#Episode 6

I entered the house and took a deep breath. Finally I was back into the narrow way. I mean, I was home at last. I just couldn't wait to get home. Today was completely something horrible. Just the first day in Broadway and I was wedded to Romeo.

I have to admit, Romeo was kind of a nice guy actually. But I'm not sure he's a Christian. Either way, I'm glad I have someone in Broadway that wasn't on the Broadway. That on its own was good news.

I closed from school, when I was so confused on how to get home. A girl in my class walked up to me and told me she knew where I lived. I was surprised and asked her how she got to know me.

She told me she had seen me the day my Dad brought me. She told me she and her parents lived a few blocks away. I was glad I got to meet someone who lived close to me.

"What's your name please?" I asked.

"Fejiro", she answered.

"That's a beautiful name dear! I love it", I said and drew her close to me in a side hug.

"Thanks! Your name is also beautiful. Imagine you sitting close to Romeo and your name is Juliet. We just couldn't help it but wed you guys", she said and we both burst into laughter.

"All of you Ehn! I just don't know what say. God will deliver me from you people".

"Amen oooo!" She replied jokingly.

"But I don't understand something!"

"What is that?"

"Of all the names in the world why would someone chose to call his school Broadway? At least we have bibles in our house. We all know what Broadway means, right?"

"Na me you go ask? Go and ask the owner of the school ooo. Me sef I wonder ooo! But the school is very beautiful. The teaching and everything. It's known for excellence. That's why parents don't mind the name. They bring their children here to get quality education.

The only thing I don't like in Broadway is", she said and paused.

"Is what?" I asked.

"I shouldn't be saying it".

"Please tell me".

"No! You're just a new student. I don't want to be the reason why you would leave".

"Come on Feji! Feji baby! I promise you! Whatever you have to say would not send me out of the school. I promise to keep my word", I said in affirmation.

She looked into my eyes as though she was confirming my sincerity and gave a nod.

"The senior students are nothing but dogs. Dogs with no shame. Instead of walking with shame, they are the most proudest people in the school".

"I don't understand! What do you mean by the students being dogs?"

She looked at me and frowned.

"I mean, they love doing husband and wife stuffs".

"In the school or at home?"

"I don't know about in the school ooo. But the boys and girls in our class have known each other so much that they don't have shame".

I felt like telling mummy all these. I know the next thing she would do was to withdraw me as quickly as possible.

"Was that why Mr Clifford was calling those boys predators?" I asked.

"Actually!"

"That's terrible!"

"Now you're ready to leave, right?"

I quickly smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Of course I wouldn't! I gave you my word, remember?"

"I'm glad I have you in Broadway. I felt all alone. I'm not sure about this but I feel like I'm the only girl left in that class who's still a virgin. And they're laughing at me for it. They're making jest of me often. Sometimes I feel like hooking up with a guy and giving him my virginity just to put an end to all the jest they are making about me".

"No that's a terrible idea! God forbid! You won't destroy your future because of some useless friends".

"Amen! Thank you so much for coming to Broadway academy. I feel God sent you here for a great assignment", she said and gave me a hug".

I snorted. Of all people, is it me that God cwould give assignment? He ought to know by now that I am not the type you give assignment to. That one is for certain.

"I've always been thinking in that direction. I just want to put an end to not being able to fit in. Just once with a guy won't cause much damage. You've just saved a life by showing in Broadway. I don't as almost doing it. But I'll stop right away and tell the guy the deal's off", she said with a sad smile.

"Please do! That demonic deal is cancelled in Jesus name!"

"Amen!" She replied and gave me a mild punch on my arm.

I arrived at the house and met Ella and Susan discussing.

I greeted them and left immediately to change. As soon as I was done changing, I headed straight to the kitchen to get something for my wonderful stomach.

I sat down to eat and soon found the girls praying in the sitting room. I finished eating and took out my phone and began scrolling through the pictures on my gallery.

I had a nudging to join them in the prayers, but I resisted the nudge very well. Me join prayers? It's like an elephant climbing a tree. I only pray so I can eat in this house. And thank God, I'm getting used to it.

After exactly one hour, they both stood up and went indoors. Soon, they appeared beside me at the dinning.

"Juliet, we're going out for evangelism. Would you care to join us?" Susan asked.

I paused and turned to look at her. Evangelism? Me? Me that used to be ashamed to carry bible and walk across the street. I prefer carrying my phone than carrying a bible.

There were times I would pocket my small tiny bible and stroll down to church. Whenever people see me holding a bible, I didn't like the kind of stare they give to me. So I learned to always use my Android phone as my bible in church.

