Eyes Wide Shut

…..So I went home for the vacation with my friend, Beauty staying at my home for the next two weeks. I finally confided in her what had happened to me and she sympathized with me that the next time will be better and kept beaming at me saying:
“You’re now a woman”
I had a pressing worry: I hadn’t seen my period and I prayed as I never did to God to deliver me from this mess which finally he did by answering my prayers, my period came. I was so happy.
School resumed, I went back and the first person I couldn’t wait to see was Bobi, I went to see him and when he saw me coming, he shouted saying:
“Orobo! See how you’ve gone and added weight, what is wrong with you? Why can’t you control your eating?”
A neighbour of his, a chic had to say: “Haba Bobi, take it easy now. Allow her get here first.”
Anyway we spent time together and in between, I told him about the delay in my period and he just said it’s cause I hadn’t done it before so my body was getting used to the change, well whatever that meant although that didn’t sound all that plausible to me.
My trying to appease him, working on making a success out of the relationship continued well into the semester with him giving me days I could see him and days I shouldn’t. If I went contrary to that, he got nasty with me. Times were when during my ‘off’ days venture to see him, he had other girls who to me, I just felt were friends insist they were going to stay in his room ‘cause they were ‘scared’ of sleeping alone in their room or was it when he started asking another girl out? There was this day he said I had to capture my man and I was too timid that when I come in and see girls in his room or him playing with chics way too improper that I just sit there. My heart got broken everyday.
He told me he didn’t like fair chics that he likes them as black as ebony and it so happens I’m so fair, I then started hating my complexion. He said he didn’t like fat of chubby chics, boy did I start jogging! I even became the jogging captain. I joined all sorts of sports group, well it paid off ‘cause I became a slim shady and that still, wasn’t enough for him I tell you.
He loved wild girls with crazy dressing, see me dressing crazily and he started complaining! I even started smoking and drinking, It was such a crazy time for me. Bottom line, I did have an inferiority complex. I stopped the smoking and drinking ‘cause that just wasn’t me at all.
Funny thing was all his friends came to love me and become genuine friends to me. So most times, I got to know about his escapades and his whereabouts through them. They even started telling me to stop having anything with him but of course I didn’t listen, I was following my heart. A lot of them stopped speaking to me ,which didn’t bother me that much cause I felt I was in love and they were just ‘jealous’ of him.
In those times, when It got too much for me to handle, I always appealed to my friend Beauty to intervene on my behalf for me. Now, I really must give you a little history about this close friend of mine called Beauty.
