm fine." I bounced on my feet." Let's get cleaning." Zizi smiled.
The English exam was over about thirty minutes ago and the ss3 students were about to turn the whole school into a ruckus. We were having the sign out exercise on our school uniforms."Senior Attracta!" A few of my juniors squealed as they sighted me rushing towards me with markers in their hands."Let me sign for you." They crowded me like ants on sugar and I let them."My turn." Aisha and I exchanged signatures and so did James, Tj and I."Babes." Ella grinned as she sashayed towards me, a bounce in her step with a marker in hand.We walked together while she said all she had to about the happenings in my absence. Latest updates included how she and Tj got to spend a weekend with her parents and Nuel and all that happened."Are you coming for the after party?" Ella asked."Nope!" I replied point blank." I expected that." She shrugged it off
"Well, isn't this fancy." I commented as we walked into the club. That was the best word to explain it."Zizi should be here anytime soon." Cas was getting used to calling him Zizi."Hey guys." He hollered as he approached us."Munchkin is that you?" His mouth hung open." Zizi." I hugged him." Happy finals munchkin.""Thank you.""Hi." Ruby waved at him awkwardly."Hey." His voice took a calm, collected tone." I'm Aziel." He extended his hand for a shake."Ruby and can I call you Zizi?" She smirked, blushing slightly while Zizi chuckled.Chemistry."Can we go in or are you both just going to keep on with the googly eyes?" Cas teased.We got past security and into the main party itself, the room housed sweaty, buzzed teenagers and a lot of foreign n
