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 .
