Dowen High" she said again "four years ago a beautiful relationship was formed there,or should I say a bitter sweet relationship,cus it sadly ended. A relationship which comprises of Ivan Donald and our beautiful Adure, haha" she let out a slight chuckle " I know it's suprising to all of you,I know but why don't we let our stat speak" she said due to the chattering and gasps from the audience " so Adure what do you have to say about this,cus you've never mentioned it before,we are so surprised.so if it's okay with you we would like to know more about this story,is it really true,or is it just a rumour? The floor is yours " she added
Hmmmmm, Nancy has finally dropped the bombshell , my God what do I do, I just sat there with a blank face.my eyes kept darting around the place as if I was in search of something till it finally met with Folake's .she too had a nervous look on, by now I know everyone must be gawking at me .This is it,I'm screwed, infact I'm done, I don't even know what to say .I just remained unmoved with my eyes fixed on Folake
" You can do this" she suddenly mouthed giving me a smile, which I slowly returned .can I really do this,it's been four years now, four bloody years . am I courageous enough to talk about it,hmmm here goes nothing
"-'' Nancy wanted to say but I beat her to it
"It's not a rumour,it's true. I had a relationship with Ivan Donald and that was four years ago" I said
"Wow , so we want to know more about this ,I mean how long it lasted ,why you broke up,stuffs like that,I mean that's if you don't mind" she pointed out
"Well um , I don't mind" a sigh excaped my lips. I guess I'm actually doing this " but I must warn you the details are long,ours was a very long one,I'm not sure we have the time for it"
"Oh,that's okay sweetie.today's show is a very special one and since it's you, we can even spend all the time in the world, listening to your story,cus we love you and want to know you better.plus you are a a great story teller .am I right guys?" She said out loud facing the audience
"Yes" they screamed
" So Adure madame,the mic is yours"
Hmmmm I'm not sure I can do this anymore , memories of us just kept popping in my head ,"breath breath,calm down" I muttered to my self ,I took a deep breath ,my hands clasped together .the studio was so quiet now ,I sighed again and after a few moment of silence I finally spoke up
" Look into my eyes and tell me you don't love me" these were his last statement to me before we parted
Chapter three
He was my first love , my first crush and my first kiss. I still remember how I beamed with smiles the day he asked me out,I still remember how I longed for more the day he kissed me, what can I say damn he was a good kisser. It all started at senior year SS3 first term,on the 13th of may 2019.
Recalling:
It was the beginning of the term and as usual first day of school was always stressful , cus we would have to arrange our dorms, put our things in order , sometimes make up for some unfinished last term work and the worst part was we were never much ,yea 'we ' cus I never missed school,I always get a straight attendance award every year and a straight A award as well ,yea I was like the perfect student, perfect senior prefect , you bet I was every teachers favorite except Mr Godwin ,the schools physics teacher. I don't blame the man though, I myself had the same resentment towards him and it was for no reason,I only hated him because I hated physics alot back then in SS1 and it rubbed off on him. I was in the middle of my lunch when the principal called for me ,I grumbled as I walked to his office,*what does he want from me now,I've been working since morning supervising the student * I thought
"Oh here she comes" his coarse voice welcomed me into the office
" Good day sir" I greeted him and the man sitting there as well
"Good day Adure,how are you" he asked
"I'm fine sir" I responded
" Good, good. So Mr.Donald she's the one I was telling you about,Adure Badmus,the senior prefect of this school" The principal said to the man
" Oh yes,yes.she's just as you said earlier, respectful and polite" now facing me " hi dear,I'm Mr.Tobechukwu Donald" I couldn't help but blush,he spoke so softly
"Adure Badmus"
"What sort of a name is that" a voice was heard behind me
" And what sort of a face is this" he snorted,the look of disgust can be clearly seen in his countenance. *damn,my tribal marks*I thought. I've always hated them
" Ivan don't be rude " Mr.Tobe reprimanded
"Dad I only said what I saw,look at her" he took another glance at me, before he turned away.i felt like crying,I felt so miserable
"That's enough Ivan" the principal finally spoke up
"Adure I'm sorry for that, please don't mind my son" Mr.Tobe pleaded
"Your son" I didn't know when it excaped my lips,they were so different. Mr.Tobe was light skinned , the so-called Ivan was caramel. Mr.Tobe was nice, while Ivan was rude. Mr.Tobe was handsome but Ivan was more handsome, I couldn't deny ,he was a melanin beauty.i used beauty because that's what describes him perfectly.he's beautiful
" So Ivan as you already know this is Adure,she's the senior prefect of this school.i called her here specially for you" *wait,for him,why was I called for him * I thought
"Well Adure, lvan just got admitted here and since you are the SP,I want you to show him to the boys dormitory and also around the school when his all settled " he said with a smile as I nodded my head
" So Ivan , welcome to Dowen High . Trust me you will love it here, you both can go now" The principal added
" Yea right" Ivan scoffed " see you later Dad" he said and they hugged. I just stood still wondering how and why they were related , cus they were so different.
