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

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

Almost to the end of school hours, the PA system blared out. "This is your vice principal speaking. I'm here to announce what you all have been waiting for. The nominees for the homecoming crown this weekend." He paused as if to catch his breathe and then continued, "The nominees for the homecoming Kings are, our ruling king, "Alain netheridge."I glanced around and everyone's attention was glued to the PA system, except for some few who acted bored by the speech and would rather the speech ended so they could go about their normal business."Raynard Stormwind."I so desperately wanted to smile when I heard that name but the eyes that turned to Stare at me had me keeping it together."Jeremiah Hoffman."A girl scoffed beside me, "Wrong choice.""And the nominees for the homecoming queens are, Emem yonas."About 20 of the girls in the locker room turned to look at me. Foluke wasn't lying and I'm sure that wherever she was, she was grinning."Our ruling

I entered the kitchen fully dressed for school and anticipating dinner with Ray in the evening. Anyone with good eyes could see I was way too happy.I found Ray and Alaine sitting on the kitchen counter and my mum talking to Ray happily. For a moment I was taken aback. My mum would never let me sit on the kitchen counter but here she was, breaking rules. Wow, something definitely was wrong somewhere. And didn't Ray and Alaine have to go to school? Didn't Alaine have a calculus test with me?"Good morning mum." I turned to both boys on the counter, "Don't you guys have school to attend today?" I tried hard to keep my gaze from wandering to Ray, which it constantly did.Ray grabbed me by the waist unexpectedly, planted a kiss on my both cheeks and said, "That's no way to greet your boyfriend."I wanted to melt, right at the spot. The way he smiled made me realize he did that on purpose. I remained glued to him and sneaked a glance at my mom who was blushing ferociously
