CAN I ATLEAST HUG YOU?
"Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're ready for a splendid night here on the Greenville football field, home to the Greenville wolverines!" An announcer said over the microphone. The Greenville home stands errupted into cheers as the school band rolled out the schools anthem.
In my entire life as an high school student, I'd seen seen such antics before. I was thrilled and excited at the same time. I felt really special wearing someone's jersey. Well, not just anyone's, Raynard stormwinds' jersey. I felt really special."Hey new girl!" Simi bumped fists with me. "How's baseball going?""Fineee." I drawed out."That's so great cause next time we're watching, it would be you on that field."I laughed, "till then."I followed everyone's lead and stood to my feet while clapping and yelling for the home team. My eyes instantly searched the crowd of football players for the guy whose jersey I was sporting. Number two, Raynard stormwind.The announcer cleared hisRelated chapters
The Boy Nextdoor YOU LIKE HIM
Immediately we got home, the first thing I said was, "Mum. Was it really compulsory that you mentioned to cassandra about her son's having meals with us? I personally think it doesn't make sense.""Cassandra didn't seem bothered about it, why should you? You're not their guardian or anything. Besides, it was a totally harmless conversation." My mum replied."Well, I'm just saying. Just imagine she was one of those mother's who picked offences with their children for eating outside." I rolled my eyes, "they would be in a steaming pot of soup right now.""Unfortunately, they're not. They're probably laughing over coffee or barbecue right now. And, quit thinking that way Emmy, this is America not Africa.""Whatever, mum. I just felt the topic wasn't necessary. I'll go up to my room." I took the steps one at a time."How about dinner?" Mum called."I'm not hungry. I'll just grab a few snacks." I called back."Shut the light in your room before you sleep, you
The Boy Nextdoor MOTIGBHASIONAL SPEAKER
Unable to sleep,I paced my room, both hands on my waste. I've done it. This one was worst than see finish. Exhausted from pacing, I climbed my bed and ended up tossing. I failed my village people. Where I come from, it's a crime to kiss a guy on the first date much less let him touch your boobs. You where seen as cheap. This was worst, we weren't even dating and he'd done more than seen.I couldn't take this. I needed to talk to someone. I picked up the receiver and dialed foluke's number. She picked on the third ring."Babe." I whispered into the receiver, "I've fucked up big time."She yawned into the receiver, a sign that I'd just interrupted her sleep."What did you do?" Foluke asked."It's not about what I did. I'm not attending Greenville High again.""What happened? You guys are moving out of the country?""It's not that. It's more complicated." I contemplated telling her the truth."What really happened? I wanna know why you ain't coming to sc
The Boy Nextdoor HE'S SMILING AT YOU
"still dreaming about Ray, huh?"I yawned and turned. This voices in my head wouldn't let me be."Wake up, girl. It's past eleven already.""Can't someone be at peace even in their homes. It's weekend, for the love of god." I sat up abruptly."You didn't think about that when you agreed to go shopping and talk about a little something over a cup of coffee." Foluke drew my ears."Well, I didn't." I retorted. "I want to sleep.""You're going. Stand up and go have your bathe. You stink.""Aaaaaarrgggh. I do not want to talk about anything over a cup of coffee anymore!" I fell face up on the bed and shut my eyes."Now, that's an expensive joke." Meredith chided, "If you do not get up ASAP, I'll be forced to empty the content of the bottle in my hand."I sneaked a peak to make sure she was joking. True to her words, Meredith held a steamy cold water over my head, the bottle uncorked. I sprang up immediately. "Don't you have a house or something?"
