A particular villiage can be found at the outskirts of Abuja, (a state in Nigeria). The morning light shone in, making the room brighter, the curtains swaying side to side due to the cool breeze. A girl of average height, slim, and fair, with an all back braided hairstyle can be seen cuddling her self and enjoying her sleep almost forgotten it time for school. "Jane!! Won't you get ready for school? Haven't you slept enough!" Mama liya, (Jane paternal grandmother ), shouted from the kitchen. She was worried that, Jane might be late for school and end up missing some important lessons, so she decided to wake her up by shouting from the kitchen whilst cooking at the same time.Jane hissed, frustrated that the weekend wasn't long enough." Jeez! Why is the weekend always short?! Two days is just too small. Oh well, am in it already. Time to get ready for school. Grandma am coming, just some minutes please."Jane quickly made her way to the bathroom for he

Their fun time was interrupted by the village head daughter (Mira). " Well well well! What do we have here, a lowly foolish girl gisting with her besties. Oh, so peasants can also make friends hun."Jane was used to Mira's harsh words, but ignorance is bliss, even though she can't deny the pain of those mean and harsh words. She just decided to let it go, cause honestly she really doesn't have time to battle words with Mira, not when she has more significant things to face. Mabel and Viva just glared at Mira, if looks could kill, she would have been ten feets beneath the ground. Mart stood up and sneered." Look whose talking, you know what? You can just cut to the chase. Meaning that, just admit you are jealous or envious of Jane, instead of going another way around.""You..." Mira blushed with anger and of course obviously hurt, because she liked Mart and didn't expect him to defended Jane. Instantly, waves of jealousy surged in her, and she felt like hitting

"Good day grandma." Jane greeted her grandmother as soon as she entered their little house. Mama liya smiled seeing her granddaughter back from school. " Oh my dear, you are back. How was school Jane?"Jane sighed and slumped on the chair. " It was fine, especially because of my friends." You know what Mama liya, I wonder what I will do without my best friends, they are always there for me. I just wish everyone can be like them honestly. Maybe the world would have been a better place." "Of course my dear, I do understand your words, but unfortunately people are different." Mama liya replied her. She moved close to her grandma and asked, " Why is our situation this poor Mama, even the government can't help us, not to talk of our families. "Why do they hate us that much?" Mama liya looked at her granddaughter's eyes welling up and replied her, " Hush my dear, it okay. I know you are just worried about me, but don't worry. " I will be fine, j

Jane widened her eyes in disbelieve. "No, that's can't be. Why??? Who would do that ? Because of what?" The last word came as a whisper, while she slumped back gently on the bed. "Grandma, this is too much. Why this?! So, you mean there is nothing for us right us? No savings?" Mama liya nodded her head at her granddaughter's questions, and they both sighed." I will try and borrow money from my friends tomorrow, cause right now it already late. I guess we will have to sleep with an empty tommy." Jane voiced out sadly. At 11 pm, Jane was still up. Not able to sleep. She was thinking about how things just turned out for them, no good food to eat daily, no good wears, and no one to aid them. Everyone just scorned them both and look at them with eyes full of disgust. She sighed heavily asking her self, why is life so unfair to her and her grandma. They hardly ate three meals in a day, not to talk of no dinner this time at all. Sometimes, when she thinks about their situ

"Morning guys." Jane greeted happily.Mart and Viva replied her back, whilst Mabel arched her right eye brow upward. " Am guessing you are happy more than us with that big smile of yours." Jane smiled even wider. " Well, isn't it obvious? Am more than happy. Am a step closer to achieving my dream."" Hey dream girl, better chill and don't get over excited. You know, it not good." Mart patted Jane. Viva just shook her head at her best friends conversations. Soon, the exam started. Thankfully, Jane and her friends studied vehemently hard, and the questions turned out to be a piece of cake for the four best friends and other serious students. "Wow! I can't believe the exam can be so easy." Mart uttered to his friends."My dear, easy is an understatement.""Yeah, I agree with viva." Mabel joined the conversation. Jane nodded her head and added. " Yes guys, but let's just pray for heaven to help us. Everything has been done, the only thing that remain is the results

Listening to Mr. Lowes words, the scholarship program she lost, almost forgotten due to the condition she met Mama liya earlier, came back to her and made her feel more hurt.She dropped to the ground, weeping silently. The village doctor seeing this felt lost, not knowing what to do.After an hour of crying, all alone now. She stared blankly, her eyes devoid of any emotions. At that moment, all she wanted was to go away from all these troubles. She always wished for a simple life but guess life wasn't ready to grant her that or what? Shifting her gaze from the wall to her grandma, Jane moved closer to Mama Liya. Staring at her beautiful sleeping figure, she felt a sudden surge of hope in her and wiping her warm tears with the back of her arm, she promised. " I will try my best to not let you down grandma."Jane stood up and went to Mr. Lowes house. Knocking on his door, she heard a voice. " Who is it?""Jane."Came her reply to the voice.

Her grandma nodded. Sitting properly, she faced her grandmother." I guess you are prepared for tomorrow, cause you know we have to get to the city before dawn, so our plan will not be in vain." Mama liya replied her, "Yes, I know, but am starting to look at you in a different way now."Jane chuckled earning (a what's funny ) look from her grandmother. "Okay grandma, chill! Your facial expression is just funny, and honestly I can't control myself." She bursted into another round of laughter. Mama liya just shook her head.She thought, " At least now, Jane is going to have a better future. And she is going to get a better treatment, what more is she asking for?"She was really happy for the both of them.~~~~~~~~~ In the midnight, the duo can be seen sneakin
