Pelumi Stories

About a best friend

Music and A Controversial Magazine.

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.
