Heartbreak High

The sun shone on my face as my mom raised the curtains opposite my bed .I really don't understand why she enjoys waking me up.

Good morning mom I said as I got up from my bed ..Good morning baby she replied as she moved closer to kiss my cheeks .

She turned around to leave and I looked at her back view which was beautiful as always I

can boast about getting her curves because I really do have them .

My mom has always been my only family member, she is all I've got and I'm a also all she's got .

Myra she called pulling me out from my thoughts

"yes mom I replied"

You really don't know what today is?

And then it dawned on me I'm leaving for school today!!

OH MY GOD !!!

What's the time I asked her she didn't reply she just rolled her eyes and left my room saying" go take your bath and come downstairs for breakfast.

I picked up my cellphone from the nightstand and checked my WhatsApp for new text .

I got one missed call from Bella.

Bella is my childhood friend, actually she's more like a sister to me. She's not only my friend but also my Godmother's niece.

I clicked on her profile pic and looked at it for the hundredth time this week.

I've been missing her a lot lately.She is fair in complexion beautiful,tall also curvy,she has a cute smile which enhances her gap teeth.Looking at her picture is actually making kind of emotional because I'm going to see her very soon .

I clicked on the call Icon and the phone started buzzing seconds later her face popped up in my screen..

Hi baby Bella said

Good morning madam I replied and she smiled oh I love that smile.

So are you ready? she asked.

I'm not so sure Ella I replied.

C'mon baby you will be fine trust me. Ella said to me.

"I hope so" I said barely in a wisper.

We kept talking about our lives and other things.

And most of all we talked about her boyfriend;Emmy .

Bella and Emmy were childhood sweet hearts, they started dating when Ella was just fifteen years old,and Emmy was 20 years old.

Emmy has been acting weird lately ,he doesn't call me ,he replies my text really late ,abd he's always paranoid.

Bella said looking sad .

To be sincere I hate seeing her like this it breaks my heart.

You know what bestie, once I get to Lagos I will make sure to come over and take you out.s So you can have some fun and take a break from all these relationship problems .

Myra said to her friend.

Ok ?Myra said

Ok Bella said still looking sad.

And stop acting like you guys broke up already.

Ella chuckled.

And we finally said our goodbyes.

I stood in front of my mirror and took a deep breath I just took my bath I looked around my room and I didn't know when I started tearing up.

I will surely miss my home I ran hands through the pink bedsheets,the pink drawers, curtains, drawers and I took a deep breath and walked out of my room.

I walked down the stairs slowly looking at the white and pink designs on the walls .

Majority of the designs in my house are pink and white because white was my mom's favorite color while pink was my favorite color.

People kind of find it funny but I really don't like dooorr"I'm just a girl".

Myra come have break fast Sophia our house help said.

I replied with a ok

Sophia is one of the few people I regard as family, she's been working for my mom since I was a little girl.

Even though she has no children she treats me like one she's one of the people that I will miss .

I came to the dinning table and found my mom and Sophia crying like babies.

Seriously guys I'm already feeling emotional so don't add to the extreme emotions I'm feeling right now .

Sophia came and hugged me tightly I couldn't help but shed tears .

Seeing two women grown women crying made me cry too.

Finally the emotional rollercoaster was over and we sat down to have breakfast.

Sophia or my third mom and my mom kept feeding me with fruits fish meat and others I was getting fed up so I stood up and went to my room one more time and thirty minutes later we were on our way to the airport.

I kept looking at the city through the car window.

Abuja is my city ,I was born here ,I learnt everything I know here.

This is my home even though I'm leaving it behind but it's not forever though I know it.

I just don't know how my mom is going to cope without me.

Myra and her mom finally went to the airport of course after another series of crying between her,her mom , Sophia and some of their house helps .

Sophia kept giving her motherly advice,huges,and kisses before they finally said their goodbyes.

