It was Zabby’s convocation. Everyone was preparing to go to her school. I spoke with my mum on the phone the previous day and she told me she was coming which was surprising considering the situation between her and my dad. If there was another word for confusion, that was what my parents were; I […]

Some people are only close to you when they can get something from you. After that, they discard you like a dirty rag. I just saw that Tochi had posted this on his WhatsApp status.  He had been posting some funny things and I did not want to get ahead of myself, but I think

Elizabeth was my paternal cousin, the sister I never had. They were just two—she and her brother. I had thought about it many times that if her sibling was a sister would we be this close? I think we would. She was really close to her brother, who was also like my brother, but our

I heard my phone beep. I thought it must be Tochi and quickly picked up my phone. I was reading a novel and had left my phone to charge. I was actually bored but there was nothing to do. The semester was ending soon and I wrote my last paper yesterday. I just wanted to

“Hello, Mummy!”  “My girl! Been trying your number, it kept saying it’s busy.” “Yes yes, I was on the phone with a friend.” “Hmm, is this a friend I should know about?” No way. Zabby did not let me rest when she called, I couldn’t even let mummy know about Tochi. As soon as I
