Prince’s Pov👇
Out of nowhere someone just bumped into me, she tripped while I quickly grabbed her wa-ist, stopping her from falling back. It took her few seconds to open her eyes, the moment she saw me, her eyes almost popped out. I don’t know why, but the look she gave me seems to be like she knows me but it’s definitely my first time am seeing her. She quickly moved away from me, she looked back and there was a girl standing from afar looking at her. I wonder who she is, but to me it seems like the lady was after her, before I could open my mouth to say anything to her, she was already running after a taxi. Without looking back, she rushed in and the taxi took off.
I couldn’t see the other lady again, I tried to look for her, searching around me,that was when Jay tapped me on my shoulder; I turned to him. “What’s going on?” Jay asked. “I Don’t know, just some ladies” I replied with my eyes searching for the other lady. “What ladies, what happened to them?” Jay asked. “Don’t worry it’s nothing, let’s go we’re late because of you” I said as I started to walk away. Jay jumped on me, laughing out so loud “Are you mad at me, huh! huh!” he said loudly,still on my back with his arms around my neck. Since he wasn’t ready to get down, I took him that way to the car. Kelvin came out of the car angrily, “And where are the kids?” he asked. “Both Jay and I looked at each other in surprise, Jay got down from me ”What kids are you talking about? I asked. “Since he went there to give birth, I expected him to bring his kids along”. “Damn you Kelvin, you’re so stupid” Jay said as he walked in straight to the car. “Did you see him? He told me that I’m stupid” Kelvin complained. That is it, they won’t stop fighting “Its ok, just leave him, when are you both ending this war” I asked. “Next life” He fired back and entered the car; I entered with him “Don’t worry, next time we are going to leave you behind” Kelvin said. “Suit yourself boy” Jay said with a smile. I quietly placed my hand on Kelvin to stop him from saying anything or else we won’t leave here. He started the car and we zoomed off. . .
Dora’s Pov👇
Did that witch just fall into Prince’s hand? I can’t believe this; she can run away but I will make sure to bring her to her past memories,I will make sure to tie her down when we see again,I won’t let her go easily from me. “Who were you running after?” one of my friends asked me, bringing me back from my thought?” She is just a bitch who once stole my boyfriend from me” I lied. “Oh my Gosh! Really…and you just let her go like that? My other friend asked. “Don’t worry guys, I will get her, are you guys forgetting that it’s me Dora, I will surely get her and besides, she seem to have gained Prince’s attention already. I’ve been sleeping on it already; I should have approached Prince earlier, but I won’t let that bitch win him from me”. I said angrily “I was about to say that too, you’ve been preparing yourself for Prince, don’t allow one silly girl to take him from you” My friend said to me. “You guys are funny, don’t you see the girl, don’t you see Dora, she is not a match with Dora; we all know that Prince has a big taste when it comes to ladies. Dora love! Calm down, Prince is yours, it is you or no one else” My friend said to me happily, lightening up my mood. “That’s why I love you girls” I said as I gave them a big hug. “So shall we go to the party now?” Yes Babe! They both scre-med happily.
Audrey’s Pov👇
I sat in my room doing nothing, just staring at myself in the mirror. The more I think about it, the more I get terrified. I dare not mention anything to Deborah about Dora; I really want to forget about my secondary school nightmares. My mum is enough for me as a responsibility and my dad is there for me to sort out every day; not Dora again, not her again. I am just scared of everything; seeing Dora in school is like an extra burden has been added to my problems. I just want to live my life quietly,why is she making it difficult for me ; I wonder what I did to her that she’s treating me this way. I don’t know why she hates me so much for; I know I’m weak to defend myself. I know there’s nothing I can do to her, it’s not like I don’t try to fight back, I try to,I really do but I just can’t defeat her. I guess this is just how I was created; I was born a weakling, no matter how much I try to forget it I just can’t, because everything she did to me then keeps flashing right before me; the maltreatment, the bullying. . . I. . .yes that’s all I do…to cry. My tears won’t cease flowing, that’s the only thing I’m good at, to just cry and cry till I get tired of it.
I stood from my chair and walked to the drawer beside my bed, I already had headache from all the stress I went through. I took some pain relieve to stop the headache and then went to the bathroom to wash my face. Moving out this way is only going to make Deborah worried, and also my mum. “After washing my face, I dried it with a face towel, I sat in front of my dressing mirror to apply my makeup. “Mum must be waiting for me; since I returned from school I haven’t stepped out of my room” I said to myself. I also needed to make dinner for her so I hurriedly applied my makeup, and took my phone with me because I needed to know about Tina’s health. I entered my mom’s room and found her sleeping. I walked closer to her bed, planting a soft k-ss on her head; guess I have to start cooking dinner before she wakes up.
