2020-12-24 06:19:34Janet was speechless, her mouth hung low; did she just get swatted across the face like a fly? She didn't even know what to say or do, she just stared at Adebola. The girl who was still frowning at her, but she could see the mocking tilt of her lips.
She slapped me. Janet said in her mind, almost not believing it. Then it clicked to her, that good for nothing boy crazy girl had just slapped her!
Janet didn't even know that she could attack the way she did, she didn't care if this would ruin her head girl status, she saw red. Even her mother didn't slap her on the face! With a jump, she had the shocked girl on the tiles, pinning her down with both hands, her shoulders still having a slight pain from before.
"You threw me to the ground that day, I left you. Then you call me here to slap me...me! You dey mad?" Janet emphasized, watching as the skinny girl pathetically squealed, throwing her hands in the air, she managed the get a grip on Janet's plaited fring

"Don't you think you're overreacting? I mean he actually came to ask and you just brushed him off."This came from Juliet, they were both on her bed with Janet in the corner of her room, she had her head down on her knees. She felt really bad, especially when she was leaving and bumped into him. He was talking with Dotun, which just made her shoulders tense up.When he'd seen her, he just lazily waved and walked away, what bothered her was that Dotun laughed in her face as she skipped and practically jumped on Derek. It felt like she was mocking her, of course she was, she had ruined it...again."You know, I think she was lying. Call him and ask.""Call him? Are you crazy?" Janet laughed out, getting to her feet as she plumped against her bed. Letting out a loud groan, how could she even muster up the guts to call him after ignoring him."Or I will." Juliet warned, but Janet didn't take her seriously, she just scoffed. "Go ahead." She

"Come." Derek tapped the space beside him, with a quick nod, she pressed her butt against the hot wood; almost hissing at the feeling."It's hot." She said, making him chuckle, when her body got used to the heat, she face him with a smile. "Do you live here?" She asked, wanting to know more about him. Derek just shook his head, turning so his legs were on each side of the bench and he could face her properly."I asked first. This doesn't look like a place you'd come to."He explained, his eyes trained on her. Janet noticed that he had this look on his face, and his lips slightly parted, his eyes wandering. Like he was trying not to look somewhere.She copied his movement, slowly putting her second leg over the bench, wanting to appear seductive. "I was just hanging out with Shalom. My house is not too far from here sha." She shrugged, purposely giving him more information than needed."So I can just come by abi?" He joked as she giggled at him,
Last Updated : 2021-03-07School Days √16: Interhouse sport practices.
A few days had gone by after Derek and Janet's little hangout, she still cheesed at how he reacted to her flirty attempts which were definitely not in vain. After they had gone back to Shalom and Sammy, Janet had to run back home because it was already getting late and her mom kept calling her.A whole week had gone by after that, Derek and Janet had chances to talk but guess who came in to ruin it...You guessed it, Dotun.But it want only Dotun, Jagun came to join the bandwagon.Fate might have had it in for her, even though she was now friends with Derek— or acquaintances? Janet still hadn't stopped her often gazes at him during class, in fact; it had increased.Not that she was a stalker or whatever. He was just interesting to observe.Some people had decided to grow a pair and actually talk with him, people like Subomi.Before she knew it, her dreaded week came; no not her period, rather it was the week of inter house sport practic

Shoot!Janet's mind instantly restarted as she quickly bent down to pick her baton, all the others had began to speed to the finish line. With a loud groan, she boosted. Wrapping her hand around the baton as she ran pass Gary, then Demilade, catching up to Jagun.Whatever he had said, she needed to get it out of her mind. What the heck did he mean by saying that he wanted her for himself? Was that why he'd been acting angry around her? All because he liked her?She wasn't going to believe that.In annoyance, she increase her speed, her eyes steadying towards the finish line, she was fast, but Jagun was ahead of her. He had probably said that to get a reaction out of her and the worst part was that it worked!She felt her blood boil at this, picking up her pace, she began to run, run like her entire life depended on it, she felt her toes touch her butt. That's how long her legs were flying.Rip.Her body tore against the light fabri

Yinka pursed her lips; looking down at her script, her eyes digging through the paper in shame. The teacher gave her a look of disappointment before walking to the next seat. Her hands shook as she let out a shaky breath. Of course she was going to fail! She didn't bother reading for the test because she was rather preoccupied. You guessed it, with the thoughts of Janet and Derek, specifically how to tear them apart.When she went over to Janet, after the inter house sport practice; Janet had purposely ignored her, giggling at whatever stupid thing that tall arrogant idiot filled her ears with. Derek this, Derek that. She was absolutely fed up with it! So, when Janet did that; Yinka stormed off; intentionally hitting her shoulders against Derek; but it sure did hurt as hell. His shoulders were so hard!"Stupid annoying egoistical brat." Yinka remembered spitting his way after she had passed; holding unto her stinging shoulders. When she looked behind her, she noticed that

