***************************
"You know... we're very much alike." She said, staring deep into my eyes.

"I am nothing like you!" I shot back.

She backed up, then let out a dry laugh.

"You pretend to be bold, but deep down, you're scared. " She chuckled. "I can see through your facade. I know your scheme....Perfectionism. What a way to tackle your fears."

"You don't know anything about me!"

"You know i'ts true. Think about it." She said , wearing a wry smile.

"I'm not pretending to be anything. Stop acting like you know me and leave me alone!" I screamed and walked away, as fast as my legs could carry me.

She was right.

I hated that she was right.

***********************************

Jasmine Okafor, who was also referred to as the star girl of Emerald high School, had everything an average Nigerian teenager girl could wish for. Was it beauty?, or brains?, fame, wealth, a hot boyfriend? Just name it, she had it. 

On the outside, she was a total package. 

Living the dream life.

Perfect?

Not so much...

Everyone has insecurities, and so does Jasmine.

Loads of them, in fact.

What happens when these insecurities begin to pop out of their shells? Imperfections glaring right in her face, her 'star girl' title wavering, going down in the social hierarchy. 

Her so perfect life didn't seem perfect anymore, frenemies become emboldened to show their true colors, getting swallowed in the standards and principles she set. She gets a real taste of what it feels like to be ordinary.

She thought she could hide or run away from the truth. But what will she do when she comes face to face with them and has to deal with them?

Would she let herself be swallowed by her insecurities, or overcome them?

Join her as she journeys through her last year in emerald High school, filled with love, betrayal, self discovery, acceptance and as expected, loads of drama.

$The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED} by Dami_A_Johnson$

The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André Gide

A NIGERIAN THEMED NOVEL "You have got your tities out and panties in a twist but your crush doesn't still notice you." Ore is a sixteen-year-old undergraduate of the university of Portharcourt. Before she entered year one, she was that shy, reclusive and sweet girl everyone wanted to be friends with. But as soon as she pays her acceptance fee and moves her things to the school hostel, Ore is no longer that miss goody two shoes. Dami is a third year student of the same university and he doesn't give two fucks about under age girls. They were never a center of attraction for him. Infact, he loathes them with passion. Dami is absolutely content with his sexually provocative lifestyle and he certainly doesn't need any of the problems that comes along with knowing Ore. With the wrong crowd cheering Ore on, will she be able to get Dami's attention? Or will her life keep on revolving in circles of endless passion and peer pressure. Side note: The sequel to this book titled Lies, Love and Deception is out now and is on my profile. Kindly go view, thanks ❤️ *. * . * The Wrong Crowd is one of the best Nigerian books I've ever read. It's totally uncliche and cliche in a hazy interesting way but then, it was just the tip of the iceberg - @Semiloore_ Started: 10/3/20 Ended: 25/5/20

Against All Odds by michelle18uzoma

"What is your name? " he enquired with a staid expression. Obi's eyes roamed around still trying to ascertain the safety of their current surrounding. Her lips were still quivering out of shock and her breathing distorted. "Obiukwu" She finally let out still battling with unsteady breathing. He adjusted the cuff of his pristine white shirt and helped her up. "For a girl with a boy's name you certainly do not think like one. Usually when a female dog comes after you, you don't run towards her young puppies, you run far away from them". She adjusted her pleated skirts which had been torn while she ran frantically from the enraged beast. This boy's words were rather insulting but she swallowed any form of insult that would have ensued especially from his reminder of the stereotype that had been carved out from her name . A simple act of gratitude, for he had been her savior. Was he not a dunce for thinking that way?. She knew a lot of moronic boys and her cousin Chukwudi was the ideal example. The dog had run at the sound of his command. She walked away from him slowly hoping to see Sandra somewhere close. "Hey! You owe me a thank you and something else". She ignored him and kept walking.She hated dogs and arrogant rich boys! "My name is Obiefune!" Obiukwu stopped for a brief moment and yelled back at him "thank you! ". Obiukwu, a young selfless girl is forced to choose between love and duty when life hurls misfortunes at her. Does she end up with her first love Obiefune even when the odds are against them?

Diary of an average Nigerian Teenager by Bosslady005

"OMG!!,have you seen Femi today, he's so hot and dreamyy", Sophia says excitedly. " Oh come on, I don't know why you guys are all over him, give him a break, he just arrived for God's sake", I say facepalming myself. " You should go over and greet him you know ", " And why would I do that", I say eyeing her weirdly. " Oh, come on, you guys used to be best of friends you know ", " Yeah, that was before and it's been a long time he probably doesn't even remember me you know" " Well, there's only one way to find out, come on ", she says shoving me into his direction, our action is cut short when we see none other that the " Oluwadarasimi" jumping onto Femi to give him a bone crushing hug making Femi laugh out loud in his masculine voice before she gives him a quick peck. I turn to look at Sophia, okay WTF just happened!!! Jadesola Aderibigbe is a typical ambivert, she has set her secondary school goal, to pass her waec in flying colors, come out top of her class, avoid any bad drama,most especially boy drama!!!. Those goals may have to hit a compromise when her childhood friend and crush Femi moves back to his old town and in her school halfway of school session. Secrets will be spilled, emotions will be felt and maybe with a little bit of boy drama after all. Started October 22,2033

Just A Dare [Editing] by chocodropss

Published on the 12th of November, 2018. What the fuck! Can't you watch where you're going?? You almost injured me!" I said dusting my skirt and trying to get up with the help of the wall of course. " I'm so sorry. My bad" a deep voice told me. I quickly looked up and well he was too tall. I'm like the average height girl. I'm just 5"5. He's more like 5"11 or 6ft. I'm not sure. He was not too dark neither was he fair. He had this look on his face, I wasn't sure if he was smiling or frowning. It was confusing. His lips were redish and looked quite kissable. Idiot! Snap out of it jor My name is Oluchi. It was just a dare. Or so I thought. Follow Oluchi on a journey filled with love, trust, betrayal, lies. What will happen when the dare she thought was so little could end up being so destructive.
