My friend 1
“Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are” mama never fails to tell me this proverb whenever Dora, my best friend comes around.
Mama never liked her, she will say Dora looks like a worldly person, “her eyes too sharp” mama will say.
“Mama, you don’t even know her like that, have you ever seen her doing anything wrong? I asked mama
” ehhh, must I see her do something first…stay away from this girl o,” Mama said holding her ears to show that ‘a word is enough for the wise?
I wonder why people always mistook Dora for a bad girl, is it because she is endowed? She is one of the beautiful girls in my community and she can be naughty atimes but she is not a bad girl.
“Hey girl, I saw Yusuf checking you out. Is there something you not telling me? Dora asked winking at me.
I blushed at the mention of yusuf..I have been crushing on him for God knows when. Yusuf a Hausa Christian guy that just moved a few blocks away from my house had the perfect body for a male model. I always find myself drooling ing at him anytime I passed at their house.
I go out even when I have nothing to do out. All I wanted was for him to notice me and become my friend at least.
” Dora, let’s go joor. You are making things weird ” I quickly dragged her with my head down as we walk past Yusuf and his brother.
“Tell him you like him na,” Dora said
“What? no no no…that will be demeaning na. Haba, I am not that desperate.”
“Ok let me help you tell him na, you know I can do anything for you” she said giving me a naughty smile.
“ah abeg o ,i no send you…no go use your big bum bum confuse am for me”
“Okay na madam lover girl” Dora teased me.
Dora has always had my back, she once attacks my ex Dave for breaking my heart. She is a drama queen and she sometimes scares me.
I want my friendship with Yusuf to flow freely. “He will definitely be mine one day”, i said in my mind as we walked to the saloon.

My friend 2
Soon Yusuf and I started greeting each other, I never failed to gist Dora about my progress with Yusuf. She could tell I was in love by the way I smile when I talk about him.
Yusuf and I became friends quickly and chemistry was perfect, even a stranger could tell we had a crush on one another.
Dora and I were preparing for our Jamb, so I always use that eveñing time to wait for Yusuf to walk us home, he was already a 200level student at Ahmadu Bello University. He stays off-campus with his cousin brother, since mama never let me hang out with guys, I always use the lesson time as an opportunity to spend time with Yusuf.
Dora had one rich business guy she was seeing, she hardly even stay for the classes, she always trust me to update her when next we meet.
My friendship with Yusuf got serious that I practically became his best friend. One even he pleaded to see me later at night, that he had something to talk to me about. Somehow I knew he was about to confess his feelings for me, so I rushed my chores at home and lied to mama about going to get a sanitary pad.
“Hey, I am glad you could make it,” Yusuf said, directing me to a chair.
“Anything for my best friend” I replied, giving him a shy look.
Yusuf told me he loved me and will love for me to be his girlfriend.
I nearly screamed out my lungs but maintained myself. This was like a dream come through, I didn’t hesitate to tell him how I felt too and I could tell from his expression that he was relieved that I felt the same.
We had our first kiss that night.
It was a memorable night for me, I went home and couldn’t sleep, I was already imagining the looks of our children…
Of course, I couldn’t wait to tell Dora about it the next day, as expected she was so happy for me. She teased me by calling me, Mrs.Yusuf.
“Abeg, tell me when you are ready to get intimate with him, so I can teach you some skills,” Dora said, demonstrating some funny s*x positions.
I let out a loud laugh and pleaded with her not to spoil me for my mama.
“True true, your eyes don tear…thats why my mama no like you” I told her, trying to clean my eyes.
“Forget your mama, whow did she give birth to you, if it’s not through the forbidden fruit” she said.
“Dora, gisting time is over..come and copy this note….
