HER

WOES

“Mabel” the voice rang again!!!! Oh good lord, not today!! Not like this!! Why I’m I so unlucky in life.

Hi Uncle Tolu , I responded as I turned back to face my Student teacher with shame, he was looking at me in a weird way , it was as if he was trying to analyze or maybe he was trying to understand why I looked the way I was, dirty and unkempt. He looked terribly confused but I guessed he didn’t want to say anything absurd without thinking about it so he just said “I came to see a colleague around this area, do your parents live around here ? I responded to him while staring down at my feet in shame and thanking God that it wasn’t who I actually was avoiding to see that I met, a win is a win.

“Take good care of yourself Mabel and I’ll see you at school tomorrow okay !? He said and walked away. I couldn’t utter a word, I just walked off in shame to quickly get what I was sent with my smelling dirty cleaning coat and get back home in time to face the rest of my woes and unknown afflictions.

I was hurriedly walking back home after the shame of different stares at the store when I felt a strong pull from behind, can today be more unlucky for me!???? Why me Lord!!! Why!!! I turned to see Vincent looking at me in a funny way, Let me just turn into a stone right now, No! Entering the ground will be more preferable, No! I think I need to disappear because this is absolutely the worst humiliation a young girl can go through, my crush seeing me in a dirty smelly coat!! Can life get any worse!!!!!

“Hi Mabel, been scouting for you, didn’t you even want to try and see me and you know we haven’t seen since the last time, I missed you!” I guessed he hasn’t seen me properly cox it was getting late and dark already. Then he came closer and I could see him scrunching his nose and trying to get a better look at me. “Mabel what’s wrong?? What’re you putting on ? Why do you smell this way? What happened to your face? Talk to me babe” Tears welled up in my eyes and it’s not because he was showing concern, that was actually the first time he’d call me babe, I was happy and I actually forgot the predicament I was in for a moment.

He pulled me into a dark corner and asked me what was wrong again, I couldn’t possibly tell this boy that my guardian said I stole from her which I didn’t, so I just came up with a random excuse that I did something wrong at home and I was punished and about the coat I was putting on, I told him

I didn’t wash my dirty clothes and it has piled up so as part of my punishment, Mama T said I should wear one of my dirty clothes.

That sounded way better than telling him the whole story, he came closer to me and unbuttoned the coat, I was stark naked underneath and I was staring at him with bated breath, did I forget to mention that Vincent is 18, actually most of them in my class are not of the same age as me but then I had my perfect body to make up for my lesser age.

He didn’t take off the coat, he just drew my head closer and started kissing me, I forgot about everything I was going through at home at that moment, kissing me and pressing my soft boobs at the same time. One thing Vincent knew and knew better not to do was try to touch me inappropriately down there, he knows I’m a virgin and I intend to stay that way till whenever! No matter how crush love stricken I was, I was not ready to go down that lane at that stage so he kept it appropriate.

But then the kiss, my Good Lord! It felt so good,

He sure knows how to kiss , at least to my own experience, pressing, squeezing and doing what nots to my boobs and kissing me was giving me a new sensation coupled with the pains I was feeling from the beatings I received earlier that evening, it felt so good and I didn’t feel like I was doing anything wrong , then I remembered I had to go and I just pushed him back. He was surprised and he asked me why I pushed him, i timidly told him I had to go home before it got too late so I won’t be punished, he said “alright if it’s that , guess I’d see you tomorrow night or maybe later” and he walked off first so people won’t start sensing anything if we walked out of there together, I got out later and started running home.

The rest of the night went well, seems Mama T knew I wore the dirty cleaning coat, I’m sure she was glad she humiliated me and was in a much better mood at that moment than to start another issue with me because I wore the coat instead of going naked as she wanted me to.

I spent the rest of the night thinking about my Kiss with Vincent , it was much different from the rest we’ve been having before. I felt a tingling sensation unlike anything I’ve ever felt and I certainly wanted to feel that way with him again ! I went to bed in a much lighter mood.

Got to school the next morning after successfully avoiding Mama T’s trouble all morning, or at least half successfully because I narrowly escaped being thrown her wooden turning stick because i was slow in handing her a bowl of water.

I saw Uncle Tolu and I made sure I avoided him so he wouldn’t have to talk to me or ask me questions, Luckily he was not in our lessons schedule for the day , I would have had a perfect school day but something really broke and shattered me and I just decided at that moment that all I could ever get from Life is pain, woes, shame and sadness. I don’t think I’d ever have a moment of peace or deserve happiness in my life!!!!!

I realized Vincent’s crew were looking at me in an amusing kind of way and Miwa and her clique were throwing me daggers with their eyes, what could have gone wrong ? My heart skipped a beat and I broke into a cold sweat immediately!! Could it be???? No it can’t even be!!!!! I played it cool and didn’t look towards them.

I could hear giggles and short laughs anytime I wanted to answer a question in class or made a movement, I just thought to myself about what might be the case that turned me to the spectacle of amusement to the people that barely notices me in class, could it be that Vincent told them he saw me in a dirty clothing almost naked ??? He couldn’t do that!!! I just knew he couldn’t, not after the affection and care he showed me last night.

It was time for a short break and I was feeling so uncomfortable in class and that’s because I didn’t know what was going on and I just had to go out to get some air, didn’t take long to see Miwa and her clique come outside , eyes darting everywhere frantically as if they were looking for something, or someone !?? I felt a shiver. They were coming towards me. Oh Lord!!! What again now!!?????
