Adanna 🪐
"You know Ada I don't see the zaneed why there should be A's and b's in Math,for god sake what do they need the letters for, I wish we could choose all subjects, god knows that there is no way math is going to be included in my list"
Lola lamenting in whispers
" Mr Victor is staring at you Lola keep quiet"
"mR vIcTOr iS stArIng aT yOU KeEp QuiEt"😒
Just because you're smart doesn't mean that everyone would make sense out of this gibberish they scribble on the board"
"Did you even go to junior high school? This isn't that hard you just need to calc....."
"Ada I am done for, no amount of explanations will make me get this shit" Lola said and placed her hand on her head dramatically
"Being an actress go fit you Lola"
"You're so dramatic"
I replied
"Awwn thanks for the compliment, by the way Ada who taught you how to speak pidgin English, I thought you never liked it"
"Well thanks to your constant speaking of pidgin English I've picked up a few words, it's actually cool"
"You know every single language in Nigeria but pidgin English is hard for you to learn,Wonderful"
"I just never liked it, it sounds unruly and agbero's (Street Touts) likes to speak it and you know how much I hate agbero's, oh god Lola do you remember that agbero that sat beside me on the bus..
"Ada"
"...Bus last week and because he's taller than me my shoulder was under...
"Ada"
"...His arm pit my uniform now soaked his sweat and his armpit wasn't even shaved..
"Ada"!!
"What!
"Your eyes"
"What's wrong with my eyes"
"They are purple"
"Purple? How is that even... They've never turned purple before"
Lola took a mirror from her desk and pointed to my face
What I saw was terrifyingly beautiful
Terrifying because my eyes were purple and they've never been purple and secondly there seemed to be an face of child in my eyes
Beautiful because the child was beautiful and looked exactly like what my baby picture looked like, the baby looked like the baby I see in my dreams, the baby looked like me but seemed different
I immediately became sweaty and my heart was seriously beating
Lola saw how I was behaving and grabbed my hand
"Excuse me sir"
Lola called the teacher
"What is it"
Mr Victor replied
"Sir we need to go to the toilet "I said while closing my eyes with my hand
"What for"!
"Well... Ummm, I need to....
"Girl problems!
Lola shouted
"My class is almost over can't it wait"?
"Do you want blood all over this class?
"Oh... Okay you both can go"
Lola dragged me out to an empty class
"What's wrong.. why did your eyes do that"
I was worried she may have seen the image I saw so I asked her
"What did you see"
"Yo, bitch your pupil was fucking purple, oh my gawd I almost died of shock, that was so cool!!
"Cool? I ..... I thought you'd be scared or something"
"Are you kidding me, scared for fucking what, ouuuuuu I have a cool best friendddddd!!!!
This is the happiest day of my lifeee"!!
"Lola please keep it down okay this particular purple thing should be between us"
"Why, the whole school already the knows your eyes changed colour, so what's the big deal"
"The big deal is that no one in the fucking world has a purple eye ball okay, no one, people have blue, golden, grey brown and shit and not purple and plus I don't want more negative attention"
"My age, my looks my brain is already a reason to talk about I don't want that anymore, and you know if Ina gets to hear this she and her mini skirt friends will carry shitty news around so please, don't tell anyone"
"Okay?
" Fine I won't tell anyone"
"Swear to me "
"I can't swear it's against the bible to swear"
"Are you kidding me, since when did you start caring about what the Bible says, you didn't care what the Bible says when you allowed that boy to touch you in the...
"Fine!!!!, Just shut up, I won't tell anyone, I swear"
"You owe me tho"
"Lola what do I owe you"
"You need to tell me why stuff like this happens to you"
I mean why are you 13 but look 18
And all that weird shit that happens"
"Lola if I knew what is wrong with me I would tell you
I wish I am normal like you"
"Ada, me, Normal? With this light skin patches on my body, I'm not normal, people sneer or laugh or giggle when they see me and it's hurts, if this is normal then I don't want it"
"Adanna we both aren't normal we aren't the usual every day people and that's what I noticed when I saw you"
"Ada I can never forget the smile you have me that day I first walled into class you're one of the few people I've met that has given me that smile, that genuine smile, other smile at me cause they pity me, some smile to cover their disgust, others smile to cover their laughs but your smile was different and that's why I've stuck with you all these while"
No words has ever made me feel special, the last person to make me feel special like Lola just did was Aroma my foster mom
I hugged Lola and cried on her shoulder and for the first time in my life I had a true friend that lives me for me
Most of the friends I had only liked me because I was popular,they just want be friends with the girl with blue eyes
Lola made me feel special after such a long time
"Don't ever leave me"
"I won't leave you Lola"
"Promise"?
"I promise"
