HOW I LOST MY VIRGINITY AS A CHURCH GIRL: Episode 24

EPISODE 24: THE GAME BEGINS

My hands shook as I stared at the message.

Vanessa wasn’t done with me.

I wanted to ignore her, but something told me that would be a big mistake.

I typed quickly.

Me: What do you want, Vanessa?

She replied almost instantly.

Vanessa: Relax, dear. It’s not about what I want. It’s about what you have to lose.

A cold chill ran down my spine.

Me: Stop playing games.

Vanessa: But it’s fun 😊. Anyway, you’ll see soon.

I clenched my jaw, my heart pounding. What was she planning?

As I lowered my phone, I looked around, suddenly feeling exposed. Was she watching me?

I needed to be careful.

A PUBLIC DISGRACE

I decided to avoid Vanessa and David completely. But trouble doesn’t ask for permission before it comes knocking.

Two days later, it found me.

I was in the middle of a lecture when my phone started buzzing non-stop. I ignored it at first, but the whispers around me made me uneasy.

Then someone behind me gasped.

“Jesus!” a girl muttered.

I turned, confused.

Then a guy in front of me nudged his friend and said, “Omo, so na church girl dey do this kind thing?”

I frowned. “Excuse me?”

He just laughed and shook his head.

Something was very wrong.

Then I checked my phone.

My notifications were on fire.

Group chat – Campus Gist HQ
New message from Vanessa:
“Dear Brethren, I present to you our holy sister, Adaeze. Innocent on the outside… but inside? Well, see for yourself 😉.”

There was a link.

With shaking hands, I clicked it.

A video opened.

My heart stopped.

It was me.

With David.

In his car.

On the night I first entered.

He was holding my chin, looking deep into my eyes. The way he leaned in, the way I stared at him—it looked so intimate.

But that wasn’t the worst part.

The video was edited.

It cut right after I rejected his kiss, making it look like we did something we didn’t.

I covered my mouth.

This couldn’t be happening.

The caption under the video made my head spin.

“Pastor’s daughter caught in action 🤡. Holy outside, wild inside! Click the link for full details.”

The lecture hall erupted. Laughter. Murmurs. Side-eyes.

My world was crashing.

My phone kept vibrating.

Unknown Number Calling.

I already knew who it was.

Vanessa.

I didn’t pick up.

Instead, I grabbed my bag and ran out of the hall.

I didn’t care where I was going. I just needed to disappear.

NOWHERE TO HIDE

I reached my hostel, but before I could lock my door, someone stopped me.

Brother Samuel.

He was out of breath, like he had run all the way.

“Adaeze, what is going on?!” he demanded.

I shook my head, tears in my eyes. “I don’t know. I swear, I don’t know.”

He looked at me, his face unreadable.

Then, he handed me his phone.

My heart dropped.

On the screen…

A message from the Church WhatsApp Group.

PASTOR HAD SEEN THE VIDEO.
