I walked straight to my locker where I met with a very energetic Harmony.
"Hey bestie!" He grinned.
"Hy dearie," I greeted and hugged him.
"Guess what! Guess what!" He squealed.
My smile immediately dropped as I knew what he was about to tell me. "Let me guess, Tenda's dating Tony." I sighed.
He stilled, when he noticed the sadness in my eyes. "Babe, what's the problem"
"I--, I stopped short when I noticed Tenda and Tony as they walked towards us with Ifeanyi and Blake in tow.
"You know what? meet me after school at the gate let's go and talk somewhere." I blurted before they reached us.
"Okay bestie, you know I gat you right? He said with a smile.
"I know boo," I replied, followed with a sad smile.
"Now give me a real s

Joanna's POV"What are you thinking about." A voice spoke.I nearly screamed when I saw a cute dude sitting in the chair Harmony occupied a while ago."What_"I mean how?"No need to be scared beautiful, I don't bite, though I would love to bite that pretty neck of yours." His deep voice said, which sent shivers down my spine.Still shocked, I looked at him, like really looked at him and I would be damned if I said I didn't like what I saw because this guy was beautiful and hot in every sense of the word from his standing dreads to his deep dark eyes, pointed nose above light pink lips and a sharp jaw, light fair skin, not to talk of his broad shoulders and a visible six pa__.I was snapped out of my day dreaming when I heard him say something.I blushed.

Self-Love Chapter 17: Christmas Break
Joanna's POVMonday went by with unexpected events and weird feelings. So I was back at the hallway of doom (school hallway) on tuesday where I walked in the direction of my locker and spotted Tenda who already awaited me as she leaned on it with eyes trained on her phone's screen."Hey my bitch." I greeted and gave her a hug."Hey baby, how you? She asked me, followed by a peck on my cheek."Been better." I shrugged, after which she threw an arm over my shoulder which was easy for her, as other girls would have struggled because I'm kind of tall for a girl but luckily for her, she was the same height as me."So, how was your---. I stopped mid sentence as she suddenly abandoned me and took off in the direction of something, or should I say someone, a certain someone named Tony who walked in our direction with the other two dudes in tow."Hey

Joanna's POVMorning came really fast for my liking and before I knew it someone pounded on my door really loudly to which I covered my ear's with a pillow as I silently willed the noise to stop but to my dismay it increased.I got up harshly with a sigh and walked to the door where I pulled it open with a scowl and glared at the culprit."Who dare disturb my morning sleep on a public holiday""Morning? Elvis questioned. "You call this morning?."What time is it." I growled with half closed lids."Its freaking 1pm sis." He sighed."What!" I exclaimed, my eyes fully open as I realized mom was gonna kill me."Yeap, and we are leaving in 10 minutes." He voiced out."Damn you mystery guy," I muttered under my breath."What? He asked."Nothing, shoo." I blur
Self-Love Chapter 19: Score, 1 For Joanna
Joanna's POVAs we strolled around I felt like I was being watched or followed, even when we purchased our ice-creams I could've sworn I saw a shadow swish past me."Elvis? let's go find mom and dad," I blurted as I shivered slightly."Why? He questioned confused. "We haven't even tasted our ice-cream yet""Okay then." I nodded.While I licked my Ice-cream I suddenly heard footsteps followed by a slightly familiar voice."Watsup bro," The voice spoke to which I groaned internally and silently prayed it wasn't who I thought it was."Frank my man how you? Elvis smirked, his eyes on someone behind me.Oh no, please let it be another Frank, please GOD please. I silently prayed."I'm good bro." The voice said, followed by someone who came into view and did that weird handsh

