"Congratulations to you all" the principal finished his beautiful speech.
All the seniors students threw their caps up the air as it is always done when one is graduating. The families of these students were also clapping and held happy expression for this special day. The air was filled with laughter and happiness. It really was a sight worth seeing.
Each of the students went ahead to look for their families. Pictures were snapped, joked were past and so many other thing you could think of.
" Abby " Lucy shouted out. People turn to look at the crazy girl shouting, who just couldn't hold her happiness. She return a sheepish smile at them. Abby ran to her friend and hug the life out of her
" we are now a graduate"
"of course we are. Let's find the rest" they walk hand in hand. They saw Laila with her parents and decided to allow her have her time
Few years laterLucy groaned for the tenth times. Life as a college student hasn't been easy on her at all. The constant assignments,test and let's not forget about the lack of time she to take care of herself. She stared at disheveled self through the standing mirror. She touched her cheeks and was almost scared of it dryness . She groaned." I'm turning ugly" she muttered to herself." Who's turning ugly?"Lucy almost yelled,scared at the sudden intruder. She touched her beating chest when she saw that it was just her room mate Sarah." I'm sorry, didn't mean to scare you like that " Sarah apologised sheepishlyLucy glared at her " Gosh you almost gave me a scare. I thought it's a burglar or something !"" I'm sorry. Please forgive me " Sarah said doing the puppy eyes look " but wait, who where you calling ugly?" She s
IVAN'S POV" I'm sick and tired of all the bullshit man. You didn't even put in your best to see that we won the match" an annoyed William said.Ivan turned deaf ears, he wasn't in the mood for any argument. He rolled his eyes at his roommate then lay flat on the bed." Leave me alone"William scoffed " why should I? You just messed up the whole thing and you're saying I should leave you alone?! No I won't"" Then keep on barking then" Ivan hissed then packed his duvet and was about reaching for the door when his friend stopped him by blocking his way." What is it man? Why aren't you even showing any ounce of concern. The guys aren't happy that we lost the match because of you"Ivan rubbed his face out of frustration" I just want to be alone Williams. In the first place I didn't want to play any match but you had to force me and now see
Ivan groaned as his roommate ignored him. He tried apologizing for his mistake but Williams wasn't giving him any listening ears. He sighed about to give up." I said I was sorry William why are you behaving like a small child for God's sake!"Williams scoffed " Like seriously, you call me a small child. Wait for a minute, are you even apologising or you're insulting me because I don't seem to know the difference here"Ivan rubbed his face out of frustration. He never knew this was going to be harder for him " ok fine. I'm sorry for what I did yesterday"" What exactly did you do?"Ivan groaned " please don't do this right now. Why are you making this hard for me Williams, you of all people should know that something was up last night"" I don't want to know whatever it is, same as yo
" Lucy don't put words in my mouth please" Ivan pleaded" But that's what you're implying. You saying you don't know what to say sounds as if you're already giving up on this relationship" Lucy vent out." Enough lucy, please. I'm trying my best here Lucy but you seems to want to make everything even more harder than it is. I should be the one angry right now after what you did but you're here blaming me for something I didn't even say for crying out loud. Can't you see that I'm trying to keep calm!"...Lucy went quiet " I said I was sorry. You of all people should know me best. I'll never cheat on you. What you saw last night was just drunk Lucy, i wasn't in my right senses as at then. Please forgive me Ivan. I'm deeply sorry" she softly said.They both went silent." I love you lucy. I mean, I still do!" He broke the silence " I've never loved anyone like I do you and it scares
The whether was different today instead of the normal cool whether they were used to, it was kinda hot and alot of students couldn't stop complaining about it. It made everything hard and tiring for them. If it was the same cool whether, things would go smoothly. Even the jocks that loves playing football decided to just stay in door because it will be unbearable if they play a match in this sunny whether." Look at how I'm sweating" Ivan exaggerated as he sat on the concrete floor pouring water down his body.Williams also felt same. He downed down his bottle water and poured the rest over his head " it's like the world war man. I can't imagine when last I felt this way. It's just so tiring and surprising at the same time"Ivan chuckled " so how are we going to do with today's match ? "" I really don't know yet . I think the coach will cancel it till tomorrow, hopefully."" I h
Sarah breath in as the chill breeze blew. She smiled loving the whether. Harmattan season is just something she cherish the most, the chilliness, how nice it has always been is something she loves most. This is why most of the time she wish she had a boyfriend .This whether will be nice for cuddling. She sighed sadly.She unplugged the ear buds then found somewhere nice to sit down. She knew she kinda went over board leaving the house just so Lucy can have a nice talk with her boyfriend. The truth is she has been meaning to just have a walk to think about thinks that has been bothering her lately. One of it which is the guy she loved in her class who doesn't reciprocate the feeling.She pouted sadly remembering the hurt she felt when she saw him with another girl and he was smiling at her pain. She just wanted a simple and Happy life but having that seems impossible." Life can be what it is sometimes" she sighed again
