I was surprised at how much I looked forward to seeing her. I didn’t turn around just yet and remained where I was as I tried to decide whether to just leave or say hello. I decided to at least say something but when I turned to look for her, she was gone.

"Honey, are you sure it's him?"

My mom asked when I returned to the room. She referred to the

    I didn't tell her anything about that night because I didn’t want her opinion of me to change but her dad knew some of the stories behind that night. I felt like I owed it to Dr Meyers to tell him what happened after how much he had helped me. I didn't want him to be deceived or keep information from him in case it came back to bite me in the future.I was worried that it would somehow get out in the public that I was once an employee of Donny's and the Police would come looking for me. Although I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. I'd even gotten rid of the weap

    “Hold on, here's a quick one. You know what this means guys, it’s next week Friday, who’s going to be there?” Ayo drew our attention back to his gig. “What exactly are you performing for this time?” Idris asked. “There’s a fundraiser and a couple of bands and artists were invited.”

    We walked into the hotel lobby where Laura and Idris waited. I couldn’t help but glance around the reflective walls-wow I looked amazing if I do say so myself- and the colourful paintings that seemed to give off a life of their own. Laura saw us first, as she walked toward us her heels clicked sharply on the floor. Idris soon followed closely behind. “Well, look at you!” I grinned as she spun around slowly for us to be awed by her silk evening gown. It draped nicely on her body and flowed down like a midnight blue waterfall.

    Most of the unexpected people at fundraiser had set me on edge but I couldn’t miss it when Ayo and his band came on stage to perform. There was a palpable change in the atmosphere of the room and it suddenly became lively. It was always a rewarding experience to watch him in his element as he pretty much owned the stage within those moments he performed. There was a short break in between performances so we walked around the hall to mingle and grab some refreshments. I picked up a mini platter of grilled chicken with sauce and couldn’t help but take a mome

    Cindy ForbesTwo days had gone by and Ethan hadn’t so much as texted me since the fundraiser party. I couldn’t believe how he made me seem like a fool in front of Michael and Katherine. I had to admit, she was pretty good-looking and he had looked stunning dressed in a suit but that wasn’t the point.

    I 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.

    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.
