    I drummed my fingers on the book as I wrote down a story, I love writing, mostly scripts.
    Fransisco promised to help me bring one of my story to life if only I can finish one, I always stop halfway out of lack of inspiration but this time I had a new inspiration…. Me. I was writing about me and Ace to see where it takes me.

    “I looked unto him, the jolly Greek god battling with the assignment I gave him with much meticulousness. His progress earlier in class left him with more zeal to learn and boast to his sisters who he claims were smarter than motherboards, especially the one he called Babianca. His hair flew in the accord of the wind, his lips puckered up and his canines deep into his bottom lip. His eyes were wide and big, far away but filled with determination and zeal. I don’t think the guy knows how adorable he looks with that expression; like a sulking puppy or a purring baby kitten.’ I wrote down. I looked at Ace again and giggled, he was killing me with his look. I laid in the grass, my phone beside me. He sat on his table, quite far from me.

    He was trying really hard to solve the chemistry problem.

    He wiped off the beads of sweats from his forehead and sighed, itched his head with the bottom of his pen and prechecked his work. I watched him with so much amusement, my heart fluttering and stomach churning with an unknown feeling. He nodded after checking it and smiled proudly.
    ‘Done!’ He announced, he rushed to me and sat on the grass too. I took his book and glanced through it, my eyes and brain were fast enough to go through his work. I marked the seven assessment I gave him, five correct. ‘Just like that? You just glanced at it!’

    ‘I know, I was fast enough to….’
    ‘No, check it well.’ I sighed and dropped my red pen, I picked up the blue and solved everything again in five minutes.

    ‘See? You failed two, that’s great,’ I said with a nod.

    ‘Show off,’ he murmured and snatched my left hand. ‘Are you left handed or right?’ He asked caressing the back of my palm with his thumb. My churning stomach increased, my cheek slightly changing color momentarily. ‘Yesterday you used right but today you’re using left, what’s up?’

    ‘I’m originally left handed but I learnt how to use both. I used right to eat, do every other things but I use left to write. That’s what’s up.’

    ‘You used right yesterday,’
    ‘I use right for minor stuffs like marking and pointing and writing notes and memos but when writing really long stuff, I use my left.’

    ‘Your friend is left handed, Savannah.’

    ‘Yeah, her grandpa and father are left handed. My mom is the left handed one, my brother’s right. Do you just observe people’s hands?’

    ‘Sorry, it’s an habit. My entire family is left handed, serious genetic trait from my mother’s side. In her family, one must be left handed, she was the left one and her father was the left and his father to his father to his….’

    ‘I get it.’

    ‘I should have been the only left handed since the first or second child gets it but my dad is also left handed, strong gene as well only that his is selective, picks randomly. In conclusion, we’re The Left Choir.’

    ‘Left Choir?’ I asked laughingly.
    ‘Don’t look at me,’ he shrugged. ‘Blame it on Salvador.’

    ‘About that kid, he’s really rude….’
    ‘Just stubborn and knows too much for his figure. He’s the sweetest, only arrogant when you come between him and food, long hour of PS4 gaming and sleep. He’s dad in a small form, can be bossy sometimes….’ He stroke his chin. ‘Now I think about it, he has dad’s commanding vibe, Tatiana, him and I do but Tia’s stronger. No, I am, I just don’t have the strength to yell and command my little sister.’

    ‘I really wanna meet her,’ I said shyly. ‘Is she proud?’

    ‘If she was, I wouldn’t have came back for you,’ he smiled. ‘Are we done for today?’ He asked tiredly. I shift his English book to him, I opened the book and tapped the page. ‘I can spell, anybody can spell.’

    ‘Find the different meaning of each words, write out sentences of each meaning, three each and then skilfully construct an essay consisting of all the words.’

    ‘That’s not necessary!’

    ‘It’s what I want, get on it.’ He sighed and stood up, went back to his table. I continued writing, he later submitted. Pass the meanings, ace the sentences but failed the essay.

    ‘I’m tired,’ he whined after I set out to teach him physics. ‘I don’t even need physics.’

    ‘As long as your field is science, you do.’

    ‘I’m tired, I’m going to swim.’ He walked off.

    ‘Ace!!! Come back here!!!’ He gave me his middle finger, I huffed and followed him. He walked to a large stream and took off his shirt. My mouth fell open as my eyes widened, his muscles flexed and eyed me. He had tattoos imprinted on his arm, “family” written on his shoulder blade. Chest oh glorious chest, best, magical best one. He winked at me, glad he could make me dumb.

    ‘Wanna go for a swim princess?’ I couldn’t reply. He shrugged and unbuckled his belt, my head was ringing but I wanted to see. ‘Are you not shy?’ Still couldn’t answer, I was gaping shamelessly. He shrugged and slid down his pants, my eyes turned as I smiled like an idiot.

    “Magenta!!!!!” My subconscious yelled. I looked away and ran back to the tree, I sat down and quickly wrote it down with a beating heart.

    “After hours of lecture, the Greek god decided to go for a swim to cool of. I wasn’t pleased with that idea since I still had some few more subjects to guide him through so I followed him and I damn regret it. He took off his shirt, I got front roll seat to perfection. Will I ever have him to myself? Can he ever be mine? Everyday I’m reminded on why I can never be with him, everyday I’m force to drown in my own growing feeling yet I know that getting him is all up to me. There’s power in a woman’s words, touch and actions. My best friend’s mother, Ariana once told us that no matter how strong a man is, a woman can bring him down with careful planning and just herself. If I want him, it was all in my hands but do I really need it?

    I weigh the scales, what did I have to lose? I had nothing to fight with but yet I had enough people to fight for me. Amaya would kill for my happiness, Fransisco would reluctantly help me and I was gaining his second best friend’s trust. In a way he was starting to trust me, he was leaning on me unknowingly. They say I’m easy to talk to, easy to bend so what do I have to lose? I want to be happy, prove to all my haters that anyone can amount to anything if they just believe and have the right words and touch. Pushing aside the warning in my head, I risked it and stood up, I was going to swim too and show him that Apple Berry Ryan has some packages too.” I smiled and dropped the pen, I changed the names in the story. I stood up and walked back to him.

    ‘You came back,’ he laughed as he played in the water. ‘Come on in Genital.’

