The News

Hi everyone, my name is Twinkle Adeniji, I want you all to follow me on how I met my West. It all started like this.

"It's for the best darling". I almost rolled my eyes but chided myself. "Sunbee Girls' Model College failed WAEC for two consecutive years, by next year, you will be sitting for your senior year examination, your father and I won't want to risk that.

"But mum, don't you think you are being judgemental, SGMC failed Senior WAEC for two consecutive years, agreed. However, it doesn't mean that they are going to fail next year too, please mum, please dad, allow me to finish my secondary school education at SGMC, I don't want to go to a new school, please". I joined my hands together.

"Twinkle" Dad removed his eyeglasses. "It's for the best". I scowled. "I understand your plight" he cleared his throat. "But I need you to know that it will be a shame on us if you fail your exam, withdrawing you from the school was the best option, and SGMC clearly shows they're not competent, I sent your withdrawal letter yesterday and also... I stood up shocked, already? My eyes burned as tears began to drop.

"How could you do that to me father?"

"You're our only child, Twinkle, we mean well for you anyways..."

"No school is going to accept a student when he or she is about to enter SS3". I interrupted him once more.

"... I had sent your entry letter to the new school and you've been accepted". I sat back on the sofa.

"But dad..."

"Case closed Twinkle Adeniji, we're affluent and you know that, so if I wish to get you into a new school two days before your examination, I can, any way you're resuming therein a week, it's also boarding so start packing". With that tone of finality, he picked up his eyeglasses and left the room, mum stroked my back and left.

Going to a new school when I'm almost done with secondary school education sucks, meeting new faces, forming new connections, and not having any notion how well I could be treated sucks a great deal, I'm been forced to go to a new school but it's really hard for me to let go of all the memories attached to SGMC. SGMC had always been my home, I began the school immediately after I clocked 3years, and now learning I've to leave there now sucks, I came around from school for the holiday just last week and I received the shock a few minutes ago, isn't that wow? Just then my phone rang, and checking the screen 'Bestie' popped up.

"Hello"

"Babes, what's up? It's been so long, you're forgotten about me?

"It's nothing like that"

"Wait a sec, what happened? Why do you sound so tensed?". Feyisara knows when I'm worried or not happy and I won't be able to see her for God knows how long, she has been my best friend since I entered SGMC, how am I going to live without her, we've so many plans and how...

"Are you there Twinkle?". I burst into tears "T, what's the matter?"

"My parents are taking me to a new school, I don't know how to convince them, I'm to resume next week". Feyisara went quiet for a while.

"But that is so unfair, they can't just pass judgment like that, So you're worried you won't be able to see me for God knows when? I chuckled bitterly.

"I'll miss SGMC terribly and I'm going to miss you more, I can't imagine my life without you, you're more like a sister".

"Awn, you mean elder sis right? Because I'm two years older than you". I smiled

"I'm so sad Twinkle, I don't know how I'm going to pass through this year without you, but you can't disobey your parents, you know that right?" I nodded. " So cheer up, just promise to always call me every day ok? We'll video chat four times a week and we'll write to each other if your new school doesn't approve of the phone, is that a deal?

"Oh, Bestie, it's a deal, I don't think I can ever love that school".

"Awn, everything is going to be okay alright?"

"I'm not so sure about that F, my heart is so heavy". She laughed

"If your heart is so heavy, then exercise, no big deal". I couldn't stop myself from laughing

" I miss you already". She sighed

"I do too T? Promise to send me pictures of the school and I want videos also, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to sight hot guys, I have a feeling you're going to crush on a hottie".

"F!". I exclaimed, she sure won't change.

"Easy, it's just my heart telling me so".

"Are you going to miss me?". I asked

"I miss you already T, but I'm not so selfish that I would want you to go against your parents".

"Send my love to your mum". I said

"And yours also, I'm going to call you later"

"No qualms"

"Bye". I put down the phone, I felt much better after talking to her, that's what my bestie does.
