As I approached the estate, it felt like there was a gap—a disconnection between me and my emotions. I could feel them slipping away from me, and as the familiar gate came into sight, it became really hard to get a grasp on them. There was this wave of exhaustion that washed over me, engulfing me in a way that brought tired tears to my eyes.
I breathed softly in relief when I honked loudly and the gatekeeper opened up at once. I drove into the compound and pulled over in the garage. I turned off the engine, grabbed my bag and got out of the car. The guard was trying to greet me but I didn't spare so much as a glance in his direction before walking into the house.
My eyes snapped to the kitchen entrance when I heard footsteps. Mama Heather's bright eyes landed on me but her eyes soon softened with worry and I found myself quickening my pace so that I could get out of her sight on time.
"Shakira," She called out to me.
"Mama Heather, I can't do this right now. Abeg." I still didn't look at her, I just kept heading for the stairs. I could tell that she could pick up on the tiredness that oozed from my words.
"Are you okay?"
"I am fine!" I snapped, irritated as I ascended the staircase. Without casting a glance backwards, I headed for my room.
I kicked the door open and threw my bag somewhere in the room. For a fleeting moment, my mind wandered back to how difficult it was for me to concentrate on the exam questions, and how I struggled to answer the few I could. I knew without a doubt that if I had a C, the teacher just wanted to give me a pass.
My clothes suddenly felt too stuffy for me and I worked my fingers around the buttons of my shirt, ridding my body of it. My skirt and undies went off next but I paused mid-way when my phone beeped. I rolled my eyes and went back to the floor where I dropped my bag. I snatched it off the floor and retrieved my phone.
