Daniel
I decided to stroll through my father's estate. Everyone there knows me as the son to the land lord so I'm a respected person there
I took a walk round the neighborhood and got hi's from tenants. After about half an hour, I decided to go back home. As I strolled towards where I parked my car, I saw a car drive in.
I didn't actually care but I had to look again because I saw a black person.
Two black people.
I stared intently and noticed it was that girl in class and the guy must be her elder brother because dad said the man moved in with his family.
As if the girl knew I was staring at her, she looked back. Our eyes met, she gently looked away and faced the front door of the house she was standing
I continued to look at her, wondering how I would even make her my friend. I would just approach her in school and say "hey I'm Daniel, be my friend. If possible, love me so my dad can gain access to your dad's company"
I scoffed loudly
Me: hilarious
I was looking at her absentmindedly, she looked back again and quickly looked away. I chuckled sarcastically and went to my car. I got in and drove out of the estate, I'm going straight home. Today's not good for me at all
Unugwa
Demi laughed so hard that Anibe and I stared at each other.
Is this lady normal? She has been talking too much and anything I utter, she laughs.
She's so weird
Demi: that was so funny. I can't believe Anibe had a lair in the basement
Me: most guys do
Demi: really
Anibe: yeah. Anyway Demi, can we talk alone?
He held her hand and squeezed it.
Hmm, play boy's game is about to start.
Me: Demi, I'll go outside for some fresh air.
Demi: okay dear. Be careful
I nodded and smiled.
I left the dining cause that's where we were. I hurried outside and heaved a deep sigh
Me: what a weird lady
I moved to the car and leaned on it. I turned my music on and wore one ear plug.
Just then I heard my name with a squeal
I looked back and saw Loretta still in her uniform
Me: Loretta
I ran to her
Me: hi
Loretta: hi dear. What are you doing here?
Me: I accompanied someone. Is this where you live?
Loretta: nah, I came to give someone her book. You know that girl in class, with light eyes?
Me: not really
Loretta: oh, anyway she lives here and it's her book I wanna return
Me: why are you still in your uniform?
Loretta: oh Andy and I went out immediately after school. I haven't gone home
I looked to the house, I don't think Anibe would come out anytime soon
Me: let me follow you to the girl's house
Loretta: great
We began to walk slowly and quietly. I was still listening to my music
Loretta: do you know Daniel's father owns this estate?
Me: really?
Loretta: yeah. And it is rumoured that he built it in two weeks
Me: hmmm, that's nice
Loretta: do you know Daniel is a boxer?
Me: I don't think I know. So he's a boxer? Wow, that explains his body
Loretta: so muscular. I once had a crush on him.
I looked at her with amazement in my eyes
Me: really?
Loretta: yeah
Me: so what happened?
Loretta: I decided not to betray Andy.
Me: oh I get it
I wonder why those two hate each other so much. Could it be their parents?
Me: how about their parents? Are they aware that their children hate each other?
Loretta: of course they are. Who do you think initiated the hatred. Andy's father is Daniel's father's biggest rival. Their companies are always competing with each other. Whenever a new company comes, they each want to partner with it. But Andy's father is the most successful, that's why Daniel's father hates him more
Me: I never knew business could be that ugly
I think we already reached the girl's house because she climbed a facade and rang a door bell
Shortly after, the door opened
Loretta: hello Ms, is Claire back yet?
Lady: yes any problem?
She brought out the book
Loretta: hand this over to her please
Then a voice came from inside. I suppose it's Claire's
Claire: I heard my name, who is it mom?
Lady: your school mate I guess. And a black girl?
Claire: black girl?
She rushed outside
Claire: OMG
Loretta: hi Claire, I came to return your book
Claire: and you came with Unugwa
She smiled at me and I smiled back. She pronounced my name well, like she's my tribe
Loretta: yes and we're going now. Bye
Claire: what? No, not yet.
She faced me
Claire: you came to my house for the very first time. I have to entertain you. First impression matters a lot
Loretta: she's very busy and really have to get going. Isn't it?
She asked me and I smiled
Me: come on Loretta, I know I'm busy but she's right, I'm here for the first time so it will be nice to stay for a few minutes
Claire: Yay! Come inside
She held my hand and pulled me inside, I didn't even realize her mom was no longer outside. Loretta followed inside and we sat on her cushion
Claire: do you like orange juice? Or should I get you pineapple juice?
Me: I'm okay with pineapple juice
Claire: great
Then she dashed off
Loretta leaned closer to me
Loretta : she wants to make friends with you
Me: I can see that
Loretta : it's because of your freedom card
I chuckled
Claire came back with a glass pitcher filled with chilled pineapple juice and threw glass cups. Then a cake on a plate. All of which were on a tray
Claire: I hope you like this
She dropped the tray on the table and filled the glasses. Loretta helped her slice the cake. I felt like a boss lady because they both were doing jobs
I knelt beside Loretta and took one of the glasses then shifted it to Loretta, I took the second glass and left the third for Claire
Loretta: I love chocolate cake
Me: not as much as I love it
Claire chuckled softly. Loretta shifted the cake to my front and I took a slice
Claire: do you know next week is partnership week?
I took a bite and watched the two girls
Loretta: I know
Claire: and I also heard we were gonna get split into different classes for this semester
Loretta: that's normal for every last year class
Me: is that how you guys do it here?
Loretta: yeah
Me: wow
I gulped down my juice and took another bite
My phone buzzed, I took it up and it was Anibe
📩yo lil sis, where 're ya?
I sighed
Me: I gotta get going. It was nice being here Claire
Claire: my pleasure. We'll see tomorrow right?
Me: sure
I took the last sip from the glass and dropped it, then I took in the last munch of the cake and stood up. Loretta stood up too
Loretta: thanks for the treat
We walked to the door and left after waving her
Loretta: I'm so tired. I want a nap
Me: I saw Daniel
Loretta: when?
Me: today. When I first came here
Loretta: he's the big boss so....
Me: speak of the devil
She traced my gaze and it fell on Daniel who was coming out of the car
Loretta: quick, hide I don't want him to see us
Me: why?
Loretta: because he can order us out
Me: why would he do that?
Loretta: because he hates Andy and I'm.....
She was cut short by Daniel's voice
Daniel: hey!!
We looked up and he was looking at us