To be sincere Sophia was more like her third mother, because she already has a second mother(Anita her one and only godmother).

But her relationship with Sophia was different.

All the cooking she knows,she all learnt from Sophia.

Sophia has been teaching her how to cook since when she was ten.

People who didn't know her thinks she's a

rich,spoilt, little kid,but in reality she's really sweet,and lively young girl. Myra kept looking at the city she was leaving behind.

Her mom had tried everything in her power to make her study in Abuja,she even tried convincing her by promising her a Lamborghini, but she didn't agree she wanted to experience life in another city,meet new people,and also make new friends .

She wanted a better life experience, she wanted to explore,and make her university life adventurous.

Her life has always been going around in circles, the events of her life keep going up and down like she's always making a U-turn.

Myra turned to her left hand side and looked at her mom . She looked at the chocolate skin , beautiful,and curvy woman in her late forties besides her.Her mom was extremely beautiful she has pink lips long eyelashes and pointed nose with gap teeth.

This woman is her only family, she is her life, her mom her best friend, her greatest confidant, her role model.

She is her woman king ,her everything,her life,this woman gave her life, gave her a reason to live even when her dad died.

She made her whole again,she gave her every reason to smile.......

And now she's leaving her . She hasn't spent more than a month without her mom since she was born.

But now she's going to wake up in the morning without those seeing those beautiful dark brown eyes , without those morning kisses............

I'm going to miss you so much mom Myra said with teary eyes.

"I will miss you much more baby"her mom replied her and wrapped her around her arms.

Finally they got to the airport they got in and waited for another thirty minutes, before they boarded the plane .

Myra plugged her headphones and closed her eyes thinking about how she would be able to cope without her mom .

She thought about thier times together, their qurrells, their laughters and she couldn't help but smile.

And then she remembered that she will also have her godmother, and Bella in Lagos so it will also feel like home even though she won't be living with them .

Her thoughts then wanderd to her Godmother.

Miss Anita Myra pictured her frame in her head and smiled .

Anita was a beautiful fair,tall woman in her late forties she and Myra's mom were best friends .

They've been friends long before Myra was even born.

Anita treats her like her daughter and she always joking calls her "My future daughter in law"which sounds weird to Myra because Anita only has two sons:Matt and Alex .Matt was engaged to a white lady he met overseas,and Alex was also schooling abroad and will most likely come back with a wife too.

Myra has never saw any one of them as suitors because they were like family to her.

One and half hours later the plane landed in Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos.They both came down and Myra was already liking the atmosphere she took a deep breath and said to herself.

"I will experience life in this new city"

They were waiting for their driver to come pick them up when Myra saw a familiar face she looked again then among the crowd she saw a tall, fair girl in early twenties, extremely beautiful and curvy and then she screamed ,Ella!!! Oh my God Ella!! Myra screamed again with her face beaming with joy.

Myra quickly ran to hug Ella who was already running towards her.

After what felt like forever she was finally in the arms of her best friend her sister.

Oh my God my baby I've missed you so much Ella said. I missed you too Myra replied with a smile.

Oh My God that smile Ella said and Myra chuckled.

It was then she realized that Ella had company she turned and saw her Godmother who was just pulling out from hugging her own bestie .

Mimi Anita said as she wrapped her hands around her goddaughter.

Myra hugged her back and they both finally pulled out after two minutes.

Ok ladies let's go Ella said and they all hopped on the black Mercedes Benz before them .......

I finally got to Lagos after all mom's attempts to make sure I school in Abuja.

We got into several fights because of this issue but she finally gave in.

I know Lagos is going to be awesome and I'm going to live my life to the fullest during my stay here I said to myself as I looked outside the window.

The city looks beautiful (nothing ever looks ugly to me anyways )

So far I can say I liked the environment it was busy but beautiful the city looked amazing and I was already imaging what the night view will look like.

I turned to my side and I placed my hand on Ella's hand she turned at looked at me with those cute eyes.

