CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
Sarah
The well lit room in Tunji's hostel was a beautiful sight to behold. The white light occupies almost every hole of the ceiling unlike that of the girls hostel, which had most of the bulbs burnt out. Little fans were also not far from the lights as they blew on my head, sending wisps of my hair, over my forehead. I sighed welcoming the breeze it provided, it flowed around my skin, soothing and calming it,

TemiWe had come back for prep late, when almost everyone had left the hall. Of course, Timi has been the one to delay me, initiating different techniques to get me to kiss or touch him, to end his punishments.The hallway leading to my dormitory was really quiet as the only sound that could be heard was that of crickets who had managed to enter into the hostel, disturbing students from their sleep. Prep had been fun, apart from the several weird glances I had received from Sarah. It could have even be counted as glare.I had ransacked my brain for anything I must have done to cause that but it had been to no avail, maybe she was just in a really bad mood. The door was close by already till a voice called out to me."Oh jeez, Sarah you almost gave me a fright." I jumped a little at her form that had been standing close to the entrance of the door blocked by the

We were aligned and arranged vertically as the head teacher of the senior secondary school three stood perimeters away from the entrance, calling each students by their surname, as he positioned them in seats by the same order. I was dressed in my neatly ironed uniform, my hair braided all back, Timi was standing next to me, towering over my form.Tunji stood not too far from Timi, he would turn around and look at me sometimes, but I paid no attention to him, Sarah was two heads away from me. I was giving her time, I had been doing that but it was starting to get on my nerves coupled with Timi not knowing anything about it. It had been like a burden I had been carrying on my shoulders with no one to help me. She should know better than to let a boy come between us. If boys had the bros before hoes rule, shouldn't we have ours. I understand that she got her heart broken, but she should understand that I never meant to hurt her. What am I even saying, I didn't do

TunjiI walked into the large office and slowly closed the door behind me. Turning around to be faced with the chestnut colored book shelf with different books arranged neatly in them. Walking in further, I was met with my father's office desk with different paper works scattered around it. Mum's picture rested on the desk, cladded in a big frame with hearts around it.It had been a long time the office had been graced my presence. I had always avoided going into his office as it brought back many memories of things I don't want to be reminded of, but I had to do what had to be done. He was a lawyer and a business associate with Timi's father. If anyone had the evidence I was looking for, he had to be the one.I pushed and pulled several lockers as I searched for what was on my head, going through different files and documents, I couldn't find what I was looking for. He had to have it! He had to! He should

The breeze shoveled around, causing the collision of sets trees to give a whistling sound, the flying around of students question paper as they rounded up the last paper for the examination. I was finished already, and was still looking for a way to talk to Sarah as it had been precisely a month we had stopped talking. The West African Examination ended today with a subject of economics and I could already feel my shoulders sag from the tension I had been carrying. I am so glad we are done, I can't wait for secondary school to b over for me, I need a break.We were to go home for a short break for a week before resuming back for the other exam, NECO. The weather had turned disastrous as the shy darkened and the breeze increased simultaneously, now and then a great howl will sound across the room caused by the wind outside.I got up from the designated hard well furnished wood chair linked together with a locker, my buttoc

TemiThe continuous humming of the moving fan blown by the breeze escaping through the window pavement could have counted as a distraction if I were truly concentrating on my environment. The windows shattered against their frame as a howling sound rose, my mother's sighs and humms filled the house, coming from the kitchen where she was preparing a special delicacy as she had called it.Three weeks had passed after the huge bomb that had been revealed on me and I had done everything to avoid Timi. I couldn't go back to the hostel, not after that. Sarah and I were not on talking terms, Ope was the girlfriend of Fikkie, who was the best friend to Timi. The very one I had been avoiding for three weeks. I asked for a break up and it looked like he was respecting the decision and I am glad he did seems like he was in a shock of his own.Tunji was a topic I was wishing to not dwell on because anytime I remembered what he had d

The last day of NECO rolled in like a dice and I wouldn't say I wasn't a little bit happy. I was done with secondary school unofficially though but it was all the same, being done with secondary school meant no waking up early in the morning and disturbace from my sweet sleep, no uniform, no annoying teachers, it just meant freedom, and who doesn't just love freedom?I haven't started talking to Sarah since she was still ignoring me due to the whole Tunji incident, I had started talking to Ope like before, also same as Fikkie but I always avoided them anytime Timi was seen coming close or was close by. One time I was with them when I had sighted Timi approaching, I had gotten up without a word and walked away quickly, and he looked hurt by my actions.I had managed to spend the remaining of the exam period running and hiding away from him and trust me when I say it wasn't easy, that had to be a big achievement happening during the exam

We were alone in the classroom. I was alone with him and I had nowhere to run to or escape. He was standing in front of me, his face carrying a fond look as he looked at my form like he had been starving from it. His eyes roamed all over me and I felt the heat follow through as his eyes landed over my lips, taking a little time before looking finally at my eyes.I was speechless, standing immobile at the edge of the table with a thundering heart. He was a distant from me as he stared at me with intense eyes. I was breathing hard and fast like he was actually touching me. The feeling was scary and at the same time pleasing. Sparks that had been missing in my body buzzed around me like a grinding machine and I felt heat pull around in my core.The hairs on my body stood up as I felt goosebumps begin to come out. I was feverish and at the same time, I was cold. The feeling was intense. The power he had over me was just too much an

TunjiFew hours ago.I had seen them together again. The both of them. Kora had called a lame meeting regarding the prom, which I could care less about. I had been waiting by the side, ransacking through all the heads of the students as they filed out. I was waiting for her to come outside so I could have a word with her. Was hoping that she would at least give me a chance and hear what I had to say.When Ope had pushed her into that lab room after Timi had poked his head out, I knew and I finally realized I stood no chance with him. Her eyes had gained this sparks which had been missing in them and it dawned on me that I could never rouse that reaction out of her. They both loved each other deeply and there was nothing I could do about it, it seems like their stars were crossed, like they were destined for faith to be with each other and I was just to stand and watch from afar.Even if she did
