Prologue

Chinonye is leaving Lagos. She's about to being a journey in a new Continent. The country she grew up in, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a sovereign country located in West Africa. After finishing her studies in a reputable all girls catholic secondary school. She was supposed to start college in Orlando, Florida by September, but unfortunately for her colleges in the United States don't accept students below the age of 18. She's to start at new school, not a college like her old friends will be going to, but high school. While in Nigeria it's called secondary school, from her basic knowledge from movies it's called High School in the United States.

Chinonye isn't animated about her move, in fact she's beyond devastated. Her boyfriend, her friends, and right after graduation. She's beginning to wonder why her mom accepted that job. Her older brother couldn't move with them, he's already in the University, neither could her dad as his job paid extremely well. And her younger siblings are in excited about living the American life. While her mom gave her 3 days to hang out and say all of her goodbyes. To her it wasn't enough. Nigerian parents can be very strict when it comes to letting their children go out, her mom took it too far. She was surprised her mother didn't give her only one day.

Her flight was on Friday. It was currently Monday morning, Chinonye had made sure to do all her chores as early as possible to not give her mother any reason to change her mind or delay her outing. Her siblings had been paid off. She gave her 13 year old brother Lotanna ₦1000 to leave her alone for a week. And her sister 15 year old sister Maria was having her friends over later today and she was glad she would be far away. Her friends Amaka and Munachi, had planned a day to remember, her normal curfew is 5pm but for the 3 days of outings her mother extended it to 8pm. And she planned on using that invitation as much as she could.

She packed a small bag with her swim suit and her dinner clothes. She didn't want her mom to see what she was actually going to wear. It wasn't a new thing, she and Muna would always change clothes at Amaka's place as her parents were hardly ever home. It's not like what they wore was bad, but some parents in Nigeria had an old mind, they didn't live in this century and even an off-shoulder long sleeve shirt would be inappropriate and unfortunately for her her dad was one of them. As she examined herself in the mirror. She was satisfied with what she saw, she put on a jacket to cover her strapless top, zipping it to the top. Swinging her rock sack on her shoulder she told her parents she was off. "Keep your phone on so I can call you" her mother Grace said as she typed away on her phone not sparing her a glance. "Chinonye let me see what you're putting on" Mr George Eze said sternly. "ahapụla ụlọ a dị ka ndị akwụna ahụ ọ bụla" He shifted he gaze to her attire to make sure she looked decent. When he was done she told her to go. I don't need this jacket she thought but when she sent her parents pictures of her day, she needed the jacket present in the pictures. Not that they asked for it, it just make her life easier and she won't have to tell them how her day went. The strapless top she wore was yellow and tight fitted, pronouncing her busts more than appropriate. She paired it with blue jeans and sneakers. In her bag she carried a one piece swim suit for the beach and a black short strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a sliver sandal 4inch heel. Her whole week was planned and nothing could ruin it. She needed to take lots of pictures for Instagram. She had limited cash, so she couldn't spend recklessly but she wanted to make it look like she had money to waste. It wasn't that she was fake, or she lived a fake life, she just wanted to look like she was happy and enjoying life even though she was moving a thousand miles away.

Amaka's house wasn't far from hers the government estate was built with all the houses looking very similar the only difference was the interior decoration and the numbers on display to help visitors navigate. She didn't need to knock she knew her friend was too lazy to lock up after her parents left in the early hours for work. Amaka sat in the living room her standing mirror resting on the wall, far from the normal place it hung in her room upstairs.  Amaka was a tall lean girl of 5"11ft. Her very dark skin looked flawless as she had no pimples or skin condition. She was sure if her friend went into modeling she'll be extremely successful. Her natural hair, packed into a high puff. If was Amaka that got her on the natural hair train. She never felt more confident than when her natural hair was combed to a perfect classic Afro. Her friends floor was littered with makeup and clothes. "Noni you're too early, I haven't even started contouring sef" her friend said as she closed the door. She was extremely right. They had planned to leave by 10am and Chinonye got there by a few minutes after 8. "I know, just wanted to help you out. I don't want you to ruin the schedule" She said replied honestly, her friend had a bad habit of wasting time and making them late. But today was about her and she didn't want anyone to mess it up. As the time went by her other friend joined them. Muna never failed to impress her short stature of 5'5ft looked stunning with her small waist and perfect hips, her ass very round and sweet on the eyes. They had their fallouts with boys but somehow always got talking after each time. Unlike her friends Chinonye wasn't as tall neither was she as short she sat between the two at a height of 5"8ft. Not enough to be called short, not enough to be called tall. Each of the girls sat, touching up their faces with makeup and false lashes. They felt beautiful. Their first spot today was a park. They didn't need to go there. They all understood the parents will need digital proof rule and set up a fun pg13 day at the park. It wasn't too crowdy as it was still morning. So they sat there talking, taking pictures and enjoying the moment. Their pictures consisted of 2 groups for the gram and for their folks. As it clocked 12 noon the girls. Booked an Uber. They were headed to the beach. All ready to sit on the sand take pictures and talk about how much they'll miss eachother. And by 5pm they packed up their bags and headed to a Restaurant. It was the first time she's been out this late and she enjoyed the cool breeze of the evening. They talked about her day tomorrow. How they would cover for her as she spent her day with her boyfriend Bayo. As time flew by the day ended, and Chinonye counted down the days she had left till she would leave. Devastated she went to bed early that night as she planned her day perfectly.

