A Nigerian themed book  {UNEDITED}

"Drop the act already, Angel needs to know the truth, you're far worse than I am, hypocrite." Amara spat.

"Go ahead tell her, I dare you. Why are you mute? Tell her and see if daddy won't cane you- I'll rather take my sister's side" Ngozi said, in a more relaxed tone.

The air in the room suddenly grew thick, my chest tightened, did I just hear her say SISTER!! Was she referring to me. My head began to spin.

"Half sister" Amara corrected.

The transition from childhood to adolescence is not an easy one, and it wasn't any different for me. 

My birth was a mistake, I'm simply an output of the actions made by two individuals. How do I learn to live in a world I wasn't fully prepared for? And also overcome difficult phases of my life as a teenage girl living in Lagos Nigeria without a manual. My name is Angel, and this is my story.

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

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

But right now your thinking I'm just some whore that doesn't know how to properly love your son the way you love him." "Mother, what does she mean by your still thinking?"

I didn't know her personally since I haven't been around for a long time but something was definitely wrong with the current Luna. "I'm sorry son but I just can't come to terms with what has happened. I need a bit of time to process." "Does 90 minutes cover the time you need dear?" the alpha said.

Finding Yasmine by thatyorubagyal

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

Skyline Academy: book one {editing} by Mife17

My words vanished the moment I locked gazes with the girl in question. I looked down at the book in my hand. Fenix Alade was written boldy on the front page. My eyes travelled back to the girl again, with confusion. "Delight?" I gulped and Fenix's textbook fell out of my grasp. ~•~ "This isn't funny Evan! Do you know how much it hurts me to see you with another girl? Do you think I haven't tried to get you out of my head? I don't even understand anymore" "Fenix? You like me?" "Yes baby! I love you!" I stretched my arms out for a hug, but Evan stupidly stepped backwards, evading my embrace. "Evan? I don't understand. I love you,I want you to be my boyfriend. Is that too hard for you?" "No" he replied quickly without a thought. ~•~ "You didn't have to write me a letter" Sky said, making confusion cloud my countenance. "What?" "You wrote me a letter, Mima. You don't have to deny it" Sky pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. "I didn't write any letter to you Sky" "That's not even my writing, Sky. It's probably a set up" "Who would want to set you up?" He asked, starting at me strangely. ~•~ "Who's the thing? You couldn't even maintain Gabby" she scoffed at me, trailing a finger down Gabriel's chest. "You're right. I don't maintain trash" "Dorothy! Watch it!" The random girl shouted at me. In the blink of an eye, Anita launched herself at me. Tah!! I felt a terrible tingling sensation on my right cheek. ~•Grab your popcorns and join the drama🍿•~ ~•Story Rankings•~ #5 in teenage life out of 1.24k books #8 in highschool drama out of 1.62k books # 2 in schooling out of 155 books #1 in best friendship out of 23 books #211 in 9ja out of 230 books #723 in bullying out of 62.9k #42 in rich kids out of 2.14k
