It was hard,she couldn't remember it all..Nicole moved to Port Harcourt..Hard name to spell though.Everyone confusing each other, saying the name had a dash /didn't have a dash (-),the name was a town so it was two different names. God knows the only reason she learnt all these theories was because of exams.
School was okay tho,she didn't have any problem with anybody.She kept her peace ,always quiet,sulking and looking at the crying babies in her kindergarten class.
The classes weren't graded like in those american books she usually read.
Everything was either;kindergarten,Nursery  and primary before you got to the secondary level which was everyone's dream (practically the only best time of your life ).
Well as far as she was concerned she couldn't wait to grow up and get to those primary classes..
One could say she had wanted to grow up fast with all the signs she had been giving since she was small.
The number one sign she hated the Cerealac baby food they have her,Used the toilet under 1 years though she was a short wimp, ate garlic like it was food,hated baby milk,started reading novels and books so early .
But there was a problem not a problem for her though,she was eerily quiet  like they say she couldn't even say a coherent greeting.
Nusery section  flew fast.
Primary one (grade 1) came..Being a teachers favourite could sometimes bring hell,she always had to write the List of Noisemakers and well that brought enemies.The boys were well known noise makers especially one short boy*really short *named Peter Boyle ..
Damn !he could make noise like a parrot.
He did make her cry one day when she had written his name ..
Reporting to a teacher was useless.But she wasn't one to quit/be bullied so she had always written his name down.
Funny how he turned quiet after some years ,Nicole reminisced as she sat down on her desk.
The boy was still a playhead though he had finally started being serious with his books..
Shaking her head,She stood up to go see what was available in her kitchen..Spinster hood could be so annoying there was hardly any cooked food at her place but at least she didn't have to cook for 8 people including herself.
She was born into a big family of 6 children consisting of 5girls and 1 boy  that's including  herself.Taking an egg,She laughed to herself as she thought about those days ....

A short one too..Bear with me 😢. .I don't really like writing p.o.v stories.So its going to take sometime.But let me you give u a highlight. .The  chapters  will be mostly about her recalling her past and how she spent it until the present  ..A lot of African slanfs will be used but i will explain the meaning at the end/beginning.So check for the meaning tho.Pls do put this on your reading list..The good stuff is about to be revealed.
Stay safe. ❤❤❤
