It was outrageously dumb.

Posing as popstars to sneak away from school was a dumb idea, and they knew that it was. But they weren't going to risk another method like feigning illness.

Besides, why ask more for what you really don't desire. Especially since she knew about his terminal illness, It'd seem heartless and absolutely mean to use it to her advantage.

And she couldn't help imagine her subconscious applauding her for being considerate for the first time in so many a year.

Jumping out of the school fence was absolutely stupid and cowardly and she knew she was never known to be such a puss. Besides, alot of things could go wrong with jumping the fence like; them having to sprain an ankle or in worst cases, getting a concussion. classic popstars should look classic.

And then, there comes the option of obtaining a permit card which was also totally unreasonable because there weren't any substantial ground and reasons why the school au

Horrible. Like death.And he didn't feel scared.Nurses on scrubs and doctors with their coats and sethestcope hanging on their neck filled the hallway, walking frantically about. There was the emergency whirling sound causing everyone else to instinctively clear the way for a stretcher carrying an almost dying woman into an emergency ward.The hospital was vast. And the oncologist department was like a vast world of its own with different wards having different individuals. Some had a bunch of kids smiling at a board and a lady who had a book that looked like a children story sat in their midst also talking and smiling while, another ward had grown-ups all circled around, sitting and talking and laughing at intervals. The support group for cancerous patients. He was never interes

    If you see the girl I used to becould you tell her that I'd like to find her••••Awe struck. That was the most suitable word to describe her ogling at him while he changed from his uniforms to a vintage tee which she brought from God knows where. She insisted he wore it together with a fancy goldchain and eyeglasses which totally made him look like a ridiculous pop star artist—a fashion he'd worry about later.Right now, his worry was that she was gawking at him like that. Like an open piece of delicious looking meatballs. It made him feel awkward."Oh my fuckin' elves!" She finally exclaimed, raking her eyes around his bare torso."Look at those abs! And six packs! And those muscles! How can all those abs fit into that slender frame of yours?! " she was exclaiming dramatically now making him roll his eyes trying to bite back a grin.Elves? Couldn't there be any less monstrous creatures she could use? "You should tone down abit though. We're in the middle of a serious crime alert.

    ★Love brings you flowers and builds you coffins, and far too often, we end up falling to our demise.★★Sarah had fallen asleep.She had woken up for sometime with a start, lips trembling, cheerless puffy eyes darting across the ward in fear-in search of Toby, she heaved a deep sigh when she saw him propped up on this bed, gazing at her, mumbled incoherently about not wanting to ever lose him, cried for awhile and then fell asleep again.It was miserable. So disconsolated and sad.She was the first friend he ever had when he came down to Nigeria. Lively aura, big brown bright eyes and lively chirpy tone—she never stopped talking with those mellifluous voice of hers and teasing him continuously when she wished.Right now, he wished she'll just do something like tease him like she always did or talk his ears off. Just anything except her profusely sobbing. She looked so sullen and bleak. It made him ache. It made his heart bleed with sadness. "How did you two become friends?" Yara

    ♠I'm going down And you have watched me drown♠★"April, I am tired of this disrespectful and stupid, stubborn attitude of yours. So, you'll go back there, apologize to your director and do everything as perfect as it can ever be. Do you hear me?!" April winced, sticking her index into her ears in irritation. Her mum's voice was distressing to listen to coupled with how she had been hounding her for the past few minutes. She had obviously seen her terrible acting and the movie director admonishing her with a frown. "Fine alright! I've heard you and I'll try." she caved in a bit taken aback at herself for not throwing mean words at her mum. Her mum scoffed, " I don't want you trying. Just do what you're perfect in doing." She rolled her eyes back in resentment but it wasn't over yet. Mrs Waje still had the grand announcement to make and that surely would have been her sole reason for walking up to April and chiding her in her usual ear piercing strident tone. "You also have an

