Chapter Twenty-Two
Days rolled into weeks and time flew by, exams were around the corner. The classrooms of Belleview were getting more silent by the day, whilst the library received its august visitors.
The prefect-ship craze wasn't the hot topic anymore, most students had even forgotten about it while some were still trying to be noticed and we the nominees became more cautious alongside studying hard.
"Hey baby." Nuel waltzed into my classroom. I was the only one in class, it was break period and most of us were in the cafeteria while other were littered around school in their various quiet spots.
"Hey love." I replied as I dropped my pencil on the opened book in front of me.
"Why didn't you go for the break?" He asked occupying the seat in front of mine before pecking my forehead.
"I'm not hungry and I wanted to master these equations." I gestured to the book.
"Math wiz." He joked,making me smile.

It was the first week of the exams and I was in the library studying for my paper; it was by twelve.The perfect-ship craze was on a low and most students were putting in their all. It was being rumored that the prefects will be chosen based on their academic performance for this term.I didn't even bat an eyelash or break a sweat. Prefect or no prefect, I was still a seniorThings have been really rocky with Ruby for a couple of weeks, every little action surrounding me came with a consequence and I wasn't ready to back down either.Last week, a tumbler slid out of my hands while doing the dishes and she thought it best, to report about it to her mum.Who reports about a broken glass?Even her mum saw no reason for her report. She was just trying so hard to gain unnecessary attention at whatever cost."Good afternoon senior. This is for you." He handed a f

It'd been one hell of a week for me and probably, my cousins too. Aunty had been working from home for the past week so we all had to be home at the right time.It was harder on Ruby than Rose and I, I got to see my boyfriend at school everyday though, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of that. Though we still rode home together, I didn't dare go anywhere else but straight home.We were almost done with exams, I had just a few papers left. I was heading to the kitchen while scrolling throughmy phone.Aunty had confiscated our phones after the whole Ruby family meeting disaster and since it was Friday, she decided to let us have them and returned by Sunday afternoon.This was put in place "so as to foster more studying and less drama and distractions" in the house. I wasn't even in the least affected unlike my cousins, I still had my old phone much to the oblivion of everyone.Ruby was one step a

We were all refrained from visiting Mary at the sick bay yesterday after she fainted.But today, students kept on trooping in and out of science class to check on her. Some out of curiosity, others, out of genuine care.I wanted to check on her but decided to quench the fire of that thought at the moment.My butt graced my seat as I winced slightly. My injury stung a bit whenever I was about to sit down, or when I took deep breaths and worse when I walked under the scorching sun.The school had a playful aura about it this afternoon because the exams ended today. Senior students loosened their hairdos while juniors ran about the compound."Hot babe!" Ella hollered as she waltzed through the door of my classroom."So hot she got burned!" James teased."Shut up." Nuel smacked his head as he appeared behind them."Where are you guys coming from?" I smi

I woke up with a smile on my face, this was due to yesterday's events. I and Ruby proudly announced our new posts to her parents and they were genuinely proud of us.I sauntered to the kitchen after brushing my teeth. Mama and Aunty were in the kitchen discussing, I could barely make anything out of their whisperings."Good morning ma, good morning Aunty." I genuflected."Morning my child, how was your night? May you live long in Jesus name." Mama prayed."Amen." I replied."How's the burn?" Aunty glanced at my tummy area."It's healing fast Aunty, it will soon be completely gone." I assured her."But my child, look at the time, this isn't the right time for a young girl like you to wake up." Mama complained."I'm sorry ma." I said in order to avoid unnecessary sermons."But mama, Chizoba and Chikamsu are still sleeping." Aunty repl

It'd been two days and Junior was still acting the same to everyone except his dad. Aunty was getting worried by the day, I felt Junior drifting away slowly.I made it a mission to find out what was wrong. I was presently in his room trying to get him to talk."Junior I've been watching you for the past two days, something is wrong and I'm sure of it, please talk to me. It's Atti." I assured. He still wore an unsure look."Junior baby, you know you can talk to me, trust me, you can confide in me, I promise I won't tell mummy." I cajoled." Promise?" He spoke after five minutes of staring at the ceiling."Promise." I said without hesitation."Let's go to your room." He got off the bed."Okay." I agreed before walking out, Junior two steps behind, keeping his distance."Now will you tell me what's wrong?" I questioned in a calm voice.

I was glad I spoke to Junior yesterday and to say we had fun was an understatement. Junior was feeling better and it gladdened my heart. Even his family noticed he was more cheerful now.Talking actually has an impact on people, words are indeed sharper than swords.I woke up about thirty minutes ago and I'd been laying on the bed staring at the ceiling, being thankful for everything.I could hear the voice of a woman conversing with JB at the gate. I peeped out my window. I had two windows in my room and could look through them to two different sides of the house.I sighted a elderly woman in a black T-shirt and she was sporting the typical double wrapper style common among the Igbo tribe of Nigeria with a pair of that slipper-like wedge elderly women liked.I couldn't see her face clearly but her gestures indicated she was mad about something. She pointed a finger at JB and back at the front
ATTRACTA Chapter Twenty-Nine
It's been one day, twenty one hours, twenty eight painful minutes since Calista arrived and she's made me want to pull her hair in annoyance.She's been up to silly tricks, and I guess I was beginning to gain a new perspective to things; Mama's favourite was Ruby but Calista's favourite was Rose. It was weird.I stepped under the shower as I let the cool water run through my hair, to my neck before cascading down my back, I let out a sigh in relief.What was that sound?I took a few calculated steps towards the bathroom window, standing on my tiptoes, JB's frame came into view as I saw him fumbling with a plastic chair, trying to put it to a balance."Are you lost?" I yelled making him stagger, lose his balance and fall to the floor. He was shocked and the look on his face was enough proof that he knew he was caught.He could only see my face, the rest of my beautiful body

It's been five days since Calista stepped foot in this house and it's been drama after drama each day. Aunty was fed up.I had completely forgotten about asking Aunty about my friends coming over but I was going to do it now.I knocked on the door expectant for a reply."Come in." Uncle's voice called out."Good afternoon sir and ma." I greeted."Afternoon Attracta, you want to see us?" He asked as he stroked Aunty's hair whilst she laid her head on his chest as he was in an upright position, his back against the headboard. Lovebirds.No Uncle, I came to admire your room."I wanted to ask if my friends can come over for the afternoon, just two of them sir." I asked a bit skeptical." Sure why not? You hardly ever have guests anyways. They can come over." Uncle dismissed smiling as Aunty also nodded.I thanked them and walked out, sh
