“What’s wrong with this guy, too uptight” Presh muttered.
“You think he’s uptight? What will you say of Romeo” Olive said beside him.
“Something is definitely wrong somewhere, sooner I’m sure I’ll find out” Presh held Olive’s hand and went in with her.
Romeo opened the fridge and brou-ght out a bag of chips. He closed back the fridge and went upstairs with a sullen look on his face.
Emma was coming out from from her room when she saw him closing the door to his room.
She took de-ep breaths before heading to his room. She stopped in front of his room and gently knocked on the door then began picking his nails.
“Come in”
Emma slowly opened the door and walked in.
“Hi” She waved and smiled.
Romeo looked up at her and then looked back at the phone he was pressing while eating his chips noisily.
“Hi” He replied.
“You’ve been acting weirdly since yesterday. What’s wrong?” Emma walked to him then sat down on the bed beside him.
“It’s nothing” Romeo replied.
“Are you sure? Your face doesn’t show that-”
“I said I’m okay!! I’m fine, just want to be alone” Romeo raised his tone abit
Emma immediately stood up and scoffed.
“I’m sorry, I never knew I was disturbing you by asking how you were feeling. I’ll leave now, continue sulking over who knows what” Emma said and marched to the exit.
Before her hands could reach the door knob, Romeo caught her by the forearm and turned her to him, slamming her back gently on the door.
“Don’t you see it? Isn’t it obvious? Don’t you see that I’m trying to forget about my feelings for you?” Romeo said.
“Your feelings for me?” Emma said, surprised. Romeo looked down and simply nodded.
“I saw you and Linc ki-ss, i know you like him” Romeo said.
“We never ki-ssed… He ki-ssed me, I don’t love him” Emma said still looking at him.
Romeo quickly looked into her eyes with a glint of hope sparkling in them.
“Then I still have a chance then. Emma, I really do love you…will you be my girlfriend?” Romeo asked taking Emma again by surprise.
“Romeo I…”
She was cut short when Romeo crashed his li-ps on hers, pouring his affection in it.
Emma’s eyes grew wide and refused to close. What was he doing?! She was just too shocked to move…
Romeo kept feasting on her li-ps, his heart was beating at an abnormal speed. It’s as if it’ll explode in any minute from now.
Emma got back to her senses then pushed him away. She opened the door and rushed out of the room.
Romeo stood still and touched his li-ps, a smile crept up his face.
“At least I gave away my first ki-ss to the one that I love” He thought and breathed heavily.

JORDAN’S PLAY***
Linc and Tasha walked in the hall and sat down at their seats. Tasha looked at Linc and ached her brows.
“Why is he always frowning?” She wondered while looking at him.
Tasha scoffed and looked front…
“What do i care” She thought.
Not so long after, the play began. Linc was moody because it was his dream to come to such places with Emma, too bad she slapped the truth in his face real hard…

At a night bar, in the middle of the night, Laycon was seen sitting while sipping a bottle of his beer.
He looked at his phone and clenched his grip on his beer. He just logged into Olive’s Facebook account and what he’s seeing isn’t quite pleasing to him.
She changed her profile picture and replaced with a picture of her and Presh with her ki-ssing Presh’s cheek.
“So it’s confirmed, he’s your boyfriend. You forgot about me?!” Laycon said to no one in particular.
He zoomed on the picture and looked at Presh’s face keenly.
“I need to deal with you, I’ll make you regret ever setting eyes on what’s mine” Laycon smiled devilishly.
He gulped down his drink when suddenly his phone began ringing. ‘Boss’ was clearly written as the caller’s ID.
He picked it up and cleared his throat…
“Yes boss?” Laycon said.
“I need you to come deliver some of our package here” A man said while smoking his cigarette. He exhaled the smoke in the air.
“I’m on my way boss” Laycon hung up. He gulped down his drink then paid for it before walking out of the bar.
Well that’s his main job, a drug dealer. You don’t expect him to survive with only selling cotton candy…

Tessa was busy stuffing her face with pizza when her phone began ringing. She picked up without looking at the caller’s ID.
“Hello” She said with a mouthful of pizza.
Robert chuckled. He can already imagine her face with food all over it.
“Tessa, had anyone ever told you it’s rude especially for a lady to speak with a mouthful?” Robert smiled, he just doesn’t know why he’s smiling.
Tessa swallowed her food and frowned..
“Hey you’re not my dad okay? Keep your advice to yourself…wait why did you call me” Tessa asked.
“Just wanted to hear your voice” Robert replied.
“Ha ha ha very funny” Tessa said and stood up to go and keep her plate.
“Alright I was calling you to ask you if you can inform our supervisor to come and discharge me from this hospital. I hate hospitals and it makes me sick!!” Robert sighed.
“Alright, I’ll tell them” Tessa said.
“K. Thanks beautiful” Robert smiled.
“Hey! What did you just…!!!”
Robert hung up on her. He smiled and hug-ged his phone to his chest, right now he needs no one to tell him that he’s in love.
“In love with my enemy” Robert said and shook his head.
“Like Chi would say…. I don mad finish” Robert said and laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling while thinking of something or more specifically… someone.
“This br@t!!” Tessa cursed and went out of the house to go and inform Mr Johnson and Miss Melissa. Well only mr Johnson was there since Miss Melissa went with linc and Tasha to the play.
Chi and Bolu just looked at her till she went out of the house. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
“I cannot believe that Robert and Tessa are friends” Chi said.
Bolu just looked at him and shook his head. Chi speaking fluent English is awkward in the ears…

JORDAN’S PLAY***
“Awn…that’s all romantic!!” Tasha gushed while watching the play. She unknowingly hug-ged Linc’s arm.
Linc looked at her and shook his head. Girls will still remain girls no matter what.
One hour later….
The play ended and everyone stood up cheering for the actors.
“Bravo!!!” Tasha screamed while clapping.
The actors bowed and then left. The spectators slowly began leaving too.
“This play is the best I’ve ever seen” Tasha smiled.
“Yeah” Linc replied.
Tasha frowned and crossed her arms under her chest.
“You should stop being so cold, that won’t change the fact that she doesn’t love you. Take a look at me, Presh choose Olive over me but I’m I sulking like a baby? You need to grow up man” Tasha said and entered the car then fastened her seatbelt.
Linc sighed and entered too. Miss melissa was even waiting for them
“She’s right” He thought and began driving to back home.
The drive home was so silent…
“We’ve arrived” Linc said.
Melissa yawned and got out of the car.
“I’m so tired! Goodnight” She said and went away.
Linc looked at him right and saw Tasha was already asleep. He sighed and got down the car then opened her side of the car before carrying her in his arms.
He locked the door of the car with his leg before walking in the house.
