We were on his way to his room when Joan stopped us
Stopped Jace not me
"Happy birthday,handsome"She pecked him on his cheek.
"Thanks"
"Muffin,go upstairs,the second room on your left is mine"He added directing me.
"Okay"I muttered and walked away leaving him with Joan.
I wonder what they wanted to discuss but anyways it is not actually my business so I cared less.I followed his directions and got to his room,it was sort of empty,just a bed and some few things in the room, I guessed since he doesn't live in his father's house,his room won't be filled with things.
"This used to be my room"A voice said from behind as he closed the door.
It was Jace
"I know that"I replied as I stood up.
"I like the gift, thanks a bunch"He grinned as he came closer.
"You look extremely gla
Michelle's POV Arrrrrrrggggghhh!!!I screamed so loud when my zip pulled out from my skirt,it was Monday morning,my day hasn't even started yet and it was already ruined.My siblings came running thinking something must have happened to me "Michy,what's wrong" "Ogre,why did you scream like that" "Shut up,Donkey"I glared at Mason.This wasnt the time to call me names,I was in a bad state. "My zip got spoilt"I explained looking at the mirror. "Wear your spare skirt then"Maya said as she ate part of her breakfast. "It's wet"I whined. We were already late and it was obviously because of me,I slept quite late the previous night doing all my assignments which I could have done on Saturday but I completely forgot.We were so going to get heavy punishment,to make matters worst,I was a senior!! You are
Michelle's POV "Are you not done with Lucas's notes"Olivia asked for the third time,she was obviously tired of waiting,we had offered to update his notes for him since he came half of the term. "Almost done,chillax"I grinned at my bestfriend who already had a bored expression on her face."You are too slow joor,infact give the notes to me,let me help"She offered stretching her hands to collect the notes."What's the rush?Are we going somewhere today"I inquired because it was Friday evening and we didn't have any event planned out. "God in Heaven,any spirit of forgetfulness that want to affect my bestie,take it away in Jesus name, Amen"She prayed with on her knees on the floor.I giggled at her action,silly girl,I wonder where we were going?! "Seriously,do we have anything planned out"I asked again,dying of curiosity.Olivia face palmed before she informed me about Jace's party,he
I woke up with a banging hangover only to see a pair of hazel eyes staring at me,I scratched my eyes and blinked thrice,looking around to make sure I wasn't dreaming,my eyes widened when I realized I wasn't dreaming and the fact that Jace wasn't far away from me infact he was on the same bed with me wearing only trousers and singlet.I quickly raised the duvet to check if I was naked or not,thank goodness,I wasn't naked,my action made him burst into laughter,what's funny ?I asked myself. "You actually thought I raped you ?"He asked still laughing,showing his perfect set of white teeth."Did I say anything stupid last night?I asked with my hands on my head,squinting my eyes. "Oh,yes you did,you confessed your undying love for me"He smirked,he was obviously lying.I remembered my reason for my drinking the previous night,the anger just happened to boil up once more. "Take your meds,so you can feel better"He said,his
Michelle's POVI was scrolling through Instagram,when I raised my head to see Jace sitting besides me.That was quick."Hey,Muffin"He said with a mischievous smile on his face."Why are you here?"I scrunched my brows in confusion."I came to keep you company,seeing that your best-friends are nowhere to be found"He replied looking around for them."Oh,I see"I said before taking my drink in my hand and tapping on my phone."About the other night,did you really mean what you said?"He asked rubbing the back of his head."What did I say?"I asked nervously,hoping I didn't say any stupid thing the other night."That you really like me"He replied looking at me. I nearly choked on my drink on hearing those words,did I really say that?!Jesus,I confessed my feelings for him?Oh no,this is bad."What did you say?"I asked again,not sure of what my ears had
Michelle's POV "What subject do we have first today?"I asked my best-friends,we were on the hallway,we just finished assembly."Agricultural Science"Lucas replied checking his notebook. "Agric?!Oh God,on a Monday?!"I frowned."We usually have Agricultural Science as first period on Monday,have you forgotten?You are the assistant class prefect,how can you forget?"Olivia asked walking behind Lucas and I. "What kind of school is this?!"I frowned, asking nobody in particular. "One of a kind"Lucas stated raising his face from his notebook towards me. "Why do you have dark circles on your eyes"I asked Lucas as squinted my eyes."I slept very late last night"He replied yawning."Why?"I scrunched my brows. "I copied my notes and spent the rest of the night solving that math assignment"He explained."I hate maths"I scoffed. "Almost all art studen
Michelle's POV"NEPA!!"Maya screamed from her room,I immediately looked up to see the lights,I knew what was going to happen next and I'm so not loosing this time...I jumped out of my bed and out of my room,hurried downstairs as fast I could before he could beat me to it,taking 3 steps instead of one at a time but he was smarter,he took the slide of the stairs.When we got to the living room,we were struggling for the TV remote."Ha!! I'm in charge once again""In charge?! I got it first""Let it go joor""I'm not releasing this thing""Ouch my hand""Leave it o!"We screamed on top of our voices, struggling for the remote like the way Nigerians struggle for food at parties unfortunately NEPA thought they had a better way of resolving this argument,so they took the light.
