In my room reflecting on what happened today, having mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Joy because I have patched things up between myself and Sandra but sadness because of the state in which Ayo was in.
I wonder if I will ever hear his voice again, then the thought of me and Sandra almost kissing came to my mind like a flash which made me smile in the midst of my sadness.
“Miss Esther just spoiled the show."
I said out loud to myself.I wondered what Sandra's lips would taste like? I closed my eyes and started to visualize I was holding Sandra in my arms and about to give her a kiss....
Knock!!knock!!
What the FUCK! I can't even kiss her in my own imagination without being interrupted!
“Who is that!!!!" I said in a frown.
“It's me," I heard Felicia voice say.
What can this girl possibly want? I wondered. Guess I will have to find out.
“Come in, the door isn't locked."
Felicia walked
Two days passed, me and Sandra had become very close, but she wasn't yet my girlfriend, hopefully I should ask her out this Saturday if everything goes as planned, the inter house sport practice was still on going so in a week we only have lectures on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday while Tuesday and Friday are for inter house sport practiceEmeka have been quiet since is as if nothing had happened between us, I know it most hurt him seeing me and Sandra together despite all he did to separate us but I don't think he will give up that easily so I always watch my back,sadly Ayo's condition hasn't improved despite doctors effort, they have even advice his parent to cut off his life support cus they see no sign of improvement, but his parent refuse to pull the plug that still kept there son alive although this treatment it's very expensive, I don't know how long they can keep that up.I am really sad for Ayo and I wish him the best but that doesn't mean I can't have
We kissed for a lengthy period of time before we finally stopped. It was really amazing her lips tasted like the purest of honey, I held her firm in my arms, looking straight to her eyes as if I am seeing through it, this made her uncomfortable, but I kept on staring at her eyes, I could see her blushing all over.“You are damn beautiful and I want you for myself, I want to be the one who comforts you when you are sad, I want to be the one who brings you joy, I want to be the one you think of before you sleep, and the one you dream of when you fast asleep, the first one you think of when you wake up because you are these things and even more to me," I said.“I don't know what to say," Sandra said.“Just say you love me and would be my girlfriend."“Yes, I love you and I am happy to be your girlfriend."She said and we both kissed again and to my surprise it was even better than the first kiss. I was so happy
This Sunday was the worst Sundays of my life, I was just completely useless, I couldn't do anything, I didn't have the courage to dial Sandra's phone in case her father picks the call again, my heart was beating very fast as if had been running a marathon race since I came back from my date with Sandra, even my parents notice that I wasn't my usual self cus I didn't bother watching the Epl matches and in the evening when my and my dad favorite team Barcelona were playing there la liga match I had no interest in watching them all what was on my mind was Sandra and her dad.“Son, come watch the game with me, it's about to start," my dad said.“Sorry dad, but I am not interested in today's game." I declined.“Since when did you start missing Barça matches?" My dad looked surprised.“I am just not feeling fine, dad."“Are you sick?"“No dad," I replied.“Are you sure?"“Y
Chris POVWe were the topic in class today, as I and Sandra held hands, laughed unnecessary to each other's jokes, we were like two puppies fooling around.“Chris the whole class is staring at us," Sandra said in a slightly shy tone.“Yeah I know but I don't care. You are mine now like I am yours, so it's only you I want to make happy." I said and she blushed.“That's so sweet, I would like for us to go out again, I want it to be only the two of us." She said,“Yeah me too, but this time I won't be wearing a jacket!" I joked.We both laughed...Lectures started as I tried my best to concentrate on what the teacher was teaching but from time to time, I and Sandra's eyes met and we both smiled. I had to control myself from kissing her each time she smiled at me, it felt like heaven.3 HOURS LATERWe were deep into Miss Esther's lec
The school was over everybody was eager to go home as they all rushed down stairs at the sound of the bell. I on my part wasn't that eager to go home, I felt like talking to someone about what happened between me and Miss Esther, I couldn't tell anyone in the school especially Sandra it will hurt her for sure and I don't want to put Miss Esther into trouble, I think it's a crime for a teacher to be dating or having any romantic involvement with a student, I can't tell Felicia either at home she may get very excited and tell my parents about it and that's lots of trouble.There is only one person I can talk to and I know he won't tell anyone, even if he wanted to, that's Ayo...“Chris babe, ain't you going home?" Sandra said to me.”No I am not. I want to go visit Ayo at the hospital."“ Okay, do you want me to come with you? I can take permission from my dad." I smiled.“Thanks, but that won't be necessary, my love. I
