From thick to thin

Ella's pov
I felt something  pressing me down on my bed. I was sure it was almost dawn.
I wondered if it was all those demons i heard people talking about. Some say they press people in the night while they sleep.

I had always imagined what it felt like, but experiencing it wasn't pleasant at all, I could hardly breathe well.

Fear gripped me at the thought of what they would look like; I wondered if I would be able to see them, but i refused to open my eyes.
I tried raising my head but i couldn't, although i could move my arms and legs freely.
I finally took a leap of faith opening my eyes, only to see that it was my mother praying for me with anointing oil. Gosh! lol, trust Mum to do something like this.
Mom was always hard on me but i knew she loved me very much.
All i could do was muster amen when she was done. I greeted her,  got out of bed and had my bath.
It was another school day but unlike every normal day when I hated school, i was happy this time. Well, not because of school exactly, but because of my boyfriend. Lol "boyfriend", that sounded sooo strange, i had a 'boyfriend'. 
What would my Mom would do if she found out, she'll literally kill me.
My phone began to vibrate, i guessed who it could be, and sure enough i was correct.
Jimmy had sent me a message and the content made me chuckle..

I'm taking you out after school...babe

Jimmy was so extra But still the part of him calling me babe made me feel like I belonged to him and he was mine, I blushed....

Naomi's pov
The ride to school with Mom was so awkward, i avoided eye contact completely. Everything had gone well that morning, i had gotten up from bed and as usual, breakfast was
already beside my bed with chocolate at the side. Though Mom didn't like the idea of junk in the morning, Chef Tolu always snuck one in for me.
I got into the shower and ran a hot bath which was also my routine, but just as i was about to put on my uniform; i had a silly idea to examine myself in the mirror, staring at myself in the mirror; My figure 8 was coming out more. i wished i had Ella's kind of body; you know, the fanta bottle shape .
Anyways,  i was striking funny poses like the ones i had seen in one movie. When suddenly, i heard a laugh from behind me.
Goosebumps popped up all over my skin  at the thought of Chef Tolu watching me and staring at my body but it wasn't him, it was Mom and she had been there the whole time. I screamed as i shoved her out of the room, embarrassed.

"Naomi."

Mom called my name from the driver's seat, bringing me  back to reality.

"Ma?"

Smiling, she teased.
"Do you know you have your Mama's body?"

" Ewww.. Mum stop!" Rolling my eyes in utter embarrassment.

"Alright, alright ...that means you have a boyfriend."

"Mom!!"

"Alright... but there has to be someone you like in school, right?"

I always felt weird whenever mum tried to be cool. I knew she meant no harm and I could tell her anything, but then, I was an introvert and i liked my privacy,
She was staring now.

"Something like that." I replied as she packed in front of my school

"Sooo..what's his name?"

"Mummy! I'm already late."i said, grabbing the door handle.
But she wasn't going to let me off so easily. Click. she locked the doors with the driver's door control. damn, I was trapped.
"Oya just tell me his name and I promise not to disturb you again."

"Promise?" I asked just to be sure, I knew I had no choice now but to come clean.

"Promise." Mom made a pinky swear with her hand

"His name is Jimmy."...