The Boy Nextdoor YOU LOOK FAZED
"you look like you're going to faint." Foluke informed me the minute Ray said his good bye and stepped out, waiting for his friend who was engrossed in a deep conversation with Meredith."Hi to you too." I snapped at her. Dragging a seat towards the kitchen counter, I laid my head down. Wishing it would stop aching. Twas like I had a full stadium in there. "I'm trying to sleep.""Emmy get up. Ray doesn't have that much effect on you, now, does he? Foluke said sounding like she was going to laugh."Seriously." I graoaned. "Let me sleep. It's not funny.""Seriously, what's going on?" Foluke asked."Didn't you see the way he looked at me? " I seemed frustrated, "I felt so stupid. I didn't even know what to say nor do. I've never ever felt so stupid in my life. I mean, practically the whole of yesterday night kept replaying in my mind.""I don't get it." Meredith joined in the conversation, "that's why you're fazed?""I'm not fazed." I said. "It's just that,
The Boy Nextdoor HOW INSECURE CAN YOU GET BECAUSE OF ME
I grabbed my notes at the first bell, signalling the start of first lesson. Gym class. Which meant two horrible things for me.Having to see Mitchell and endless running.I hated both. I was fit enough. I just didn't need an endless exercise in the morning to keep fit."Urrrrgh." It was frustrating plus the fact that I hated Mitchell made it worst. I mean, I got to see the girl every single second that pass by.Talk of the devil.Mitchell Wallked up to the gym teacher who stood close to me and asked, "please sir, can I lead the hurdle team?" All the while staring daggers at me.If I had a drink, I'd choke on it at how meek and humble she sounded. She wanting lead the hurdle team meant trouble would ensue in paradise. Seriously, if I had my way, I'll put a placard up that reads, "keep off! Danger zone." On her behind.*. *. *. *We ran the first lap with so much Jesus joy till about the time the whistle was blown signalling short break.I sat
The Boy Nextdoor WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LIKE ME?
This is unacceptable from both of you!" Mrs Davie, the principal who sat across from Mitchell and I said. "You both come from good homes and much is expected of you.""Mitchell? Good home? I would never bet my life on that." I said out loud. "Recheck.""I expected better," she continued, "from you, especially Ms. Yonas-""with due respect, Ma'am," I jumped right in, "you shouldn't be bias in judgement. Mitchell started it first by tripping me. If there's anybody to expect better from, it's her."Her lips turned at the corner. "Well, yes, Ms. Yonas. I know how true that is. Like, you've been getting perfect grades and all the teachers have got good things to say about you." She said."Favouritism much?" Mitchell scowled. "Mrs Davie, she clearly started the fight. There should be some kind of punishment for her." She flared."Ohhh Mitchell, shut your hole up." Mrs Davie said, "I know you tripped her, I mean, what where you expecting? And if anybody's too be pun
The Boy Nextdoor ALL THAT SHARING OF SALIVA
You would think the gossip column would actually let this one slide? Well let me tell you, by the time I limped out of the hospital wing, Ray holding me around the waist, the news was everywhere. Foluke ran all the way down, holding a copy of the gossip review. With a curt nod towards Ray, she asked ,"What the fuvk happened? How did you get into a fight with Mitchell?""Long story." I said, watching her through the corner of my eyes, eyeing Ray's hand around my waist. This was not good."Bisola and Meredith nkor? Left already?""Nope. Left them in the locker room to come look for you, but was greeted with the shock of my life. Rosa stood in front of the gym, selling copies of this." She held up a copy of the magazine, so I could see it very well. "Normally, I wouldn't even let myself be concerned as to why Rosa would publish the column on a Monday, but then I remember it's Greenville and how anything is possible. I took a step closer and this caught my attention."She han
The Boy Nextdoor IT'S NOT OFFICIAL
"I can't believe you beat Mitchell to it. Girl, you're votes were the highest!" Foluke gave me a warm embrace the moment I got to my locker."Beat Mitchell to what? " I rolled my eyes, "please I don't want trouble with that girl.""Are you scared?" She held me by my shoulders, "wait till you hear the full gist.""Which is?" I was so not interested. Seriously, my resolution beginning from yesterday was to avoid Mitchell like the headache. Just hearing her name was enough headache."You beat Mitchell to the crown for homecoming queen!" She yelled. "We're seriously going shopping girl.""Wait, that's the reason for the little circles and groups?" I recounted."Yes. Girl, it's big news here o. See eh, you and Ray have been nominated for crown followed by Mitchell and Alain." She squealed excitedly."Oh." I said simply."That's not all o." She stopped to catch her breathe, "The homecoming ball is a happening thing. Also, before the date's being announced,
