"So girl have you given up on him yet" Martha asked, she knows everything "Nope, I will wait, you know all good things come to those who wait" she said the last phrase with me"Soon our ss1 will be over and we will be a step closer to being the school prefects" she said happily "Yes" am happy too, cause these present prefects bully's a lot, though not close to that devilBeing the most intelligent girl in school I might get an assistant prefectOliver is the brightest in both boys and girls, so he is definitely going to be the senior prefectHe is also good at football, so he might be game prefect. But if he becomes the senior prefect and I the assistant, that means I will have more time with himI just have to study harder so I won't miss that post"Look" Martha tapped me, showing me Oliver with Amina, "Isn't he perfect" I drooled"Are not jealous he is with another?" she asked"Nop" I answered, I don't believe one has to be jealous when such things happen, I know he will be mine one day then why get jealous"Sometimes I wonder the type of love you have" she said and walked past meOne day when she falls for someone, you will know I thought to myself the followed her, We are on our way homeI help my mother on the weekends, today is Friday so I decided to go help herAm not really needed much, she has 3 sales girlsJust being bored at home, and I get to have shortbread, "Take this phone, the driver that will bring the goods will soon call" my mom said handing the phone to me"Give him the direction" she said, I now have a phone, though not an android, just a normal phone for a callMainly my parents and Martha, people rarely call meI wish I have an android, I would be chatting"Hello" I picked the phone immediately it rang"Cupcake" his deep tone came out, sending chills down me"Why are you calling" instantly my mood change"Why are you with boss lady's phone" he asked, "Cause am waiting for someone to call" I saidHe chuckled "have you finally got a chance with Oliver"He made me remember all the plans he ruined, The hate I had for him resurfaced "Why did you call" I asked"To ask about things" he replied and I imagined him shrugging "Things are fine, can you now hang up" my patience is now very thin"Wait, do you know we hardly breathe with our two nostrils" he saidIt surprised me, cause this is so unrelated to our discussion But what surprised me most is that's its true, Cause I blocked my right nose and its difficult to breathe true the otherShowing I wasn't breathing with it early"You just tried it cupcake" he said with a giggle"No, I didn't" I don't want to give him the satisfaction "Deny all you want the truth still remains" he said"And you just placed your palm on your forehead" How did he know I just did that"How did you know" I asked, I looked around to make sure he is not back, "Stop looking around" I gasped"I know what you do whenever you are frustrated, so it's easy to notice cause I frustrate you a lot""You devil" I said and he laughed, then I smiled, like really smiled, it lasted for a moment cause my sane part reminded me the devil he is, that moment another call came in, it must be the driver"Bye" I said cutting him off, I never wanted to be this rude but I panickedI panicked cause he scared me, I have never been scared of himI just hate him, but today he scared me because he made me smile. After the scary moment, my dream of him resurfacedIt hunted me for weeks, how can he have such power even when he is far awayAfter a while I forgot about it, the excitement of the new class helpedThe school will soon resume, and I will be in ss2 then will officially hold a post in the second termI woke up this night, to finish the novel I started earlier, am a sucker for a romance novelIt's titled "When lightning strikes" I love reading cause I imagine it to be Oliver and II was happy when I finished it, I heard a sound as I was about to lie downMore like a conversation, my parents normally do it, this time I decided to go eavesdrop "I pity him, he hardly shows his emotions and he has been through a lot" that's my dad's voice, I just stayed at a corner I can't see them, so they can't see me too"I know, that's why it's better...... " my mom I couldn't hear her last words "we have already received calls from his aunt, it's becoming too much for her" she saidWhat are they talking about, I paid more attention even though it's wrong"He used to be a happy boy, now he only pretends to be happy" he sighed, I can sense his sadnessWhoever they are talking about is quite special, I decided it's a private matter and left them, I feel sad for the person, with that I slept off. School is starting next week, I already got a new uniform, new sandalsMom will help me with my hair next week on Sunday, so it will be new when I start on MondayWe are all at home its Sunday, my dad doesn't work and my mom leaves the shop for the salesgirls"So honey, your school starts next week" dad ask, yea he also calls me honey"Yes" I answered absent-minded, am focused on the home movie"Good, cause your brother will be joining you," he said and that got my attention instantly "What" I screamed, and he chuckled"Mavis is coming back," he said and my eye widened my worse nightmare,Then I remembered his promise before he left, that devil. Sadly am now on my way to get Mavis from junction Since he doesn't know here, Martha is with me"Don't worry he might have changed" Martha tried to console me"Once a devil, always a deviI" I said"If he is still the same, it doesn't matter, cause you have changed" she saidIt made me smile, I remember looking at the mirror this morning Am really gaining weight in the right places, though I know that's not what Martha is talking about"Yea, I changed, next tomorrow we start a new class and a step closer to prefect" I reasonNot that am really interested in being a prefect, I just want Oliver by my side"You know he is still with Amina" she said, I rolled my eyes"Yes I know, but I still have hope" I said, I felt chill, as I get closer to the junction"We are here" Martha said after a while, I looked around hoping to see him,I saw a tall guy leaning by the tree, his head is hung low he had headphone, so I couldn't see his faceBut he looks badass with his jean jacket, I smiled then continued searching for the devil"That guy is so badass" Martha said, I just gave her a nod"I can't find that devil" I said to Martha, she just shrugged"Then let's ask him" Martha said pointing at the badass, I smirked at herShe just wants a reason to talk to the guy"Alright" I said and she moved quickly to the guy and I followed"Hello" she said, I know the guy won't hear her, cause of the headphone, But I hope he feels her presence, luckily he did cause he raised his headMy jaw dropped, he is the devil, he looked at Martha with a frown faceMartha is rendered immobile, cause I can see how stiff she is"What" he said with his deep voice, then his eye caught me, and his frown famishedHe gave me the cutest smile I have ever seen"Cupcake" he said, and I can't help but think how devilishly handsome he is. "Devil" I said, more like muttered, and once again he scares me.When we got home, Martha left, though she promised to stay till eveningShe barely looked at that devil, is she also frightened"So here is our new home" I said"Not bad, so where is everybody?" He asked"It's Saturday, so mom is at the shop dad is at work, though he will soon be back"Dad rarely go to work on Saturdays, he just nodded and worked around the house"So where is my room" he asked and I showed him, "thanks," he said and went insideHe shut the door, I think he is tired and wants to sleep,so I went to my room too and locked the doorThe devil is here now so I should keep my guard up.I woke up later in the evening, I heard some noise, it seems everybody is back"So Mavis, how have you been" my mom asked, they are both in the kitchen"Being cool" he said, he is helping her out, how come he is this nice to themI left them to go chat up with dad in the living room"Honey yo
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 wi
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