Now they want me to be carrying bible and be walking around telling people heaven is real! Hei fire is real! Repent and give your life to Jesus! Jesus is coming soon!

Ha! Me I cannot do that one oo! I can't pretend ooo! How will I be carrying bible and be walking around like persin wey no get work? Abeg ooo! They should be going. I need to rest.

"You know I just came back from school. The food I ate needs a little time to digest. And in order for the food to digest, I need rest".

"But the food can digest on the way na! Stand up let's go", Susan said and made to pull me up.

"Susan! Take it easy! It's a freewill service to God. Not something you drag people into doing", Ella said in my defense.

"Ella! God will bless you jare! Don't mind this wicked Susan!" I said within me.

"So! She stays, right?" Susan asked.

"Yeah! Perhaps she can join us tomorrow", Ella said and my heart skipped.

"Okay", Susan replied and gave my shoulders a gentle squeeze.

I pushed her hand off immediately.

"Ha! Julie baby! Are you vexing for me? Why do you vexing for me? What is making your vexing to vex?" She said with a typical Yoruba intonation that I forgot I was sulking and started giggling.

"I'm sorry Julie baby", she said and gave me a peck on my cheek.

So Susan can play with someone like this? She can be sweet and the next moment, inconsiderate. She almost wanted to drag me into doing the one thing I was too ashamed to do. That's why I like Ella. She's completely different.

But Susan can play sha! And I love people that play. I just don't want to see that other side of her.

Soon, the girls left and I sat down in front of the TV and began to watch SpongeBob SquarePants. I watched several cartoons and laughed at the funny pranks they pulled in the movie.

I didn't know when I dozed off on the sofa.

I saw myself snoring on the sofa and kept watching. Soon a bright light filled the room and two angels walked into the room through the wall.

"Daughter of valour", the angel said.

But I was sleeping so I didn't respond.

The other me was doing nothing but watching. It was as if I was invisible to the angels.

"The territorial warrior in the realm of the spirit!" The angel called and tapped me this time.

But I snored aloud and turned the other way.

"Jesus!" I exclaimed from where I stood watching as tears flowed down my cheeks.

Soon another man entered the room. He held a scepter in his hand. And immediately he entered, the two angels went down on their knees. I don't need to be told who it was.

He stood and watched me with a facial expression that couldn't tell if he was angry or sad. It was completely void of emotions.

The only thing I hated in all I was seeing was my loud annoying snore. It was so embarrassing. I never knew I was such a bad snorer.

"Who is this person sleeping?" The King asked.

"My Lord! It's the one that was destined to wage wars against the darkness in this territory. The one that was supposed to be a deliverer to the Broadway academy.

The one that was supposed to cast out demons at the age of 14. She's now 16 and she's still snoring away her destiny". The angel answered.

"What? Angel Maguire! What happened? This girl was placed under your care!" The King turned to the second angel.

"My Lord! I have tried several times. I have spoken and spoken to her. She loves her television so much. She claims she cannot survive without her television".

"What about her prayer life?" The King asked.

"That level! Don't even go there! Her prayer life is zero. She has not even received the baptism of the Holy Spirit yet. She is one big distracted fellow. She forces herself to prayso she can get to eat in this house. That's the only reason why she prays. Apart from that, she doesn't have any business praying", the angel answered.

The King was now angry. I could feel the heat of his anger.

"Oh my goodness! This girl is seriously wasting time! Where's Lucifer? Lucifer!!!!" He shouted.

Immediately, a dark being appeared in the room and went prostrate on the floor.

"Oh thou powerful and dreadful one! Punish me not before the appointed time", he said.

"Look at this one!" The King pointed at me snoring on the bed. I felt so ashamed of how I snore in my sleep. I never knew we were all an open movie to spirits.

I was just snoring like a complete idiot.

"Yes sir! What would you have me do?"

"Make life unbearable for her until the bulkiness of her problems drives her into the place of prayers. Shower her with enough rain of obstacles untill I ask you to withdraw.

Since she doesn't want to learn by words of mouth, she would learn how to pray in the belly of a whale".

I jumped out of my sleep panting heavily. It was all a dream.

To be continued....

Oh men! Lucifer is now on the case!

I pity Juliet!

What about you! Are you going to keep enjoying your pleasures of sin? Are you going to keep on wasting away in front of the television?

The bible says in Psalms 40:7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.

Verse 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

What has been written concerning you? God has a book where he has written what you would accomplish on earth.

Are you fulfilling what he wrote concerning you? Or you're still sleeping 9 hours every night.

Rise up and build your relationship with God! Enough of the time we have wasted.

The story is just about to begin.
