🎻 KELANIE 🎻
“oh my! This is getting serious someone loves you Kel” Fiona said when I told them about the paper. Selene was also pres£nt
“Tell that someone that am not interested” I stated
“Just let him get hurt”
“that’s not fair Phoebe” Selene chuckled
“They’ve been hurting her in the name of love” Phoebe said
“He could be different you just can’t tell” Selene insisted
Phoebe scoffed “he could be worse you just can’t tell”
Selene chuckled and stared at me “what do you say?”
“I can’t love again Selene, the heart break is much and I’ve suffered a lot. Am not gonna give anyone a chance again”
She shrugged then said “If you wish”
“The homecoming game is on Wednesday” I said changing the t©pic then added “Too bad am not among the cheerleaders squad”
“You’ve done a lot Kelanie, there’s nothing wrong in not being p@rt of this one” That was Selene
“She’s right” Blue supported
“I wonder who’ll get the crown of homecoming king and queen” Fiona said
“I just wanted to be a queen” Selene drawled
“We all want to be crowned” I laughed
“It’s gonna be you Kelanie” Selene said sadly
“You just can’t tell” I said
“The homecoming king and queen gets a trip to Miami after NYN” Phoebe said
“Wow!” Selene mouthed with her hands on her che-st “it could me and my dream b©yfri£nd”
“Who’s your dream b©yfri£nd?” Zion asked
Selene chuckled “I’d rather leave that unsaid”
“Hope it’s not Angelou” Phoebe seethed
“dunno” Selene shrugged still smiling
“Phoebe stay away from Angelou” Fiona warned
“or what?”
Zion got up and charged at them “can you both st©p going crazy for my b©yfri£nd?”
“Do they like love one boy?” Selene asked
“isn’t obvious?” I replied with a question
“let’s excuse them” Blue said then we ti-p toed out.
AT THE CAFETERIA 🍰🍔
“a special order” a waitress said and placed a tray on my table
I stared at the tray then turned to the waitress “who placed it?”
“Anonymous” she replied with a wi-nk and walked off
Blue beamed “someone doesn’t want you to starve”
The others had gone to get our food so it was just I and Blue left on the table. I re-moved the lid and BOOM! There was no food in the plate, just a paper

I looked at Blue after re-ading the letter and she was grinning.
“secret admirer huh?” she scoffed
“someone is alre-ady eating” Zion chuckled and placed a tray on the table and so did Phoebe and Fiona
“You alre-ady emptied the dish. Was it that delicious?” Phoebe laughed
“Here’s the food” I said and gave them the paper
“another secret admirer” Zion said when they were done
“We should investigate cause I think that whoever this secret admirer is, is the pilot of the paper jets” Phoebe said
“you can’t find out who a secret admirer unless he opens up” Blue said
“Blue is right” I agreed
“let’s just wait till he finally shows himself, he can’t keep admiring in secret forever” Blue added
“What are you girls talking about?” Tristan asked from behind
“someone has… ”
Blue covered Phoebe’s mouth to prevent her from talking “never mind”
Tristan gave me a questioning look then said “I just c@m£ to say hi, am actually going to join the guys”.
“okay” I nodded and he walked out to meet the guys at their table
“what was that for?” Phoebe asked when Tristan was gone
“How could you think of telling him about the secret admirer stuff?”
“Tristan is our best friend and p@rt of us, there’s nothing wrong with him knowing” Phoebe said demonstrating with her hands in the air
“There’s something wrong” I said
“what’s wrong?” Phoebe demanded to know
I sighed “never mind”
Phoebe rolled her eyes and her eyes drifted to Angelou who was leaving the cafeteria. “Are you still going to continue living with Angelou?” she asked
“no” I shook my head “we’ll go get our things today”
“how was living with him?” Fiona asked
“not bad” I replied honestly
We faced our food till lunch time was over then we headed for our various clas-ses. When school dismissed, I stood outside the gate waiting for Angelou so we would go get our things. A car was alre-ady arranged to take us there but it hadn’t arrived yet and Angelou was nowhere to be found. I waited for almost an hour but there was no sign of Angelou nor the car. I tried entering the school to check on Angelou but the security men wouldn’t let me in, insisting that there was no one left in the school.