    ‘I rather not,’ I smiled. The plan was to have him force or compel me in so he won’t be so suspicious. ‘
    ask you questions from here and you’ll answer it, okay?’ He nodded. ‘If a man weighing 60 pounds fall off the balcony of the tenth floor in a skyscraper building, at what degree of speed would be fall and the exact minutes it would take him to hit the ground?’

    ‘I don’t know,’

    ‘Solve it in your head.’ That was what we did, he answered sixteen questions, got eleven. He was improving, intelligence must be a family thing.

    ‘Now, won’t you come join me?’

    ‘Won’t you get out? Your skin will wrinkle,’

    ‘My skin has a high tolerance, I can be here for extra 30mins before effect kicks in. Advantages of having a thick smooth skin and using good body lotions.’

    ‘I don’t have good tolerance, one hour and I’m a terrible swimmer,’ I confessed.

    ‘Don’t worry, I won’t let you drown….’ I scoffed at his flirtatious wink. ‘Trust me.’ I puffed out air through my nose and smiled.

    ‘I really will kill you if you dare let me die,’ I threatened as I plucked out the buttons on my button down shirt dress. I slip the gown off, letting it drop on the ground before stepping out of it. Luckily, I had a singlet on and thin shorts. ‘Turn around.’

    ‘Must I?’

    ‘Ace,’ I snapped. He rolled his eyes and entered the water, I could tell he was still spying. I skillfully removed my bra and hid it under my dress before diving into the water. I swam out and gasped for air. ‘Too cold!’ I swam to shore but he held me back. ‘Ace, I’ll catch a cold…’

    ‘Chill, you’ll be fine.’ He assured me placing my hands on his shoulders. We stared into each other’s eyes in silent, it was….whoa.

    ‘Ace,’ I snapped, his hand was going somewhere, I love it but Savannah said to be strong and resist everything he do. ‘Don’t touch me.’

    ‘Sorry,’ he removed his hands from my waist and smiled. ‘How long can you hold your breath?’
    ‘Almost four minutes,’

    ‘Can you manage four?’

    ‘If I try hard enough.’

    ‘You swim fast?’

    ‘Bad swimmer, I can hold well in currents but not good with speeds.’

    ‘Can you keep up to a fast swimmer if he’s holding you?’ I nodded. ‘Good,’ he turned me around and tightened my hands around his neck. ‘Hold your breath and hang on.’

    ‘Where are we going?’

    ‘I’ve shown you my world, one more won’t hurt,’ I smiled sheepishly, that made me feel special. I took in a deep breath and held it before he dived in. The water was dark, I couldn’t see a thing but he sure knew where he was going. I closed my eyes, I couldn’t open it for long. I could feel he swam into somewhere because the place felt shallow. I was running out of oxygen, he was swimming very fast. Keen wind hit my face as he burst out, I puffed for air and held him tighter. He dragged me to shore and placed me down gently. ‘Eyes,’
     I tried to open them but it burns, he rubbed it with his wet hands. ‘Again,’ I opened my eyes.
    ‘Oh-my-God,’ I counted and sat up. ‘What the….’
    ‘Welcome to my crystal cave,’ he said delightfully. The whole place was made out of something not crystal nor diamonds but definitely rare and worth fortunes. The place glittered, the pink and violet gem flashing. ‘I discovered this myself three years ago, I don’t know what it is but I call it crystal. I’ve never used it once, I’m keeping them for emergency, future emergencies. Maybe if I get disowned, go bankrupt or just need to get more money.’

    ‘Is it worth much?’ He nodded.
    ‘Sold a little piece once, the buyer said it’s something like a crystalline diamond or whatever that big grammar is but it’s worth a lot.’ I looked at the place in amazement, water dripping making beautiful music.

    ‘Why? Why show me?’ He shrugged.

    ‘I don’t know, I trust you more than I’ve ever trusted anyone,’ he smiled. ‘I’ve only known you for three weeks.’

    ‘Time flies,’ I smiled. ‘Thank you, for showing me.’ He smiled back and for that moment, his eyes flashed with so much emotions before he looked away.

    ‘Let’s go back now, we can stop at your dad’s restaurant and drink soup, he got soup, right?’

    ‘None that would suit your taste but I do know a place we can get just the right amount of pepper,’ I said smirkingly. He grinned.

    ‘Bring it on.’

    THREE HOURS LATER
    “….he laughed me ever so merrily, it wasn’t my fault that hot soup got into my eye and turned it red but the wizard care less. I forgot others misfortune gives him joy but however, when my eye started hurting again, he panicked and took me to a hospital where I was given special attention. The doctor said I was lucky, it could have been worse but fortunately, I had stubbornly worn my lens back to annoy him and that saved me from serious damages. The soup was really hot.

    The doctor insist I stay home and not carry out any activity that includes stressing the eye so I’ve been warned to stay home. I now have glasses, temporary but is only to be use when I want to read or when my eye feels irritated. You should have seen the way he was allover me, he cares about me Amaya almost teleported through my phone when I told her, she was with Seb which was not surprising by the way. She cried but I’m sure he’ll handle her.

    In conclusion he brought me home, almost dragged me to his but considered dad who wasn’t around, thank God. He was worried when he came back but everything’s fine now, except me risking it and writing. I learnt three things today.

    Fear is the heart of intimidation and low self-esteem. It plays with one’s mind, bend it and make them feel bad about themselves, no faith. If you don’t believe in yourself who will?

    Confidence lies within every soul, one just gotta dig deep and bring out their inner bitch, that bitch that makes them invincible.

    Three, Ace Davison can be mine if only I use the right static and trust me, I will.

    The maid followed the warriors into OKU village. She wanted to see and know where they are taking the princess to. At a point the warrior head stood and turned back, and the warriors asked him what was wrong. He told them that he felt they were being followed, and after looking round for a while they continued.


    The villagers on seeing them greeted them. Some were excited to see them, others were frowning their faces at them but they still greeted. There were murmurs among some old women and men, some were pointing at the little girl that AGUYI carried on his neck but no one dared to ask any question. The warriors proceeded on their way to the palace, with the maid running and hiding behind. And just about four more huts before the palace, the warrior head ordered them to stop.


    Aguyi: what is it this time?


    Warrior head: we are being followed.


    Aguyi: I thought you’ve said that before….


    Warrior Head: This time, I’m certain, we are been followed.


    Aguyi: But who will dare follow a group of warriors coming from battle and at what aim?


    Warrior Head: relax Aguyi my friend, we will soon find out.


