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."

I watched out of the passengers window as the wind of Florida whipped past us at high speed. It wouldn't work out, I tried covincing myself that my parents idea of relocating to Florida was just a phase that would soon pass and that very soon, we would go back to our small but comfy home in Nigeria. We had arrived the airport some hours ago and where now in a taxi on our way to 'our new home.' When the car finally came to a stop, the silence between my parents and I was definitely overwhelming. "Grab your things. Your furniture and other decorations should arrive in some hour time." My mum said smiling as I nodded non to aware of of the battle raging inside of me. Would I fit in? How was life going to be as a newbie in a strange environment. Would my neighbors love to make friends? All these thoughts raced through my mind as I grabbed my things and went after my mum. I attempted to scan the environment but I couldn't see pass the white enormous house that stood before me. It was

Dad worked as a neurosurgeon and got transferred here to work as a specialist. He was the reason why we came down to Florida . Mom was a fashion guru widely known but that didn't mean I had a fashion sense. I was a complete wacko when it came to dressing. Give me crazy Jean anytime, anyday and I'd be the love of your life. Mum had tried several times to get me to dress like a lady and it didn't turn out well. I had my wardrobe as proof.I was miserable, when it came to dressing, but hey, who needed to dress like Cinderella to get noticed?"Emmy!" My mum's shrill voice cut into my wandering though from below,"Get your acts together and meet me in the kitchen in five.""Aaaaaarrrrgggh." I murmured," this was the disadvantage in being an only child. I got to do the dishes and other house chores. Why they refused to get an help I'd never know. Scampering from my bed, I ran my hand through my hair and found my way dow

Monday morning came sooner than I'd expected. Dad dropped me off at my new school, note the sarcasm, and eyed me curiously as I tip toed towards the school's building. I don't blame him though, cause I'd caught myself eyeing me. I mean, who goes to school in baggy sweatshirt and crazy Jean? Me. Why? Because I intended to remain invisible to the human eye. That's weird right? I know, but I couldn't help myself.It was my first day in a new school and I'd not even met anyone yet I felt like peeing in my pants.The school was magnificent.I forced myself to move towards the hallway wishing in my heart of heart that I had worn something else. Fadalawd I was looking so underdressed. I glanced around to find solace in other students dressed like me but I couldn't see none. If it helps, I noticed other girls where dressed fashionably in tank tops, skirts and trousers. I was the weirdo.Finally, I found my w

"I'll see you tomorrow in class." Mrs Dubowitz announced as we exited history class around nine in the morning. It took every ounce of my will power not to March down to the principal's office and demand a new schedule. One that didn't involve history at 8am every day.Carting my new history textbook back to my locker, I marvelled at it newness. "How was class?" Foluke asked when I reached my locker besides each other's.It made my heart warm up that Foluke was still willing to be my friend even after all that had transpired between I and Alain."I had Mrs Dubowitz." I thought that was all the explanation I needed.Foluke burst out laughing."That bitchy old which! I bet you had fun?""Yeah, i did.""You know some students actually think she's a real witch." Foluke whispered as she closed her locker with her new book inside.I did the same

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
