Third person narrative technique
Tiana checked herself again in the mirror and smiled satisfactory at her look. The only thing missing was her nails, she'd have to ditch it, that would save her from the stress of removing it.
Her mood sprang back alive when she got home a day before and the DPO announced that Mike have been caught in a mallam outfit, trying to poison the detective but she caught him.
Her admiration for the female detective deepened more. She had always put her trust in her that she'd find Mike no matter how cunning he might be.
"Your lipstick is not that good" Blaire called her back from her thoughts with a disapproval frown.
"Let me get you mine" she rushed back and appeared in no time with a pink lipstick.
Tiana quickly mopped her lips with a nearby tissue and thrust her lips to Blaire and she applied the lipstick on it gently.
Tiana's POVI dashed out of the bathroom at once. Blake had moved faster than I can imagine. I couldn't find him again.I stared confusingly at the crowd, I still couldn't find him. I felt a pat on my shoulder and I turned back scarily with fear."What's wrong? Why are you like this" Blaire frowned in question at me."Uhm.. I.. I- I'm just wondering where Blake could be" I shuttered. I had tried to sound serious but I failed."He's in his room actually. Look here, when you lie, you sound so fake. Tell me, what's wrong? Why are you shaking?" She held my hands but I jerked from her grip and dashed to the room.I ran towards the room with great speed but slowed down when I was about to get to the door."Blake I'm here for you. I love you,but you don't know who loves and trip and fall for the wrong person" the voice sounded so familiar that I s

English subject is for everybody, every career class; art, science and commercial class.Being that all of us offer it, all of the SS3 students stormed the library like bees at a rotten mango. I found a A-Z guide to English studies and shoved it out of the shelf. My heart was skipping beats and racing fast. I don't want see Blake but my eyes keeps crashing at him.I looked back at him again and our eyes hit each other. I quickly dashed my face from him and continued my search. A lot of us had like eight textbooks with us and we were still looking for more. And we have like two hours left for the exams.
Tiana's POVThree weeks later..."Tiana!"My name would never leave your lip if you know me. People call my name as if it has vanilla flavour whenever they're calling it."What!" I groaned and turned back reluctantly. Alas! It was Blaire. She ran tiredly towards me and I smiled at her race.I was at the joint admission matriculation board (JAMB)'s office. A lot of candidates had issues checking their exam results including me. If you have such problems, you'd have to contact the nearest Jamb office around you."Mama" I laughed, calling her the pet name I gave her.She finally got me and rested her on her knees by supporting her hands on it."What's it?" I frowned at her sudden outburst."It's a long talk" she said, still panting.
Last days at Stockfield high. Tiana's POVBlake had been avoiding me since he caught Tinashe and her team's plan. Probably he thought I was still bitter at him. At when? We'll be writing our last paper later in the evening today.After exam, our valedictory service, that's for who'd stay. I heard Blake and his family would be relocating back to the states. I applied admission for law in University of Ibadan and University of Lagos.That means I'm schooling in Nigeria. Even if Blake and I had never broken up, we'd forced to at that time.So.. High school love is a waste of time. I closed my book and stretched my body, yawning so loud and high. I slumped on the bed again rolling to and fro on it.I decided that I must pay Blake a visit that day to show I'm not holding a grudges with him ag
Tiana's POVBlake waited downstairs for me while I quickly dressed up. I rechecked myself at the mirror before getting ready to go."I'm coming!" I screamed my lungs to assure him I'll be right beside him."Take your time"He must be comfortable, pressing his phone. Else, he'd have been groaning that I'm wasting his time.After our last paper yesterday, he came to me and apologized for his actions. He told me he could now understand what I was trying to tell him all these while. We'd be friends till he leaves maybe in two to three days time.When I thought I was done, I did discovered that my pen was not with me.

I was even under depression after the seeing Mike's mother's depression.My phone's battery have been flat since yesterday. I know Blake would have been trying to reach me since. I just charged it this morning when my aunt turn on the generator. My uncle Mofe had promised me all my devices to be apple products all through once I gain admission to the university.I discharged my phone once it had reached hundred percent. I slipped out of my bed and paced the room, thinking whether maybe I should go to his house or not.He'd be leaving soon. In few days in fact. I should spend the best out of the days he'd be available. I took a trouser I left on the bed earlier on and shoved my legs inside. I already had a blue plain top on.I recalled our valedictory service as I was dressing. It was full of fun and tears. The fun we had from taking pictur
Tiana's POV"I'll" My blur eyesight that was blocked with tears in conjunction with my mind paved through my whole life till that very moment.

My parents had made preparations for it so hard. I was going to be twelve then"I swallowed and continued."My little friends, I mean classmates because I never had a friend until my parents divorced. Some of my classmates, were invited. The guests were mainly of adults. So the party started on a happy note. I never knew anything. It got to a time I saw my mum with red eyes""Crying?"

Temi shouted immediately the makeup artist was done with my makeup.Temi, Blaire, Sade, Moyin and other girls were my friends who dressed and kept me (according to the custom of Yoruba land). They'd dress me and keep me from the groom till he finally performs all the rites before the ladies would bring me out.It dawned on me that life would change us completely as time goes, but it'd never have the power to influence what fate and love had planned.We always joked when we were still in Stockfield that we'd be the bride's/groom's friend of ourselves on each other's wedding day. But today, the people standing as the bride's friends were not my
