All Chapters of DREAMS : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I wanted to study in Abia State University (Absu) and I wanted to study Theater Arts precisely script writing. So even if I couldn't study Abroad, I could at least study here. Although my parents didn't see my course as something worth the money the couldn't let there only daughter be an under graduate so the still had to see me through.To my parents, Theater Arts is something anyone could come out and do and you don't even need to read to gain it. Maybe all Nigerian parents saw it as the same thing but not for me , because to me there's a huge difference between something you read and have the certificate to boast and brag about it, not some talent. Moreover, it's script writing we are talking about here not acting.The rest of my first term went normal with nothing much happening except teachers making emphasis about our WEAC and NECO and before you know it first term was over. All final year student were given newsletter which contained details of our next payments and how it shou

"OMO, only this short two or three weeks break they give us , you don fine finish"(Just this two or three weeks break that we were given and you've become this beautiful).I laughed and pushed her a little. " As if you don't know you are the most beautiful girl in our group if not our class".That is the honest truth, Linda, is an epitome of beauty. She is tall, slim, brown skinned,curvy and has a nice flat tommy,infact ,she looked like a model. I am beautiful but compared to Linda ,I can't even get five points. Sometimes I wonder how we became friends because people like her are who we describe as"classic babes". I and Ella's relationship are quite relatable due to the fact,we both started schooling at Albert High school at the same time. So we kinda bounded fast, it's normal between new students. My school Albert High school (AHS) is the second best school in Lagos and also in Nigeria at large. I transferred from Imo state to Lagos,back then in Imo State,my family were

After what happened at the hallway I decided to go to the library and rest but not to read, I can't read with all these mess on my head ,all this frustration is getting a better of me these days, maybe it's the frustration of the scholarship that I applied which e-mailed me asking to pay a specific amount (five hundred thousand naira) for scholarship advancement and the worst part is that I don't even know where I would get the money from,am not even sure if it's legit or scam. "No, I don't have to be all negative about it instead I should be positive if I want it to work out". I ruffled my hair in frustration "I can't back down now, at least, not when I've gone this far,that would be insane and disturbing". The worst part is I can't ask my parents for the money, not with my school fees being incomplete,I can't work either, at least not now , even if I get any work now,my parents won't let me go for it. I don't even have enough savings ,what a shame.

"So next week is February "? Is that a rhetorical question or what, I asked myself. We were outside since it was break taking a stroll. "This one you are talking about next month, do you have plans "?. Emmanuella asked while keeping quiet listening to them. "Are you guys that dump, don't you know what normally do in February ". "You are the one who keeps the tag of that". Ella rebuked her and immediately they both began to argue. "Serena, won't you say anything "? Linda called out to me but I pretended not to hear her. They are not dragging me into their childish argument. "Fine, you win, what's so special about February that you won't stop blabbing about it"? " Am also interested in knowing Linda". I finally joined the conversation. Waiting for Linda to explain the big month. "Well, ladies, February is the month in which we celebrate Valentine's, and the school always through a lavishing party f

I walked over to my dressing table and I could see my Debit card on the table. I ran my hand through it and smiled as I remembered how James promised to help me and he also kept to his promise. He always goes out of his way to get things done for me just to make me happy and that's when it hits me, maybe, Linda is actually right. FLASHBACK "You know Serena, I have always seen you as a smart person but today I came to understand that it's just a show".Those words really hurt me and they keep on replaying in my head. "I thought you could figure things out but as usual,am wrong ".I gripped hard on my debit card putting all my frustrations in it. "You are ignorant, stupid and at the same time dumb. Your devotion to your Aborad nonesense has lead you to be confused and conflicted.What does she really take me for? Always blaming me for whatever happens between I and James. But I kinda pity Linda for the words she received from Ella becau
