     I rubbed my sweaty hands up and down my gown as I tried to look away from the doorway as it creaked open again, the sound vibrating then stopping like it has been doing for the past hour.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and looked back at a smiling amara.

Amara, my roommate of almost two years flashed me one of her famous blinding smile.

I could remember when I just saw Amara for the first time, I came to the conclusion on the spot that I didn't like her after assessing her for a few minutes, her smiles were always too beautiful, making her appear very happy. I don't even remember why I agreed to not wanting her for a friend in the first place.

Most of our lecturers ended up liking her immediately, as her aura alone was accepting and inviting, that alone was working wonders on not just the students but on the lecturer.

Surprisingly, we became very close friends some months after we resumed in our first year and here we are today, we're best friends and roommates of almost two years.

"Yeah?" I asked as I raised my brow when she started smiling her one of her irritating smiles again before letting out.

"I know why you're so flustered, it's because of Silas, right?" She wiggled her brows before continuing.

"Just admit if you have a crush on him or not, sheeeze!" She snickered, pulling her braids backwards when they dropped all over her face.

"Girls and their problems." Abu butted in.

Abu, and I met when I was six years old, he can be an idiot most times but who isn't an idiot once in a while anyways?  He's an amazing person too, he's just dumb along with being brilliant.

We are close Friends who tell each other almost everything. I sighed and rolled my eyes as amara smacked his arm before scolding him.

"Was she talking to you in the first place? And what's the 'girls and their problems' supposed to mean? It's not our business and problem that your crush doesn't like you back." Amara ended with sarcastic air quotes as she look him up and down from beneath her eye lashes before brushing him off like an annoying fly.

She rambled on and on as I zoned out again day dreaming about Silas, like I always doing, consciously and unconsciously.

      Silas's a new student, he came to our school four weeks ago from another school which he was transferred from since he requested for a transfer, he's a very brilliant student, that's one of the reasons why Abu doesn't like him, because he's always trying to beat Silas in any thing in class, be it home work, class work, extra curricular activities, debates and the rest. Abu's a very competitive soul and hates when he isn't the best at something, it's a nice zeal and all but it sometimes gets irritating, especially when he's always ranting to me about how Silas is this and Silas is that, as if I'll ever find fault in anything he does.

I blinked slowly when Amara tapped me again.

"What is it? Ughh!"  I asked, feeling irritated all of a sudden. Amara who's already used to my weird mood swings just rolled her eyes and whispered.

"Silas's coming, don't look back, you'll seem so obvious, just pretend as if you're talking to me." I nodded my head as I got very tempted to take a glance, I whirled my head around slowly to get a quick glimpse but Amara pulled the tip of my ear stubbornly and rolled her eyes before admonishing again.

"I said not to look back dummy, oh! He isn't alone, he isn't!" She squeaked.

"Who's he with?" I pressed, almost turning my head around, not caring if I'll be so obvious.

"Oh, he's with Zoe and Rita." I fumed, Oof! Rita of all people,and Zoe? Shy Zoe? I hated Zoe, she's always loved by everyone, and I meant everyone, even Amara and Abu are totally cool with her. I scoffed,why are those two ducks always with him? It's so unfair!.

"Hey, he's staring at you!"

I hate tensions.

Amara squeaked again and I almost fainted, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I chanted to myself as I tried to calm my wayward breathing.

"He's coming this way." Amara whispered as she made to leave her seat.

"Where are you going?" I peeped.

"Please don't leave me alone, I'm not prepared for this at all." I pleaded as I pulled her back into her seat when she actually started leaving her seat to my dread.

"Oh well, I'll stay. Oh, he's not coming here." She face palmed herself and for a moment and I got tempted to pull her long braids.

"He isn't?" I groaned. All these anxiety for nothing, I let out a deep breath as I made to face the front of the class.

"He isn't, he took the seat before yours, Zoe's sitting in his laps and Rita is tapping away on her phone." She explained. 

"I'm just gonna sit properly and pretend as if nothing happened." I told her and she smiled before nodding her head and giving me a 'go for it' sign.

I turned properly in my seat, looking forward and cursing my luck as my eyes met Silas's above Zoe's head. He winked at me before facing the front of the class, leaving me flustered with lips parted and heart racing again.

     I slumped down in my chair like a sack of potatoes, suddenly tired of school today and wanting to go home, I have had enough of today.

    I groaned and closed my eyes when Linda passed my seat, hissing and glaring at me for another stupid reason, I am sure.

Urg! I hate today, I groaned again as I tried to tune out everything.

    

     A few seconds later, Abu tapped my shoulders and said. 

"Fay!! look's who's coming."