Janet adjusted in her seat, sighing for the tenth time since the class had started. She felt uneasy, well; this was because Derek had been absent for about three days and counting.She hadn't seen him and was very worried.What made her that way was the fact that his 'crew' actually showed up at school but he didn't. This was very unlike them, in fact; during one of her nosy adventures, she heard Obinna complaining about how Derek hadn't been picking up his phone.Janet picked up her bag before digging her hands into it, bringing out her phone, which she had snuck to school. Unlocking it quietly, she tapped her fingers against the screen; sighing again as she saw that he left her on read.She sent him a message when he didn't come to school the first time, a little hey, but she had been on read ever since. "I swear, if you sigh again I'll bite your ear." Ada spat at her as she twirled her pen; her legs resting on the chair of the person in front of her. Jan

It couldn't be jealousy.Jagun sneered at the thought, why on earth would he care if Janet was obsessed with his best friend? Besides, she wasn't his type, even if he sometimes admired her beauty, or even her figure that showed through her uniform...maybe he also stared sometimes in awe at how smart she was. Just harmless observations.Janet knew she couldn't clean up his bruises in his parlor, they needed to go to a more hygienic place. Like the toilet...just to clean the bruises! She wasn't using that as an excuse to be alone with him— or perhaps she was."Guys, we'll be back." Janet spoke up, trying to hide the grin on her face. Ada looked up at her with an arched brow before she then snorted. "Babe, where are you going?" Ada asked while scrunching her nose, looking up at Derek in suspicion. She didn't trust him, even if Janet thought he wasn't a bad guy; Ada wasn't yet convinced."I want to clean the wounds, it can get infected." Janet

I almost kissed her.Derek wondered in his mind as the realization began to kick in, he had almost kissed Janet. They were so close, their lips almost touching, if anyone of them had just leaned in, he couldn't guarantee that it'd have be just a peck.He had thought that when he leaned in, she'd have slapped him and stormed off; but she just stared at him with those brown eyes of hers, parting her lips which looked rather inviting at that moment. Thank goodness Jagun had interrupted them, like he had said before, he didn't know what he'd do if they kissed.Janet and the others had left him to his thoughts about an hour ago, he still recalled what Janet did before leaving his home. When she and his friends were walking out the gate, she turned towards him with that innocent look on her face. He watched how she smiled so much that her apples on her cheeks beamed. When he was still focused on her smile, she got on her tip toes and

Hey! Thanks for coming this far! Don't forget to like!!!"My brilliant girl!" Janet's dad cheesed, using his hands to pat on her shoulders. She just giggled at this, blushing at her parents praise.

Yinka watched in horror.She watched as Janet scrambled out of the corner, giggling profusely with Derek walking right beside her. Freaking Derek. She heard the rumors about the head girl finally having a boyfriend after so long but she didn't expect it to be him. Him! Yinka clenched her fist at the sight, the way that nonsense boy's lips curled up as he looked down at Janet. Ew. Yinka gagged. So Janet was into hooligans now?Yinka couldn't look away from both of them, she couldn't bring herself to call them a couple. She noticed that Janet shyly pulled down her skirt, nudging Derek on his arms as he teased her or something. Hold up, pulled down her skirt?Yinka scoffed. What had happened to the Janet she once knew? She didn't want her to become like Ada, opening her legs to any boy that showed her the tiniest of affection. No! Janet wasn't like that! Janet was her role model, not...not some Derek loving...heck she couldn't even come up with an

Bagam bagam bagam.Janet's heart thudded so hard she thought she was having a heart attack, her mouth went dry and her nerves sky rocketed. Janet stared longingly at the man who just had a disappointed scorn on his face, he arched his brow expectantly, awaiting her response. She looked down, clearing her throat. What could she possibly say that would make sense?I don't know how it got there? Sir I just saw it under my locker because it grew some wings and implicated me? Whatever excuse she thought of just made her sound dumber, Janet knew someone set her up; but right now, the way the color drained from her face made her seem like the culprit.Oh God deliver me.She prayed to herself as she hesitatingly stood on her feet. The teacher grimaced at her sluggish actions."I said bring out everything in your locker or I will do it for you."The man said again, word by word. The venom laced his voice. By now, the class had gone pin dro
School Days √31: Framed.
The day had finally come - or rather the dreaded week. Midterm examinations. The week students actually picked up their books, cramming their life's out. Janet would have been frantically cramming as well, even though she had read. But right now, she was still on cloud nine.Derek kept his promise, he texted her when he could, which was after she had gone home. She didn't want to tell him about her encounter with Pedro, she wasn't even sure if it was the same Pedro or just a creep trying to get her number. They spoke through out the day. Heck she didn't even remember what they spoke about, she just recalled giggling and chatting with him over the phone until her parents called her down for some family time. She still found a way to sneak in a text or two.She was obsessed with what they had going on."Omo this one that people want to put their head into the book gon sef. I've tire." Shalom exclaimed in annoyance, crossing her hands as she yawned. Ada hummed in r

