Adjetey Nii Mants3.
It's been another successful school year and I couldn't wait to go to church to see all the fine fine girls at church, especially that shelly girl with the fine ass,That girl everyone has soo been trying to get her to bed. I stretched as I got out of our room and came out to the main compound where other tenants were   busily washing while others made food on a coalpot for their families.  My tummy rumbled as I caught the scent of Auntie Ameley's  akala and kooko. I went inside to ask mom for money but the eyes she gave me was enough to tell me that she was broke. I sadly went to  the kitchen to see if there was any food left from yesterday's meal. Sadly,there was none,and as I squeezed my face as if I had swallowed a bitter pill,my sister who was now coming from her morning shift knew immediately, what was wrong. I looked up at her with hope but got more sad when she raised up her hands at me in surrender. She didn't get much from work. I went over to Auntie Ameley's place and helped her to wash her bowls in the hope that I would get some of the kooko k3 Akala   to eat. I was not disappointed infact, I got enough to feed my rumbling stomach and that of my sister.  Imagine the joy on my sister's face when I handed her the food it was blissful. 

It's being two days since I came home from school,and all I have had to eat is Auntie Ameley's porridge,without which I would have starved to death and so you should have seen my face when I went over to her place and she told me she was not preparing porridge that day,luckily for me,my sister's boyfriend invited us to lunch and that was the first meal I had in the day. Telling you all these , you don't need a magician to know that my family was poverty stricken.
I turned the corner, as I got closer to Nii Ayi Kwei's house,I could smell the aroma of food which caused my mouth to water, immediately, I got there,praise the Lord,they were about to eat,and we Ghanaians been who we are,will share our littlest of food with a visitor no matter what, trust me my guy,they didn't have to ask me twice before I had already washed my hands and was ready for action.
So much for my hunger. I ate with them to the end and I waited to see if they were going to bring more but then everyone began washing their hands so I also got up to wash mine,after, Nii Ayi and I sat around playing ludu and  cat calling the girls who passed by.
As we were still in the game of ludu,I saw one of the girls in my vircinity,Shelly the girl from uptown who it was rumored had come to visit her parents here in chorkor. I quickly straightened down my shirt and told Nii to watch out for me while I made a move on the girl,I called her when she got close but she pretended not to have heard and passed by without a word, both Nii and I looked at each other,then he burst out laughing, I took a stone and almost hit him but he jumped and so I missed. Annoyance.

"Adjetey","Adjetey",I heard my name being mentioned as I got closer to the house,I quickly quickened my steps and was in the middle of the compound in no time,a lot of people where gathered in the compound around an entity I couldn't really see,as I got closer, I realised  it was the men of the house who had gathered around to play games as they always do. My mom pulled my ears and pulled me into the kitchen, "where did you go?",she asked as I looked down unable to look her in the eye,I don't want to say I hate my family,that would be hypocrisy but man!,I hate the state we were in. My mom pulled my ears harder as I ignored her and toyed with my collar,she left me standing there in the kitchen in tears. Why do mother's have to be soo annoying? ,I asked no one in particular, my sister who was at the other end of the kitchen came closer and buried my head in her  chest " Nof33n) baahi",she said as he wiped my tears,then and  there,I wish I was in a different family,who cared more about me. My mom didn't know how to give affection even in our poverty stricken position,my dad too was a bag of trouble,he would get drunk,and turn my mom into a punching bag,and when  we intervened,we became his cane, I hate my Dad with passion ,I mean which man today,in this present age,still beat their wives because of food,when it was not like he left enough money for food.
I cleaned the tears from my eyes and headed towards the room where I shared with my sister, there was barely enough room for the both of us,and I struggled to get to my bed,ten minutes later..................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
