They say my life is perfect-polished, pretty, untouched.
They have no idea.
My name is Olayinka Oluwapelumi. I'm 15. Yoruba. And my life didn't just fall apart-it exploded.
One minute I was living the dream in Lagos, the next, everything was gone. My family shattered. My world flipped. I was sent off to Abuja like a secret to be hidden, forced to start over with Grandma... far from the noise, far from the truth.
Now, three years later, I'm back. But I'm not the same girl.
I live in one of the richest estates on Lagos Island. My mum's built an empire from nothing. And I'm stepping into a school where money whispers, power shouts, and everyone hides something.
I thought I was here for a fresh start.
But it feels more like a battlefield-of love, betrayal, and secrets I'm not sure I'm ready to face.
This is not a fairytale comeback.
This is the story they tried to erase.
And I'm done staying silent.
My name is Pelumi, and this is the truth.
Dare to step into chaos?
A quiet girl with a missing father.
A school where nothing is what it seems.
And a generation that refuses to stay silent.
This is coming of age-wrapped in Nigerian Gen Z sass, buried secrets, and the raw struggle for truth and freedom.
