This time around she wasn't disappearing, she's been following me everywhere, whispering in my ears, trying to touch things and passing through them. She was in my room that when Mom came to talk to me about my medicals and the drugs I had to include, I couldn't stop looking at her and although Mom followed my eyes to the part of my bed where she was seated, she just ignored me.
"When are you going to school?", she asked, the second I woke up.
"Nine am", I replied walking to the bathroom.
"Why? School starts at 8 am". I ignored her and kept brushing my teeth making sure to be extra loud just to drown her voice out. I watched her still in her school uniform from the night she was killed.
"How can I see you?"
"Idon'tknow", she replied jumbling the words together they came out as one.
I had a bath with my shower curtains drawn because she wasn't going to step out and give me privacy, she watched

RHEMA Uncle Chinedu's ankara trousers were so stiff, I could smell the starch from my the door as Chidimma and I entered into the Ms.Angeline' s office. "Chi.. please you need to excuse us". Ms. Angeline said and Chidimma looked at me for consent, her eyes asked me if I was going and I when I nodded she left the room and sat in the waiting room and then we talked about Mom and Dad' latest tussle and that Mom had landed in the hospital, he flung her down the staircase and she hit her head. Abigail came back to a pool of blood at the foot of the staircase and none of the house helps were looking in her direction, "she locked herself up in her room", he said and to continue "and when your Aunty Ada went there she didn't let her in till we told her about your mother". He looked at me and I just stared at the stain of coffee on Ms.Angeline's table. The stain was ugly and round like a rock , and for a second I wished I was a rock, stag

IBIM"I like the way, I'm feeling now", I sang as I opened the door to my room, all day in school I couldn't wait to come back and lay down and stare at the light bulb on my ceiling because it felt good to see it just exist. Lola had gone since Tochi and I left the room, I was grateful that she had gone to wherever she disappeared to it let me feel normal again."Boo!!". I jumped and laying there was Lola."You'll kill me this girl"."So did you talk to Tochi?""About what?". I asked looking back at the light bulb. It was the only thing I could see that was in my reality."Nothing much". I said.

IBIM"I don't know why she didn't tell me", Tochi said as we walked with Mofe down the hallway. He was talking about Mina's nudes and somehow they were friends or cousins or family friends."She won't tell you, genius", Mofe said and I laughed."Are you minding this one?". I asked her and he laughed."Ibim so about your surgery"."You have another surgery?", Mofe asked. I had forgotten to tell her yesterday, I didn't feel like talking to anyone after Tochi said goodnight to me."Yeah, she didn't tell you?""Shoot! I'm so sorry, best friend. I for

Ibim was not in school, the next day as she had said earlier. I stayed with Chidimma all the time, she held my hand every time we were together and that was holding my sanity. Malik was not in school either and so was Mina. Nobody knew what had happened when they were called but it seemed like Mrs. Yakubu was trying to save her son. The ground was shifting beneath us already when another video was uploaded by abroko. It was a video of Manny carrying Bevy, she looked lifeless. The caption was....the cards are beginning to flip over."What doesManny have to do with this. I'm honestly tired", Floxy said. She walked faster than us so she could stand in front of us and talk."Who do you think Abroko is?", she asked looking at me and I shrugged."No idea"."First,they were just making people listen to gossip but now they are beginning to ruin people's lives. I think shit just got real in Ogan".I looked at Floxy as sh

I said with a chuckle."Madam, don't talk like that.""Mommy, I'm just joking", I said amidst chuckles. "Don't freak out. Where is Daa?""He went to get you food"."Please nothing with carrot milk, the surgery is done. I will throw up if I so much as see carrots".Mom laughed and I felt the space on the bed dip.

IBIMOgan looked a little bit different than I remember it to have been all those years ago, the grass hedges looked a bit higher, there were more flowers outside and the uniform was better looking. One thing about seeing is the world looked new to me, everything caught my eye. The house fly on the kitchen counter, the stain in the car seat, the white spec on my uniform skirt even the dust that danced in the sunlight. I just taught I hadn't seen enough of the world yet. When I walked into the hallway, Mofe was standing at the door with a blue bag slumped on her shoulder, she had texted me the precise location, she would be and I wouldn't have recognised her if she hadn't described her location. She looked so new to me like she wasn't my best friend I had known for all these years."Ibims", she said and ran in for a hug."Mofe?""Yes", she said still holding me in her embrace."So many people are lookin

Tochi was striding easily behind me humming some tune, I recognised to be Burna Boy's but not sure what song exactly."What song is that?", I asked."You don't know this song?!", he sounded terrified.I laughed. "I recognise it but I can't remember the name"."Bank on it"."You can bank on it, you put a hundred grand pon it"., I said and he cooed."You know the vibes then", he hopped like a child waiting for

Let's visit our main guy Rhema. RHEMA I kept zooming into the video on my phone pleading the image to change from Malik to someone else, I didn't want to believe he had killed her or had a hand in killing her. We were like siblings, he was always around us and now all of a sudden he killed her? My insides were doing flips. I want to be anywhere but here right now, Chidimma and Sarima are talking on and on about the video giving their theories and I just seated here in denial. "Are you okay?", Sarima asked and that's when I realise them staring at me. "Why?".

IBIMMofe and I were sitting in one corner of the prep hall in the hostel that afternoon. She was busy copying the notes she had missed when she was away in surgery and well, I just didn't copy notes."Floxy, she said something so weird. I think she's abroko, ask Tochi. Guy she was weird...really weird".Mofe dug into her bag of plantain chips and chewed noisily while listening to me talk."I always suspected her but what's her connection with the whole thing sef. See at this point I just want to graduate from Ogan and never step my feet back here", she said."I swear ba... the school is tiring". I said and ran my hand over my face."So what did she say exactly?"."She said that Mina and Malik deserved the cloak and she somehow expected me to know why they deserved it".Our phones buzzed.Mofe looked into her screen, it was a screenshot of a message between two people. Abroko has struck again.

LOLAIt all started the day I overheard Ms Angeline and Senior Daniel in her office, he was telling how they needed to stop whatever it was they were doing. I should have walked away but I stood at the door and pressed my ears to the door."I can't do this anymore Angie,if we get caught, you'll lose your job and I'll get expelled"."We won't get caught"."We could, the sex was good, the dates perfect but everything needs to end"."But Daniel, we're in love"."I'm seventeen,Angie. This doesn't go anywhere, we're just going to end this now".She let out a noise like scream. "I won't let you do this boy, I will make sure you pay""Your back again with your threats,did you smoke a blunt today,Angie." My heart was beating in my chest. I looked around and nobody was on the hallway. We were all meant to be in the assembly hall with Ms.Yakubu for a briefing on the inter-house sports. I wanted to go to the b
