2024-10-29 19:42:56I pulled my hoodie over my head to prevent getting soaked from the rain. I could not remember the last time I felt so nervous. Okay so maybe I did but it had been a while anyway. I arrived at the address Katherine texted me and looked around. The gallery was across the street so I waited for a break in traffic to cross the road. Once I was sure it was free, I stepped unto the road and halfway across was when the car appeared seemingly from nowhere. I didn’t have time to react or think. It all happened too fast.
The car horn was deafening. It screeched to a halt

“I think this one looks a lot like you, I mean the facial structure is almost identical, what do you think?” Katherine pointed at the monkey in the middle that had its hands crossed as it looked to the side.“No, I think that expression definitely matches yours more.” I nudged her in the shoulder and she burst into laughter.

Cindy ForbesAfter I finished the movie and there was still no sign of Ethan, I decided it was time to leave. I stood and picked up my bag. My gaze went to the red lingerie that lay on the floor, it seemed to mock me but I was determined not to jump into any conclusions before I got an explanation.

My finger hovered over my phone screen as I had an internal debate on whether or not to send a particular message to a certain someone. Was it worth it? Did I need to involve myself in something that probably wasn’t my business?I cringed at the memory of the young girl in Ethan’s car two days ago. She had called him 'baby'. Even if I wanted to brush her presence off as them being related, no sister calls her brother baby right? Especially when she was the younger one. The whole thing seemed off to me. I wondered if I should contact Cindy or not? Did

I realized Ricky was right. My life was finally starting to take shape and Donny showing up would only throw into havoc once again. Especially, if he knew or even suspected that I had ratted him out to the police. I suddenly realized something. “Ricky, have you by any chance been following me?” I asked carefully. “What? No. I only arri

When the movie was over and the lights came back on, we got up to leave. I let Katherine walk ahead of me when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I stopped in the middle of the aisle and felt someone bump into me from behind but when I turned, people still walked about and no one stopped to acknowledge it. I figured my abrupt halt caused the collision so I kept moving. When we got out of the viewing room, I tossed the empty popcorn pack and cans into the bin.“That movie was amazing, guys!” Laura squealed.

I could not believe that what started as a great day ended in such a manner. Katherine did not even look at me when we left the cinema. We waited quietly for the bus to arrive and she got on the one headed in her direction. Just before she left, I gently took her hand in mine.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.“So am I,” she si

The man swore as he straightened his clothes then left. I held together what was left of my skirt and turned away from the guy. “Thanks but you can leave now.” The experience sobered me up a bit. I still felt hazy but I could speak clearly again. He took a step forward and the moonlight cast shadows around his face. I only saw the outline cl

It was a couple of weeks before our final exams and we studied like crazy. But of course, Idris studied more than anyone else. That guy was like a machine when it came to studies while the rest of us were mere mortals. I had convinced Laura to tutor me in mathematics. It was a subject we all studied despite our different departments at school. It was also the bane of my existence. Laura and I sat on the floor in the sitting room with our mathematics textbooks laid out before us.

I did not know a lot of guys like Michael. Okay, so I did not know a lot of guys, period. Anyway, I had not felt as comfortable around a guy as I did around him. However, the day I saw a movie at the cinema with Michael and his friends, it had all started great until he went to the bathroom and returned agitated. I recalled the uneasy look in his eyes even though he tried to act like everything was okay. I remembered the shock I felt when he grabbed my arm. It made me wonder if there were other sides to him that I had not seen. Well, I guessed everyone had a side to them that other people did

I had only spent a couple of days at my new secondary school but one thing I was sure of was that it was very different from my former school. Everyone here seemed to know each other from somewhere. If it was not kindergarten, it was a primary school, church or they were family friends. I was a stranger in a new place with zero ideas of how I was supposed to survive the new term of school. I was in junior secondary school so you could imagine how it felt to be the new student. People stared when I walked past and they stared some more when we were in class together.

I was livid as I took Kiki out of the hotel and hailed a cab. The cab driver gave us a curious look but didn’t ask any questions. We must have looked a sight to behold. I was furious and it was written plain as day on my face while Kiki was in a wet bathrobe with fear in her expression. I gave the cab driver the address and he drove off. We didn’t speak until we got home and even then I could barely look at her without remembering the scene at the hotel. I did not understand where my innocent 13-year old sister had gone and who this person was in her place. “Caleb,” she whispered with a downcast gaze as her eyes grew misty.“What?” I snapped.“I’m sorry.”“Sorry doesn’t cut it just yet. You have a lot of explaining to do so you better start right now before I lose my temper any further. Tell me how you two met.”“At my friend’s brother’s party.”“Which friend is that?”“Coco, you don’t know her.”“Who is her brother?”“Her brother, Cole is a model, a popular one. Her brother threw a

The night I left town to be out of Donny’s sights was a night I cannot forget in a hurry. Besides, unintentionally scaring Michael and hanging around dark corners of the neighbourhood, I was also afraid of what could happen to me. Coming into town was a risk I had to take for Michael’s sake, especially since I learned that Donny was planning to build up his crime empire again. I had served Donny for several years but I was not sure if my life was safe. After all, I had seen him do many scary things. He had killed before, I saw it happen once. He did not pull the trigger himself but
