My Best Friend

Check on pamela? I never really checked on her, I just went downstairs to my room and took a bath. I was done with the making-up and trying to brush my hair, it kept tangling. What we girls go through just look perfect for that one guy . Well I was done with everything. I started talking pictures of myself.

I changed my dp on my whatsapp and immediately I started getting messages.

I didn’t even reply, I’ll form for some people, it will take like 10 minutes for me to reply oh! Please, I’m not the only one doing it.

Then I got a call from one of my good friends “Stacey” she is really a good friend, she was with me throughout the time I I lost my dad and actually she was way more closer to me than pamela., and funny she doesn’t really like pamela. I don’t know why Anyways! We talked for a while.

She kept asking me how I was doing and that she misses me, bla bla bla! I was even surprised when she asked about pamela, she
was like, “how is that one? I laughed and said she was fine na. She started telling me that Josh (ex-bf) and one girl like that hooked up.

I was like ok. Then I ended the call. I was bored
didn’t know what else to do, I decided to write to my diary. It has been long, so I started looking for it inside my bag, it was really deep inside it, I got it and went outside to stay and write on my diary. I sat on the plastic chair that was already outside and a table in front of me.

I started writing on my diary. Basically what
I was writing was mainly me having s*x with my best friend’s brother.

This was I wrote: OMG! I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD s*x WITH MY BEST FRIEND’S BROTHER!!!! I’M THE WORST BEST FRIEND EVER, BLA BLA BLA, BUT I REALLY LIKE HIS MAGIC IN ME. HAHA. I’M A BAD GIRL, YOU MADE ME ONE. Immediately the devil in human form came out of nowhere and snatched the diary from me from the back.

It was pamela! She was like , what’s this?
Looking at it. I got up, “That’s my diary! Give it back. I said with authority. She was confused, then she look at me, “diary ke?

Wait you keep a diary, hehehe” she started laughing and was stomping her feet on the ground so hard. I got angry.

“Pamela give me my diary, 1, give me my diary 2!” I said, shouting so loud.
She was still laughing, she said to me, if I need my diary….

I should come and get it. The next thing she started running around the compound.

This was definitely not what I want this afternoon, I said to myself, but I’ve no option.

I don’t what her to see what I wrote just now, I started chasing her. She even opened the gate this time around I felt like giving up. “Pamela please na, biko nu stop!” I said.

She was laughing and running so fast. People around their neighborhood were also calling her, this girl kept running, I just stood at one corner.. I was already sweating and couldn’t catch up with my breath.

The next thing she stopped too and started reading the diary my heart was beating so fast.

I was like God come and take me! She was far
away from where I was standing. Immediately she said, Who’s your cherry boom boom? And was laughing. Cherry boom boom was my ex! I started begging her to stop reading my diary, but it was of no use.

Pamela pl…ease na… I beg you in the name of God…..bikonu, I was pleading and begging her, this girl didn’t know show any mercy.

She kept making fun of the things I do call my Ex, when ever I wrote about him. I was sitting down in front of someone’s shop. He was selling recharge card. I just sat there with my right palm on my chin and my face down, moving my legs from side to side.

In my mind I was like, she was so not close to start reading about the s*x part with her brother and since she was reading it out loud, I could tell she started from the first page, she has a long way to go to reach to that side.

Immediately I wasn’t hearing her voice, I looked up and I saw she was dramatically
lost reading my diary. I was shocked and came up with an idea to slowly walk up to her and collected my diary as I was about to stand up, the guy that was selling the recharge card, Started asking me my name, I just looked at him and didn’t say anything.

I’m thinking about my life and this one is asking me my name , I Said in my mind. I was up on my feet; slowly walking towards
pamela, she didn’t even notice, her face?

I could not tell her mood and this got to me that maybe she might be reading that part oh Lord! Help me, I said in my mind. Gradually step by step till I got close to her, she looked at me and still can’t tell if she was mad or something .

Immediately she gave the molest
face and laughed. Do you really want your sttupid diary? She said. I looked at her, like my diary is sttupid, really?

Oya give it to me, if it’s sttupid, I said to her. She laughed and said the only thing I write about in my diary is about Josh (my ex) so it’s
so boring to read about cherry boom boom, she said. I laughed, because of the way she said the “cherry boom boom” I don’t
actually call him cherry boom boom when I used to be with him, I call him by his name o, but in my diary; he was cherry boom boom ;
now I’m talking about him mitcheeew!. We were still arguing over the diary, when a tall cute light skinned lad came out from his compound.

“Pamela trouble maker! What are you doing shouting in front of my gate?” He asked pamela. Pamela did not even waste time in
replying him, “ewu, you’ll not mind your business. By the way am I in any way inside your house shouting? *rolling her eyes* I was
just standing there confused, I even forgot about my diary.

Immediately the guy looked at me and came closer towards us. He asked pamela who I was? Pamela started introducing na.

“Jennifer um this obinna, he lives here bla bla. A good friend of mine kinda* looking at him* Obinna laughed and smacked her on the head. “Nice to meet you” I said, smiling looking at him. He started complimenting saying I’m fine, this that. I said thank you.

Pamela pushed him away and told him to go. “Shey you were going out? ” Pamela was asking him. He started blabbing and saying stuff. Me I was just standing there Like one mumu. I totally forgot about my diary, it was when obinna asked her what she was reading, that was when I came back to life, “pamela give me my diary now” which diary? She asked me. I was like, the one in your hands
Pamela: oh the silly poo come And Take It (She Started Running Back Home) Obinna I’ll see You Later! She shouted

Me: pamela! * I was still standing there o

Obinna: um so how long have you been here?

Me: now is not a good time, see you later * I started running*

Obinna: like for real? Ok cool I was chasing this girl, she has already ran into the compound.
Even into the living room. I just said in my mind, that it was over no need, this one she’ll go and hide it, but luckily I heard her screamed her brother’s name. “Jeff, please give me that, what is wrong with you now, stop” she yelled. I got inside and to my surprise Jeff was with the diary. He looked at me, I smiled

Jeff: I believe this is yours *coming closer to me * pamela held him on his shoulder, he pushed her away, she got mad

Me: yeah it’s mine * he gave to me* I was glad it was over.

Pamela didn’t get to see that part. Jeez! I’m lucky . She was so mad, she even started crying I was confused. Why is she crying now? “Jeff, I’ll tell mum on you,”. She said.
She ran upstairs. I felt bad o I no Understand wetin Happen Here.

Infact I don’t understand pamela at times. I just sat on the couch in the living room.
Jeff went over to the kitchen, he didn’t even
care if pamela would cry her eye balls out, as for me I can’t go to her room to see her, I know she wouldn’t want me there. I just
sat and even la!d down on the couch, I was tired. Jeff came in immediately.

Jeff: are you ok?

Me: yeah I’m fine, thanks for being my superhero *He started blushing, I noticed. It was good sha *

Jeff : you’re welcome. You know at times pamela could be a trouble maker, we learn to live with that. Are you still going with me?

Me: (I even forgot that he said we were going out) um yeah sure.
Lemme go change. I’m all sweating, thanks to pamela * I frowned my face*

Jeff : *laughs * ok be fast … I left to my room.
