Cindy Whiteman is not your normal mixed race teenage girl.
Born and raised in New York, at age 16 she was dragged to South Africa by her father so she can learn about her "African Roots".
Instead of meeting lions on your way to school and riding elaphants on the safari, she finds that South Africa is not what she expected.
Crazy aunts and hidden family secrets never crossed her mind when she entered that plane.

If nautical nonsense be something you wish..."
"SpongeBob Square Pants" Kyle came down the wooden stairs and saw the crowd that has now gathered around me.
"Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish"
"SpongeBob Square Pants!"
"Ready?" My feet were stomping the table and Kyle was trying to get through the small crowd. He was standing on the front and he was trying to pull my leg. I stomped on his hand and continued with my act.
I will not let the devil ruin my night.
"SpongeBob Square Pants! SpongeBob Square Pants! SpongeBob....SquarePants"
Everyone started cheering and clapping for me. I bowed down and when I rose back up, my head started spinning. The voices around me were getting smaller and the last thing I saw was Kyle's face.
Just like that...I fell down on the floor surrounded by my own vomit.

Join Cindy on her journey of learning about all the wonders of living on THE OTHER SIDE.

*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.Complete
Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete

Highest rank: 265 28/1/17 ______ When Jeremy walked into his new school, his eyes and Casey never left each other. But the thing is, they keep telling themselves that it wasn't meant to be. *********** "Lets see about that!" I stomped away, with hatred about to play out. I can't believe I liked him. He's so full of himself that he can't possibly see what's right there. If this is who he really was, then I can't be apart of that.

4- A Warning For You
Part of the Past Live's category of my works. This is a true story of how a 12 year old girl was attacked by what modern cultures tolerate. People unknowingly glorify s3x, k!lling, su!icide, drama, negativity, and so on. Inspired by David Goggin's Can't Hurt Me Book. "Judge it man, judge it." People do not see that children within the last 3 generations are turning into zombies and are exposed to all sorts of garbage that destroys them. Terrible actors have allowed pedoph!les to be seen as normal- no one questions them when they enter a bathroom not for them or when they demand from entitlment to have the opportunity to attack a child- especially online. Children, young teens, young adults, and parents this is for you. If you've been hurt or want to see another window into a small section of the carnivorous evil that's broken into your home. Here's you a real maddening story of how this girl's mind became p3rverted with wild fantasies and developed f3tishes and believed she was a transgender boy, trapped in a female's body. Will you allow your children to build themselves In life upon lies? Will you scour through social media to see what truly is hunting your family and their sanity? This is Not another #MeToo story, as the main character of this Refuses to be a victim and instead turns her chains into a workout to become stronger. Following Christ's lead to bear life, its suffering, its responsibilities, and other's burdens, by picking up her cross and walking with the guidance of his footsteps. Thanks be to God for his glory and mercy. And yes I made this cover myself 😎Complete
Living the Life of Zoë
Zoë Block is your average eighteen year old girl. But she's a bit different...She's not the type to go screaming to the mall on seeing a flashy discount, or the kind to paint her nails a colour to match her outfit. Nope, she's the kind that would get her knees scraped and still not utter a word (maybe a swear one), the kind who would jam on her guitar for hours at end just to avoid homework and the kind who would love a biiig tuna-fish sub, with mustard, double cheese and a whole lot of mint mayo... BUT, what will she do when she finds herself falling in love with her cousin? (well, he's adopted, so he doesn't count as a cousin, right?) Will she turn into the typical girly-girl who pines over boys? Or will she remain true to her badass profile? To find out..."Welcome to the life of Zoë Block." :) Author's Note: My username was changed from 'JackHarriesIsMine' to 'diagonAlley' due to certain reasons. Please bear with me. (The cover picture for this story will contain the previous username only.)Complete
𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬
After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it?
