Afe's first few weeks at her new school were a whirlwind of activity. She was determined to make a good impression and fit in with her peers. Her kindness and confidence quickly made her popular among her classmates, and she soon found herself surrounded by a group of friendly faces.
Two girls in particular caught her attention: Nneoma and Ada. Nneoma was a bright and bubbly student who always had a smile on her face, while Ada was a bit more reserved but had a sharp wit and a quick intelligence.
The three girls quickly became inseparable, bonding over their shared interests and experiences. Afe found herself opening up to Nneoma and Ada in ways she never thought possible. She shared stories about her family and her life before moving to the new school, and they listened with rapt attention.
As they spent more time together, Afe began to feel a sense of belonging she hadn't felt in a long time. She realized that she didn't have to hide her true self from Nneoma and Ada, and that they accepted her for who she was.
One day, as they sat together in the school cafeteria, Nneoma turned to Afe and asked, "Hey, what's your secret? You're always so confident and positive. What's your story?"
Afe hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Nneoma and Ada's kind and non-judgmental eyes put her at ease. She took a deep breath and began to share her story, telling them about the seal's power and her journey as a guardian.
Nneoma and Ada listened in awe, their eyes wide with wonder. When Afe finished speaking, they sat in stunned silence for a moment before Nneoma exclaimed, "Wow, Afe, that's amazing! We're so honored that you trust us enough to share this with us."
Ada nodded in agreement. "We're here for you, Afe. No matter what."
Afe felt a surge of gratitude towards her new friends. She knew that she could always count on them, and that they would support her no matter what challenges lay ahead.
From that day on, Afe, Nneoma, and Ada were more than just friends - they were a team. They faced challenges and adventures together, and Afe knew that she could always rely on them to have her back.
