“I thought you would be thrilled,” I said raising a brow at her outburst.“Yeah no, I’ll pass. She’s weird. Have you seen the way she looks at me?”“She’s just shy. Besides she needs friends.”She snorted. “Yeah right. She’ll have friends when she stops being a total freak!”She turned away to stop some of the girls from attempting a flip. “That’s enough, we will let you know if you made the team.” She looked over her shoulder at me. “Look, Bianca, you can’t convince me to let that girl on the team.”“Not even for Andre? He loves his sister and I think getting close to her will increase your chances with him. Unless of course, you want Eva or Rebecca to swoop in for the kill.”I had her full attention then. She came closer to whisper after a pause. “Do you really think that will boost my chances with him?”Jesus, I don’t even know who is worse between her and her dad. They see everything as a business opportunity. It doesn’t matter how much blood you have flowing through your veins, t
I found Andre eventually. Okay, let me start at the beginning. I couldn’t find him at first because he was avoiding me, yes the same way I was avoiding him when I found out I was supposed to be his student guide, thank God that one is over now! So later that day I ramped up my search for him and finally found him…get this, I found Andre in his apartment after dinner on his couch with Eva over him, Andre’s hand squeezing her butt, roaming her body while he kissed her.“Oh my…are you kidding me?!” I yelled. They are lucky half of our classmates were either still in the dining room or hanging around somewhere and the remaining half probably don’t care what they were up to, but then again maybe that was why he and Eva decided to stay back in the hostel to make out. “You literally just asked my best friend to be your girlfriend a few hours ago like a love craze jerkface.”Unbothered, Andre took his time getting his hands off Eva’s ass. Eva looked too pleased to pretend she was scared of wh
We sprang apart. I adjusted my clothes even though they weren’t rumpled, my heart thumping in my chest at the realization that we almost got caught. What if I hadn’t locked the door? Why had I locked the door anyway?Andre didn’t put his shirt on. He stepped back and waited for me to finish fidgeting with my clothes then once I moved away from the door he shoved a hand through his hair releasing a heavy sigh before opening the door.Siobhan was in his arms in seconds. “Hey, babe,” she started to kiss him when she noticed me standing there. “Oh, Bianca luv, you’re here.”I tried to smile. “Y-yeah… was eh…we were…”“Planning more surprises for you, baby,” came Andre’s strong voice.Siobhan’s eyes lit up. “Oh, you two! Why did I ever insist you become friends?” she rolled her eyes with a smile. “Now I will probably be getting new surprises every day. Am I a lucky girlfriend or what?”“The luckiest,” Andre said kissing her lips soundly. I stood there watching them feeling like an intruder
“Good morning boys and girls of Edwin and Co. or should I say Edwins and Edwinas…”“Wait is that the P. A system?” someone beside me in the hall asked. Everyone in the hall at 2 pm that afternoon stood at a standstill looking up and down the halls at the speakers hung on the walls.I stood with Rebecca beside me, we had been on our way to submit the new list of approved cheer squad members to the coach, Mr. Fletcher.“Was that Shewa’s voice?” Rebecca asked. I shrugged. It sounded like her though.“Bet you are all wondering what is going on, eh?” the voice continued with a giggle. “This is the new Chairman of the newspaper committee, AdeShewa Adekunle, speaking to you from the newsroom. I’ll clear your confusion dear students, Edwin and Co. now has a radio station airing on Fridays only. Presenting the programs from the school radio is none other than yours truly…actually me. I am your host on Edwin and Co. radio.” She laughed again.I chuckled. Shewa knows how to have fun even in the
“Hello, boys!”It was our last class for the day but Mrs. Perkins was most likely still holed up in the Staff Block gossiping to remember she was supposed to be teaching. Siobhan stood on the front desk with her hands up as she waited for the attention of the class to be on her. When she was sure she had everyone’s attention she practically glowed and flipped her hair.“Glad I have your undivided attention. I am sure you all have heard the announcement making the rounds about school.”“Are you talking about the student-teacher fuck thing? Because I have a hunch about that one.”Siobhan glared at Dan for interrupting her. “No Dan, that’s not what I am here to talk about and please refrain from interrupting me again.” She rolled her eyes dramatically. “As I was saying, the ‘other’ announcement on the radio today cleared stated something else; you boys will now have your cheerleading squad.”The girls cheered but the boys remained silent.“Yeah we heard that but why do we have to?” Gideo
So, because I am such a stickler for rules, immediately after the final bell rang I was off to the coach’s office to seek permission for a one-hour training. He granted it no questions asked. Lunch was quick, at least for we seniors who were eager to get out on the field. With the permission to train granted, Aaron and I were able to convince the Senior Class 2 students to take charge during the Prep. We wasted no time going back to the seniors' quarters to get ready. As cheerleaders, we have two uniforms, skirts and shorts. Choosing the shorts, the other teammates pooled together all the tights we could find and gave them to the boys who eagerly wore them under their shorts. They came out way too excited about what we had planned for them. Sharing secretive smiles we girls led them out to the field. It was a nice cool evening and the sky was somewhat bright. The grass was soft and slightly wet from the sprinklers. The boys were still too pumped with just too much energy, talking a
“I might need to get a restraining order on you.” I turned down the lights and locked the door. “Can’t say I am surprised. You have a thing for stalking and that’s not cool.” I pulled off my sneakers. “What now?”He said nothing, just sat there on my couch with his legs crossed. I ignored him and went to my fridge to get a bottle of water when I came back his eyes were closed and his right arm was flung over his eyes as if to shield them from the light.“Okay, don’t say anything when you are ready you sneak back out the way you came in.”“Leaving your balcony door open is dumb.”“I didn’t have to worry about that on my first night here until you moved in so what’s your point?” he didn’t reply me but he didn’t look out from beneath his hand. “Does Siobhan know you’re here?”“No. I needed to get away.”I stopped in my tracks on the way to my room. “From what?”“None of your business, Davis.”I scoffed. “Hello! Are you forgetting whose apartment this is? You snuck in like a snake over my
“Do you have to get to this gloomy look every time you are alone for 5 minutes?”“What are you talking about?”Aaron tossed me a biscuit packet, his eyes on my face watching my features closely. He dug out a tub of ice cream from the fridge and dropped it on the counter.“I’m talking about that frown on your face and that look in your eyes.”“I didn’t know you were paying so much attention to my eyes,” I tried to joke.He glanced at me again not smiling. “I pay attention to things I like, Bianca. You were happy before I left you this evening now you’re moody. Does this have anything to do with Andre coming out of your apartment?”I tried to hide my shock and hopefully, I was successful. Aaron wasn’t looking at me anymore, he was digging out spoons from a drawer but I got the impression that he was aware of every movement I made.“He did come out of your apartment, didn’t he?”“Yes, he did. He wanted to talk.”He sighed and leaned one hip against the counter so that he was fully facing