Tuesday came and she left the house they same way, this time in nothing but knockoff sweatpants and a t-shirt with her school logo. She didn't plan on giving her parents the idea it was a big day. Her parents had no idea she had been dating since she was 15. Putting her in a same sex school didn't at all limit her knowledge on boys. It just made it easier to hide. If her father ever found out she had a boyfriend. She would be in a lot of trouble. Arriving at Amaka's, she got her dress and shoe she left there the previous day. Today she matted her hair 'all back' a popular hair style in Nigeria. She was planning to have sex with him today. She didn't want to go to another country a virgin and she really liked Bayo. She was beyond nervous. Amaka had given her her privacy to watch porn videos. Chinonye might have been a virgin but she wasn't innocent. Snicking boys into her life as long as she could remember. She's done all sorts of things, oral. But had never gone all the way. Her phone rang by noon that day. Her boyfriend couldn't spend the whole day with her as he was in University. A state university she had planned to go to the previous year. Bayo was what she would describe as a Yoruba demon. The boy was 19 and had dimples on both sides of his cheek. His teeth perfectly aligned when he smiled. She had been with him for 7 months now. That's the longest she had ever dated anyone. He sent an Uber for her and she was off. He stayed close to school and his roommates were out for the day. He was currently skipping his class. Since she didn't plan on telling him, she was ready for sex. She bought the condom herself. Arriving at his hostel she was quick to go in, it was close to her  old secondary school and she didn't want an old staff seeing her and telling her parents. Bayo was welcoming he cooked for her and they watched a movie. It wasn't long and it wasn't romance. It was action and she didn't mind. She knew the best way to get a boy in the mood regardless of how he's feeling. As soon as the movie ended she straddled him. Her legs on either side of his. And she rubbed her crotch on his dick. She kissed him. Roughly, tongues fighting and hands roaming. "I'm going to miss you" he said through breaths. He was already hard. His dick pulsating under his jeans. He knew she would only suck it off. But he wanted more, he wasn't going to let her leave without pounding his dick in her. As clothes came off he was quick to bring his fingers against her clit, rubbing in circles, she lifted herself off slightly and he easily slipped a finger into her sopping pussy. "You're so wet" he said as he added another digit. Both naked he pushed her down on her back, determined to get something out of dating her. Pushing her legs further apart he lay between them, kissing her lips and trailing little kisses down to her neck then down her collar bone. He took his time before taking her left nipple in his mouth, his hand took her right breast in his arm and he placed a gentle squeeze, massaging it and tweaking the nipple in between his fingers. "Bayo.... oh my God, Bayo..." she moaned lowly. He stopped and held himself up on his elbow with one hand. He held his dick in the other hand and lined it at her entrance flicking her clit. She moaned loudly at this action. He pushed his head at her entrance but she moved back quickly, removing herself from the sexual daze. "I got a condom" she said and tried to get up to get it from her bag but he pushed her back down. "Don't worry about it" Bayo said, he didn't like condoms. They never feel right. "I can't. I'll just feel more comfortable using it" she replied honestly. Losing his patience he groaned loudly, moving forward he took her face in his hands and kiss her slowly. "Trust me, you'll love it raw" was all he said leaving no room for more arguments. He pushed her back down and repeated his previous actions. His hard member slowly entered her. It feels so fucking good he thought. She winced in pain. It hurt more than it felt good. He leaned in close "Wow, you're so tight" whispering in her ear, she shifted slightly under him, trying to get comfortable. He moved slowly at first, taking his member out before sinking it back in her wet hole. She could feel him inside her warm and pulsating. He was about to cum, she could feel it, but he didn't make any movement to show he was going to pull out. Panicking she tried to pull away but he held her down tighter. "Just a little more" he said. She struggled until she pushed him free successfully, white semen was dripping out of his tip, looking down she saw more dripping out of her entrance. "Fuck, Bayo!" She screamed. "I can't get any pills, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Not expecting any answer. He laid down beside her,  his passion temporarily sated. She was pissed and he knew that but he had no intention of dealing with her. She got up, carrying her clothes she scampered her way to the bathroom. Coming out a few minutes later fully cleaned and all dressed. She was disappointed. Bayo was on his phone texting. He didn't even seem worried. She wasn't going to let him sleep with a peaceful mind. She stalked her way to his bag on the chair. He hadn't taken his eyes off his phone so this would be easy, she brought out his wallet and took all the cash in it. It was more than she was expecting, a lot of cash, they had planned to go out later that evening. But since she had no intention of going anywhere with him, she would go alone. But he would still pay, just that he wouldn't know about it.

