Tales of the Nigerian Girl

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

It didn't take long for another family to move into the house.

It is a family of four, I'm guessing. But one thing I know for sure is that the girl living in the next room, isn't very nice.

" hi "

" can you like not bother me cause I'm trying to unpack " she said with attitude in her voice.

See not very nice, she looks like that type of mean cheerleader, with her red hair and flawless skin and ya. I just hope she doesn't notice me in school, you know for safety reasons.

" at least can I know your name "
no reply. This is hopeless how am I supposed to live next to girl who doesn't even like me, if she's like this here I wonder how she'd be in school.

" okay fine, I'll tell you my name first, Saph "

" okay, and like I don't care so stop bothering me " she walked up to the window and shut it in my face.

Okay I guess I'll just do my stuff, but here's the thing, I don't have stuff to do.

I think I could go to the park, it's a chill place.

I changed into black jeans and a t-shirt that was a little larger than me put on my glasses and tied my braids up in a pony tail, I wonder why they call it pony tail why not horse tail.

Finally I put on my award winning grey sweater, I love this thing, it's so comfy.

" daddy I'm going to my friends house " I told my dad peeping into his room. He nodded his head.

I'll take that as a yes.

I ran down the stairs and outside my house.

This is the part were I start to walk, walking is stressful sometimes... most times... or maybe all the time.

I mean the process of raising my legs from the ground, shifting it forward and bringing it back down to the ground without me falling, is quite stressful, then repeating those steps until you get to your final destination is just killer.

I finally reached the park after the stressful process of walking and found the bench I was sitting at the other day and settled under the shade of the tree.

Not too far from where I sat was that same dance group from the other day, it looked like they were rehearsing.

The park was quiet today, good for reading if you ask me.

I took out my phone from my bag and plugged my headset in, then brought out this horror book I've been reading, and settled down under the shade of the tree and began to read.

Horror books are scarier that horror movies, believe me, I tell you this from experience.

I remember when I could not sleep for three days because of the horror book I was reading. It was horrible every shadow I saw looked scary, it looked...

Creepy.

It was reaching the scary part of the book and I wanted to look away, but if I looked away, I wouldn't know what happens next, I stood strong and read forward, my heart beats began to go faster and faster until.

" hay "

I jumped letting out a small scream, in the process of doing this I dropped my book.

I took a deep breath placing my right hand on my chest to calm my heart beat and looked at the stranger beside me, smiling awkwardly to myself.

" sorry " I said looking at the stranger.

" It's okay I understand " he said smirking down at me. I picked up my book and put it my bag.

I stood up ready to leave because of the unwanted presence of the boy.

" I didn't catch your name " I turned around to look at this guy like.

" I didn't throw it "

" ha ha very funny " he said smiling at me.

I don't get this guy, the joke was dry and he is telling me it is funny. I shrugged my shoulder and started walking away.

" so what's your name "he said.

I thought for a moment before replying.

" Antonia " I said smiling at him.

" okay... Antonia I'll see you later.

Am I good at lying or what.

This park is supposed to be somewhere I can hide from all my troubles but I realised the best place for that is in my room, on my bed.

Soon enough I got home and sat on my bed.

Nothing to do.

I walked up to my window to check if the girl had opened it back, but to my dismay she didn't. I just stared at the window, like it would magically open, and guess what it did.

She opened the window and was about to shut it back when she saw me.

" wait, just tell me your name, I told you mine " I said.

" I'm summer, now leave me alone " she said shutting the window in my face.

At least I've made progress.

I'l find more time to disturb her but right now I have to go answer my mom, she calls me.

" yes mummy " I said running down the stairs.

I stopped at the bottom of the stairs and stared at the door looking at the family that stood there, I assumed it was Summer's family because she was standing there with them.

O this is going to be fun.

The family went to the living room and I followed closely behind them smiling evilly.

" Ada why don't you take Summer to your room "

I nodded at mothers words and went. She just told me that so I could leave, it's like a Nigerian thing, when you have older visitors you have to leave the living room for the parents, even if the movie your watching is so interesting.

I opened the door to my room and Summer went in and sat on my bed.

" so... hello once again " I said trying to start a conversation.

The way this girl looked at me, ah God, it is like she is already killing me.

" look me being here doesn't mean you can talk to me so... shut up "

This is pure evil.

" why are you being mean to me " I said in a babyish voice.

" o my gosh shut up " she said removing her eyes from her phone and looking at me.

" what are you doing on that phone sef " I said curiosity in my voice, I wasn't giving up this easy.

" mind your own business " she said looking at her phone.

" why " I asked, I am ready for this girl this night, she doesn't know about it.

" mind your own business "

" why "

" cause your disturbing me "

" how " I shot back at her.

She let out a loud groan and looked me with annoyance in her voice.

" just shut up " she finally said.

" why "