" Hey ugly,can you move? '' he snapped me out of my thought " yea , right" I muttered.i was about moving when Mr.Tobe called
" Oh and Adure,thank you"
"You are welcome sir". With that we were both out of the office, while Ivan's guards trailed behind us carrying his bags.we kept walking till we finally got to the gate of the boys dormitory,I immediately stopped at the block and so did the rest.
"Why did we stop" he asked
"Well this is it,and I can't go any further .so just go in and the dorm master will show you to a room" I responded
" What do you mean by to a room,my dad already asked the school management to prepare a personal room for me,so that should be a* to my room* ".
"Look I'm not the school management , neither am I the dorm master who they must have given that information,I've done my part and I'm off" I spoke up, about to walk away but then he held me back
"What were you about to do Adure , no one walks out on me "
" Well finally someone called me by my name ,oh and you didn't die while saying it " I scoffed
" - " he was about to say when Ifeanyi the dorm master walked up to us." Adure is everything okay" he asked really concerned, anyone would cus the way Ivan was holding me was kinda fishy
" Yea everything is fine " I yanked my hands off his
"If you say so " now to Ivan " Ivan Donald right " Ifeanyi asked expecting a reply but as expected Ivan didn't , Ifeanyi just shrugged it off " come with me,let me show you to your room" he added and walked into the dorm,after taking what seemed like a deadly glance at me,Ivan followed him in and so did the guards"So arrogant"I mumbled as I walked back to the cafeteria.Lunch break was over but I just needed to make sure every other student were now in their class.Sp duties..."Finally we are done for the day,God I love and hate my job" Chisom yawned so loudly, causing everyone of us to stare at her"Swallow is o" Tokpe teased and we all laughed"Tokpeeeee" she whined causing us to laugh even harder. Chisom and Tokpe ,they were both the labour prefects,he so much liked to tease her. They both act like couples , though we all teased them over it,we knew they liked each other but they kept denying their feelings . School was over and we had just finished our prefect meeting about retir
before you get caught.besides it's late go get some sleep,I love you my child, good night" she said and hung up."I love u too mum" I whisperedi knew he hit her,I knew my mom so well and I knew that son of a bitch I called a father had beaten her up again.i hated him so much. I turned my head sideways just to make sure no one was watching,and I quickly hid the phone. The thought of my mom being in pain clouded my mind,I wished I was there to protect her.sometimes I felt like I failed her as an only child,but I was vunerable ,I needed to be in school,I needed the scholarship.yea I was one of the lucky scholars who got admitted into Dowen High.i can remember clearly how my mum fought with my dad just to let me school here,I had to agree with my dad at some point ,to school at home, at our village secondary school , because I felt no one would be there to protect mum from his unending torture, but my mum still made sure I accepted the scholarship.infact I am who I am today because of m
I avoided him for the next two weeks,I didn't know why but I just had to. The worst part was what transpired in the bathroom always popped up in my head almost every single damn time. His voice, his warmth , urrggg I so much hated this guy, I hated the fact that I couldn't hate him.It was a Saturday and as usual I woke up late.i had just come out of the bathroom heading to my wardrobe"Jesus! you scared me" I exclaimed when I saw Ivan on mybed"You sure did took your time" he said"Ivan what are you doing here"I asked holding the towel more firmly"Why are you avoiding me" he asked"I'm not and please can you leave,as you can see I'm half naked "I said sharply " Don't flatter yourself , I'm not looking" he scoffed"I can't put on my clothes with you here , and where did my room mates go " I added now realizing no one was in the room but us."Well I paid them off" he answered"Look o really ha...""Nice write-up" he cut in not letting me finish "did you write the stories""Yea, every
