Life is full of its ups and downs. Everyday it gives us something we can't say no to. You might be lucky and your day is all smooth and worthwhile or it might be filled with tears.
No matter what life had to give me,mine was always filled with tears. Discrimination plays a role in this,there is family problems and alot of things to think about. My life isn't sweet for a teenage kind of girl. I was filled with hope of living a good life, buh that just went down the drain. It's okay to dream,buh my past lessons has taught me never to dream too big because life could bring in something different.
I'm a teenage girl,I got short hair like most Nigerians do. Yh,right I'm a Nigerian. I'm a black,buh most people look down on the black probably why I wasn't offered the scholarship abroad. I'm a tall buh very fair female. When it comes to beauty,I can boldly say I was gifted to an extent. I don't really have much of the backside nor the front side,so I doubt if I can even attract boys.
I don't have an angelic voice.I'm not current with news. I don't know how to relate with my peers. I don't know how to maintain relationships. I get easily irritated and don't hide it either. Most importantly I can say a lot of hurtful things when my emotions are triggered.
Now enough of all of what I can't do. I'm a really great dancer,I really know how to successfully move my body. That's the only thing people notice me for,I guess. Oh yes, atleast I was born with a good share of wisdom. I'm extremely smart and it's takes me no efforts to top the class each term.
I was born on November 8th, I'm fifteen. People say I'm too tall for my age,some say I have a face younger than my age. But they don't know I have gone through far worse than they can ever imagine. My life was a total mess.
I'm the second born,with an elder sister and a younger brother. My sister should be about twenty two while my brother is Seven years of age. I work after school in other to support my family. I lost my dad two years ago(not like he contributed much).lol.
As a kid I used to have a lot of expectations and always lived my life without worries. Buh we all grow up and grow out of our fantasies. It's funny how what ever I fantasize was always different from what happened in real life. Maybe that's why I stopped having those fantasies and finally accepted that my life is a big nightmare.
"Tress it's morning won't you get ready for school or do you want big sister to tell mum that you've got a boyfri.....", I don't know why my sister decided to ditch school for a week. Buh ever since she got home,she has made my life a living hell. She is fucking annoying,she is the best sister in the world. Buh ever since she found out I had a boyfriend she has been blackmailing me more often. I wish I hadn't given her my phone to watch over that day during my uncle's wedding. She wouldn't have found out and I won't have to do her chores when she felt like being lazy.
"Jeez Ella,don't you think you're quite annoying for the age 22? When will you grow up honestly. Quit with all this blackmailing,since when did having a boyfriend seem wrong?..... I said closing my dairy,I guess that's all for today. My boyfriend gave me the dairy last week on my birthday. He said I kept a lot of things in and that would help a lot. Truth be told,it was really helping.
"You're too young to have a boyfriend Treasure, when I was your age I didn't even think of the opposite sex. Buh if you're just gonna argue with me and not get ready. I might as well call mum,I think she would have a better reason why you shouldn't have one. Muuuuuuuummmm.....", Like lightening,I closed her mouth before she would do something I will regret.
"Shush Ella,I was kidding. I'm going in to take my bath. I hope no one is in the toilet tho. Not me waiting for whosoever is in there", I said while grabbing my towel,bucket and soap container.
"How would I know who is in there,just do your rubbish in an empty toilet", I glared at my sister before finally leaving the room. Well,we live in two rooms..just the sitting room and the bedroom. We share the toilets and kitchen with other neighbors.
I took my bath and got ready for school. Thank God I woke up a little bit earlier. I won't like to be late like yesterday. I always trek to school no matter how late I woke up. I have learnt to manage money and to get to school early I just need to be awake on time. Luckily for me,my sis is home so she would help me cook for my brother.
My mum is really proud of me, I participated in an international debate contest and won for my school. I was attending a government school as at then,so my principal was really happy with the fame. I was given a scholarship from the chairman of Lagos State. So I changed schools to one of the most expensive school's in Lagos. My former principal wasn't happy with the fact that I was leaving the school because I was the most outstanding student. But I needed a better learning environment and was still filled with the hopes of a bright future.
"I need to stop having this throwback's and make myself useful atleast. Bye mummmm.. I'm off too school and yes I took the N200 on the table.. Don't bother yourself I will eat. I love youuuuu", I screamed the last sentence out,I'm sure the neighbors heard me tho. I then ran out with my school bag.
Getting to school from my house would take me at least 30minutes if I trek as fast as I could. I still had to read a whole speech..more like an article on the assembly ground. And thinking about the crowd alone freaks me out. We ain't that much, seeing as the school is very expensive but imagining the number of eyes staring at me still freaks me out.
