As I walked back I sighted my bestie standing in front of the class, i moved closer and gave him a hug.

“good morning the bestest bestie” he gave me a quick peck on my check.

“YOU’VE been crying again for that fool abi, I’ve told you to move on and forget about him, see what he’s making you go through, you failed all your tests”

“You saw my test scripts!! ” ” I was the one that gave them to Anita I made sure no one else saw it”

“Ooh, thanks bestie, I owe you one” “What are friends for, but please I don’t like what I saw” “Don’t worry Val it will never repeat itself, I promise” “I hope so ooh, so what did Mrs Kalu say to you” “We just had a mother and daughter conversation and I feel very relived” “Mother and daughter kee, you didn’t tell me anything ooh”

I sighted our biology teacher coming, ” Bestie abeg that one na story for another day, I think *Osmosis* is coming to our class” “We will catch up during break na” “Na for your head oh” “I’m always the gentle man”

I quickly ran to take her books and bags. I’m the captain of my class and that was my duty.

*****later that day****

After a hectic day, I sat on my bed and checked my phone, I saw a message from Eric, usually I’ll just delete it without reading but this time was different, I was ready to face him so I opened the message. It read ******Leah, I’m so sorry, please give me a chance to see you on Saturday*******

I wanted to reply but I called instead, it rang once and he picked.

“Hello……. Hello, Leah baby….”

My heart melted at the sound of his voice, I could feel those butterfly in my stomach, he voice so sweet and calm, so suiting to my heart, then the scene of that girl riding him hærd and him mo-ning, came, flashed through my mind, me, I could feel my Anger building but I fought it, I had to overcome this if I must move forward.

He was still online. “hello Eric, good evening, I forgive you and you can come visit me on Saturday”

“My love thank you so much, this means a lot to me”

“so Saturday then, I gat to go now, I want to read my books” “OK dear, good night” “Bye” I ended the call and a gave a heavy sigh.

Anita came over to my bunk. “I’m glad you finally settled things with him” “Yeah, I feel relived, I can’t keep holding the grudge against him” “You really love him don’t you” “Yes I do but I don’t know if I can still trust him after what happened” “I understand, just open your heart and put yourself first before anything else”

“OK ooh, relationsh¡p advicer, oya go to your bunk I have books to catch up with” “Heeey, I’m happy to hear that ooh, my friend is back again, who knows what Mrs Kalu did to you because you changed immediately you came out from her office ” ” Well let’s just say she just made me realize something I never knew existed”

“God bless her for me because I thought I was losing my friend to depression” “Oya ooh, tatafo come and go to your bunk you too like gist” “I’m going me I also have books to read”

I brought out my Maths books, it was my best subject, so I decided to start with it. After solving some problems and satisfied with my achievement for the night, I said a prayer, thanking God for sending me help through my form mistress, also asking him to help me achieve my dreams, I also asked God to bless her and also my Dad too and all my friends. I slept that night with smiles on my face dreaming where I was already a pediatrician and taking care of children.

****next day***

Saturday mornings are always stressful because its inspection day, we had, to sweep, weed, mop and tidy every nook and crany of the hostel, all the house in *dorm* competed to be the neatest house of the week because the house with the highest number of winnings gets and award annually and a cash price of 200k. So it was a serious deal, house mistress are everywhere making sure their house Comes out the best and my house is no exception. My house mistress is a no nonsense woman and she makes sure we leave no stone unturned. It’s not a surprise that we’ve won that award for three years back-to-back and it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to give up that title.

As expected we won again this week but all my house mates were exhausted as usual but today was exception because it’s a visiting day. Parents are allowed to visit their children every last Saturday of the month and most students always looked forward to it, but for me it’s not special. At first it used to be a bad day for me because I’ll watch other parents come to visit their children, especially their mum, but no one will come to visit me, my dad is always busy or he will not be around, sometimes he even forgets. But those sad days are over, at least I grew up. My dad sends his driver instead the following Monday to bring me provisions and spicy take out foods.

I guess I’m used to it now. Also Anita’s mum also makes me feel I have a second mum, that woman is God sent, I envy my friend a lot, and if one could steal a mum I’d have done that a long time ago.

I was lying on my bunk reading Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus when Ayo, my school sister started pulling my legs

“senior Gloria, your brother is waiting for you downstairs ” They all thought Eric was my brother except Anita.

“Ok let’s go and see him” Ayo and I were so fond of each other, she will officially become my school daughter when our school mother passes out”

ERIC POV

Finally I was going to see the love of my life today, I decided to shop for her, buying everything I know she likes, I also but a card and a flower, I was ready to make up for my mess..