His mum smiled warmly at her, pulling her into a gentle squeeze. Her hug felt warm, soft. Like the kind of hug Toby had always extended to her. It felt like home. She let her hands hang limply on the side. At first, in surprise like the look etched on Toby's face which eventually morphed into a smile when she slowly allowed her hands to circle around his mum's torso. "Thank you so much, Yara. You've been alot of help." his mum had started to say, pulling gently away from her.Yara smiled in return, "thank you, mrs Thompson. I got to spend time with Toby." she glanced at Toby who was leaning on the black SUV, he was scrolling through his phone this time."Oh about that, don't mention. Do you mind if I drop you home..."

    ♠If you make it to the water, He'll part the clouds.♠It was Monday.Bluebell's student week was starting today and Toby was sure not to attend. Not because he didn't want to, but because he had to go see his Grand dad today since his weekend relapse. Yara had stayed throughout the weekend. She had only put a call to Benny, telling her that she was going to stay for the weekend at his house. At first his mum had really worried about Yara's parents not comfortable with the ideas, but they never called back to ask or inquire about their daughter so she stopped worrying and became more relaxed with having Yara around.She couldn't cook neither Toby could but that was because he kinda still felt a bit weak, standing on his ten toes. Though, whenever he got the strength and they both tried to cook, they ended up burning the kitchen-figuratively. And afterwards, they ordered food. He packed a little of his clothes, his camera and a picture Yara had given him. She had given it to him as

Everyone was excitedly talking about the graduation the same way they talked about her housewarming party. She could still feel her head pound from the too many alcohol, loud music and dancing. Almost everyone at school knew about their prom-at- home party because April had gone live on social media, showing off her designer's outfit which was a limited edition, Sarah who wore a chef look with a makeover that made her so gorgeous. She even captioned under her picture; 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑒𝑥𝑦 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼'𝑚 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑓 𝑠𝑜 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑖𝑡.

It was a large two bedroom apartment that had a spacious sitting room with a dining table, a kitchen and three toilets. At one side of her sitting room which was fully furnished was a scented candle lit up around on a fancy table surrounded by fresh flowers and Toby and Josie's framed pictures.It had becoming her usual routine to say a word of prayer for him, lit the candles and keep it covered in a glass jar while replacing the flowers too. A routine she had just finished along with the girls who had helped doing the house design.“Yara, you really sure you can keep up with this?" April asked in concern.“Yeah, I thought you'd mo

It was Benny. She wasn't dressed in the usual uniform she wore and stood religiously at the door, she infact looked different in the floral dress and Crocs with her hair falling across her shoulders. And it struck Yara how alike they looked with both of their hairs falling across their shoulders. She said

"Good question.” she leaned in further, "it's like doing away with those issues that weigh you down and taking on the good side of why you're alive despite everyone.""But there is no good side of life when you lose your sister and years later your boyfriend or when you get molested and thrown into a juvenile because no one believes your story rather think you're a demon of some kind and there's absolutely no good side of life when your parents treat you like shit and lie to your face everytime." she scoffed, "so tell me, what's the good there?" Reya nodded affirmatively, "i understand, Yara. I do because you have every right to feel this kind of way and I don't want to be that person who would just like to tell you to move on. I can assure you, it's not so easy as anyone would tell you." she paused, taking in a deep breat

Her countenance was impassive and blank as though she hadn't just finished listening to Yara's story and asking that question. “It's soothing. Doesn't solve anything but it's better than turning to drugs and alcohol for help.” The woman smiled, “Have you tried to reach out to them again?” “No. I don't know if they ever want me. Sometimes I think I'm some kind of bad charm, I attract only the bad things to people around me and myself. ” Reya said nothing, urging her to go on. “Josie thought I was a small butterfly when I was little.

Yara said nothing except to sit still and stare blankly into space. She was aware of her environment, she was aware of the woman who had calmly been entertaining her silence for almost a month, she was aware of the reason she had come to her in the first place.
