Family.The dictionary defines it as a group of peoples related by blood or marriage or even adoption.My family and I were basically strangers. My mother was only ever around when it was time to cook and visit other family members but asides from that, all she did was work.My father. The nice guy. The family guy. He was always around but we barely ever spoke, I was still scared of him, even though he seemed like a teddy bear. I only enjoyed the company of my cousins and aunts and sometimes uncles. Those were my closely blood related family in a cute way. They were always there to have fun and enjoy family stuff with.My real actual family. They were online. They were the weirdos I could count on, some of them from school, some of them from church, some of them from only God knows where.There was the obvious Glory, Maureen and Love. Then

It's been a week.A week since Daniel asked me out. A week of people asking me if i'd say yes or if I would shun Daniel or if we were already secretly dating.Most people went on to believe that I was this saint who would never accept Daniel, I'd heard countless people, while subtly passing by his class, tell him to quit on me. But Daniel was stubborn, he was worse than Eniola, he was worse than 7 goats combined, he told everyone of them that there was always a chance. 2 weeks ago, my answer was a sure no. Joesph was all I could ever think about but now. Daniel had proposed a deal. He would help me get Joseph by using his stupid theory and after some though, I believed it just might work. Ss2 Ekpe was always a hassle, students were sitting on the table, others were eating and some sleeping. It wasn't even break yet and the class looked like a busy cafe. Like Cen

A secret. IPA: /ˈsiːkɹɪt/(weak vowel) IPA: /ˈsiːkɹət/NounSecret(countable) A piece of knowledge that is hidden and intended to be kept hidden. [from late 14th c.]"Can you keep a secret?" "Yes." "So can I."The key or principle by which something is made clear; the knack.Something not understood or known.Me dating Daniel was not a secret. It only happened not less than an hour ago and it was infront of basically everyone, so my friends had no reason to give me the silent treatment. But this was Love, Glory and Maureen we were talking about. They were the most annoying and loveable people in the world and at the moment, they were annoying.Let me share a few details. Glory and Love were, how do I say this, extra good

My heart fell into my stomach as I spotted my father. He was so happy, how could that be? I believed father was devastated by mother's departure, but the man who was standing at the door looked nothing like he did all those days ago. Was my father no longer affected? He moved towards the other end of the cafe, dropping his phones onto a table and then taking a seat. He adjusted his red polo shirt collar and basically chewed on his lip as he waited. Was my father really fidgeting over a woman, my Lord what was this. A tinder date? My eyes were fixed on my father as I used a novel to cover the most parts of my face. I needed to get closer, close enough to hear what was going on. So, I gathered my stuff and subtly headed towards the toilet. I waited in one of the stalls for 5 minutes and then walked out. I subtly scanned the area, looking for somewhere to sit. A place with just enough distan

Not Edited"Are they watching us?" "Yes na. I know what I'm doing.""I was just making sure.""Whatever."I glared at Daniel as he rolled his eyes at me but still lightly twidling our fingers on the table. I could feel Joseph's eyes burning into the side of my face as Daniel pretend to whisper something into my ear. Lord please don't let a naval officer catch us. "Ss2's go to the hall o! It's commandants order!" My head whipped in the direction of our class door as I noticed a student quickly retreating as the ones in the class piled out. I adjusted my uniform as I got up, letting go of Danny's hand in the process.Once I was done, he quickly attempted to link our hands again to which I resisted. I was not getting punished for his actions. Funny enough, I'd
