Her elder sister, Pearl was also a student of the school, in her senior year. Pearl scoffed has she watched Jewel practically ogling the school and drooling."Stop drooling." Pearl snapped at Jewel who in turn touched the side of her lips to see if her sister was right."It would destroy my reputation if people saw you." Pearl looked away nonchalantly. Jewel eyed and kissed her teeth at her sister."You don't have to be so mean, you know." Jewel replied, as their mum moved towards the parking lot where numerous cars were already parked in an arranged order."You coming to this scho

Monday came faster than expected and all students were dressed smartly in their school uniform which was a combination of light blue short sleeved shirt and grey slacks for the guys and a grey flared skirt which was just above the knee for the senior girl and pinafore for the junior girls. Jewel wore her uniform and complimented it with black high tops sneakers, her white socks showing. Her tie was loose around her neck and her hair was packed in a donut bun. She was just stuffing her back pack with books when Henrietta walked in."Hey gurl!" She called in her naturally excited voice and Jewel flashed her a smile. Henrietta plopped down on her bed and watched Jewel."Hmm, someone seems super excited about start school. That's a first." She teased and Jewel laughed."I'm just excited about being in my first boarding school, away from my parents. It's partial freedom." She replied  and Henrietta nodde

It was night prep one night when a Junior came to Jewel's class with a paper wrapped together. It was from Henry. The content of the letter said that she should meet him at the Visual art studio in the next ten minute. She got the message and waited for the time before she stood up from and seat and left the class room to the studio. Jewel got to the front of the studio and saw Henrietta waiting. She frowned. "Henrietta." She called and the latter turned to her. "Thank God, you were finally here. He is inside, he wants to see you." Henrietta chirped and Jewel nodded, opening the door and walking in the dim lit room. It was still quite  so she could see her surroundings and she didn't miss Henry standing by the table. She smirked. "Are you trying to be romantic?" She asked, teasing him. He chuckled in response and moved closer to her. "Maybe. Am I doing a good job?" H

BACK TO THE PRESENT Henry's POVRiing... I took my eyes off the road for a few seconds to look at my phone that was ringing by my side. I saw that it was my mum and sighed. Picking the call, I connected my phone to my AirPods and cleared my throat, getting ready for whatever she wanted to say. Even thought I knew exactly what she was going to say. "Good morning mum." I greeted her, using the rear view mirror to look at my daughter that kept playing with the straps of her school bag. I smiled, my mind absent to whatever my mum was saying. "Akinola!" Mum's voice pierced through my reverie and I winced as her high pitched voice pierced through my reverie. She called me by my middle name which indicated that she meant business. "Yes mum." I answered her. "You are not listening to me, this boy

Jewel's POV"Excuse me." I didn't wait for any of them to reply before I dashed out of the office and practically ran all the way to the rest room. Immediately I got in, I locked the door and leaned my back against it, by breathing ragged and laboured. I walked over the mirror and stared at my reflection. Henry is here. As my boss. "This cannot be happening." I whispered to myself as I began to splash water on my face, trying to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. It was quite certain that I wasn't dreaming. I stared at my reflection as my mind began to go back in time. To everything that happened back at high school. I suddenly began to feel anger course through my veins. Not at Henry but at myself for being so naive to actually fall for a Player after so many warnings. And I hated Henry for proving them right. All of them.

Chapter 10
Jewel's POVI honked when I got to the gate of my house and waited for the gate man to come and open the gate. I have had a long day at work and thankfully, I was able to avoid Henry because he was barely on seat today. That was literally good news for me. I still wasn't used to seeing him every day. As the gate man opened the gate and I drove inside, I began to think about him. Even though I hated to admit it, I missed him, so much. And seeing him again, all grown up, successful, more handsome, it sparked up memories of high school. Memories that I have tried over the years to bury. Those childish memories I still couldn't deal with. Pearl has been asking me about the new job, who my boss is and so on. She must not know it's Henry or she would ask me to quite. I told her that it was Laura instead. I just hope that one day she doesn't drop in my office unannounced and see Henry there. She would kill m
