Chapter 1

Avadoo Yila a quiet girl who's just 18yr old. Ava's a 5'2, she has a slender figure, small full lips with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a small pointed nose. Ava has beautiful black hair which is full thick afro.

"I'm really excited to leave Nigeria and study nursing in Harvard University, all thanks to my scholarship" I thought to myself with a small  smile

Well I'm the only child of my parents who have been married for 25 yrs. They tried desperately for a child but fail until ten years the they had me.

My parents pampered me and gave me whatever I wanted but I wasn't exactly spoilt my mum trained me to be generous like her. I've always lived my parents so I didn't demand for much although I was born with a silver spoon.

My father's a tall chubby man with a receding hairline, he had a deep husky voice. His features made him look cold but in reality he's actually a sweetheart.

My dad's a very successful entrepreneur who's name is Marcus Yila.

My mum's a very skilled Designer which has made her popular all over Africa her name's Doreen Yila. I got my features from my mom, she's short, has full hair with a small pointed nose. She also had big eyes and thick eyebrows with a slender figure.

"Ava dear you need to get up now or else you'll miss your flight" my mum said. Ava was a nickname well actually the short form of my name which means 'she came well' in  language Tiv. " Okay mum I'm getting up now" I replied, getting up and rubbing my eyes.

I walked to my vanity which had a big square mirror, it also had four drawers where I put some of my cosmetics, jewelry and my hairdryer.

"I'm actually leaving today" I said as I looked at my reflection on my mirror.

I walked to my queen sized bed and neatly arranged the pillows, I folded my fluffy blanket and placed my teddy bear which was given to me by my padre on my 5th birthday on my bed.

My room was enormous, the walls were lavender because that's my favorite colour, my bed was in the middle of my room, beside it where two nightstands one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right was where I kept my bible and my phone while the one on the left had a nude lamp on it.

I looked at the wall clock hanging above the door and it read 7am already and I need to be at the airport by 9:45am because my flight was by 10am. I walked into my bathroom brushed my teeth and took a hot shower, I washed my hair.

After 30mins I was done, I wrapped a towel around my body and another towel for my hair.

I walked to my vanity and sat on the chair. I grabbed my body lotion and applied it on my skin, I also applied deodorant and the Chanel perfume my mom gave me.

I tried using the towel to dry my hair but it wouldn't dry! "The percks of having an afro" I sighed while plugging in my hair dryer. I'm the next 35mins my hair was dry "finally" I said while applying my hair products.

I walked into my walk-in closet, which had different sections for clothes, shoes, bags, wristwatches, hats and cosmetics. Today I decided to wear something casual but comfy because my flight's going to be long 16 hours to be exact.

I decided to wear boyfriend denim jeans, a black turtleneck crop top with a denim jacket. I paired it with black Nike.

I walked to my vanity and picked a rose gold butterfly chain with the matching earrings and bracelets. I looked at myself in my full body mirror and nodded with a smile

"Shit" I said, noticing my hair "I haven't done anything to my hair"

I rushed to my vanity and put my hair in a double bun with two strands in front, I curled the strands in front and laid my edges. I put my butterfly clips in my hair. I'm obsessed with butterflies to the point that I have butterfly stickers in my room, yes I know I'm 18.

I grabbed my dark blue suit case, my blue backpack which had my gadgets in it. I switched off the lights and AC before walking out of my room.

"It's about time" my mum said, looking at me as a came downstairs

"Breakfast looks delicious mum" I said trying to change the subject as I sat on the barstool, resting my  elbows on the island. Breakfast was pancakes, strawberries and orange juice. I immediately began to stuff my face not realizing how hungry I was.

My dad walked into the kitchen and hugged from behind causing me to spit out the orange juice in my mouth and burst out laughing

"Dad you know how ticklish I am!" I said still laughing

Mum walked in out of nowhere "what's all the laughter about?" She looked at the mess and gasped "Ava what did you do? Why is there orange juice everywhere?" My mum asked, clearly upset

"Dad tickled me" I blurted

"Hey, hey don't blame me" Dad said

"You two behave like two year olds" mum said, glaring at us both as she cleaned the mess

"Sorry" we said at the same time

Mum sighed before saying "it's fine"

"Anyways munchkin, I got you a new phone" Dad said, with a huge grin

"Dad you didn't have to really, my phone is still okay" I said, concern laced around my voice

"Come on, you've been using the XS max for a while now so I got you 14 pro max" dad said with a smile

"Thank you so much Dad, I love you" I said hugging him

"No problem my darling and I love you too. Just promise me you'll be good and study hard" he said

" I promise"

"Now let's get going kids it's already 9am, so we'll beat traffic " my mum said

"Kids?" My dad asked with a raised eyebrow

"Mum I'm 18" I said with a giggle

"You both act like two year olds so as far as I'm concerned I have two children" she said with a laugh. My dad and I joined in on the laughter "I'm really going to miss this" I thought to myself.

The driver put all my bags in the trunk of the G-wagon. We all got in and the car started moving, I looked back at my house and said "goodbye house see you in a few years". My parents smiled at each other

It was a 30mins drive, when I got to the airport I look at the entrance and my passport and ticket in my hands.

"This is really happening" I said to myself
