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
Michelle's POV Exam week finally came to an end,I just finished my last paper,I headed to my class in excitement as the bell was rung for the end of exam for everybody,we headed to our various classes talking with our friends about the exam,I got to class and everywhere was already noisy. Typical "Chelle!"Olivia screamed,running towards me and hugging me."My madam!"I hailed her."How are you and where is Lucas?"I asked looking around. "He is with the guys in science class"She replied."Okay,so how was Agricultural Science and CRS?"I asked,waiting for the complains to follow. "Mtchww,I couldn't finish CRS no time,that woman just packed Narrate this Narrate that, explain this explain that,State state,mtchww!"She complained. "As for Agric,mtchwww!Rubbish,I wonder why I even offered that subject sef"She hissed,I bursted into laughter,holding my s
I stood in front of my mirror observing my outfit,I wore a white top with a denim penciled dungarees and my white sneakers,I applied mascara and lipgloss as usual,I loosed my hair the previous night and stretched it,ready to showcase my 15 year old afro hair.Yap I have never cut my hair before it grew with me since I clocked 2 as a toddlerI quickly packed it into a neat bun,I didn't want to let it down because of the heat it would create,I won't stop touching my hair and last but not the least if I let my hair down, people will start touching it especially the boys,they wouldn't miss an opportunity to touch or drag my hair."Michelle!For the last time,get out of your room,why are you wasting time?We are going to be late"Mason yelled from downstairs."I'm coming!"I yelled back from my room,I checked the time,we had 20 minutes left,I quickly locked my mini box,locked my room and went downstairs to
It was the second day of our trip and we were at the beach,the weather seemed to favour us as it was sunny,the perfect time for the beach but there I was sitting on one of the beach chairs in a white shirtdress which was tied in the middle with a belt,viewing and appreciating how beautiful the ocean was,I got tired,I grabbed my phone to check my social media accounts. Poke "Lucas" Poke "Lucas,stop it" Poke "Lucas,go away" "We are at the beach,we supposed to have fun and here you are scrolling through whatever"He retorted from behind. I didn't bother to look at me,I continued scrolling through Tiktok "Drop the phone" "I'm not doing that"I replied,still watching videos. "You won't right?" "Nope"I answered popping the P. "Okay then"He
*knock knock* I opened the door slightly to see Lucas standing in front of me. "Hey,Mich,can we talk?" "Sure,come in"I opened the door wide,gesturing for him to come in. "No,actually,I want us to talk privately at the pool side"He said. "Umm..okay,give me 5 minutes" "Okay,I will be waiting for you outside"He replied before leaving. Talk about what ? I changed into an overall,the beach outing was fun and also mysterious because Jace kept stealing glances at me and both Lucas and Jace kept glaring at each other all times their eyes met,I wonder what's up with them Olivia was already asleep,she seemed tired from the outing Mason's princess I smiled and walked out of the room to meet Lucas at the pool side,the hotel looked beautiful at night espe
He stepped closer to me,every step he took towards me made my heart beat rapidly and I breathed heavily as if I fought for oxygen,he was obviously drunk and his state made me believe he would take advantage of me as we locked together in a room. When he got close enough, enough for me to perceive his cologne,I arched my back with my hands on the table,I didn't want us to be that close.He gripped my hands,"Ugh...I think I have a problem"He chuckled,he stepped back and used his hand to rub his forehead."I can't stop thinking about you"He asserted with a frustrating tone in his voice. "You are constantly on my damn mind and it's driving me crazy""Muffin,why?"He asked in a very sweet tone. I kept silent,looking at him like he was talking rubbish,he's drunk I guess."You must think I'm really drunk right now"He read my mind.He stepped closer than ever and look straight into my eyes"Yes,I'm
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
