30: The food chain
ISSY (easy)/Amberdorn
Isabelle tapped Emily's shoulder, and she looked up. “What's wrong?" she asked.Emily hadn't been in Biology class, and only returned when the class ended and Mrs Douglas had left. When asked, Emily had replied she had been in the bathroom."The whole time?" Isabelle had asked, but Emily said nothing since their next teacher had already walked in."Nothing," Emily replied now.The final bell of the day rang. And this meant Isabelle had to be at Mrs Douglas' office before going to the library's storeroom, where her punishment awaited her."Why are you packing your bag?" Is

As soon as Miss April was gone, Isabelle's smile faded away as what Mrs Douglas had told her parents crept into her thoughts: immoral actions and indifference towards her studies. Of course, her parents wouldn't believe such. They knew her well to know she wasn't like that.The air grew chilly, bringing the one large window in the room to her notice as a shudder ran through her. "I see you're enjoying this," Joel said."Sorry?"Shifting her gaze from the window, a little to the left, she stared at him. He was still standing where he had been when she entered, a book now accompanying the clipboard in his hands. He shot her a look from under his eyelashes. The way his left cheek stuck out as his jaw tightened, fused with the serious look on his face, made her know he was upset. She waited for him to say something or repeat himself. But he kept

¶¶Am I inconsequential to it all,a random, forgettable moment in your delicate, pastel existence?~ John Casey¶¶As Loveth commenced pulling Olabisi's hair, heading towards the door, Nneka ran to grab a hold of her arm, which she dug her teeth into. "Yay! a aja ni yi girl (this girl is a dog o)!" Loveth exclaimed in Yoruba, rescuing her arm after Isabelle ran to pull Nneka away. Nneka then turned to grab Isabelle's bag, shaking her violently, as it was Olabisi's turn to grab the end of Loveth's braided hair. "What is going on here?!" Miss April demanded the moment she yanked the door opened.Isaac came from behind her to separate Olabisi from Loveth, whom had started to slap Olabisi's arm and face. Isabelle was then rescued by Miss April. "Oooh!" Loveth shouted, stomping her feet as she slapped Isaac's firm grip around her arm. "Lea

34: The face behind the mask
ISSY (easy)/Amberdorn
Emily hated this.There existed a video that ensured, if seen by her aunt, her head would be the first thing offered as a peace offering. She couldn't even let herself imagine how Isabelle would look at her, should the video come to light.Jessica's threat had been totally clear: either she cooperated or her adventure would be the next notification her aunt would receive on her Facebook account.At this point, Emily wished her aunt wasn't the type that kept up with her social media accounts. But that wish was a waste of time, because even on Sunday, after church, Aunt Jane had taken a couple of pictures of Emily and her cousins and also of them together, and had posted them on Facebook.Emily's shoulder collided into someone's, snapping her out of her thoughts. A face materialized before her and she recognised him to be Isaac.

His scent was unforgettable. She didn't know what cologne he used, but she was sure it had a mix of citrus in it."You truly are beautiful." She got goosebumps remembering how he had whispered in her ear, and how his words had made her feel beautiful.A soft smile touched her face."Ebere," her aunt called.She snapped out of her trance and looked at her aunt, who had turned from the steaming pot on the gas cooker to watch her with her hands on her hips.Thankfully, her aunt had brought the kids home, since she thought she'd be in school for after-school lessons. Emily would've gone to get them if

Emily lowered her head to get a view of David's face, and she saw his lips pucker like he was about to cry."She's always beating me on my back," he confessed. "She'll take me to an empty room and tell everyone I was going to help her with something. And that's when she'd flog me. Marks are even starting to form on my back."Her eyes widened slightly, but she recollected herself before he'd be wavered by her shocked expression. "Let me see them."David didn't like the idea and his face showed it. But Emily reassured him with a look.With shaky hands, he raised his shirt, turning his back to her. There was, in fact, healing line marks scarring the poor boy's back — about five bold marks if she were to count.Emily's eyes stung with tears.Mercy ran over to

¶¶In his eyes were lies,forged into truths.But behind his smilewere his intentions exposed~Amberdorn¶¶If you don't have Nigerian parents, who refused to understand why you didn't want to study medicine and surgery; who shouted a big ‘no’ to being a professional dancer, then do NOT speak to Jessica about Family, love or happiness.As she danced with fire in her eyes, sweating profusely with her T-shirt sticking to her back, she lifted her feet off the ground and landed awkwardly, consequently twisting her ankle.She massaged her ankle and groaned as her eyes became teary."Why do you dance like that?"

Jessica watched her brother rise to his full length and head for the door, where he stopped and turned back slightly. "And one more thing: Emily's not your pawn. If you involve her in any of your stupid games like you did with Loveth and Tope, trust me, your little playdate with Bankole won't be the only thing you'll have to worry about." "What do you know about Loveth and Tope?" she challenged. "Oh. Not much." He mocked her with a thoughtful look on his face. "Just that Tope was a scholarship student, Loveth's best friend, albino and Bankole's first love." Jessica felt blood rush to her heart with a thud. Tope was all of the above and her greatest threat. She had come with her smooth, white skin, giddy self and optim