Derek looked almost lifeless on the ground, his shirt now soaked; Janet could see the red liquid begin to drip down to Daniel's tiles. Her eyes widened at the sight, she felt goosebumps on her skin, her stomach crunched at the way his blood leaked out of him. Obinna and Ope hastily got up from the floor, pushing Janet away as they rushed towards him."Guy! What the hell?!" Obinna shrieked, immediately lifting his shirt up. When he did, the once quiet room became noisy. The sight was eye opening.It was a horizontal stab wound, all bloody and poorly stitched up to the point that the stitches were beginning to rip. The only thing that could make such an injury was a knife, she didn't even want to know how deep it was."Oh my..." Janet whispered as the tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands began to shake at how much blood he was loosing, her mouth quivering as she said prayed for him.Prayed that it looked much worse than it was."What the heck did you d
School Days √29: Will you be my boyfriend?
"Exactly! It was just so creepy and when he came back he seemed pissed off."Janet continued over the phone, kicking the pair of sock off her feet as she laid on her bed, explaining what had happened at the beach with Derek. She still wondered who that guy was and why Derek told her to go; kind of like he didn't want that guy to see her."Maybe he was jealous?" Ada asked confused, shuffles sounding from her side of the line. "Nah, I don't think so." Janet mumbled with a faint blush on her cheeks. He couldn't possibly be jealous...could he? "Sure..." Ada drew out with a chuckle. "So, did anything happen between you and Ope...again?" Janet hummed playfully, squinting her eyes and listening intently."In his dreams, he was acting so possessive, I mean that guy is so confusing! One minute he's cold and saying that I love the guys attention and the next he's being so cute!" Ada ranted through the phone, taking a deep frustrated huff when she was done. "He even

What Kareem had said to Janet didn't leave her mind, she still got chills just from thinking about it. As much as she tried to decipher the words, she knew that she wouldn't be able to. Who were the so called dangerous guys keeping an eye on him? Was Derek in trouble and he didn't even know it? She grew more worried as she dug deeper into her mind.The hours they spent at the museum was a drag, Mr Wesley urged them to write on the artifacts that they clearly didn't give two about. Janet glanced at Kareem a few times, trying to tell if he was playing a prank on her or just being salty. But when Kareem looked her way, he still had that warning look on his face."This one you've been thinking hard, I hope all is well." Ada asked in a worried expression, nudging Janet when she didn't respond. "Oh, nothing oh. It's just one nonsense Kareem said." Janet shrugged off with a nervous laughter. She could only hope that it was nonsense."Kareem ke? What did he say?" Janet didn't
School Days √27: Excursion ft Beach party (Part 1).
"Janet, I hope you're still on track with your school works?"The principal asked with a soft yet stern tone, folding her arms as she leaned in from her leather chair. Janet inwardly groaned at the question, feeling awkward as she stood in her office along with Ada, Tiwa and Ebere.Ebere was the assistant head boy, who also happened to be one of the guys Janet dated when she was in junior school. He was tall, broad shoulders, well defined jaw, grey eyes. Ebere was an albino. He gave her a look when the principal said that, pity clouding his vibrant iris; even if Ebere was dating a girl called Susan in SS3C, he still cared about Janet deeply. More like a brother and sister bond."Yes ma." Her cracked voice echoed through the cold office, she almost cringed at how high pitches it sounded. They were all lined up in front of her office, which meant that she had something to tell them."Good." Janet didn't like the awkwardness of hearing her own voice in the sil
School Days √26: Ada and Ope.
Janet leaned into his arms, laying her head on his shoulders as she inhaled his scent. She loved how he scooped her up, not to mention the fact that she was still straddled on his lap like a baby. Janet found herself snuggling deeper into him, her heart going at a thousand miles per hour.It felt so surreal - losing Juliet. It hurt Janet so much, her heart clenched at just the thought of going home to no Juliet, at the thought of having no one to talk to her when her mother was busy. Janet was an only child, but she never felt that way with Juliet, now she really did. The burial was quick, Juliet's mother came in from the village, looking even more horrible than Janet did. She cried her eyes out. For the first time, Janet saw Juliet's boyfriend...or sugar daddy. She didn't know how he heard about the news, but he did. He sat at the back of the hall the entire time, in all black.She remembered him because Juliet had shown her a picture once or twice. Juliet. Janet fe
