Today life will mean everything to me, I'll live and I'll smile just like any other girl my age. But I am the last of my kind or so I think, the scariest monsters are not the ones we see in our nightmares but those that dwell within us. My name is Dela and these are my stories.
Story so far Dela's ďŹ rst day at the peachman college and she already feels like she's stepping into a vast and complex world, together with her new found friends Sandra, Simon and Josh she's willing to take the chance in exploring it. Leaving Port-Harcourt to Eko City to settle with her dad, she's about to begin a journey discovering more about herself; just like looking through your own REFLECTIONS.

--just like memories, they are always there to remind you of the change.
A wise man once said that life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. I guess he was right just like staring at your own image through the mirror.
I'll miss mum--
--I'll miss port-Harcourt and every other thing I wish I had in it--
everything
except for the nightmares
They hunt me every night; always there to wake me.
I feel every pain they cause me like I was there---like it had already happened.
Deelllaaa!!
This is Sandra, the closest to a friend I've got around here Met her online--
--helped me with admission into the school Bye dad!
Girl you're late!
You must be wondering about that Nissan 2012 350 customized - Z model she's got, right? Don't worry she's no celebrity nor superstar---she just happens to be the daughter of the late Dr. lary abina
an influential and renowned Neurosurgeon both in ghana and Beyond.
Nobody wants to be late for their first day at Peach.
Mr. Mike Johnson; he might look old but I know my dad, he's everything but old
Good luck!
A short nick for Peach man College
P eachMan College
My first day at school and the semester had already gone half way.
Funny.
This is it dear.
Prof. Albana James, but seriously what is it with professors and beards?
Sandra abina, you're late for my lectures again?
So much for a first impression--
--if eyes were guns I would be probably dead now. hmm, who's she?
No you dumb @ss! The other one.
Sandra of course?
New girl, I think I've seen her before.
yeah, in your dreams.
I know I dozed off much of the English lessons back there but I really have to act normal-Guys! Meet Dela Dela, this is Josh and Simon, my buddies.
--I'm interacting with people now.
hmmm She's really cute
Shhh! Shut up for once in your life.
Hey
Guess my first word today josh and Simon are very nice and friendly people even though we don't belong to the same discipline-but josh's trying to be an jerk right now
Let her be you pervert
C'mon dear, just a welcome kiss
don't worry dear, they don't bite.
Anything you need baby, we've got this whole school covered, tour guide, news, politics, lunch dates, fraternities
speaking of fraternities--
NOW WHAT? Behind you
Remember those graffiti* that were earlier mentioned;
Templars
Huh! Templars
now it's beginning to make sense to me. But I don't want to talk about it now. Guys, don't stare, you're staring
who are they?!
They're called Black Templars---You see that one with dreads?
That's Mobutu; their leader
and that girl over there, they call her Slim; their pointer!
Pointer?
The fiercest fraternity in Peach, and you don't want to mess with these guys; just like walking down a dark alley alone in the night, where every choice you make is wrong, and your waiting for something to reach from the shadows and pluck your eyes out.
She's like the hit girl; she's the one that takes the hits.
What a crazy bitch she is
what about him?
Now who do we have now?
To be frank, he's totally gorgeous, but that's not the reason I can't take my eyes off him
He's very sexy, but he's a totally weird dude. No one knows even his name.
No! Weird like witchcraft,
Yeah, you know the rich kid with an attitude
They say he can make one disappear with just a touch.
humm?
That's very strange for a guy ripped to his teeth, I don't believe it.
You know when you walk past a cemetery and there's this silence, that's him. That guy is bad news believe me.
Seriously?
heheheheheheheh
Interesting, he looks very dangerous and strange but also very familiar,
I just feel this intense connection, but I don't know why but I think am about to.
LATER
Oh, did I tell you about the Dukes
a band of triplets; their music is awesome.
Yeah, I also feel like I've been walking for a year now.
gosh!, it's really been a long time I trekked this long
This is getting very uncomfortable, and the chat wasn't helping--
No! Something's not right--
--I really feel like ditching her here right Wait!!
Don't move-- Stay where you are now.
What?
--I can feel this one
C'mon girl, It's just a rabbit--
Dela! What's wrong? --wait, how did--
No! That's not what I saw,--
--that's more like it!
! ! ! K EEE ERRR
This is not good,
Nnghh!
Now this! This is not good
Hissssss!
this is not ordinary constrictor; looks like something that just escaped from a secret lab or something
Get off!!
Oh My! What the?! --
Who who are you?
Where the hell did he come from--
My name is Davex--
Oluwale Davex
Sandraa! Sandraa!!
how did you know... How is
Heeellllllp!!!! Somebody Help me!
This is not the ideal picture I would paint for a first day; But now I see; and that is why he seems so familiar---Those eyes --I have seen him before--
In my dreams.