I liked the surprise I said to her .

It was my idea Anita said from the front seat and I said thanks mom.

"You're welcome baby" she replied with a smile on her face.

The car finally came to a halt in front of a magnificent building.

The building somehow looked identical to my house back in Abuja.

The walls were painted with pink , white and ash colours.

It had a water fountain in the center the water flows and slashes onto the carpet grass continuously .

It was a three storey building with another bungalow by the side.

Without being told I knew this was another vacation house........

Myra's mom and Anita both have the habit of bringing their children together on holidays actually only during December to a vacation house.

They all stay there and enjoy the family time together.

They play games,make gardens and do many other interesting stuff when they are on vacations.

The family continued like that untill Alex and Matt travel to the US leaving only the ladies behind.

But still they didn't forget their tradition(because it now a tradition),they continued to gather during Decembers , they some times travel out of the country .

So this is our new vacation house? Ella asked

yep do you like it? Anita asked?

I love it both Ella and Myra exclaimed .

I told you they will like it Sandra said to her bestie .

The four women entered the building and Ella and Myra were both wowed by the sight of the inside view of the house.

The interior design was magnificent,the walls were painted with black and white paint , the black and gold curtains were a perfect match for the black and white walls . The gold chandelier in the middle of the living room made it glow with elegance.

It's beautiful! Ella exclaimed .

Let's go check out the rooms Myra said and they both ran up stairs to check out the rooms.

Be careful girls Sandra called out and they just kept running as if they didn't hear her .

Sandra and Anita sat down in the living room and after a few minutes Sandra said. Are you sure this is going to work?

Anita looked at her ,smiled and said

"You know you worry too much Sandra ,trust me our plan is going to work,one way or the other.

I hope so Sandra said nervously.

Myra and Ella kept opening the rooms one by one making a choice was really not easy for them because when they open the doors and get in they'll say this one's mine no it's mine and they'll also end up fighting over the room next doors.

They finally made their choices Ella's room was painted black with pink bed sheets and ash curtains.

While Myra's room was all pink . Starting from the walls ,to the bedsheets,to the curtains,the nightstand,every single thing was pink that's why Ella keeps calling her "my baby" because according to her the color pink was for babies .

Myra looked at the room one more time and she fell onto the bed she looked around and she had this incredible feeling like ........

She felt like she was home back in Abuja.

She looked around again and said this is my new home .

She walked up to the balcony and looked at the city ,she was on the third floor so the view was quite beautiful.

And then she said this is my city and I'm going to make the most of my time here .

Myra took her bath and changed into a black long gown with short sleeves and,a pair of gold heels,and a black handbag.

She came downstairs and everyone was already waiting for her.

"you look awesome baby" Ella complimented.

You look great too, Myra replied.

They all stepped out and entered two separate cars .

Myra and Ella took a White Mercedes Benz.

While Sandra and Anita took a silver Bentley continental GT .

Soon they all arrived at the restaurant they pulled over ,and went in .

They got in and sat down Myra took her time to study the environment.

The restaurant was beautiful.

The tables were all made of glass, the lights were beautiful, they were red, black, and white lights.

Also the chandelier in the middle of the restaurant gave it a special kind of glow.

They were all looking at the menu, while other people dinning in the restaurant kept looking at them .

From the moment they walked in people dinning in the restaurant kept looking at the four beautiful women that just walked in.

Especially Myra, they always draws attention without even trying.

They finally placed their orders and in a few minutes the food was served.

The waiter whose name was Ammie (so her badge says) kept smiling at Myra.

Myra kept smiling back as she was used to this already.

They all ordered rice,but different kinds of rice by the way Anita ordered fried rice and turkey,so did Sandra.

While the younger ones ordered jollof rice.

They all ate and merried,they were cracking jokes, laughing, and also making plans for school.

They finished eating and Sandra payed the bills since it was her treat.
