I have decided to let him go. I do not deserve him. The new girl can have him.
Dressed in my elegant uniform, sitting on my well-laid bed. I apply a little bit of lip gloss to my soft lips.
I like to think that I am very beautiful. I have it all. Beautiful, soft, smooth, brown skin. Dark, full, naturally healthy hair. I get praises every day on Instagram for my lips and attractive eyes.
So I really don't get it. What does she have that I don't?
SARAH'S POV.I remembered how angry Christabel looked today at the cafeteria and I couldn't stop the mischievous smile that crept up to my lips.The fact that only Michelle ran after her, made me smile even more.I am just getting started and she's already very mad. The other guy which I didn't know until today, was really creepy. He kept mute the entire time. I was surprised to find out he is Jeff's twin brother. They are unidentical not only in physique but also in their characters.Jeff is the lively and popular one while George is really weird and he never speaks. I have never seen him with anyone except his brother, Ade, Michelle and Christabel.When I returned from school, I spent a lot of time texting Ade. Well, he said we needed to catch up. He didn't mention the dinner and it made me wonder if he was going to come with his parents. Mum said he was going to come so I didn't mention it to him either.“Baby, you should start getting ready. Your father won't be available tonig
AMARACHI'S POV.Whoever wrote that article in the school's student journal must be very stupid. He/She probably has a personal issue with Christabel.Nothing in that article is right. Christabel never begged Jeff to have sex with her. This crazy!Who would have done this? I don’t think Jeff did this but apart from Ade, Michelle and me, no one else knows that Christabel likes Jeff.Taking one more look at the article, I hissed and annoyingly left the page. The comments were very nasty. I wonder what might be going on in her mind right now. I tried contacting her phone is switched off. It has been switched off since yesterday night.I need to see her. I tapped on the W******p app to check if she was at least online. I just need to be sure that she is okay. I checked the status updates and one particular status caught my attention.He didn’t send any text since morning. Which is really weird, considering the fact that he has been sending me texts every day, ever since the “almost kiss”
Christabel sighs for the umpteenth time and attempts to turn around again.She has been standing at the gate of CROWNSTAR HIGH SCHOOL. Scared to her bone. The students of CROWNSTAR HIGH SCHOOL can be so brutal with their words.At this point, she needed her friends. Michelle had gone MIA since Friday. She didn't want to disturb Amarachi. She had done enough. Giving her a shoulder to cry on and being so supportive.Christabel suddenly makes up her mind to miss school for the day. She turns around and her body collides with a firm body. She could recognize this Cologne anywhere. Without looking up to confirm the identity of the person, Christabel tries to turn sideways and escape.“Where are you going to? Shouldn't you be in school? Are you being bullied?”Christabel hissed loudly. “And what are you feeling like right now? Look, I can not stress this enough. Mind your fucking business, Jeff!”“I know you are hurt and angry but allow me to be your friend even if it's just for today. Yo
CHRISTABEL'S POV.Michelle ignored my existence throughout the day. She acted like she did not see me, even when I sat beside her during history class. She did not say a word to me and I need an explanation. This is the very first time something like this would happen. Michelle is more than a best friend to me. We have been there for each other during hard times. It was really hard to ignore the side talks and hateful glare that my classmates threw my way. The school was looking very dry because almost all the students had started going home. I sat on the bench outside our class, waiting for Amarachi and Michelle. I had texted Ade and Jeff to meet me here, a few minutes ago. I could not talk to Michelle because she was giving me attitudes so I pleaded with Amarachi to cajole her into coming here. “Hey, bel. What's up? Where are the others?" Jeff asked. Jeff and Ade, are here already. “I do not know what is taking them so long but they should be here very soon.”I just hope Amarac
AMARACHI'S POV.Maybe I overreacted. Maybe I am really trying to take her best friend away from her. Maybe I should just suck it up and stop ignoring Ade. it is not his fault that he does not like me.Those were the thoughts replaying in my mind. After the confrontation in Michelle's house, I did not even wait for the others. I walked to the bus stop in anger. I was really angry and disappointed. I thought we were friends and she was there ignoring me just because of a silly thing. Why would she think that way? Have I done anything to give her the impression that I am trying to "steal" her best friend? I have also been ignoring Chris since the episode that happened at Michelle's house. I did not want to do that but it feels as though I am the reason for the fight between her and Mich. it just feels so weird. I didn't want her friendship with Mich to shatter just because of me. Mich did not even try and reach out to me. What was I even expecting her to do? Maybe apologise to me? Wel
AMARACHI(Amarachi Edwards)"This is the fifth school you're rejecting today." my mum said. She looked really frustrated and stressed. My mum is a single parent. My Dad died when I was still a little child. We just recently relocated from our former house so I had to change school.We lived in the rural part of Lagos State and I was looking for the best school around the house. I didn't want a school far from home. I had already written down the list of schools in the area and the next school on the list was, "CROWNSTAR HIGHSCHOOL", the school sounds interesting though. "I think we should go back home and come back tomorrow because I'm really exhausted." my mom began, a tired look on her face. I sighed and said "the next school on the list sounds attractive, I think I'd like it. Let's just check it out and I don't like it, we'd continue tomorrow." I said to my mom. She hesitated for a while but she agreed. CROWNSTAR HIGHSCHOOL really looks as attractive as the name. The environment w
AMARACHI's POV.You look bored. Lunch break would begin anytime soon. Let me tell you more about myself." "Oh, that would be nice.""My name is Christabel Edwards. You already know that. I'm 16. I love talking a lot if you haven't noticed."Oh, I have noticed dear.I smiled at her, encouraging her to go on. "I really want to be a model, a popular one. I have a crush on Jeffrey. He's so gorgeous." She said dreamily, blushing. "Uhm, don't you think that it's too extreme." She looked at me, a frown on her beautiful face. "I mean you just met me. You don't even know me. What if I told someone that you have a crush on this Jeff guy, wouldn't you be embarrassed or something?" She started laughing immediately after I said that."Oh, t,hat? I don't really care, Amara. I even asked him out but he said he would think about it." What the heck!?? This girl is crazy!!"What if he rejects you?" "He wouldn't dare." She smirked."You must really like him. Does he feel the same way?" "Yes, he's
CRISTABEL's POV."where were you, Jeffrey? I have been waiting for 20 minutes now." I was so pissed. Amarachi might have thought all that she said was funny, I didn't find it funny. It seemed as though she was seeking attention."Christabel, I know why you called me. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." He looked nervous."It's fine. Look, Jeffrey, I like you. Isn't it obvious? I want you to be my boyfriend. You can have as much time as you want to think about it. I'm not going to put any pressure on you. I know you like me too, you're just shy." "Chris, we've been friends since we were kids. We are better off as friends. I don't have any romantic feelings for you. You are like my best friend, and I don't want to lose you. Please try to understand me." Jeffrey said while holding my hands. I shrugged his hands off. I was trying so hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in my eyes. I have had a crush on Jeffrey since we were kids. It's even more than a mere crush now. I love
