w how much I suffer, i get bullied cause my hair’s in this texture the other girls even go as far as saying my hair is like a helmet and they proceed to throw stuff at my hair. Let’s talk about the name Monifa what the hell is that? I get called “Momo Monkey with a helmet on”. Do you expect me to just sit back and watch them beat me up? And when i fight back

Monifa Storms out of the living room and immediately she leaves Mrs Naomi bursts out in tears, she gives her husband a really tight hug as she gra

he’s around me is more than enough to make me feel like flying I’m over the moon. Ryan is one of the reasons I love to accompany my mom to work at the Smith mansion, and I don’t mind helping her out to do a little cleaning here and there it just gives me great joy knowing that I get to clean places Ryan has probably touched. Even though we’ve never had the opportunity to say the slightest words to each other like “Hello” or “Hey”….my love for Ryan continues to grow as the minutes, hours and days pass by. *Mr Olu gives a soft knock on the door and he proceeds to open it a little* Hello my little Princess how are you? He says. I’m sorry about yesterday you know your mom and I love you so much and we only want what’s best for you,and also we didn’t give you a weird name just to remember our roots, your name’s a Yoruba name that m

I felt big warm arms wrapped

d gently. Thank you Miss….??? He says with a puzzled look on his face. Monifa, I’m Monifa. Well thank you Miss Monifa that’s a unique name you have there it sounds really beautiful. I’m Ryan, nice to meet you. he says with a warm smile. and he leaves the room almost immediately after saying his name, I guess he went to find the menace that pushed me. My parents have worked for the Smiths for the entire 18 years of my life, and in 18 years I’ve only had the opportunity to see Ryan from afar or I don’t see him at all cause he spent most of his time abroad either studying something new or on a vacation. But he always came back after a while and that made me so excited,I steal glances of him anytime I get the opportunity to, I steal glances of him even at school and he has never noticed or spoken to me once, mayb
