Everything moved on normally, except for the girls that keep bugging me to talk to the devil
"Come on, help me out" a girl from ss1 is bugging me, it is quite tiring"Why not go talk to him yourself" I asked her"He hardly stops when someone approaches him" she said, that's what they all say"Esther, the principal is calling you" Martha said to me, speaking of Martha she rarely comes to my house"Is anything wrong?" I asked, she just shook her head and left, so I ran along"Come in" the principal said after the first knock, I saw Oliver too, he is here"Sit down" I sat beside Oliver who gave me the sweetest smile, gosh he is perfect, not that devilWhy do I have to compare them"I called you both here to talk to you about the post of prefect" the principal saidCool my dream is coming true"Yes," we both said"I want Oliver as the senior prefect and you the assistant," he said, I wanted to squeal not because of being an assistant, but because I will work with Oliver "Sure sir," he said, how respectful "So I want you both to go and make plans on how to work, and also bring me names of the candidates for other positions" he said "though you will take up the post next term, I think it's better to tell you now" he saidBoth Oliver and I were smiling"Thank you sir" I said and Oliver nodded"You can now go" he said and we both left"So, we are going to be working together" I said as I fiddle my fingers"Looks like it" he said, giving me that killer smile, I refrained from moaning"So when do we meet up to talk about it" I asked"I don't know yet, I will get back at you, for now, let's get back to class" he said and we both walk back to class. I feel like his girlfriend already, but my bubble burst when I saw Chike approaching.Now he have to spoil my happiness, I pretended like I didn't see him coming
I just kept walking along with Oliver, in my mind am getting ready to trash him if he stop meBy trashing, I meant to insult, but to my surprise, he walked past me, that's the first, no actually he has been doing that lately. It started on Monday, he came to school with some bruises He saw me and walked past me, I thought he just didn't see me, he repeated it I thought its a coincidence but it just happened againThat means something is up, but I don't mind am just glad he is off my backWhen I came inside the class my eyes instantly went I've to the devil, it's an involuntary actionIt surprise me that I do it always, he is resting his head on his hand looking bored. I rolled my eyes and went to my seat, I will definitely gist Martha on the latest. "Did you hear the latest" Martha whispered to me, she won't want to alert the teacherLooks like she also has a big news"What's that" I asked, leaning closer"There is going to be a party this Friday" there is always a party but we never go, "It's Emma, that is hosting it, his parents are traveling, and he said it's going to be the last party till they finish waec," she said excitedly, Emma is a senior, very rich background, always host parties, we always hear about the parties on Monday. I and Martha are determined to go one day"So are we going to attend this one" she asked, my parents are going to the village this Friday, so am free, "Yes baby girl we are" I said and her eyes spark up"Good, cause everybody will be there, including Oliver " she said wiggling her eyebrows, I rolled my eyes and we focused on the lesson. Am already thinking of what to wear and how to attract Oliver, I looked at him and he have his attention on the lesson, unlike the devil that looks bored. Uuuuuh why do I keep comparing him with that devil, still I looked at him and he caught me and smiled, and winked, I froze and averted my gaze. "Have you heard about the Friday party?" Oliver asked, he came to m desk, it was almost dismissal "Yea," I said, am stiffed like being held at a gunpoint "If you can make it am thinking if we can get to talk more about the prefect stuff" he said scratching the back of his neck, how cute Oliver is shy"And you know get to know each other more" he said and I was overwhelmed "Sure, I would love that" I said but actually am already picturing him proposing to me. Sits a date then" he said and my eyes widened "not like a date date, it's a date not date like a date" he balled his hand into a fist "what am I saying" he looks frustrated, a huge part of me is happy for making him like this"I understand what you mean" I said he relaxed"Friday then" he said and left but not before giving me his gorgeous smile. On Friday I went to our school field to see him, the boys always practice on Friday. I also saw that devil, he is now among our school footballers, I heard he is good, some say he is the best. I don't mind"So what time do you think the party is starting" I asked Oliver"Just come by 10" he said, he is all sweaty, but I think its sexy, he went back to practice after our little chatAgain I involuntarily search for the devil, and sure he has his eyes on me looking furious, that can only mean one thing, he is going to bully me once he gets back. I gave him a hard stare and he just shook his head and continued his football. "Devil" I muttered then left. When I got home mom and dad are already preparing to leave"Where is Mavis" mom asked"He is still in school, football practice" I said she gave me a nod"We are going, tell him when he gets back, we will call you guys" mom said"Be good and take care of him" dad said and they both left. The only thing on my mind right now is the party"The cats away, the mice will play" I sang as I went to my room to prepare my dressing"Oliver, you will be mesmerized" I said"I strongly advice against this party" the devil warned me, I scoffed
