...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.

In that moment I was confused at what to think. Finally? Or perhaps feel a bit happy at not having to see her again. But as much as I tried, I could not feel excited. 


Worse still when I found out that she didn't just leave the house to go back to her home in California, I couldn't just get peace of mind. 


She did not even inform my mother before leaving. And she just left! I didn't know where to, no one knew. 


Firstly I was feeling guilty because of everything Chiamaka did at my birthday. I kept feeling as if I had wronged her. 


Then when I found out that Kylie only used us to get to her mom, I was beyond distraught. Her father, scratch that, our father blamed my mom because apparently she came to visit me in Nigeria and then went missing without a trace. 


But of course my mom didn't have time for his shit. I would give it to her, she handled situations perfectly although she didn't have a solution for this situation.