I waited till it was very late in the evening and it was getting dark then I called Festus so he would pick me up but he wasn’t answering. I shoved my phone into my pocket and started trekking home.
I hadn’t gone far from the school when I felt I was been followed. It was late alre-ady and the street wasn’t too bright. I increa-sed my pace and the person did same. I got scared and made to run when a hand from nowhere dragged me into a corner.
The space was ti-ght and our bodies were tou-ching. I knew it was a guy cause his breath was on my face.
The person who was following me pas-sed without seeing us and whoever dragged me muttered “robbers”
I quic-kly recognized the voice as Angelou’s and it really was him when he asked “are you okay?”
“Angelou” I called “where have you been?”
“sorry if I kept you waiting, something c@m£ up and I had to leave school and it lasted till dusk”
I sighed “it’s okay can we still make it?”
“sure let’s go” he said and pu-ll-ed me out that was when I realized his hands were on my w@!st all these while because of the little space.
“There’s a bus st©p…”
“let’s trek” he said and walked off ahead
The walk was long and boring cause we weren’t talking to each other and I got really tired.
“can’t we talk of anything even if it’s books?” I asked in frustration
He st©pped and turned to look at me “are you tired?” he asked with his eyes on my shoes which I held in my hands.
“yes” I nodded
“here let me help” he took my shoes then squ-atted before me
“a piggy back ride?” I questioned
“just get on, am only being nice cause someone asked me to” he replied and I reluctantly got on his back. He slid his hands un-der my legs and held me firm. I felt tickles in my stomach but ignored it. It was weird, a piggy back ride from Angelou. I never expected that.
He walked slowly but steadily till we arrived at the mansion. The driver who was supposed to take us there was standing at the gate. He chuckled and looked away when he saw us and I tried getting down but Angelou held me firmly and I didn’t want to argue.
He entered the mansion and everywhere was surprisingly dark.
Angelou put me down and I muttered a “thank you”
We walked into the sitting room and started groping frantically for the switch. I di-pped my hand into my pocket and brou-ght out my phone but it accidentally fell from my hand and smashed on the floor.
“be careful” I heard Angelou said then I felt his hand on my stomach. I froze at his t©uçh as he traced it up to my che-st. He probably thought he was tou-ching the wall or something.
I didn’t know how to react not to appear stupid but when his hand got to my che-st, I screamed and fell on the floor in an attempt to run and BOOM!
He found the switch and the light c@m£ on. I was sitting on the floor with my hands supporting myself.
We stared at each other wordlessly with me not knowing what to say and him not knowing how to apologize.
“Am sorry” he finally said and walked out. I watched him climb up the stairs till he was out of sight then I got up and stared at myself.
Am so crazy to had screamed and fallen like that. It was a mistake, what was I thinking. I picked up my phone then went into my room and arranged my things in my box then waited for Angelou in the sitting room.
He c@m£ out with his bag and walked outside without saying anything to me. I got up then carried my bag and followed him.
“let me help” the driver offered then carried my box into the car.
Angelou was alre-ady sitting at the backseat and not wanting to sit with him, I sat at the pas-s£nger seat.
The car cruised into the street and I gazed out the window into the night.
Today was very stressful and I can’t put everything that happened into writing. I sighed and my eyes went to the rear view mirror, Angelou staring at me and for the first time he didn’t look away when I caught him. We held the state till the car c@m£ to a halt and I j£rked back to reality.
I was home.
I got down and the driver helped me bring out my box while Angelou sat in the car.
“Thanks” I said to the driver
“Goodnight” he greeted and entered the car.
I glanced at Angelou and the dude was staring at me throu-gh the side mirror but this time, he looked away and the car drove off.
Crazy right?
