Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

Frank was staring wickedly at us. I opened my mouth but no words came out from them. Ebuka too wasn’t left out in the shock but after some seconds,he braced up;

Ebuka: My guy,how far nau?
They both shook hands but Frank wouldn’t take his eyes off me.

Frank: So its because you’re with him that’s why you’ve refused to pick my call or answer the gate.

WTF! In my short time of bliss,I hadn’t even remembered I owned a phone.

Me: Sorry my phone is upstairs. We were at the backyard.

Frank: Backyard indeed. And it took you ages to open the gate despite my heavy banging. Are you not ashamed of yourself? You didn’t even try to check if it could be your family member or not. Your shamelessness is irritating. Yuck! Rose,you now disgust me.
I bent my head in shame as no word agreed to come out.

Ebuka: My guy easy nau. She dey owe you?

Frank: Which kain question be that? Because you don bleep for free nah? But I’ve got a surprise for you Rose

I looked up as he reached into his trouser back pocket. He pulled out a fabric that was blue in colour. A second look at it had me crying that instant. Ebuka stared from the fabric to me.

Frank: I just hope you also didn’t leave one with him.

He threw my own pant on me and looked at me with the most irritating look I’ve ever seen.

Ebuka: I don’t really understand what’s going on here. Rose,you screw Frank as well?

All I could do was pick my pant and fly back into the house. I knew someone was following me but at that point,I cared less. I entered the sitting room and cried my eyes out before he spoke.

Ebuka: What have you turned into? What’s happening to you?

I looked at him and broke down instantly. He sat down and fixed his gaze on me.

Ebuka; Is that how people change? You were a sweet innocent girl before I left. What happened to you Rose? All the stories about you and Raymond,are those false stories or you’re just faking a relationship to cover up your slutty side?

I could only shake my head.

Ebuka: Speak to me and stop shedding those crocodile tears. You open up to every J0yst!ck and Harry you know and you’re here crying. You even leave your pants with them? Rose you no do well o.

He stood up and walked up to me. He held my head and I thought that finally,I was going to get some consolation but how wrong was I?

Ebuka: I’m sorry that I called your tears fake and sorry for calling you names. You deserve to cry. You really need to cry for your shameless self. How old are you and you’re already this wild? By next year,you’ll be so loose that no man will ever enjoy a moment with you. Cry Rose because you deserve all the insults you’re getting at the moment.

He forcefully left my head and walked out of the sitting room. I heard the gate bang and I knew he was out.

Tears dried up from my face as his words rang bells in my head. That was it. Enough of trying to be friends with anyone who has ever asked me out. Enough of trying to accept their apologies only to end up being used. Enough of trying to please anyone. Enough of everything already.

It’s just going to be me,me,me,me,me and Raymond.

I had to take that decision and I took it without batting an eyelid.

I stood up and went and locked my gate. Away from Frank,away from Ebuka,away from Vivian,away from my past and away from Ist September 2011.
