Chapter 2

  • I woke up by 10:00 AM on Saturday,my mum gave me permission to rest on Saturday only,I actually woke up because my brother and probably his friends were disturbing my peace with their video games.
  • I walked to his room,ready to unleash my anger for ruining my beauty sleep.
  • "Nero,what's your problem na?,I cannot have peace again in my mother's house abi"I asked after barging into his room without knocking. I was taken aback by who I saw in my brother's room,Jace Walker-he was light skinned,he had a tall,lean but athletic structure which made him extremely hot and sexy making 95% of D.I.S girls gush over him and his physique was the major reason he was made sports prefect in my school and he was also smart,that counted too,he had an oval face with a pointed note and those hazel eyes arrrgh,making him so damn cute,I could stare into those eyes all day,anyways he is my brother's bestfriend and also my classmate who I had a crush on sometime ago but it died off when I realized he was full-time player and I shouldn't fantasize about some boy who flirts with most girls of D.I.S because he is attractive.
  • "Hiiiii,I didn't know you were here,when did you come?? Nevermind where is Nero??"I stuttered.
  • "Oh,he is in the bathroom"Jace replied.
  • "Okay"I said walking away.
  • "Michelle"He called.
  • "Yeah"I said
  • "You look beautiful with your morning face"He complimented
  • "Thanks"I replied while blushing.
  • I walked speedily to my room and went straight to the mirror,I wanted to know if he was making fun of me because I know how boys can be or he was actually right,well I couldn't decide if he was right or not,I spent fifteen minutes staring at my face in the mirror and thinking about his compliment.
  • "Jeez,stop,is just a compliment,stop blushing so hard"Said my inner voice.
  • "What??!!,am not blushing"I said and quickly left my room to tidy the house .
  • After tidying up the house and taking a bath,I settled down to do my literature assignment which ended shortly because of the door bell.
  • "Is Mich at home?"Olivia asked.
  • "Yes, where else will she be?? You know she doesn't go out and why are you here sef??,You just disturbed my game"Mason replied rudely.
  • "I came to see my boyfriend mtchw and who asked you if I know she doesn't go out or not??!!Oga is Mich at home??!!Oversabi"Olivia snapped eyeing him from head to toe.
  • Did I forget to mention that my brother is rude and He and Olivia do not agree at all,they literally hate each other. Jace and I hurried downstairs before they finish each other with hurtful comebacks.
  • "Now Oli Sweetheart,dont stress your sweet voice or waste your saliva on him,I know he is annoying don't mind him"Jace intervened.
  • "Olivia baby,hotcake you are looking hot today o!!"I hailed her while on our way to my room.
  • I closed my door and brought my books out so Oli and I could study.
  • "You didn't tell me Jace was here na"Olivia said
  • "Ah ah,I didn't think it would be important if I told you that one "I replied.
  • "Anyways,let's do this literature assignment and forget about Mr Cute before Mr John slaughter us on Monday"She said.
  • "Thank God,you know"I giggled.
  • ****
  • "Good morning Sir"We greeted Principal Paul after he walked into our class with a new girl.
  • "She seems nice"I whispered to Olivia.
  • "I know right"Olivia whispered yelled to me.
  • "So class,as you can see,with me here is a new student"Principal addressed us.
  • "I am leaving now, introduce yourself to your new classmates and try to fit in"Principal said to the new girl in a friendly manner.
  • The principal left the class and everyone was trying to introduce themselves to her.Daniel,our class prefect was the first to speak up first.
  • "Hi,I'm Daniel,the prefect of this class,Welcome to SS3 Art class"He addressed her.
  • "I'm Ifeyinwa Okorie,Nice to meet you all"She said while wearing a wide smile.
  • Ifeyinwa was chocolate skinned,of average heights and seemed to have a happy-go-lucky nature,she was also beautiful.
  • Everybody was still introducing themselves when our form mistress,Miss Chioma walked into our class.
