I woke up by 10:00 AM on Saturday,my mum gave me permission to rest on Saturday only,I actually woke up because my brother and probably his friends were disturbing my peace with their video games.
I walked to his room,ready to unleash my anger for ruining my beauty sleep."Nero,what's your problem na?,I cannot have peace again in my mother's house abi"I asked after barging into his room without knocking. I was taken aback by who I saw in my brother's room,Jace Walker-he was light skinned,he had a tall,lean but athletic structure which made him extremely hot and sexy making 95% of D.I.S girls gush over him and his physique was the major reason he was made sports prefect in my school and he was also smart,that counted too,he had an oval face with a pointed note and those hazel eyes arrrgh,making him so damn cute,I could stare into those eyes all day,anyways he is my brother's bestfriend and also my classmate who I had a crush on sometime ago but it died off when I realized he was full-time player and I shouldn't fantasize about some boy who flirts with most girls of D.I.S because he is attractive.
"Hiiiii,I didn't know you were here,when did you come?? Nevermind where is Nero??"I stuttered.
"Oh,he is in the bathroom"Jace replied."Okay"I said walking away."Michelle"He called."Yeah"I said"You look beautiful with your morning face"He complimented"Thanks"I replied while blushing.I walked speedily to my room and went straight to the mirror,I wanted to know if he was making fun of me because I know how boys can be or he was actually right,well I couldn't decide if he was right or not,I spent fifteen minutes staring at my face in the mirror and thinking about his compliment.
"Jeez,stop,is just a compliment,stop blushing so hard"Said my inner voice.
"What??!!,am not blushing"I said and quickly left my room to tidy the house .
After tidying up the house and taking a bath,I settled down to do my literature assignment which ended shortly because of the door bell.
"Is Mich at home?"Olivia asked.
"Yes, where else will she be?? You know she doesn't go out and why are you here sef??,You just disturbed my game"Mason replied rudely.
"I came to see my boyfriend mtchw and who asked you if I know she doesn't go out or not??!!Oga is Mich at home??!!Oversabi"Olivia snapped eyeing him from head to toe.
Did I forget to mention that my brother is rude and He and Olivia do not agree at all,they literally hate each other. Jace and I hurried downstairs before they finish each other with hurtful comebacks.
"Now Oli Sweetheart,dont stress your sweet voice or waste your saliva on him,I know he is annoying don't mind him"Jace intervened.
"Olivia baby,hotcake you are looking hot today o!!"I hailed her while on our way to my room.
I closed my door and brought my books out so Oli and I could study.
"You didn't tell me Jace was here na"Olivia said
"Ah ah,I didn't think it would be important if I told you that one "I replied.
"Anyways,let's do this literature assignment and forget about Mr Cute before Mr John slaughter us on Monday"She said.
"Thank God,you know"I giggled.
"Good morning Sir"We greeted Principal Paul after he walked into our class with a new girl.
"She seems nice"I whispered to Olivia.
"I know right"Olivia whispered yelled to me.
"So class,as you can see,with me here is a new student"Principal addressed us.
"I am leaving now, introduce yourself to your new classmates and try to fit in"Principal said to the new girl in a friendly manner.
The principal left the class and everyone was trying to introduce themselves to her.Daniel,our class prefect was the first to speak up first.
"Hi,I'm Daniel,the prefect of this class,Welcome to SS3 Art class"He addressed her.
"I'm Ifeyinwa Okorie,Nice to meet you all"She said while wearing a wide smile.
Ifeyinwa was chocolate skinned,of average heights and seemed to have a happy-go-lucky nature,she was also beautiful.
Everybody was still introducing themselves when our form mistress,Miss Chioma walked into our class.
"I heard we have a new student"She said.
"Yes ma!!We do"We all replied her
"Okay,good where is she??"She asked
Ifeyinwa stood up with her backpack and introduced herself,Miss Chioma assigned her a seat with Tobi as her seatmate whose seat was next to us.
"Hi,I'm Olivia and this is Michelle,I hope you are fitting in perfectly"Olivia introduced ourselves to her.
"Yes,I'm fitting in quite well,Thank you"She replied while smiling.
"I think we all are going to be good friends"Olivia whispered to me.
It was time for break,we showed Ifeyinwa the places in the school and we headed for the cafeteria.
"This school is nice,I like it"Ifeyinwa said to us.
"I know right,you know it is one of the best schools in Asaba"Olivia said.
I have been quiet for unknown reasons since we finished showing her around the school, SS3 Science boys were walking towards us with Jace along with them.For some reasons I seemed happy to see him
"You definitely still have a crush on him"My subconscious said.
"Hell no"I said aloud fighting back that thought.
"Are you okay"Jace asked bringing me back to reality.
"Emmm...yeees I am,how are you??"I replied while stuttering the whole time.
"Okay then,you must be the new girl,nice to meet you, I'm Jace from SS3 Science class"He introduced himself to Ifeyinwa.
"I'm Ifeyinwa......"She blushed.
She was cut short by the next statement from Jace.
"Nice name for an attractive girl,it suits you"Jace remarked.
He winked at her and walked away with his hands in his pocket leaving her looking like a red tomatoe.
