My Life As A Nigerian Teen

Beep beep beep

   Goes my stupid alarm , I turned it off and decided to sleep for thirty minute more or not , I wouldn't want my mum coming here , one of her shoes in hand , trying to wake me up,

    Arghh , I guess this is my life  , I sat upright , first things first, I said my prayers to my best friend in heaven and after that I got out of bed , looking around for my phone ,  second half of the term  begins today , yay school, note the sacasm ,
 
     Getting ready for school , I'd be needing some motivation,
PS : motivation equals music....

    Surfing through my playlist, I saw a song that matched my mood just right , I connected my speakers and let AJR"S voice or  voices blare out ,

" I should move cause new York is getting muddier ,

There's LA , but it's always kinda sunnier ,

And I don't wanna hurt no more ,

So I set my bar reload ..."
  I mouthed as I strutted to my drawers binging out my towels ,

" I'm a okay

I'm a okay

You say it but you don't mean it..."

" Charlotte turn down your music , it's to loud " I heard my mum say from her room , if it to was actually loud I wouldn't be able to hear right...? ,so I didn't turn it down ,

"  You're so insane

You're so insane

Shut up and just enjoy this feeling...."

Now for my best part ,the chorus ,

" Don't you love it ,

Don't you love it

No ain't happier

But I'm way less sad

Don't you love it ,

Don't you love it

No ain't happier

But I'm way less sad..."

  I sang , literally shouting the " but I'm way less sad " out , telling whole neighborhood how I was feeling ; ain't happier cause school's starting again , but I'm way less sad cause I'd be seeing my friends , I couldn't see them during this break because Yasmine house was a bit far from school while Elizabeth went church camping with her family ,I miss those guys ,

       I picked up all the necessary things I'd be needing for my lovely showers and strode for the bathroom ,

" I May be wrong

I may be wrong

It's stupid

But it's all I have...." My voice trailed off as I entered the bathroom ..

****:::***
 
    Past eight , the wall clock in the hall just stared me in the face dumbly , I was going to be late for school ,argggh..,

    I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the house after closing the door of course , Elizabeth's mum would have left by now , so I'd be walking , sigh...there goes the weight I managed to gain during the week....sigh ,

     On arrival , the school gates were opened , giving me a view of the compound, nobody was there except the Gate man , I greeted him and sneaked in hurriedly thanking my stars, taking the back door to go to my class , I made for the stairs , when I heard ,
