She looked to the left, there she saw a huge crowd sitting on the bleachers. It was hard to spot her parents. The school hall was decorated red and black, she was sitting next to maryam. Mus'ab was sitting at the next roll. She couldn’t believe she was finally done with high school . Her twin already got a scholarship in a university in china to study medicine. She was going to school in Nigeria . Her and Maryam were going to attend the same university.
The graduation ceremony was over. All the graduates of Monica high school jumped in the air, threw their hats off and took pictures with each other. She ran through the throng to find Mus’ab. She managed to see him with his friends, Mus’ab ! She shouted his name. Bahijah ran to where her brother and his friends were giving him a bear hug.

Kaduna
6th January 2013
It was 10 am in the morning and Bahijah was still sleeping. The size of the room is the smallest out of the rest of the family member's room. The bed was right in the middle of the squarish room. There is a big black shoe box beside the bed. A mirror hanging on the purple wall above a small dressing mirror filled with perfumes and make up items. Next to them is a tall white drawer buldging with clothes. The room smells like fresh strawberries because of the bowl of dried petals and shells that have been smothered with air freshener. It feels cold in the morning because of the natural light that comes streaming in from the window. The room has a modern and girlish style . Most of the accessories are modern. The photo frame on the bedside drawer has a glass border with a little butterfly on the corner. Close to window is a study table filled with books on it. Bahijah !! Her peaceful sleep was destroyed by hajjo , their house help annoying voice shouting her name . Ohh Allah she said opening her eyes. Bangggg !! Bangggg!! She heard the sound of the door being knocked . What’s the problem hajjo , she asked.
Mommy said , I should remain you that you have to get ready because Maryam and her driver will be here any time soon. Hajjo replied.
Ohh my god I totally forgot me and Maryam are going to zaria for our registration , thanks hajjo.
Always at your service hajjo said.
She quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower , her bag was already ready . They are going to spend 4 day and then come home and get ready for school. Mus’ab already left last month , she was the only one at home . Coming out of the bathroom Bahijah got dressed in a red shirt and a black jeans, she took her Gucci side bag and her bagpack which had her clothes in it . He quickly went to kitchen to get her breakfast.
