TUESDAY 25 NOVEMBER , 4889.

Dear Dairy,

This is my first time actually writing in a dairy. The only reason I even bought this dairy is because my friends said " having a dairy is one of the best and mature thing to do " so since then I have been working very hard to get enough money for a dairy.

So I am your typical, Nigerian house girl. Jane Bassey. I am seventeen years old who was born in the village but at nine brought to the city of Lagos to work as house girl.

Presently, I live with my rich, wicked aunt. My aunt has four kids.

Sometimes I wander how I ended up as a girl, if I could actually change and reverse time, if I could hold power without doing evil.

" Jane!!" Now that is my aunty who I call the screamer. Her actual name is Kindness Chibuke, she is the exact opposite of her name, that's why I gave her the name that fits a part of her. Ha

" I am coming ma" I answered.  I rushed downstairs, like really fast. I came downstairs just to see Dindu crying. I am so dead.

Dindu is the last born which makes her a spoilt rat or brat whatever they call them. For the record my aunt does not joke with this one.

" Why she dey cry ?" My aunt asked getting aggressive.

" I know no. I dey do walk tey tey " I defended.

" Eh. Now I know. You dey mad, instead of you to be working hard, you are busy doing witch crafts in my house" she said, giving me a slap which we call back hand slap.

Let's skip this part; this actually happened three weeks ago.

Let's just say, I am good at writing English, but speaking English is the worst thing I'll ever do cause I either mix it with pidgin or Igbo.

So, I was walking to school alone today, normally, I walk with my friends or my boyfriend but I left earlier because my aunty was still asleep and my uncle is around and whenever my Uncle is around, I get to be treated like a normal house girl but when my auntie's sister is around, I get to be treated like their family.
That's why I always want her to be around. Thank God sef, she's coming to our house next tomorrow.

In Lagos, walking alone means , someone can kidnap you or steal from you. That is the Lagos I am walking in.  I live in Banana's Island but my school is in the rural side of Lagos, that makes it very far away from my house.

" Junction liver." The bus conductor yells. " You dey go Junction liver?" He asked and I eyed him up and down as if he has gone mad. First of all, I don't have enough money.

" You go pay my transport o" I said walking away.

" Abeg dey go. Children like you no get sense" he insulted and I turned to face him.

" Na you no get sense. Idiot, mumu. " I fired back.

" Your father" he stretched his hands out. "See me see wahala I go slap you o" he threatened.

" Eh. Come and slap. See my face, slap ni, slap ko. " I dared him.

He came closer and people gathered to hold him.

" I go kill this girl I" he yelled.

" You. Kill me, you no sabi kill simple cockroach. You wan kill human being" I laughed triumphantly. " God go punish you and your generation" I cursed him and it made him more violent.

" Conductor calm down" a fair young woman said.

" Wetin happen sef?" A woman that was close to the fair young woman who was trying to calm the conductor down.

While the conductor himself was doing like a beast that wanted to be released from it's cage so it will kill it's prey. In this case it is a he and the prey is ME.

" This girl run o" a man advised. I guess they will soon let him go like a dog being released from it's chains to dislocate the criminal in front of it.

Lemme run o. Me I no wan die.

I should just have passed by, now they are going to tell my uncle.

I walk oooooo till I found Keke.

" Senior School" I said and he nodded gesturing for me to enter. I got in and he sped off quickly. 

He stopped to pick up two more passengers, one was a woman and the other was a student going to government school as well, but, in Junior Secondary.

" Good morning ma" I greeted her and she nodded.

I  briefly looked at the girl seated beside me. She had dark brown hair, fair in complexion. Very beautiful actually and I noticed she looks like the woman. Maybe she's her daughter but who actually wants to come with their parents IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOL O. Not private school.

I dropped some few minutes before they entered. I walked to the school gate, knowing I am late and I am not in the mood to be doing late comers punishment so I passed through the secret gate, I and my friends discovered which is quite risky cuz if any teacher see eh, they will first cut my head into pieces before frying it .

I entered my class, SS2 A. Normally, it is always noisy even with a teacher inside.

" Good morning ma. May I come in?" I managed to speak good English and also it is my morning language and early morning cup of tea, cause of my lateness.

" Hm" she nodded not even paying attention to me.

I walked in going into my class, like a chair lady.

" Where is your boyfriend?" My seatmate asked. I don't like her , she's too nosy and all.

*Giving her a dirty glare*

Dairy? What is glare sef?

" Wetin concin you?" I asked rudely.

" Sorry o" she apologized and I rolled my eyes, bringing out my English book to start copying the note on the white board.

" Jane right?" A new comer in my class asked. I am a class prefect and yet I am the chief of late comers.

" Yes, wetin happen?" I asked him as nicely as I could which is still rude, anyways he is still new so lemme not show him my real rudeness.

" I heard that you sell pen, so I need to buy" he said.

" Abeg, no be me who dey sell pen, na aunty. The Physics aunty that is selling it" I informed trying to concentrate on my note.

" Okay thanks" he smiled. I actually thought, maybe there is something wrong with him cause a handsome guy like him is smiling at a junk like me. I know, I know I have a boyfriend but he doesn't count. I don't even like him and I know he doesn't like me. The only reason we are dating is because no one has ever asked us out so we decided to date ourselves and soon we will break up.

" Abeg no dey smile at me" I snapped.

" Sorry"  he apologized.

He has such a nice English. Maybe is coming from a rich home or maybe he went to a good private school. All this thieves stealing our money and now using it to take care of their stupid idiotic lazy children.

" Abeg keep your sorry" I don't know what entered my head so dear Dairy don't ask me what is wrong with me?  

He smiled and faced his front and then our V.P Admin just had to come in. He is a very harsh person, no he isn't harsh, he is a wicked man.

" Class Prefect get up" he yelled.

Ghen ghen ghen ghen

I don enter.

I stood up and the whole class became dead silence.* Rolls my eyes. angrily*.  Okay!! it is now they know they will shut up their mouth. Idiotic, foolish goats.

" Prefect" he called and a little ' sir' was heard from me. " Why is the class noisy?" He asked as if he is ready to cut off my head.

I don enter trouble o.

" I..it...they...I...." I don enter trouble.
