Chapter Thirty One
                                 ~Fola~ My parents were looking at me cautiously, looking at me through hooded and guided eyes, looking at me as if I'd snap anytime, looking at me exactly the way they had looked at me when it first happened and the first few months after that. And it wasn't like I did not notice that they were keeping all the sharp objects away. I noticed but I choose not to talk or think about it. Thinking about it might make me wonder if physical pain would hurt more than the emotional one, if physical pain would dull the emotional one. Thinking about it might make me want to do it. Doing it would mean blood all over. A memory instantly flashed in f

Chapter Thirty Two
                              ~Moji~ "I used to have a twins sister and I killed her." My body tensed at her words. Her eyes were on mine but I knew she was not  looking at me. There was a farway look in her eyes, as if she was seeing far into the future or the past. That look scared me.  A whole lot.  "We were very close. Too close self and very identical. It was only mom and David that could tell us apart. Dad couldn't. She was the gentle one and I was the troublesome one. She'd take the punishments for my troubles and she'd allow me to take the glory for her own good things. I liked her and I was jealous of her too. I felt our parents preffered her to me and t

Chapter Thirty Three
                                ~Fola~ The first thing I did when I got home was to cross out 'Make a real friend' from my to-do list. I felt like I've indeed found a true friend  in her. I've never recounted the day of the fire outbreak until yesterday. I've never told anyone about my own version of how it'd happened but something about Moji had made me forget my resolve not to tell anyone about it and in the end, I'd told her everything, every single thing and I did not regret it. I had the most fun with her that night and I've never had more fun in my entire life. We'd talk about everything and nothing, about her liking Leke and Tobi and the last time I remembered checking before I finally fell asleep was 3:30am. I've neve

Chapter Thirty Four
                                  ~Leke~ Moji called me out of the blues to help her in baking a cake for her brother's birthday. I wasted no time in leaving my assignments and jogging over to their house. She was in the kitchen, mixing a batter on the cabinet. She was dressed in shorts again and a small top that was showing off her bellybutton. Immediately I walked into the kitchen and I saw her like that, I knew instantly that it'd be a hassle keeping my hands off her.  "Oya, come and help me beat this egg instead of turning me into an artwork." I chuckled to myself as I entered the kitchen fully and I stood beside her. I was supposed to be beating the egg, I was actually doing that but I couldn't help stealing occasio

Chapter Thirty five
                               ~Moji~ I've been smiling conspicuously since two days ago. And my hands would subconsciously brush over my lips, remembering everything that had gone down just two days ago..  "What are you doing?"  Fola asked, cutting through my thoughts and I blinked back into reality. We were in the cafeteria and three pairs of eyes stared back at me. I swallowed. I did not know that I'd gotten lost in my thoughts again.  "You've been blushing suspiciously and you keep touching your lips. That's suspicious." Fola continued an

Chapter Thirty Six
                                ~Fola~ I was at the park with Tobi, talking about random things. We were doing that more often these days, talking about everything and nothing. Sometimes, enjoying the absolute silence, our souls talking more in the moment than our mouths.  And he'd use that time to probably kiss my neck or even my lips. He was always looking forward to us being alone.  "Stop it."  I mouthed cheekily and I attempted to move away from him but his hand on my waist kept me close, nudging me even closer as he continued kissing my neck, my earlobes and I shuddered involuntarily.  Who'

Chapter Thirty Seven
                                ~Moji~ It took me just a few seconds to put everything that was in front of me. Leke with his back to the table, Peju kneeling in front of him, hands inside his trouser. I stared at them in disbelief, intense anger shaking me. For a moment, I was too stunned and too stupefied to move. It was only when Leke jerked away from Peju that I was to blink back into reality and I turned back. It was almost closing hours anyway so I walked to the garage, my foot barely touching the ground until I got to the garage. The driver was already around do I just entered the car, biting the insides of my cheeks to keep myself from crying.

Chapter Thirty Eight
                                ~Leke~ Screwed doesn't quite describe what I was going through. Messed up. Fucked up. I've done absolutely nothing since the moment she walked in on us than go think about her expression, the surprise and hurt and disgust and repulsion. I've successfully ruined whatever it was between us. I've successfully hurt the feelings of a girl that genuinely care about me. I've successfully ruined everything. I kept staring at my phone, torn between calling her, then dismissing that thought because I have absolutely nothing to say to h

Chapter Thirty Nine
                                 ~Fola~ We were in the conference room. By we, I mean, the students that showed interest in participating in the intra school competition for ECOWAS oratory Contest. One of the school's administrators and a speech instructor were with us. We were 12 students and it was a question and answer session so they'd lay 7 people off, then the last five would climb the stage next Friday and the final winner would be chosen. I released a shaky breath as I felt like sinking more into my seat. Peju was sitting in front me, pretty in all her glory, eyes blaring and shooting daggers at me. It was hard to maintain my stance under her scrutinizing gaze but I folded my hands over my chest and I matched her gaze

Chapter Forty
~Leke~Frustrated wasn't the word. I was beyond frustrated. I really don't know any word that would describe what I was feeling. The fact that she was pretending nothing had happened. The fact that she was smiling, talking to me and ignoring me at the same time was baffling. And it was killing me. Because I knew it was all a mask and that she was hurt and that was hurting me too.A whole lot.I'd attempted to corner her and to talk to her but she'd just tell me off plainly. It's like we never existed. I don't know if we ever existed self. I wasn't even sure what the meaning of we was.I was in my room, staring out of the window and staring at her room. The curtains were drawn and once or twice, I'd catch a figure in the room. I knew it was her. I don't know how long I stood there but the next thing I knew was that I was climbing the stairs to her room. It was only when I got to the front of her door, hands poised in the air to knock that I stopped. What was I doing here?Wha
