You just have to accept it
And if you can't handle it

~Zoe~

"I'm pregnant? I Zoe Babajide is pregnant? I... I have a baby inside my tummy?"

I kept on saying out loud. To say I was shocked was an understatement of the century. I was flabbergasted, astonished but more importantly ashamed. I was supposed to be a virgin, I was supposed to graduate with my shoulders tall and high collection and award for keeping my virginity. Not like they school had that kind of category of award but still. I sigh knowing now that  all that was out the window with this baby in my tummy. The funny part is I don't know how it got there. Heck! I don't know who the fuck put it there and why? Why me? Why now? Of all times, it had to come crashing down on me in form of a baby.

"It's going to be okay, Zoe. You are going to have to be strong. So what if you have a baby in you, that doesn't mean it is the end of the world, huh. I know a good number of Americans, who gave birth while they were in high school and they still completed their education."

" oh shut up Fee! We are fucking Nigerians! so don't you ever compare my situation with them! It's an abomination to have a child while still in secondary school here and you know it!"

"Look I am just trying to cheer you up okay! This situation isn't as hopeless as it seems. We can overcome this."

"How the fuck are we supposed to do that? How? When we don't even know who the father is." I said yelling at Nafeesat. I was currently in her room that wasn't as big and as spacious as mine but it will do just fine to fit both of us.

I was soo ashamed of myself that I didn't bother going home. At least not with a devastating news like this. How did I let this happen? Why the fuck did I even let it happen to begin with. It's like one minute I'm the Queen and the next,  I am thrown into a Dystopian world with no throne insight. I sighed feeling sad and dejected but most of all, drained.

"I am sorry  Fee. I am so sorry I'm dragging you into this." I said with my face full of tears. I never wanted my last year in secondary school to end like this. What happened to all the much-talked-about glitter and glamour that comes with the titled SS3 student.

I  should have known better than to believe in a bloody lfe. But  here I'm wailing my eye out, bearing a child I want nothing to do with. I continued wailing and crying my eyes out profusely apologizing to Nafeesat. She had to put up with my shit and endured it for far too long.

"I am so sorry Fee I never wanted any of this to happen. I should have listened to your advice. I should have listened to you. I am so sorry Nafeesat please"

"It's okay Zoe, it's okay. Crying isn't going to make the baby in you go away. We just have to figure out a way to take care of the baby when she comes to the world, because abortion is not an option"

"Sighs. I know. I don't think mom would like that either. Oh My God. Mom and Dad are going to be so disappointed when they find out. What are we going to do? What am I going to tell them Feeeee! Oh My Gawd!!!"

"Calm down, we'll figure something out okay. You crying isn't going to solve anything so please dry your tears."

Too ashamed to do anything I ended up crying myself to sleep without eating dinner or anything thing else for that entire day. I was hoping to starve the baby to death but we all know how that went. I woke up at 4 am the following morning and emptying half of the pot of jollof rice Nafeesat had cooked for her whole family as breakfast. And I did do all that damage without even brushing my tooth or taking my bath. There wasn't much Nafeesat's parents could do when they realized I was pregnant and I raided their kitchen as a result of me not eating throughout yesterday.

So much for trying to murder the baby.

"Oh well, boo hoo I don't see you trying to get rid of it." I responded to my subconscious who I have been doing a good job at ignoring for quite some time now.

Due to my condition, Nafeesat's parents chased me out of the house, making sure I didn't have access to their home anymore. I couldn't blame them, they didn't want me influencing their daughter negatively.  Knowing I couldn't go back there and it was only via WhatsApp I could keep in touch with Nafeesat, I began making the walk of shame back home on foot. 

After walking for 3 hours and taking different wrong turns at every corner, I almost got run over by a truck driver who for some reason was kind enough to give me a lift home. While I was in his truck I was absent mindedly listening to the radio and I heard about this cool animation-making competition. Now, this isn't my thing, my thing is to boss people around and make a fool out of everyone at every little opportunity I get.

Now that I'm going to be a mother, thinking about it was even scary but I had nothing to lose. This animation-making competition is willing to pay a lot of money so I thought I might as well go for it. Even if it means pretending to be my hideous selfish twin sister and passing off some of her works as mine. Anything to get me the money I needed to take care of this pest of a baby in my tummy and my father's health. From the looks of things it's like the more we plunge money, the more my dad doesn't respond to treatments. I can't have him dying on me, not now and not anytime soon.

