Ember's pov.
'I'll prepare your favourite dish tonight, make sure you don't miss it. I'm serious this time.'
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.
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
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 v
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