    With this he turned and started walking backwards with his eyes rotating round and round in search of whoever or whatever was following them.
    The maid was terrified, she couldn’t run. And there was no good place to hide. And the warrior head was approaching her direction. She knew this time she would be caught and if she is caught she will be killed, so she decided to step out instead of waiting to be caught. Buy just as she was about to do so, she saw a woman open the room to her hut and signalled her to come in quickly. Without thinking twice the maid ran into the hut and shut the door.
    The warrior head looked round the whole place and saw no one.


    Aguyi: Have u satisfied yourself now? Please can we just ho to the palace, I have a wife to return to.


    Warrior Head: I still don’t understand this, I could have sworn that we were been followed.


    Aguyi: thank the gods you didnt swear, now let’s go.


    And they all proceeded to the igwe’s palace. The igwe and some of his cabinet were sitted. The warriors knelt down and greeted the igwe.


    Warrior Head: Long live the king. Igwe we have gone to the land of EKEH, and we have done that which you ordered. King Obama, his wife and all his people are dead. Not a life was spared, and no property was conserved!


    King AZAZA:And the little girl with you? Who is she?


    Warrior Head: This is the only survivor of EKEH kingdom, the only daughter of king Obama. We don’t know how she managed to escape from the village during the war. But we caught her why she was still running. Her brother the Prince and heir to the throne of EKEH, is already dead. We do not know what to do with her hence we brought her back for you the igwe to decide.


    Princess: So you are the king who ordered that my father and mother be killed, the gods will jot spare you.


    King AZAZA: shut up you insolent brat. (Turning to the warrior he said) take her to the back of the palace and tie her there until I decide with my chiefs what to do with her.


    Warrior Head: yes igwe. (Turning to Aguyi) follow me .


    And they took the princess to the back of the shrine and tied her down. As they left, Aguyi turned and looked at the little girl once more. He was surprised at her bravery and how she could talk to king AZAZA. No one in the village dare soeak out when AZAZA coughs and yet this small girl talked back at him. He admired her bravery and strength.


    Warrior head: Aguyiiiiii, what are you thinking of? I thought you said your wife was waiting,


    Aguyi: of course she is (he replied as he turned and walked away)


    The elders and king AZAZA sat and deliberated on what to do with the little girl. Majority suggested that she should be soared since she was just a child, but a few suggested that she be killed along side with her parents. Amongst them was chief Obi, a known wicked man in the village but best friends with the king because of his ability to bring gossips and stories to the igwe.


    Chief Obi: Igwe, it’s not like am not having human sympathy o, or I don’t know the girl is just a child o, but you see children like this, they carry grudges for long, see the way that girl spoke to you our own igwe some moments ago, it shows that she has a tough spirit. Do you think if you keep her alive she wouldn’t hate you? Or want to avenge her family in the future?
    Igwe I would say we kill her for your own safety o, and that of your children and this village at large. That girl is a viper and we one day strike if we don’t do anything right now. (As he spoke he made more sense to the igwe then those who suggested that the princess be spared) and so once again king AZAZA made up his mind to kill the princess by midday the next day.


    He would make the announcement in the morning. He dismissed the elders and went straight to his room, he knew his son NNAMDI will want to oppose him and right now that was the last thing he needed.

    Princess: wait, wait, please wait, I am tired, I am thirsty, I can’t run anymore, I want water.


    Maid: My princess, please just a little farther, we cant stop now.


    Princess: But I’m tired, I can’t go further, I need water.


    Prince: Even me, I need water.


    Maid: Okay let’s rest for a while, before we continue. Maybe we will get water on our way.


    But then the prince began to cry, from the look on his face, one could see he was really dehydrated.


    Princess: Aunty we ran past a stream a while ago, I saw it when we were running, why don’t we go back and drink from there.


    Maid: my princess, its too risky, we can’t go back. We have to keep going forward.


    Princess: But I really need water, and my brother needs water too.


    Prince: Yes! I need water


    The maid thought for a while and then decided to go back and get water for the children. But just as he was about to leave the Prince started crying, he didnt want her to leave and the maid didnt want all of them to go together. But he didnt want to let her go and since she didnt want the princess to go alone she decided to let the children follow her.


    When they got to the stream, the had enough water to drink and set on their journey. The maid carried the Prince and asked the princess to walk as fast as possible.


    While they were going, the princess saw an empty keg on the ground and picked it up. ”I could fill this keg with water ” she thought to herself, and without telling the maid she ran back to the stream to fill up the keg with water. The maid had gone a little forward before realizing that the little princess was not with her.


    Maid: my princess, my princess, she shouted and ran back towards the stream.


    Meanwhile princess had already filled the keg and was running back to the maid and the prince. Just as she was running, she tripped on a wood and fell on a small pit, she let out a loud cry. As she was struggling to stand up, a big hand pulled her out from the pit. The maid already got there but immediately she saw them she kept quiet and his behind the bushes pressing her hand against the mouth of the Prince.


    Warrior Head: Young girl who are you and what are you doing in these part of the bush.
    The princess was terrified, because she knew and recognised them as OKU warriors. The same people they were trying to run away from.


    Princess: I I I, I I came to get water. She said raising the keg of water on her hand.


    Just then the warrior saw the royal ring that king OBAMA had given to her…


    Warrior Head: aha! So its you, guys, he called out to the other warriors. ”guess who we have here?”


    The rest of the warriors gathered around to see what their head was talking about.


    Warrior Head: its the princess, daughter of OBAMA, handed over into our hands by the gods themselves.


    One of the warriors, looked at the little girl in surprise and asked. ”This is the princess we have been chasing? But she is just a child.


    Warrior Head: Yes Aguyi, she is just a child.


    Aguyi: Princess how old are you?


    Princess: I am seven years old.


    Aguyi turned to the head warrior and said, ”so you mean we have been chasing a seven Yeats old child?


    Warrior Head: shut up Aguyi. The order was to wipe out every living thing from EKEH, be it an adult or a child. Then he turned and face the princess. Young girl, where is your brother?


    Princess: please don’t kill me, I beg you. She started crying, she has seen the maid and the prince hiding, and she has sewn the maid shake her head in the negative as a sign for her not to tell them anything, and this made her cry the more. Please don’t kill me, she kept on begging.


    Warrior Head: I will not kill you, infact I will take you to our igwe and you will live in the palace like the princess that you are, and even your brother will be well taken care of, just tell me where he is.