Michelle's POV"SS3!Keep quiet o!,you guys are disturbing the peace of this school"Daniel yelled for the third time this morning."He even has strength to talk"Lucas said weakly."Honestly,this class will get us into trouble,I will move to science class if they don't keep quiet"Olivia stated with a frown on her.I only managed to smile at her words.Already in school on a Wednesday morning,my classmates decided to turn our class to a market place,it was really getting on my nerves,I had severe headache and they weren't helping matters with their irritating noise and they are Seniors for God's sake.Well art students are good at noisemaking so it's nothing new That's a lie.On a normal day,I would join in noisemakingSee your life WhateverBut not today,not this week
It was Friday morning,it was the last day of my period so my cramps were gone,I woke up by 5:15AM quite early today. I did all the house chores since everybody was still sleeping,I took my bath and boiled water for Maya since there wasn't water heater in her room. When I finished all the chores and taken my bath,it was 6:47AM,I dressed up and went to my mum's room to greet her,she was already awake praying so I just joined her in prayers. "Good morning,Ma"I greeted as soon we finished prayers. "My baby,morning to you too,how are your night?"She asked,smiling. "It was fine,how was yours?"I asked,grinning. "It was good, I'm very sure,Mason hasn't woken up,so please go and wake up him so that you guys won't go to school late"She stated,walking towards her bathroom."And yes,tell him to feed the dogs after breakfast,he shouldn't forget or else he will collect"She added before entering her
The sound of my ringtone woke me up,"Happy birthday,babe."I heard the deep voice.I didn't bother to check the caller ID because I was too sleepy but I knew who it was,my boyfriend."Thanks babe,are you on your way?."I asked.It was my 25th birthday and yeah,Jace and I are graduates,I went back to Nigeria because I had to sort things out before settling down in the US with him."About that....I won't be able to make it,I have a busy schedule this week."He said across the phone."You can't cancel on your girlfriend's birthday, really?,this is the best gift ever!."I replied angrily."Babe...it's not like that.""Bye."I ended the call,I sighed and covered myself with my duvet,a tear escaped my eyes.What if he's with another girl.I grabbed myself and came online even though,I got messages from college friends,high s
~MICHELLE~My mum announced that we will be getting jamb forms,there's no way I'm going to let that happen,time to enter her bad book."Mummy,I don't want to write jamb....."I stated with a little bit of fear."You will write next year then since you aren't ready."She replied."No,I don't want to write jamb because I don't want to study in Nigeria...""Then you will go to Ghana.""No,mum,I want to study abroad...""There's no money for that!.""There is but you don't want to put your pride and stubbornness aside for your kids.""Michelle!, why are you being selfish?!."Mason yelled."What do you mean by I'm selfish?!."I yelled back."You are just like him,you don't think about anybody,you think I don't know why you want to study in Nigeria so bad!." He argued.
