Special seventeen

Freinds 👭

             They could be a dear
         and always be there
    or they could be a tear
       in between one's flesh.

I laid down on my bed, my earpiece to my ears, my phone by my side enjoying the cool music.

Monday had been a stressful one so it's just appropriate that i rocked my tuesday.

I had fasted yesterday when i went for my exam, i broke  by 1:00pm which was the time i got home instead of twelve.

The exam questions looked like it was gotten from my jotting book.
I had answered every single question and was amongst the second set of people to be done.

I could have finished earlier but i took my time  to go through the questions again.

Of course i knew i couldn't score everything but i was sure that by the grace of God my score will be high.

Truly i believe now that no exam is hard if you study hard enough.

I read because i had no choice,
because I had no choice, there was nothing better to do but now I'm sure it will pay off well.

I had almost forgotten how much i love music before getting my phone yesterday and downloading as many music as possible trying to shut that tiny voice that was saying

'you're different now you shouldn't be listening to worldly music, is it glorifying God, are you gaining anything good from it'.

There was nothing wrong or unholy in listening to worldly music, it's just for entertainment i tried to convince myself.

I decided to check on all my internet accounts stopping the music.

Facebook, instagram, you tube, whatsap, I've missed it all.

I scrolled through my facebook  and then i saw her pictures.

Christiana's pictures, ripped jeans, tank top on sneakers.

No big deal, I liked the outfit but then it's 'christianah' we're talking about here.

She had always been the holier than thou one amongst us.

We had argued for over fifteen mins because christy refused that we wear trousers for our valedictory service and here is the same christy wearing crazy jean. I liked it and commented 'cute u'.

She was on line and i decided to chat her up, hoping desperately that she won't give me the same reaction as benny .

I've missed her and since I didn't own a phone all this while, we weren't able to communicate.

Me:  Hi
       How are you doing?

Christy : Am fine and u?

Me: Good.
So how's school for u?

Christy: good

The chat was boring so i decided to create a conversation.

Me: I didn't gain admission so i wrote another jamb.

Christy : Sorry about that, benny told me.

So she still talks with benny, of course i'm the only one benny is giving cold shoulders. She and benny are in the same level.

Could they have gossiped me like 'serves her right for not gaining admission '.

What's my problem, i muttered pushing the negative thoughts aside.

I texted back, ...okay.

She didn't reply and i didn't expect her to, if she wasn't interested in how my jamb went then it isn't her fault, no news on jamb is going to help her.

She probably have more lectures and university issues to discuss with her friends.

I intended on calling christy and today before i bumped into christy online and with the attitude I've gotten from two of my friends, i wasn't so sure about calling kemi again, however i called her.

Me :Hello kemi

Kem: 8yrs and five  months later, her parents finally forgave her, she said giggling.

Me : Kemi it's Joanne.

Kem: I know it's you, finally your parents got you a new phone after i helped in smashing your old phone.

Me: Haba it's not up to eight years and it wasn't your fault, i was laughing too.

Kem : I know it's 8months, how are you doing?

Me: I'm doing fine, how did You know i just got the phone?

Kem: That's because i tried your number just last week and it said switched off as usual, how you survived without a phone for so long beats me.

Me: I did babe i did, i replied with a chuckles. So how's kemi the university scholar doing.

Kem: perfectly fine jo,  school is hectic. Suits people like you,all my party party had to reduce.
Seriously privete uni is burdensome.

Me: Really, while am here hoping to get admitted.

Kem: Oh yeah, heard you didn't gain admission yet, advice from a friend already in school, have fun at your time now because soon when you gain admission, you'll be counting days till when you get a break.

Me: Oh, damn. Girl you've used up my airtime, i said laughing.

Kem: Sorry jhoor, I ll call you later in the evening or chat you up on whatsap. See ya.

The call got cut as i had exhausted my airtime, couldn't even say good bye.

But i felt happy, kemi was still the same unseriously serious girl.

She was still kemi, she didn't change like the others.

I prayed to God to help me so when i get to school i should still have faith and trust in him,  i don't want to change for the worse,  only the best.

I wanted to share my personal faith with kemi.

I stood up to get airtime, so i could log in on wattpad and whatsap  .

I plugged in my earpiece and tucked my phone into my jean pocket as i strolled out to get airtime.

As i got home, micheal called.
I was glad to hear from him, he did not forget that i wrote my jamb exam yesterday .

I bought data and logged in on my wattpad.

I checked my library and just looking at the books there got me excited, i wouldn't be bored anymore.
