THE UNEARTHED AFRICAN BEAUTY.

CHAPTER ONE: SHEILLA,THE VILLAGE GIRL.

In the outskirts of Kakamega town,on the southeast of it, lies a village called Ebusia. It's in from this village that this simple looking girl, Sheilla,comes. Her parents are simple-minded villagers who doesn't know much about the development of major towns in these modern world. They simply know that a lady is supposed to dress conservatively and be reserved.

As such, they raised their daughter, Sheilla, in a holistic manner as they saw fit. Since young, she developed a strong affinity with big dresses that seemed out of place when compared to those town girls that are proactive in many aspects.To make matters worse, Sheilla had a timid personality since young. It was common place for her to let go of the things in her hands, making them fall on the ground and break whenever she was in the presence of other individuals aside from her parents.

Fellow village girls used to laugh at her as though they were the most perfect individuals created by the Supreme Being. The most vulgar one of them all was by no mistake, Faith. This lady is a girl hailing from a village tycoon family that owned the only posho mill in the village. As such, she had so many friends who were used to ass-kiss her. She was used to swimming in the flattering flowery words that her ass-kissers told her each and every day. Seeing that Sheilla was a girl from the most humble family in the Ebusia village and that she had no one to depend on when bullied,became her target for sidelining and bullying.

Sheilla knew deep down that Faith didn't like her and that she didn't stand a chance to be liked by her. So, she did her best to avoid Faith and her coolies and at the same time,tried her best in performing well in her secondary studies. Yes, Sheilla was an avid learner at one of the most prestigious highschools in Kakamega town by virtue of scholarship. She had initially outdid herself by performing brilliantly in her primary exams. That way, she got enrolled in Buhungu highschool.

As fate would have it, her natural village nemesis who had fallen head over heels in love with failing in her studies, Faith,also got enrolled in the same highschool.

On the enrollment day, Faith, who was with her parents on the waiting bay, saw Sheilla sitting in a far conner with her downcast expression . She sneered eerily and then sauntered over."Yo!Isn't this the best performer,uglie?" She asked in a provocative manner. Sheilla just gave her a timid look then hung her head low. "Hey!You b*tch, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf or are you taking me for a fool?" ' Sorry.... Fa....I..th,. b..ut.i ne..ver meant to ...do that. ple..ase..leave me alone.' Sheilla said with a shivering time. "Hahaha!!! Leave you alone? Who do you think you are? Some deity? Let me tell you,as long as I'm the same school as you, you're bound to suffer heavy losses. In fact, starting today noontime, you must bring me lunch or else......!" The demoness crossed her fingers across her neck in a slitting gesture before turning around and going back to her parents' side.

Soon, It was Sheilla's turn to be admitted. She went through her procedures smoothly and then she was shown to her class and cubical. Coincidentally,she was placed in the same cubical with her natural nemesis. In fact, Faith's bed was an upper bunker,just above hers. For the first time Sheilla felt like cursing the school as a whole.

Despite that, Sheilla persevered since she knew that she couldn't do anything about it. She went to join the rest of her fellow newbies and were taken for an orientation tour in the school vicinity by one of the teachers. It could be seen that Buhungu highschool was indeed a school for the 'cool-kids' since it had a grandiose ambiance and a down to earth girl like her wasn't used to such a luxury. Her timidity didn't allow her to touch the grass lawn leave alone talk to the cleanly dressed fellow students next to her. She seemed out of place with her tattered borrowed uniform. She wished the orientation could end fast enough so that she could go back to class and burry her head in her books.

During the orientation, the teacher guide patiently answered all of the questions that were posed to her without any hesitation or discrimination. This made Sheilla release a sigh of relief as the teacher's amiability made her blend in. She had thought that the teachers would talk to her in a condensation not knowing that they were taught not to discriminate anyone.

But even so, there was one person who was livid with anger. she had wished for Sheilla to be sidelined by the teachers but she ended up being amorous with them. This made her gnash her teeth in anger." hmph! Just you wait!" She waved her little fist at Sheilla's back in a sissy manner. The teacher finally took them back to their respective class and told them the do's and the don'ts of the Buhungu highschool. She also gave them an introductory manual that contained their code of contact while in school. Before going back to her office, madam Emily told the class that she will be the class teacher and that the next time she came she'll be choosing a class prefect and class monitor. The students were immediately happy and most of them started rounding up the others and asking for the their support. Once the teacher left, the class became a chaotic mess.

While the rest of the students were in a delinquent state, Sheilla was quietly reading the introductory manual. Before long, her tranquility was disturbed rudely by the usual 'bossylady'. When Sheilla raised her head to look at the intruder,she was met with an icy-cold gaze of Faith. Faith glaringly told her that if she wanted to have good days ahead, she would better vote her as the class representative. Sheilla was quickly frightened and ducked her head down like a rabbit before slowly nodding her head. Faith went to another target of hers in satisfaction. She happily whistled a tune of a so g that only she knew about .

At lunch break as promised, Faith came looking for Sheilla with an entourage that she had just founded. The girls had carried favor with her by giving her many gifts. They hopes that Faith would protect them from the school bullies seeing how tyrannical she was. They found Sheilla sitting in a quiet conner in the main library. She was reading the introduction of history while taking some notes. She was jotting down the notes early on because she had found out that the students were supposed to make their own notes while teachers were to teach them. Idiotic students like Faith,who didn't know what was good for them, were still in the dark, causing trouble everywhere.

While she was still immersed in her studies, she was once again rudely interrupted by the nemesis who was looking condensandingly using her nose. Sheilla was truly fed up with Faith but what could she do about it? "Yo! Where's my lunch??" Faith asked in a commanding tone and stood arms akimbo as if to show her might in front of her cronies.

"Here! Here!" Sheilla said in a flustered manner while pointing at her food pouch. She didn't dare to be slow at all.' Humph! At least you know your place! Irene,take the pouch and let's leave this stinky b*tch alone' Irene,a girl of medium height and a fair skin complexion, hurriedly took Sheilla's pouch and followed Faith as they swaggered out of her sight. Sheilla couldn't do anything about it.