    I looked up tiredly and smiled on seeing who Abu was referring to. It was no other person than Samuel. Samuel and I aren't that close, just your typical school course mates who try to at least be friendly towards each other and he's pretty cool, Abu's always claiming that Samuel likes me which is always making me feel weird anytime I'm around him. Today isn't an exemption, I pushed out of my chair and hugged him before saying."Samuel!! How many weeks? you should just die in the village and not bother coming back."I chastened playfully."Hey, where's the new phone you said you were gonna show me?" Abu inquired."Oh, it's in my bag, let me get it for you."He replied as he released me from the unwanted hug to bring out the new phone, he bragged about getting a new phone this semester and no one doubted him.

    "Amara baby, I'm sorry." I cooed."Leave me alone." She snapped but I saw her beautiful smile already tugging her lips which she tried to hide."I'll write your psychology notes for you?" I purposed again.No, definitely not." She refused again but it's already obvious in her voice that's she's already smiling. I rolled my eyes, she's proving stubborn, typical Amara, let's see if she refuses this.I'll buy you lunch after class." I purposed and laughed as she jumped on me while chanting."Yes! Yes! Yes! I forgive your stupid ass." She said then continued."Just don't do shit like that again." She admonished. "I won't." I replied. Oh well, that's solved, now let's just write the stupid attendance and get the fuck out of here. "Hey, can I stand before you? I'm too tired to stand at the end of the line, pleaseeeeeee

    'A dustbin is just right there, Fay'.My subconscious reminded me.Shut the fuck up!. I pushed back at her."Now, back to class." Amara stated as she headed towards block E. That's our last class for today and I don't feel like attending, and besides, to get to that particular block isn't easy at all and right now, I feel too tired and drained."Amara, can we skip the class? You know I said was tired. I'm still tired and more drained, I just wanna go home." I said to Amara who stopped in her tracks to stare at me before asking."What is it, Fay? You know, it's unlike you to be tired and drained like this. Are you alright?" She queried as she stare closely at my face.On getting home, the gate was about to be locked by the gateman but he opened it back again on sighting two of the tenants.Normally, students gets a room

    I headed for my closet and brought out a light grey jumpsuit, putting it on my bed, along with my undies. I headed into the bathroom and did my business, coming out stronger and more energetic.I don't know what kind of magicwater has in it but it always have the power to soothe my body. Especially cold showers. I've always hated using hot or boiled water to bath, I'll go for cold and chilled water anytime, any day.Putting lotion on my body, I pull on my undies then my jumpsuit. I sat down on my bed as I picked up my wig, the one I wore to school today. I combed my fingers through it before stretching for the brush on the table, beside my bed. I brushed the wig to my satisfaction before hanging it on the left wall in my room.Looking around for my phone, I picked up my dirty clothes and put them in the basket beside my closet before heading out of

    "Nah, I'll use my roll on." She replied as she dropped the roll on on her bed, heading for the door."Jesus!! Fay! Your perfume is too strong please, my nose." Abu said as he looks at me weirdly before coughing a little."Duh! It's my choice, I like my perfume strong. Deal with it."I replied as I faintly noted that I might have over sprayed the perfume, but who cares, it's my choice."You're a case, I swear." He replied as he stood up.We headed outside and waited for Amara to lock the door."Give me the key, let me keep it in my bag, you know you're not with any bag." I said to Amara."Ehn? So that we'll sleep outside today, right? I'll hold the keys please." She replied as she looked me up and down before tucking the key into her pocket.I scowled at her."Whatever!" I threw o

    Zayn shocked expression on hearing Fay tell him to shift away from her quickly cleared away as he tried to think of another way to get the stuck up Fay to get free with him. Fay pulled her neckline from her neck and grimaced as it comes back to her skin like rubber. She's feels stuffy and held in, she have always hated this feeling. She threw a glance at Zayn and shrugged on seeing him staring broodingly at his drink. Maybe I was a little to harsh on him before, she thought before shrugging her shoulders again, who cares. She leaned against her chair and glanced at Amara again. Amara is looking flustered and a little drunk but not too drunk. She likes letting loose and mingling with strangers like this, it's a trait she have since she could remember. He's very good looking and dark, since she started puberty, her fancy has always been in dark an

    Drinking down the warm cornflakes in fast gulps, I grabbed my head in my hands and sighed. A very horrible headache decided to wake me up from a very short sleep. °°°°°° After giving Michael my number I headed back inside the bar to get Abu and Amara as it was almost 1:00am. As I walked into the bar, the people who witnessed my little brawl with the drunk man kept staring at me till it got unnerving. I was almost shouting at them to go get a life but I dismissed the thought the moment it came through. I've had enough drama for the night. On heading to the table, to my surprise the table was ringing with laughter from the people surrounding it and I sighted Abu with a girl that wasn't there before, beside him. Even Zayn is back into the party spirit as he is a

It's already almost the end of our law class, he left our class early, requesting for our assignments to be submitted and our names be written accordingly to the way our assignments were dropped.

