YOU LOOK FAZED
"you look like you're going to faint." Foluke informed me the minute Ray said his good bye and stepped out, waiting for his friend who was engrossed in a deep conversation with Meredith.
"Hi to you too." I snapped at her. Dragging a seat towards the kitchen counter, I laid my head down. Wishing it would stop aching. Twas like I had a full stadium in there. "I'm trying to sleep.""Emmy get up. Ray doesn't have that much effect on you, now, does he? Foluke said sounding like she was going to laugh."Seriously." I graoaned. "Let me sleep. It's not funny.""Seriously, what's going on?" Foluke asked."Didn't you see the way he looked at me? " I seemed frustrated, "I felt so stupid. I didn't even know what to say nor do. I've never ever felt so stupid in my life. I mean, practically the whole of yesterday night kept replaying in my mind.""I don't get it." Meredith joined in the conversation, "that's why you're fazed?""I'm not fazed." I said. "It's just that,Related chapters
The Boy Nextdoor HOW INSECURE CAN YOU GET BECAUSE OF ME
I grabbed my notes at the first bell, signalling the start of first lesson. Gym class. Which meant two horrible things for me.Having to see Mitchell and endless running.I hated both. I was fit enough. I just didn't need an endless exercise in the morning to keep fit."Urrrrgh." It was frustrating plus the fact that I hated Mitchell made it worst. I mean, I got to see the girl every single second that pass by.Talk of the devil.Mitchell Wallked up to the gym teacher who stood close to me and asked, "please sir, can I lead the hurdle team?" All the while staring daggers at me.If I had a drink, I'd choke on it at how meek and humble she sounded. She wanting lead the hurdle team meant trouble would ensue in paradise. Seriously, if I had my way, I'll put a placard up that reads, "keep off! Danger zone." On her behind.*. *. *. *We ran the first lap with so much Jesus joy till about the time the whistle was blown signalling short break.I sat
The Boy Nextdoor WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LIKE ME?
This is unacceptable from both of you!" Mrs Davie, the principal who sat across from Mitchell and I said. "You both come from good homes and much is expected of you.""Mitchell? Good home? I would never bet my life on that." I said out loud. "Recheck.""I expected better," she continued, "from you, especially Ms. Yonas-""with due respect, Ma'am," I jumped right in, "you shouldn't be bias in judgement. Mitchell started it first by tripping me. If there's anybody to expect better from, it's her."Her lips turned at the corner. "Well, yes, Ms. Yonas. I know how true that is. Like, you've been getting perfect grades and all the teachers have got good things to say about you." She said."Favouritism much?" Mitchell scowled. "Mrs Davie, she clearly started the fight. There should be some kind of punishment for her." She flared."Ohhh Mitchell, shut your hole up." Mrs Davie said, "I know you tripped her, I mean, what where you expecting? And if anybody's too be pun
The Boy Nextdoor ALL THAT SHARING OF SALIVA
You would think the gossip column would actually let this one slide? Well let me tell you, by the time I limped out of the hospital wing, Ray holding me around the waist, the news was everywhere. Foluke ran all the way down, holding a copy of the gossip review. With a curt nod towards Ray, she asked ,"What the fuvk happened? How did you get into a fight with Mitchell?""Long story." I said, watching her through the corner of my eyes, eyeing Ray's hand around my waist. This was not good."Bisola and Meredith nkor? Left already?""Nope. Left them in the locker room to come look for you, but was greeted with the shock of my life. Rosa stood in front of the gym, selling copies of this." She held up a copy of the magazine, so I could see it very well. "Normally, I wouldn't even let myself be concerned as to why Rosa would publish the column on a Monday, but then I remember it's Greenville and how anything is possible. I took a step closer and this caught my attention."She han
The Boy Nextdoor IT'S NOT OFFICIAL
"I can't believe you beat Mitchell to it. Girl, you're votes were the highest!" Foluke gave me a warm embrace the moment I got to my locker."Beat Mitchell to what? " I rolled my eyes, "please I don't want trouble with that girl.""Are you scared?" She held me by my shoulders, "wait till you hear the full gist.""Which is?" I was so not interested. Seriously, my resolution beginning from yesterday was to avoid Mitchell like the headache. Just hearing her name was enough headache."You beat Mitchell to the crown for homecoming queen!" She yelled. "We're seriously going shopping girl.""Wait, that's the reason for the little circles and groups?" I recounted."Yes. Girl, it's big news here o. See eh, you and Ray have been nominated for crown followed by Mitchell and Alain." She squealed excitedly."Oh." I said simply."That's not all o." She stopped to catch her breathe, "The homecoming ball is a happening thing. Also, before the date's being announced,
The Boy Nextdoor EMMY AND I ARE GOING OUT
Almost to the end of school hours, the PA system blared out. "This is your vice principal speaking. I'm here to announce what you all have been waiting for. The nominees for the homecoming crown this weekend." He paused as if to catch his breathe and then continued, "The nominees for the homecoming Kings are, our ruling king, "Alain netheridge."I glanced around and everyone's attention was glued to the PA system, except for some few who acted bored by the speech and would rather the speech ended so they could go about their normal business."Raynard Stormwind."I so desperately wanted to smile when I heard that name but the eyes that turned to Stare at me had me keeping it together."Jeremiah Hoffman."A girl scoffed beside me, "Wrong choice.""And the nominees for the homecoming queens are, Emem yonas."About 20 of the girls in the locker room turned to look at me. Foluke wasn't lying and I'm sure that wherever she was, she was grinning."Our ruling

The Boy Nextdoor DETENTION!!
I entered the kitchen fully dressed for school and anticipating dinner with Ray in the evening. Anyone with good eyes could see I was way too happy.I found Ray and Alaine sitting on the kitchen counter and my mum talking to Ray happily. For a moment I was taken aback. My mum would never let me sit on the kitchen counter but here she was, breaking rules. Wow, something definitely was wrong somewhere. And didn't Ray and Alaine have to go to school? Didn't Alaine have a calculus test with me?"Good morning mum." I turned to both boys on the counter, "Don't you guys have school to attend today?" I tried hard to keep my gaze from wandering to Ray, which it constantly did.Ray grabbed me by the waist unexpectedly, planted a kiss on my both cheeks and said, "That's no way to greet your boyfriend."I wanted to melt, right at the spot. The way he smiled made me realize he did that on purpose. I remained glued to him and sneaked a glance at my mom who was blushing ferociously
The Boy Nextdoor YOU AND RAY?
"can you come over? -Alaine."I looked at the text for the fifteenth time to be sure I read right, and wondered how he got my digits.For the past four days, after Ray and I spent two full hours staring at a blank paper in the name of detention, we avoided each other like a plague. We barely talked, even In chemistry class which we both shared. Just when I thought we were getting along fine.Foluke started spending time with Jeremy, Meredith was always with Miguel and Bisola was always going off and on, but I wasn't alone.I spent time with Ray nowdays. When I told foluke this, she simply rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah. Big surprise you're spending time with a really hot guy who happens to be your boyfriend."Well she was right.I mean, after the kiss thing and the fact that we were spending a lot of time together, people began to take us serious.Just yesterday, a gossip review came out with a picture of our kiss and a full blow to blow detail of our re