    Princess: my brother is already dead sir.


    Warrior Head: what do you mean? What are you talking about?


    Princess: he didnt leave with us, one of the maids carried him and his in one of the rooms in the palace, before we left, I saw your men set that room on fire, so my brother is already dead.


    The warrior head looked at her for a while and ordered that they bring her along with them back to the village.
    It was Aguyi who carried her on his shoulder and they turned and walked back to the village. The maid who was hiding all this while, watching the whole scenario, carried the Prince and followed them behind. Her heart was shattered, she was scared, she didnt know what was going to happen to the princess. She lamented why the princess go back to the stream.


    Prince: Will she be okay?he asked her


    Maid: I don’t know my prince, I really don’t know.


    She held him close and walked silently behind the warriors, hiding at intervals from being seen.

    I adjusted my dress as I walked to his ward, I felt nervous which was not me at all. I adjusted my hair and walked in….

    ‘Holy fuck!’ I exclaimed closing my eyes.

    ‘Are you nuts! Don’t you know how to knock?!’ He yelled.

    ‘Are you suppose to be half naked in a hospital!!!’ I yelled back with back turned.

    ‘It’s my ward!!! The sign on the door clearly says “knock before entering” can’t you bloody read!!!’
    ‘That’s it!’ I turned around and cocked my hips, he had already dragged his pants up.

    ‘Are you going to keep looking at me?’ He asked frowningly, flat chest.

    ‘Look at you, flat idiot with nothing to show for. At your age your chest is running best wall award when your age mates are winning brawny hunk gods…you dare call yourself a Greek god? Have you seen Ace’s chest? You should see my brother’s…. Oh father Lord! You should see Percy and Zachary, the hottest guys on earth,’ I rolled my eyes and hissed.
     ‘And you’re here forming….what are you doing?’ I asked alerted as he walked to me, I backed off.

    ‘Don’t worry, I will only kill you and no one will know, you slipped…’ I folded my arms challengingly and glared at me. He stopped and tilted his head quizzically. ‘Your boldness and confidence is annoying,’

    ‘My niche,’

    ‘Nevertheless,’ he walked to me and carried me on his shoulder, I didn’t fight it. He threw me on the bed and smirked, I arched a brow at him. ‘You look like a chair, that’s nice.’

    ‘What do you mean by….what are you doing?….hey help me!’ He pinned me down and sat on my head. ‘Ew!!! Get your smelly ass off my head!!!’ I screamed, I kept screaming while struggling but hell no! He meant business. I could tell he wasn’t adding his full weight but he was still heavy, my head was starting to hurt. Please, stand up.’ I pleaded.

    ‘No,’ he deadpanned. ‘Apologize for being so rude.’

    ‘I’m sorry,’ I apologized, I was going to cry soon. He stood up and swat my head. I shift to the end of the bed and cried, the tears kept flowing out.

    ‘Hey, stop crying,’ he said softly putting a hand on my shoulder.
     ‘I’m sorry, hey, I don’t like crying people…’ I increased my wail, he carried my feather light body back into the bed and cuddled me. ‘I’m sorry, I won’t do that again.’

    ‘Promise?’

    ‘You’re just so annoying and….’ I cried more. ‘Fuck! Ok ok, I promise I won’t sit on your head again.’ I sobbed, my body shaking. He wiped my tears and stroke my back.

    ‘I’m sorry, I’m born to annoy people…’

    ‘Are you the last child?’ I nodded. ‘Only girl?’ I nodded again. ‘Who pampers you most?
    ‘Daddy, grandpa and big brother,’ I said with a small voice. He chuckled.

    ‘No wonder,’ he said chucklingly and pinched the bridge of my nose. ‘You know, your annoying attitude reminds me of my late dog….’

    ‘Late dog!’ I snorted moving away from him, he pulled me back and tickled my side, I giggled and pouted. ‘My dog was my best friend, the only person I really loved….’

    ‘You just said person,’ I stated the obvious.

    ‘Yes, worth one.’

    ‘Why didn’t you marry her,’ I said jokingly.

    ‘He, it was a he.’

    ‘Gay,’

    ‘Seriously?’ He chuckled. I felt something ticklish on my back, it was him. His hand had slipped into the back of my key hole neckline top, his index finger making circles on the skin of my lower back. My heart started beating, his rich Cologne suddenly making itself known. My mind registered the fact that he was shirtless, such spotless skin. I bit my lower lip blushingly and teased his chest with my fingers, he groaned, I pretended to not know what I’m doing to him. ‘What have I missed in school? You’re a social student so we share similar classes.’

    ‘Yeah, I can help you, teach you,’ I suggested.

    ‘That would be great, thanks,’ he said under his breath. Then it hit me. I pulled away from him and peered at him suspiciously.

    ‘How did you know I’m a commercial student?’ He wasn’t expecting that question, he shifted slightly and itched the scruff of his neck. ‘You’ve seen me before, haven’t you?’

    ‘Who wouldn’t notice the pink haired girl whose voice is always loud, makes all the teachers laugh their ass out and dresses like a lunatic,’ he said with questioningly brows. I looked down at my outfit, I wore a baggy sweat dress, a turban and Arabian trousers. I also wore sneakers boots and a scarf.

    ‘Do I dress like a lunatic?’ I asked confusedly. He wiggled his brows, I frowned childishly. ‘Goat,’ I hit his head.

    ‘Sorry, my head no longer hurts….can we go to the teaching now?’

    ‘I’m a dunce,’ I said with feign sadness.

    ‘You answer almost every questions in class,’ he said sneeringly. ‘Does this ring a bell?’ He stood up and cocked his hips to the right sassily, folded his right hand under his breast area, placed his left elbow on it, and tapped his lips with his index finger. His brows were furrowed in concentration and lips puckered up. I laughed and slapped my lap, that’s the impression I make whenever I’m trying to solve or answer a difficult question. ‘See.’

    ‘How long have you been noticing me?’ I asked excitedly.

    ‘How long have you been in school? It’s not hard to notice you.’ I giggled and fanned myself dreamily.

    ‘You’re crushing on me,’ I whispered
    ‘Here we go again.’ He sighed, in conclusion we ended up arguing about it before he gave up and I taught him and then we argued over a game again.

