Yours truly
~Uthman~
'Why?'
I can list a thousand reasons why I want to become Medical Doctor. Heck! Even millions of reason
My dad owns the biggest hospital in our State, makes millions of Naira daily, sent me to one of the best and most expensive secondary school, set up a trustfund worth millions of Naira for me, (a lot of people will be truly surprised to know how much I have in my trustfund), buys me everything

~Jade~"You're just getting worked up over nothing, sis. It's normal. I don't see any biggie there."I stared at Zee, mouth ajar. We were both in my room. I was exasperated from what had happened at the party and Zee just had to say this when I told her what happened."Wow, really? Zee, It's normal? I get that most girls are okay with that but I'm not most girls, am I? And I even told him I was not interested but he persisted.""You told him? I thought you said you pushed him."Oh God. Now, I was beyond exasperated and the fact that I couldn't raise my voice to my satisfaction because it was very late in the night was annoying me more."Yeah. I pushed him. Why? Because the fool said, can I do you the honor of kissing your li

~Jade's POV~I was in my room contemplating about Hana's outburst. After we both left the cafeteria, we went to the field and sat down on the grass, our hands still intertwined. After a while, I'd asked her'Okay, are you going to tell me what's wrong with you now?'She'd shook her head after a while. I was nearing experation. Seriously, I felt like shouting at the top of my voice.'Really, Hana? You're not going to tell me? Well, suit yourself.'And I'd stood up, ready to leave when she grabbed my hands. I looked down to find her smiling.'God! Jade, you're really going to leave me like this.'I laughed and sat down again.'Well, you left me with no option.'She laughed and I joined in laughing too.

~Uthman~ "Do you think Jade and Hana fought?" I asked Daniel when we got home. We were both in my room, lying down on my bed. "Why do you care? It's not like you're interested in their stuff." I turned to look at him, his gaze was fixed on a picture on his phone. He was obviously going through someone's I*******m page. He put his phone away when he caught me looking. "Stop peeking, it's not like I'm watching porn." Aah God! How did I become close to this guy in the first place? "Hana is full of surprises sha. I never thought she could raise her voice at Jade." "Desperate times call for desperate measures." "Was she desperate and how would you know that?" I asked, propping my head up with one

~Jade~Exams are coming, Exams are coming, exams are coming, prepare well for your exams, read well for your exams, stop frolicking around, this is your last school exam before your mock exams, stop chasing boys around!!!Well, we were done with the exams and we did notdie. Two weeks after Hana told me about her escapedee with Daniel, two weeks after Michelle's outburst at the cafeteria, two uneventful weeks, well, if I should count Hana and Dan's palava as eventful. I don't even understand the duo anymore. They kept circling around. Dan had called it off with Fola and Hana was yet to date him. Yet to date him because she obviously would do that soon. If not, why on earth will she allow him to kiss her on two different occasions?Now, we were in our class, some were playing ludo, some

~Jade's POV~On days like this, I wish I had a more normal family. Don't get me wrong. I love my family. I love them so much but then, peoole say things like 'We don't know the value of what we have until we lose them or something like We are not grateful for the things we have because we see people that seems to have more things than we do.That's the phase I am right now, sitting at Hana's dinning table watching her parents eat together like they do every other day. Damn! I can count the number of time my whole family eats together on my two hands in a whole year. It was our cultural day in school, a day when all students dress in their traditional attire reflecting their cultures. We have Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, ibiobio, Igbira, Edo and then Hana, our Korean.

~Jade's POV~'Baby, how're you?'I stared mouth wide open at Zee, wondering what she's doing in my school. Today is the day we vacate school and our PTA. Mom is supposed to be here, not Zee. And besides, when I left home this morning, Zee was still in School. She was putting on a podka dot short Bubu that I've never seen on her before and I know I'm so stealing the gown. That what younger sisters are for anyways, stealing their elder sister's clothes.'What are you doing here?''What can't I do here?' she shrugged 'I'm here for your PTA''So Zee, you're here as my guardian. Mad oo. Who's guarding who?'I came to the hall where the meeting was holding and I was on my way out when I stumbled upon Zee.'Wo, baby. I don't hav

~Jade's POV~It's been two weeks since we vacated, two weeks of trying to convince that what Zee said is wrong. Two weeks filled with the thoughts of someone I'll rather not think about. I was sitting in front of the wall mirror in my room, trying on different earrings when Zee entered the room. She did a double take when she saw me. She flopped down on my bed so she could stare at my reflection in the mirror.'You look good, I didn't know you know how to do makeup like this.''I picked up a thing or two from you.' I smiled'By the way, Are you not going to Hana's house?'I nodded, it was on the 26th of December and that's the day Hana and her family celebrate Christmas.'You are taking extra measure to look this good and you're going to Hana's place?' She asked, then she added, as an afterthought 'Is your crush there by any chance?'I rolled eyes and turn

~Jade~I was walking with my back, all the while waving at Isreal when I bumped into someone. The drink the person was holding feel on the ground and it spilled on our bodies. I instinctively bent down to pick the cup and the keys that fell with it.'I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going.'I stood up and handed the key to him. His hands brushed against mine and it lingered there for a moment. I met his eyes, about to tell him off and I froze.He winked at me, smiled and gave me a mock salute before walking off.I had an instant flashback and I instinctively moved back.I did not know how long I stood there. I was too immobile to do anything. It was only when two girls bumped into me that I regained my composure and started to walk back

They were big, way too big, that my feet got lost in them self.'Is this your dad's?'I blurted out without thinking. He smiled.'Nah, it's my grandfather's.'I made to hit him and he ducked.'Mama, why are you this violent?''I'm not violent and besides, why are you slippers this big?

The girl keeps talking. Over the last two weeks, she had filed me up with every single details of what I missed when they were not in the house.'And do you know the most important thing you missed?'She asked me one evening. We were both in the varender.

~Uthman~I swallowed at our close proximity. I shouldn't have hugged her.So, you should have just stood there and watched her nearly have a panic attack?I patted her back, smelling her shampoo, her long hair tickled my ears as I started to move back.Jade grabbed my shirt, stopping me from moving away.I stopped.I looked down at where she grabbed my shirt before looking up at her again. Her eyes were still glassy. Glassy from crying.Now, it looks like the sexy kinda glassy.O beere? What are you thinking about?'Jadeshola, we should......'

I got down on from the car and took them in, one by one. They were mostly from my dad's family and then mom's too. They must have just finished one of the numerous meetings.They've done so many meetings and it has yielded no positive result. They might as well end the marriage. Completely.Are you really sure about that? Can
