Tiana's POV
I was still at the entrance of the lockeroom with the paper in my hand. I couldn't stop staring at it with so much pain. I don't deserve this even if I wasn't his type.
I picked up the remains of my broken self and put on the best of my smile on my face and pretend as if nothing happened. Because if I don't, I'm about to whack garnished beans if I loose concentration on reading.
I dusted my book that dropped on as a result of excess thinking and shrugged off the remaining pain off my body. The piece of paper dropped on the floor. As I bend to pick it up I read it once and broke down again. I used my left palm to clean my face.
"Hey bby doll!" I looked up to see Tinashe Benjamin. The upcoming cheerlady of Stockfield high.
Another name for perfect is Tinashe Benjamin only that she isn't that good at academics, but this girl is fucking hot. Pink small lips,brown eyes, and natural facial beauty.
She have this pear shape that gets my class boys on their knees. No wonder why Blake likes her, and she on the other part likes him as well.
And that's why she and Cynthia fight Kung fu everyday at class and every weekend night at parties."Earth to Tiana, what's wrong with you? why are your eyes red" she asked with concern written all over her face. I know she was wondering who will drag issues with the cold, quite Tiana.
"Nothing, I'm fine Tinashe thanks for the concern" I said sniffing at every word I uttered.
She just shrugged off and said before leaving.
"Anyway Literature test is just thirty minutes away and you know your school mother she can even fail her unborn generation, so cheer up and get ready okayyy"
She's right. I'll have to forget everything for the main time for me to pass the test. The Literature teacher is surely the devil's twin sister.
I busied myself at library few minutes later.*********
After the test...
We just finished the test now and I just keep my possible to keep my eyes off the demon.
On norms, my classmates have started their after test lament again I clearly hear this kind of stuff from the backseat;
"This woman is devilish I am sure she's using fetish means to fail us, imagine!, I've read all the text yet I forgot everything"
That was Clare Odutola,one of Tinashe's geng. She never stops forgetting everything she read in exam hall. The same girl that was playing around is claiming she forgot what she read. That's SS2 in Stockfield high for you.
With Tinashe replying her she said
"Never mind her that was how she failed me after I wrote everything that her criteria required the last test"
I giggled silently on my seat at them. But they must never catch me, else I'd be in another trouble.
Actually the woman was indeed wicked. But not to the extent of failing you when you write the exact thing. I planted a dry smile across my lips but it disappeared when I saw him. Blake.
"Hey sorry for the letter. It wasn't my fault it was Drake that did that"
I bluntly ignored him and made my way to the lunch room. They just rang the bell immediately at that time.
Before I left him he frowned in confusion either about me turning him down after apologizing or turning him down for who the heck is he in the school.
"Hey what the f**k is wrong with you, I apologized after all. If you not satisfied with that then f**k off"
Those words trailed after me.I know he wouldn't accept that he was wrong. So arrogant and full of himself!
*****************
Blake's POVWhat the hell does she think she is not accept my apology?.Uhn?
Flashback
I dragged that hell of a bitch outof where Tiana was."What do you think you're think you're doing"I asked with enormous fury.
"Which kind of question should I consider that as uhn?"she asked looking into my eyes and I never moved it away. Tears welled up to her eyes but it was like I never saw it.
"... That I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with a scarecrow while he supposed to be in Government class"
She's already crying again. So she haven't detected that those tears don't move me at all.
"Say something Blake don't just look at me and keep mute"
She wants me say something and she knows that things I've always say always break her.
"I've told you several times that if you can't condone this anymore you can leave nobody's holding you Cynthia." I finally said something now.
Because she wanted me to. Now she's hurt. She knows the truth but she wants to keep pretending as if everything is fine.
When she couldn't bear it anylonger she stormed out of the varanda crying.
"So... how was it? Success?"
I looked back to find Drake, one of my friends.
"No Cynthia ruined everything" I replied, fixing my eyes on the trashcan in front of me.
"Fuck it"he cursed under his breath.
"Do you really want this gurl?" He asked again.
"Like mad" I replied without meeting his wandering eyes that were all over me.
"Drake please I'm cutting Cynthia off, it's over." I announced to him becauses he was the one that dared into the relationship in the first place at a party on one Saturday night.
"The game instruction implies till you faustrated her to say it's over." He reminded me.
"She's paying you to sustain us right?" there was a tone of rising anger in my voice
"No, I just wanted to respect the rule, that's all." He said raising his arms up to show his innocence.
"Okay. Remind me of that tomorrow morning"
"That's the longest relationship you've been in since I've known you, you spend a whole of six months"he said grinning but frowned like he remembered something.
"Wait are you dropping Cynthia for Tiana? ... I guess you're not!" He said stressing the Tiana with disgust.
"What if I do" I said smirking.
"You do no such thing!" He yelled with concern.
"How I wish you were there when I was setting fireworks on her body unknown to her she was sending it to mine as well"
I couldn't help grinning with every word I was saying while Drake was was looking at me with great hatred and disgust for what I was saying.