    He’s perfect

    NEXT DAY
    I proudly flaunt my phone in dad’s face, I was so happy, I felt somehow excited like it was my boyfriend that bought me a new phone. Dad was tired of glaring at me, why was I taunting him? When my phone was giving me problems, he made fun of it but now I had a new one, he accidentally cooked his. His phone was on the breakfast table, his hand on his cheek as he stared at his delicious phone. I laughed and sighed.

    ‘Maglificent!’ Savannah shouted barging into the kitchen, she looked hot, really hot. Wait, Maglificent? ‘What’s up best!’ She hugged me, she wore a Nigh neck glitter mess dress, glowing earrings and a patek Philippe ladies complicated watch. She normally don’t go so flashy so what’s up?

    ‘Are you alright?’

    ‘No, I’m not alright,’ she squealed. She pushed me away and went to hug dad. ‘Good morning dad,’ he nodded. ‘What’s this?’ She asked poking the phone.

    ‘He cooked his phone,’ I said gigglingly.

    ‘Is it delicious?’ She asked trying to pick it up. I laughed and grinned. ‘Anyways, I spent yesterday with Mace, taught him all he have missed out in school…I’m his tutor for the mean time,’ she said blushingly. ‘He’s just so cute….’

    ‘Are you crushing on him?’ I asked teasingly. She giggled and covered her cheeks, she’s crushing hard. ‘Did you guys fight again?’

    ‘Oh we did,’ she said dreamily. ‘He sat on my head because I insulted him, then I cried and he pet me then touched me and we argued and I taught him and then we argued again, he’s so cute.’ She’s so liking him.

    ‘Somebody’s going to get her heart broken,’ I sang. She twirled and giggled which made no sense but I don’t think she cares. ‘Come on, we’re running late.’ I picked my bag and walked out, she ran after me with dad’s cooked phone.

    ‘How come this didn’t explode?’ She asked herself as she licked it.

    ‘Savannah,’ I drawled.

    ‘Whaaaaat?’ She said exaggeratedly. ‘No food is to go to waste….’

    ‘That’s not food!’

    ‘Yes it is,’ she pouted.

    ‘No it’s not,’ I argued. She stomped her feet but howled in pain, hopping to the cab as she chanted “heels, heels, heels.”

    She’s hopeless.

    Ace
    I stared plainly at every girl that waved at me, I wasn’t in the mood to flirt with any girl but the sweetheart that helped me. She was late, very late. The corner of my lips twitched up as I heard that annoying voice, blabbing and blabbing. I looked at the hall, the new peacemaker dragging herself in front of the talkative who looked very excited. I pushed myself off her locker which I was leaning on and shoved my hands into my pockets. She smiled as her gaze met mine.

    ‘Testicle,’ she called loudly, hasting her steps to get to me quicker.

    ‘Genital,’ I called back. She rolled her eyes.

    ‘Did you two switch brains?’ She asked sarcastically glaring at the grinning girl over her shoulder. I chuckled.

    ‘Hey Prick!’ Savannah exclaimed, pushing her out of the way. She hugged me, she’s stupid so I won’t be so surprise. Normally I would squeezed her ass like I would do other girls but I fear this one. She pulled away and slapped me thrice. ‘Muscles,’ she felt my arm and grinned. ‘This is muscles! Bye girl!’ She skipped away.

    ‘What is wrong with her?’ I asked as I stared at her amusedly.

    ‘Trust me, you haven’t seen anything yet.’ Genital laughed, I hate her laugh, always unnerves me.

    ‘So, enjoying the new phone?’ I asked looking at everywhere but her.

    ‘It’s amazing,’ she squealed pushing me out of her locker. I looked at her, a big grin on her face and glint in her eyes. ‘I spent all night making out with it.’
    ‘When last did a boy buy you something nice or something at all?’ I asked amusedly, she sucked on her lower lip, her cheeks flushing. She cleared her throat.

    ‘Three years,’ she said with a croak voice, almost dry and laced with shyness.

    ‘Wow, no wonder you’ve been using that quack phone for years,’ I said mockingly. She smiled and glared at me from the corner of her eyes.

    ‘Mock me again and I’ll make you fail miserably,’ I laughed nervously.

    ‘Sorry ma,’ I apologized. She shut her locker and walked off, I followed her.

    ‘So, how did it go?’

    ‘How did what go?’ I asked feigning ignorance.

    ‘Your sisters, you know the apology thing?’

    ‘Oh that, they forgave me but I have to take them out tomorrow, to catch up with old times,’ I said happily. ‘You wanna come with?’

    ‘Come with? For something as special that? I’ll skip.’

    ‘Maybe another day or soon,’ I murmured. She chuckled and shook her head.

    ‘You’re a handful.’

    Magenta
    Ace and I walked into class together, I greeted the teacher and went to my seat at the back but Ace followed.

    ‘What?’ He asked innocently.

    ‘Can you GI back to your seat?’
    ‘No,’ he deadpanned. I looked around, all eyes were on me, most glares but few just shock. I sighed, i’mma gonna get beaten up soon.
    During class, he was sleeping, why wouldn’t he fail.

    ‘Can someone solve this equation?’ The teacher asked loudly, his angry eyes on a kid sleeping at the front. I tapped Ace.

    ‘Leave me alone,’ he moaned.

    ‘Get up or I’ll draw on your face,’ I threatened.

    ‘Make sure you draw your puss there….’ I slapped his cheek, he sprung up flustered and confuse. I was more embarrassed by his speech. ‘What hit me?’

    ‘Me, stand up and go solve that equation,’ I commanded. He scoffed and went back to sleep. ‘Ace, as your tutor, I order you go solve that or you’ll be punished by more electric bugs.’ He stood up grudgingly, cursing under his breath like a grumpy kid. He walked to the whiteboard and snatched the marker from the teacher’s hand. He looked at the question and solved it while still cursing.

    ‘I know I failed, no need to trouble me,’ he said frowningly.

    ‘Actually, you’re correct.’

    ‘I am?’ He asked plainly.

    ‘Yeah, you’re correct,’ the teacher repeated happily. Ace turned, walked to me and did what I never expected, he pulled me up and hugged me tight.

    ‘I’m correct!’

    It’s official, all the girls will kill me but on the good side, Ace hugged me!!!

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    It was the last class before school end, I was in the restroom washing my hands after using the toilet. I was smiling brightly, why wouldn’t I smile? I turned off the tap and held each side of the sink, a grin escaping me lips. My magenta eyes glittered, Ace said they are sparkly and extraordinary, he said I’m beautiful and nothing else should matter.

