Episode 1 – "New Faces, Same Struggles"

The sun blazed over the streets of Lagos as Ella squeezed herself into a tight top that barely contained her curves. She huffed, adjusting her chest as the fabric stretched to its limit. Her JAMB lesson was in an hour, and she didn’t have time to waste.

Beside her, Treasure, her best friend and partner in crime, gave her a side-eye. "Ella, be sincere with yourself—why are you always suffocating these poor clothes? That top is crying for help!"

Ella rolled her eyes. "Treasure, abeg, leave me alone. It’s not my fault tailors in this country don’t know how to sew for thick babes like me!"

Treasure folded her arms, shaking her head. "You keep blaming tailors, but you refuse to accept that you are just… big. Babe, you need to hit the gym."

Ella turned to face her, arms akimbo. "Treasure, you dey talk gym? Have you seen yourself? If I’m big, then what are you? You’re like two people in one body."

Treasure gasped dramatically, placing a hand on her chest. "Me?! Two people? My dear, I’m just generously proportioned. You, on the other hand, are the one fighting your wardrobe every morning."

Ella adjusted her breasts again, muttering, "God, why did you bless me with all these assets if the world won’t allow me to enjoy them in peace?"

They continued bickering as they arrived at the JAMB lesson center, a crowded place filled with students from different backgrounds, all preparing for their exams.

As they stepped in, they noticed a girl struggling to pull down her too-tight skirt. She was slim compared to them, but still had curves that made her outfit a challenge.

"New member of the struggle club," Ella whispered to Treasure.

The girl sighed in frustration, giving up on the skirt battle. She turned and noticed them staring. "Y’all staring because I look good or because you relate?"

Treasure smirked. "Both."

The girl laughed. "I’m Victoria. And yes, my tailor hates me too."

Ella chuckled. "Welcome to the club, Victoria. We suffer together."

Just then, three other girls entered the classroom.

The first one was short and thick, rocking her curves confidently despite her tight jeans. The second was pear-shaped, her tiny waist making her wide hips look even more exaggerated. The third was slim but curvy, the definition of an hourglass figure.

Treasure nudged Ella. "Look at them. We are forming a whole squad."

Victoria turned to them. "Y’all got the same problem I do?"

Ella smiled. "More like different variations of the same problem. You know what? Let’s all sit together. We might as well turn this into a sisterhood."

And just like that, the University Girls Squad was formed—six girls with different body types, different personalities, but the same struggle of existing in a world that wasn’t made for them.

To be continued…

This is just the beginning of their journey. Want me to add more drama or humor in the next part? 😆
