WE WEAR JERSEY'S EVERY FRIDAY
"you bloody bitch." Mitchel snarled cornering me the moment I stepped outside the schools gate, "what the hell is your fucking problem?"
For a moment there, I was taken aback. "What have I done this time? Is this about your boyfriend again?""Oh please, shut up." A girl I hadn't seen before stepped around Mitchel.I quietly folded my arms under my chest and made to move when Mitchel pushed me with full force I tripped and fell making them burst into giggles.I got up and wiped the dirt off my clothes. "I'd just go now." I said quietly to them, "I do not want trouble.""Did you hear that?" The other girl mimicked, "I'd just go now. I do not want trouble.""Oh you don't want trouble?" Mitchel laughed, "let me guess. You didn't think about trouble, when you started flaunting yourself around my boyfriend?""Excuse you?" I said a bit shocked, "your boyfriend? That's like the most absurd thing I've ever heard.""You heard right. You think I don't see you? IBab terkait
The Boy Nextdoor I HATE YOY!!
The first hint i got that wearing the number two jersey was a little startling was the look on Alain's face as I passed him by on my way to school. He looked suprised but didn't say anything. He just looked at me.The treatment continued as I arrived school. I waved at some few friends and familiar faces. Because it was Friday a brief end to school activities for a few days, I felt elated and comfortable walking alone to my locker. But then, a group of footballers gave me the once overs and smirked a little. I was oddly disturbed and thought about the look of interest on their faces. Twas one of utter surprise.Then there was Mitchel and some of her cheerleading friends who noticed me and poked their friends to garner their attention untill they where all looking at me. I endured the stares walking down the hallway. Foluke had a lot of explaination to do.But I didn't even make it far.None other than Raynard stormwind was walking towards me and wearing the number tw
The Boy Nextdoor RAYNARD
"How have you been holding up, Raynard?" My mum asked, concern etched on her face."I've been good, mum. Better than I was in new york." I replied."I'm so sorry I had to leave that way. I got tired of everything, you're dad and his social status. I just didn't think I fit in. I wish I told you before I left.""I understand. I only wonder why it took you so long to realize you didn't fit in his world. How did you guys even get together in the first place?" I asked.I've been asking this same question for years and her answer everytime was very irrational. It didn't make sense."We where in love." She said, a tiny smile played at the corner of her lips, "Ray, he wasn't always like that. The man I married would never lay a finger on me. How that changed is what I'm trying to remember. Every night I lay in bed, my head gets filled up with those memories. And I hate that we had to bring you into this mess.""Please mum." I smirked, "I'm grown now. I'd be eig
The Boy Nextdoor YOU'RE WEARING MY JERSEY
"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 his

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,
