THE LIFE OF A NIGERIAN TEENAGER ✔

1~THE DIVA'S

I hadn't seen them since the day we left high school and I didn't plan to see them again. Not now, or ever.

But here I was, standing before the one place that connected us together.

Laura High School...

If I'll start any story, I should start from here. It started here, maybe it'll end here...too.

*******

My name is Fatima, I am eighteen years old, I come from a well, not rich  family, my dad is a trader and my mom sells sugar in our house. We lived in a tenant house, which is popularly called 'face me I face you'.  I had always been an intelligent girl, going out to competitions and winning.

  My goal was to leave the life we had and to make it big that nobody will imagined that the poor girl Fatima can do it. I was enrolled into Laura high last year when I was in my senior high year one, I got the scholarship from an examination that was taken. Laura high is a prestigious high school, it was founded by the prime minister of the federal republic of Nigeria, and was named after his daughter. It is a school only for the well endowed rich people in Nigeria and me Fatima is among them now. Now I'm entering senior high year two. I had always dreamt to be a huge movie star, not locally but globally, I want to be more famous than Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lawrence and many others, I want everyone to know me.

  Not only am i dreaming the part, I looked the part, with my black curly hair falling just beneath my back bone, my extremely clear fair skin, and my very wide hips that I inherited from my mother, I look more mature than most eighteen year olds.

   In Laura high, my biggest dream is to be part of the divas. The divas is not only the most popular club in school but the most interesting, filled with the richest kids in the school, they used the biggest room in the whole school, the science lab.

The president of the club Tabitha is an egotistical spoiled daddy girl, she is a very petite girl, she is fair, very fair, she have short hair, which she trims leaving it a low cut.

She is what you will describe as the real life Regina, from mean girls. Her father been the president and having her back drove her to become more meaner.

Kids are scared of her and teachers too, as with a snap of her fingers you would be expelled or suspended.

The divas club are known for the most awesome outings, anywhere that celebrities are coming, Tabitha's dad always insisted on the divas going.

  Everyone in Laura high considered Tabitha as a goddess, and everyone Tabitha casts a smile to will be considered extremely lucky, so imagine my surprised expression when she stopped by my locker.

"Hey Fatima!" She purred, yes purred like a cat, Tabitha is known to always spoil names, it's either she acts like she doesn't know the  name or just give it another meaning, and the thing is if that happens then the name stays forever.

  She had once changed a fellow mate if ours, Meshach name to 'mai shayi' which means 'tea sales person'.

    I was still shocked that Tabitha Davis actually knew my name to replied to her.

"Hello!" She snapped her fingers, pulling me out of my trance.

  "I'm so so sorry, hi Tabitha, oh my gosh, you're actually talking to me, I have been dying to..." She raised up her left hand, indicating I should stop talking, embarrassed at the way I was worshipping, I looked down, my cheeks flushing red.

     "You look like a diva, you act like a diva but unfortunately you don't talk like one." she said, looking at me up and down, analyzing what she is seeing, while dragging the but.

   "You will be good to the group, so welcome to the diva's club." She concluded making my eyes to widen, I jumped up and down in happiness, that I'm finally fulfilling my dreams.

    With me being in the diva's club, more connection will come, seeing as Tabitha always makes sure, the diva's attends every events.
 

     "Umm Tabitha, the diva's club is full, remember? It's the law of Laura high to have only five members of each club, we are already five." One of the diva's, Seyi informed making Tabitha to roll her eyes.

  "Right!" She moved her eyes, looking at the members of the diva's, the diva's always walk together, she smile when her eyes lands on Halima. " You! You're out, Fatima you're in."

  Worried, I realized that could be me, but no, I won't let the chance of being a diva pass me by, I will make sure Tabitha loves me.