"Bayo, I'm going" she told him on her way to the door. He looked up from his phone that smile on his face disappearing. "Come on, don't go babe, it was a mistake. I got a friend, she's good with getting some after pills. I can hook you up if you want." Getting up from the bed she looked down, he had worn his boxers back. Now that she'd been with him, she could say it in her mind freely. He was fucking tiny. She didn't want him to come close to her. "Don't worry about, I'm good" she said and left closing the door behind her.

Instead of going home, she went into the university, pulling out her phone called an old friend of hers. She was a senior in her school almost 3 years ago.

"Kelechi, I'm in your school can you help me with something"

"Sure, what is it?" The girl on the phone asked. "If you finally wanna smoke some weed I can help you out but you know you can't call me when you get caught" she girl laughed. Her words were slurred, Chinonye knew the girl on the phone was high. That was something she'd always wanted to try but she knew that if she was ever high her parents definitely would find out.

"No no, I want some birth control pills" she said lowly not wanting anyone around her to hear.

"Wowwww, that's easy. But you gotta take it where I can see you, come on over"

It took a few minutes to reach Kelechi's hostel in school, she knew the girl was always a loose screw. Probably why her parents dropped her in another all girls hostel, right after secondary school. She'd been here two times before. But never alone. Knocking on the door a girl opened the door, a new face she thought. The girl wasn't wearing any clothes. Kelechi was used to it. Just to get to this room she saw a bunch of either skimply dressed girls or completely naked. Being aware of no other male stare made them too comfortable with the way they carried themselves. "Hello" she told the girl before walking passed her. She spotted Kelechi on the bed to the left, a joint between her fingers as she sat in the same state of undress as the girl at the door. Kelechi saw her and smiled. "It's the little babe that's about to be knocked up" Chinonye looked down, a little ashamed. Want to leave there quickly "Do you have it?" She asked, the other girl nodded before changing her smile to a smirk. "Before I give it to you, you must do something for me"

Chinonye knew that's how the girl worked but this time she had cash. " No need I have money" she stated proudly. But Kelechi shook her head. "Sweetie, we were about you have a little fun. Join us and I'll give you that and another free. What do you say?" What kind of fun Chinonye wanted to ask. But she already knew. Kelechi preferred both genders. It was illegal in their country so they kept it in the bedroom. Chinonye thought of two things.

1. She always wanted to see what being with a girl felt like.

2. She would never see them again.

Leaving the University with an extra pill unlike she had planned on entering didn't bother Chinonye. She might need it in future she thought and put in her bag. Her day ended not as bad as she thought. She went back to Amaka's house and this time Muna was there. They talked about how she would meet new friends, though she didn't have a problem with white skinned people. She has only seen them on tv and at the mall. Never having to actually communicate with one. It was like she was entering a different dimension in another world and she wasn't so happy with it.