    ‘I’m beautiful, I know I am.’ The door opened, six girls walked in, they scoffed immediately they saw me.

    ‘It’s her, the new bitch in town.’ One scorned.

    ‘She’s not even beautiful, I wonder what he sees in her,’ another chipped in.

    ‘Berwyn is even sexier and richer, poverty stinking bitch,’ my grip on the sink tightened as my eyes watered.

    ‘Looks at her poor dress, ugly troll…’ The one who got to me hit my head.

    ‘You think you’re better than us because Ace is fucking you? Well guess what, he’ll use and dump your fucking expired ass!!!’ The fourth one yelled and pushed me. I fell on the floor, a sob leaving my mouth.

    ‘She’s crying,’ they taunted. I remembered what Savannah said, anytime anyone try to bully me, just compare the scales and believe you’re better. I stood up and looked at all of them, wiping my eyes clean and pressing my lips into a thin line.

    ‘You’re right, I’m poor, classless, ugly and all but you know what,’ I said smirkingly. ‘Mighty leader of the Greek gods, Ace Davison is fucking my cheap ass instead of your expensive one, that have got to hurt.’ I said with a twinkle of my eyes.

    ‘And you think you’re better than Berwyn….’

    ‘There it is, Berwyn, not you all. That proves she’s better than you and I know I’m better than Berwyn which means I’m better than you all as well,’ I cocked my hips which I recently discovered I had. ‘Just take a look at me, I’ve got hips, beauty, style and I’m smart. What do you girls have?’ I taunted.

    ‘Money, we have money….’

    ‘But I have Ace,’ I smirked.
    ‘Bitch!’ The one that pushed me yelled and charged at me, I moved out of the way and slammed her head on the sink.

    ‘Wanna fight, huh?! Well come fight me and see what I’ll do!!!!’ I yelled wvsn though I was scared. I scoffed and walked out, making sure I pushed one out of the way, she hit her head hard but who cares. I broke into a run when I was out of the bathroom, I bumped into Jace.

    ‘Whoa! Where’s the fire!’
    ‘Some girls wanted to beat me up because they think I’m sleeping with him, Ace,’ I gasped. He laughed and patted my head.
    ‘Welcome to the world of The Greek gods, it’s just beginning but I’m sure I can fix that,’ he pulled me with him to the now crowded hallway. ‘Hey people!!!!’ He shouted at the top of his voice, everyone quiet down. Hw wrapped his hand around my shoulders and smirked. ‘This beautiful lady, please stay away from her, both boys and girls or you’ll have me and Ace to deal with.’

    ‘How Is that suppose to….’
    ‘You know we don’t warn people twice,’ he winked at Berwyn who was eyeing me from a corner. ‘And no, she’s not dating Ace, yet.’ He licked his lips and pulled me away.
    ‘You have killed me.’

    ‘I know,’ he laughed. ‘I would have wooed you but Savannah almost stabbed me at lunch when I mentioned it so you’re free but she’s not.’

    ‘Good luck dick head,’ I smiled and walked away from him. Time ri teach Mr Testicle.

    Tynan
    I opened my eyes sharply, jolting to sit. The whole place smelt like a burst of seasons, snowflake, sun, flowers and a keen autumn wind. Flowers sprouted from the walls, the ground a smooth grass but that didn’t matter to me, what mattered was the woman staring at me.
    ‘Mom?’
    ‘Why didn’t you stop her?’ She asked sadly averting her eyes to a pale body on the smooth grass.
    ‘Shit! Summer!’ I stood up and ran to her, her face was on the ground, her hair covering her face. The explosion burnt her dress completely, her skin paler than anything I’d ever seen. ‘What….Summer, wake up!’
    ‘She gave up her life to drag me out,’ mom muttered bitterly. ‘I don’t….’ I looked at her for help, she was staring at her hands with disbelief. ‘I still have my powers? All of them? How is that possible?’ She asked herself. She shook her head and stared at Summer. ‘No,’
    ‘Mom, what did she do?’
    ‘I….I….I….’ She shook her head. ‘I don’t know what she did but…..I don’t know.’
    ‘Gaia!’ I looked at the entrance, dad stood there with disbelief. I looked back at Summer, her words ringing in my head.
    ‘It’s nothing I can’t handle.’
    I shut my eyes, I felt nothing towards her anymore, who was she again? I stood up and folded my arms.
    ‘What do I do with her? Bury her?’
    ‘I don’t know,’ mom murmured. ‘I don’t know.’

    I watched as Angus paced our room anxiously, Gale was counting his fingers, Verna crying and Eira just staring into space. Fallon, she stared at all of us with confusion, I couldn’t do anything, it was meant to happen.
    ‘How could you convince our daughter to risk her life like that!!!’ Angus finally exploded. ‘Don’t you care!!!!’
    ‘Dad please…’ Eira tried to speak.
    ‘Don’t interfere young lady!’
    ‘Well don’t yell at my mother old man!!!!’ She yelled back.
    ‘Lumi….’
    ‘No mom, don’t shush me,’ she huffed. ‘What right does he think he have to yell at you?! Who does he think he is!!! Fuck yeah he’s our dad but it’s not like he ever existed in the first place….’
    ‘Eira….’
    ‘Not until a month ago, we thought he was dead….’
    ‘Eira, that’s enough!’ Gale snapped. ‘One more word from you and I’ll shut you up for good!’ He threatened. ‘We should be here worrying about Jennifire and you’re making dad feel like shit. Is it his fault that he wasn’t around! Is it his fault that we know he’s alive now!!! Stop your selfish venting and be reasonable!’ She bit her lower lip.
    ‘Mom, what do we do? I can’t lose Adara, who’ll council me now? Who’s gonna be my best friend? Who’s gonna slap some senses into my head?’ Verna wailed.
    ‘There’s nothing I can do, we just have to wait and hope she survives it. Anila is a strong girl, I will never advice her to do it if she was Eira or Verna. Just hope.’
    ‘What am I suppose to tell my family? What?’ Dad asked shakily.
    ‘Leave that to me, for now, let’s just hope.’