Joanna's POVI woke up to the sound of someone pounding on my door on a cold saturday harmattan morning which by the way was freaking annoying.If you haven't been through this, please forward me your location because I think you might be in heaven as it was a normal occurrence at my house, trust me it happened almost everyday.If it wasn't Elvis, it was mom, if it wasn't mom it was dad other times it was Harmony and yes Harmony came around often."Go away!" I groaned and turned my head to lie on my right side as a method to muffle the pounding sound."Get up bitch, or I'm breaking this door down this minute." A voice yelled at my door."What the hell!" I practically screamed and jumped off my bed, after which I grabbed the hammer kept in my room for those kind of situations."On the count of three. one,
Self-Love Chapter 21: Please Don't Tell Me I'm Falling For Him Already
Joanna's POV"I'm so hungry I could eat the whole food displayed here," I muttered as we stepped into Crunchies after we struggled through the harsh breeze and dust outside."Always food," Tenda said with a role of her eyes.."Hey! You woke me up, robbed me of my breakfast, dragged me here through that harsh breeze and you say I shouldn't think of food? I glared at her. "By the way you're paying""Okay ma, lead the way." She saluted."Oh sorry." I apologized after I bumped into someone."No problem." A cute voice replied.What the--. I thought as I came face to face with a cute girl.She was cute in every way, from her fair skin and black short hair to her pink lips, straight nose and slightly big black doe eyes. She had a dimple which rested on one of her fluffy cheeks. You could call her a walking d
Self-Love Chapter 22: Her Brother
Joanna's POV"Fahvour can you introduce us? We are dying of curiosity here." Tenda practically yelled, tired of all the suspense."Sorry, my bad, I kinda expected you guys to put the pieces together as Joanna seemed to know him." Fahvour chuckled to which I just shrugged in response."Okay, Tenda, Joanna, meet my brother Francis."Thank GOD! I internally sighed and did a happy dance."This fine piece of meat here is your brother? Tenda asked with a shocked look that made me laugh. "Holy fuck!""Hey you have a boyfriend." I chuckled and slapped her lightly on the arm."Well duh!" She shrugged."Hey Tenda, hy Ana." Frank waved at us with a smile."He has a special name for you? Tenda hissed in shock."Uh oh, my ears are gonna bl--- My thoughts were cut short by
Self-Love Chapter 23: The Park
Joanna's POV"Hey," I greeted with a smile as I approached him."Hey beautiful," He replied before opening the passenger door for me."So, what's going on? What's all this about," I asked while I buckled my seatbelt."You'll see." He winked"Okay where are you taking me then." I tried my luck.He rolled his eyes. "Same thing""Please, pretty please." I begged with a pout."Uh." He groaned, "Why do you have to be so cute?I shrugged in response, feeling giddy already as I knew he would tell me if I continued pouting, which I did."We are going to the city park." He sighed in exasperation as he couldn't stand it anymore."Why the sad face," I asked with a chuckle pretending to be oblivious of what I just did.

