Ibim was not in school, the next day as she had said earlier. I stayed with Chidimma all the time, she held my hand every time we were together and that was holding my sanity. Malik was not in school either and so was Mina. Nobody knew what had happened when they were called but it seemed like Mrs. Yakubu was trying to save her son. The ground was shifting beneath us already when another video was uploaded by abroko. It was a video of Manny carrying Bevy, she looked lifeless. The caption was.... the cards are beginning to flip over."What does Manny have to do with this. I'm honestly tired", Floxy said. She walked faster than us so she could stand in front of us and talk."Who do you think Abroko is?", she asked looking at me and I shrugged."No idea"."First,they were just making people listen to gossip but now they are beginning to ruin people's lives. I think shit just got real in Ogan".I looked at Floxy as sh

IBIM Ogan looked  a little bit different than I remember it to have been all those years ago, the grass hedges looked a bit higher, there were more flowers outside and the uniform was better looking. One thing about seeing is the world looked new to me, everything caught my eye. The house fly on the kitchen counter, the stain in the car seat, the white spec on my uniform skirt even the dust that danced in the sunlight. I just taught I hadn't seen enough of the world yet. When I walked into the hallway, Mofe was standing at the door with a blue bag slumped on her shoulder, she had texted me the precise location, she would be and I wouldn't have recognised her if she hadn't described her location. She looked so new to me like she wasn't my best friend I had known for all these years. "Ibims", she said and ran in for a hug. "Mofe?""Yes", she said still holding me in her embrace. "So many people are lookin

LOLAIt all started the day I overheard Ms Angeline and Senior Daniel in her office, he was telling how they needed to stop whatever it was they were doing. I should have walked away but I stood at the door and pressed my ears to the door."I can't do this anymore Angie,if we get caught, you'll lose your job and I'll get expelled"."We won't get caught"."We could, the sex was good, the dates perfect but everything needs to end"."But Daniel, we're in love"."I'm seventeen,Angie. This doesn't go anywhere, we're just going to end this now".She let out a noise like scream. "I won't let you do this boy, I will make sure you pay""Your back again with your threats,did you smoke a blunt today,Angie." My heart was beating in my chest. I looked around and nobody was on the hallway. We were all meant to be in the assembly hall with Ms.Yakubu for a briefing on the inter-house sports. I wanted to go to the b

Let's visit our main guy Rhema.  RHEMA  I kept zooming into the video on my phone pleading the image to change from Malik to someone else, I didn't want to believe he had killed her or had a hand in killing her. We were like siblings, he was always around us and now all of a sudden he killed her? My insides were doing flips.  I want to be anywhere but here right now, Chidimma and Sarima are talking on and on about the video giving their theories and I just seated here in denial.  "Are you okay?", Sarima asked and that's when I realise them staring at me.  "Why?".