    Summer
    Nine_Months_Later
    I skipped to his study gigglingly, I had my cute white bunny in my arms, I call her Clover. I met Alfredo on the way.
    ‘Good morning Alfredo Delgado!’ I squealed. He chuckled.
    ‘Morning Miss Summer, how did you sleep?’
    ‘I slept very well. Is he in?’
    ‘He’s busy…’
    ‘He’s all work and no play, I’ll fix that. Can you m….’
    ‘Make you blueberry scones, chocolate muffins and vanilla tea for breakfast? No, Master forbids you from having another sip or bite or nibble of chocolate and blueberry. The vanilla tea I can make but the rest, you’re stuck with cinnamon roll, jambalaya and French toast for breakfast. If you wish, I can make stake or bacon.’ He suggested.
    ‘I rather eat cockroaches,’ I whined and stomped to his office. ‘Bigger Clover!’ I cried running in. ‘Alfredo won’t make me….’
    ‘Yes I know.’
    ‘But….’
    ‘Leave my office….’
    ‘But….’ He slammed his book shut and glared at me. ‘The bunny sing tralalala.’ I giggled.
    ‘Summer, I’m busy.’
    ‘Then unbusy, I want to play with you.’ I pouted.
    ‘I can’t play, I’m busy.’ I rolled my eyes. Tynan is my best friend, ever since I woke up from his bed six months earlier, he had always been there for me. He told me I had no family, they all died and he never let me out of the house, always monitoring me like a hawk. I didn’t mind, not until he change a month earlier, keeping his distance away from me and avoiding eye contact. He was guilty.
    ‘You’re tired of me, I understand.’
    ‘It’s not that I’m tired, I’m not, just busy dear.’
    ‘Can I watch TV? On my own?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Can I at least get a phone?’
    ‘No.’
    ‘Ohhhh!’ I stomped my feet on the ground childishly. ‘You’re not fair, come on Clover, let’s go.’ I ran out of his office, it was like he was hiding me from something. I hid behind the door and waited until Alfredo came back.
    ‘Is she in her room?’ He asked Alfredo.
    ‘No, didn’t check. Don’t you think you’re being selfish by keeping her all to yourself?’
    ‘Alfred, don’t start.’
    ‘No, let me talk sire. I understand you kept her hidden from them because you weren’t sure if she was still alive, she finally woke up but you refuse to tell them or let her go. She lost her memories but would have regained it within seven days if you didn’t selfishly cast a spell on her to forget forever….’
    ‘What’s your point!!! Are you going to try and convince me that I’m in love with her like mom is always trying to!!! I’m only trying to keep her safe!!! Seeing them will cause her a lot of pain….’
    ‘Stop deceiving yourself sire and making excuses, seeing them will restore her memories. You’re afraid she’ll leave you, that they will the consequences will keep her away from you but don’t you think that sooner or later the spell will break?’ What spell? I itched my head in confusion. ‘She deserves to know who she is, they need her back, they all do. Convincing them that she’s dead is wrong, stop.’
    ‘One more word from you Alfred and I’ll rip out your vocal cord. Now get out.’ He spat. I waited until he walked out before I snuck to meet him in the kitchen.
    ‘Alfred?’
    ‘I know you heard everything, I am not allowed to speak or he would kill me.’
    ‘Who’s them?’
    ‘Just find any of the Steinberg and say the name, Anila.’
    ‘I can’t leave the house.’
    ‘You know you can, you don’t have your gift for nothing.’
    ‘But I don’t know how to use it,’ I pouted. ‘Help me?’
    ‘I’m afraid this is as far as I can go.’ I bit my lower lip and ran to my room, I could run really fast and sometimes when I close my eyes and concentrate, I enter mirrors and find myself somewhere else. Tynan always blew a fuse whenever I used it.
    ‘Hi,’ I smiled at my reflection as I stroke Clover’s hair. ‘Where am I concentrating to?’ I mused.

    Verna
    I walked out of the mall laughing with my friends, we went shopping and it was phenomenon. Everything was almost perfect, sure I lost my powers but Cian didn’t and he still loved me. Our relationship trembled a lot but at the end, we fixed it. I finally made three normal friends, Sasha, Megan and Beverley, the sweetest girls in the whole world. We were all rich with celebrities boyfriends and famous siblings, by famous siblings I meant Gale. Hell his face made him a popular model in less than a month after Adara’s “death”, it was all he ever wanted.
    Eventually, he broke up with Fallon but later came begging when he realised that she was the only girl who really understood him.
    Eira, at first she and Dwayne didn’t break up but then he started cheating, trust Eira to show em who’s boss. She really liked him but she didn’t let it get to her, became a model with her still enchanting face, modelled all dad’s important stuffs and helped him with the companies since she’s business minded, made a huge name for herself within five months. Went to various parties and hung around guys far more hotter than Dwayne, ones she knew he was envious of and that was how she trapped him back. She is the boss of her relationship.
    ‘So, how are you all planning your birthdays?’ Beverley asked grinningly, Megan nudged her roughly. It was too late, my shoulders sagged immediately. Mom manipulated everything to make it seem like Adara was abducted and never found, though we knew what was up. It was hard for me there was no one there to share secrets with me.
    ‘Hey, don’t do that…’ Sasha whispered, they didn’t know her but they were aware enough. I wiped my tears and smiled.
    ‘It’d be great I guess,’
    ‘You should all move on, the babe’s dead.’ Beverley shrugged, I smiled, she’s too straightforward.
    ‘We’ll make it a huge party, all the stars and….’ They squealed.
    ‘What?’ I laughed.
    ‘Isn’t Gale Tynan Nore’s best friend? He can invite him!’
    ‘He hates parties, he won’t come.’
    ‘I wanna meet that mysterious masked girl be brought to the label opening months ago, she looks cute. Megan giggled.
    ‘I heard they are married,’ Sasha gossiped. I chuckled ans gasped as my eyes landed on a girl staring at my car. She had long red hair, a nice figure with a bunny in her arms. ‘Excuse me,’ I hurried to her, something pulling me closer. ‘Hey, who’re you?’ She turned, her golden yellow eyes glowing.
    ‘Hello,’ her voice, it was just like Adar’s. ‘Are you the owner of this car?’ Her eyes, I dropped my shopping bags and quickly checked her neck, nothing. ‘Hello?’
    ‘I’m sorry. This car is mine,’ I said disappointedly. ‘Who are you?’
    ‘I’m….’
    ‘Miss Nore,’ a huge man called. A set of red suited men trooped behind him. ‘We need to leave now.’
    ‘But Alfredo, I haven’t found anything yet,’ she whined hugging her bunny.
    ‘He’s looking for you and damn me when he gets to know what I did, please let’s go, I can’t hide your location for long.’ She pouted and looked at me.
    ‘Bye stranger,’ she murmured and followed the men to a freaky expensive limousine, one I didn’t notice there before.
    ‘She must be really rich.’ Beverley whispered.
    ‘Yeah,’ I smiled, it was her.