Tuesday morning 10:00 AM most of the students are in the school compound participating in one sports activity or the other, while some were cheering them on and some others didn't care about the sport at all.Today is going to be the last practicebecause Friday is the main event, soEveryone wants to give their all today to make sure their names are in the final list.House masters were demanding perfection from their students as they bark orders at them, from the sidelines...“ JAMES!!!!!! Pass the ball quick,OLAMIDE!!!!! Run faster CHRIS!!!!! Don't dribble much, fire your shot! " Mr President kept yelling from the touchline.You could tell Mr President wanted to win this competition, at first I didn't know why he was getting all worked up about it until then when I heard that the winning house is collecting1million naira as their prize, I started to share his attitude. This was the first time money was involved i
My phone kept ringing, Sandra must have been worried about me cus I am nowhere in the school compound. If only she could see where I was she would hate me for sure. I thought of ignoring her calls but that would only make things worse...“Who is that?" Miss Esther asked.“It's Sandra," I replied.“Ohhh, she must be worriedabout you, right?"“Yeah she must. I didn't inform her I was leaving school. I am sorry, I have to pick this call."“Sure, of course. Go on," she said.“Thank you."I excused myself from Miss Esther, and walked a few steps away to answer Sandra's call...“Hello Love," I said as I picked the call.“Babe where are you? I have been searching the whole school for you." She said soundingworried.“I..I am so sorry love, I should have told you." I said in a regretful manner.“Told me what? Is everything alright? W
It was as if the world had stopped rotating and time had frozen, as if it took forever before I could turn my neck to check who had Seen me and Sandra, many thoughts came to my mind in a flash but I fear most, that it should not be Mr President Sandra facing the direction of the door had seen the person already and as I looked at her face I saw fear and shock as she stared at the person standing.I finally turned around look and behold I saw EMEKA standing with his phone pointing at us he had taking pictures of I and Sandra kissing, the expression on his face is like that of a hunter who have just caught a large game, my heart beat was raising really fast cus I know what Emeka can do, especially now that he has evidence.“So this is what you guys have been doing in school, you have been banging the teacher's daughter." Emeka said.“Nobody was banging anyone here," Sandra said.“Will you shut up! Ain't you ashamed of yourself?
“I can't stay here, I have to go home. I am low on cash." I informed Miss Esther.“Alright but be careful," she said, her words soft and tender.“Yeah I will plus I don't think anyone is looking for me. Sandra's parents don't know that she is with me," I said, feeling safe and relaxed.“How can you be so sure? What if her friend out of fear told Sandra's parents that she was with you? Have you thought about that?" Miss Esther said and that kinda spiked my anxiety level.I thought about it and Cynthia is capable of doing something like that.That girl isn't someone I would put my trust in. For the fact that she is hitting on me despite claiming to be Sandra's best friend. She can do anything but I gotta go home to get some cash regardless.“Maybe." I said, my voice laced with a bit of doubt and worry.“Just be careful," she said, giving me a hug and was about to give me a kiss when..Sandra started rolling on the couch as she slept like she wanted to wake up and after a few seconds she
.Miss Esther, visibly distressed, continued pacing in her sitting room as I poured out the chaotic events that led us to her doorstep. Her shock was palpable when I revealed that Sandra and I had taken the drastic step of running away.“You did what?” she exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes widening with a mix of concern and incredulity.“We had no other choice. Please let her stay here with you for the meantime,” I implored, desperation clinging to my voice.“This is crazy, Chris. I don't know if I am really able to do this. I mean, I could get arrested and charged for kidnapping,” Miss Esther expressed her genuine worry, and I understood the weight of the situation. My plea had thrown her into a dilemma that could have serious consequences for her.Sandra, silent until now, observed the exchange with a mix of anxiety and regret. The gravity of our actions seemed to settle upon her, and I couldn't help but question if my impulsive decision was indeed the right one. Doubts crept in, but
“What's wrong baby, why are you crying?" I asked as I was very worried.“Please tell me, why are you crying?"Whilst still crying. “Please I need to see you," she pleaded, her tears tearing up my heart.I was so concerned and worried. What could be the matter? I have to go and meet up with Sandra to find out what's wrong. She is all that really matters now. She had told me to meet her at her friend, Cynthia's place and that's exactly where I am going but first. I went back to meet Funke and Emeka. It seems they haven't been talking even though I was outside receiving a call all these while.“Funke I am so sorry I have to go. We will have to do this some other time. I have to leave now." I informed her in a rush as I was in a hurry to leave. “Wait, you can't just leave me here alone. Where are you going?" Funke didn't look pleased at all but what can I do?“I am sorry, something important just came up. I am sorry I have to leave and besides you are not going to be alone, Emeka is goin