Self-Love Announcement.
Announcement!!I've received several comments about what transpired in Chapter 2 (Ignoring Hoes)Some are saying I took it too far, others are saying that's unrealistic, while few others said I should delete and rewrite it as it seems harsh.What I have to say is, I'm not deleting or removing that part, becauseFirstly: It's my story.Secondly: I've edited in, and that's as far as I can go with it.Lastly and importantly: It is the only original part of my book. Meaning, it happened to me back in my high school days, sadly, I couldn't stand up for myself, which is why I wrote that and made Joanna speak up and put the teacher in her place.Shit happens in this life, most things you find unbelievable are taking place in areas you don't know about.I'm sorry if it seems disrespectful to anyone, but it's staying that way.If you a
Self-Love Chapter 62: Promise
Joanna's POV"Come over here you two." I smiled and motioned over the two most protective friends I had and still have. They didn't blink or waste a second after I spoke because in a flash I was in the middle of an emotional hug as Harmony kept whispering sweet things in my ear while Tenda sobbed on my shoulder."I love you both so much." I sighed and gave them each a kiss on their foreheads as my heart squeezed in affection.They pulled away a little over a minute later and Tenda wiped away her tears before she tried to give me a stern look as she spoke."Never do that again young lady, or I swear I would journey to the beyond and drag you back here to spank your ass, got that? She glared with fresh tears breaking through once more, to which I nodded and pulled her for a hug of mine."Pave way for the future sister in-law." Fahvour grinned as she walked over to us to
Self-Love Chapter 61: A Week And Three Days
Joanna's POVThey both whipped around, till their eyes landed on me."Where have you been young lady," Mom scolded with a glare I didn't take to heart, due to the happiness I saw dancing in her eyes."A hug would suffice." I chuckled, seeing as I had already expected that reaction from her."GOD I've missed you," She croaked, and immediately pulled me in for a hug."Its okay mum." I laughed into her neck when I felt her squeeze me tight."Hey Dad," I called in a wide smile at him over mom's shoulder, to which he responded with that same look Francis had on his face when my eyes landed on him <disbelief>."It's okay Dad, am real," I voiced out, and I guessed that was all the reassurance he needed because the next thing I knew, I was being hugged by the two most important people in my life."My beautiful da
Self-Love Chapter 60: Everything?
Frank's POVIf I didn't catch sight of her beautiful brown eyes as she blinked, I would have dismissed it, but instead, my heart froze, my breath hitched, I was afraid to move, breathe even,because of the fear that I could wake up and realize it was all a dream or my imagination.It seemed she guessed my turmoil, hence her eyes flew open once more, and this time it stayed that way. I saw her lower them from where they were focused, on the ceiling and then slowly, they found its way to my face."Oh my GOD, oh GOD." I sighed in gratitude and relief as my body relaxed when the realization of her being awake hit me."Oh my GOD, Oh GOD, you are awake,Ana you are awake. Oh GOD I've missed you," I spoke, in a bid to confirm I was in no way dreaming and buried my face into her shoulder as I hugged her, after her eyes remained on me, those beautiful eyes I missed
Self-Love Chapter 59: Do I Know You?
Frank's POVI nodded in response to the doctor's question as my brain shifted back to space mode while I watched him do his normal routine check up."Any news? I asked curiously, my voice emotionless."She's fine." He smiled, "The shock has passed, so she's all good. It's left to her to wake up on her own whenever her brain decides to""How about her memory? Elvis questioned, to which the doctor sighed."I can't say, its a 50/50 issue. Medically there's nothing wrong with her brain but there's a possibility that the brain kind of shut down as a result of too much information and flashbacks," He blurted."But on the bright side, it might just be a way for the brain to absorb the much information it received, resulting in the temporary shut down. So there's a possibility of her still retaining her memory. Like I said it's a 50/50 issue, it'
Self-Love Chapter 58: Shock
Frank's POVI regained consciousness a little over an hour later according to the nurses and was told I had a panic attack.When I asked about Joanna, it was relayed to me that she was admitted in the same hospital but in a different room.I immediately traced my steps to the location after I was told the room number and went straight in search of her, despite the protests of the nurses and other patients in the same ward with me, to have some rest.Now there I was sitting beside her bed as she lay still, the steady rise and fall of her chest plus the lack of wires connected to her, the only assurance she was asleep and not in a coma.I had been sat in that same position for hours. I refused to speak to anyone no matter how hard they tried, the nurses, the doctor,her parents,Elvis, even her friends, I spoke to no one.They tried to find out what happe
Self-Love Chapter 57: Blackout
Joanna's POV. The first day I met him when he came home with Elvis from school.How he fought a boy in my class for calling me a stammerer when Elvis wasn't in there.How he accepted my friends and joined us in our every activities. Even when it was against his class he would be on our side, which would make Elvis happy and angry sometimes.I also recalled he would smile when he saw me and his eyes shine a bright colour. As little as we were then, he always made me feel special.He would always gang up with me during hide and seek games plus other activities against the others and that day wasn't an exception.From what my little brain could take note of, it was a good day, we all ca
Self-Love Chapter 56: I Love You Ana
Joanna's POV"You good Ana? He asked as he glanced briefly at me when he noticed my silence."Yeah," I replied with a shrug. "I'm just lost in thought""Okay then, get your head out of those silly thoughts, let's eat." He smiled.This shocked me as I looked around and realized we were already at the hotel. "Wow! That was fast!" I exclaimed"What are you waiting for, come on." He grinned, to which I shook my head and giggled when he held my hand after I had stepped out of the car."Why are you gigling? He questioned. "What's funny"I scoffed in response, in which he rolled his eyes and left me to go place our order while I looked for a good spot for us to sit as we entered the restaurant area of the hotel.I spotted one, and walked over. I got comfortable in my seat beside the window that overlooked the fun part
Self-Love Chapter 55: Why?
Joanna's POV"Umm, hmm." I cleared my throat not able to co-ordinate words to say."Umm, why are you putting on a suit in this blazing sun? I questioned, finally able to say something tangible.He didn't reply, rather he stood there grinning from ear to ear."What are you doing? I asked, my voice a bit louder and clearer this time."We my lady are going out on a date," He voiced out, and let himself in."Date? Why? I questioned a bit flustered as I tried to hide my blush."Follow me if you want to find out." He smirked, his words having an underlying meaning that I couldn't comprehend."Alright," I blurted out hesistantly. "Can you wait a bit while I put on something reasonable to wear?"You look fine to me." He winked, and I felt the invisible butterflies in my stomach begin their gymnastics.
