> * To be an anomaly, you have to act like one. * **** * Happy 20 chapters, guys! * ------ Mira. ------- Detention was definitely not something loved by a lot of people, me included. The thought of being locked in a room alone frightens me a whole lot. It would have been better if I was in my room all day, than in a school library which feels kind of creepy being left alone in it. The library was very big, big enough to accommodate two hundred readers comfortably. It had ten long rows of shelves in total filled with different books ranging from Historical fiction to fantasy romance and academic books. I'd always loved it, yeah, as the peace and quietness fits my spirit a lot but I definitely do not like it alone here. “ You know one thing we have in common, Miranda? ” Jose's voice rang in my head again as memories of our times together in this library flashed through my mind. “ What? ” “ You love books as much as I do. ” Indeed, I still haven't been able to

> * You are the creator of your own destiny. * **** ----- Mira. ------ Friday, It's the final day of my detention and I couldn't be happier, seeing how much I have achieved. I've been able to not only cover lots of topics in my core subjects, but I've also been able to get several decent night's sleep. I couldn't evade the sadness that befell me whenever I thought of how much I'd missed for being absent from classes for almost two weeks, but on a second note. I couldn't actually do anything to change that, can I? With that in mind I packed my belongings and headed outside the library. I'd just stepped out when the guard approached me with a smile. “ You are really a strong girl and I'm super proud of how hardworking and disciplined you are. Keep working on it, girl. The sky is your starting point. ” I'd just started to say, “ Thank you. ” when he simply patted my shoulders and disappeared. I had a thousand and one thoughts going through my head as I walked along the sc

>* It's the passion inside you that keeps you going. *------- Joseph. --------Saturday,Though it's still very early, I'd started making preparations for my girlfriend's arrival, later today. I'd been super ecstatic when she mentioned that she'd love to pay me a visit, it was something I was expecting given how private and closed she was. And sometimes her actions made me wonder if what she felt for me was as deep as my feelings for her, but her words proved so, didn't it?It still feels surreal that the one and only Queen Bee of our prestigious highschool is my girlfriend, it's like a dream come true and I'd I'll never cease being grateful to have her in my life. If one thing, I wish I always find reasons to be grateful and always remain happy and ecstatic. I changed into matching, Jumper and pants after taking a shower. They were both blue, which was Vera's favorite color. I'd intentional picked that color to surprise her. I just hope she notices though and everything go

> * Courage is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. * **** ------ Mira. ------ Though I'd been missing Jose a whole lot, I definitely wasn't expecting to see him at the restaurant earlier. It honestly took a lot of self control and maturity to actually act professional around him, given how close and playful we once were. Just when I thought it was all over, I had to slip! Gosh! I'm glad he caught me just in time, before I could embarrass myself in front of the other customers. His fast reflexes saved the day and am super grateful for that. I headed back to the orphanage as soon as my shift ended three hours later. I'm glad I had a short shift today as I was becoming too exhausted to stand. I took a quick shower after getting back to my room and changed into my pink pajamas, which were my favorite given how comfy they were. I grabbed my cell from the nightstand and turned it on. I logged into my social media account as soon as i

>* As long as you have air in your lungs, you still have the opportunity to live out your dreams. *****------ Mira. -------Monday,As I freshened up I thought of how special today was, not only because I will finally be resuming back to school today, but also because Jose will be resuming too.I couldn't help but wonder how the day would turn out. Especially when it's been a while since I've actually seen him. We met on Saturday, but that still doesn't count given how close we once were. I found it funny how we've become practically strangers, despite our closeness just months ago.Then we'd be unable to stay without talking to each other as every moment was spent either talking or gisting.I could still very well recall the late night chats, early morning chats and leisure time chats. It had always been beautiful and blissful. I'd never for once felt lonely as I'd always got company and there's also a stable shoulder to cry on, whenever I needed it. Jose had always been cari

