21— Scholarship
Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie)
So many things happened in the past few months. There were things Cookie just wanted to forget because everything had to do with Princess Amanda. She couldn't take her dramas and troubles so she had to agree in doing whatever Amanda asked her to do so she'd avoid causing trouble.
A day hasn't passed without Amanda causing a fuss out of every little thing. When someone tries to talk to her about her unacceptable behaviour, she will flare up and react in an unspoken manner. She'd always let her anger control her to the extent it was frustrating Fabian so much.

Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie)"Amanda! Amanda! Amanda!" Fabian shouted all his way to her.She was sitting with her one out of her numerous rich friends. They were drinking and having a conversation when Fabian's scream interrupted them."What is it honey? Why shouting my name like that? Do you want to fall down the roof of this mansion?" Amanda asked when Fabian and Cookie walked closer."How many times have I told you that Cookie's not a maid?" Fabian asked instead.Amanda looked at him briefly and then behaved like no one had spoken to her. She continu

Lagos, Nigeria (Amanda)"What are you saying, my daughter? That Fabian left you?" Queen Beatrice kept asking, "How can he leave you a month before your wedding? This is annoying."The king remained quiet. He had lots of things running through his mind. He had told his village council about his daughter's upcoming marriage and was disappointed to hear about their breakup. How was he going to break this disheartening news to them now? Another of his concern was placed on his daughter. He knew Amanda was young for marriage but if she continued with her bad attitude, over protectiveness and selfishness, he didn't think she was going to get a date anytime soon. Thirdly, his first son Nonso had refused to get into any form of entanglement ever since he came back from England. King Eze was getting old and he wanted an heir apparent to the throne before he kicked the bucket. Also, he wanted to see his grandkids before doing so. The customs and traditions of his village were that the King's

Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie)"Have you packed your bags yet?"Charity, Uncle Kayode's daughter walked into Cookie's small comfortable room. The one She'd occupied with Gloria since they moved into Uncle Kayode's house."Yes...?" it came out as a question rather than an answer because Cookie wasn't so sure of her self. She didn't know if she was ready to go about life in another country.Charity took a look at Cookie's polythene bag that was sitting on her small bed. She furrowed her brow in confusion."Come on, don't tell me you are only taking those—"

A flight to England. (Cookie)On her flight, she listened carefully to the blonde lady on prim blue and red flight attendant uniform as she informs everyone on what we should do in case there is an emergency. For a first time ever being in a plane, Cookie was afraid of a plane crash and also scared of heights."Are you alright?" Someone sitting at her back tapped her but she gnored the person, not knowing what her answer should be.Am I alright? Am I?.. Hell no, I am not.She told herself.Although, a part of her was happy that she'd entered a plane for the first time since she was born while anot

England (Cookie)The plane landed safely and the first thing Cookie noticed and felt was the chilly air.OhmyGod!She screamed in her head. Like how the fuck am I going to survive in this place?She wasn't putting on a sweater or an hoodie so the cold was too much. It was like she was dumped into a freezer. Back in Nigeria, she was used to the whether that even if it was harmattan season and a little bit cold there, she enjoyed and loved it. Unlike some people that would still complain of cold.Let them come here and feel the kind cold I'm feeli
Amended Hearts 27— Meeting Martina.
England (Cookie)Cookie touched the hands and noticed the person was putting on gloves.But who could it be?She seriously had no idea."Tara!!" The person shouted and freed her eyes. She quickly spun around to see it was a lady, who was average in height. She looked older than Cookie. She had full lips, curly black hair and her curves were naturally flattery. The black coat and the properly ironed trouser that she was putting on made her look Elegant.She was smiling at Cookie. In Cookie's confused state of mind, she still noticed that the lady had on her face a contagious smile.

England (Cookie)"Are we going home?" Cookie asked her. She was getting tired because the ride was taking too much time than she had originally thought it would."Nope." Martina replied, popping the 'p'."Then...? where are we going to?" Cookie asked, feeling frustrated and disappointed at the same time. She really needed to rest. In other words, she was exhausted as hell.
Amended Hearts 29— The mall.

The clothes were damn expensive but Martina told her to pick some things, telling Cookie that the bills were on her.Cookie felt a certain kind of relief. Although, she wasn't going to pay anyway because Martina was the one who insisted that they should buy clothes for Cookie.Did I ask her? No? I didn't.Cookie conversed with her self.Cookie picked some clothes and check out some of them in the changing room. Cookie changed her clothes. The one she was putting on. She was now wearing head warmer, a white t-shirt
