Adiya Amir - Episode 1

 

Adiya

My life had changed drastically from being a happy girl, bubble girl to sad, broken orphan girl.

I was given scholarship from the state because I did extraordinary in my BECE examination, I got A+ in all my subjects.

I was given admission into the number one school in Nigeria;"The Royals School -where only rich attends.

My luck!

I was moving from my hometown kwara to another state Lagos ,where the school was located.

I sat at the back seat of the danfo beside the window side. I plugged my head out, feeling the Lagos cool breeze on the third miland bridge .

Mo wa leko !!!

Lagos was a state of excellent according to the slogan, the sole income of Nigeria, the second most populated country in Nigeria . The former capital of Nigeria before it was moved to Abuja .

I couldn't believe it that I was in Lagos, if my parents were alive, I would'vewould've..

The danfo halted at IkoyiIkoyi. I  got down from it with my backpack hung at my back like my life depended on it.

I walked through the pedestrian bridge, I couldn't cross the express way because it's too dangerous for me and the wheels were moving too fast. I reached the other side and broad Maruwa to the school vicinity

. I showed the driver the slip which has the address in it.

"Your moni be two-hundrend naira" the man said, I nodded my head and slumped on the seat.

Some minutes past, we arrived at the school. The school was very big and beautiful. The school was screaming money .

I walked to the gate and rung the bell. The gate was opened widely for me to entered. I took a peeked inside before I entered. I was stopped by the security man.

"Hey hajia phere you dey go" the man asked, I noticed the Hausa accent in is voice .

"Mallam kai, me new here, I wan start school for here" I replied while trying to mimic his accent.

I showed him my slip, he collected it and looked at me before he went to the tel com to inform the head security. He returned my slip and motioned me to taxi. Before I could leave, he gave me map that would helped me around this gigantic school.

I entered the hallway, saw bunch of students talking, chatting, I opened the door wider, the noise, chat, stopped. If a pin was dropped it would resonate.

The students were looking at me from head to toe accessing me and judging my attire. I felt self conscious .

How would I fit in this school ,the students started whispering, some of the whispered I could hear it.

Onidoti

Eranko

Pauper

Look at her 

Is she the new cleaner?

What's this garbage bin doing here?

I walked forward nervously reaching the secretary desk ,I submitted my acceptance slip to her .

She looked at me with disgust "this is your schedule, your locker is at the end of the class" she handed me. "And make sure you don't cause any trouble or else you are gone and there's slight possibility you will be admitted into another school in Nigeria" she said harshly, I nodded and squirmed under her hard eyes.

I was still searching around for my locker when I was stopped by a hand. I raised my head to look at the intruder, the boy in front of me was a hot specimen. His aura screamed dangerous stay away from, his tailored suit screamed money .

Omo babaolowo 

His tall frame was towering over my 5'2 ft, he held my chin gently making me look at him in eyes. He lowered his head to my level,I could smell his expensive cologne with fresh mint breath.

"What's your name oyin" he asked in his deep masculine velvety voice .

"ERM ... I ..am Adiya Amir" I stuttered.

"Oh, what a beautiful name, it suit you" he complimented me.

"Thanks" I replied meekly.

He looked at me with emotions I couldn't decipher, like love, care, dore, delicate.

I shook my head, I must be dreaming.

I love you" he said, looking me in eyes, he looked nervous.

I stared at him dumbfounded, "what did he mean?".

I adjusted my hijab, gulped nervously and glanced at his handsome face.

Audhubillahi!!! 

Dee stop!

I took a breath, I licked my lips while rubbing my hands together.

"I'm very sorrysorry, I can't retaliate your love" I said meekly, trying to get away from him.

His nervous expression changed to surprise, hurt, sad, angry .

He hits his fist on the wall, the sound resonated round the hallway.

"How dare you filthy lowly-girl rejected me" he seethed out, breathing heavily still hitting his fist on the wall.

I was scared .

"Do you know who I am?" He growled while pointing to himself.

He walked closer to me, in a predatory way, "I will make you regret it, I will make you regret your first day in this state and school. I will make this school a living hell for you, you'll wish for death but it will never come" he yelled with determination, and dark promises lingering in air and walked away.

"And gurly, I always get what I want" he voice and shadow faded away.

What have I gotten myself to Ya Allah?
