“Yeo, yeo, yeo,
gimme the mic and lemme spit…I ‘m the coolest chic, the only pretty missy lanty
and I owe no one a dime. I gat ma swag on and I never back down. All haters
look up to me for direction…Haha, I’m living it with no regrets and that’s
moi!”
That was back in
the days in one of the best senior high schools when she was a teenager growing
up with all the wild ideas of rapping and making serious dance moves. She did
well though. For most girls of her age, she was very active and friendly.
I am talking about
my fresh, slim, chocolate, beautiful round-eyed friend who studies arts and is
grossly involved in fashion, walks with calculated, graceful steps and dares
talk when no one else does. I have not known her for so long but for the little
time that I have, I have seen a lot of attractive qualities about her.
She comes across
as core on the outside but behind the veil, I know there is that nature of a
quiet, shy, small girl always ready to have a good laugh. She could be a naughty
‘bug’ and a chatterbox sometimes but hey, I always tolerate her because she is
always interesting and fun-loving, bringing radiance where there is gloom. You
cannot be mad at someone who makes you laugh. That is the mark of a sweet
friend.
She offers advice like
a mother and sometimes I wonder if she is not smarter than her age.
Anxiety takes the
better part of her most of the time but she is learning to be patient these
days. Patience is a virtue every lady should have and I know she is working on
it.
She always strives
for greater achievements and never looks back despite unfavourable conditions. These
have kept her going all this while.
She cares, she
shares and she adores. I love her very much and of course “as a sister”.
All for you, B.A
