Next week Tuesday is the Valentineâs day and I havenât composed any song that Iâll pl@yfor the school, whatâs wrong with me?
âTiana think think think and put something downâ I said hitting myself on the head, then the inspiration c@mÂŁ and lyrics started floating in my head.
I brou-ght out my jotting book and started writing the lyrics down as they keep flowing in my head.
When I was done writing, I checked the pages Iâve written and discovered that Iâve written four pages.
âWow! I guess thatâs enough, I really did a great job, now Iâll start rehearsingâ I said to myself as I found a suitable tone for those lyrics. I cleared my throat and began to sing with the guitar well placed across my nÂŁÂąk and below my arm. I sang along to the sound of the guitar đž.
đŒ Valentine is for lovers to express their love đ¶
đŒ Valentine can bring two lovers together đ¶
đŒ Itâs a day secret admirers longed for đ¶
đŒ To pour out their hearts to their loved ones đ¶
đŒ Itâs a day for couples to renew their wedding vows đ¶
đŒ We shouldnât joke with this day because đ¶
đŒ Itâs the best day ever ⊠đ¶
A knock on my door interrupted me
âWhoâs that?â I asked dropping the guitar
âItâs me Toniaâ
âOh Tonia, you can come inâ I said and she pushed the door open and walked towards me
âI overheard the song you were singingâ she said
âReally??â
âYesâ
âTell me, how was it? Is it good to presÂŁnt or I should make it a bit ro-mantic??â I asked
âUhmmm⊠Itâs presÂŁntable but Iâll advise you to add some few ro-mantic p@rts to make it lovely and fascinatingâ she said
âOh youâre right, youâre so s-en-sitive and I love you for thatâ I said and she blu-shed.
She made to walk out but st©pped abruptly
âI totally forgot what I actually c@mÂŁ here forâ
âWhatâs that?â I asked
âSome people are here to see youâ she replied
âSome people??â I asked in confusion because I didnât give anyone an appointment to see me today, so who are they?
âDid any of them perhaps mentioned his/her name?â I asked again
âYes! Jessica, Monalisa, Wisdom and Archieâ she replied and I opened my mouth in surprise
âSo these guys c@mÂŁ here now, what should I do? How can I hide my real identity from them?â I started thinking about what to do.
âI guess you use the hoodieâ Tonia suggested
âWonât they ask me why Iâm still hiding my face even when Iâm at home??â I asked confusingly
âDonât worry, just tell them you always cover your faceâ
âAnd you think it will work?â I asked again
âOf course it will, come on, you trust me now, donât you?â she asked
âSt©p talking nons-en-se, who told you that? Of course I do trust youâ I said
âThen pu-ll yourself together and go meet them, Iâm very sure everything is gonna be alrightâ she said and I hvgged her
âYouâre so sweetâ I said putting on my hoodie
âNow st©p the compliment and go out there, they must be worried sick for not seeing youâ she said and we both went out.
I saw them chatting happily with a glas-s cu-p of drink in their hands each.
âHere comes the African Queen weâve all been waiting forâ Archie said
âShould I take that as a compliment or an abuse?â I asked sitting down with them
âA compliment of courseâ Archie replied
âAlright, so why do you decided to have your conference meeting done in my house today?â I asked
âBecause youâre the African Queenâ Lisa said and we all laughed
âWhy are you covering your face again? Are you trying to hide from your friends??â Jessica asked
âNopeâŠyou know I told you guys that when itâs time for you to see my face, youâll surely see it, and besides I just like covering my face, be it family, friends or strangersâ I said
âAlright, but tell me somethingâ Wisdom said sitting upright
âWhatâs that?â I asked and did exactly what he did which made others laughed.
