It all began on a Monday morning. Sunny and pleasantly windy. A perfect example of a lovely weather in the city of Lagos, Nigeria.The sunlight illuminating Hakeem's room, danced in parallel motion on his chocolate brown skin.Monday, just like every other week day, meant school for an average student. But today is different for Hakeem, he isn't just going to school but 'The school.' Suggested by his parents, Hakeem was to start his final semester at the most elite school in Nigeria, 'Bloomfield highschool.' Known by all to be the number one school in the country for it's academic excellence and prestigious achievements. It was really a big day for the 18 year old."Honey, hope you preparing for school? You can't afford to be late for school on your first day." His mum voice echoed loudly causing Hakeem to jerk up from bed and dash into the bathroom.His mum has never yelled twice, once, followed by his dad's and Nige

Hakeem bewildered, watched as their lips parted slowly whilst still clasping hands*Wow so he is the boyfriend* he said underneath his breath. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable*We get it already, you in love.* He rolled his eyes and muttered softly. Drawing Jaden's attention towards him."It was good! Hakeem hear plays like a pro." Jaden replied, gently nudging Hakeem with his elbow"Oh, so new kid is good at football ?" She asked in a frivolous manner causing Hakeem to chuckle softly. "I try my best." She looked at him with a smile invading her cheek. "That's nice." She added, making Hakeem blush lightly as he gazed into her eyes in admiration.Jaden, noticing the blush on Hakeem's face quickly added to prevent what might be an awkward situation. "I'd speak to the couch concerning you joining our team Hakeem." Cutting in and grabbing his attention.

Gina was fair, tall and was beautifully shaped with small bright hazel eyes that complimented her pointed nose. She was a beauty to behold even while upset as she ranted."Oh, Just a friend and you are out hear? Can't you make your phone call in my presence? Why must you be out hear?

                           Sophia  ran out of the canteen and into the girls restroom where she bursted out in tears as she placed her hands on the zinc. She opened the tap and  started washing her hands. She paused and started sobbing, tears  streaming down her cheeks as she stared at her reflection in the mirror."Get yourself together Sophia, you don't need this now."She whispered to herself then placed her hands back to the running water, rinsing her face. She heaved out a sigh and walked out the restroom.Owen waited just outside the restroom and immediately blocked her path when she approached."What was that about?"

                        ** SOPHIA **         Sophia froze for a moment as she watched Ewa type the message.  Thoughts about how her scheme might play out sailed through her mind.She whispered softly. "Ewa, I don't think that's a good idea."Ewa rolled her eyes heaving out  a sigh of frustration. "What do you mean?

Who would you believe more? Your boyfriend or a girl who chatted you online two seconds ago?"Ewa rolled her eyes and sneered. "Duh, the girl online of cause.