I ended up getting home earlier than expected. At 10am, I walked into the compound. After finding the courage to say thank you to the truck driver. It was something I rarely said but I just had to do it, just this once and I was even more grateful he didn't take advantage of my situation. I had cooked up a cock and bull story that my mom chased me out of the house for loving a Hausa boy and now I wanted to get to my aunt's place.

Seriously lying your way out of a sticky situation, when will you ever change.

Oh shut up. I don't see you coming up with brighter ideas on ways to get us out of there.

I chided my subconscious and she instantly grew quiet on me while I surveyed the house to see if anyone was at home. I was right one was home, mom was probably still in the hospital with dad and my older brother must have gone back to school and Chloe was probably somewhere in the school library since today is Friday.

Before settling down Or taking a shower. I called Nafeesat to tell her I was home, and I may have found a solution to my problem. I explained to her the animation competition and how the price was 5,000 dollars, all for a small price of submitting Chloe's works as my own. She disapproved telling me to ask Chloe first but knowing my sister I was certain she would be cool with me pass off her works as my own and if she wasn't, then she could go suck a dick or something.

Damn you are callous. How could you wish to do something this hurtful—

Oh, I swear to Gawd subconsciousness if you speak one more time!!!

I practically yelled at my subconscious and that did the tricks to shut her up. I when through Chloe's things and It didn't take up to 3mins before I found her drawings. I quickly picked at random 4 of the best which where

I logged into her system with the password JESSA  all in capital letters. It was soo like her to make her English middle name her password. That was so predictable but then again it hit me that I had done the same thing too.  I groaned realize that there wasn't much of a difference between us, we both made our English middle name as the password to our laptop. I made a mental note to change it later but first, I Need to submit this picture for the competition.  Once that was done I logged out and headed back to my room which checking my WhatsApp messages. After finally responding to messages that came in two weeks Ago and some from two days ago, I finally settled in bed to respond to Chloe's messages

I smiled to myself at her response. I most certainly love the fear I was able to inflict but that's Didn't solve my hunger as my stomach growled loudly. I glared at it completely forgetting there was a baby in there. I sighed loudly getting out of the bed I just got comfortable in to go make noodles downstairs. I met mom in the kittens making something and I was glad I wouldn't die of hungry I couldn't cook talk less of boil water for the life of Me.

"Hi mom! Good afternoon."

I greeted her not wanting to keep watching her like a creep. Startled, she responded to say

"Ahhh! Jesus! Chloe! You scared me to death."

"No mom it's Zoe."

I corrected her with a slight frown on my face. It still baffles me that she still couldn't tell the difference because Chloe and I. Even our gateman and driver can tell the difference why can't she. My thoughts were answered by her response and she did have a point.

" Well, that's rather odd considering you greeted and your home at past 5. Zoe is everything okay?"

" peachy! everything is fine. I just thought I'd come home early to help you cook.  you look stressed out."

" you? Want to help me cook?"

She asks me rhetorically like I have suddenly turned into an alien for planet Jupiter. Subtly raising my brows at her I responded.

" yea, I mean Isn't that what a good daughter would do?"

I said bitting my bottom lips with a slight chuckle. Mom's response was the opposite of what I expected.

" sure, a good daughter, I mean she would but you, not so much."

" ouch! Mom!! You know what it doesn't matter. I'm changing that by helping you cook anyways. Well at least try to help since I am basically useless in the kitchen."

With that, I helped, starched that made a huge mess instead in the process of trying to help  prepare, Chicken salad to go with the coconut rice.
Something that I expected to take an hours took only and 5 hours and some minutes thanks to the mess I made . While Mom and I had dinner, I said a silent prayer in my head -something I never actually did consider the fact that I wasn't a religious person. Oh well, desperate times call for desperate measures.

" so umm. The thing is, I haven't been feeling too well lately. And well I went to the hospital and they asked if I haven't seen my period for the past couple of months. And —"

"Wait a minute. Are you? Are you trying to say what I think you are saying?? No no no you can't be. Zoe, you can't be—"

"Pregnant? Yeah, I'm pregnant mom. I am so sorry. I am sorry it had to come at a time like this when we don't even have enough funds to take care of dad's health."

Mom looked at me let like she was sure I was an alien from Jupiter with 13 heads. Her expression mirror that of shock angry and sadness. She was completely immobile for 15mins not even a blink and I wasn't sure if she was breathing either. Since I couldn't hold my breath for that long I breathed out saying with tearing slowing blurring my vision.

"mom? Please, I'm so sorry. say something."

"Get your hoodies we are going to the hospital. And for the life of you, you had better pray that this is some prank you were paid to do."

