All through the day my thoughts were on how I would be able to come up with an excuse and be allowed to go out.
Then I realized that no matter what, my parents won't allow me to miss Islamic school.
Not knowing what to do I looked up and to check the time..3:56.
Wow I'm almost late
I hurriedly stood up to looked for my hijab and threw it on, walking to pick my bag and slip on my slippers.
"Umma I'm going!" I yelled out and left.
Walking a few blocks away from my house, Tabitha call came through.
"Hello Tabitha" I answered.
"Fatima, where are you? We promised to meet today or gave you forgotten?" She asked and I shook my head, then realized she's not seeing me.
"No Tabitha but I have to go to Islamic school, I don't know what to do." I replied looking around at the street around me.
"Where are you now?" She question and I replied with close to my house.
"Okay fine, street name and house number." She queried.
But then how I'm I supposed to tell her my street does not have a name and my house is not numbered.
"Umm Tabitha, my street do not have name and my house have no number" I replied shy.
"But how can you not have a street name...oh right, sometimes I use to forget you're from a poor family"
And even though I knew she didn't mean it the way it sounded, it still hurts, the fact that I came from a poor family hurts.
"Stay where you are, I will send my driver to come and pick you." She ordered.
"But" I tried to object.
"No buts !" She announced and cut off the call.
------
"No, no find something else basma!" Tabitha snaps, I'm currently in Tabitha room where they were looking for clothes for me to wear, when I came in Tabitha said and I quote "you look like all those aboki grandmothers ". Although I don't know how I look like aboki grandmothers, it was still funny."Good, Fatima wear this." Tabitha threw a blue jeans trousers to me and a white off shouldered top.
"Okay" I made my way to the bathroom until she called me back.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To change?" I more like answered than replied.
"Do it here." She ordered, I look around the room, all the divas are here, dies she expect me to change in their front?.
"I should be naked on your fronts?" I questioned .
"Duh!" She snaps her finger" Do it, don't worry when Alhaji Bello tells you to be naked in his front, let me see how you will refuse."
Without another option I strip in front of them.

We walked into Country place in Maitama, I have never been to a club before so I really don't know what to expect.
They are chairs there, white chairs and the place is dark apart from the little colorful lights swinging around.
Four men are sitter in the inner part of the lounge and Tabitha move us to there place.
"Alhaji Alhaji" Tabitha praised and moved to sit on his lap and lay a kiss on his lips.
These men looked older than my father, they are fat with protruding bellies.
Basma move to sit in his other Lap and his arms move to wrap around waists.
Dorcas moved to sit in the other on another man's laps and so does seyi.
I was the only one remaining and Tabitha glared at me and motioned for me to sit in the other man Lap.
"Um Alhaji Bello, this is Fatima, our newest member, she's a very shy girl" Tabitha introduced and I looked down not knowing how to reply.
"Oh hello darling !" The old man greeted and I held back the urge to puke.
"Fatima" Tabitha called out with a fake smiled "Say hi." She said with grinded teeths.
"Come here" Alhaji Bello beckoned and I shyly walked up to him, he dragged my hand and I fell down to his lap.
And that was when I realized that to be a part of the divas, I had to change many things about me.
