Alisha #ProjectNigeria

Chapter 1

Alisha POV

The night was just peaceful and quiet, exactly how I liked it. I just stared up to the ceiling of my room while on my bed, literally counting the ceiling squares. I was lost in my thoughts. Tomorrow is the D-day, I am going to officially be a university student. I was so excited but suddenly, my secondary school days hit me hard. Gosh! Why should that spoil this little moment of mine. Well, that shouldn't bother me because it is a new year with new vibes. I turned to the right side of my bed, put off the light by my bed side, told Goodnight to Jesus and I went to bed.
And best graduating student of the year 2017 is Alisha Adaobi Azubike! With pride, I walked towards the podium to collect my award and give the great speech. Everyone was delighted especially my beautiful parents and my Greek God who walked up to me to give me the ki.... and suddenly I heard a ring which became so loud grrrrrrrr! I woke up with a start and realized that it was just a dream, disappointed, I switched of the alarm on my phone. I said my morning prayers, picked up my phone to read the latest gossip and say hi to my best friend who I have never met before, cliche.

"Hi Kamsi", I typed and greeted while I took out my brush, put a paste on it to begin the routine , then my phone beeped

"Hello love", I read his message and a wide smile formed on my face. I dropped my brush in the sink ewww! But I didn't care at that moment.

"What are u doing awake by this time? Isn't it 1am at Atlanta?"

"O yeah, it is. Just want to tell u good morning and Al, drop your phone and prepare for your first day at school, I am still here, I am not running away 😉"

"Idiot" I cursed and dropped my phone instantly. He always feels he is special, whatever. I went back to my bathroom to prepare.

"Obi I hope you are ready? We don't want to miss the flight, do we? My dad called from downstairs

I checked the time and it was already 9:30am. Oh gosh! My flight was scheduled for 10:30am and I am still at home. I hurriedly picked the few things I left on my dressing table and dropped them into my hand bag and then I rushed down stairs. The driver was already waiting for us. He collected my luggages and dropped in the booth of the car. We all got into the car and left for the Murtala Mohammed
*************
"Obi sweetheart" my mum hugged me tight. We arrived Abuja exactly 11:45am. Mum was already waiting for us. I was so happy to see her although I saw her just last weekend when she came to visit. Mum stays at Abuja while dad stays at Lagos. They have not separated if that's what you are thinking. Mum works in one of the big hospitals at Abuja as a medical doctor while dad works in one of the pharmaceutical companies at Lagos as the managing director. They see each other every weekend, either mum comes over or dad does but dad doesn't like it that way so he has been trying to get a job in Abuja so that we can all be together.

"Obi, did you get everything you need?" My mum asked me as she dragged my box to the trunk of the car.

"Yes mum, I did" I answered her while she and dad tried to put everything I had in the trunk except my hand bag which I was holding.

Dad drove us to my school, Baze University which I am going to spend some years as a student of biochemistry. I just hope this journey will be different from the previous ones.

Sorry for the short chapter but I hope you enjoyed it? More are coming your way. So relax

Q. How will Alisha's school life be?
