Masuk~Uthman~
These memories will stay with me forever. Jade, standing beside me, facing me and laughing at nothing and everything that I was saying.
I was still thinking about her when I got home. I had completely forgotten about the headache I left at home until I walked in to see suitcases and bags at the front door. Moji was sit
We say goodbye, we hold on to these memories that never die. ~Jade~There were tables o
~Jade~I was walking with my back, all the while waving at Isreal when I bumped into someone. The drink the person was holding feel on the ground and it spilled on our bodies. I instinctively bent down to pick the cup and the keys that fell with it.'I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going.'I stood up and handed the key to him. His hands brushed against mine and it lingered there for a moment. I met his eyes, about to tell him off and I froze.He winked at me, smiled and gave me a mock salute before walking off.I had an instant flashback and I instinctively moved back.I did not know how long I stood there. I was too immobile to do anything. It was only when two girls bumped into me that I regained my composure and started to walk back
Last Days at Lakeview High ~Uthman~We finished our exams today. Like we were really done with exams. No more secondary school's exams.We trudged out of the hall together because the external invigilator had insisted that we should all submit our scripts together.I shielded my eyes from the sun with my hand immediately I stepped out of the hall. It was closing time for the school and we could hear the loud chatters of students as we walked from the hall to the main building.'Now, I'm really done with secondary school. It's almost unbelievable.'One of my mates whom I couldn't place his voice said and almost immediately
~Jade~He motioned for me to wait a little. Then, he disappeared to a room and reappeared with a slippers. He dropped them in front of me.'You should change into this.'I stared at the big slippers before wearing them. They were big, way too big, that my feet got lost in them self.'Is this your dad's?'I blurted out without thinking. He smiled.'Nah, it's my grandfather's.'I made to hit him and he ducked.'Mama, why are you this violent?''I'm not violent and besides, why are you slippers this big? Your feet are too big.'I said, staring at his feet.'They're not. It's your feet that are too small. Too tiny. Even Mo
~Jade~Mogbe. Moku. Modaran.Won ti padà kó èsúrú wá.What the...?What was I even thinking?You were not thinking anything. You were just too eager to pick his call that you forgot you were literally wearing nothing.Aah. My God! How will I face him now? How will I even act around him?But wait oo, what of he did not see anything?Then I laid down on my bed and pretented I was on a video call while my front camera was on.Everything was in full display.He saw everything. 
~Uthman~And once again, our house became lively like it once was.It became loud like it was once was. It was impossible for it not to be loud considering my sister's chatter every now and then. The girl keeps talking. Over the last two weeks, she had filed me up with every single details of what I missed when they were not in the house.'And do you know the most important thing you missed?'She asked me one evening. We were both in the varender. I was reading my chemistry textbook because our Neco already started and I had Chemistry in two days time.The Almighty Chemistry.'What's that?'I asked her, not looking up from th
~Jade~Happy new year except that there's nothing happy about the new year. Things have gone downhill since Zee attempted to commit suicide. It was really a narrow escape. She heal
~Jade~Zee's room was locked when I got home. That's absurd because Zee rarely lock her door. Maybe she went out. I thought as I made to leave her room, then I heard a sob from her room. I knocked louder.'Zee, are you inside?'
~Jade~I felt like I just walked into a script.I felt like I'm drowning.I felt like I'm standing at the edge of cliff.I stared at the woman, digesting what she just said. Her icy cold tone sounded familiar
~Jade's POV~It's been two weeks since we vacated, two weeks of trying to convince that what Zee said is wrong. Two weeks filled with the thoughts of someone I'll rather not think about. I was sitting in front of the wall mirror in my room, trying on different earrings w
