Forbidden Addiction 1.Pilot.
It was the last day of high school. I was huddled at the corner of the now big but empty class. My classmates were going in and out with their luggage headed home. Memories of the last four years enveloped my mind and left me in a stupor. I had spent most of my teenage years here and it all came down to one major examination which would ultimately decide my future. That didn't feel too good but the system was in the works and there's nothing I could do about it.It was an all girls boarding school. As you can imagine, those four years were full of drama and memorable moments. Being bi-sexual didn't bond too well in the conservative African environment that we live in. It was chalked up to sexual immorality and at best, just teenage hormones. I think being in a girls boarding school did nothing to ease that and if anything just amplified the so-called hormones.The school is one of the best in the country with a selection of the best performed girls from all over the country amounting

Like any other high school, once the awkwardness of the new environment and new people is out of the way, people begin forming friendship cliques. I for one, don't know where I belong in this mess because I'm reserved about forming deep friendship bonds. To be honest, I think I'm traumatized by a loss that happened in my life quite recently . Just before I joined high school, one of the closest people in my life, my bestfriend passed away. The loss was devastating and I am not ready to replace her when it has not even been an year.I stick to basic conversations with my desk mate, Tory. She is really kind and funny. She has all these wild stories that make me laugh.We help each other out during classes and she let's me borrow her notes when I day dream about Rie and forget about paying attention in class. Rie seats on the row on my left, a few desks infront of me therefore I can always see her.I love seeing her talk to her deskmate and laugh and I think it's the reason I strategically

After the incident during lunch, I seem to have an even more terrible time concentrating in class. I somehow can't believe she talked to me and also how awkward I was. Tory seems to notice the mood I am in and she promises to let me borrow her notes. I'm lucky to have her as a deskmate because there's no way I'm getting through this school term in this state.I remember my parent:s advise when they dropped me off at school and their expectations and I realize that I have to do better. I tuck our golden conversation at the back of my mind and I'm somehow able to get through the class and even answer a question.I'm so relieved when the bell rings to mark the end of the class."Hey, don't forget to attend the geography group discussion after 4 o'clock tea." Tory is quick to remind me which is good because I'd almost forgotten about it.I rush to the dining hall to take my tea then get back to class, pick my books and proceed to the study hall. Upon getting there, I realize that I'm early
Forbidden Addiction Fourth.
This might have simply been the best day of my life. I was in high spirits after supper and Tory mentioned it. After carrying Rie's books, I dropped them at her desk and despite the little voice warning me, I snooped around a bit. Her desk is organized save for a few sticky notes and pens here and there. She has a slightly loopy handwriting that's adorable. I dropped the books on top of her desk when her deskmate came in and pretended to have dropped my pen. Tory has been nagging me all through night preps to tell her what was making me this happy. I was so glad when the teacher on duty insisted on silence and personal studies until bedtime that way I could avoid her questioning glare. When the bell rang to go to the dorm area. I picked my diary and pen and rushed out before Tory could escape her conversation with Olive. Our dormitory area has several buildings which are divided according to school years to avoid incidences of bullying. I was assigned to one of the few dormitories w
Forbidden Addiction Fifth.
It's on a Saturday, the day we've all looked forward to because we're all going to watch a movie. The week has been boring save for that day Rie spoke to me. We have been on the normal class routine but I have improved on my concentration. I managed to score a really good mark in a random test in geography which is to say a lot because I don't really like geography.Today, as opposed to all other days, we get to sleep in for an extra two hours which honestly feels like heaven because which teenager doesn't like good old sleep? After our morning routine, we attend morning hour preps to around 11a.m then do communal cleaning all over the school.Our class was allocated to clean one of the first year dormitories and I'm excited because Rie, a few other girls and me have the windows. I know there's nothing interesting about cleaning windows but a girl who has crush doesn't care what she has to do to get close to her, including cleaning a dozen windows."Hey, I'm on window duty with you."

I rub my eyes for the tenth time this lesson. I've been struggling to stay awake ever since our chemistry lesson started. I mean, who fixes a chemistry lesson in the afternoon anyway. All I know is they are discussing something about carbon and the textbook before me keeps swimming in and out of my vision.We have an evening assembly before our four O'clock tea which I'm not looking forward to because it entails a school run. I hate any sort of physical activity that involves using too much energy, sweating or panting but I know there's no way to escape this.Apparently the teacher feels the boredom too because he terminates the class prematurely and assigns some exercise to be done before the next class. I lay my head on my desk to take a nap before the four O'clock bell."You should try to sleep more during the night like a normal person,"Tory exclaims as she hooks her hand through mine. We're walking down the stairs, towards the assembly ground. No, we're actually squeezing through

To be honest,I’m not even sure why I am crying.I have been bawling my eyes out for the last ten minutes.Tory has been rubbing my back,I guess she ran out of things to tell me after the first five minutes.She actually thought that I seriously injured my hand during the fall.“You should go take your tea.”I urge her because she might stay with me the whole time.“Are you sure?I don’t want to leave you alone.” The concern in her eyes makes me want to cry some more.“I’m okay.Besides,I don’t think I want to go anywhere right now so you should not miss your tea.”I’m sure my face is puffy from all that crying.The rest of my classmates are already coming back to class since they went earlier.“I had heard rumours about Lulu from the second years in the dormitory.I thought they were just that.”one of my classmates Amber says.Amber is very social and extroverted.She has friends even in the senior year.One of the perks of that is she gets to know everything even before it happens and also gets
