School Days √21: Catching feelings.
I almost kissed her.Derek wondered in his mind as the realization began to kick in, he had almost kissed Janet. They were so close, their lips almost touching, if anyone of them had just leaned in, he couldn't guarantee that it'd have be just a peck.He had thought that when he leaned in, she'd have slapped him and stormed off; but she just stared at him with those brown eyes of hers, parting her lips which looked rather inviting at that moment. Thank goodness Jagun had interrupted them, like he had said before, he didn't know what he'd do if they kissed.Janet and the others had left him to his thoughts about an hour ago, he still recalled what Janet did before leaving his home. When she and his friends were walking out the gate, she turned towards him with that innocent look on her face. He watched how she smiled so much that her apples on her cheeks beamed. When he was still focused on her smile, she got on her tip toes and
School Days √22: Stolen kiss.
It seemed like Dotun had been making her moves on Derek, well, not that it was new; but this time she really went at it.Janet was surprised when she saw Derek down the hall, that wasn't the surprising part, it was when he actually walked over to her with a small awkward smile and said hello. Janet didn't even know what to say, she didn't expect him to actually walk all the way to her!"What's up?" He asked, showing her one of his scarce smiles; he awkwardly ran his hands against the back of his neck. It had been three days since she and Derek had their almost kiss. When she went home that day, the smile almost tore her face.She kept on cheesing and giggling about it to Juliet; the help/her gist partner. Janet couldn't believe that they were so close to kissing, she even saw him lean in. Did that mean he wanted to kiss her as bad as she did? Janet bit her lip at the thought, unknown to her that Derek's gaze followed down to her lips."You do that a lot." Derek n
School Days √23: Can I kiss you?
One second.Two seconds.They didn't pull away, Derek's eyes widened as if the realization had hit him; Janet just stared, backing away from the scene slowly, wondering if he'd kiss Dotun back. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed in her chest, her lips quivered at the thought of him actually giving in to the kiss - so she ran.She didn't even care if they heard the school bag on the table she had accidentally knock down fall to the ground, Janet just ran, making her way back to the class. Her eyes felt heavy, she felt sick to the stomach; all she could do was put on a fake smile and walk back into the noisy classroom.She should have said no when Dotun asked her if she could talk to Derek."She's back." Yinka declared, looking over at Janet, from just a look alone, anyone could see that Janet wasn't in the mood for jokes - even if she had a smile on her face, her eyes told a different story."Haha yeah." Janet sai
School Days √24: Transfer student.
-"Senior Janet, please it was my mommy that was delaying me." One of the juniors cried out in annoyance, clutching his bag with tears almost welling up in his lower eyelid. Ada hissed, fed up with the boys behavior; Janet knew Ada was about to say something mean, so Janet stepped in - still in a good mood from what had happened on Saturday."Don't worry, just go. Don't sha come late again." She pardoned, giving the boy a sweet smile. "Ah nawa oh, this one you're just letting them get away with it, and don't think I haven't noticed that permanent grin on your face." Ada pointed out once the boy had ran to his class, then up the stairs to attend the assembly."What do you mean?" Janet hummed, playing clueless. Ada was right, ever since Friday, she'd had a grin on her face, her mood was touching the sky. Even on a Monday, Janet was still on cloud nine. "Guy yarn me nah, what went down at the party?" Ada groaned, wanting to know what...or who got her best friend so
School Days √25: Fake smile.
"Damn this sucks."Ada sighed, picking on her teeth. It had been one entire week since Janet had been called to the principals office, one entire week of Janet being absent from school. Ada has tried to text and call, but it didn't even go through. She was beyond worried for her friend, she tried going over to Janet's house but Ada's was against it - saying Janet needed time to herself.Everyone misses you, I freaking miss my best friend gee, please text me back.Ada typed, sending another message to Janet before sneaking her phone back into her locker. It was true, everyone felt the absence of the ever loved head girl. When Tiwa heard about what had happened, even he seemed down. Not to talk about Derek. Ada had never seen him so worried.Once again, the message she sent had only one tick, which meant that her phone was off or it just wasn't going through. Talk to me dammit, Ada scolded I'm her head. She remembered when Janet
School Days √26: Ada and Ope.
Janet leaned into his arms, laying her head on his shoulders as she inhaled his scent. She loved how he scooped her up, not to mention the fact that she was still straddled on his lap like a baby. Janet found herself snuggling deeper into him, her heart going at a thousand miles per hour.It felt so surreal - losing Juliet. It hurt Janet so much, her heart clenched at just the thought of going home to no Juliet, at the thought of having no one to talk to her when her mother was busy. Janet was an only child, but she never felt that way with Juliet, now she really did. The burial was quick, Juliet's mother came in from the village, looking even more horrible than Janet did. She cried her eyes out. For the first time, Janet saw Juliet's boyfriend...or sugar daddy. She didn't know how he heard about the news, but he did. He sat at the back of the hall the entire time, in all black.She remembered him because Juliet had shown her a picture once or twice. Juliet. Janet fe
School Days √27: Excursion ft Beach party (Part 1).
"Janet, I hope you're still on track with your school works?"The principal asked with a soft yet stern tone, folding her arms as she leaned in from her leather chair. Janet inwardly groaned at the question, feeling awkward as she stood in her office along with Ada, Tiwa and Ebere.Ebere was the assistant head boy, who also happened to be one of the guys Janet dated when she was in junior school. He was tall, broad shoulders, well defined jaw, grey eyes. Ebere was an albino. He gave her a look when the principal said that, pity clouding his vibrant iris; even if Ebere was dating a girl called Susan in SS3C, he still cared about Janet deeply. More like a brother and sister bond."Yes ma." Her cracked voice echoed through the cold office, she almost cringed at how high pitches it sounded. They were all lined up in front of her office, which meant that she had something to tell them."Good." Janet didn't like the awkwardness of hearing her own voice in the sil

What Kareem had said to Janet didn't leave her mind, she still got chills just from thinking about it. As much as she tried to decipher the words, she knew that she wouldn't be able to. Who were the so called dangerous guys keeping an eye on him? Was Derek in trouble and he didn't even know it? She grew more worried as she dug deeper into her mind.The hours they spent at the museum was a drag, Mr Wesley urged them to write on the artifacts that they clearly didn't give two about. Janet glanced at Kareem a few times, trying to tell if he was playing a prank on her or just being salty. But when Kareem looked her way, he still had that warning look on his face."This one you've been thinking hard, I hope all is well." Ada asked in a worried expression, nudging Janet when she didn't respond. "Oh, nothing oh. It's just one nonsense Kareem said." Janet shrugged off with a nervous laughter. She could only hope that it was nonsense."Kareem ke? What did he say?" Janet didn't
