Where It Started

elieved she had learnt a thing or two. Question number one: if the opposite side a right angled triangle is 3 and the adjacent is 6 find the other side. Phythagoras theorem. Victoria knew that

He asked calling the nickname Victoria gave to Ayo. Oh, he's just a friend I met in the bus after my jamb exam. I couldn't tell him that. "H-he's my friend." She forced herself not to stammer. He didn't push any further in asking questions. I knew it. I knew my death wouldn't be of old age or a sickness. Goodbye cruel world. He kept on scrolling down my chat. Then he did the worst thing ever. He shook his head. He looked disappointed. In me. I made him have that look in his face. You know, that look that clearly says Is this the daughter I trained? That was the thing she hated most. God please anything, I'll do. Just take away that look from his face. She prayed silently, picking my fingers and hoping things ended well.

"It's because of Wattpad that I'm giving you this phone. And also I'm giving you a second chance." His voice was calmed this time. Her eyes shot up to look at him. What? I was screaming from the inside after his statement. "On one condition..." he added and she gave an audible gulp. It was never always a good condition. "You will delete any of this so called social accounts. WhatsApp, Skype, Tweeter, and any other one you are on." He stated. I knew it. "I-Okay." She collected her phone and began doing as commanded.
