She leaned on a red Toyota Yaris car sizing Genevieve up.Her two side-kicks were also by her side dressed in matching mini-skirts,glittering tops and shiny strapped high-heeled sandals.The trio wore heavy make-up and expensive human hair weaves on their heads.They also clutched designer hand bags and expensive phones.They looked like girls going to a club or night party.
Genevieve scrutinized them as they scrutinized her and looked at her drab and dull clothes,her signature dreadlocks and glasses compared to their fabulous-looking selves.
They noticed her gesture and Cynthia did not hesitate to say "Oh!Let me not forget to add;your poor sense of style is such an eyesore for our pretty eyes.Why don't you come to me and let me school you on fashion and style;poor fat plain ugly Genevieve."The looks on Cynthia's face and that of her two friends was that of victory when they saw Genevieve look down at her unfashionable shoes.
She quickly made way for them as they proceeded into the cafeteria and found the best seats close to some of the most popular guys in school.She then dragged herself in with pain and humiliation then sat at an insignificant corner observing the activities in the cafe.
After about thirty minutes,when Cynthia and her friends had left;she walked slowly to the counter and ordered a take-away pack and a drink to take back to her room.She seemed to have lost her appetite.

BECOMING GENEVIEVE - Episode 1
"Not again." murmurs Genevieve Maduka as she bumps into a tall, good looking young man who was walking down the corridor of her lecture hall.
Right from her first year in the university, she has had a crush on him. Really, what girl wouldn't want to fall for the tall, dark and handsome Ebuka Okeke? He is every young girl's dream; he is just the perfect gentleman. He has white teeth that sparkles whenever he smiles and makes a girl weak in the knees. He is well structured and his carriage is just too admirable. Also his sense of style is just something else. He is what you can call Mr. Perfect.
As she regained her composure,she peeked up at him,looked away immediately and wobbled away to the amusement of Ebuka.She was embarassed so she quickly opened the door to the lecture room and almost ran in.
As usual,she made her way to the back of the class to sit at her usual spot.She brought out her textbook and started leafing through it while the rest of the class discussed in small groups.
Thirty minutes later,the lecturer taking the first course for the day walked in followed by Ebuka who had gone to remind him of the lecture as the class representative.The lectures for the day then proceeded.
As lectures ended for the day,a tired and hungry Genevieve made her way to the school's cafeteria for a late lunch.She had spent her whole day only in lecture rooms and the library and had not had any time to eat at all.She was only able to munch on a packet of biscuits she had managed to put in her bag in the morning to take to school.
As she walked,she accidentally bumped into an approaching figure."What's with the bumping into people today?"She thought to herself.She didn't have to look up or twice to know who it was.The shiny stylish high-heeled strapped sandals gave her away."Hey fatima,orobo;watch where you are going.When I tell you to slim down,you don't listen.That is how you go bumping into people because of how big you are.Please,lose weight and give the rest of us breathing space."It was Genevieve's worst nightmare and major headache in school;Cynthia Odinaka.
