2020-07-24 08:47:06I walked into the hostel in a better mood than I had been, not like I had forgiven Timi totally or my insecurities were vanished but it had been out on the bay. Not just because of the proclamation. But the expression in which it was passed. It had lightened me a little, or maybe more than a little. But yeah, it had removed part of the little weight I was harboring on my shoulders.
The words, the emotions brewing through his face as he spoke those words into my already dangling heart. The tender look on his face as he had placed his palm at my temple and as his intent gaze h

I entered into class with almost everyone present. The civic teacher stood at the centre of the room commanding all students to look at him as he often used his hands as a gesture to emphasize more on the point he was trying to make.Walking past his short form, I did not miss the stink eye he passed me as I rounded the middle of different white plastic lockers and chairs to get to my seat. My bags made a loud sound as I dropped it on getting to my seat and again, Mr Onko shot me a deadly glare.

SarahThe well lit room in Tunji's hostel was a beautiful sight to behold. The white light occupies almost every hole of the ceiling unlike that of the girls hostel, which had most of the bulbs burnt out. Little fans were also not far from the lights as they blew on my head, sending wisps of my hair, over my forehead. I sighed welcoming the breeze it provided, it flowed around my skin, soothing and calming it,

TemiWe had come back for prep late, when almost everyone had left the hall. Of course, Timi has been the one to delay me, initiating different techniques to get me to kiss or touch him, to end his punishments.The hallway leading to my dormitory was really quiet as the only sound that could be heard was that of crickets who had managed to enter into the hostel, disturbing students from their sleep. Prep had been fun, apart from the several weird glances I had received from Sarah. It could have even be counted as glare.I had ransacked my brain for anything I must have done to cause that but it had been to no avail, maybe she was just in a really bad mood. The door was close by already till a voice called out to me."Oh jeez, Sarah you almost gave me a fright." I jumped a little at her form that had been standing close to the entrance of the door blocked by the

We were aligned and arranged vertically as the head teacher of the senior secondary school three stood perimeters away from the entrance, calling each students by their surname, as he positioned them in seats by the same order. I was dressed in my neatly ironed uniform, my hair braided all back, Timi was standing next to me, towering over my form.Tunji stood not too far from Timi, he would turn around and look at me sometimes, but I paid no attention to him, Sarah was two heads away from me. I was giving her time, I had been doing that but it was starting to get on my nerves coupled with Timi not knowing anything about it. It had been like a burden I had been carrying on my shoulders with no one to help me. She should know better than to let a boy come between us. If boys had the bros before hoes rule, shouldn't we have ours. I understand that she got her heart broken, but she should understand that I never meant to hurt her. What am I even saying, I didn't do

TunjiI walked into the large office and slowly closed the door behind me. Turning around to be faced with the chestnut colored book shelf with different books arranged neatly in them. Walking in further, I was met with my father's office desk with different paper works scattered around it. Mum's picture rested on the desk, cladded in a big frame with hearts around it.It had been a long time the office had been graced my presence. I had always avoided going into his office as it brought back many memories of things I don't want to be reminded of, but I had to do what had to be done. He was a lawyer and a business associate with Timi's father. If anyone had the evidence I was looking for, he had to be the one.I pushed and pulled several lockers as I searched for what was on my head, going through different files and documents, I couldn't find what I was looking for. He had to have it! He had to! He should

The breeze shoveled around, causing the collision of sets trees to give a whistling sound, the flying around of students question paper as they rounded up the last paper for the examination. I was finished already, and was still looking for a way to talk to Sarah as it had been precisely a month we had stopped talking. The West African Examination ended today with a subject of economics and I could already feel my shoulders sag from the tension I had been carrying. I am so glad we are done, I can't wait for secondary school to b over for me, I need a break.We were to go home for a short break for a week before resuming back for the other exam, NECO. The weather had turned disastrous as the shy darkened and the breeze increased simultaneously, now and then a great howl will sound across the room caused by the wind outside.I got up from the designated hard well furnished wood chair linked together with a locker, my buttoc

TemiThe continuous humming of the moving fan blown by the breeze escaping through the window pavement could have counted as a distraction if I were truly concentrating on my environment. The windows shattered against their frame as a howling sound rose, my mother's sighs and humms filled the house, coming from the kitchen where she was preparing a special delicacy as she had called it.Three weeks had passed after the huge bomb that had been revealed on me and I had done everything to avoid Timi. I couldn't go back to the hostel, not after that. Sarah and I were not on talking terms, Ope was the girlfriend of Fikkie, who was the best friend to Timi. The very one I had been avoiding for three weeks. I asked for a break up and it looked like he was respecting the decision and I am glad he did seems like he was in a shock of his own.Tunji was a topic I was wishing to not dwell on because anytime I remembered what he had d

The last day of NECO rolled in like a dice and I wouldn't say I wasn't a little bit happy. I was done with secondary school unofficially though but it was all the same, being done with secondary school meant no waking up early in the morning and disturbace from my sweet sleep, no uniform, no annoying teachers, it just meant freedom, and who doesn't just love freedom?I haven't started talking to Sarah since she was still ignoring me due to the whole Tunji incident, I had started talking to Ope like before, also same as Fikkie but I always avoided them anytime Timi was seen coming close or was close by. One time I was with them when I had sighted Timi approaching, I had gotten up without a word and walked away quickly, and he looked hurt by my actions.I had managed to spend the remaining of the exam period running and hiding away from him and trust me when I say it wasn't easy, that had to be a big achievement happening during the exam

"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.

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.

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.
