People were staring at us but their attention was mostly on Meredith who looked like she was about to kill us."I don't get why this is such a big deal." Bisola said.Meredith glared at her."Sorry." Bisola said in a tiny voice. "But you wouldn't tell us anything so we decided to find out ourselves.""Okay fine, what do you want to know?" Meredith said."Everything." Bisola replied."We met at your place, more or less so. She gave her number to me and I called her." Miguel said.Foluke had a weird look on her face."That's all?" I asked."Yup." Meredith said.We looked at them , cracking our brain for something to say but we didn't find any so we kept quiet."Fine," Bisola said after sometime. We'll leave you guys to continue what you were doing.""Oh, the date got over. But on the other hand, I'll need a dress forRelated chapters
The Boy Nextdoor YOU SNEEZE LIKE A GIRL
By the time the lunch bell rang, I was already outside, flanked by foluke and Meredith. Ray had called Stacy to come pick us up. We were talking about the homecoming dance when stacy's car pulled up beside us."Who the hell is that _?" Foluke said immediately Stacy stepped out of her blue van."Ray's nanny." I repliedIf eyes could pop out and jaws could reach the floor, theirs just did."Anyways, that's my ride." I said waving at them and ran to meet up with Stacy."Ray called me." She said, "Where's he by the way?""Really? Thought he was here?" I said."Nope. He said to come pick you up." Stacy rolled her eyes. "Hop in the car.""Oh." I sat silently all through the car ride till we got home, my mind wandering. Where did he go?When we finally arrived the house, I couldn't wait to get out of the car that I tripped a billion time on my leg.The house was sparkling and had a faint smell of lemon. I sighed in relief, never have I been so h
The Boy Nextdoor HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM?
I have never woken up so early my entire life. I woke up exactly 7'0clock, feeling so happy and refreshed. I was dressed in tights and sneakers with a pretty t-shirt and put on my favorite strawberry lipstick.I smiled inwardly and went down the kitchen.Ray wasn't in the kitchen yet except Alain who was studying for a biology test. Prior to yesterday's event, he looked calm. Like nothing ever happened."I hate biology." Alaine said, handing me a sandwich but not quite looking at me.I took a bite and was about saying something when I got interrupted."I quite like biology." Ray announced.I turned around, eager to see him. For heaven's sake Emmy. Stop acting like a lost puppy. InHis hair was was extremely messy, sticking out in every possible way and his green eyes were dull."I would say take a picture it last longer. But we both know you already have." Ray said when he caught me staring.

The Boy Nextdoor HOMECOMING
I got out of the car, carefully bundling up my dress so that it didn't get soiled. It was the home coming ball today, and Meredith had taken time to do my makeup.She did everything to perfection I could hardly believe it was me in the mirror when I saw myself. The Roman baked powder she used on my face was such a fine blend you wouldn't know I had on powder. For my lips, she used nude lipstick and topped it with gloss, that my already plump lips become plumpier, full and glittering.The person right in the mirror wasn't me. I could attest to that."Okay." Meredith said, "I want plenty of pictures and you better have a dance. Mascara is water proof just incase there's any drama. Your lipgloss and mascara are all in your purse."I smiled. "Aren't you coming?"Meredith smiled. "Best of luck . I've got plenty of things to do. Curfew is to not return home before midnight." She said and drove off.I laughed and suddenly butterflies erupted

