Ajira

Chapter 4

She was not satisfied by the small mirror’s result, she moved closer towards the gigantic mirror at the corner of her room to observe herself closely, she added more cosmetic to her face and adjusted her Manchester united jersey moderately, she posed round the room in her joggers trouser and her black snickers, she looked exactly like a footballer. She had deeply fallen in love with soccer since she was in primary school. She always disturbed her Papa to let her enroll in a football academy but her papa didn’t give it a go. Her favorite football player is Cristiano Ronaldo, her phone is decorated with his pictures and soccer games. Her pose was interrupted by a door knock.

“Yes Ali, are we on to go?” asked Ajira.

“Before nko, we dey duro for you lataaro, oya oya do hurry make sun no shine on us” replied Ali.

“Sun? Shine on us? You can’t stop making me laugh, are we robb or ori that the sun would melt us? asked Ajira with her teeth opened.

“Anyfin cah hapun fah, sha hurry jare. Shay this pauda is not too mus bayii olomoge?” Ali asked jokingly

“See let’s go jor, uncle is waiting”

They both set out of the room, Ajira stopped at the sitting room to greet her sister in-law.

“Morning aunt” greeted Ajira half knelt

“Morning to you” Ajoke responded shably

“Alright ma, have a good day” said Ajira. Ajoke nodded in respond.

Ali inserted the ignition key and the car took off. It was a short ride from her house to the tutorial venue. Ajira alighted from the car and waved goodbye to her uncle and her comedian. She entered through the small gate and looked around and around to observe the atmosphere, she was dazzled by the structure of the coaching center buildings. The manner at which the center name was written set her mouth agape. She drew her body closer to the flowers and read aloud

“At a goal tutorial center” She sigh! “What a nice name!” She thought.

Many faces was fixed on her on her way to the administrative block for registration, she overlooked their faces and pose to the block with her bag on her back.

After the registration, she was led to her classroom by a skinny lady. She entered the classroom with her habitual pose, she saw an empty sit at the back and moved towards it to sit. As she sat, many heads turned to the back to look at her, although she is agoraphobic, she stabilized her face for them to look very well. She dived in her bag and took out her Government textbook to block their face from hers. After she had successfully done that, she noticed some legs moving towards her, at this point, she was unstable, she prayed in the silence of her heart for protection.

“Hi babe” Said a male voice.

“Hey girl” said another voice. She lowered her head and decided not to yield to their greetings.

“Is she dump” said another voice

“Let me give her a hard punch, I’m sure she would raise up her head.

“No no no guy, let’s wait” said another voice.

Ajira stood up wackily and started to move on to another sit, she was blocked by a dark guy in black, she was terrified by the look on his face, his face looked exactly like the god of thunder.

“Just let me be please” pleaded Ajira.

“Wow! What a cool voice” said a voice.

“Let her be guys” said another voice.

Ajira looked towards her left to check the voice possessor, she was amazingly glad by who she saw.