" Ok I'm sorry" Lucy apologised while doing the puppy eyes look.Sarah glared at her " Don't beg me. Leave me alone"Lucy who was sat on the edge of Sarah bed laughed. Sarah's actions are just too funny " but wait Sarah, were you really expecting someone's call?"" It's non of your business"..." My dear friend , it's actually my business. You're my property and who so ever you're dating or wants to date you must pass through me. I'm very sure this said person is a guy because you wouldn't bevave this way if it isn't"Sarah groaned " you're annoying"" You've said that for like twenty times already" she chuckled" I'll leave this room"" You go no where unless you tell me who this guy is!" Lucy wiggled her brows.Sarah couldn't help it so she burst out laughing" why do you see joy in frustra

ONE YEAR LATERLucy smiled at the brightened stars.She feels that her dreams has come through and she couldn't be happy less. This past few months had been a rollercoaster for her . So many had happened in just a short period of time but luckily for her everything is now in place and nothing else is more exciting as that .She is now a full graduate. Yes, she had graduated from her University. It's just like yesterday when things seems to be hard for her at school but now look at her, a full graduate.That smile still refuses to wipe off. It just as if she was created with it , joking." Lucy"She went back inside at the call of her mom . She locked the door and went straight to the kitchen to meet her ." Mom? You called"Her mom turned around to face her with a wide smile " you won't believe who just ca
Life is just a hustle. One only strive to survive. Today is the day. The day of the match and unfortunately for Ivan he can't make it because his sickness worsen earlier this morning. He had to be rushed to the hospital if not he might collapsed.Ivan was sad that he couldn't be in the Match. His fellow team mate assured him not to be worried because they know his condition and they also know how he has always wanted to participate in this game today.Ivan was still sad no matter what people said to make him feel better. Nothing hurt more than this. He put his all into this coming game and the worse is he infact didn't even have Lucy's time all because of this game and then here he was laying on a hospital bed looking at the ceiling with no one to keep him company. Williams is a player too so he needs to be at the field since the game is about to begin.He groaned loudly that infact, he even got the attention of hi
Lucy's mom yawned loudly as she woke up from sleep. She smiles loving how cool the weather was today. She stared at the girls who were also sleeping beside her. She smiled because her heart was filled with content. All she can say right now is, she is happy.She got up quietly not wanting to wake the girls up. She entered into the bathroom and did her business. Few minutes later she came out fully changed.She decided to surprise the girls with a delicious morning breakfast and luckily for her she got to find out that spaghetti is Sarah's favorite same as her daughter's. She brought out all the ingredients and then began cooking..**Ivan felt groggy. He wasn't getting himself at all. He felt feverish and it wouldn't be nice if any form of sickness is about to set in. It wouldn't be nice at all because his football game is tomorrow and he had waited long for it.He groaned again
The girls were amazed by what Lucy's mother said. They couldn't help the surprised look on their face." Girls the reason why I told you this story is just to share you guys little about my live. I didn't grow up in a rich home and I made sure i strive to reach where I am today"Lucy cleared her throat " I have a question mom"" shoot"." Who is Lucretia in the story?"Her mother chuckles " To you who do you think Lucretia was amongst us?"" Abby's mom?" Answered Lucy but she wasn't sure." Wrong" her mother chuckledThe two girls stared at her in shock " you're Lucretia?"She nodded her head " yes I am Lucretia"" I can't believe this. So grandma susan isn't your mom?" Lucy asked in confusion." Nope she isn't. She is my second family. We are not related by blood
James paused for a minute not knowing what to say." Are you sure you're ready? I'll be so happy if truly you are because Ivan is also schooling over there"" Wow, you don't mean it . Ivan is here ?"" Yes Abby . He is and he too couldn't believe it "" And we haven't met! I can't believe it . I need to reconnect with him. Its high time we all meet. I can't wait for this to be all over. So I can now have time for myself and my love ones"James chuckles " it's just a matter of time. Everything will fall into place"Abby sighed " I hope so"" You just wait and see"" Alright if you say so. By the way we've been talking about other things, we didn't even talk about ourselves."James laughed " but we're good and we always do that all the time . We talk about ourselves."
" mom you didn't answer"Lucy's mom signed " I really don't know dear. Abby's mom just went MIA without even informing me or anyone. I'm still in surprise that she can actually do that to me of all people"Lucy sat upright. Now she really felt it, her mom does feels lonely and it pains her to know that." I wish we know some of their relatives. We would have asked them about their where about"Her mom nodded in agreement " you're right dear. We would have at least gotten a clue from them. Last I heard was, her senior brother requested for her to come live with him. He built a big house that can accommodate them all. But I really don't know how true it is."" Everything just seems confusing. Abby didn't say anything to me and now her mother didn't say anything to you Mom. I just hope they're not in any form of danger or some sort. While we were at high school, Abby always have a d