Ivan" I called not knowing what to say"Please Adure I know I've not been nice to you,I called you names and said hurtful words to you,but the thing is,I can't get my head off you, I can't stop stealing glances at you in class , I can't stop wanting to hear your voice everyday.swears these last two weeks were like hell without you, I can't help but confess that I'm madly and irrevocably In love with you, with the most beautiful ugly girl I've ever met. Adure please,will you be my girlfriend" he ended his long speechI was speechless,I didn't know what you say."Ivan I'm surprised,what is all this,I mean this is just so crazy,you in love with me?" I asked mouth agaped"Yes and I hope you would accept my proposal, I promise to be the best boyfriend ever,just please say yes" he continued . Gosh my feelings were starting to get the best of me,I just realized that I foolishly liked him too ,I couldn't speak,I just stood still , my face expressionless . I slowly pulled him up looking straig

Gosh my feelings were starting to get the best of me,I just realized that I foolishly liked him too ,I couldn't speak,I just stood still , my face expressionless . I slowly pulled him up looking straight into his eyes and boom I melted in his arms . I hugged him so tightly but warmly,i could feel his hands wrapped around my waist . we stayed like that till he broke the hug and tilted my face upward"Does the relationship also last if the couples have their first kiss here " he giggled ,he didn't wait for my reply before he took my lips into his as he kissed me slowly.i wasn't responding to it at first,but when our tongues touched I felt a burning sensation inside of me, butterflies filled my stomache. we continued
" Chisom gasped the moment I stepped into the hall."Yea, we all look good " Bimbo added. Oh did I forget to mention, Tokpe finally asked Chisom out and they were dating already, they such a cute couple, always serving us hot hot. Normally Tokpe was a gentleman, a full spec."Oh my goodness! this guy too fine'" Cindy the labour prefect exclaimed the moment Ivan stepped in. We didn't enter together because as SP I needed to make sure the whole place was in order, so I had to go early . His black sleeves and jean suited himperfectly, as usual he left his chest open , I hated the fact that these other girls were drooling and naughtily winking at him . There was one time I didn't talk to him for days because he returned a smile to a girl, he had to beg really hard before I stopped sulking and forgave him. I also made him promise never to smile at any girl again, silly me."Hey babe" he kissed my forehead when he got to where I stood"Hey" i said hugging him"Awwwn, this one is Tokpe and
I woke up to see a worried Ivan pacing to and fro "my mum" I called weakly"Ivan mum is dead,he has finally succeeded in killing my dearest mother" I cried o"Babe please calm down, dont worry I will make suren she gets justice" Ivan consoled as I kept crying . I was still sobbing in his arms when the principal called for me and Ivan.He didn't ask me to sit this time around , his face was so tight , livid in anger.Maddie was also there with an annoying smile plastered on her face ."Sir you called for us" Ivan spoke up but the principal didn't reply.he just collected thephone on Maddies hand and started playing an audio. I wasn't hearing it clearly at first cus it was faint , but as it slowly became audible ,my jaw dropped , my eyes were already watering .God, it was I and Ivan's sextape.when was this made and how" I thought out loud."I should be asking you that Adure,what is the meaning of this,I expected more from you" he asked ,but I couldn't speak ,I just kept my head down as ho
My heart sank deeper. I didn't know what else to do, I couldn't take it anymore . I just burst into more years , not knowing what to say ." You son of a bitch , how dare you " Tokpe punched at Ivan in rage . By now , they were all with me , Chisom and the rest quickly rushed to hold me as I was falling to the ground ."You should be ashamed of yourself dirty pervert " Bimbo fired at Ivan.little by little I regained my balance , and ran out of there to my dorm. The pain was just too much , my mom's death , Ivan's betrayal , everything that was happening.I finished packing my things and walked out of the room , heading to the school gate . "Adure I will miss you 😩 " Chisom sobbed." We will all miss you " Danny added . He was actually crying, they were all crying .. They all walked me to the gate , I took a last glance at the school , took a last glance at my friends and slowly turned my back at them , walking down the busy roads of Lagos .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