To show you how crazy I was feeling, I turned back and went to the estate. I came down and looked for the black girl's carIt was still standing there. I heaved and leaned on the carDad's words rang in my ear again. He wants me to make friends with her because of his business. Normally, I'm not the type that should care about anything and I should follow my own ways but, thinking about it, dad's business will soon be my business tooI'll soon be in collegeI took few steps away from the car. Then I saw a locket on the floor, I picked it and opened it.Me: it's Andy's cousinI dropped it back and wanted walking forward but for the first time, my conscience itched me.I picked it up againShould I give it to her tomorrow? How I'm I even going to do that?I looked u

______________________________________________________________________💚Loretta 💛I came back to the garden and didn't see Unugwa. I think she went to a class. I hurried off to my own class and waited for the teacher. Andy came and sat beside meAndy : mom wants you to come home tonight.

______________________________________________________________________ 💚Unugwa💚When I entered school, I was quite early. No one else was in class so I decided to go to the library. I sat down and began to read the book I was reading yesterday.It was Peter Pan and I was so engrossed in it, my love for magical stories knows no bounds.I checked my watch and guessed that Loretta should be in school. I decided to go and check first. When I entered class, few students were already there. I saw Loretta's bag and I went back to the library to get mine.From the entrance, I could see that some students were in already. I didn't look at them, I just took my bag and headed out of the large room.Few steps from the table where I was reading, I decided to bring out my freedom card from the book I read. I needed to leave the school to get Daniel's bis
______________________________________________________________________ 💜Daniel💙I'm very fast to anger. I've got the worst temper and everyone always criticize me of it. Except for my dad who I took it from, and my manager who says it's good for me to be able to charge at my opponent.Anyway, little things make me angry. But usually I get amused when I see Agnes threatening girls because of me. I find it as entertainment, seeing her fight so much for something she can never get. I should have known that she was going to come after Unugwa.I can't explain the anger I felt when I saw her confronted by Agnes. Agnes has no right to do that, she's not my friend, she's not even anything to me. I don't even see her as a girl that has a crush on me.What made me angry was that she said, I Daniel Alberto is hers. Gosh!I didn't hear muc

______________________________________________________________________ 💚Unugwa💙I slept for about two hours after I showered. I remember we came back home by 2pm and now it's 4:30pm.I rolled over on my large bed and looked into the ceiling. Then I remembered my leg, I sat up and looked it over. The pain has reduced.I yawned and got down from bed. I still couldn't walk properly. I limped downstairs and met mom drawing Anibe's ear.Mom: what did I say?She twisted his ear and he hopped up and down yellingMom: I said what did I say?Anibe: that I should remove this earring before you close your eyes and reopen themMom: goodShe left his ear and he covered it and sat downMom: stupid boy. He wants his father to turn this house upside down&