    # Tynan
    I huffed as I paced my room, Alfred had never disobeyed me before but he was because he wanted me to be happy. I sighed, accepting that I loved her was harder than smiling to everyone. The worse was feeling guilty for taking advantage of her.
    ‘Hey man!’ I chuckled, he was here again. ‘What’s up?’
    ‘How did you get into my house again? I thought I changed all the locks and asked all the guards and dogs to kill you at sight?’ He chuckled and plopped on the chair.
    ‘I’m not easy to kill,’ he grinned. ‘Where’s my sister?’
    ‘She ran away.’
    ‘What!’
    ‘Chill, Alfred is bringing her back.’ Yeah, Gale knew she was with me, he might have lost his powers but his telepathic strength was still strong. Plus, he was like an annoying boyfriend I couldn’t lie to. He came to visit me, saw her and knew instantly.
    ‘When are you returning her to us?’
    ‘Until she’s better.’
    ‘When are you going to stop lying to me?’
    ‘Three years time.’
    ‘Dude, stop manipulating her with your powers. You’re messing my sister up.’
    ‘I’m not messing her…’
    ‘You sleep with her almost every night and make her forget it. I don’t like that and don’t lie, I know. She’s my sister bro, stop messing her up before she carries a Tynan junior in there.’
    ‘I don’t know….’
    ‘Stop shitting yourself, you’re in love. I want my sister back, you’ve enjoyed her enough.’
    ‘I haven’t….I don’t know what you’re talking about.’
    ‘Nigga, keep your destroyer away from my sister.’ He laughed.
    ‘Bigger Clover!!!’ She ran into my room. ‘Bi….Big brother!’ She ran to Gale and threw herself on him.
    ‘How are you?’
    ‘Not fine, he won’t let me out so I ran away.’ She’s too childish.
    ‘Did he sneak into your room last night?’ She nodded. ‘And he touched you?’ She nodded. My eyes widened.
    ‘It was nice,’ she giggled. ‘Weird but why don’t he take permission?’
    ‘Gale! What have you been teaching her!’
    ‘Life bro, life. Babe, let me take you out, we’re going to meet our mom and restore your memories.’
    ‘But…’ I protested.
    ‘Almost a year bro, you’re not ready for marriage.’ I chuckled.
    ‘And you are?’
    ‘Fuck no, that shit is a bastard.’
    ‘Please don’t take her away from me.’
    ‘And that’s the thing, no one is. She’s always here if you need her but for now, she’s leaving.’ The main reason I was scared, the consequences of her actions was either her heart became as cold as stone or she lost her sanity. She not having her memories was the only way out for her. Watching her sleep, taking care of her made me felt something towards her but I was afraid she would hate me after she regained her memories.
    ‘What memories?’
    ‘Maybe we should tell her,’ Gale concluded. He sat her down and explained everything to her, not leaving a side out. I watched them helplessly, fear making me woozy. ‘That’s it.’
    ‘So if I regain my memories I might hate everything and everyone?’ I nodded. ‘Including Tynan bestie?’
    ‘Especially him.’
    ‘But I don’t want to hate him or be insane, I want to be happy with him and everyone.’ She sobbed.
    ‘See, she don’t need her memories.’
    ‘Tynan, she loves you a lot, you should believe in that like I believed in Fallon.’
    ‘You ditched the girl!’ I exclaimed.
    ‘You know what I mean, trust her.’ I sighed, I walked to her and crouched.
    ‘Please don’t hate me,’ I kissed her, letting the spell flow out of my lips and into her head. She pushed me off and gagged. ‘Summer?’
    ‘Gross, Tynan, why did you kiss me! Gale you just st….why am I wearing this? Is this skirt!’ She screamed frantically.
    ‘Summer,’ I tried to touch her. She shifted. ‘Yeah, trust.’
    ‘Oops, sorry.’ Gale laughed.
    ‘Back to square one,’ I whimpered. ‘She don’t….’
    ‘How many times will I say it’s nothing I can’t handle?’ She asked smirkingly. I blinked. ‘Don’t ever delete my memories dude, or I’ll delete you.’ She shrieked and clapped. ‘I have to see mom and dad and Verna! Bye guys!’ She disappeared.
    ‘What was that?’ I asked baffled.
    ‘Do you really think she’ll forget like that? She’s Jennifire. She will never do anything if she’s not fully sure. She’ll be fine and she don’t hate you. I see love but, she’s going to kill you for touching her and wiping her memories of it.’ I laughed nervously.
    ‘How bad?’
    ‘Dead bad, you’re in soup.’
    I’m sure it’s not that bad.

    FOUR DAYS LATER
    # Gaia
    I laughed as I watched Tynan struggle with a tree. Ayanna tied him to a tree, lit fire under it and then her sisters and that crazy girl ran around it chanting spells. They were going to sacrifice him to nothing. I was finally at peace knowing everything was okay, I almost ruined everything with my selfishness.
    ‘Darn it! Why can’t I use my powers!’ He cried as they flogged him. She was still powerful, not as before but strong enough to temporarily weaken his mighty powers. They were perfect for each other.
    ‘I’ve told you to stop prying.’ Nysaiah sighed blinding my mirror.
    ‘Hey! I’m missing the show!’ He arched a brow at me. ‘Fine, their lives are just too fun to watch.’
    ‘You should focus more on how we would rebuild Arundel completely and not pry on his relationship.’
    ‘Yeah, sorry, about everything.’
    ‘You keep apologizing, stop it.’
    ‘I manipulated Jasmine into thinking she was in love with him so she could remove my heart, make me very powerful, anger you so everything else would go as planned. I was selfish, unreasonable….’
    ‘Past, don’t remind me.’
    ‘So many died,’ I sobbed.
    ‘Would you prefer I lock you up for treason against Arundel? Your crimes are huge.’ I sealed my lips.
    Once upon a time I wanted power, but once upon a not so long ago, someone special stopped me from making an everlasting mistake. I can never be more grateful.

    The END
