We were alone in the classroom. I was alone with him and I had nowhere to run to or escape. He was standing in front of me, his face carrying a fond look as he looked at my form like he had been starving from it. His eyes roamed all over me and I felt the heat follow through as his eyes landed over my lips, taking a little time before looking finally at my eyes.
I was speechless, standing immobile at the edge of the table with a thundering heart. He was a distant from me as he stared at me with intense eyes. I was breathing hard and fast like he was actually touching me. The feeling was scary and at the same time pleasing. Sparks that had been missing in my body buzzed around me like a grinding machine and I felt heat pull around in my core.
The hairs on my body stood up as I felt goosebumps begin to come out. I was feverish and at the same time, I was cold. The feeling was intense. The power he had over me was just too much an
TunjiFew hours ago.I had seen them together again. The both of them. Kora had called a lame meeting regarding the prom, which I could care less about. I had been waiting by the side, ransacking through all the heads of the students as they filed out. I was waiting for her to come outside so I could have a word with her. Was hoping that she would at least give me a chance and hear what I had to say.When Ope had pushed her into that lab room after Timi had poked his head out, I knew and I finally realized I stood no chance with him. Her eyes had gained this sparks which had been missing in them and it dawned on me that I could never rouse that reaction out of her. They both loved each other deeply and there was nothing I could do about it, it seems like their stars were crossed, like they were destined for faith to be with each other and I was just to stand and watch from afar.Even if she did
6 years later.Temi."Hey mum, yeah, I just landed. There's no need for you to come pick me. I know my way around, I mean it's just few years. Okay mum." I replied all to my mum as I dragged my traveling box behind me, the box making tumbling and racking sound.Phew.It had been six years. Six years ago, I had left everything behind, going and moving on for a new change which I had found.I had traveled to New York City, to study more on children and I had ended up become a child therapist. It had been a painful pathway with my mum but yeah, I had done it.The family members that had been threatening for child custody were all refused immensely after being taken to the court of law. Since I had been sixteen, the judge had asked me to choose and obviously, I had chosen mum.I was a children therapist, rooted in counseling and psychological theories, a child psychologist, an expert on how to help children manage depression, mental illness and evaluating children who are experiencing emot
6 years later.
Where were these voices coming from? Where was the humble abode they had shielded themselves in? Was it the handwork of fluttering imaginations? Was it the continuous humming of hallucinations?They were louder today. These taunting voices, like reflected sounds of waves, flowing periodically and conditioned permanently.
TemiThe tick tok of the alarm clock next to my bed reminded me of the brief time to round up the revisions I've been doing ever since I came back from prep hall yesterday.The past days had been excruciating because of the test we started three days ago and the whole school has been tense ever since. Darting my

TunjiMy plan is failing. This wasn't supposed to happen. She doesn't even really talk to me. I was supposed to get closer to her. My queen. My heart everything. She wouldn't know what she has done but she has taken my heart with her. And she doesnt know it.I watched Temiloluwa
Darkness, suffocation consumed me as I crawled back into my mind cooped cage.The darkness, customized for only me. Custody?They must be insane to dare take me into their custody. Where were they when my mother had to take care of me?
"Actually, it's my daughter going in and I would be the one waiting outside." My mothers voice coolly interrupted the nurse and I felt a deep sadness well up in me.It was abnormal. It was not a normal thing to have a young teenager seeing a therapist in the African continent, especially a Nigerian country and the feeling I had always tried to swallow of how different I was, was of no help at that moment.
We were to go home for a short break of a week before resuming back for the other exam, NECO. The weather turned disastrous as the shy darkened and the breeze increased simultaneously.I got up from the designated hard well furnished wood chair linked together with a locker. It was tome, examination over. Time to finally take a short breathe and sleep for hours.
"Knock, knock." Timi helped himself in after I was done struggling with laying the bed."Aren't you like meant to actually knock rather than saying it?" I rolled my eyes at him as I moved back dodging his hands that tried to push me to him."Well duh, I did something and why are you avoiding me?" he questio
Alone in the empty common room, my mind was far from being peaceful even with the TV playing at the far end of the large common room. Plastic chairs were scattered around the place, that it could be mistaken for a party. The different notebooks of lazy students lay hopelessly on the tiled ground and I shook my head involuntarily.sigh, some students.
While hanging out with Kora yesterday, who come to think of it, I spend more time with than before, she had asked me a particular question, and I had been moon struck."Are you really her friend?"
At least I prevented the raining shouts and arguments that would have transpired between me and my mom but still, the distaste of Mondays was one thing I could never get rid off. I sometimes wonder why Monday to Friday was five days but Friday to Monday is a whole different story, short, too short that all I could think of is when next it would be Friday again. It was Monday only and I already felt the same.The classroom was filled with stylus students, normal nerds wearing glasses and flaring uniforms, positioned at various ends of the class(majorly the front roll). They each had at l
"Wake up lazy bun, today is a wonderful day. We get to go home, we get to taste better food. Get up!!" I exclaimed dramatically, finally getting up from my bed, depositing my legs in my black comfy slippers."Stand up let's get ready. Well, I don't blame you. On a norms, you would have been in school by this time." I tapped her lightly, stretching on my full tips so as to where she lay on her top bunk.
Mum had gone very early in the morning while I was still sleeping, leaving only me and my thoughts in the house. Regarding the white cream colored sturdy wall in the living room, I pondered idly on what I could use my time to do. In a moment of deciding on which series to watch, a pop from my phone signified me of a message notification.Timi💖 : Heyzz
