AMAKA (EPISODE 1)
DETERMINATION
AMAKA: No! Just forget it, there is a time for everything, and right now, this isnt the time for guys, i'm too busy to share my time.
CYNTHIA: Is that so? So tell me, when is the time for guys? If not now that you're still young, then when?...
AMAKA: Well, when i'm ready to get married, only then would i give my attention to any guy; a man actually. Not now i'm still focused on building my career.
CYNTHIA: Really? Dont tell me you're into the NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE GROUP...
AMAKA: Of course not. This is my own decision, it wasnt influenced by anyone or any group, its just something i wanna do, something ive made up my mind to do.
CYNTHIA: Hmm, Are u serious?
AMAKA: Cynthia, C'mon, whats wrong with you. You saw what happened to UCHENNA, our close friend. Now she has no future, she's stuck with a baby in a stranger's house...
CYNTHIA: Thats her fault, she was presistent, she refused to listen my advice after being careless...
AMAKA: ...and what was your advice?
CYNTHIA: What other option was there for her other than ABORTION ...
AMAKA: My dear, Prevention is better than cure. Please just let me be, i have made my own decision. We're almost at my bus stop, we'll see tomorrow in school. Think about what i told you...
CYNTHIA: You as well, reconsider or you might end up regreting at the end ...
( St. Anthony's School Bus made a stop, while Amaka highlighted down the bus waving BYE to her close friend CYNTHIA. )

Later that day ...
{ Amaka and her junior brother Nonso; On their way to the evening fellowship being held at their church every 2 days }
NONSO: Sister, please remind me when we get home. We were given an assignment at school, i would like you to assist me with it.
AMAKA; What were you doing since you returned from school? Why didnt you show me as soon as you return?
NONSO: I forgot. You know we are only given assignments on friday, but this new aunt we have at school gives us home assignment all the time...
AMAKA: Alright. Just pray i remember if you dont. That reminds me. Nonso, what do you think about me having a boyfriend?...
NONSO: A BOYFRIEND?...
AMAKA: Yea, a boyfriend ...
NONSO: Hmm, i dont know O. But i know that Mum and Dad wont accept the idea cause they said only people ready for marriage should have a boyfriend...
AMAKA: Do you have a girl-friend?
NONSO: ( Smiling ) ...
AMAKA: What? Dont worry, i wont tell anyone. I PROMISE.
NONSO: Alright. Not really. There's this girl i've always liked but i cant tell her i like her...
AMAKA: And why is that?
NONSO: Because Dad gives me just #100 for school every day, and its barely enough to feed me in school...
AMAKA: Whats that got to do with the fact you like her? Whats her name anyways?
NONSO: Her name is FAVOUR, and you cant date a girl without money, thats the connection. What do i do if she comes one day asking me for money?...
AMAKA: ( laughing ) My dear, from what i've learnt. She wont ask you for anything unless you ask her for something...
NONSO: And what would that be? What can i possibly ask from her? ...
AMAKA: Jeez! How old are you? Would you tell me you would never try to kiss or hug her when you start dating her? ..
NONSO: Ehm... Oh... that... Its my right of course. As my girl-friend, we're supposed to do that sometimes...
AMAKA: I see, well, as her boyfriend, you're supposed to give her money sometimes. See your mouth...
NONSO: If thats the case, i might as well remain friends with her, cause i dont see the essence of dating her if i cant do anything different ...
( Almost at the church compound now ... )
AMAKA: We'll continue this discussion later. We are already in church. Meet me here when you guys finish your session.
[ They parted ways to their different sessions, But Amaka wasnt focused, she kept thinking about the discussion she just had with her junior brother... ]
AMAKA: < TO HERSELF > Thats the problem, if i should give him a chance, he would end up trying to have sex with me even if i dont ask him for anything. Its what they call the difference between FRIENDSHIP and RELATIONSHIP. Could it be that there is no guy out there who doesnt care about these things? I think i'd just remain this way "A VIRGIN" until i'm ready to get married.
AMAKA: No! Just forget it, there is a time for everything, and right now, this isnt the time for guys, i'm too busy to share my time.
CYNTHIA: Is that so? So tell me, when is the time for guys? If not now that you're still young, then when?...
