"So next week is February "? Is that a rhetorical question or what, I asked myself. We were outside since it was break taking a stroll. "This one you are talking about next month, do you have plans "?. Emmanuella asked while keeping quiet listening to them. "Are you guys that dump, don't you know what normally do in February ". "You are the one who keeps the tag of that". Ella rebuked her and immediately they both began to argue. "Serena, won't you say anything "? Linda called out to me but I pretended not to hear her. They are not dragging me into their childish argument. "Fine, you win, what's so special about February that you won't stop blabbing about it"? " Am also interested in knowing Linda". I finally joined the conversation. Waiting for Linda to explain the big month. "Well, ladies, February is the month in which we celebrate Valentine's, and the school always through a lavishing party f
"Attention everyone " Kelvin's voice rang through the room intending to grab everyone's attention and sure he did cus in no minute the room is as silent as a graveyard with just a few murmuring here and there. He talked about the Valentine's celebration that is fast approaching and what they plan on doing on that particular day. He urged James to come to take over from where he stopped since James is the Social prefect. "Good day everyone, hope you guys are having a splendid day as I am ". He smiled and just at that moment noise erupt from everyone mostly from the girls in the room. "How stupid " Serena suddenly said, she didn't seem to understand what the girls in their school see in James he is not even handsome enough to be compared to Golden Smith who is biracial. "Show off" Alexander said in unison with what Serena said. They both turned to face each other and immediately burst out laughing not knowing that they have created attention for themselves. Everyone in t
I walked over to my dressing table and I could see my Debit card on the table. I ran my hand through it and smiled as I remembered how James promised to help me and he also kept to his promise. He always goes out of his way to get things done for me just to make me happy and that's when it hits me, maybe, Linda is actually right. FLASHBACK "You know Serena, I have always seen you as a smart person but today I came to understand that it's just a show".Those words really hurt me and they keep on replaying in my head. "I thought you could figure things out but as usual,am wrong ".I gripped hard on my debit card putting all my frustrations in it. "You are ignorant, stupid and at the same time dumb. Your devotion to your Aborad nonesense has lead you to be confused and conflicted.What does she really take me for? Always blaming me for whatever happens between I and James. But I kinda pity Linda for the words she received from Ella becau
"So are you sure about this school of yours".Linda asked for the uptenth time. She has been questioning Serena's decision to pay for the scholarship advancement stuff, it just didn't sit well with her while the person she was questioning found it annoying. The are both on Linda's black high Lander heading to UBA Bank (United Bank of Africa) to make payment for the scholarship advancement which Serena claimed is the next step to follow inorder for her to gain the scholarship. "Am certain Linda"The voice of the reply came out with frustration as it's all written on Serena's face as she tried to avoid Linda from seeing her expression. "I know am annoying you right now, it's just that I keep getting a bad feeling about this. Does your parents even know about this? Don't you think you are taking a risk by doing this"?Serena sighed heavily as she tried to tell herself to be in control since she is the one who actually asked Linda to escort to do the pay
After much deliberation Serena decided that she will approach James and make up although it took a lot of counseling from Linda. Today is the day Serena decided to approach James and apologize for her unmannered attitude as Linda dimes it to be. Although Serena had come in terms with herself that she would do it,she still finds it difficult to do giving that James has always been the one taking the first step to mend their relationship whenever it breaks apart. Class was boring and not going as expected for Serena , first, James was in class all through, chatting and having fun with everyone except for her which felt annoying and sad. Some of their classmates sensed the tension between them but none of them made a comment or tried to find out what happened although, some of them made guesses of what was wrong. Even if they did ask, they would probably be ignored by Serena, laughed at by James,told to mind there business by Linda and insulted by Ella . So since no one wanted to
Things has gone back to normal just like everyone thought but one person knew that things has slightly changed . Moreover, being an observant type she was quick to notice this type of things. "This days , Ella seems to be drastically shifting away from us as if we are plague".Her grip on her pen tightened,brows knitted together. She didn't know what to think of this. "You think a lot, maybe she just needs an alone time".Due to a teacher being in their class the couldn't talk out loud so the won't get caught and punished afterwards. " I don't think that's it"Serena said as she gently raised her head to peak at the teacher before she continued. "I think she's up to something or haven't you noticed how close she is with James this days".Linda dropped her pen , folded her arms under her breast and looked at her friend wondering what happened to her. "OMG, what happened to you, please I don't like this new Serena get me back
James quietly stood up from his seat and everyone watched him leave with no one making an attempt to stop him."Why is it that whenever you are around, things don't always go down well"Adiguin felt irritated by Serena's words knowing how much James really loved her and she failed to see it."I don't create nor do I carry trouble around it's just that since this ss3 some people decided to create drama for me"Serena's reply didn't seat well with Adiguin adding her nonchalantly attitude it made him ferious ."I hope you know that I don't like you "He felt that maybe if he talks to her and tried to give her a hint she might understand but seeing the way she acted right now he became angry with himself for even trying."It's a mutual feeling ".Serena didn't like Adiguin neither did she hate him but hearing him say he didn't like her she felt it was only right to feel the same."But Serena, what's going on between you and James?"She gave Golden's question a minute of thought before answ
Serena's father have come back from Port Harcourt to spend the weekend with his family. "How much will it cost to purchase the jamb form (joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination form)?He asked his daughter who was lost in enjoying her food. His three sons weren't at home since they studied in different states so it's just the three of them enjoying their dinner. "I made some research on social media and Google and I found out that it would cost six thousand naira (N6,000) but just give me seven thousand incase it's not the actual price"Serena's father was a no nonsense man ,a man who wouldn't tolerate any act of misconduct from his kids which lead his children to grow in fear and weary of their own father. "Okay, later you met me in my room for the money or should I hand it over to your mom?".Serena looked at her mother who acted as if she wasn't listening to their conversation and continued eating "Which ever one that is okay with you is good wit