I walked out of her room quietly and shut the door. I met Deborah in the kitchen cutting some carrots and onions. “What are we having for dinner?” I asked as I walked in. “We are cooking fried rice” she replied. “How was your day?” she asked. “Pretty good” I replied as I went to where we store our rice and began measuring some for cooking. I was washing the rice when she asked “So how is your friend?” She didn’t come to school today; she’s sick” I replied. “Oh! what happened to her?” she asked dropping what she was doing. I turned to her with a smile “It’s nothing, just headache, she’ll be fine” I explained. Deborah caught something from my eyes, and then slowly she moved closer to me, “What’s that?” I asked almost looking away. “Were you crying? Don’t lie to me Audrey, you’ve seen that witch today” She said. “Of course no” I said trying to put on a smile” I didn’t see her, I w….I was just thinking about mum” I lied. “I don’t believe you, because I feel like something happened to you in school. I was wondering why you ran into your room without checking on your mum at first, so you were crying in,side?” Deborah bursted. That’s it! Deborah won’t stop being suspecting. “Trust me Debby, I didn’t see Dora, I was just thinking about Mum; I won’t lie to you that I don’t cry, of course I do, but I was just thinking about mum, that’s all trust me” I lied again. “Are you sure?” she asked “Of course I do” I replied trying to give her the best smile I could. She then moved closer to me, hugging me and patting my back. We released each other from the hug, she smiled at me and I did same. We both continued working and engaged each other in a different discussion….
Prince Pov👇
I arrived back home, but at exact 9pm today. Mama was surprised to see me when I entered the house; I guess she didn’t expect me to be home so quickly. I walked closer to her in the kitchen where she was supervising the girls. “Is that you Prince?” she asked with surprise. “Of course yes Mama, I’m the one” I replied with a grin” “Sure, you were not expecting me, were you?” I asked while I gave her a hug. “Of course, anyways I’m glad you are having dinner with us today” She said. I knew it’s been a while we sat down together to have dinner. I quickly went to my room, took my shower and changed into my pajamas. I met everyone at the dinning; Mum, Dad, Mama and Mr. Daniel. I joined them to eat while Mama served me my food. “How was school today?” My dad asked. “Pretty cool Dad” I replied. “I still don’t know why you’re taking transfer from your school, you have one year left, do you really need to transfer to the US?” My Dad asked during dinner. I was the one who told them that I need a transfer. I just wanted to leave the school because of Nadia. I know I said I moved on, but sometimes I just can’t stop thinking about it; the more I see her, the more I remember the past. “Dad i….i don’t think I want to transfer again.” I replied. “Why? my mum asked surprisingly. Honestly I really want to take that transfer so badly, but I just can’t go again and that’s because of someone; the lady I saw today. Even though I don’t know her, I must confess that she has being on my mind since that afternoon, I couldn’t focus on the party I went to, and to be candid, that was the reason why I came home early today; I just couldn’t take her off my mind. Believe me when I say this, I want to see her again. I really want to know why she was running, she looked so terrified, scared and her face looks sorrowful; I wonder why, there is nothing so special about her face just that she is cute though, yeah she’s cute. But I could sense that there are a lot of things she’s going through and I wonder who the other lady is, the next time I see one of them I will make sure to talk to them especially the one that bumped into me today. I will make sure that the next time I see her, I’ll ask more question about her, her name…” “And why are you not leaving again?” My dad asked, calling me back from my thought. “Dad don’t worry, I just don’t want to leave anymore, you should be glad I’m not leaving again, right” I said trying to stop them from asking me more questions. “Anyway, it’s your choice, I just want you to be ok, you’re our first priority. You were the one who told us that you want to transfer, and you’re still the one telling us now that you no longer want to transfer; I’m sure you have a good reason for it, good you gave it a good thought” my dad said. “Thanks Dad” I said. “Mama, how’re you” I asked. She has been staring at me since and I don’t know why but am sure she was only bothered about the news of my transfer, I told her that I was leaving because of Nadia, she was the only one who knows why I wanted to leave. Telling them I’m not going again must have surprised her; sure when we finish eating she’ll come to my room to find out why. I gave her a wink while she gave me a look of “Are you ok” I just smiled and she did same and then we continued eating . . . .

Audrey and her friend Tina just finished their lecture for the day; they both walked out of the lecture room discussing, Audrey couldn’t stop glancing everywhere; she doesn’t want to see Dora and she is not ready to explain anything to Tina “What’s going on? Is anything the matter…why do you keep looking around?” Tina asked noticing Audrey. “Me? Oh…of course not…nothing is wrong, I was just looking” Audrey stammered. “Anyway don’t forget that I’m paying you a visit this weekend, ok?” “Of course I know, I already planned on what to do when you come” Audrey replied with a smile. “That’s my girl” Tina said hugging Audrey so tight. Tina’s cab was the first to arrive; the moment Tina left Audrey couldn’t stop looking everywhere for Dora. Fortunately her cab arrived on time and she took off immediately.

I arrived back home, but I was surprised to see my Dad in the living room. I thought he should be at work by now, I said to myself. I greeted him but there was no reply, as I was about going in,side he dropped a bombshell, the last thing I was expecting “I paid Deborah off, I sent her away” I hope I didn’t hear him clearly. I turned back to him slowly “You what?” hoping he was going to repeat himself but no he just ignored me and focused on the T.V. In shock I dropped my bag and ran in,side to Deborah’s room praying it was all a joke. Deborah was not in her room, her bags and clothes were all gone. I was already sweating profusely like someone who had just been poured a bucket of water and my legs were too weak to carry me. I staggered out of her room back to the living room, “Why did you send her away…what has she done wrong that made you to send her away” I asked in tears. “I don’t want her again” He replied. I broke down into more tears this time, crying out loud; that was the last thing I had expected, for few seconds I couldn’t think of him as my father”….
