~Adam~We went to the farthest corner of the Art Gallery. Most of my paintings weren't there and they were mostly happy pictures, sketches, and all by secondary school students. Nothing deep or overly intriguing. It's kinda exhausting to look at too happy pictures.It's kind of depleting.And not exactly depicting.Kunmi had not exactly said a thing since we got here, just looking at the pictures and following my lead."This is yours."She stated all of a sudden, almost startling me and I turned to look at the painting that she was talking about. It was a picture of a teenage boy staring out of his window, far into the horizon, at the setting sun. It was t I couldn't remember when I drew the picture or the inspiration behind it."Yes but then, how do you know t

                                 ~Adam~"I disliked you for a moment. I really thought you disliked Animal Farm."The frown that was starting to form on my face at her initial words turned into a full blown smile when she completed her sentence."Really?" I asked, turning the empty seat in front of her around so I'd be able to sit ejoor facing her. "So if I actually disliked Animal farm, you'd have disliked me?"She stopped what she was writing, her face ceasing into a frown before she nodded slowly."I guess."Wow. I smiled as I remembered Sophia who basically ignored Kunle and I for almost three weeks because we felt her Korean crush wasn't that fine. What's that dude's name again? The drama Sophia acted for us during that period. Babe yen senseless gan. But she's a very special person t

                                ~Kunmi~"People be damned Kunmi. You're hands down the most interesting, fascinating and beautiful girl I know. You're intelligent and deep that I always find myself looking forward to spending time and talking with you and the rest of the world doesn't know that, that's their loss, not yours."I blinked, once twice at his words. It's the most beautiful words someone has ever said to me but I did not believe it. Something that beautiful couldn't be true about me.I looked away from his face, from his eyes that seemed to want to drink me in, my heart thudding louder in my chest, to where he grabbed my hands, right on my wrist. I tried pulling away but his grip remained firmer, stronger even that I had to look up at his face again and yet, I was stunned by the intensity in his eyes.

  ~ADAM~I had no place to go in mind when I left our class but I found myself looking around, eyes searching for one person;Kunmi.She wasn't in the love garden so I guessed she'd probably be in the cafeteria which I seriously doubted because she couldn't have possibly gone alone.I climbed down the stairs and I found myself heading towards the cafeteria. The school's cafeteria was located behind the block of studios so I had to walk past them before getting there. I was almost in front of the music studio when my phone vibrated in my pocket and I brought it out only to see the name coz flashing on the screen.Just know that if I should die now, It's Charles' handiwork. I pressed the red button a

                                 ~Adam~There's always something about Kunle's house.Or home.The laughter.The laughter always seems to echo through the whole house, bouncing off the four corners of the whole house.The loud chatters never cease.The home this house embodies.I made a last-minute decision to follow him home instead of going home. It was going to be too toxic for me to return to that house anyway.Kunle wasn't his usual chatty self on the drive home. He figured out something was wrong with me when I missed all the classes and he knew better than to probe, him and Sophia. It went down the drain once and it wasn't a memorable time.It was the first time I understood the extent of the impact of Sophia's ange
