THE LIFE OF A NIGERIAN TEENAGER ✔

19~ THE PREGNANCY

"Oh my God, what are we going to do?" Basma asked pacing in front of me.
"I don't know but I know if my parents gets to hear of this, I will be six feet underground by tomorrow."

So it was true, after I got the pregnancy scare from Mrs Adam three days ago. I rushed to the hospital and did a full test. Of course I lied that it was needed in school. But long story short. I was pregnant and  i didn't have a clue who the father was.

So there I was with Basma in Tabitha's birthday party that was happening in grand mirage. It was a day party so I couldn't get into trouble with my parents.

"That was why I told you not to have sex in the first place but did you listen to me? No you didnt."

"I know, I know, I'm so sorry but you have to help me. I have no idea what I'm going to do." I started sobbing. It was too much for me.

"I don't too, we're just a bunch of seventeen year olds that think they are adults."

I was full on crying by now. It just hit me up at once. I knew having sex was a mistake but I didn't knew I would face the consequences so soon.

What would my parents do? How would they react? I was so done. It was over for me.
How could I start raising a child all by myself?

"Oh baby, don't cry, we will figure this out I promise. Just Keri calm okay? " She cooed and I nodded. "No one will find out."

"No one will find what out." A very familiar voice spoke.

Both Basma and I sprang up. Tabitha was standing a few feet from us holding a glass of Chapman and a hand on the hip.

Basma and I shared a look conversing with our eyes. Basma was making signs that we should tell her and I was shaking my head no. Tabitha was a snitch and I didn't trust her with anything at all.

"Well?" She raises a perfectly arched brows obviously waiting for an explanation.

"Um... Tabitha promise not to tell a soul this..Fatima is pregnant and we don't know the father."

She looked at us for a moment. No emotions. I was expecting a snugged proud look but nothing was said.

"Explain." One word and we started spilling everything. She listened attentively and then suggested that was completely out of the book.

"No way, count me out of this." Basma said, raising her heads in a surrender motion.

"Its fine, I'm telling you, no harm will be done." She insisted.

"One harm will be done. What you're suggesting is completely unearthical. Besides I thought you love Yusuf." Basma bellowed.

"Well that was before he ditched me for Fatima, now I want him to pay." She laughed and we were not amused.
