Little Lucy

My name is Lucy. But everyone calls me Iittle Lucy. I guess that's because l'm always the babyish, childish type of person around. This is the story of my life. I've been trying overtime to write a book. I've kept a full diary since I turned ten. Now as a grown up adult, I amassed all those little thoughts, turning them into my very own story. Now everyone has a turning point in their life and my Own turning point began in 2016 when I started schooling at an all girls school. At first, I attended QUEEN'S ACADEMY! The mistake she made however, was to make me a boarder.

" But I don't want to go to an all girls school" I whined when she disclosed the news to me. She was going through the prospects of my new school, a big smile on her face. " Why not? The school's perfect. I heard they have the best teachers and the most brilliant students in the country. Check out their records. It says they've won Cowbell maths competition fifteen times."I was seated in the living room with mom, glaring at her. " Mom, I know that. But...l can't.. I don't want to leave. Not just yet." Mom looked up from the papers at me. " And why?" T bite my lips. " It's because I don't want to. I mean, I've never been to a boarding school before and...well, I like it here where I'm schooling already. I have lots of friends. Il can't just give them all up." Mom sighed. " Honey, I understand but your grades are bad. That's not cutting any ice with me. Your friends are a bunch of distraction and I don't like them anyways. All you girls ever do is lock yourself up in the room, watching Hannah Montana or Moana.creepy music and gossiping about irrelevant things. I see no where you'd be getting if you keep going on like this." I nearly sat up. " And you think sending me to QA would change that?" Apparently so, Lucy' mom said. " Queen's Academy is what I want for you. The school's very expensive but that's alright, I can afford it. You'll be transformed the moment you step foot there. I've seen the school. They're very strict and well disciplined. You'll be happy there, I can assure you." " But what about my friends?" Mom stood up and wandered over to me. She sat down beside me and frail an arm over my shoulder." Lucy, you don't need friends. Your friends are nothing but bad news. Trust me, I know what's best for you. This new school is going to be the breaking point of your life. You're just turning sixteen. You still have a long way to go ahead of you. You need discipline and the right education. I'Il always support you. You know I want the best for you."And that was how I left middle school to begin my senior years in a new school. We had to travel from my state to a whole different state. The school was situated in Enugu state. It was huge and beautiful. I've never seen any school like it in my life.Hell, the school looks like an estate in Banana island, Lagos. On my first day at school, we the freshmen were given our uniforms while we waited in a single file for our room numbers and hostels. QUEENS ACADEMY also Known as QA was one of its kind in the country. I was impressed with what I saw. I was surprised to see lots of girls; the tall, the short, the ugly, the beautiful, the light skinned and the dark skinned. This was QA and it would forever change my life.Forever. I can't believe I was going to have my first boarding school experience in an all girls school. Mom saw me off after stocking me up with provisions at my guardians place. As a growing girl, she knew needed a lot to eat so she provided more than necessary. Now at a boarding school, everyone owns a guardian who is like a second parent. They are placed with the responsibility of taking care of your affairs in school. My guardian was Miss Vee. Vee was happy to receive me. She was young and very pretty What's your name, little one,' she asked infront of my mom. She was one nice lady and very kind. I liked her instantly. "Lucy,' I answered, shy at first. She gave me a sweet smile and I thought I saw dimples on her face. " Aww, what a cute name. And with such pretty eyes too. I think I'll call you little Lucy." I raised my eyes at her then at mom. Mom liked the name so she nodded her approval." Little Lucy?" I touched my lips. " I like it." And that was howl got the name-Little Lucy. I was average in height with big large pretty eyes. guess that's why she thought of me as little. My eyes were the diamonds in me. Many people I knew always talked about my eyes. Big, manga shaped and Crystal clear with long glossy eye lashes that batted always. Vee and mom talked and it was decided I was to be her ward. Vee promised to take good care of me. All that time, I was studying my guardian. She had on tight jeans that were moderate as well as sexy. She wore a blouse top but that only made her more pretty. One thing I noted was her reading glasses that she rarely takes off. Soon, registration was over and I was given ten minutes to bid mom goodbye. It was tough to see mom leave. This would be the first time l'd be left witha stranger in a strange place away from the only people I knew my entire life. Be a good girl, Lucy' mom kissed my forehead."I know you'll make me proud." I was sniffing like a little kid. " Mommy.... don't go." Mom held my shoulders. " Don't worry, baby. Be strong. I know it's going to be tough but you got this. I’ll come