    And before I could even think about it, I started telling him about my baby brother, James.I didn't even know when the tears started to fall until Silas swiped his thumb against a tear slipping down my cheeks in folds.I pulled away from his reach till I sat at the very edge of his bed as I motionlessly continued to tell me about how growing up with him was.How exciting and eventful the few years I got to spend with him felt, how the years he lived were probably my most meaningful years in my whole life.I could feel the tears pouring down my cheeks as I sobbed quietly, not even a tearful sound escaped my lips as I went on and on about how James was everything.Till I killed him."When I noticed my change in behavior, there wasn't really anything I could do about it. Sometimes I'll just cry for no reason. Other times I'll just starve myself for reasons unknown to me, sometimes I get so confused and lost inside of my own body and it's hard to

    "It's not your fault he died. It's not."I shook my head in denial as I tried to mentally block out all Silas was saying while I tried focusing on my breathing which suddenly ceased for a few seconds due to how hard I was crying.It was a Monday, three days after the session I had with my therapist. Three days after I spoke with Michael. Three days after I finally admitted to my self that I had somehow fallen in love without even realising it.It was supposed to be just a simple hangout where by I'll get to talk with Silas and maybe kiss and do we other stuff for a little bit before I'll finally head home.It wasn't supposed to have a very emotional talk, it wasn't.Somewhere along the line, I found myself in Silas room. This time, I had ventured into his room for the first time, not just his sitting room and kitchen.To say his room was fine was putting it to

    "I've missed you so much, Sisi.""Oh, come on! I thought we agreed not to call each other silly nicknames anymore?" Silas argued with Jordan, an amused laugh playing across his face."You started it, remember? You called me Jordie!""Aw, I was just joking, man." Silas explained but Jordan brushed him off with a shake of his head after pointing out to him that he was the one who started everything.They laughed before Timi, the third boy in the group of friends embraced Silas heatedly. It was pretty obvious about who Silas was really close with between the two guys.The only girl in the group of friends came forward and literally flew into Silas outstretched hands who immediately wrapped themselves around her waist as he lifted her from the ground for a little bit before finally releasing her.I watched, an amused expression on my face as they exchanged p

He trailed off as he wiggled his eyebrows playfully, all traces of seriousness gone from his face, his goofy, playful side back in place."You're high." I informed him with an amused eye roll.A ping came from my phone which was dropped behind the Mac by a very hyper Ashley the moment the call connected with Silas's about an hour ago or so.I bended forward to retrieve the phone, the small exclamation of 'Fuck!' stopped me for a few seconds before I reached forward a little bit more till I reached the phone and returned back to my normal position.My mouth suddenly went dry when I caught Silas's heated gaze on my boobs, he lifted his gaze to my face, our eyes locking intently."Fuck, I didn't know you weren't wearing anything underneath

I asked with narrowed eyes as I collected the phone from Whitney's outstretched grip."I swear Aunty F... I mean Fay, it was a mistake. You know, we were just busy watching BTS on YouTube when the call came through and my finger mistakenly tapped it." Ashley explained as she moved her hands around then she mistakenly hit Whitney on the tight with her wandering hands.Whitney only scowled at her younger sister befo

    "There's something about you, something different and fresh like a new gift yet unwrapped, waiting to be pealed off carefully." "At first, I thought it was just a normal attraction, but then somehow I started admitting to myself that it was more than that. Before I knew it, you were always in my head. Be it morning, afternoon, evening and night. Heck, I dream about you once in a while too." I sat up stiffly on the seat of the swing as I drank in all he was softly saying into my ear, his heated breath fanning softly against the sensitive spot behind my ear."Somewhere, somehow, you got into my head and stayed there. I still think it's weird though, this constant edging feeling biting my insides with warmth." He pulled me closer till my whole back was firmly pressed into his chest and his lips pressing into the curve of my ear.

    I stepped into the house and pulled the door closed behind me, different excitement filled voices crackled around in the air to my amusement.Chelsea wagged her tail at me the moment I walked through the door.The voice was mainly coming from the kitchen which I made my way to almost immediately, I was dying to set my eyes on them.An amused smile graced my lips on seeing the three children huddled over one iPad as they disagreed over the game they were supposed to be playing at the moment."Fay! You're back." Mum gushed immediately she sighted me hanging by the door of the kitchen as she made a hand gesture for me to come in instead of standing stiffly by the door."Aunty Fay! Oh my gosh you're so beautiful!" One of the three girls who were arguing over the iPad gushed as she drank me in through her eyes.She looked like a ten years old, but she definitely ac
