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 just had a shower. I picked up my phone and saw Tochi’s message. You must be home now. How was your trip? I wanted to reply to him but I dropped the phone instead. He had this off-and-on attitude that I really did not understand. It was also very subtle and inexplicable. Sometimes, he

I was on the bus to Enugu. I had yet to decide on where I would stay. My parents still stayed together, then there was my mum’s apartment that she hadn’t moved into. I would love to stay with my parents, but after staying with them during the last holiday, I learnt my lesson. They

“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

I disliked this course. Would have said I hate it but hate is a strong word. We just started it this semester and we would be taking it in the second semester as well. We had not even started and I was already tired. I nudged my friend, Desire dozing off beside me. “Ahnahn, Angela.”

I dropped my phone on the bed, contemplating calling my parents, but I had postponed it for about two days and even ignored my father’s message.  My parents were in the middle of a divorce and it’d been messy. They had been married for about sixteen years when my mum found out that my father