"He is so cute,why am I not in science class sef"She said more like a statement than a question.
"You are not serious"Olivia chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and walked away,I didn't want to be suffocated by Jace's talk all over.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Olivia!!!!!"Everybody screamed as soon as Olivia walked into the class."Is today my birthday ??"She asked with an expression of surprise and feigning forgetfulness."Don't mind me joor,awwwn thanks you guys,you all remembered muaaah!!"She said blowing kisses in the air to us."Lest I forget, I'm holding a birthday party/pool party by 2:30PM to celebrate so you all are invited"She screamed."Osheeey,birthday girl"Ifeyinwa said hailing her."I can't wait to eat cake "I said laughing"You and food sef"Olivia replied while laughing."Ehn,leave it "I giggled.Friday was the perfect day for her party because we close from school every Friday by 1:30 PM.When I got home I took my bath and relaxed alittle while preparing the speech to tell my mum about my outing although that won't be a problem since my brother is going to the party so I will be allowed to go as well.I wore a simple red short gown with sleet ends and a jean j
I kissed Tobi in front of everyone with the big lie that he is my crush,I could feel eyes on me but one I could feel and see was that anger, surprise and disappointment.I quickly left for the pool so that I could be alone to think of my action and it's consequences and besides things were already awkward because of my action,Olivia was running behind me,trying to gain my attention I didn't give her a listening ear I just wanted to be left alone or probably go home. I sat close to the pool still thinking of my action when I felt a hand on my shoulder,it was Olivia."What are you doing here?You are supposed to be with your guests you know"I forced a smile."Well,we are about to cut the cake and is also getting late"She replied trying to force me back inside."Okay then,I will be there shortly"I lied looking at the pool."I know you are not coming,you are obviously lying and is because of th
Michelle's POVMy sleep was interrupted by the knock on my door,I told whoever it was to come in,hoping it was my mum.It happened to be Jace,I was surprised and actually became uncomfortable.Why are you uncomfortable now that he is here,you don't still like him,Do you ?No I don't like him.Then good,get your shit together.What if he brings up the kiss.He won't.How do you know that,is not as if you are in his mind or something.I argued with my subconscious"Hellloooo!!Michelle"Jace said bringing me back to reality."I hope you are not here to make out with me in my mother's house"I said jokingly."No na!I don't want to die now and if we ever want to make out,it won't be here"He said in a flirty manner while winking at me.Michelle,Do not fall for this!!!"Emm... alri
Jace's POV I was dared to make out with one of the girls who has crush on me and dump her afterwards,there were alot I mean alot of them including Junior students and Michelle but I choose Ifeyinwa, alittle heartbreak will make her calm and sober for awhile. I texted her and told her to come to Mason's house and she came in a jiffy.Mason and the boysknew about the dare excluding Michelle and some other people. This will be fun This will be the perfect opportunity for me to make Mich jealous. I drag Ifeyinwa to the guest room to have few talks with her before the main deal,to my utmost surprise she started the whole thing.We kissed but it didn't feel right,she only kissed me because she likes me and I kissed her because of a dare but things didn't end well, Michelle caught us and I could see anger and pain in her eyes who wouldn't be angry
Jace's POV "Jaaaace!!"Noah,my little stepbrother came running to my room screaming my name."Wassup champ"I responded as I lowered to his level."Daddy is calling you"He answered shining his little teeth. He's so adorable "Okay"I replied leaving my room to the living room where my dad was.So my dad is a bank manager,he also has a big hotel and supermarket with some other businesses so he is rich maybe filthy rich but it doesn't matter... "Good evening, Dad"I greeted him ignoring Maria,my stepmum who hates me."Good evening to you too"Maria responded.Bitch it wasn't for you "Son,sit!"He said with his hands indicating such.I wonder what's wrong He cleared his throat before he dropped the bomb "Maria and I have decided that your presence won't be needed in this house anymore"He stated
Michelle's POVHe wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and whispered into my ears with a seductive voice"You look so fucking hot in this dress,it's so seductive"He complimented biting his lips.He slowly spun me around and smashed his lips against mine,it was so passionate,our lips moved in sync,making me release a moan I have been holding when he grabbed my ass and.."Michelle,what are you thinking of?Chop those onions quickly"My mum said bringing me out of my imaginations to reality.She must have called my name,a thousand times."Sorry mum,here you go"I apologized handing her a plate of chopped onions.The Date is today, well I don't really think is a date,we just gonna hang out in some restaurant and talk about different things,I think that's a date.I used this opportunity to tell my mum about my outing today
Weeks passed without Jace talking to me or rendering an apology,I felt really stupid,test week was already over,mid-term break came along and Jace decided to have few classmates over at house to chill and have fun.Mason was invited of course, should I say VVIP?!Some other students who were fun and friends of Jace were invited over including Joan.I decided to go so he could see I am totally fine and not hurt by what had happened.The mini party started,we played video games,ate,drank and yeah!!We played Truth or Dare and it changed everything....The bottle was spinned and it landed on Daniel,our class prefect and Head Boy."Truth or Dare"Kim asked biting her lips.What now?!"Truth"He replied with a smile on his face."Who's your crush in the school"Kim asked probably hoping her name will be mentioned.
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
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
