Dan asked, leaning back on his chair after picking up his malted milkshake from the table and sipping from it."Well I major in football, just for the fun though." Jade replied and I smiled as I watched them went on an on, discussing sports.Oh yes. It's around twelve noon and since I was lecture free for the period, I had them come over to the cafeteria to meet me and then, I introduced them properly to each other. I'm glad they are getting along easily.I turned my attention to my laptop while taking a sip from my milkshake. I smiled satisfactorily when I opened my student portal and saw my test results, as usual I did excellent, still topping my department alongside few others with my 5.0 CGPA.I smiled and picked up my sandwich and just as I shoved it into my mouth, a student ran in the cafeteria, clearly excited and began saying
KIM LISA'S POVWe stared at Mrs Hanna, trying to comprehend what she just said. She suddenly smiled and I looked at the girls in confusion, they both had same confused expression as me."Hanna can you please enlighten us on what you just said?" Saline asked as she leaned forward beside me."Black Diva's done a lot for me and my family. If this is the little I can do to help her and you kind girls, I'd do that. I'll tell you the little I know and with that, you should probably be able to connect the dots." She said and we smiled."A week before my sister died last December, she had called me privately and made me sit by her bedside in her hospital room and had told me the things I'll be sharing with you now." She said and we listened with rapt attention and extreme curiosity."Ten years ago my sister got pregnant for a black American man who was her boyfriend whom she thought loved her and would get married to her when he hears the good news. But sadly, he was a pretender and had a fa
JAY'S POV I walked down the hallway, heading for the stage with my director, manager, bodyguards and several other assistants. The long awaited day is finally here and I'm dressed in a gold mirror sequin Jacket coat with matching pants and sneakers. My wrists and fingers were adorn in silver bracelets and rings, my right ear bore a diamond earring. Part of my hair was jelled backwards, leaving few strands to cover a part of my face. Long story short, I look fabulous. I could hear the thousands of fans screaming my name even from a reasonable distance. We were about reaching the backstage when I came face to face with none other than Suzy... What is she doing here?!A single glance at her, I already took in her appearance. She was dressed in a black lace up dress with gladiator heels.I was about walking past her when she called me."Olenmanieyo oppa (it's been a while oppa)." She said smirkingly, while titling her head seductively. I rolled my eyes away."Sujiga mwoya?(What
CILIA'S POV I had walked down the hallway from the backstage, looking for Jay when I came upon Ferdinand and his escorts. Ferdinand told me he was talking with a girl and directed me on where I'll see them. After walking down briefly, I came upon him having a heated conversation with Suzy. Yeah, he had shown me her picture. The good thing was that I'm thankful to Kim because my Korean is now very much better. I could understand almost all words in Korean now and speak fluently a little. I'm not yet perfect in it.I was so happy when I heard Jay defending me and still professing his love for me even when I wasn't there. It made me realize that I'd never have any reason to regret my decision with him. What got me angry was when I discovered she was trying to blackmail Jay, but then she's so clueless because she thinks he's dumb.So here am I right now, smirking at her as she tried to wiggle free from my tight grip. She thinks she can just throw her palm easily over my face..."naega ne
DANIELLE'S POVI walked out of the kitchen into the living room and smiled on seeing Candace and Alexis playing with Candace's cute white toy poodle. Yesterday evening was so lit at Jay's music concert, seeing three best friends support each other on stage made me realize how perfect their friendship is.Roe, Emerald and Arianna would be traveling to England tomorrow but they'd return after they've accomplished their mission, aside Arianna of course...Candy would be leaving for New York today in a matter of minutes to be precise and clearly Alexis is gonna miss her a lot, most especially because she gets attached to people easily. I noticed that.Alexis had a faraway look in her eyes although she smiled as she ran her hands through the dog's fur. Kim was upstairs in her room, Tania was out with Carl and Lia was dressing up to accompany Candy to the jetport...I dropped the sprite can on a glass table and leaned by the wall as I watched them play with the poodle. Candy was feeding he