âI heard Tianaâs voice when we arrived, but as soon as your maid c@mÂŁ to call you, the song st©p, tell me, is Tiana here??â Wisdom asked and we all laughed
âIâm serious, it is not funnyâ Wisdom said again
âAlright alright, I think Wisdom is right, because I also heard that song and the song is yet to be re-leased, Iâve never heard it beforeâ Monalisa said
âWell⊠Itâs true that you heard Tianaâs voice but she isnât here Mr Wisdom Kingsley, Iâm just listening to her music, thatâs allâ I said and they all laughed because of the way I addressed Wisdom
âItâs alright but I havenât hear that song beforeâ Lisa said
âOkay, youâll soon here it, she just re-leased it yesterdayâ I lied
âReally??â They all asked in surprise
âYes, and why are you surprised?â I asked
âShe re-leased it yesterday and youâve heard it, so soon??â Jessica asked
âYes, Iâm always following her, even if she dropped a song just now, I will have it on my phoneâ I lied again, oh Lord, plea-se help me sÂŁnd these chickens away, theyâre stressing my life.
âAlright, we just c@mÂŁ to know your house, by tomorrow weâre going to Lisaâs houseâ Jessica said
âThatâs goodâ I said
âSo thank you for your hospitalityâ Wisdom said
âYouâre welcome Mr Wisdom Kingsleyâ I replied and we all laughed again before I accompanied them out.
âWoah! That was so closeâ I sighed softly as I went back to the sitting room and ordered Tonia to get me a chilled water
âYou see nowâ she said as she dropped the tray on the table and I told her to sit.
I re-moved my hoodie and we started chatting. We were still talking when Monalisa barged in.

âŁïž Monalisa Kings âŁïž
Weâve gotten into the car and was about to drive out when I remember my phone, I left it inside
âGuys hold on for me, let me go and get my phoneâ I said and went back inside.
As I opened the door, I saw someone who look just like Tiana, but immediately it went away just like a flash.
âI think I saw Tiana just nowâ I said to Samyn who was still covering her face with hoodie
âMaybe in your imaginationâ Samyn said
âNope, I know I saw herâ I persisted
âItâs her picture you saw thenâ Samyn said and it was then I noticed Tianaâs pictures hanging everywhere in the sitting room.
âHold on⊠why is Tianaâs pictures much in your house like this?â I asked
âI just love her so much, thatâs why I have her picturesâ Samyn said
âItâs alright, I c@mÂŁ to take my phone, others are waiting outside, let me go quic-kly, see you tomorrowâ I said as I picked my phone and rushed out.
â„ïž Archie Myers â„ïž
âWhatâs Lisa still doing inside, that girl is a talkativeâ Wisdom said and we all bur-sted into laughter
âThank you for the abuse, women-gr-abbing freakâ Lisa said stepping into the car, and we all bur-sted into laughter again
âItâs okay guys letâs goâ Jessica said and I drove out of the compound.
Actually, itâs my car we used today, so Iâll drop them off one after the other.
âGoodbye guys, see you tomorrowâ Lisa said as she got out of the car and went inside.
I dropped Wisdom and Jessica at the respective homes and went to my house.
âWhere have you been brother, dad has been waiting for you sinceâ My younger sister, Lenita said
âWhat happened? Why is he waiting for me?â I asked
âI donât know but I think heâs quite angry about somethingâ she replied
âAnd why are you shivering? Are you scared?â I asked as I held her hand
âIâm scared brother, hope he wonât get mad at you for going out without informing him?â she said
âOh come on Lennie, donât be scared, nothing will happen to your big bro. okay?â I said and hvgged her.
Lenita is a very sweet girl, just turned 9 last month which is January, she canât bear to see me hurt, sheâs always on my side, had it been I told her where Iâm going, she would have settled my dad.
âNow letâs go in and st©p stressing your cute eyes, donât cry okay? Everything will be alrightâ I said and carried her in my arms and went in.
Truth to her words, dad was there, in the large living room, tapping his feet on the floor, I can see he is furious
âWhere have you been Archie? Tell me where youâre coming from now!â he roared like a lion
âI went out with my friendsâ I said fearlessly, unlike Lenita who is alre-ady shivering in fear
âYou went out with your friends???â he questioned
âYes fatherâ I replied
âAre you mad?! You dare lie to me?? Do you think Iâm a dummy??â he shouted
âCanât I go out with my friends anymore dad? How will I lie about such things??â I shouted back
âAre you talking to me like that?!â
âDad plea-se, I have work to do, if you nee-d me for anything, you can call meâ I said and carried Lennie in my arms, and went upstairs straight to my room.
