Ify's Diary

IFY 

"Why can't you ever do anything right, you're not better than your father " screamed Ify's mother , "I wasn't the one attracted to him " Ify retorted , this earned her a slap. 

Ify's Diary 

For  many years , I wondered why my mum hated me so much , then I realized that it wasn't me she hated, but herself . My dad was married and he cheated on his wife with my mum, and my mum wasn't over the fact that he didn't want her again. I really don't blame him, my mum was wrong for trying to break his home. Everything still hurt, even with this conclusion, and I always tried to block it out by getting myself involved in school and hanging out with my friends . 

Then I met Steven , he was everything to me, always listened to me , and he never failed to compliment me all the time . I couldn't wait for him to be my first kiss , we weren't dating yet, but I was so anxious . 

You can imagine my joy when we went for lunch one afternoon and he asked me to be his girlfriend with a cute handwritten note . I screamed with joy , at that moment he was all I needed . We planned to have our first kiss that same afternoon , and I was so excited . Finally my dreams were going to come true, which was rare . 

I daydreamed till school closed for the day , I was just so excited , I couldn't believe I was finally going to kiss Steven. I ran out of class after the closing bell to meet Steven, and we proceeded to our "Spot" . Steven was a dream , He gave me another card to celebrate our impending kiss , then we proceeded to get it over with . 

"What Rubbish, not in my school " I turned to see the principal and some teachers glaring at Steven and I , I was shocked . How did they find us , my question was answered quickly as I saw that 'evil rat' Ashake. I was dumbfounded , I beat her up ,yes! But she wouldn't be the only one , this was just low . The witch was actually happy , I promised to deal with her later . I knew I would get into so much trouble , my love for Steven was lost somehow . He wasn't worth all this trouble , I hated him so much at that moment. 

Ashake was going to pay for this , I didn't  know how or when , but she would . As my mother screamed at me when I got home , I began to plot my next move . I was going to hit back  when she least expected !

Ashake's Diary (7) ; Fight Over Steven II

I got to class that morning , downcast , dejected , basically , any word you can think of . I could not believe in my wildest dreams that Steven could be interested in Ify. She might be light skinned but that gave her no right to be worthy of Steven's affections . I had to act fast , and time wasn't on my side . 

I plastered a fake smile on my face , and asked a few of my classmates about Ify and Steven . From their disorganised blabbering ,  I found out Steven had not asked Ify to be his girl friend yet . Perfect ! I had till the end the day to think of a plan , and I was determined . 

After our morning class with boring Miss Ade, I saw Ify scribble something into her diary . Curiosity got the best of me , and i patiently waited till she went to the bathroom , I stole her diary and read through as fast as I could . As i already suspected , She wrote about Steven and how she couldn't wait for him to ask her to be his girlfriend so they could have their first kiss , "slut" . 

During our lunch break , Steven and Ify ate together , and kept on throwing yucky glances at each other . I knew this because I  kept following them closely at a safe distance , like the crazy person I am. Steven asked her to be his girlfriend, using a silly card he made for her . You really don't need to know how I got to read the contents of the card . I couldn't believe it , I was livid .

My plan was simple , drastic but still simple . From my creepy investigations , I found out they planned on meeting behind the school cafeteria , to have their first kiss . 

"Who kisses her less than 24 hours boyfriend ? " . This wasn't going to happen on my watch . 

So I went to the principal's office , yes , principal's office , I could not risk any teacher forgiving them , or giving them a second chance . I had to ruin everything once and for all . I told the principal everything I heard , acting like I was worried that Steven might take advantage of Ify , the "amebo" woman took my word for it . She even sympathised with me and said I was a good friend . 

After school, Ify and Steven went to their "hidden" spot , and the Principal signaled for three teachers to follow her . They caught them just as they were about to lock their lips in an over-rated fashion . The look on Ify's face was priceless , and at that moment everything I had suffered in Ify's hands and all the trouble I had been in because of her was worth it . She definitely knew I was the snitch , but I didn't care. If I couldn't have Steven , neither could she . 

Ify and Steven got into so much trouble , both in school and at home . And for that school year , I was labeled a snitch , but I really didn't care , I got what I wanted and that was enough for me . 

Apologies!!!!

Hey everyone,

I apologize for my absence,it was totally irresponsible of me. I solemnly promise to be consistent with my posts. I really do hope that I am forgiven.. 

Thanks Everyone 

Ashake's Diary (6) ; Fight Over Steven

ASHAKE!!!! My mum screamed. I was late again to school. I jumped out of bed, and threw some clothes on, and off to school I went. I had not had my bath; I was looking so disheveled, in fact that was my worst look to school. I rushed into school, running to my class in panic, just then I bumped into someone.
I looked up to see who I had bumped into; it was Steven (the senior in my school I had a crush on). ‘‘NOT TODAY, NOT IN THIS STATE’’, I screamed in my head, I ran off to class without even saying sorry, ‘‘He wouldn’t recognize me’’ I thought.

