Moji did not say a word to me and she ignored me too, acting like I wasn't even beside her. She disappeared to God knows where during lunch break and even though, I did not exactly plan on going to the cafeteria too, I was still kind of hurt, though I brought it upon myself and I deserve everything and anything. But I was still desperate to talk to her. Fine, she has every right to be angry at me but I also had to apologize so when she left the class when we had a free period, I found myself following her after some minutes.
I loitered around the school premises because I had missed her. I did not know where she disappeared to or what class she entered and I had to lie to the teachers that asked me where I was going. I was about g

~Moji~I walked into the main house in a daze. I still couldn't believe the conversation I had with Fola. I couldn't believe what she had concluded on. I'd never say something like that. She should have known that I'd never say something like that but the fact that she believed it was hurting me.And the fact that she must be going to extreme pain because she believed it was hurting me more."Eku Ile Ma."I greeted mom who was watching a movie on the TV and my two siblings immediately stood up from where they sat to hug me.My legs, literally because that's where their height

~Leke~Tobi told me everything.From him liking Fola, to confessing his feelings to her, to her turning him down, to him kissing her, to Moji walking in on them, to Moji getting all angry, to Moji finally telling him that she likes him and blah blah blah.I found myself skipping school the next day, not like I needed permission from anyone. There was no one to even get the permission from. My parents weren't home and it wasn't like I'd ask for permission from the maids.I did not actually have a reason for skipping school but deep down, I knew I'd end up going to Moji's house and that was exactly what I did. The gateman allowed me

~Fola~I was worried about Moji.I was very, very worried.But I kept it all to myself. I avoided Tobi like a plague, kept to myself during classes, disappeared during lunch breaks. I basically acted invisible and even though my therapists had always warned me against acting like that, I liked it.For the two days Moji skipped school, I'd bring out my phone, start to call her before pressing the end button, start to type a message to her before clearing it all. I wanted to ask her how she was fairing but I still couldn't get her words out of my brain. The but Fola just kept repeating itself in my head over me over again.

~Leke~I was in Moji's house.Well, I found spending more time with her these days which might end up becoming a recipe for disaster but I actually don't mind risking that only if it just means spending more time with her.We were currently outside the main house but still in the compound and we both sat on the high table that was in the compound, a table that I've always wondered about what it was used for. Moji was typing away on her phone and she'd burst into occasionally, throwing her head back and it was obvious that she was enjoying herself.I don't have any problem with her enjoying herself. I just have a problem with her enjoying hers

~Moji~I've had my first kiss.And I don't even know what to say or think.I've always fancied my first kiss to be romantic and all.I've never actually thought that it won't be a real kiss. A kiss on the lips.I never thought it would be a kiss on my neck and earlobes.And to say I loved it would even be an understatement.I kept replaying the scene in my head, how his tongue had trailed from my neck to my earlobes and how much I had loved that moment.

~Fola~My parents were looking at me cautiously, looking at me through hooded and guided eyes, looking at me as if I'd snap anytime, looking at me exactly the way they had looked at me when it first happened and the first few months after that.And it wasn't like I did not notice that they were keeping all the sharp objects away. I noticed but I choose not to talk or think about it. Thinking about it might make me wonder if physical pain would hurt more than the emotional one, if physical pain would dull the emotional one.Thinking about it might make me want to do it. Doing it would mean blood all over.A memory instantly flashed in f

~Moji~"I used to have a twins sister and I killed her."My body tensed at her words. Her eyes were on mine but I knew she was not looking at me. There was a farway look in her eyes, as if she was seeing far into the future or the past. That look scared me.A whole lot."We were very close. Too close self and very identical. It was only mom and David that could tell us apart. Dad couldn't. She was the gentle one and I was the troublesome one. She'd take the punishments for my troubles and she'd allow me to take the glory for her own good things. I liked her and I was jealous of her too. I felt our parents preffered her to me and t

~Fola~The first thing I did when I got home was to cross out 'Make a real friend' from my to-do list. I felt like I've indeed found a true friend in her.I've never recounted the day of the fire outbreak until yesterday. I've never told anyone about my own version of how it'd happened but something about Moji had made me forget my resolve not to tell anyone about it and in the end, I'd told her everything, every single thing and I did not regret it.I had the most fun with her that night and I've never had more fun in my entire life. We'd talk about everything and nothing, about her liking Leke and Tobi and the last time I remembered checking before I finally fell asleep was 3:30am. I've neve

~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'
