Millennium

Dazzle frazzle

Well hey there!

My Name is Nuel Agafie, and I'm about to tell you the greatest story never told. For the universe isn't as ordinary as we all believe it to be.

"Stars" As science explains it, are just heavenly gas burning bodies filled with enormous energy located in outer space.

But there's more to it than meets the eye. Stars( more like protostars) have lived on our planet for thousands of years without anyone noticing.

Well, the story's about to begin.

for there are certain individuals out there with gifts far beyond human imagination. Some are yet to even discover it.

I on the other hand was born with this gift, I didn't realize this until I had grown up and had gotten tired of life.

Nigeria was a country with a deficiency in the power sector.

You would hardly get enough power to do anything. There's always a break in transmission of power.

It was 11/02/2010 2:45pm when the lights came on and the Ben 10 series show was about to begin in the next 15mins!.

I had just got back from school and all that filled my head throughout the time I spent at school was the Ben 10 series scheduled for 3pm on cartoon network.

So finally I've arrived home and everything seemed to be going well. While I was enthusiastic about the fact that the lights came on immediately I got home, and the long anticipated show was about to begin, I sat down in my parlor with my school shorts still on, while the T-shirt was laying on the floor.

Nuel! My mom yelled.

I hurriedly ran to her room while grumbling on the way.

My mom has this nature of interrupting whenever something fun is about to happen. So the fact that she yelled my name means that she plans on ruining the show and I'm not gonna let that happen this time.

Yes mama!, I answered.

Have you had your bath?

Aren't u hungry?

Won't you eat?

She asked.

Knowing that if I don't promise her that I would do it, she wouldn't let me get back to my show, I then replied, I'm about to shower, was just checking something on the TV, but when m done, I'd get on it.

But it didn't work, instead she asked, what is it you want to check that can't wait?

You're just in junior secondary school 1 and you're already cultivating the habit of not showering immediately you get home.

[Nuel]:OK ma, it Won't happen next time, i'll change, I won't do it again and I promise.

She hummed...

I hurried back to the parlor,grabbed the TV remote

the decoder was having a smart card validation issue so I had to turn it off and power it on again. In an attempt to turn it back on I faced a temporary challenge. it didn't work, the TV screen remained dark, I pushed the power button again but nothing worked, suddenly I lifted my head up, and noticed decoder wasn't on, I checked the wall socket to know whether it was turned off but it wasn't. And then I sat back on the couch, looking up, asking myself "what kind of life is this?"

The lights had gone out, that's what had happened.

frustrated by what had just happened, I stood up,went into my room and started my paper art work.

I could mold cartoon characters using paper, this gave me much joy than going to school and seeing a bunch of spoiled brats feeling like they own the school just because their Folks were rich.

But come to think of it, I didn't get to watch what I longed for, meaning today turned out to be dazzle for me, and a huge frazzle to my expectations.

Well,I just couldn't sit back and act like a man who just lost his goods in a shipwreck, I had to go inside and do other necessary things.

All things were done, I had showered, eaten and failed to do my assignment, so all that was left was to go out and find something catchy to do.

I sat down in the veranda and then I saw Isaac carrying two buckets filled with water. Isaac is my next door neighbor and closest friend. We're like "Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows" in prison break. I was the brains, and he was the brawns. We go to separate schools though, But Isaac normally gets back from school before me.

So I always know I'll meet him whenever I return.

He's like a brother to me, he shields me from bullies around my area and it has gotten to a level that no kid messes with me because they know He's got my back.

Isaac on the other hand doesn't like it when I get picked on by others, he wants to be the only one kicking my ass and no one else but him should do it. No matter how hard I trained, I could never beat Isaac.

Every weekend My Elder brother would set a duel between us. The objective of this match is to put your opponent on the floor. And immediately the match starts, am already warming the floor with my back.

This was disheartening, but I knew that someday, I'd be strong enough to face him.

Due to my every loss, my siblings find pleasure in tormenting me, they keep sending me errands and whenever I grumble, they bring up the fact that I lose to Isaac.

Then they would say,

" it's only when it comes to my mouth that I have power, ordinary Isaac, you can't beat" And that annoys me, but also makes me determined to beat him.

Being bored and in need of wearing out the frustrated feeling in me, I called him

"Isaac!!"

He turned to my direction and said " My boy! How far!?" I walked towards him.

Anything sup today?(Did anything cool happen today?) Any new babe??.He asked

Nahhhh, I said swiftly, knowing that Even if there was I doubt I would say a word to her. The girls in my set are just ordinary, there's nothing special about them. I kinda wish I could skip Js1(junior secondary 1) and head straight for js2. There are more babes with asses big enough to solve world problems. And grabbing them would redeem my soul.

Hahahaha!, Nuel Nuel, my real G (Friend), you still have your eyes on the big guns. Well, just try not to get into trouble, you know I won't be there to defend ya.

Nahhhh, don't worry, I've got brains, I'll just apply scope, and besides I'm a pretty good liar "I smiled".

So where's your ball?, I asked.

Its inside, want us to play now? He asked.

Well, we have nothing to do shey (right)? I asked, in a frustrated tone.

So let's just play, maybe some guys might join us later while we play.

Oh, alright then, lemme go get it.

He brought the ball and we just kept tossing it around.

It was 5:25pm, and my dad would soon be back from work, I had forgotten about that.

My dad was one of the reasons I felt life was tiring for me.

He's very aggressive, he knocks s**t outta me every time he sees me playing games or doing something other than reading.

He had issues, weird anger issues that the source could never be traced.

But I on the other hand just felt my dad hated me.

Though My uncles tell me to get rid of that mindset, that he doesn't hate me, he's just upset at the fact that I bring bad results back home.

Well, I could agree with them,i mean, would any man be happy paying for a bad result ?

But I on the other hand, wasn't even bothered about them, I never liked school, well I don't think any kid liked school either, but our parents say its necessary so we just have to obey.

But now that I remember, there was a time I took first in all the subjects in primary 1, my Dad congratulated me for the first time and I got lots of gifts for Christmas that period. It still remains a mystery to me till now how i pulled that off, because I know I only opened my books once and that was a day to the commencement of exams.

But I passed right?, isn't that what matters?.
