I entered the convenience store in our estate and my eyes were instantly drawn to the girl leaning on the counter. She wore shorts that even etched up as she put her hands on the counter. I did not even need to see her face to know that it was Moji. No one else has that ability to make the little me jump in excitement just by breathing. One of the guys standing on the other side of the store was openly staring at her and from the looks of things, I knew he was going to want to make a move on her. Well, that wasn't happening.
Not with me around.
And what right do you have? You just finished screwing one girl's brain off less than 2 hours ago.

~Fola~I sat at my study desk, staring intently at the paper iny hands. It was the list of things I had written as my to-do list during one of our group sessions. My eyes scanned the things on the list and I swallowed for like the umpteenth time today. The cultural night was exactly in a week's time and even though I had gotten an Ankara print, selected a style and had dropped it off with mom's fashion designer, I wasn't planning on attending.The only reason I hadn't voiced that out was because I did not want to give mom a cause to worry and then, there was Moji too, she had me sit in every meetings with her and Tobi even though it was getting really hard to in the later presence.

~Fola~I felt Tobi's eyes on me throughout the dinner or what would I even call the event. We were sitted on a table of four with little Moji looking all dolled up and pretty. I felt conscious thoughtout the program and I could hardly concentrate on a thing; not the pageantry contest, not the drama, not the folklore.All because Tobi was looking at me.Like I was some sort of sacred item in a museum.People looking at me like this always made me angry at them.Him looking at me like this was making me angry too.At myse

~Leke~I clenched and unclenched my fists as I stood by my bedroom window. It's being a week since the Ankara night and that means a week since I talked with Moji.I was angry at myself, not at her. I was angry at the fact that I couldn't control myself. I was angry at the fact it only took Peju taking her top and bra off to lose the last bit of my self restraint.Then I came out to meet Moji waiting for me, looking all wildly pretty and innocent and that was when I got angry, extremely angry that I felt like punching a wall. In the end, I took it out on her.Now she wouldn't even talk to me. I ran into her two days ago with her sister in the

~Fola~I could feel mom's excitement as Moji curtseyed to greet her. It was the exact same smile that she had on her face when I told her that a friend was coming over. Her eyes had gotten huge and I knew the news was almost too good to be true for her.The fact that I had a friend.The fact that I like that friend enough to invite her for a sleepover."Aunty Moji, we finally get to meet you."Moji beamed as she curtseyed yet again. We just got to the dinning to eat dinner when mom arrived."Hope you're fine, my dear."

~Moji~I was watering the flowers in the garden when I subconsciously looked at the compound of the house beside ours. It was Leke's house and I noticed that it was always quiet. Since that night of our cultural night, I had ignored him even though he had tried to talk to me. I wasn't exactly mad at him. I don't even think that I knew how to be mad at people. And now, I was regretting being mad at him. Something bad must have happened for him to have snapped at me like that. To be candid, I was the one that did not mind her business.He snapped at your girl! He shouted at you. You're supposed to be angry at him, not justifying his actions.I know but then it's not good to judge people wh

~Fola~School resumed today and as I got down from the car, I heaved a sigh. I don't know what to think or how to think. I've not seen Tobi since that last time I saw him in our street or I don't know how to think. I don't even know how I was supposed to act when I see him."Hey Bestie!"I turned abruptly towards the direction of the excited voice. It was Moji jogging towards me and a very huge smile on her face."My baby. I've missed you."She said as soon she got to me and she hugged me, pressing her small frame unto mine.&nbs

~Fola~Friday afternoon and I found myself walking towards the classroom where the literary and Debate club activities was going on. I had managed not to attend any of the meetings during the first term but now, I was walking towards the classroom. It wasn't because I was actually interested in the club activities.Deep down, I was actually interested but it was already late, we were in second term already and our finals was going to start very soon.I was actually attending the meeting because I had to get away from Tobi. He was slowly growing on me..He's already grown on you.&