However, all the girls in class gathered during lunch break to gossip as usual, and I overheard Ify telling them that she had her eyes on a senior named Steven. ‘‘WHAT’’ I panicked, my evil mind surfaced once again. I had to think of a plan if not Ify was going to get Steven. My day was just great, I wondered how different my life would be if Ify didn’t exist.

The next day I got to school, and guess who was waiting for me in front of the school gate, ‘’STEVEN’’, ‘’this was going to be so easy’’. I thought. I walked up to him in a self- assured manner, and waved at him, he waved back, but it was not to me, instead it was to someone behind me. I turned in surprise, and saw Ify, ‘O YES’! Ify waving and smiling back like a frigging Barbie.

Ashake's Diary (5) ; Triumph Over Ify

It took the whole school a month to stop talking about my fight with Ify (more like the beating Ify gave me); even my mother could not stop laughing at me. I walked into class sober that morning, ready for the day ahead.
I had not even settled in when Miss Bamire (My class teacher) walked into class and announced that we were having a test. ‘’TEST!!’’ I screamed in my mind, I had not even read anything, in fact I didn’t know anything except for the topic we were taught last week (when I say topic, I mean only the topic, not what it entailed).

We cleared our books away and sat still for the test, when I looked round, everyone looked relaxed except me. I was still trying to calm down when Miss Bamire suddenly added that, the test would be marked in class, and everyone’s score would be announced to the class, starting from the lowest.

Miss Bamire distributed the question sheets, we had five questions to answer, all ‘’fill in the gap’’ questions. As I looked at the first question I began sweating, my whole life practically flashed before my eyes, I was utterly clueless. I simply guessed all through and grabbed a few answers that flew in the air (God bless my classmates). After fifteen minutes, Miss Bamire collected our scripts.

I sat on my seat calmly, as Miss Bamire marked all our scripts; I knew I had nothing to anticipate, except failure. Miss Bamire stood up, and announced with a smile on her face, ‘’the student who scored the lowest in this test is (I stood up already) IFY OKONKWO ‘’ I jumped up screaming with joy (to the dismay of the class), yes! That served her right. ‘’SIT DOWN ASHAKE’’ Miss Bamire said with a frown on her face.

I smiled at Ify who was throwing daggers at me with her eyes; I obviously knew I was going to leave class before everyone (for my own protection). Miss Bamire announced that day, that I was the second highest in class (I was shocked).  I guess that was just my day. Immediately the closing bell rang, I ran out (I was still under treatment from the last beating), before Ify even packed her books.

Ashake's Diary (4) ; Most Embarassing School Day II

So after the beating I got from Ify, I made it a point of duty not to cross her part the next day. I mean I had a black eye, and some swellings on my face, and I figured if I still wanted my teeth complete, I should avoid her.

Ashake's Diary(3) ; Most Embarassing School Day

FRIDAY! My best day of the week was finally here. I felt ecstatic as I went to school that day; the weekend was already around the corner. I had everything I wanted to do planned out, all which was to watch movies all weekend (pirated movies unfortunately). It came to me as no surprise when I met a rowdy class. My teacher Miss Bamire claimed she had headache (as usual), so Miss Are (an annoying substitute teacher) was replacing her.  

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t expect Ify (class Amebo) to be in the mood to practice her trade that morning, with me as her main victim. I sincerely don’t know how Ify got an embarrassing picture of me when I was little. All I know is that she was passing it round class, and everyone was laughing.

She then went on to tell the class stupid stories about me, all in my presence (the nerve!!!!!). She was obviously good, because she got the whole class laughing. I sat there on my seat boiling in anger. ‘’how dare she?’’ I thought.

Suddenly I stood up in anger, and charged towards Ify, giving her a nasty slap across the face; little did I know that I was in for it. Ify was not soft at all. She pulled me by my hair (short hair. He he!), to the front of the class, and started her torture by first serving me four dirty slaps. Then she proceeded to punching, kicking and biting me.

My stupid classmates cheered her on, as she used my face to clean the board, even Miss Are stood there and watched in fascination as I was been ridiculed ( I’m sure she wished she was the one doing it to me).

After Ify was through showing me who was boss, she continued laughing with my class mates and telling them even more embarrassing stories of me. As I sat there thinking about my life and reputation , staring at Ify ( who I had killed in my mind a thousand times), I thought of my tarnished reputation, and at that moment I knew I had nothing to lose. So I walked up to Ify gave her another slap, saying ‘FUCK YOU’ at the top of my voice. Well!! I think you know what happened next.

Ashake's Diary (2) ; Operation break Simi and DJ up

So I got into a lot of trouble with Miss Ade last week. I was smart enough not to cross her part over the past few days. But that was by far the least of my problems. DJ (Deji) my crush for the last two months just asked Simi, my classmate to be his girlfriend like hell, if I let this happen. My aim presently was to break them up. All I needed was the perfect plan.

Ashake's Diary(1) ; Trouble with Miss Ade

‘’DARN! I so can’t believe I am late again, thought my alarm was meant to ring at 6am’’. ‘’ASHAKE, COME DOWN’’ my mum screamed.
