As she came closer, I could see signs of tears at the side of her eyes. Senior Felicia had really pulled all the stops to try and rescue me. Wow!

“See, remember all I have told you. I won’t accept any baby if the father has not paid your bride price.”
“That is why there is condom” Tomi’s dad interjected.

Realizing she was the assistant class captain and having witnessed how she treated the class captain himself, I had braced myself for the worst.
Looking back at that whole incident now, I can’t help but wonder, was Junior really “Junior”?

My name is Happiness, and I am on a journey to the Altar. I forgot to mention, I am single and searching. I am not searching for a boyfriend, I am actually still looking for the one who will ask my hand in marriage and take me to the altar.
