...There was a moment of silence between us. After a while I broke it, "Okay, so Mr.Crazy, what makes you think that if you break up with Chiamaka, I'll date you?"

"You feel the same way about me", he said inching closer.

"What?" I asked my heart rate accelerating. 

"Don't you?" He asked. My breathing increased. His face was now less than an inch from mine. 

He tilted my head up a bit and I drew in a breath knowing what was coming.

Before I could properly process my next line of action, he crashed his lips against mine. 

I shut my eyes at the feel of his lips against mine. I tried to steady my breath as my heart raced in my chest. I felt the urge to kiss back, and somehow, it felt right at that point...

When Chiamaka became friends with Alya, the last thing she expected was for her boyfriend, Ifeanyi, to rekindle the suppressed feelings he once had for her new best friend.

Alya, a pessimist in the making, who lacks interest in a majority of things happening around her never expected her last year in highschool to be any different from the rest of her years in school. In simple words, she expected NOTHING to happen. But life doesn't always work out as planned as she has to deal with a terrible slip of a long time secret, a crazy best friend and a crush she's not so sure of coupled with a sudden uninvited guest. Could she have been wrong to imagine her final year in highschool passing JUST LIKE THAT.

She kept quiet for a while. "You're wrong about me wanting to see you. But you are right about something..." 


"I am not here because I want to see you"... 


"So why are you here?" I asked joining her on the bed. 


"Well, I was basically living in the jail of a home in Los Angeles. I could barely breathe in peace. That motherfucker wouldn't even let me step out of the house. 


"It became miserable when his divorce with my mom was finalized. It was just suffocating. So when I heard him talking to your mom over the phone one day, I got this great idea", she said. 


"They are still in contact?" I asked but then realized how stupid the question was but by then she had answered. 


"I guess, yeah. But I don't think they plan on getting together. Although I would love it if they did. Your mom is pretty cool and it would be great if she could live with us, the only problem is that asshole" 


"No fucking way! I am not living with you guys in Los Angeles", I said.