I sniffed and blinked not wanting to let the tears fall, at least not in front of her. Without uttering another word I left for my room to get changed into something more appropriate making sure to grab one of my blue hoodies. It has the lettering boldly written on it which says

A princess Doesn't cry

How ironic I thought as tears were not flowing freely from my eyes. pulling the hoodie over my head and came back downstairs to meet mom as we both left for the hospital.

~ 𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐨𝐞 ~

"Oh gosh I and sooooo exhausted"

I exclaimed the minute I entered the house. I  was too hungry to even changed out of my uniform but I knew I had to. So that's what I did before hitting the shower and heading back to the kitchen in a baggy gray hoodie, sweatpants, and flip-flops to go with it. It was 7:10 pm already and I had already called mom to tell her I was on my way home but now I needed to text her to know if I'd pass out due to hungry or there is something for me to eat.

Well good just what I needed, wasting no further time I dished out my food sat on the kitchen counter, and ate till I was all filled up.  Satisfied I keep the remaining inside the freezer. I had done a whole lot of reading today all I wanted to do at the moment was chill but then something dropped in my mind.

Something I've been meaning to do all week. I raced back to my room with my phones tightly in my hand. Popping down on my study Table To work on my laptop, now that I'm here something felt odd. My sit felt warm and so was my laptop but now wasn't the time to duel on something odd. I needed to submit my entire for the  3D animation completion and that's why I was sitting in front of my laptop going through their site.  I found a place to put my enter, but the minute I had selected my
Entire and I submitted, it was immediately rejected. I was shocked wondering why it was rejected but I read the message that popped up on my screen and it was then it dawned on me.

Zoe!!!

So that's why I was feeling odd, I should have known when she said 'knowing I have access to your room' meant she was going to ruin my life again. I groaned in utmost frustration reading the message out loud one more time to my understanding.

I am sorry, but you have been rejected. Due to you bearing the same surname as a contestant who had previously imputed some entries.

If I was angry before then I was furious now. How could she, how dare she! I screamed angry frustrated and but mostly sad. I tried again but with a Difference surname but they log me out thinking I was a fraud and that was the last straw. I angrily grabbed my phone to play music to calm me down, but immediately the song Bad Behavior by Mabel came on I couldn't stop the surge of angry that cursed Though my vain. like all, I could see was vengeance. Stalking into her room like the psycho she had turned me into I swung my foot up and kicked down her door with full force.

"I am  soo tired of pretending where is my happy ending..."

I said with a tears slowly streaming down my eyes, I walked further into her room my phone still blasting the Song in my pocket. I smile maniacally bringing out a poker knight I never failed to carry where ever I went, even If I didn't need it.  I flipped out the sharp edge saying slow and steady like Zoe was right there to listen to me.

"I never thought myself as mean...
I always thought I could make a difference. Too bad because right now, my only interest is showing my twin sister that I can be mean in my reign will be endless."

Without caution, I stabbed the bed repeatedly tearing the bedsheet alongside the bed. Moving to her cabinet of Clothes I threw it all on the floor ruining her clothes one by one. Especially all her favorite clothes that she keeps in a special cabin. Moving to her shoes I made sure my pocket Knife did Justice to that too. Wasting no further time I addressed hey dressing table breaking everything I could find on it including the dressing table itself.

"I followed all the rules,
I drew inside the lines,
I never asked for anything that wasn't mine.
I waited patiently for my time,
But when it finally came,
They called her name!
And now I feel this overwhelming pain!
I mean it's in my veins!
I mean it's in my brain!
My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train!
I'm kinda like a perfect picture, with a broken frame
I know exactly who to blame"

I sang that past slow and steady. Just as she had ruined my life, my dream, I made sure That her room mirrored my emotions, all the emotions I had bottled up about her for the past God knows how long. I know you would probably think I should be the bigger person and not act out like this but with a twin sister like Zoe, there is only so much of a bigger person you can be. The song was on repeat and it was my fuel to keep recking and ruining Zoe's room including her precious little diary. The only thing that I didn't touch was her school books and laptop. Every other thing in her room was ruined and I was finally satisfied. With nothing else to ruin I danced to the song that was still on repeat, leaving her room in the chaotic mess I had brought upon it.

A/N
Okrrrrrrrr
Looks to me like someone is finally letting her villain side show or what do you all think???

First Zoe is pregnant now and now her mother knows. What do you think Mrs. Babaijide is going to do to Zoe?

What do you guys have to say about Nafeesat though she is such a great friend too bad Zoe never listens to her.

But what will you have done if you were Nafeesat and your best friend ate half of the food you cooked for breakfast?
