You never can tell what life is made up until you have delve into it. There are different stories of people who have gone deep into it but successfully came back after they have realize what it was and explain to their fellow ones or probably the young ones their experience in order to learn from it.
But what still baffles me is that despite all the news flying here and there about how brutal and cruel life can be people still wanna delve right into it.

It is not as if they are not aware of the consequences they are; but why do they still delve into it?
I know some you might have a thousand and one reasons for this but what about those who have just little or no knowledge about it.
Well it turns out that I fall victim of those who have little knowledge about it.
I was just in Primary Five when my parents decided we should relocate from our environment to a better one. My parents are both Christians and they are both elder and deaconess of the church we attend.
I was the first daughter of the family and also the first child my mother was pregnant by that time and I can’t wait for her to put to bed so I can see my baby sister. I don’t even want a baby boy!!
Our house isn’t far from church and luckily we live very close to the Pastor’s house.
Which gave me time to play with his children most especially favour because we are of the same age and also in the same class.
Favour and I began to attend the same school we both leave home together and come back together everything we do is almost together like twins which strengthen our friendship.
I love reading the Bible with her anything that we don’t understand we will both go and meet her father or my father for clarification.
But all this began to change when Favour acquired a new phone. It all started one evening I was outside watching the dishes we used to eat in the afternoon. My father had went to church for a meeting while my mother took a stroll down the street to her friend’s shop.
So I was the only one at home suddenly I saw Favour running from her house to mine she was excited and happy I could hear the way she was shouting my name
“Beatrice!!! I just got a new phone!!” She said flashing the phone in my face I sprang up from my seat and clean my hand with skirt and collected the phone.
“No way how come I thought our parents said they won’t buy us phone until we are eighteen years old!!” I said as I continue to examine the phone.
“Hmmmm yea but my sister just came back from school and she is having a new Android phone so she gave me this one” she said.
“Wow you are very lucky oooo so is there sim and memory card in it?”
“Yes of course!!” She said “Infact there are lot of movies on it which we are both going to watch tomorrow after school!!”
“I can’t wait oooo tomorrow is too far can we watch little out of it and then continue tomorrow” I said with a pleading tone and she agreed.
I quickly finish watching all the plates and took them inside before we both went to the living room to start watching the movies.
It was a short comedy movie that was on the phone we laugh at each scene because it is very funny to the extent we watch all the movies on the phone that very day.
“Ooooo God there’s no more movie again on this phone!!!” I exclaimed
“And the movies are very funny oooo!!”
” Go and meet your sister tell her that you need more movies nah”
“No ooo before she gave me the phone she warn me that if she catch me paying more attention to the phone or collecting movies from another person than my book she would collect it and I won’t have any phone till I am twenty years old”
“Nawa oooo OK nah no problem” I said as I stretched my body while she left.
The following day, we both leave the house together and went to school on our way we meet Dayo our classmate he’s more or less like a rascal because he loves to disobey the school rules and regulations.
He was dressed in his uniform and was listening to some songs on his phone while he was going to school. The school never permitted anyone to bring phones to school but for Dayo it is a different case, he would bring it and no one will ever know he did except his friends.
“Hey Dayo good morning!!” We both greeted him.
“My two wives good morning” he reply
“How many times have I told you not to call me your wife again” I said in a harsh tone. “You better warn yourself Dayo”
“OK no problem my baby” he said again and we both burst out in laugh.
“Dayo are you having movies on your phone?” Favour asked as she stared at the phone in his hand.
“Yes of course!!” He said and favour brought out her phone from her bag and hand it over to him
“Send all the movies on your phone to my phone but don’t allow the teacher to see it ooo!!”
“Trust me nah no teacher can see it” he said and branch at a friend while we walk to the school.
I didn’t have anything against what she did because we are both going to watch the movies together.
Immediately the bell was jingled for closing favour quickly ran to Dayo and surreptitiously collect her phone and hide it inside her bag I could see the joy written all over her face as she came to me with a smile.
When we got home after doing the house chores and our assignment I went over to Favour’s house because my mother was around.
Favour was in her room when I came in she quickly went to lock the door before we began to watch the movies Dayo sent her. She click on the first video and what we saw was p@rn@gr@phy.
My name is Beatrice Samson and this is my story.
Watch out for the next episode of Inside Life Episode two.