~MICHELLE~He drove us to a park for our picnic date,"Why the park?,your garden would have been nice."I said."We need privacy."I grabbed the picnic basket from the backseat when I got out of the car,"Ugh!!.""What's wrong?!."He rushed to my side."It's quite heavy.""Sorry,let me have it."He gestured for me to bring it.I took a look at the contents in the basket,they were yummy.We took a nice spot,I spread the blanket and we sat down,there were fruits....Strawberry!!A plate of fruit salad separate,peanut butter jar,brownies,slices of different flavours of cake,salads,cookies,muffins,hamburgers,hollandia yogurts,Snickers,McVities butter shortbread biscuits...My favs!!!Bottles of vitamilk and donuts."Can we finish
~JACE~I was already on my way when I called her,I knew she was going to take long.Girls and taking forever to get dressed are like 5&6.I decided that I will hang out with Mason until she's ready,as soon I rang the doorbell,Maya opened the door,the second person I saw was their mum in the living room, probably waiting for someone or something."Good afternoon,ma."I greeted."Afternoon,how are you my dear?."She asked me."I'm fine ma.""Are you guys going somewhere?."She asked curiously.There wasn't any need to lie,my outfit had already betrayed me."Yes ma.""Oh,with?."One of her eyebrows were already raised.This one she's asking all these questions,has she gained suspicion about her daughter and I.
~JACE~I landed on the floor because I wasn't paying attention to the game when Daniel mistakenly pushed me down,why?.Let's just say,my nose and brain got carried away by the scent,I knew that vanilla scent and I wondered if she was around, fortunately for me and unfortunately for her,I knew she was coming."Guy,get up na.""Did you get yourself injured?.""Is your leg okay?."Leo and Mason asked in a concerned tone."Bro,wetin make you fall?."I wasn't paying any attention to them,it was as if they were on mute but I could still hear,crazy right?.There she was,at the entrance of the court,she hadn't my presence yet and if she did,she would try to leave immediately,she was talking to Kimberly and boy oh boy,she was looking so hot in those short
~MICHELLE~"Whoever introduced Maths,let me not say God will judge that person but he will."I cursed as I flipped through my maths textbook.I punched my calculator aggressively as I tried to solve a maths problem,"Take it easy on the calculator na,did it offend you ?."Lucas asked as he sat down next to me."Why does maths exist?!."I asked in frustration."To solve problems I guess.""Yeah and Nigeria is not yet a better place,this is crap."I closed my textbook."Should I tutor you?.""Since when did you like maths?.","I don't know."He shrugged."Aren't you going to the Cafe?.""Nah,I have to finish what I started."I pointed to my maths note and textbook."Oh,should I get you something?.""Don't worry,I sent Maya
~MICHELLE~My mum fainted out of shock when she saw Myles,we managed to wake her up even though I was scared something might go wrong but it didn't."I dreamt...Myles!...my son."She cried as she searched for him."Mummy,calm down,I'm here."Myles assured her.She embraced him in a hug as she cried,we all cried,"You are alive...my son is alive....Thank you..Jesus."My mum screamed."Hey,God...I hope I'm not dreaming...you are really back,Thank you,Father Lord."She went down on her knees and started crying,she rolled on the floor.We let her have her moment,moment of peace,joy and happiness,we all smiled and laughed,"We must do Thanksgiving,this Sunday!."She announced,we all agreed."Yaya,look how big you are."He called her by her nickname.My elder brother and weird nicknames are 5&6.
~MICHELLE~Mason and I stood at Murtala Muhammed International airport, looking around and waiting for whoever was going to pick us up from the airport,our dad told us he sent someone to pick us up,15 minutes had passed and no sign of anybody,all of a sudden,I saw someone creepy staring at us,he wasn't dressed in a driver's uniform if that's a thing,he was walking towards us,I gripped my brother's arms and he noticed why,he didn't budge,we just stood there,waiting for what was about to happen."Are you Mason and Michelle?."He asked us when he got there."Good afternoon,yes,we are."Mason answered."Okay,your dad sent me to pick you guys up,nor vex say I dey look una like that,I dey try check if una be the children when Dem send me make I pick (Don't be angry,if I frightened you with my stares,I was trying to confirm if you were the children that th
~MICHELLE~I sat in front of my vanity table,I was dividing my hair in sections because I wanted to do mini twists,I'm not going to waste my money by going to a salon for just twists or braids,I can do them myself,I thought about my life as I started twisting my hair.Jace was in my brother's room probably talking or playing game,I didn't actually care,I have been avoiding him like a plague,I avoided him at school and whenever he came to our house,I always locked myself in my room,I'm not even going to talk about my brother,I have been giving him the silent treatment,my mum noticed and asked but I always diverted the topic.My only friends were my books and phone,those two always stick around with me,they never gonna leave me and about Lucas,I apologized to him for wrongly accusing him and we are cool.Kim tried to make me forgive the duo but nope,I'm not
