Adventure of a Teenager – Pt2

The sky was blue with a bleak of cloud move towards the east. There were no signs of rain, yet the smiles on my face may seem confusing to an observer. Since the brain was trying to process the new experience, the street to which I stood by seemed non-existence.

The following day at school was a whole new story to share. This is a boy’s school; of course with different personalities. Each student wants to prove their experience with ladies intimately, the assumption to me were to have affection with a lady that I could share as well. Many of these boys may be telling lies just to fit in, but as a teen with hormones all over the place, it can be difficult to hold on to pretense. Just as Eve’s eyes open in the Garden of Eden, She just stood there observing the stupid act of Adam and the only solution were to assist him to realize his state of being.  So was I in the class, starring at each student and running judgmental thoughts. I could literally see through their hearts and mind; my imaginations were so sharp like a knife cut through a meat. My vision was clear as if 6^th Sense is being bestowed on me.

George: 17years old, a very close friend would tell his story, “As you already knew I would come to school either with my dad dropping me with his moto bicycle or find my way in. There are 6 teenage girls and 4 teenage boys in total in my compound house. I am in good terms with each one of them, although there were some levels of miss-understanding among us, it was pretty clear we have good relationship. I am not new to intimacy with ladies, however none of the ladies in my house fell victim. My dad’s job would take him out of town sometimes, meaning I would be left alone for the period of his absence. Usually, I would take that as an opportunity to invite my girlfriend over after school. She would not sleep over since her parents wouldn’t allow that – not that the parents knew what she was up to – 16 years was too young to assume she was having intimate relationship”.

George is a well build young man who never knew his mother from birth. His dad, a contract manager for a renowned company, he would usually go on business trips which kept him mostly away from home. When George was as little as 7years old, a child care taker was hired – the lady in her early 20s – to assist with George up keep until he turned 15years.

George continued “In the midst of my endeavor, this lady in the house call Adjo would usually disagree with me on many issues. I have had a lot of thought about the “disconnect” between us and had tried to mend the situation with no luck. So in the absence of my dad, I decided to concentrate on my school activities. The regular activities were:

 I’d come home eat my lunch, relax till 5pm;

I’d scout for water after 5pm since that’s when the pipe in the community became vacant;

After which I’d take my bath and then study till 11pm.

The first time I structured a plan and followed through.

In a very peculiar manner, life has a beautiful way of keeping us up on our toes. It is very amazing to find some student refusing to grow-up when expect. George realized the responsibilities that await him each day he got home from school and decided to map a strategy.

George: It was a Friday afternoon after school; dad was away for the weekend. To get inside my room is a big Mable stones haphazardly arranged into five stairs that climbs up to the top deck. The deck goes in a loop with extra three more rooms on the south and south eastern side. Once on the deck there are 4 entrances to each occupant’s room. My door was second to door one and we share the same stairs leading to the level ground level. Tenants in door one cannot use the stairs without passing in front of door two, Adjo lives with the Anti and her husband as a foster child. Her parents happen to be very fortunate with 11 children. Unfortunately they could not raise all 11 children but to solicit assistance from close family members.
