Chapter 10: NGOZI


    Two yearster, Ngozi is on her way to school she felt very troubled cause she just moved to another


    school, no one ever liked her at her former they would always call her "Igbo dumb girl" cause she was


    one of the few Igbo in her school. Ngozi uniform was ironed and she hoped for the best as a normal kid


    would, she goes to the back seat and settles there, no one was seating beside her until three other girls


    sitting in the front walk up to her. Ngozi stared at them in admiration, they wore essories with their


    uniforms.


    "Are you okay?" The ck skinned girl in the middle talks very calmly and concerned. Ngozi stammers


    a bit, she felt unsecured she only wore her green and white uniform with a typical ck sandal.


    "I''m fine." She gulps, the girl standing on the left grabs Ngozi hand and drags her out of her chair.


    "Thene and sit with us in the front." The girl says, Ngozi nervously chuckles and was feeling a bit


    better, she brought out her amulet she was keeping in her pocket and wears it around her neck.


    Getting to school, Ngozi goes to sit beside the girls they made sure to take her with them anywhere she


    goes so she won''t feel alone, they genuinely cared about her. After settling in the ssroom, a young


    light skinned boy called Chris walks in and sits beside Ngozi, he admired her amulet and tries to touch


    it.


    "Your amulet is nice." He says as he moves his hand close to the amulet, Ngozi hits his hand with hers


    and tells him to back off.


    "That''s not nice at all." Ngozi says, they both shake hands.


    "I''m Chris." He smiles. Ngozi chuckles happy she is already making friends.


    "I''m Ngozi."


    Ngozi, Chris and the girls suddenly became a group, they did everything together and everyone knew


    them. Ngozi knew more about herself as she continued hanging out with them, she joined a female


    football team and participated in other sports. She lived her fullest life and have never felt this kind of


    happiness in her life.

    Two yearster, one particr day Ngozi gets back from school exicted she passed her maths test


    while most didn''t do well. She walks into a 3bedroom bungalow house, her father Samson a huge man


    sits on a chair watching tv.


    "Good afternoon Dad." She greets him, Ngozi didn''t bother to show him her test score he never


    actually cared or bothered to ask they both weren''t close, when Ngozi was given birth to she didn''t live


    with him rather she was with Adanna. Samson said he never had time to take care of anyone and he


    was always busy but now that Adanna is dead he has to take responsibility.


    "How was school?" Samson''s voice was very deep, Ngozi is shocked by his question hehad never


    asked her before.


    "It was fine." She quickly responds hoping to finally have a conversation with him.


    "Why don''t I help you with your uniform?" Samson stands up and moves behind Ngozi, he grabbed her


    around her waist and puts his body closer to her back.


    "Don''t tell anyone dear." He says quietly, he puts his hand around her neck and starts choking her,


    Ngozi is confused about what''s going on and a flood of tears rushed down from her eyes. She had no


    one to call to help her all she could do was keep quiet.


    The next morning, Ngozi is a mess her hair isn''t done, he uniform is rough and dirty. She runs to the


    back seat, her friends quickly run towards her tofort her.


    "Is everything okay Ngozi?" One of them says, she stares at them without answering all she could see


    was her father''s face, sheshes out at them.


    "Leave me alone!" Ngozi yelled, the girls quickly run off not to cause a scene. She couldn''t trust


    anyone, if her own Father could have done such terrible thing to her what could other people do?


    For weeks Samson does the same thing to Ngozi without feeling any guilt, most times when he is done


    with he''ll always tell her that. "If I''m going to be taking care of you then I can do anything that I want


    with you." He wouldn''t stop and he''ll always tell her to learn new styles even though she couldn''t grasp


    what he meant. One night after Samson is done with Ngozi, she goes into a state of shock she couldn''t


    move her body and tears were flooding down from her eyes. She wished she had a good father who


    would be there for here and take care of her that was her only wish at that present moment. Her amulet


    suddenly starts glowing, a wave of wind hits her clearing her wet eyes and face, a white baby gori is


    suddenly standing in front of her.


    "You summouned me." He says and bows down to her, Ngozi opens her mouth wide she was about to


    shout at first but felt it was best she didn''t alert Samson.


    "Who are you?" Ngozi wasn''t scared of the gori rather she felt it was amazing.


    "I''m your friend and let me just tell you that I''ll always be there for you." The gori says, Ngozi sits on


    the floor and the gori sits beside her, she chuckles and after a very long time never felt alone.