  • "I heard we have a new student"She said.
  • "Yes ma!!We do"We all replied her
  • "Okay,good where is she??"She asked
  • Ifeyinwa stood up with her backpack and introduced herself,Miss Chioma assigned her a seat with Tobi as her seatmate whose seat was next to us.
  • "Hi,I'm Olivia and this is Michelle,I hope you are fitting in perfectly"Olivia introduced ourselves to her.
  • "Yes,I'm fitting in quite well,Thank you"She replied while smiling.
  • "I think we all are going to be good friends"Olivia whispered to me.
  • It was time for break,we showed Ifeyinwa the places in the school and we headed for the cafeteria.
  • "This school is nice,I like it"Ifeyinwa said to us.
  • "I know right,you know it is one of the best schools in Asaba"Olivia said.
  • I have been quiet for unknown reasons since we finished showing her around the school, SS3 Science boys were walking towards us with Jace along with them.For some reasons I seemed happy to see him
  • "You definitely still have a crush on him"My subconscious said.
  • "Hell no"I said aloud fighting back that thought.
  • "Are you okay"Jace asked bringing me back to reality.
  • "Emmm...yeees I am,how are you??"I replied while stuttering the whole time.
  • "Okay then,you must be the new girl,nice to meet you, I'm Jace from SS3 Science class"He introduced himself to Ifeyinwa.
  • "I'm Ifeyinwa......"She blushed.
  • She was cut short by the next statement from Jace.
  • "Nice name for an attractive girl,it suits you"Jace remarked.
  • He winked at her and walked away with his hands in his pocket leaving her looking like a red tomatoe.
  • "He is so cute,why am I not in science class sef"She said more like a statement than a question.
  • "You are not serious"Olivia chuckled.
  • I rolled my eyes and walked away,I didn't want to be suffocated by Jace's talk all over.
  • "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Olivia!!!!!"Everybody screamed as soon as Olivia walked into the class.
  • "Is today my birthday ??"She asked with an expression of surprise and feigning forgetfulness.
  • "Don't mind me joor,awwwn thanks you guys,you all remembered muaaah!!"She said blowing kisses in the air to us.
  • "Lest I forget, I'm holding a birthday party/pool party by 2:30PM to celebrate so you all are invited"She screamed.
  • "Osheeey,birthday girl"Ifeyinwa said hailing her.
  • "I can't wait to eat cake "I said laughing
  • "You and food sef"Olivia replied while laughing.
  • "Ehn,leave it "I giggled.
  • Friday was the perfect day for her party because we close from school every Friday by 1:30 PM.When I got home I took my bath and relaxed alittle while preparing the speech to tell my mum about my outing although that won't be a problem since my brother is going to the party so I will be allowed to go as well.
  • I wore a simple red short gown with sleet ends and a jean jacket then wore my favorite sandals,I took my swimsuit along with a scarf.After dressing up, I headed to my mum's room.
  • I knocked on my mum's room to inform her of my outing,she just got back from work.
  • "Good evening Mummy"I greeted her
  • "Good evening,this one you are dressed,where are you going to?"She asked accessing me.
  • "Well,mum, Olivia is holding a party to celebrate her birthday so I came to ask for permission,you can call her parents if you want to and also Nero(My brother's middle name)is going so...."I said explaining to her.
  • "Okay then,you can go "She replied granting me permission.
  • "Thanks so much Mum"I thanked her while leaving her room to inform Olivia that am coming to the party.
  • I wouldn't want to be that Best friend who misses her bestie's birthday party.My brother was already ready so we left the house quite early before my mum changes her mind.
  • We got to Olivia's house,it was a big mansion with tiled fence and electric barb wire on it,her parents are rich so they are worth it.Everybody had arrived at her house,some were downstairs in the sitting room,some were in the pool area doing different activities,there was music,drinks and of course cake,her parents wasn't around for the night party,they had to travel for an important meeting,they had celebrated with her in the morning .I went straight to Olivia's room leaving my brother with his friends,I knocked the door twice but no response,I could hear some noise,I was scared so I barged into the room.
