The Good Kids

Simone.

Love.

That word was alien to my ears before he came along.

Before he came into my life,I was a numb, teenage girl. I was torn between good and bad. My mom always warned me against bullying but the popular girls I was "friends" with did it like a chore.

When Omotayo came into my life,all thoughts flew out of the window. Even though he hated me and he made snarky,rude comments,I was still drawn to him. You may call me weak but when ever Tayo is next to me,I am left disoriented. I loved him. This is my story.

Omotayo.

Love.

I didn't know a thing about it until she came to my life.

I was always transferred from school to school. I never had the chance to settle down. For the past six years, I didn't have friends because my parents were always moving. I made a decision not to get close to anyone in my new school...especially girls.

But when I saw her,all thoughts flew out of the window. She was beautiful and an angel. Me being rude to her is just a front.... but how long will I be able to keep it up?This is my story.

Harmony.

Bullied.

I was constantly being bullied. I was being bullied because my family weren't rich at all. The only reason I am at Richview is because I am on a scholarship and I am reminded everyday both at home and in school. But this horrible school was worth coming to everyday because of him. Damini Andrews was very handsome. He carried joy and laughter anywhere he went to, but what people didn't know was that he was hiding something underneath. I knew that because I had become accustomed to pain. I thought he would never notice me but I was wrong. For me,it was a spark of energy when he touched me for the first time. It was the beginning of a great friendship which later blossomed into a relationship. But it seemed my happy ending is not going to last,because immediately I am done with ss3,I am going to be shipped off to Ghana to work as a maid for money for my foster parents. Human trafficking,I know but there was nothing I could do about it. This is my story.

Damini.

Hiding.

That's what my life was all about.

Everyone knew me as the happy boy. The boy that could make you smile with just a joke. Inside, I was fighting a battle. My father was battling a terminal disease and we were going bankrupt. The pain I felt was unbearable.

But when Harmony came into my life,I felt genuine happiness. She made me smile with how she could blush easily. With how she can be funny without meaning to. She was the only person that could see beneath my mask.

But my newly found happiness was not to last as my parents were trying to matchmake me with Simone so as to boost the family business. What will happen to my Harmony?This is my story.
