Along the road of life

Nerd

Chapter 1

"Azeezah, wake up or you'll be late."
Yaya Yusrah whisper in my ear, she has been trying to wake me up the moment i decide to go back to sleep after morning prayer.
"Am awake" moaning and stretching my body, i yawn pushing the blanket off my body. Rubbing my eyes while walking to the bathroom, still sleepy

After getting ready i walked out of our room which am sharing with Yaya Yusrah making my way to the kitchen.
I bump into mama who is just back from work.
"Good morning mama"
"Morning Azee, am just heading to my room, want to rest after having a rough night"
"okay, take care. Am leaving for school now"
"Alright may Allah bless yhu"
"Ameen mama. Thank yhu"

mama is a nurse and devote all her life to work after the death of Baba. Life without a husband and children to tend to is not that easy. But she is adjusting to it now.
Baba died last 2years and it was a living hell for all of us. Mama worked really hard to stabilize our financial problem. Fortunately not long after the death Yaya Saifullah got a job in a well known oil company NNPC. Things started moving back to place and we continued living.

"Come on, hurry up or we are going to be late. And we are having Mister Kunle  first period. He won't let us in or worst he'll punish us" Khadija said
"sorry" i mumbled getting in the car while she just roll her eyes. Khalid her twin brother who's sited at the passenger seat turned and smiled saying "Hey Azee"
"Khalid, how are yhu" i asked him
"Never been better" he replied
Khalid and Khadija live next door, they are the only children to their parent. Khalid is a fair tall guy with silky hair and oval shaped eyes. His resemblance with Khadija is clear expect for his long pointed nose while Khadija nose is big. Khalid is the perfect definition of a playboy. I know 14 of his girlfriends.

"We made it on time, now yhu can talk to me" I said to Khadija seeing mister Kunle has not arrive yet. "whatever" she said as we walked in the class. Khadija is a total law abider and hate any sort of punishment.
Mister Kunle walked in and we all settled.

"Good morning class" He said placing his teachers book on the desk.
"Good morning sir" the class greeted back
"I remember clearly given yhu assignment on our last class, am i right?" He asked
"yes sir"
"Good, it should be submitted after the class. Now we are going to have a survey on the politics of our recent government."
"Why do we have to study politics, is it really necessary to have it as a subject while we know how they govern us" Cynthia whisper
"well, maybe to know how to be able steal government money without the EFCC knowledge" i replied in a low tune but loud enough for her to hear.
she giggles making the whole class to stare at us.
"Why don't yhu share it with the class. I know they will like it" Mister Kunle said
"sorry" she apologize glaring at me while i smirk.

"Are yhu ready for the mock exam?"Teemah asked
"yeah,even if we are to write waec exam today am ready" Khadija said
"thats because yhu are nerd" Samira said
"I agree" I mumble
"yhu are of no different" Khadija said glaring at me
"yeah, yhu guys are a total book lover" Samie said.
"We all are. Now will yhu stop arguing" teemah said shutting us up and we contiune digging in our lunch
"Khalid is such hottie but his attitude towards girls stink" Samie said staring at the spot he was with his other chick and friends, making us look at him.
"Urgh, he just make me loss my appetite" Khadija said.

"Made any new girl today?" i asked Khalid while the car was parked and we walked out. "Actually they are two. But the beauty in ss1 played hard to get. And yhu know me can't see a beauty and leave. Having my on ways she had no other but fall for me." he said with lot of pride in his voice.
"ohh poor girl. I feel bad for her" i said while he just shrugged making Khadija to smack his head
"what's that for?" he said glaring her
"for being such a loser"
"yhu know am not a loser unlike yhu. Yhu are just jealous yhu can't be like me"He said and walked in their house while i make my way to leave. Khadija walked with me to their gate and said bye.

"Yaya Jafar what are yhu doing at home? Aren't yhu suppose to be camping" i said seeing him having a full plate in front of him.
"Azee autar mu, can't yhu greet ne?" he said glaring at me
"Good afternoon Yaya Jafar. I miss yhu"
"I know, thats why yhu asked me why am home the second yhu walked in this house."
"okay, so when are yhu going back?"
"Are yhu here to interrogate me, please spare me a space to breath. Go and pray or do something useful and leave me alone" he said annoyed
"Okay"

"Am back" I jubilantly said as i walked back to see Yaya Jafar in the same spot i left him but with different plate.
"what are yhu eating again?" i asked him.
"auta, kinsamin ido fah" I laughed at his statement
"don't they give yhu food there?"I asked as Yaya Yusrah came in and sat down.
"who is going to cook for us, we are to cook for ourselves or buy and the food is not as good as homes" he said
"Then why dont yhu learn how to cook" Yaya Yusrah suggest
"yeah, I'll teach yhu" i said
"No i dont want to. Yhu girls should leave me alone" He said walking away from us while we just giggle.