Saturday morning had dawned with the promise of a day filled with camaraderie and the thrill of competition. As the sun stretched its golden fingers across the horizon, I found myself on the familiar football field close to my house. The grass, freshly kissed by the morning dew, provided the perfect stage for the beautiful game.Over two years had passed since I last graced this particular field, and the surprise was evident on the faces of those present. I had honed my football skills in the interim, and it showed as I effortlessly moved across the pitch. The rhythm of the game flowed through me, and I became a force to be reckoned with.Players selected themselves, and the teams took shape. Car tires, repurposed as makeshift goalposts, stood proudly at either end of the field. The captains, eager to secure the best players, hesitated when it came to choosing me. I was the last one picked, almost reluctantly, by a captain who had no other option. Little did he know the prowess I woul
It can't be? I had my doubts that maybe it's a different Adebola Daniel. It can't be the same guy that raped Miss Esther back in school can it? Are all these some weird coincidences? It must be, even though I don't know Funke's brother personally, I want to believe he could not do such an evil act.But what if I am not wrong?...“Babe, what's wrong? I am talking to you but you are not replying to me." Sandra tapped me slightly.I have been carried away in my thoughts that I didn't realize that Sandra had been talking to me since.“Sorry babe. I am just lost in my thoughts," I apologized.“What are you thinking about?" She was curious and concerned.I couldn't possibly tell Sandra about Adebola Daniel because she will want to find out how I knew all this stuff and also about Funke and I don't have time to explain all that “It's nothing really...I'm just thinking about the football game I watched on Tuesday night," I lied.“Football game? I'm talking to you but you are thinking about
It pains me deeply to see Funke hurting like that. I never imagined our first meeting for over 3 years would end up like this. I kept having flashbacks of the good old times I shared with her as I took my shower in the bathroom. I was smiling subconsciously as I remember the time that I had to back her to cross the street because everywhere was flooded and she was scared to put her foot into the clusters of water in the streets. She called me her hero that day but now I think I have turned from hero to zero or even a villain.Coming out from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my waist I dried up my skin and put on my clothes and just then my phone rang. Checking the calling I found out it was Emeka and a slight frown formed on my face.What could he possibly want? Well I will find out in school tomorrow because I am not picking his call. I kept busy dressing and other stuff while my phone kept ringing almost non-stop. I eventually left the phone on the bed and walked to the
Funke is in my house, I kept repeating those words to myself. It's been ages since I last set my eyes on her, I wondered how she looks now? Does she still have those beautiful dimples of hers? Of course she must still have them. Dimples just don't disappear. Silly me.I was really excited to see her but I had to remain calm when I met her. I don't want to start acting all silly and excited around her like a clown.Pushing my head backward, I rested it on the car seat and became lost in my own thoughts....__________ When I arrived home I quietly walked to the main entrance door as if I was a criminal planning on robbing the house. Funke was nowhere to be found in the compound which could only mean one thing: she is inside the sitting room already.When I got close to the door I started hearing female laughter coming out of the sitting room. My best guess? It was Felicia and Funke.However there is only one way to be certain for sure so I opened the door as gently as possible and walk
5:00 pm that same day, I was sitting on the couch watching a movie while soaking garri with milk and sugar after I had ate lunch. What can I say? I love soaking garri!I received a call from Sandra, she wanted to know the reason for the dispute between Ayo and I. I guess Ayo didn't say anything to her and she was worried, I told her nothing meaningful either...“Just forget about it, it's boys stuff will we be friends by tomorrow," I said over the phone.“Are you sure? Cause I hate seeing my boys fighting," she said, her voice soft and tender.“Yeah, don't worry yourself. Okay babe?" “Alright, if you say so. So what are you doing now? She asked.“I am soaking Garr. Come and join me," I said and that triggered her laughter.“Local boy. Don't finish it sha I am on my way." She teased me.After 30 minutes of talking nonsense we finally said our goodbyes and I ended the call with a smile on my face. Sandra always knows how to make me smile. I continued soaking my Garri before the doorb
.I matched angrily to the male restroom to cool down. Turning on the sink tap I washed my face with the running water then took my head up, staring into the medium sized mirror that was hung on the wall.My heart was racing really fast as I gaze at my reflection in the mirror. I was extremely angry and even though I was trying my best to calm down, I kept having flashes in my head.“I don't need anyone…" I kept muttering to myself and just then someone walked into the restroom.It was Emeka and two of his friends; Wale and Paul. I didn't want any trouble so I decided to leave but as I walked away..“Why are you in a hurry to leave Chris?" Emeka's voice sounded mockingly from behind me.It was annoying but I ignored him regardless and proceeded to the door...but I was blocked off by Wale and Paul. Is this going to be the continuation of what happened the other day? I wondered. Emeka does not dare assault me in the school premises. Does he? “What do you guys want? Be fast about it be
