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.

"Lucas,stop it"

"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
Lucas's POVI fixed a day to hangout with my girlfriend,Michelle. I wasn't actually sure if she actually liked me that was the major reason for our hang-out.It was 9:00AM when I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing.Who the hell wants to blow up my phone!I checked my phone to see an unknown number.MysteriousI wanted to call back and ask who it was but I thought against it,I was still battling with my subconscious whether or not to call back when my phone rang again. I answered the call and waited for the caller to speak first,a sweet feminine voice spoke"Hello"Could it be?"Who's this?" I asked.Silence "I said who is this?"I asked again,the tone of my voice already loud.
I sat in front of my vanity table,doing nothing but staring at my reflection,I could hear Mason make whining sounds as he headed to my room."What do you think you are doing?,staring at your reflection,could you hurry up,you just have the habit of making everyone late"He whined,his face held a frown.I expected exactly what he came out from his mouth,he was already dressed,he wore a skyblue long sleeve,a red tie hanging on the collar of the shirt,in a blue suit with a cream coloured trousers."Look,if you want to leave,you can,I know the way to my school"I eyed him.We were already late to my school dance or should I say class dance? Thanks to Leo,we were able to convince Principal to organize it for us, should I call it Prom?We told him,our set wanted to do something different for the school before we left so he agreed to it,we had already done our Christmas carol,it wasn't that bad.
Days passed with my life being awfully boring,my friends acting weird like shit,after my little argument with Jace, he's been avoiding me like a plague, anytime he visited Mason,he acted as if I was invisible,I was kind of hurt but I guess it was for the best,I was already in a relationship and if I continued hanging out with Jace,I will end up doing something I might regret.Olivia,my bestfriend has been acting quite distant up lately,I don't know why,she and Mason are officially a couple,she only talked to me when she needed something,she paid all her attention to her boyfriend.Love,look what you make some people doLet's not talk about my boyfriend and bestfriend,Lucas,out of everybody in my life acting strange, he's the worst,I don't even understand,after that day,I thought he would call later in the day to apologize or sweet talk me but he didn't. Everytime I started a conversation with him on WhatsApp or an
Michelle's POVI had sent Lucas a message on WhatsApp to inform him that I would be coming over to his place so we could discuss my issue with Olivia,he didn't reply,I was already getting used to that,I assumed he had seen the message because obviously he would see it on his chat list. I headed to his house after getting ready,I just wore a red hoodie and black tights,when I got to his house,I called him but he didn't pick up,I was about to ring the doorbell when his Elder brother,Nonso opened the door."Good morning""Oh,yeah, morning, Michelle right?""Yes""Sorry,is Lucas at home?"I asked as his brother headed towards their big gate in haste. "Um..I don't know,I just came to pick me up something,I haven't seen him,ask one of the maids"He yelled from a short distance.I walked into the house and saw one of the maids,"Um.. excuse me,is Lucas at home?"I as
Jace's POVIt's been days since I spoke to Michelle,we have clearly been ignoring each other,okay no,let me rephrase that,I have been ignoring her,I wasn't mad at her about her relationship with Lucas,I was angry because she didn't believe me,okay fine,I have done few terrible things to her that have hurt her but Lucas,I can bet thathe would do worse,I kept my distance from her,it was for the best even though it was hard to do so but I had no choice,I distracted myself by flirting with other girls which I know it's a bad thing to some people."So,guy,wassup with you and Olivia?Have you guys settled?"I inquired from Mason who was thinking deeply of something. "Mtchwew,nooo,I don't even know what's her problem, I'm tired,I can't continue begging her,she didn't even give me a chance to explain"He whined. I burst into hearty laughter to the dismay of Mason,"what's making this one laugh?"He eyed me playfully.
Jace's POVDays turned into weeks after the incident and it was already a New Year but it wasn't like the rest maybe to only me and the Adigheji's,she hasn't still woken up,her family spent the entire Christmas holiday at the hospital praying and hoping that she would wake up but she didn't,her eyes were still shut tight,they laughed and even spoke about old good memories but she didn't still budge,I was there on Christmas day with them to cheer Mason up,he was a total mess,he always acted like he didn't care about his sister since according to Michelle,he was a tyrant,always bossing people around,he was pretty good at hiding his caring personality,it was the first time and year that she missed Christmas and it was because of that four lettered word called LOVE,okay let me rephrase that it was because she was shown LOVE by the wrong person,speaking of Lucas and his female sidekick,they had kept their distance from he
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