This was the first time in a long time I am smiling so genuinely because of a girl. Or...Skip that nigga is not what you . It's possibly because you're craving her body so bad , that's why. A voice said inside of me I guess that was Drake speaking inside of me.
I looked up to find Drake no more around. Maybe he left in annoyance when he noticed that I couldn't stop thinking about the same girl he hated with passion.
Immediately I saw him walking towards me again. This time with a paper. I looked at his hand with curiosity. When he saw what I was looking at he raised his hand to me. I received the paper and I read the greatest shit out.
Hey Tiana, don't feel too special about what happened a while ago. I did that out of SYMPATHY cos I thought you needed something of what I gave you.
Your undeniable crush,Blake"So...." I asked clenching my fist in anger.
"I made two copies, send one to her in your name and kept for you to convince you that she's not the one for you" he said and escaped my blow by running away into the thin air.
That son of a bitch should have waited for me to scatter his nose.But what will Tiana be thinking about me? Will she even wait to hear my explanation? Even if she does can I make her believe me? But...why are am I worried about this? Afterall I gat the charms. Chill boy and get the game back to its initial progressing level.
But the problem is Tiana is not that type of girl..... It was even shocking that she allowed me to do that stuff we did this morning. I smiled to myself at the thought of this morning.
"Would you come and write your test or you prefer staying there"
Mrs.Olayemi, the literature teacher called me from my thoughts as I ran to meet up with the test.*******************
(Back from flashback to reality)Now she've turned me down completely, she wouldn't wait for me to explain things.
I swear Drake is going to regret this."Hey Blake be my partner to the lunch room" Tinashe, my curvy chick whom I refused to consider a crush appeared from nowhere to me. She came closer towards me and as I seized her by her waist and drew her closer to me.
I could feel her body shiver whe my hands seized her waist. Well, that was effect of my touch on every girl. Even Tiana she might be hard to get but her body is subjected to my touch.
I had cut Tinashe off with a flimsy excuse and kept looking around in the lunch room for Tiana.
Then I saw her with Halima. It's like they were arguing about something. I stopped and eavesdrop.
"Why would you tell Blake about my parents divorce stuff"she queried Halima.
"You can't keep it till eternity but note everyone will still know. I only made it faster"she said rolling her eyes.
I could see tears welling up to Tiana's eyes. For the time I felt hurt to see her cry.
"But ... Why couldn't you wait till then"she replied with a shaky voice.
"I'm sorry Tiana, forget about it and continue with your lunch she replied harshly and turned to leave when she saw me and smiled.
"Good afternoon Blake how was your test"
"Fine" I mumbled in reply as I reach out for Tiana who was about to leave. I seized her hand to talk to her.
"Will you follow me gently or draw everybody's attention by dragging you to follow me?"I asked with a devilish smile as she followed me outside the hall.
Tiana's POV
I gently followed him outside after his attention threat. Even without dragging me, hundreds of eyeballs were still following our heels.
When we got outside he face softened a bit and held my two hands tightly.
"Tiana you just have to believe me It wasn't me that wrote the letter, besides you do recognise my handwriting from others"
"Like you can't tell someone to write it for you"I asked still in total disbelief.
"If truly I wrote the letter, and I mean those words I can't be here begging you"
That was true, but Blake is hard to believe, he's a perfect liar .
"If only you could make me believe you" I said quietly.... but before I could finish my statement, this hell of a guy leaned over and kissed me. I really felt good especially with the feeling that I completed the unfinished project that Cynthia disrupted.
But I slapped him and run away to hide till the school closes for the day. I can't afford to have my face destroyed. He don't hit girls but he can start with me.
Tiana's POV2:35pmI just got home now. I couldn't find my mum at home and I sighed. it's something I've got used to.I laid on the bed with my back, trying to figure out what happened today. I laughed at myself hailing myself for what I did to him even though a strong feeling of insecurity have overwhelmed me.Will he hit me back? No, he doesn't hit girls but that doesn't make him a fool. I was still trying to figure out a kind of punishment he would give a girl like me when I thought my phone?Where the hell is my phone?? Or has he taken it as a sign of punishment?? He can't do anything else but not my phone!Just then Patricia came in. I raised my face up and gave a look of what_can_do_for_you??"Benard said you forgot your phone in car, so here you go"she said, handing over the phone to me.My face softened and I smiled"Ohhhh thanks alot I do appreciate extend my gratitude to him"I said as she leaves and I bolted the door behind her.I collapsed on the bed and began to check my
Tiana's POV7:30amI came down from the car with random thoughts flowing on my little head. My heart kept skipping beats like mad. Then I offered a silent prayer.O God, as am about to enter the class may I not encounter evil (Blake).Then I made my way to the class. I was just about to step on varanda when I saw him running towards the direction of Mr. Jaiye's office. Probably for submitted notes. When I saw him, my legs failed me. Like he knew I was beside him, he turned and stopped. I had wanted to run back but I my legs were dead.He shrugged off and continue his race.Hallelujah!!I entered the class, went for my literature textbook. Our literature teacher might want to distribute our scripts back to us. I went back to class immediately. All these while I never saw Blake and I was grateful for.As I was busy thanking God for his grace, Blake entered with the literature teacher.Gbam!!What made me choke was that he was coming towards me where as, our seats were no way together.
