Up there is a picture ofAyomi . Nifes older sister
My alarm woke me up I switched it off and checked my phone; 6:00am June 23.We travelled to Kwara yesterday so we wouldn't be late and lodged in a nearby hotel.
The day I've been waiting for my dress is black and elegant and I love it
I put on my heels and my sister came in to put my make up on while Ire made fun of me the entire time.
"Mom said you guys should be quick Dad is getting tired of waiting" Seun told us as he came in and ruffled my hair saying he can't believe I'm this grown.
"Seun now!" Ayomi shouted at him "what did I do?" "Do u know how long it took me to brush that wig to perfection!" "Yeah well you did it once you can do it again" she glared at him but he just laughed at her and told Ire to follow him so they can get our things packed out since we were leaving after the graduation.
After lots of adjustment my sister was finally done I looked at my self in the mirror and I loved what I saw.
"WHAT ARE YOU GIRLS STILL DOING ITS GRADUATION NOT WEDDING NOW!" Our dads voice boomed and Ayomi quickly grabbed her bag.
"Let's go" We went out to see my mom totally dressed up as she became so dramatic about how pretty I looked and how I'm so grown up, my dad seemed in a hurry but when he saw me his face softened and he complimented me as we all made for the car.
I brought out my phone and texted Korede Me: I'm on my way
Korede: Me too, see you there
Me: Okay
Immediately a text from Zainab came in
Zainab: See you soon
Me: Okay
Zainab: I want to talk to you
Me: What?
Zainab: I'll tell you in school
Me: Okay bye
Zainab: Bye
After a while we arrived it and entered the hall.I and the rest of my classmates followed our class teacher to a section where we all wore our graduation gowns.
After that when we filed in I was the first in line with Korede behind me. After sitting down he smiled at me and I smiled back and the graduation commenced.
I could barely pay attention the thought of finally being free from this school was stuck to my brain the speeches went bye and I was glad I wasn't the head girl because I can't even stress myself to write speech.
Aisha is the head girl and Korede the head boy so it was left for them I'm the health and welfare prefect.
The choir presentation was beautiful and the ceremony went well. Immediately after, I got a text from Zainab for me to see her behind SSS2 so after listening to the praise from my family I excused myself.
I saw her leaning against the wall there. "Hi" "hi" "you wanted to see me" "yes emm, look I know I might not have been the nicest person to you in school but I've changed now and I wanted to know if we could still be friends"
" You want to be my friend or you want to have my friends" "No now it's not like that lets just start over".
I crossed my arms and her eyes shifted to them and her eyes lingered on the bracelet. From her face I could tell she read it, does she like Korede again?
"I like your bracelet" she said quietly "thanks" "it's from who?" "Korede" she laughed but it seemed fake.
"How do you do it?" She asked me. "How do I do what?" "How do you get everyone to like you! I mean do you know how hard I've worked to get Korede to notice me and here you are getting gifts from him without stressing. How do you do it?"
"Uh by being my self" her eyes turned cold as she stared at me "no one will ever notice me unless you're out of the picture"
"And what exactly are you implying" "that if I can't get everyone to turn against you which was my plan A, and I can't become your friend then steal the spotlight which was plan B, then I'll go for plan C, elimination method"
She was starting to scare me so I took a step back "What are you talking about?" I asked but she didn't reply me with words instead she grabbed my neck.
I tried to pull her hands off but I couldn't I was trying to pry her hands off me but it was to no avail so I poked her eye to distract her then pushed her to the wall as hard as I could and with a loud thud her head hit it...hard.
Blood started gushing out of her head "Zainab! Zainab!! She glared at me and her eyes slowly rolled back. I shook her body but it remained still and lifeless so i started freaking out. Zainab was dead and I was her murderer.
"Oh God, today was supposed to be a good day now what am i supposed to do?!" I thought out loud. I considered screaming and acting like I just found her but there's blood on my hand, how would I explain that? I ran to the fountain trying to keep my hands still as I could here my heart beat as blood rushed to my head making it pound and I rinsed my hands thankful that there was only little blood on them when I felt a hand on my shoulder I screamed.
But when I turned it was just Korede "I'm sorry I startled you" "it's okay" "what happened to your dress?"
I looked down and found the blood on my dress thank God it's black. "Oh I was struggling to open my Chapman bottle and ended up pouring it on myself"
"Oh ok let's go back to the others everyone is wandering where you are" "alright let me just go to the restroom I'll be back in a second" "alright be quick though" "sure".
I ran to the restroom and was glad to be the only one inside I quickly washed of the stain and did my best not to cry and ruin the make up as I stared at the mirror.
"I, Oluwanifemi was a murderer" I felt like crying, throwing up and pulling my hair out all at the same time.
But I composed myself, put on a fake smile and went to enjoy the rest of my day with my family.