âYou dare walk out on me!? Archie! Archie!! Archie!!!â I heard him calling me but I ignored him and went to my room with Lenita.
Dad is a very bad man, he left us for politics and anytime we asked him to come home that we missed him, heâll shout on us over the phone and disconnected immediately.
What makes me hate him so much with pas-sion is when my immediate sister Kaima was sick, we took her to the hospital and the doctor said she is battling with cardiac arrest, the doctor said we should bring #50m for her operation but when we couldnât get all the money, I made a suggestion that we should ask Dad for the money, mom called him but he shouted on us and told us to look for money elsewhere that we shouldnât disturb him.
Mum tried to arrange the money but she could only gather #30m, we went to deposit that at the hospital but when we got there, we were told that Kaima is dead, it c@mÂŁ to me like a shock, I couldnât believe my ears, mum fainted when she heard that and all efforts to revive her went in vain, mum also died.
He went ahead to marry another woman whom I hate so much with pas-sion, but I got along with her when she seems so nice, and I even call her Mom.
That useless father killed my mother and sister, I wonât forgive him for that.
âBrother why are you crying?â Lenita asked as she wiped my tears with her little hand, so I have been crying since and I didnât notice.
âWhy are you crying brother, tell meâ Lennie said again snapping me out of my thoughts
âItâs nothing dear, sitâ I said and placed her on the king size be-d. I started singing a lullaby song while stro-king her long, dark, shiny hair.
Not long after that, she sle-pt off and I brou-ght out my as-signment.
đ« The next day đ«
I woke up at exactly 5 Oâclock and I went to the bathroom, after bathing, I carried Lenita into the bathroom to bath her.
The maid had prepared our breakfast so we just ate and my driver drove me to school but not after dropping Lenita in school.
âGood morning guysâ I greeted
âGood morning, hope you had a good night rest?â Jessie asked and I nodded positively
Jessamyn made way for me to pas-s and I sat down quietly
âWhat subject are we having now?â Samyn asked
âLit-In-Englishâ I replied
âïž Writerâs POV âïž
They spent the whole week in peace, nothing happened to anyone and no one find out who Jessamyn really is.
Chris has alre-ady bec@mÂŁ friends with Jessamyn and co.
On Monday, the following week, all preparation for Valentine had been made.
đ Chris Morris đ
âNow I feel like today is Valentineâ I said
âWait till tomorrow bro, your crush isnât running awayâ Wisdom said and we all laughed
âYouâre right, she isnât running awayâ I said
âWho is she? Tell usâ Jessica said and I win-ked at her
âHum! No nee-d of saying her name, we alre-ady know herâ Jessamyn said
âAlright, who is she?â I asked, I wanna be sure if they knew her truly
âDonât worry, you know who weâre talking aboutâ Lisa said
âYes, we know her alre-ady, so no nee-d of telling usâ Archie said
âItâs alright, letâs wait and seeâ
đ«đ Valentineâs day đđ«
đ Still on Chris Morris đ
âYipppeeeeeee!! đđđ, The day has finally arrived, I canât wait to see Tiana Hathawayâ Jessica shouted running around in the clas-sroom
âBetter donât fallâ I said
âAnd if she fallâŠ?â Wisdom asked
âHe will carry herâ Lisa said and we laughed
We went to the hall and sat in the front row so that we can see Tiana Hathaway very well.
Not long after we c@mÂŁ into the hall, students started trooping in. In no time, the hall was filled with students and the Snr prefect boy c@mÂŁ to address us.
âGood morning everyoneâ he greeted
âGood morningâ we all answered
âToday is the day we all are looking forward to, Iâm very sure youâre all waiting to see Tianaâ
âYeeeessssssâ
âAlright, letâs be sitted quietly as she said she is on her way here, in five minutes, Iâm sure sheâll arrivedâ the Snr prefect boy said and we all sat down quietly.
â„ïž Archie Myers â„ïž
Samyn excused herself and went out
âMake sure you come back quic-kly, you know Tiana will soon arriveâ Lisa said while Samyn nodded and rushed out.
I alre-ady know what sheâs going to do, I canât wait to see her appear in front of us all.