> * Your existence is not by accident, it has so much meaning. * ****------ Joseph. ------ Monday, I stumbled on the silver necklace with a heart shaped pendant that I had purchased along with Miranda's months ago, on our fifth year friendship anniversary. We'd sat by the beach holding hands and had exchanged promises and vows. I could still recall Mira's words that very day. “ You are my light in darkness, Jose. I was an orphan who had no sense of purpose and direction. The Lord had brought you into my life and you'd completely changed the narration. ” “ You'd shaped me into this confident girl I am today. Oftentimes, Jose. I wonder what I'd have done to deserve a best friend like you in my life. Despite we not being blood related, you and Nanny are the only family I have and need. ” “ I'd never keep blessing the day I met you, my priceless gem. The Creator's best gift to me. He'd known I needed a friend, but not only did he give me that, he also added more by givin

> * If you want to succeed as badly as you want to breathe. Then you'll be successful. * ***** ----- Mira. ------ I received a call from Nanny before I left for school that morning. She'd been worried about me as always and had reminded me to focus solely on my studies. The hidden meaning behind her words had been very clear and I couldn't help but sigh when the call ended. How could I not care about him? I've tried a lot of times to get thoughts of him out my mind, but failed. How could I really? Especially when I'd spent over five years of my life with him? How could I? I sometimes wish, forgetting about him was as easy as blowing catarrh, but how could I forget about someone who means so much to me? Sighing, I turned off my phone and put it back in the drawer. Unlike most students in my school, I tend to refrain from taking my phone to class as I see it as a form of distraction. I strapped my backpack as I headed out of my room. I branched at Mother's office to inform her

> * It's better to have a short life doing what you love, than a long life spent in a miserable way. — Author_Queenebunoluwa15* **** ---- Joseph. ----- I arrived at school, just in time to see Vera alighting from her car. I picked up my backpack and alighted from the car after which I bade my driver goodbye. He nodded, wished me a great day ahead and made a u-turn. “ Hey, Vee. ” I waved at her, I didn't miss the smile that bloomed on her face as she walked bristly towards me. “ Hi, Joe. ” She replied, embracing me. “ You are looking more beautiful today. ” I added, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ears. “ Really? Thanks. ” She giggled. “ You look better than usual too. ” “ Thanks. ” I smiled, feeling super glad she'd noticed. “ Let's head in, shall we? ” I held my hands towards her. “ Sure. ” she took my hand as we walked ahead. We were about to enter the school gate when the sound of a car parking made us pause. We stared back to see a black

> * Never stop asking why. * **** ----- Joseph. ----- The announcement came both as a shock and a surprise to me, as I wasn't expecting it. It'd never happened before. I wasn't being prejudiced, I just kind of felt uncomfortable with this agreement. “ I hate that we always have to crash with those two. It's annoying! ” Vera whined as we headed to the arts department which was at the far end of the hallway. “ There's nothing we can do about it. Can we? ” “ You are right. ” She sighed, helplessly. Our appearance at the class caused a stir as always. I looked over at Mira's table and saw her seated with Evelyn. They were having a conversation, mostly with their gazes. She raised up her head at the moment and our eyes met. But as always, she was quick to look away. My eyes scrolled through the class and landed on an empty seat behind Miranda. Therefore, we decided to sit there. I noticed that Miranda shifted uncomfortably in her seat as soon as we got settled and

> * Success doesn't mean competing against other people, it simply means winning against your past self. * **** ------ Mira. ------ My heart thumped, the moment I heard my name. How's that possible? How? Why would I be nominated to represent my department when my classmates don't even like me? Why? I found myself wondering. Was it intentional? Did they do that to mock me or what? And for what reason, exactly? What? “ Miranda Edison. ” I stood up at the sound of my name. “ Miss. ” “ Please step out now, the competition will be commencing in a minute. ” “ Alright, Miss. ” I turned to Evielyn for some encouragement and as always she didn't disappoint. “ You can do it, Miranda. ” “ Thanks. ” I replied with a small smile, as I made my way to the front of the class and faced them. My palms became sweaty all of a sudden, public speaking was something I wasn't a big fan of and always strove to avoid at all costs. But now? I stared at my classmates and saw the mockin
