I released myself from my tight fitting uniform before taking a shower. I changed into fresh clothes and slumped on the bed.
I have places to go today. Firstly, Shile's house and Blake's house as well. I have no time to rest. I sprawled up and reached for my palm slippers. I apply little makeup to make my face glow a bit.
I took a cab and stopped according to Shile's description. I knocked twice when she opened the gate.
"Are you the gateman?" I teased as we both laughed.
"Come in Tiana." She said gesturing me in.
"I was expecting you, so I stood by the gate, I don't want to stress yourself"
"Awwwwn bby mi (my baby). Thank you jae . " I cooed .
"So.... How's your friend?" She asked rolling her eyes. First sign to detect if a girl is crushing. She could not even ask of my family or something else. B
Heyo!Tiana's POV.I rushed the stairs down and bade then goodbye before they could start apologizing.Immediately I saw the Baba, I made my face okay and forced out a smile so that his prophecy won't come true even though it did.I took a cab after I stepped out of the estate gate. I leaned against the seat and bent my head to restrain the tears. I thought about tomorrow.You're strong Tiana, can't all what you've been through make you strong after all? My subconscious scolded me.I paid for the fare and entered my house. My stomach grumbled at the aroma of someone cooking in the kitchen, who can this be? Patricia has gone home because of a particular reason like this.It might be my mum, this is so unlike her, cooking in the evening. Maybe she just decided to give a try.I went into the kitchen immediately to get someth
Sometimes you gat to drop that naivety, before something gets missing; and that's your voice.Tiana's POV.I took my jacket and and slammed the door behind me. There's an assembly today. I can't afford to be late today.Wednesdays is for assembly. All other days started with the first period, so it's easy to be late for days like that. Not days like Wednesdays."Good morning, how was your night" a voice beamed behind me.I can't believe he spent the night in this house. I don't think he has a job precisely. He's just a jobless romantic boy. How I wish that woman that calls herself my mum would see the things I can see about this fella."It was fine, thanks" I said and dashed out before he could continue. I hope he doesn't steal anything till I return from school.I came out to meet Benard waiting with the ca
Tiana's POV.I heard someone called Blake's name and I stopped. There was a book in my hand, I had wanted to shove into shelve."Snr Shile and Snr Blake fought today. I heard that it was Snr Blake slapped Snr Shile and she angrily went to report him"It was some junior students gisting behind me. I could have shut them from talking though, but what they were saying caught my attention that I couldn't stop me.Blake slapped Shile? This is incredible, I thought aloud. I must see him, he's hundred percent out of his mind. I went to the librarian with the book I'd love to lend from the library when Vivian came in."Are you guys deaf?! Can't you hear the bell? Run to the main auditorium before I deal with you!" She threatened at the junior students as they ran like scattered bees out of the library."What bell is that?" I asked, signing my guarantee to borrow the boo
Blake's POV"Am I forgiven?" I smiled and her fair cheeks burn red."Blake, can we please talk when you're back?" She requested, making a puppy face."Anything for you baby" I cooed in her eyes before pulling her in for a hug.I left the house and drove to my friend's party. I would not stop, I'm sure nothing my personality. I like it like that like Cardi B. I'm renowned playboy, I'm not denying it. You want to be mine, please be mine for a night.I picked my phone and dialed Tiana's number. She picked it almost immediately. I dropped the phone on my lap to avoid some cars."Hey! Where have you been?" Her babyish voice popped from the phone loudly."I'm on my way to your place, am I welcomed?" I grinned."Of course! I'll be expecting you oo" she declared, hanging up immediately.I'll still go to my party though, bu
A/N: see difficult words at glossary.Tiana's POV.7:01am.I strolled down the corridor to meet Tolu. It's part of my work to make the assembly look perfect. Today would be even be my testing period, maybe I'd be able to handle my post effectively.I called some junior students to carry the decorative clothes with me. We entered the room with to disrupt Tolu and Nicholas. They were just talking though."Ohhhh I forgot to bring this" Nicholas sighed, pointed at the decorations."What's up!" I greeted but the reply from Nicholas was weak and cold.Probably Blake had told him about what happened. But should that weak him? Because he was looking abnormally weak and frustrated."Tiana" Tolu called."Yes" I answered."Have you he
The next day...7:03pm.Blake's POVI brushed my hair in front of the mirror but I suddenly stopped halfway to think about my life. I've not talked to my mum since yesterday. She wouldn't even want to talk to me.I gave my school a thought. Everything must have spill by now. I'm going to loose my new post, my reputation with the teachers. My enemies! Jadesola, Shile and Tinashe.I shrugged off my nervousness and moved out for school. I met my mum at the dining just in front of me. I went dumb and try to mutter something."Good morning mum"She ignored me and took her car keys. I smirked and went over to the table. Blaire got worried but could not talk."Mum I'm talking to you!" I protested still unanswered.She suddenly turned back at me and lashed me."Please! Don't mum me a
Cos I'm all for you, make you know fear don't you bother. All for you - Joeboy.Tiana's POV.I stood and leaned back against the wall beside the main auditorium entrance. My mind was tied in guilt. I knew I wronged him, and it was obvious. I've sent Nicholas to him but he wouldn't listen. The Blake that I knew was willing to forgive, it'd even be him begging when I'm the one that's faulty but I really miss him.If I had expect that to continue, then I'm a selfish person. That's what he sent Nicholas to tell me. I decided to meet him again during the break period.Nicholas and I heard hot exchanges between him and someone I believed to be Jadesola. He'd never stop having problems with that boy. N
Third person narrative technique.Tiana kept changing positions uncomfortably in the hospital's reception. Her whole body trembled and ached physically and emotionally. She never knew her mum would leave such vaccum in her heart.Her sky blue shirt was stained with blood all over. She had tried to take her to the hospital herself but she was too heavy. She eventually ran to the gateman but Patricia was noway to be found throughout the afternoon.The doctors drove her out of the room and assured her she'll be fine. But the look on her aunt's face, Auntie Chioma, her mum's younger sister proved every word Blake's mum said wrong.She took her phone and tried Blake's number. Her cries welcomed him when he picked it."What's wrong? Talk to me Tiana!" He cried from the phone"My ..mum.. was.." her tears was more than her words."Your mum was wha
