Chapters of Adam (Shola's Tale)

Shola was from a broken home. She had no idea what true love meant. A divorce meant living two separate lives. One with her mom and one with her dad, that was suppose to be the case. However, Shola's tale was different, she was tossed around like the dice in a game of ludo.

Her parents were busy people, busy still living their own lives, moving on since a divorce is not a merry experience. Today, she was with her paternal aunt or uncle, tomorrow, she will be with her maternal aunt or uncle. No stability. Moving around gave her lots of experience, it was not a splendid experience. Her aunts and uncles were just family by blood but not family by heart. They had a trade mark of wickedness. A mark that Shola often thought should be stamped on their body like a tatoo.

As a teenager, your first experience of Adam starts in school when puberty hits you. Shola's heaven was a boarding secondary school, She still had to deal with mean humans. People who tagged themselves senior students and made the junior class the peasants. The senior students were the bourgeois in her boarding school. Her school was not a random aje butter school where students just learn, play, have fun and vacate. Her school was one that instilled discipline into the students, wanted or unwanted. It was one of the core values of the school and what the school was known for. No one talked about the standard of education. As far as the students were well behaved. It was an achievement for the school.

Her first term in school was tedious. Adapting to a new hostile environment was like a fresh injury. Shola adapted fast, her new environment could not to be compared to the one outside the walls of her almighty school. The seniors were little monsters compared to the giant monsters she had at home. She had no right to complain like the other junior students. She felt this boarding school was a blessing in disguise. First term passed, the second and third term passed and JS two came.

A year of secondary school brutality and all JS 2 students including Shola felt they were now strong enough for their school system.

Puberty appeared like a spirit in JS two. Shola's body started to take full shape, her breast started forming and the major one came. The one that parents were afraid of, the one that made them tell their daughters "You are now a woman o, do not let a boy touch you, if a boy touches you, you would get pregnant". When she became matured, she wondered why most parents told a lie because they were too scared to say the truth and educate their children on sex education.
Shola's first attraction to an Adam was in JS 2.... To be continued
