Chapter Twenty-Seven
It'd been two days and Junior was still acting the same to everyone except his dad. Aunty was getting worried by the day, I felt Junior drifting away slowly.
I made it a mission to find out what was wrong. I was presently in his room trying to get him to talk.
"Junior I've been watching you for the past two days, something is wrong and I'm sure of it, please talk to me. It's Atti." I assured. He still wore an unsure look.
"Junior baby, you know you can talk to me, trust me, you can confide in me, I promise I won't tell mummy." I cajoled.
" Promise?" He spoke after five minutes of staring at the ceiling.
"Promise." I said without hesitation.
"Let's go to your room." He got off the bed.
"Okay." I agreed before walking out, Junior two steps behind, keeping his distance.
"Now will you tell me what's wrong?" I questioned in a calm voice.

I was glad I spoke to Junior yesterday and to say we had fun was an understatement. Junior was feeling better and it gladdened my heart. Even his family noticed he was more cheerful now.Talking actually has an impact on people, words are indeed sharper than swords.I woke up about thirty minutes ago and I'd been laying on the bed staring at the ceiling, being thankful for everything.I could hear the voice of a woman conversing with JB at the gate. I peeped out my window. I had two windows in my room and could look through them to two different sides of the house.I sighted a elderly woman in a black T-shirt and she was sporting the typical double wrapper style common among the Igbo tribe of Nigeria with a pair of that slipper-like wedge elderly women liked.I couldn't see her face clearly but her gestures indicated she was mad about something. She pointed a finger at JB and back at the front
ATTRACTA Chapter Twenty-Nine
It's been one day, twenty one hours, twenty eight painful minutes since Calista arrived and she's made me want to pull her hair in annoyance.She's been up to silly tricks, and I guess I was beginning to gain a new perspective to things; Mama's favourite was Ruby but Calista's favourite was Rose. It was weird.I stepped under the shower as I let the cool water run through my hair, to my neck before cascading down my back, I let out a sigh in relief.What was that sound?I took a few calculated steps towards the bathroom window, standing on my tiptoes, JB's frame came into view as I saw him fumbling with a plastic chair, trying to put it to a balance."Are you lost?" I yelled making him stagger, lose his balance and fall to the floor. He was shocked and the look on his face was enough proof that he knew he was caught.He could only see my face, the rest of my beautiful body

It's been five days since Calista stepped foot in this house and it's been drama after drama each day. Aunty was fed up.I had completely forgotten about asking Aunty about my friends coming over but I was going to do it now.I knocked on the door expectant for a reply."Come in." Uncle's voice called out."Good afternoon sir and ma." I greeted."Afternoon Attracta, you want to see us?" He asked as he stroked Aunty's hair whilst she laid her head on his chest as he was in an upright position, his back against the headboard. Lovebirds.No Uncle, I came to admire your room."I wanted to ask if my friends can come over for the afternoon, just two of them sir." I asked a bit skeptical." Sure why not? You hardly ever have guests anyways. They can come over." Uncle dismissed smiling as Aunty also nodded.I thanked them and walked out, sh

The past few days had been hell and I couldn't wait to go back to school, my heart still ached and I might just have to leave with it that way.I shed the last tear I had to spare on this issue, I was done crying. It was time to move on. I'd spent four whole days of my holiday crying over some boy who was probably living his best life somewhere in the world.I couldn't reach him and I guess it was pretty obvious, he'd blocked me on all platforms and avenues. It was as though, to him, I meant nothing and the love we share,or better still, shared was just a phase that wore off.School was resuming on Monday and I couldn't wait to embrace the distraction it would serve as to me. We have just three more days to get ready.But the only con being the fact that I'll have to run into Nuel a lot at school.

"Welcome madam, this way please." The nurse directed Mrs Laura to Attracta's ward. "Oh my God!, Attracta!" Mrs Laura exclaimed before her hand flew to her mouth in pure shock. " I have to call her parents, I have to call her parents." She fumbled through her handbag for her phone. "Mrs Peters, Mrs Peters." She rambled as her hands shook vigorously whilst she searched through her contacts. "Hello madam." She tried to maintain herself. "Good evening ma, I was just about to call you ma, Attracta isn't home yet and I just arrived home, I went to search for her at school but the whole compound was empty. I'm very worried,what would I tell her parents?"
ATTRACTA Chapter Thirty-Four
I'd been on bedrest and close watch for a few days after I'd been discharged from the hospital and as uncomfortable the watch might have been,I preferred the scent of my room to the pungent one of the hospital bleach and antiseptic.I was back to my usual self already except this slight dizziness that crept up occasionally, when I abruptly got off my bed and I staggered a bit for about five seconds as the black dots cleared out, and I tried to regain my balance.Stalking towards the kitchen,I passed by Ruby eagerly speaking to Rose about something. Opening the refrigerator, the light came on and I picked up a bottle of water before closing it. I looked through the medical cabinet and took out some paracetamol and some vitamin c tablets before walking into my room.It was evening already and I still had it in mind to convince my guardians that I was ready to return to school.I ascended the stairs and knocked o

"Attracta." A tender voice called out." Attracta." The voice called out again.What was that?"Attracta!" It sounded sharper and also closer right now and I slightly hummed in response.Yes! I'm listening to you."Babe wake up!" The voice became clearer now as my eyes fluttered open, slightly adjusted to the light as I still blinked rapidly."Rose?" I recognized the face, marred with an exasperated frown on her face.She probably might have been trying to wake me up for a little while."You have ten minutes to get ready or we'll be late for school." She announced and the adrenaline kicked in immediately her message sunk into my brain."Ten minutes o." She emphasized and I broke a run to the bathroom to rush through my routine.I was done and in just a little over ten minutes, I stuffed my