The cheers was deafening.Alaine shook his head and held out his hands for me to take and I grabbed it.The crowd continued to clap and I couldn't help but smile. "Fine, I too can dance with whomever I like." Mitchell said and stalked off to were Ray stood, yanking him towards her."Hey!" I shouted, taking a step towards but moved back when the entire crowd turned to look at me."Can I have this dance?" Alaine said smiling.I smiled. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting this drama."He laughed. "It's okay. Besides, it's high time Mitchell and I had a dance with someone other than each other.""Mitchell would freak out if she heard you say that. I said, "I mean for the first time she's loosing her place as the homecoming queen.""We broke up." He blurted out.I have him a blank look as he wrapped his hands around my waist and I instinctively put mine around his neck as we moved in rhythmn with the slow s
The Boy Nextdoor WHEN YOU GET MARRIED TO RAY
The doorbell dinged donged. A sign that someone was at the door.I really didn't want to go down. I just wanted to stay up in my room all day and think about my life. I didn't need any disturbances.The bell rang again for the upteenth time and I swore. God save me if that was Ray. On a second thought, Ray wouldn't knock neither would Alain. I wasn't expecting anyone, where they?Sluggishly, I went out of my room and took the stairs one at a time. I got to the door and flung it open. "Mum!" I screamed in surprise."when did you get back? I've missed you so much!""Two hours ago, love." She pecked me on both cheeks. "How come you're the only one home?""Ray and I fell out." I said, "I left him behind, didn't think I could stomach him.""Oh dear, what happened?" She asked with a worried expression, "Wasn't today supposed to be homecoming?""Exactly!" I concurred , "Homecoming happened! He kissed someone else.""
The Boy Nextdoor NEW YORK
"I'm going to tell the whole world you killed me." I said, desperately holding on to the railing and trying not to fall."Oh, come on. It's fun!" Ray yelled, gliding past me."Easy for you to say." I replied, "You're not the one desperately trying not to fall.""Come on and quit whining!" Ray said, "leave the rails. If you fall, I'll catch you.""Or I could just stand here and hope that I do not make tomorrow's headlines of death by ice skating.""God! You're so dramatic." He retorted, running a finger into his hair. "Here." He extended his hands for me to hold on to and I laughed."You're crazy if you think I'm letting go." I said. "That's like the tenth time you're promising not to let me fall but you end up doing it anyway.""This is an easier option." He said."What's that?" I asked, narrowing my eyes."This." He said, circling his arms around my waist and picking me up. I was so shocked I let go of
The Boy Nextdoor NOT ALL OF US HAVE THE ABILITY TO KEEP IT TO THEIR SELVES
I found somewhere quiet to sit and wiped away tears that had clouded my vision. I needed quiet. "Emmy." Ray said walking towards me."What do you want?" I asked heatedly. "I came her to get away from you, so you can save your explanation for who's interested.""Emmy, I'm sorry." He said, attempting to place a hand on my shoulder which I shook off. "I didn't mean it. All those things I said, I was just pissed off?"I took a step backward. "You were pissed off and you decided to take out your agression on me?"He looked frustrated, like he was going to cry. And I couldn't help but to think in that's moment how cute he looked. But I didn't tell him I'd already forgiven him even before he asked. That he'd won my heart a long time ago and I couldn't ignore him for long. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of that so I continued. "Don't you think I deserve to know what just happened there? Of course you don't! No one is deserving enou

She replied, cupping her mother's cheeks. "I'll never lie to you momma.""Right, Amelia. He told you this?""No mummy. But I've been watching him. you know how you always say, keep an eye on your brother? I've been doing that.""That's so cute." Emem picked up the five old child, spreading mushy kisses on her face. "You know her name?""I don't. " she replied thoughtfully. "You know he always shares his snacks with her?""He does now?" Emem asked."ofcourse momma. I'll never lie to you." She confirmed."You know what Amy?" Emem asked."What mummy?". Amelia asked expectantly."I think we tell daddy about this latest information. you know how he loves to tease you about things like that?""I agree momma.

