The inside seems more cool and beautiful than the outside, everywhere was crowded and cool,it wasn’t noisy neither was it silent ,I was still checking out the beautiful place when a guy fastly approached us

The man stopped laughing and led us ,we arrived at a glass like place ,he then told us to enter as it can contain just three of us,he instructed us to press 2 immediately we entered,
So we entered and he closed the door,I was so scared to touch anything while Omolara who was at the front immediately pressed two ,I know not what happened next ,all I can explain was the thing vibrated and boom the door opens and we all came outside,I have no idea what the thing was,it baffle me to be since ,well,we soon found an empty table and chairs,we sat comfortably on it and someone rushed to us placing a long single book before us,I stretched my neck to see what was it and it was written ontop”menu list*

Mum:you slept like someone who was not going to wake up again

Me:mummy it’s not fair oo,I will soon leave house for you,the ones have used won’t surpass the left over ,am going to enter school soon and leave here
I yelled out loud
************************************
I sat on the colourless couch in our living room,of course when I say colourless ,I mean I can’t identify what colour it is exactly,I was strolling through my phone when I saw a popped up message ,email message,I click on it and it took me to the message box ,
Message resumption date is bla bla
Omoo,e don happen,Asin i am leaving this home for good ,for better and for the best,I ran inside to inform my mum Abt the good news and date to resume for school and activities,I can’t wait any longer ,Asin it’s been like hell at home here
You wonder how I got resumption date without exams ,
Flashback to when I was in secondary School
I remember i still have a father then,i mean , someone I can call my dad ,a father everyone would wish to have,caring, educated and wanting if not his male but female children to study and come out as a graduate,I honestly don’t know why my dad refused to focused more on his male children and i never seized any free time to ask him why cos I don’t care
I did my jamb when I was in my SSS3 back then when I had a trial on jamb and the result was good when I later checked,it was then I did some registration and preparation as it been commencing in my school of choice (LASU) Lagos State University has been my dream school ever since I know I will be going to University after my secondary School, have been hearing Abt the school for a very long time ,as the matter of fact ,it’s the best for lagosians ,if not then unilag ,but I heard unilag matters mostly with connection,and whom am I ,the 6th daughter of a well being man ,been respected by all as he was part of the top 10 most richest in ikorodu,well ,my dad left me and my mum,you know what I meant by that,as someone that married 3wives and it’s been only me and my mum ever since my ss3 ended ,the man(my dad) didn’t even fuful his promises of Making sure I finish my secondary School less to talk of going to the uni like he promised to make me become a well and highly respected barrister or even judge self ,but before I can be a judge ,I know I have to have a barrister experience first ,where is he now
Now I believe in the saying that,anybody can switch at ant time ,only God will stay forever,my mum will say that even if it doesn’t go as expected,and God is still God
I must confess,it’s really been hell without my dad ,Asin financially,I must confess
* Now*
Day by day ,time flies as I waited for the day I will be resuming school,Asin this is reality not longer a dream ,I will be a student of lasu ,I mean I will be on my own and not under control of my mum or any close relative again,I can sneak out of school I mean I can go outing with friends freely and not been scared of returning home late
The time comes and I was already a student of lasu ,Asin we’ve resumed
Lectures commence fully on Monday as normal
I was in the school compound, walking gently as my normal steps ,I glanced through everything I see on the road ,I even stopped at a point to examine the environment that Led to my department
I was on my white long sleeve shirt and a tight black skirt that looks like that of a cac choir skirt , you know how that skirt looks like na,well worn with my black baby shoe and a black mini bag ,this one school is giving us uniform,why did I even study law,this uniform irritate me,I mean this is not my plan ,have been mean to dress and drip ,Asin I want to become a drip queen when I resume University ,now everything changed when they announced every law student to be wearing black and white
While still standing ,I saw some people with the same white and black uniform,I knew I was not longer far from our department,I choose to follow them to where they we heading to ,we finally got to the class ,omoo,see noise ,I met a lot of people in the class seated and patiently waiting for the lecturer to come,I can’t wait for the lecture to commence,like I want to see what course law G whatever means Sha,the lecturer came in and appeared to be a famale ,wow,I think female lecturers will be lovely since they are always mother’s ,they will ease on us,trust me the lecture was so interesting,after the class,I ran home immediately cause it was over for that day ,I got home very tired after a long walk to my hostel ,I opened my room door and of course it was left the way I left it,I dashed to the kitchen to get myself food to eat
What a day ,what an experience,but I missed my mother,my only companion, someone have known for the past 18years and a day without her is ahh, terrible I must confess