~Leke~I've not not exactly spoken to Moji since that last time in the car and even though, we journeyed to and fro to school in the same car, I kept to myself and she did exactly that too.And during those times, I felt less guilty whenever I was with Peju.But that still doesn't mean that I did not think about her every single day.I do and it was becoming excruciating hard to keep my hands to myself, especially when she was always wearing those short excuse of knickers around the compound.Someone opened the door of the unused class that I was

~Fola~The top five contenders names for ECOWAS oratory Contest was posted on the school's newsboard and as I walked towards where it was with Moji, my heart was literally in my throat because I did not want to expect.I don't know if I'd be able to handle it if I did not make it.I sincerely don't know how I'd feel self.Lots of students were gathered in front of the board, checking for their names or for their friends and while some started crying openly, some would shriek loudly and it was so obvious that making this list was such a big deal.We pushed our way to the front and my

~Moji~Leke did not show up in school the next day.And the day after that.Looking into their compound was always futile because there was basically no life there.No laughter, no nothing. He seems to always be the only one at home and that even confirmed the fact that he must be very lonely.And yet, he was always smiling. He never showed anybody a glimpse into his soul and now I was feeling so bad because I knew so little about him.I pressed the doorbell again.

~Leke~Frustrated wasn't the word. I was beyond frustrated. I really don't know any word that would describe what I was feeling. The fact that she was pretending nothing had happened. The fact that she was smiling, talking to me and ignoring me at the same time was baffling. And it was killing me. Because I knew it was all a mask and that she was hurt and that was hurting me too.A whole lot.I'd attempted to corner her and to talk to her but she'd just tell me off plainly. It's like we never existed. I don't know if we ever existed self. I wasn't even sure what the meaning of we was.I was in my room, staring out of the window and staring at her room. The curtains were drawn and once or twice, I'd catch a figure in the room. I knew it was her. I don't know how long I stood there but the next thing I knew was that I was climbing the stairs to her room. It was only when I got to the front of her door, hands poised in the air to knock that I stopped. What was I doing here?Wha

~Fola~We were in the conference room.By we, I mean, the students that showed interest in participating in the intra school competition for ECOWAS oratory Contest. One of the school's administrators and a speech instructor were with us. We were 12 students and it was a question and answer session so they'd lay 7 people off, then the last five would climb the stage next Friday and the final winner would be chosen.I released a shaky breath as I felt like sinking more into my seat. Peju was sitting in front me, pretty in all her glory, eyes blaring and shooting daggers at me. It was hard to maintain my stance under her scrutinizing gaze but I folded my hands over my chest and I matched her gaze

~Leke~Screwed doesn't quite describe what I was going through.Messed up.Fucked up.I've done absolutely nothing since the moment she walked in on us than go think about her expression, the surprise and hurt and disgust and repulsion.I've successfully ruined whatever it was between us. I've successfully hurt the feelings of a girl that genuinely care about me. I've successfully ruined everything.I kept staring at my phone, torn between calling her, then dismissing that thought because I have absolutely nothing to say to h

~Moji~It took me just a few seconds to put everything that was in front of me. Leke with his back to the table, Peju kneeling in front of him, hands inside his trouser.I stared at them in disbelief, intense anger shaking me.For a moment, I was too stunned and too stupefied to move. It was only when Leke jerked away from Peju that I was to blink back into reality and I turned back.It was almost closing hours anyway so I walked to the garage, my foot barely touching the ground until I got to the garage. The driver was already around do I just entered the car, biting the insides of my cheeks to keep myself from crying.

~Fola~I was at the park with Tobi, talking about random things. We were doing that more often these days, talking about everything and nothing. Sometimes, enjoying the absolute silence, our souls talking more in the moment than our mouths.And he'd use that time to probably kiss my neck or even my lips. He was always looking forward to us being alone."Stop it."I mouthed cheekily and I attempted to move away from him but his hand on my waist kept me close, nudging me even closer as he continued kissing my neck, my earlobes and I shuddered involuntarily.Who'