"Good thing I never listen to you" I barked, he shook his head and gave me a pitiful look"The boss will hear about it" he said, oh now he is threatening me"You wouldn't dare, and if you do I will say its a lie, cause I have never done such before" I smiled, I know they will believe me"Just..... Be safe" he said and went into his room, which left me dumbstruck, who is heThe devil never cared for my well-being, but since am too excited to meet Oliver I waved it. At 10 pm I heard a knock on my door, I know it's Martha, mom and dad already called to tell us they reached"So baby girl, are you ready for the best night" I squealed as I opened the door, she looks amazing, wearing a red gown, she is putting on a wig, wow I never thought of thatIt made her appear hot and matured unlike me that have my cornrows"Don't worry I got you covered" she said and brought out another wig, I screamed, damn I love this girl. She redid my makeup, making me hotter, I now look like a superstar with my royal blue gown. "Isn't Mavis coming?" Martha asked as stepped out"Nop, who would want that devil to come" I said and went ahead with Martha on my trailWhen we got to the party its already a blast, we all came with our school ID that's the invitation to know you are our student. "You sure took your time" I heard Oliver's voice, I shut my eyes to gather myself, then opened it "Did you wait long" I turned, I heard Martha laughed at my comeback "Am over there" Martha said and left us both, you see this is the reason I love herWow this is going to be fun, I said as I took the drink Olive offered me, am not such a good girl, my dad sometimes gives me alcohol so it is not a new thing to me, we both started talking, you can say we hit it off immediately. "Do you like the party?" He asked"Hmmmm, too early to say" I said"Then let me make you say," he said and took me to the dance floor, am so happy I think I will melt.We have been dancing for like an hour, though I was holding backThe reason, cause my best dance is twerking, I know it will give me a lot of attention but it will make me appear slutty, so I was just moving around,"Come on dance harder" Oliver prompt me but I couldn't free myself"Am thirsty can you get me something?" I said and Oliver left to get me water, I took a deep breathI search the crowd to see Martha dancing with Mike, he is our classmate,People are busy dancing then it surprised me when I saw some guys smokingNow this isn't what I pictured, I know parties that have smokers ends in a fightNow I remembered the devils warning, suddenly I want to leave"Cupcake" I heard his voice even in all this music, I turn to see the devil"What are you doing here" I said, so he came even when he warned me not to"No time to argue, let's go" he said with a firm voice, does he think am his property"Am not going anywhere" I said
The whole teaching was just a shout to a deaf ear, I kept looking his way, now that I need to see his face he didn't even look at my side. After the break, I tried to go meet him, but he has already gone before I reach him only to come back when the lesson resumed.I decided to approach him after school, he doesn't seem to be in pain but I know the chemistry teacher flogging is out of this world, we even believe he is military.I was so glad when I heard the dismissal bell, I quickly arranged my books I look at his side to see that Martha has already beat me to it, she is talking with the devil. I quickened my pace to meet up"Hello Esther" Oliver called and I stopped"Whatsup," I asked, with a smile, it was just automatic"I have been meaning to ask you something" he asked nervously"What" I said giving him full attention, Martha has already left with the devil, what's the hurry I will meet him at home"It might come as a shock, it has b
How is it possible to have your heart broken twice a day by the same person, when we got home I quickly finished our chores and started the note, luckily Martha took the biology home. I received a call from an unknown number, I instantly knew its Oliver"Hello" I answered sounding as sexy as I can"Hello Esther, is me Oliver" he said, and I smiled"I know" I replied, we started chatting, I dropped my bed and concentrated on my boyfriend, he makes me so happy, I have a feeling that I will kiss him soon."So you even have time to make call" the devil barked"I already finished one" I said blocking the mouth piece of the phone"You are done when I say so" he looks angry, he should know am more angry"Am talking to my boyfriend" I said and he started laughing a throaty laugh, it sounded so rich but I still hate him."Your relationship won't last" he said, what nerves,"Who made you the judge" I barked at him "and what do you
