...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.

One Rocky Term

"Wow! You could have said you already considered me dead from the beginning since you found it so convenient to finally do something decent and get married and not inform your own mother! It's a shame. A huge one!" Gammy lamented. 


"What was the point of informing you when you neither like me nor the man I am married to? It wasn't as if you would fly all the way to California to attend the wedding." 


"I could care less about your marriage and anything else happening in your life but I am still your mother and should at least have the right to know. But it's fine. Totally fine. Alya?" She suddenly called turning to me. 


"Follow me to my room and help me unpack," she said and I nodded helplessly. A woman her age should probably not have much things that could be unpacked right? 


"She won't follow you anywhere! There are servants here to do that..." 


"I don't want strangers touching my things," Gammy said interrupting her daughter.
