My name is Jerusha. It means
"possession" in Hebrew and I know exactly whose possession I am---Yahweh's, and, of course, my famous Daddy's, Archbishop Powell. But someday, I'll belong to someone else. My husband. I don't know him yet but that guy must be no less than my Daddy in riches....and all. The nominations are still open, though.
The whole Christian world watches me. My holier-than-thou siblings expect me to follow their perfect paths. Soft. Kind. Rule-following. That's not me. I can't live like they do. Nay. Not yet. What's life about? Living and enjoying!
You know, I'm supposed to forgive, supposed to have a big heart... but there are two things I can't forgive. No, scratch that-two people. Raymond and Sienna. They set me up and got me into a big trouble!
I've got backup. Skylar, the politician's daughter, and Justine, the business mogul's kid. My amazingly crazy besties, my ride-or-dies. Together, we've got a mission. Just hoping we stay strong and that Yahweh doesn't show up.
You know what they say: many are the plans in a man's heart but...

I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft.

COLD (a nigerian story)
"Nevaeh you need to understand that life ain't a bed of roses. It has it's ups and downs but that doesn't mean you should blame God for that! Once in a while you lose people you love. It's not because God hates you or because he doesn't exists. It's because that's what is meant to happen." He said dropping his fanta. "God exists. And that's why you and I are still living" he finished. I frowned at him not wanting to press the issue further. He held my gaze, his eyes not leaving mine. I looked down at my plate trying to avoid his bold stare. "This sucks" I muttered. Daniel and Yimika are practically the same in this God thingy. How the heck did I get myself tangled with them?! ############## Have you ever come across someone with so much drama in their life? If you haven't... Meet Yemisi Nevaeh Simon, A fifteen years old Nigerian who has spent fourteen years of her life living in America but comes down to Nigeria with her family. Daughter of a well respected Godly Billioniare. Loves to express herself, cold hearted, mean, self centered, selfish and lots more. Used to be a Christian but things changed when her twin died in a 'gun shot' right behind her. She doesn't give up yet in searching for her twin because of the mysteries that keep unfolding. She meets Yimika Owolabi, the complete opposite of her, but like the saying, opposite attracts, they became best friends. She also meets Daniel, but after a loong time...they finally get along. What then happens when Tony comes? Because in my point of view, they are like birds of the same feathers so why didn't they want to flock together at the beginning? Fights for justice, Fights for love, Fights for right. There is a little plot twist though. Maybe or maybe not........... NO CUSSING, SWEARING OR MATURE CONTENTS.

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.