The Boy Nextdoor TEARS RUNAWAY MY EYES.
Ray's POV"You're sure she would love this?" I asked foluke for the hundredth time."Have I ever lied to you? I'm hundred percent certain, Raynard. If she doesn't, have my head. Plus, you owe me hundred dollars for disturbing my sleep. Who raised you kid?" "Will do." I replied."But hold up Ray!" Foluke said, raising a finger. "You're anxious about this? You're definitely swooned.""You don't know anything about that." I replied, marvelling at the accuracy of her statement."Believe me, I Know more than I'm willing to let on. Beside, I don't think we need binoculars for this. It's all over you. In your eyes." She replied."What exactly are we talking about?" I probed."How much you're in love with Emem yonas." She replied, not mincing words."Dang!! Do you always have to be blunt?" I asked."I'll answer that, only if you make what you owe me three bucks." She replied."You're an extortionist."

The Boy Nextdoor letter from Emem.
Guys!!!it's been such a beautiful journey with you. Thinking right now how my journey would be if I didn't have you, I cringe .No one wants to spend eternity alone. Raynard is actually vexed that this took a little longer than planned, but it's nothing a little kiss can not solve. winks* He's that easy.Another thing... Ray's jealous over the fact that we're starting a new story.... With a new make hero , Walker. can you believe that?He thinks walker is going to be way hotter than him.. How absurd Is that. I know he likes to show off.. like, be the center of attention. That's my baby. but whatever, We just have two more chapters to go and we're done.The boy nextdoor was definitely a journey and I pray you find yours. He doesn't necessarily have to live nextdoor.I heard the girl in the next book, Steyn, is strong at heart. I heard she's beautiful too. Honestly, I feel so sad for her because unlike Ray, Walker is going to punish her!!.You see that too??But whatever.... she's a gi

The Boy Nextdoor 4 YEARS LATER
I stumbled out of my apartment in New Jersey, almost tripping on my sneakers. Heaven's help me. I was always late for the bus but not today. It was weekend and that meant spending it over at Ray's.I didn't stop running and tripping until I was inside the bus. Yeah! I mentally congratulated myself. I had a lot to gist Ray about when I got to New York City.I held until the railings of the rickety old bus that led to New York, as though my life depended on it. The gown I wore clung beautifully to my body. Ray would love it, I thought, congratulating myself. The distance from New Jersey to New York was just two miles, and I wondered why he wouldn't let me drive."If it isn't Emem?" I heard someone call my name and turned immediately to acquaint myself with whomever it was. You can imagine my shock when I realized it was Mitchell. Never in my life would I believe in Mitchell using the bus. "Well. Hello Mitchell." I replied, taking the empty sit beside her. "It's been what? Four , fi

Joy Esplana, Ashley, Katila Ailer, Kelli Harrison and Annetjie Steyn... you're all motivations....thank you.*. *. .....*. *. *. *. *. "Holdup, girl!! You definitely are going to wear that to your boyfriend's graduation?" Meredith asked, looking at the piece of clothing in my hands like it was thrash."Ofcourse!" I rolled my eyes, "Give me two reasons why I shouldn't wear jeans to my boyfriend's graduation.""Girl, you wanna be a laughing stock? Alright. You want to go down greenville's history book looking like that? Alright." Foluke squared her shoulders. "Problem is, you're my friend and I can't let you go to Greenville's high graduation looking like that.
The Boy Nextdoor How do you withstand all that heat?
I recounted my experience with the girls, not leaving out a single detail." You're a woman now." Foluke cupped my cheek, sounding like I had achieved something precious. "He definitely got plans for you.""Yeah?" Meredith grinned. "I can't believe you finally did it, and imagine, the both of you twinning!! It's like a dream!"I rolled my eyes. " We're not twinning, Meredith." I replied. "Call it a coincidence, maybe. Ray personally handpicked these clothes from his closet.""You don't say!" Bisola grabbed my shoulders. "These are Ray's clothes? Damn girl! I heard he shops from top brands!""Well, there's only one way to dispell that rumour." Meredith said, leaning in and reaching for the label at the back of the tee, "Louis Vuitton?" She grinned. "He definitely comes from wealth."Foluke rolled her eyes. " Coming from a fashion model? Meredith, you practically land your hand on these clothes before they come to us. What you on about exactly?"We laughed out loudly. "Meredith has alwa
