Deborah is sitting in front of her mirror getting her hair styled as she tried to comfort her neighbour, Alexa who was about to get into a new school in her JSS 1."Alexa, I remember when I first got into my new school, Gifted Hands Secondary School. I was so nervous. But at the end of the day, everything went on fine. Just fine" Deborah said with a guilty smile on her face. " Indeed. Even your face tells me that you are lying. I have heard a lot of things about that school, and..it sounds scary. I remember your first day there, you came home quite unhappy and didn't smile at anyone. Besides, the school I'm going to is probably way worse." Alexa replied with a nonchalant facial expression. "Hmmn, you know what...sit down and let me tell you a story", Deborah replied. " Jeez..your stories are always so boring. I wonder the kind of Princess you want to tell me about this time. I'm no longer a baby, you know?", Alexa said. "I know that, I want to tell you the story of my life in GHSS (Gifted Hands Secondary School) I will tell u how I moved from a a naive little girl to a..less naive little girl. It's quite interesting I swear",  Deborah replied. "Alright...fine, you can start", Alexa replied. Debbie continued," You obviously are not interested. Well, I wrote everything in a book, more like a journal. Maybe I should..."
"Yes!" Alexa interrupted, "Give me the diary I'll read it all. I promise", she continued, obviously not as interested in Deborah's story as she tried to appear to "Okay....I guess I believe you", Deborah answered, reaching for her diary and placing it in Alexa's hand. "Bye!! I wanna go and start it"
"Yh, okay", Debbie replied.

Now, Alexa is sitting in her bedroom with Deborah's journal. Ready to read..