She got home earlier than usual and her mom was quick to ask how her day went. She had forgotten to add pictures with the girls to her schedule for today. "Sad oh, I'm going to miss my friends" she said sadly no going into any details. Her mother didn't press her for more answers and sent her off to her room. The money she took from Bayo was almost twelve thousand naira. She spent the rest of the evening packing. She went over to her sisters room and tried to pick everything. As the room was gradually becoming empty, she started seeing things she'd been looking for for years and her younger sisters toys stuffed at the back of the wardrobe. She remembered keeping them there when her sister broke her phone years ago never giving them back. Remembering that took her to the days she shared the room with her. Their house only had 4 rooms, being the second oldest she was meant to get a room to herself. But with her dad living in the past, men are supposed to share a room when a woman has hers. Her older brother Chinedu didn't mind sharing with their newest brother Lotanna, but their father insisted the girls share and the boys should have theirs. After Chinedu got admission, he moved into school and Chinonye being as smart as she was eagerly moved into her brothers room. Her brother would be coming home on Thursday to see them off, she insisted on the phone. Knowing how much her younger brother adores the older one she wanted him to at least see him off.

The next day started slow, she made plans today to see some other of her friends from school about four of them. She didn't have many friends but she had a lot of acquaintances or at least that's what she'd like to call them. With her fifteen thousand followers on Instagram she knew her friends would want to take pictures with her. So she didn't disappoint in the outfit category. Bayo hadn't called her the previous night or this morning so she was going to look nice and make him wish he did. Her phone beeped and she saw a text from Somto.

"You dey come" she had always told the girl to not speak pidgin to her. But she never listens, she insists on speaking like a true Nigerian. It was quite annoying but she'd gotten used to the language, most of the boys she knew spoke it.

Evening came around faster than normal. She was irritated. Her friends had surprised her with a send of party with half their set mates there. The ones she liked, the ones she managed, the ones that she pretends to like and the ones she openly hates. But they had all welcomed her with smiley faces, she was actually happy they took time and planned all these. She thought she'd never see some of them again after graduation. Girls can pretend, it was scary she thought then again she did it just as much as they did. She was having fun smiling, talking, dancing, taking lots and lots of pictures. But during the not so little party news of Course High School's prom was going round and everyone was on their phone. It was quite painful for them to look at, their new administrator Reverend Sister from Hell they called her, canceled all things social. She didn't want boys to enter her school. They didn't get to dress up and have from like other mixed schools. Somto walked towards her and showed Chinonye her phone. It was a picture of Bayo and Jennifer, a very pretty African American mixed girl attending that school. She got her fame easily with her dad as an American, plus the girl was loaded. Her red dress was fitted around her hips and flowed down the rest of the way. Bayo has his arms around her waist and was kissing her. Chinonye was beyond jealous, she old classmates looked at her like they were expecting her to cry. What a joke she thought harshly. She wasn't that weak, she'd never cry because of a boy. First thing she thought was I can't take a picture like that, if someone showed it to my parents they'd probably kill me. She just kept looking thorough the rest of the pictures. She found out the girl Oomi won prom queen for her school and the plastic crown on her perfectly laid edges was the last straw for Chinonye. That girl either knew or didn't know she was dating Bayo, so she decided to be petty and end Bayo's second relationship. She had nothing against the girl, lies, she thought, she was raving with jealousy.

She posted a picture on her insta story less that a few minutes later, a picture she and Bayo took looking all cozy, she looked drop dead gorgeous with her makeup and dinner dress at a date they had at a fancy restaurant a few months back. But she drew an x on his face with a red marker, adding a cheater sticker above his head, below she wrote done with him, hope you enjoy being a sloppy second, tagging Oomi might have been petty, but she enjoyed it. After she posted it, everyone at the party started reposting, not because they wanted to help her, they just wanted to spoil their day. Some even tagging Bayo, just to make sure she saw it. It was 6pm when everyone started going home. A lot left before 5 wanting to be back before their parents. Chinonye got home some time before 7pm and her living room was more occupied than normal. Her brother was home and everyone was asking him about school. She decided to sit with them, having enough drama for one day. They had a nice time catching up. She didn't tell him she was in his school the previous day. Knowing she'd have to go into details. She was close with her brother and told him most things but she knew he could be over protective sometimes. She was going to miss lying to her parents that her male friends were there to see her brother, when her brother was home they mostly did this, get away with seeing the opposite sex without getting a tongue lashing from their parents. The next day she woke up to a video on her WhatsApp, sent to her by Amaka.

Shit went down at their after party

The video was of Oomi crying and hitting Bayo's chest. She was cursing profanities at him calling him a cheat and showing him pictures. More pictures most have come out after yesterday. She was happy she also got a text from Bayo, it was simple and it made her smile.

'Fuck you'.

Thursday rolled by faster and by Friday morning she was sitting on the plane, waiting for her 24 hours long flight. This is it she thought sadly, time to begin a new life in a new continent.