As soon as I got to her hostel I sighted one little girl I always see her with, I believe is her school daughter, I couldn’t remember her name so I just signaled her to come. The way she ran to me shows she recognized me.

“Hello little angel how are you ” ” I’m fine, you are my school sister’s brother Uncle Eric right” “Yes and what’s that your pretty name again” “My name is Ayo” “OK Ayo, can you please call Leah for me” “OK” She ran immediately.

I wiped the sweat from my face as my heart started to beat, I became nervous as if I was going for Exam, I didn’t know what to expect.

I saw her coming, looking as beautiful and adorable as ever, this was the first girl I feel in love with, I couldn’t see myself loving another. She smiled as she saw me, displaying her gap dentition and deep dimples, I swear this girl dey burst my brain.

“Good afternoon Eric ” ” Afternoon dear”

She immediately instructed Ayo and one other girl to carry the things I got her in,side and we walked to our usual hidden s₱0t under a tree.

I knelt in front of her and poured out all the feelings I’ve been bolting for the last 1 month

“Leah, I messed up, I don’t even have an excuse for what I did, I’m so sorry, please give me another chance and I swear to you, ill never hurt you again”

By the time I finished she was already crying

“Eric you really hurt me, can you believe I failed my last test, but I forgive you, promise me it will never happen again”

“I swear on my life my love, it will never happen again”

I stood up and embraced her tightly I looked at her face, I cleaned the stray tears still lingering in her chicks, and swore to my heart a million times never to hurt her again, I had missed this moment for so long, staring into her eyes as if searching for a diamond in it and car-ssing her soft face, her l-ips so tempting, I planted a k-ss on them and she responded hurriedly , we k-ssed passionately as my hands started rom-ncing all over from her boost to her h¡ps…..

“What’s going on here”

We quickly separated to find someone one staring at us with a very mean look

******************

Who caught them?

LEAH POV

All the anger I felt towards Eric went away as he k-ssed me, I felt his hands moving around my b-obs and it awakened so much pleasure in me

I found myself mo-ning in between the the k-ss, the feelings was just out of this world until suddenly, I heard a deep voice and I jerked away from him,

turning I saw Valentine looking as if he had just seen a ghost,

I felt relieved that it was him and not a teacher or else I would have been in hot soup,

although I was already feeling embarrassed , there was a moment of silence before I decided to speak.

“Hey bestie, surprised to see you ”

He just stared at me blankly, I could see he was hurt, and he was trying to fight tears but I didn’t understand why he felt that way,

I could also sense Eric was not comfortable so I had to come up with a solution to ease the tension building .

” Hey bestie , you look like you have just been hit by a train are you ok”

“Ohhh yes, I guess I was just stunned to see you two k-ssing and smoshing each other it seems you guys made up”

“Yes bestie, I couldn’t hold the grudges for so long, so how did you find us”

“Let’s just say I alway have my eyes on you, it’s my duty to protect you as your bestie.

Leah if you don’t mind I’ll like to have a word with Eric in private please ”

“What’s so special that you can’t say it in front of me”

“it’s just guys talk, we’ll be back before you know it”

I wasn’t comfortable but it seemed Eric read my mind and he spoke

“Baby, i think whatever he has to say it’s important, please excuse us,” he gave me a k-ss while standing up

“OK oh, you guys shouldn’t keep me waiting”

I watched as they walked out together but I could sense all was not well with my bestie, I made a mental note to talk to him later.

I started feeling bored when they left before Eric’s phone caught my attention, so I picked it up and unlocked it, a part of me wanted to go through the phone,while another was scre-ming drop the phone

I eventually gave in, he still had the last picture we took together as his screen saver, just then a WhatsApp message entered, I opened it and it read

******baby boo, I know you enjoyed me the last time we had it, i miss your d**k so much, right now I’m w-t just thinking of your d**k hærd in,side my p***y, riding me hærd. Can I come over to your place*****

Another message came in and it was a picture of her w-t p***y

My heart boiled in rage, I felt my knee go numb, my eyes became full threatening to explode any minute, I still held the phone looking at the pictures when I heard Eric voice

“baby are you OK”, as if on que he took the phone from me

“baby it’s not what you think…. Baby please let me explain”

The next thing I heard was a heavy punch, Valentine was already on top Eric landing several blows to his face.

I scre-med and begged, also trying to pull Valentine away from Eric, before he stopped and let him go, by then Eric was already bleeding from his nose.

