"Ethan is sick?" I asked to confirm.  "Yep," Joshua replied, patting my back before leaving my worried self. Ethan is sick? How is that possible?' I questioned myself as I felt concerned for him.    I saw him this morning and he was looking hale and hearty. We talked as he even tried to convince me to come to the school hostel. I even forced him to revise his Biology. We concluded the Biology and the next thing was that he was nowhere to be found.    I quickened my pace as I hurriedly went to the sickbay. I walked slowly down the corridors of the sickbay when I heard some known voices of some of my classmates.     I moved towards the open

     It was Tuesday morning and right now, I am talking to my second female bestie,  Gloria, by the window side. The light air that blows gives me goosebumps as it finally dawned on me that today will make it the last day for the conclusion of our NECO examination.     Angst clouded my mind, mostly with anxiety and fright in my body, and to say my emotions are well figured out will be a lie.  "Earth to Michael", Gloria's voice jolted me out of my reverie, as I quickly put on a smile which she frowned at.    Her arms were folded and her expressions show that I have not been paying less attention to what she was saying.  " I'm sorry for the bre

    I felt a tap on my shoulder which brought me out of my reverie. I looked around only to see my younger brother's gaze on me, as I kept breathing in and out. I felt my heart do a backflip at the sudden realization that I imagined such a scene.  "Brother Michael, are you okay?", Mark, my brother asked with concern written over his face.    I take in a deep breath before slowly calming down.  " I am okay, something just came into my mind, that's all", I replied, putting on a fake smile.  "Oh! Maybe you should rest. You have been preparing too much for your POST UTME examination", he said and I nodded, smiling at his caring nature.

    I hugged my mum as if my life depended on it, I will miss her a lot. I have gained admission and today being January 11, which happened to be a Sunday, my dad and I are making a trip to UNILAG(UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS STATE). UNILAG, which happens to be my dream school, has finally accepted I, Oyedele Michael, into the Pharmaceutical Department.   My mum continued to pray for me as I was ready to take my leave for the city of Lagos.  "Michael, remember the child of whom you are. Please do not join any bad gang. Always remember to pray to God about everything in your life. He is your creator, always put that in mind. Please study hard", my mum counseled as I nodded, taking in her words.    Putting my travel bags in

   "I am afraid that..", I stopped my words as I bit my lips nervously at how I almost wanted to reveal a big secret of mine. The truth is that I am afraid that I would be attracted to him and there is a high tendency he would develop feelings for me. Just my instinct tho, which makes me feel tense right now.   I felt his scrutinizing eyes on me and I could not help but have beads of sweat on my forehead even tho it was around 11 am and the cool breeze was still blowing.  " Hmm, you seem to be hiding a lot from me. I do not blame you for that but I would not stop investigating", he said locking eyes with my figure.  "I think you should try to reconsider that. You might get in trouble looking through my life", I cautioned looking at him.   He scoffed and picked the fork as he fed himself a mouthful of the warm spaghetti. The food made its movement down his throat, as his A