Tiana's POVI got home thirty minutes later. The traffic pitied me today. "Mom?" I called settling on the couch. She was so engrossed with the conversation she was having with a guy that only God knows that she might noticed I was around or she intentionally ignored me."Huh!Kini yen?" She asked as if I was disturbing her from doing something relevant."Hey! Let me greet my baby" the empty headed dude said turning to me." My name is Michael Bamidele,but you can call me Mike."Should I now be running away?He gestured an handshake and I just keep staring at the crook. Then my mum shot me a death glare that made me to reluctantly gave in my hand. And removed it immediately."What's your name pretty" he asked with this sheepish grin refusing to leave his face."Tiana" I murmured softly."What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you. Baby you've got a beautiful name for this girl" he said the last statement to my mum.My mum was just beaming with smiles like a person that won a big
7:35am"Are you not to going to school today, Blake, and you're still on your ned!" Blaire yelled nosily, waking me up from my sweet slumber."Wake up!" She was already beside me in my room, shoving the blanket off my body and hitting the pillow on my head."Fuck!" I groaned and rolled from her."Fuck?!" She laughed hysterically. "Wake up and dress up for school, thank goodness we are not going to same school, this is not a matter of wait for me" she laughed againWe were not attending same school; I liked it like that. At least; she's free from wicked claws of boys that lost their girlfriends through me and would be willing to take revenge from any kind of sister; even if it's a day old baby. Mad boys."Better be going,am not leaving this room till noon" I replied trying to cover myself with my hands. The harsh breeze blew on my body and made me felt like screaming."Mummy, Blake doesn't want to go to school"she screamed over to our mum and I felt like covering her mouth. It was more
Blake's POV3:05pm"Looks like someone's getting better" Nicholas noted, grinning before I pulled him in for a sideway bro hug. My other hand was glued to the drip injection.Drake, Justin and others got the same. Some of girls were there as well; Tinashe, Clare, Halima, Oyindamola and Damilola.If only one was among; I won't even be bothered if others never came.We'll she's not here, and I must appreciate those who came. I gave Tinashe a kiss on her cheek; everybody was shocked, that's unexpected. Even herself could not hide the surprise look on her face. In fact, I was surprised at myself.Anything to get her out of my brain.Other girls got a wave. (I cannot come and kill myself).Tinashe sat beside me on the bed holding my hand. Weird and unexpected abi? I pushed her away and disgraced her yesterday yet she's here to check on me. I never did that to her (Tiana) and she's behaving like deputy Jesus.Everyone sighed coincidentally at once; it won't last (Tinashe's sudden treatment).
Tiana's POV After the long wait, Monday is finally here.Las Las I could not wait for Monday to come. Saturday and Sunday was boring, only for Sunday's teen class at church that was not.I was currently inside the car, heading to school with anger of seeing her again. Any fucking mistake I'll fight anybody or anything that comes my way. I swore silently.And the girl should be the one that will beat you insteadMy subconscious mocked my bragging self.My weak self heard his voice on the phone again and melted. He's so irresistible. I like admitting myself, it makes for quick solution to any problem.Tis my life, my world and I rule it. So.. I can resist him."Tianaaaa! What are you thinking about!!?" Benard woke me from my dre
Tiana's POVHey! Tiana why are you staring at me?... listen, okay, what's the relationship between alternate angles" he asked.Chimo!! What should I say??I gave him a lost stare. I didn't even know where to start. " Uhmm... they're...." I tried to say when a voice cut me."Good morning students"It was no other person than Mr Agunbiade oladapo F. Our amiable school principal.He's strict, friendly and professional. He can be the juice in the flower and can also be a pain in the ass. Sometimes I'll soooo like him, sometimes I'll feel like strangling him to death with my bare hands.There's a young teenage girl of my age standing beside him. The girl seems to be struggling to breathe in confidence. There's no one that won't be intimidated standing in front of Stockfield SS2 B."The school
Tiana's POV.7:09amI exchanged numbers and home address with Shile yesterday before closing for the day.My phone buzzed and I saw a text message from her.I'm on my way to your house. I came down out of the taxi.Wow. So I'm going to get a friend that'll be taking me from home to school. Great!!.I was already dressed, eaten and about to get in car. Early right? Yep, I'm tired of running from the car to the class because the first period is ongoing.Benard pulled up and we met Shile at the estate gate. I had told Benard that I would like to pick a friend so when he saw the mutual uniform, he stopped and I opened the door for her."Good morning!" She greeted, settling in the car."Good morning" I replied, checking her out. Is it my eyes or she's looking more beautiful than yester