I quickly gave him my hand towel to clean up himself.

“Eric I think you should leave now please”

“baby please let me explain, it’s not what you think I…….

“She said leave” Val interfered.

” Shut up both of you!!!! Eric please leave me for now”

I saw he felt bad, but I needed time to calm down.

“OK my love,just know I’ll never hurt you intentionally ” he replied defeated.

” it’s OK, take care of yourself and call me as soon as you get home”

“Bye love”. He said leaving.

As he walked away, a part of me wanted to call him back and look at his bleeding nose, but I was hurt too, I decided to let him go.

I turned to face Valentine who was already bowing his head

“Can you please tell me the meaning of what you just did, you have no right to hit him, it’s me he hurt not you” I yelled at him

“Yes, I agree that I have no right to hit him, but I don’t regret it, if I have the opportunity I’ll hit him again, he such a useless, pathetic…….

That was it, I couldn’t take it anymore more and I gave him a hot slap.

I didn’t know why I did that, I felt remorse and thought of apologising, but I thought against it, he deserved that for hiting Eric the way he did.

“Even if you slap me a hundred times, it won’t stop me from hiting anyone that hurts you, because the moment he made you drop a tear he wagged a war with me.

No one can ever mess with you, because I love you so much, I can never watch you get hurt”

With that he walked away from me. I stood there transfixed not sure of what I heard. The words kept replaying in my head……. “I love so much”

It can’t be possible, he is my bestie and nothing more.

I tried convincing myself but what I saw in his eyes gave me a reason to doubt.

I walked back to my hostel still asking myself the same question

Does he really love me?

VALENTINE POV

My heart broke a thousand times when I saw Leah and that Eric guy going towards the cashew tree at the back of the school field, they didn’t see me because where I was, was hidden.

It was a very quiet place which I normally visit every Saturday to put my emotions Into sketches of beautiful work of art.

Out of curiosity, I decided to follow them to see what they were up to.

When they settled at the tree i still hid be hind, for some reason I wanted to leave but a part of me really wanted to know what was going to happen,

I was still making up my mind when soft mo-ns distracted my reasoning, I was shocked to see that They were k-ssing passionately.

That moment, all my hormones started rising in anger, i drew my fist ready to attack. In my range I busted out and they separated.

I battled with my emotions for a while and I finally calmed down……..

I drank the remaining coffee I was holding and threw the cup to the wall smashing it in the process.

“oboy no break person head oh, na the cup do you” My conner mate Nelson brought me back to reality making me realize the damage I just caused.

Quickly I began clearing the broken pieces before I would start answering jamb questions.

“my guy, I’ve told you countless times, tell this babe how you feel about her, forget this bestie stuff, stop dying in silence.

“Imagine watching her k-ssing another guy, its time to take my chances bro, I can’t continue like this”

“na now you com, omo no dulling for this thing ooh, before you go dey for river soap enter your eye”

“true talk man, I really love this girl bro, I see my future with her”

“all you need do is to change your package ”

“I will do whatever it takes to get her”

“that’s the spirit bro! that’s the spirit!

The dinning bell rang and we started preparing for dinner, I concluded that I’ll talk to Leah and officially start my plans of wooing her.

I took out my well ironed check and trousers, applied body spray and combed my hair, I got good looks I’m not surprised so many girls were throwing their self on me, but I only wanted one person and that is my bestie, and I will get her.

Eric POV

Lookingat my swollen l-ips and red eye on my mirror made me hate that bastard more.

I always knew he had something for my Leah, and to make matters worse he warned me to stay away from her, he even had the guts to hit me.

And then that stupid girl, sending me those rubbish stuff when I was trying to make things right between I and Leah.

She must pay for ruining my date also that bastard for hitting me, meanwhile I I will concentrate first on settling things with my girl.

I took out my phone to call her.

“hello Eric, are you home now”

“yes my love, I’m sorry for what happened, please it’s not what you are think”

“please let’s not talk about that, anyway I’m so sorry about the episode my friend put up, I apologize on his be half”

“it’s OK, I mean he’s your bestie and was only trying to protect you”

“still doesn’t give him the right to hit you ”

“I love you Leah, I really do. I wish all these never happened, I miss us”

“I miss us too, I beg to end the call now, it’s almost time for dinner ”

” OK love, take care I love you ” ” love you too, bye”

I felt relived hearing her say those words, at least I’m making improvements, “this calls for celebration!”.

I went out to grab a bottle of chilled Hero.
