High school was the highlight of my teenage days, the things I went through because of “fine girl“ as a teenager was a lot. I remember one day out of frustration I use black polish to paint my face and said I would go to school like that, maybe then no one will like me...because I was tired of the drama every week with me as the focus
I was a good student, one of the best in the school, quiet and everything a good student will be but I always got into trouble with boys and other girls, either two guys fighting over me that the principal would have to call us all out and punish us, including me that have no hand in the fight, or girls would lie against me or do Something to get me in trouble because the boy they like, like me instead.it was a crazy journey dealing with love drama every term.
My mum has even been called into one of the incidents before, we were tired because I really was not Indulging any of them but I always got into trouble with them.
And sincerely I didn't get why there was too much drama, I was not all that pretty to me, I was the girl on a low cut, skin cut most times(ABOLO), long uniform with my tie up and tight to the neck and quite skinny too...I wasn't even close to those rich kids with skimpy uniforms, and different hairstyles every week..they should be the ones going through all the love drama, not me but yet I was the one tagged as “the crush of my crush”
The irony of it all is that the one boy I has a crush on didn't even care if I was existing, well so I thought till I found out he was my secret admirer from Facebook that we chat all night every day for years...well story for another day
let me tell you about one of my many visits to the principal’s office because of some boy drama...
So it was a day after Valentine this happened. Normally before valentine, I got random gifts from people, I come to school and see my drawer filled with gifts, chocolates, flowers, perfume, maths, biro, and mini teenage stuff like that, I do not accept most of them especially when I know who it is from but my silly friends would grab them and share them amongst themselves.
On valentine's day I got lots of gifts Even got an iPod set. At that time these things were not cheap I was shocked someone would have done this for me but this particular gift sweet me so I took it and besides its valentine.
A day after I was called to the principal office, where I saw TOBI (fake name) and his mother there and she pointed at me saying I was the one that told her son to steal from her just to get me gifts.
My heart was pounding, I was confused... First I wasn't even sure which gift was from TOBI, I and this TOBI are not friends, we talk but it is very casual so why am I being accused of something like this, I told my principal it is not true and he said he spoke to other people in my class and they confirmed that I make people buy me gift...
I begged tobi to say something and tell them it was not true but the mother shut him up, he was just there with his head down. my principal asked for my school bag and
He searched for any gift or money, unluckily the iPod was there and some chocolate
the mum started shouting when she saw it, calling me names, it was so painful. Funny enough the iPod wasn't from TOBI, he had plans to get me something but got caught stealing from his mum and the mum came to school to blame me when the son has never even gotten me anything before...
SEE ME SEE TROUBLE
I went to class that day and begged everybody never to get me anything again, even if it's biro..that I would rather borrow and return than accept any random gifts.
Trust them to be stubborn, the next day I got, sorry about yesterday gifts on my desk after I begged, this time I took it to my teacher because I didn’t want any more trouble.
sometimes the attention was sweet and nice but most times the trouble it brings eh was just not it.
