"Okay I get a lot of comments from dark skinned queens that they get bullied and the first question that comes to my mind is, why? Why do you condone it? Like why do you think Beyonce sang Brown Skinned girl and not any other skin? No offense to my light skinned followers, technically we are all black people sef by virtue of being African, so nothing spoil.

So own your color queens, stay beautiful and I know y'all are very much interested in my skin care routine, so apart from the fact that I spa regularly, you need to learn to change those bed sheets, ehn, change it sister, those acne are not going to disappear on their own, amen?

And then my last secret, I use Coco herbal soap, look at it na a. Amaka, don't you know quality when you see it, you know I don't hype nonsense normally. So this baby is going for a cheap price of 5,000 naira.

Joy trust me that your organic skin care plug read  mass communication, she doesn't know anything about your skin, to avoid stories that touch, y'all should tap the link on my bio and buy this soap.

Baby girl gat to go now,byeee"

I ended the video and dropped the phone before letting out a sigh. Being a social media influencer was hard, like really hard. The only thing that made it better was the fact you get some money and fame,else, creating contents could be really difficult.

I dragged out my mini makeup box and started to work on my face while staring at myself in the large vanity mirror.

So basically my room was painted a tad brown and white. Quite spacious with a walk in closet just by the right wing of the room and the window that was overlooking other houses.

There weren't much things saved for my bed and reading table and the vanity mirror that was larger than anything.

A plush purple rug that was so fluffy to lie on was at the center of the room and then a framed picture of myself and my friends were on the wall and the second picture was a framed picture of my dad,mum and myself. Only child stuff,I would have probably had siblings if mum didn't die from cancer.

I put a video call across to the only two friends I have in the world. Like the whole wide world.

"Hey b" Ella's voice came on, Ella was a dark skinned queen, I was lighter than her and then she has this V face and piercing eyes that made you shiver if you lied and damn, Ella was tall and pretty, at least I know the number of guys that always asked me to talk to her on their behalf.

A law student and fucking rich dad. She was currently riding in her Bentley, yes,a fucking Bentley. She was wearing her natural look,a white pinafone that I was so sure she had a black skirt underneath. Law was boring.

"You are already riding to school?" I asked as I stared at her human hair wig that I was sure would cost an arm.

"Yeah, I have classes in like–" She checked her wrist watch " In like 30 minutes"

"Good morning to you two" Chi Chi finally decided to grace us with her presence,was that a hair bonnet on her head? I mean we both had a general class in like 30 minutes.

"Chi Chi don't tell me you are just waking up sha" Ella eyed her shaking her head bemused by the  light skinned human.

"I'm tired na." And then as though a light switch was turned on, she screamed as she jumped off from her bed.

"Guyyyy,this new semester Jessica is going to cry blood shaaa, I mean you beat her to win most beautiful student second time in a row,ahhh"

She was doing some funny moves that made me giggled.

"And then went on to win Pulse Influencer of the year,who dey check em? Who won do the maths?"

Again,this girl turned around to shake her massive ass that made Ella start laughing too despite trying to keep a stoic face.

Chi Chi was really crazy. She was the shortest in the trio,light skinned with a massive backside that those engineering boys wouldn't let go off. Yeah,Chi was an engineering student for someone crazy as she was. She was nicknamed the Kim K of her department and man,she was living up to it.

"Chi Chi why are you still in your night wears?" Ella asked again in a quiet voice that screamed so much authority.

"Ella leave me na" She rolled her eyes at the girl who had turned the steering, probably changing lanes. It was then I paid attention  to the song playing from her stero. Different Size by Burna boy and Victony.

"Burna boy can sing shaa" Chi Chi said with a dreamy voice,her hands around her chest with a loopsided smile.

"I swear, his album is pure fire, like every song of his on that album is crazy"

" I agree also" Ella drummed her fingers on the steering " But I just feel like Nigerian singers really have to stop idolizing ass and breast, it's becoming irritating, like all you ever celebrate in a woman is how big her ass is,my personal favorite however is whiskey, I love how he talks about the plight of Port Harcourt residents and then for my listening pleasure,I just like the one featuring Popcaan."

Myself and Chi Chi stared at each other at the end of her speech and bursted into laughter.

"What,why are you laughing?" She asked, confusion marred on her features as she tucked her hair behind her ears.

"Ella,small opportunity to give your opinion you have written thesis on the album" Chi Chi was saying while giggling and Ella bit her lips as she looked outside her window. She was struggling not to laugh.

"Better go and have your bath and stop wearing that ugly hair bonnet" Ella savaged.

Oh well, I came for only the violence.

"You are mad" Chi Chi found her voice and ended the call, myself and Ella was thrown into a fit of laughter. Chi Chi the drama queen.

"Do you think she's angry?"I found myself asking Ella. I was done with my makeup, damn, I looked hot I had to admit,Beyonce has got nothing on me.

"Nahhh, she's just a drama queen as usual and even if she is, she'll come around soon, if we continue to engage her in the discussion, she may need up not coming to school today" Ella smiled confidently.

And then my door was thrown open and I turned around to see Ruky at the door, holding her broom and some kind of anger engulfed me, like a lava trying to erupt from the earth crust.

"So are you going to stand at the door like a goat or are you going to come in and shut the fucking door!? " I yelled at her and she rushed in immediately. Closing the door so fast that I feared the hinges would come off.

"You must be mad!Do you want to break my door!"

"Sorry ma" She whispered,her head bent low.

"It's your audacity for me honestly, weren't you supposed to clean this room since morning? You even had to barge into my room abi " I chuckled

"You'll soon lose this job that you have, rubbish" I eyed her while she did nothing but stand still, God, these people really know how to get on my nerves.

I turned around and met Ella staring at me quietly with a look of disapproval marred on her face.

"Don't even preach to me abeg" I held out my hand to her. The dark skinned girl only looked outside the window and killed her engine, seems she was already in school.

"You know what's right Alora Kosisochukwu Anthony, see you in school" She said dismissively and then ended the call.

Wait, she just hung up on me and why was she calling my full name out on a Monday morning?

Emmanuelle Chris can be annoying!