  • "Biiiirthday girl...are you okay"I asked but my statement was cut short by what I saw.
  • She was making out with a guy from Commercial class,I quickly apologized when it was dawned on me I ruined their moment.
  • "I'm sorry I barged in,I was worried"I apologized.
  • "Emm..is okay Mich,this is Kevin"She replied feeling awkward.
  • He left shortly after she introduced him to me.There was an awkward silence which lasted for some minutes,I had to break the silence.
  • "So Kevin uh?You are making out on your birthday,bad girl!!"I said jokingly.
  • "Nooo,we don't have a thing together,we just helped each other out"She explained.
  • "Naso,abeg let's go downstairs joor,the host of the party is keeping herself busy while her guests are bored as hell "I replied jokingly.
  • As soon we got downstairs,Emmanuella led a loud cheer to welcome Birthday girl, Olivia was looking breathtaking,she had makeup on with her hair styled into a bun,she wore a silver short gown with glass heels and a sash with Birthday Girl inscribed on it.
  • Ifeyinwa gathered us around and brought up the idea of playing Spin The Bottle for those interested,I wasn't too comfortable with this idea but I had no choice,so we gathered around and started playing.
  • Daniel was the first to spin the bottle,it landed facing Kim,a girl from Science class.
  • "Truth or Dare?"Daniel asked.
  • "Truth"She grinned.
  • "What is the nastiest thing you have done?"He asked while smiling mischievously the whole time.
  • "I made out in church with a guy"She answered nervously.
  • Her reply got different kind of reactions,I was surprised at the guts she had,Emmanuella was the first to speak.
  • "Hmm,you get mind o"Nuella raising her thumb hailing her.
  • Kim spinned the bottle and it landed towards the direction of Ifeyinwa,she was asked to choose Truth or Dare,she picked Truth.
  • "Do you have a crush in our school,if Yes who is he?"Kim asked.
  • "Haba,Kim one question at a time na,do you want to finish the girl"Tobi complained feigning annoyance.
  • They were about to argue when Ifeyinwa intervened and answered the question.
  • "Guys,no need to argue,I'm okay with the questions,Yes,I do have a crush in our school"Ifeyinwa said half blushing.
  • "My crush is Jace"She finally confessed blushing hard after a while of suspense.
  • After her confession,I didn't know whether to be angry, sad or happy for her as a friend,I wasn't sure of the emotion to feel.The game continued with different confessions made and dangerous dares like lap dances, drinking alcohol,showing parts of your body etc.
  • All these while I always picked Truth to be on the safer side and now the bottle was spinned again and it landed towards my direction,I was asked by Olivia to pick Truth or Dare,I choose Truth as usual but I got alot of complains from my classmates.
  • "Michy,don't make this game boring na,is it only truth truth,you will always pick,choose Dare joore"Phillip complained.
  • My classmates supported him and I had to pick Dare and things were about to go down.
  • "So Mich baby,I dare you....."Olivia said smiling mischievously and speaking with her eyebrows. I was wondering what she was up to but I knew she was going to do something horrible.
  • "To do what na"I snapped at her.
  • "To kiss the guy you have a crush on"She finally said knowing fully well that will be an impossible task.
  • Olivia happens to be the only one who knows about my ex-crush on Jace and she was about to bring that feeling back but I wasn't going to let that happen based on the fact that Ifeyinwa just confessed her feelings for Jace,I wouldn't want to look like a bad friend in front of everybody so I was forced to do something I was going to regret.
  • I stood up and walked towards the direction of Tobi who was sitting close to Jace,He(Jace) actually thought I was walking towards him,I could see the happiness in his eyes but I couldn't help but wonder why.
  • I kissed Tobi,the worst mistake I have ever made which was going to cause a lot of problems later on.
