DEAR ME🎁 THE PENULTIMATE 3

Mara rolled her eyes and made the sign of the cross. Worst exam yet, she fumed as she stood up and delivered her paper to the tall robust and unsmiling Mr Robert. Then she scanned the tense hall before walking down the aisle and out the door. She smiled when she saw Theodora looking out for her. She joined her and both of them embraced and whimpered. Leo soon joined them. A look in one another's eyes was enough to pass the message; the exam had been tough. "Does anyone care for ice cream?" Leo asked suddenly. Then their faces lit up and they strolled to the back of FASA hall where an icecream bicycle was standing near the popcorn box. "You're the best, Leo! Icecream is perfect for the celebration," said Theodora with a noisy sip. "It doesn't feel much like a celebration. Those questions were a perfect example of what I ordered versus what I got," Mara sighed. "Look on the bright side. We're done for the year and in a few days, we'l...

Nono Griffin Episode 1

 Nono Griffin😎

A Spin off 🤭

 _(From the maker of ✨Twelve Days to Valentine ✨)_ 


EPISODE 1

"Really?" Dr Griffin exclaimed unable to hide his excitement. He kept his glasses on but I could see through the composure. He was ecstatic! 😄

"Yes, sir," I said with a cool smile.

"That's great news. Congratulations, son!" This time, he happily stretched out his hand for me to shake. I gripped it with some uncertainty. It felt so strange with this happy professor. What of that stern manner I was so used to?

"You know what this means? Wedding rice!" Dr Griffin said with a jolly laugh. I laughed too. 😅

Good old Dr Griffin. 😌

"She said yes?" he asked.

"Of course, sir," I answered with a chuckle as I remembered the moment she had said that beautiful word. I reminisced and smiled warmly. Dr Griffin caught the look and winked at me. We laughed.

"I'm happy for you, Mr Ekrong. Your home is blessed," he said to my delight.

"Thank you, sir. I... We appreciate, Chenka and I," I replied.

He laughed. "Where is Mrs Ekrong? I wish she had come along. I would have loved to congratulate her personally," Dr Griffin said.

"Em, sir, she..."

"Daddy!"

The office door opened suddenly and a young lady walked in. She was slender and tall, probably 17 years of age. She had a nice complexion which was in between fair and dark. Her hair was braided and packed in a ponytail. Her face was pretty even as she frowned childishly and walked up to Dr Griffin who seemed upset.

"Daddy, I'm angry. I wanna quit school. All my lecturers are old and boring," the girl said as she sat on the handle of Dr Griffin's chair and held him around his neck.

Dr Griffin coughed uncomfortably. He said, "Chinonye, what did I tell you about coming to my office during work hours?"

"Daddy, call me Nono. I told you that's my name now. I can't have people calling me Chinonye. It's not stylish," the girl... Nono said without noticing Dr Griffin's mood change.

I cleared my throat in an attempt to stifle my laughter. She looked up at me as though she had just seen me. She flashed me a pretty smile and said, "Hello."

"Hi," I replied friendly.

"You must be Noah, my dad's favourite student. My daddy talks about you a lot..." she chirped.

"That will be all, Mr Ekrong. I'll have another meeting with you later on. Do greet Miss Chenka for me," Dr Griffin cut in.

"Alright, sir. Thanks for having me. Goodbye," I said to him.

"Bye-bye," Nono replied and waved at me. I grinned and left the office.

Poor Dr Griffin. 😂 I pitied him. He was so embarrassed.

"Did he ask of me?" my sweet Chenka asked as I joined her in the quadrangle of VC's office.

"He did," I said as I embraced her. I squeezed her waist a little and she pushed me away. I laughed.

"What did he say?" she asked as I held her hand and we walked towards the library.

"Congratulations, Mrs Ekrong," I said trying to mimick him.

She laughed. "Anything else?"

"Yes. I met Nono Griffin," I said and smiled at Chenka who gave me a curious look.

She asked, "Dr Griffin has a daughter?"

Inspired by Nono 🤭🙏

Mara took a deep breath. She fingered her mouse and pulled the cursor to the left side of the screen. She touched the icon, "Submit now." As usual, it was beeping rhythmically, copying the pounding heart beats of tense students who sweated over their exam questions. Mara smiled at the icon and flexed her fingers before she clicked on it for the last time, as a year one student. The air was fresh and sweet as she descended the stairs of Nnamdi Azikiwe library and stepped through the large door. She breathed it in and smiled. "Freedom," she mumbled. With her friend, she rushed to the front of the library where her other classmates were assembled. In the middle of the gathering was Steve, the class rep. Everyone looked at his grin in anticipation. The he opened his mouth. "No longer freshers!" Steve shouted with his knuckle thrust in the air and the students cheered. They caused quite a scene as they screamed, danced and sang, "One year don waka! We stil...

Featuring Agugua Anastasia Chiazokam Profile: Jacksonite, class of 2025. "Lights, camera, action!" Ifeanyi gave the call and his colleague leaned and peered into the camera while Ifeanyi looked ahead. Seated before the crew in PG building were two Jacksonites. Nick, the first, was the tall, dark and handsome leader of the 025 media team. He was the host of the show, Talk with 025. To fit into his role, he was dressed in his departmental uniform. Also, it was a Monday. Stasia however was dressed in black palazzo pants and a beautiful vintage shirt. Her hairdo was a bunch of colourful plaits packed in a ponytail. Her dark rimmed glasses rested on her pretty nose and her caramel complexion gleamed (especially at her forehead) as the light of the camera touched her face. To the camera, Nick smiled and said, "Hello, dear viewer and welcome to another session of the show, Talk with 025. I am your humble host, Nick. With me is a beautiful young woman who has travelled the ends ...

BATTLE OF AUTHORS 🗡️✒️ Contestant #4; Evergreen

A NIGHT OF FOREVER Anaelechi Miracle Smart Smart Anaelechi (Facebook) The Whatsapp status of all my classmates was covered with my engagement pictures, and all social media they belonged to wasn't exempted. I felt like I was in heaven as I admired my pictures consecutively. Even the viral pictures of Moses Bliss' engagement weren't compared to mine. I swam the ocean of ecstasy, hallucinating about different famous locations where my wedding would be held regardless of John's financial instability.   That night was as though there was a standstill on earth. It was a night but sleep never ran past my eyes, even after countless struggles for a nap, yet, my eyes were agape. Since there was nothing to do. I invaded the profile of some wedding fashionistas to glance at so many gowns to wear on my big day.  "God, soon, I will become a wife." I beamed a smile on each reminisce as I gave a screen kiss to John's picture.  It had been a year since I knew John who wor...
