TEN YEARS LATER. Jewel's POVToday was the day. The day I'd be starting my job as a personal assistant in one of the biggest architectural companies in the city and in the country. I had gotten back from the states few months ago and I didn't want to lazy around, depending on my parents so I went job hunting and got a personal assistant job. Not what I wanted actually but it was better than nothing and the pay was very lucrative.Because of my excitement, I had woken up very early to get ready. I was staying at my parent's place pending the time I get my own apartment. Picking up my white towel, I entered to bathroom to observe my hygiene.About forty five minutes later, I came out, towel cladding from my chest downwards and one wrapped around my hair. I began to dress up, first of all applying lotion on my body before wearing my underwear and sat down in front of my dres
Heeding to Ayomide's advice, Henry had to stay away from Jewel and it became so noticeable. The news spread around school like wild fire and soon, everyone was talking about it. It felt strange to Jewel. She asked Henrietta about it but Henrietta had no clue. Henrietta was even more of annoyed than worried. Jewel really wanted to find out why Henry was barely giving her worded answered, ignoring her chats and so on. So she gave up trying even though it was hurting her.Pearl didn't go to Jewel and said " I told you so". No she didn't do that. Instead she stood by her sister and was always there for her. Henrietta, Teni and Chiamaka always veered off people that were always insulting her like Motunrayo and Lewa. Jewel was grateful for the kind of people she had around her.When Henry didn't give Ife any answers, Ife made do with her threat. She began to taunt Jewel, insulting her and punishing her. Pearl barely knew about this because she was
Second term began on the 15th of January and students began to resume to school from their respective homes. Since the school was a boarding school, all the students were expected to resume on Sunday except you have a good reason for not resuming with the rest of the students. The students resumed in their different house wears and the SS3 students who had resumed a week earlier were having tutorial classes because of their upcoming exam.Jewel and Henrietta were in Henrietta's room with Teni and Chiamaka. Jewel was on her iPad, chatting with Henry, a smile playing on her lips. What she didn't know was that her friends were watching her."Why are you smiling to your phone?" Henrietta asked, shoving Jewel slightly, a smirk playing on her lips. Jewel blushed."I wasn't smiling to my phone o." She denied, sitting up."Ehn o. As if we don't have eye abi." Teni teased."Don't mind h
The end of first term came quickly and they had their annual inter house sport to crown the semester up. Jewel's house came in first position because the house was filled with several good athletes. Soon, the students went home for the Christmas break. Jewel and Pearl already had bad blood between them and didn't talk to each other. Their parents noticed the tension between them and tried every means to stop it all to no avail. Pearl had practically given up on Jewel and had left her to herself. If she gets hurt by Henry then it's on Jewel, not on her. At least she did try her best to warn her sister. This was why she didn't want her coming to the school in the first place. The school will taint her innocence and even though she didn't show it, Pearl was worried about her sister. Jewel and Henry kept close contact with each other and were always talking. They weren't official yet, but they were getting there. Henry d
It was night prep one night when a Junior came to Jewel's class with a paper wrapped together. It was from Henry. The content of the letter said that she should meet him at the Visual art studio in the next ten minute. She got the message and waited for the time before she stood up from and seat and left the class room to the studio.Jewel got to the front of the studio and saw Henrietta waiting. She frowned."Henrietta." She called and the latter turned to her."Thank God, you were finally here. He is inside, he wants to see you." Henrietta chirped and Jewel nodded, opening the door and walking in the dim lit room. It was still quite so she could see her surroundings and she didn't miss Henry standing by the table. She smirked."Are you trying to be romantic?" She asked, teasing him. He chuckled in response and moved closer to her."Maybe. Am I doing a good job?" He asked her and she shr
Recap from the previous Chapter " Just follow my lead." Henry whispered and she nodded like someone in a daze. Henry smiled and leaned further in, brushing his lips to hers every so softly. Jewel sighed and relaxed her body, parting her lips for him to kiss her. She still couldn't believe that she was having her first kiss. This is really happening. She thought. "What the hell do you think you are doing!" An angry voice rang through the air and Jewel instinctively pushed Henry away. They both turned and looked at who had shouted only to see a fuming Pearl. ______________________________________________"What do you think you are doing!" Pearl screamed out, matching towards Jewel and Henry in rage. She was so furious you could see the fumes coming out of her ears and nose. Henry quickly stepped away from Jewel so that he won't get
