EMMY AND I ARE GOING OUT
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Almost to the end of school hours, the PA system blared out. "This is your vice principal speaking. I'm here to announce what you all have been waiting for. The nominees for the homecoming crown this weekend." He paused as if to catch his breathe and then continued, "The nominees for the homecoming Kings are, our ruling king, "Alain netheridge."
I glanced around and everyone's attention was glued to the PA system, except for some few who acted bored by the speech and would rather the speech ended so they could go about their normal business."Raynard Stormwind."I so desperately wanted to smile when I heard that name but the eyes that turned to Stare at me had me keeping it together."Jeremiah Hoffman."A girl scoffed beside me, "Wrong choice.""And the nominees for the homecoming queens are, Emem yonas."About 20 of the girls in the locker room turned to look at me. Foluke wasn't lying and I'm sure that wherever she was, she was grinning."Our rulingRelated chapters
The Boy Nextdoor JOHNNY DRILLE AND SIMI?
"I really like you , and it's trueThere is only one just you, yeahI find it hard, to say, I wish you knewI am on your Instagram all day, stalking you.You in my life, is all I'm hoping forIf you could be mine,Now and forevermore,I wan talk my mind, and say how, I feel inside,But I fear you won't, you won't feel the same for me.Oh if she loves me,Hallelujah!Oh if she loves me,Hallelujah,My baby loves me,Hallelujah,She say she loves me,Hallelujah."What's that romantic thought you've always had? Like, wishing you'd wake up one day to breakfast in bed? Mine was definitely not along that line, neither was waking up to Ray sitting on my window singing, Hallelujah by Johnny drille and Simi among to. I woke up, thinking everything was just being played in my head , but waking up, I just wanted to screaaaaaaaaammmmmm. Or maybe hug him? Cry? Smile? Jump up and down? Oh Lord, I looked and felt stupid but the lo
The Boy Nextdoor DETENTION!!
I entered the kitchen fully dressed for school and anticipating dinner with Ray in the evening. Anyone with good eyes could see I was way too happy.I found Ray and Alaine sitting on the kitchen counter and my mum talking to Ray happily. For a moment I was taken aback. My mum would never let me sit on the kitchen counter but here she was, breaking rules. Wow, something definitely was wrong somewhere. And didn't Ray and Alaine have to go to school? Didn't Alaine have a calculus test with me?"Good morning mum." I turned to both boys on the counter, "Don't you guys have school to attend today?" I tried hard to keep my gaze from wandering to Ray, which it constantly did.Ray grabbed me by the waist unexpectedly, planted a kiss on my both cheeks and said, "That's no way to greet your boyfriend."I wanted to melt, right at the spot. The way he smiled made me realize he did that on purpose. I remained glued to him and sneaked a glance at my mom who was blushing ferociously
The Boy Nextdoor YOU AND RAY?
"can you come over? -Alaine."I looked at the text for the fifteenth time to be sure I read right, and wondered how he got my digits.For the past four days, after Ray and I spent two full hours staring at a blank paper in the name of detention, we avoided each other like a plague. We barely talked, even In chemistry class which we both shared. Just when I thought we were getting along fine.Foluke started spending time with Jeremy, Meredith was always with Miguel and Bisola was always going off and on, but I wasn't alone.I spent time with Ray nowdays. When I told foluke this, she simply rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah. Big surprise you're spending time with a really hot guy who happens to be your boyfriend."Well she was right.I mean, after the kiss thing and the fact that we were spending a lot of time together, people began to take us serious.Just yesterday, a gossip review came out with a picture of our kiss and a full blow to blow detail of our re

The Boy Nextdoor NEW YORK
"what the fuck just happened?" Foluke asked me."I don't know. It still feels surreal." I said gasping for air."Those girls are evil." She said, "they would've killed us. For real.""And we'd have killed them back." I said, not really thinking.I turned to see Foluke giving me a weird look. She then used the back of her palms to feel my body, touching my head and neck. "Babe, are you okay?" She asked me.Eyeing her wearily, I asked, "What sorta question is that? I don't look okay?""Yes." She said, "Infact you're not okay.""How do you mean?" I questioned."How do you intend on killing those girls after they've killed you?" She asked."I said that?" I asked."I'm beginning to think you're having memory loss.""Thank you." I waved her aside, trying to avoid unnecessary argument. My head was pounding already, and I just slumped on the gym floor where we had escaped to. We talked about random things until tryouts where over.*. *. *. *."Foot
The Boy Nextdoor HAVE THEY KILLED EACH OTHER YET?!
Four hours later, I stood in front of Ray's door with a bag in my hand. I didn't carry much but I packed carefully. "Can you please show us to our rooms?" I asked carefully."There's one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Alain, take the one downstairs. Emmy come up with me." Ray said, nodding.I glanced at him through the corner of my eyes, feeling oddly shy and wondering why. I tried very hard not to smile at the hideous thought in my mind."Hold it. I don't like the idea of the both of you upstairs together." Alain said."Really, you don't?" Ray asked sarcastically. "Well I don't like the idea of the fact that you think that I care about what you think.""Well like it or not, " Alain said, "I'm in charge.""Nobody asked you to take charge. No one. This is my house and my rules." Ray retorted.My head began to spin slowly as I imagined where the argument was leading to. This was a bad idea. Leaving me with two boys who were at loggerheads with each ot
The Boy Nextdoor WHY ARE YOU SHIRTLESS?
Alaine had his eyes glued to the TV he didn't notice the little movie going on besides him."I'm sorry, but I can't resist you." Ray whispered in my ears.My mouth had gone dry and my lips wouldn't movie. I wanted to nod my head but found that it wouldn't be possible too. I stared, awestruck at him as he ran his thumbs across my nipples. I lay still, for fear that if I moved, Alaine would notice.He played with my breast like it was normal, and laughed at a funny scene on the TV. When his hands left my breast, they traced the outline of my skin and then rested behind my backside. I stiffled a moan, when his hands found my breast again, tracing them with his fingertips.Annoyingly, the movie ended, making Ray withdraw his hands suddenly. I felt it and arched my back, trying to burn out the sensation."It's time for bed." Alain said handing over the remote to Ray. "See you tomorrow,Emmy." He eyed the awkward position between Ray and I. "Can we now go to bed?""
The Boy Nextdoor DEATH BY HANGING OR?
"Best of luck explaining to her man." Alaine patted Ray on the shoulder, grinning. "I'm outta here.""You are going not going anywhere!" I barked which made Alaine scramble back quickly."High Emmy was so much better." Ray muttered under his breath."Excuse me?" I said, my eyes narrowing at the corners."I mean nothing." He said grinning.I loved his smile, but believe me, he wasn't going to buy his way out with one. "What happened last night?"Ray looked at Alaine expectantly but Alaine gave him a look that said it's all on you."So Emmy, you remember when we were having our little romance session before Alaine interrupted?" Ray asked.My eyes bulged and I wanted to puke, Alaine's face mirrored the same expression. How could he say that in front of Alaine. I blushed ferociously and hid my trembling hands behind my back. "Okay? I remember." I said. Atleast, I remembered that much.Ray grinned, and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before I cou

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." I laughed, shaking my head. "I thought so too. Now you get going, you have a girlfriend to
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

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
