HER

IT IS WHAT IT IS

Well, I guess my thoughts were on point! Yea it’s exactly what I thought of that actually happened!!

Say Hello to the Slut of the School as I was termed.

Yea , you guessed right! It was so messy, I had to hold back my tears because my only place of solace has now become a place I don’t look forward to going again because of shame! Going to school now has become an everyday nightmare after the occurrence. And this is how it happened, Miwa and her gang came to meet me to confront me about trying to seduce Miwa’s boyfriend which is Vincent, it was kind of hilarious when I heard the word seduce because who was seducing who in that situation, it was so messy that they threatened to beat me up after school hours, well it turned out Vincent told his Friends and his girlfriend I tried to seduce him when I met him on the street the day before.

It sounded incredibly stupid because I just thought how easy it was for them to believe I just suddenly met him and tried to seduce him, just like that ? Let me go into details, turned out (according to him when he later tried to apologize) someone from class (anonymous or whatever) saw us both going into that dark corner together and left one after the other and the person which I’m guessing is one of Vincent’s friends asked him what was going on, then he told the person that I pulled him into a corner to tell him I had a crush on him and I tried to seduce him by showing him my naked body!! Like how does that even make any sense!! So to make sure the issue didn’t escalate and cause issues between him and Miwa, he decided to tell her and his friends , hence the drama that ensued at school and me being labeled the school slut. I didn’t even bother or try defending myself, the whole class knew already and the whole senior block has heard of it!

I guess it made Vincent became more popular among the female folk and it boosted his ego since I was trying to seduce him as stupid and funny as that sounds but then it is what it is, I had to deal with the shame.

He saw me later and tried to apologize by telling me he was left with no choice (which I knew he was lying about) but then I just dismissed him! My mind was made up, I didn’t see him in the same light anymore. I was just done , not like there was anything to hold on to before anyways. Well I was in for it big time because the issue got to Uncle Tolu’s ear and that was the worst blow I could have been dealt. He asked to see me later on maybe like a week after that incident, I already found it hard to walk around school and I made sure I avoided Vincent and his gang of fools like a plague, he never tried to talk to me again and not like I mind, after what he did he was like dirt to me.

Well I went to see Uncle Tolu and he was like there’s a special lesson session for students having difficulties with a particular subject at his place and 5 other classmates of mine were coming too, I’m a student and since he said others were coming and it didn’t really mean nothing since I had issues with that particular subject too, I consented and told him I’d attend too when it was time . But the issue I had was how to convince or at least pray that Mama T wasn’t home whenever it was time for the lessons.

I’m still facing my problems at home, sometimes I tend to wonder if there was something my mom had done to offend Mama T at a point in time which was the reason why she has always been maltreating me but I just end up confused. My dad has never called to check up on me, my mom still says hi once in a blue moon! Not enough time to tell her all the pains I’m going through here! There’s nothing I did that was perfect or okay to Mama T, I get beat up for the slightest things. I remember one time when she accused me of stealing one of her underwear , she said I was a witch and I took it so I could harm her! It was such an incredulous accusation! She beat me to a pulp with the long wooden broom stick, all my body was swollen up , my head , I couldn’t move my arms, couldn’t lay down well in bed! I cried and cried but no one could come to my rescue! They could all just hear my screams but what could they do ??? The more she asked about where the underwear was , the more she beat me. I didn’t even know the particular underwear she was talking about.

That and lots more is what I faced at Mama T’s place but I had no choice than to stay and endure , at least I’d be able to get an education, that’s the only good thing she’s doing for me, she barely buys me clothes or gifts , I really didn’t know why she hated me so much.

One incident happened that was part of what scarred me physically and mentally throughout my life. Uncle Emma came home to spend some time with Mama T, he barely comes around so I really didn’t know the kind of man he was or barely recognized him! Mama T was up and about the day he was scheduled to come around, she cooked , I cleaned and everything was set. He was finally here and God!! I have to admit I didn’t know something good could come out of Mama T with how vile and wicked she is towards me . This man is fineeeeee, I even thought he was someone older, only to know he’s just in his late twenties and had an early education hence why he was done and secured a job so quickly, seems I’ve developed a crush yet again but then this is war zone, he’s Mama T’s son! An apple doesn’t fall far from it’s tree and yea I wasn’t disappointed! He was way worse and I hated him. It started when he saw how his mother treats me but never said anything to stop or caution his mother but I didn’t really take note then! One fateful night was when it all went down, there was a church program and for reasons unknown Mama T agreed to me not going with her when I complained of an headache! She decided to go to the vigil alone and I was left alone with Emma. I was not really feeling like myself, I was weak and the headache was killing me, so after Mama T left I just went to bed to relax. I felt a hand touching me and I jolted up immediately, only for me to see Emma next to me in bed, I almost screamed and he got up as well! He said he wanted to wake me up so I could help him with his Jean zip that was hooked, that he’s been trying unhook it but he couldn’t that’s why he came to wake me.

I knew he was lying but I couldn’t complain , so he told me to kneel in front of him so it would be easier for me to see how to unhook the zip, I knelt in front of him and was trying to see where the zip hooked when he suddenly pushed my head closer……