Exam was hectic, Martha and the devil kept hanging out together, while I hang out with Oliver things are definitely good. The students were happy when the exam ended on Friday."We will see again at the end of the year party" Oliver said to me. Our school always organize it and its when our result are given to us"Sure" I said and we both bade goodbyes, I will miss him. Martha already went home, the weather seems like it will rain, so she rushed home, she said her cloth is outside. I think it won't rain, come on its December."Let's go home" the devil said, he is now could but am so used to calling him devil, and the way he treat people its easy to take him as the devil"Sure" I said and we both work home, the rain started as a drizzly, I was surprised but it didn't stop at that, for it started rain cat and dog. The devil and I took off. We used our bags as umbrella. Before we got home we were already drenched, I quick went to the doorsteps, but the d
"She is fine I answered" I answered, I guess I should tell him about Martha."She sort of like you" I asked"Yea I noticed" he replied"Not just normal likeness, as in she loves you and want to date you""Oh" was his reply"So what do you say" I turn to him, we are both lying with our back, then facing the roof, he didn't know I am looking at him"Well tell her if she can say it straight to my face then I will think about it" he said and it shocked me, he normally say they should go eat shit, but he is different with Martha, maybe he loves her too. My eyes welled up with tears, am about to break down"Alright, I will tell her, I have to sleep now" I said, backing him so he won't see me break down"Sure cupcake" he said then left my room, I started crying, I don't know why it hurts me, I cried to sleep that night.When woke up, its saturday, so we did all our duties, I tried to be as happy as I get, and with him alw
Am standing in the middle of the road but it felt like the middle of nowhere, but it's the road back home, just a few feet away from the road that leads to Martha's house. Am stuck with tears on my eyes cause I jut received the biggest news of the century"He have agreed to date me" that's what Martha told me before we went our separate ways. I can't still figure out why I feel bad about it, making it more frustrating. The devil is still at practice. I came home by God grace"So you accept her" I asked him as he drinks his tea"You mean Martha" he smiled "yea, I decided to give her a chance" he said"Oh, why her, lots of girls have come your way, why her" I asked, am curious to know, he shrugged"Shes beautiful, smart, strong pretty much that" he answered, I know he meant emotionally strong.I went to my room that night with heavy heart, I brought gift close to me like I do every night."Hey gift, I wish you can help me out" I said to t
When I woke up this morning he's already gone, I prepared quickly so I will meet up, luckily I arrived early, student haven't even arrived much, so I went inside our class to stay. What I saw will hunt me forever. Martha and the devil was kissing."What" I screamed and they broke the kiss"Hi Esther" Martha said shyly, the devil just smiled"Cupcake" he said, I left them both in anger, more angry that I love him and can't tell him, I ran to the old lab, its not in use so nobody will find me there.I cried so much I even lost track of time, I lost the strength to go back, mainly I don't want to face him."Who do we have here" I heard Chike voice, they are now getting ready for their waec. Yea I forgot to say am now the Assistant prefect, Oliver the prefect. Am not enjoying it as I thought. Its even stressful"What do you want" I have no strength."Does your brother knows you are here" he asked I didn't reply "men,
I was walking home like a leaving corpse, what have I done, I shouldn't have brought it up, now I might loose my best friend, worse am still only a sister to my devil."Why do you always make me worry" I heard him say, he look all sweaty"How do you mean" I asked"I was almost home when I notice you weren't behind me, I have to rush back" he said breathing heavily"Am sorry" how can I stop loving you when he keeps doing this that warms my heart, I wish I can kiss him and tell him how much I love him, but I can't."Come on let's go home" he smiled at me, and we both walked home, yet again he made me forgot all my worries.The whole holiday, Martha kept begging, but he made it clear he have no feelings for her, that he can only be her friend, she accepted. When he noticed that Martha is keeping me at arms length and how it affects me, he tried to make peace with us"Do you girls know what I call girls that ruin their friendshi
