Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

HOME SWEET HOME

I couldn’t get enough of the food that night.

Mum had prepared breadfruit which was my favourite. She kept on complaining that I was lean and unkempt,she didn’t spare my plate as well cause she kept loading it with the breadfruit. The only people missing were my father and my elder sister. Ella was in school while dad had being transfered to Jos.

After dinner,I called dad and we spoke for a long time. I also called my sister. She confirmed to me that she just returned to school the previous week. We talked for long too before I heard someone call her in the background so she excused herself. I stretched out on my bed and slept off.

The ringing of my phone woke me up. It was some minutes past 3am. I looked at my phone and it was Patrick.

Me: Patrick
I called out in my sleepy voice.

Patrick: I must be a lucky man. I just said let me try your number to see if its available and look,its not just available,you picked too.

I smiled to myself.

Patrick: When did you come back?

Me: This afternoon. Sorry,yesterday afternoon.

Patrick; Anyone,you’re welcome.

Me: Thank you. How was the waec exam in your school?

Patrick: Ah! Was fine o. Yours?

Me: I thank God. Will you be writing neco?

Patrick: No. Most people in my school didn’t register for it.

Me: Ours was compulsory.

Patrick; You attend rich people’s school nah. Why won’t it be compulsory?

Me: You’ve started now. Which one is rich people’s school again?

Patrick: You’ve started your own too. Like I said,I just said let me try my luck, but noe that I’m sure that you’re back,I’ll now call often so I’ll know if we can hang out

Me: No problem.

Patrick; Oya nau go back to sleep

Me: Thank you.

I ended the call and went back to sleep.

The next day during my evening stroll,I went to a corn seller to buy one. There were some girls talking and I tried not to eavesdrop but I think I ended up doing that cause I got to hear one disturbing sentence. “Vivian is pregnant”. I quickly left the shop immediately without even buying the corn.

Is it my own Vivian or another Vivian? I decided to go to Vivian’s house to find out the truth for myself. I didn’t care anymore if she was beefing me or not,I was going to get the truth from her and that’s it. Did I tell you that Vivian’s elder sister had a pay call shop in front of their house? I got to the shop,there was no light so I couldn’t figure out the people that were there. I went closer and I observed they were two people making out.;

Me: Vivian is that you?

The both of them turned to me. I went closer to them and the boy looked away. I didn’t bother. I wasn’t there to see him anyways.

Vivian: Rose what are you doing here?

Me: I came to see you.

Vivian: Why? What for?

Me; Can we step out please?

Even in the dark,I felt the look of disdain in her eyes before she said words that left me in shock;

Vivian: Ebuka,I’ll be right back.

I wanted to be sure I heard right. Ebuka?

I looked at the boy and he still wasn’t looking at me. I went closer and turned to look him in the face.

It was my Ebuka. My Ebuka was making out with Vivian. When did he come back? Thought he said he would come back for me?

I turned and ran home without looking back.
