Un-Cupid

Hey, Asa listen to me, we're in this together a'it? Please stop crying"  Abel said over the phone trying to calm her down.Her crying reduced to sobs then sniffles. "How is school?".  He asked trying to change the topic."Hey, Abe, you won't believe what happened today"  she said sitting up to give him the full gist about how she savaged Tunde."Asa open up or I'm coming in"  Adenike said opening the door without waiting for a reply. "I'll call you back"  she said to Abel before hanging up.  "Was that Abel? Let me talk to him na."  She said pouting.  " I hung up already. What's up?"  Asa asked going back to her sitting position after closing the door."Mum said we're going to the cinema this evening since you'll be gone by tomorrow" she said not noticing the shock on Asa's face.  "Has sh

Make sure you pray and always read. I love you and I'll miss you." Ms. Titilayo said before hugging Asa. "My baby is off to boarding school, first Abel, now you" she said releasing her."Mom don't worry, very soon this troublemaker will be gone too. "Asa said pinching Adenikes cheek. They had all come to drop her off. Azubuike stood to the side with his hands in his pocket.He would miss Asa but he couldn't get all emotional about it. He was the man of the house and he had to keep it that way. "See this one forming strong guy. My friend come and hug Asa jare." Adenike said dragging him into the scene."Be good a'it? I love you" she said hugging him. He rolled his eyes."Considering the fact that you're the one doing foreplay with Clinton, I should be telling you to be good." He said smirking."Ishi..." She said smacking the back of his head. "Ewu.." He replied pinching her arm

"I'm so tired." Asa said dropping her bag on the floor in her corner before climbing her bunk. "Babe come down. You know this is sports time" Grace said changing into her sportswear."Alright. I'm coming" she said sighing before coming down. "Babes, guess what?" Shola said running into the room."Wetin?" Grace asked rolling her eyes. "Omo, We dey play 100 things with boys today" she said excitedly. "For real? Oya na.. Lets go there" Grace said picking  pink flip flops to wear with her sportswear.Asa brought out her sportswear and scrutinized it. Their sportswear was a purple polo with white shorts. Everyone loved Thursdays where they could show off their sportswear and turn heads. "This looks so hot on you" Shola said when Asa finally put on the sportswear. She snorted and turned to her box to pick out a canvas to wear.

Shola, Asa, Grace and Elizabeth walked to school fake smiles plastered on all their faces except Asa's."I can't do it Liz" Asa said frowning."Girl turn that smile upside down. You gotta fake it till you make it." Liz said tugging at Asa's cheeks trying to make her smile.She pushed Liz's hand away and sighed. "Just hope I don't see Clinton today" she muttered as they reached the senior block.They walked upstairs to the ss3 side  before going their separate ways.Grace and Asa stood at the front of their class as Asa tried to calm her nerves."Edidiong wants to see you" a voice said she turned and her eyes met his intense gaze.She stared at him with eyes full of longing. Desire flashed in his eyes before he looked away and repeated himself."Grace I said Edidiong wants to see you" he said putting his hands in his pockets before w

"Dad.. I've missed you" Asa said running to hug her dad. "Baby girl,  how have you been?" He asked pulling her cheeks."I'm fine. But why are you here?" she asked. Her dad never came for her birthday rather she'd travel to meet him during the holidays and they'd celebrate it there."I just wanted to see you and Abel insisted" he said stepping aside to reveal her brother.Abe, I missed you I ..."  She was cut off by someone suddenly bursting into coughing fits.Everyone turned and saw Shola on the floor coughing like her throat was about to come out."Is she OK?" Abel asked referring to Shola. "Don't mind her, she's fine. Let's go and talk" she said leading him out of the hostel to the verandah.Since the proprietor wasn't around, the matron let her go out dressed in her sweatshirt and shorts.
