Dominique's POV

"Guy, if she no show na cast we don cast be that oh" I hollered loudly to Arthur and he nodded in agreement.

Sure I liked Silvana as a friend yes, I did. I do. But still, I can't go through public embarrassment if she doesn't show up, people were already staring at us weirdly in this stupid ass school courtyard.

Luck we had was that teachers were absent during night prep if not ehn.

Damn. Fuck me hardcore if I'd agreed to this.

"Guy, calm down. I thought things through, of course she won't show up. She's stubborn like that. That's why we're standing in the middle of the building with this stupid stereo like that waiting for her to walk in. She won't miss night prep for nothing. She won't miss us." Nonso explained and I huffed at his statement.

Doesn't mean she can't turn on her heels once she sees us.

And hey, she's smart. She'll probably come in through the junior block.

Or something.

But then again, she can't enter science class without passing us somehow.

We could probably sight her above from below.

Cool.

She could sneak pass.

Damn.

This plan was so going to fuck up... So many loopholes.

Five minutes later, she did walk in through the front main door of this stupid ass building.

She'd halted immediately and her eyes widened at the sight of her set mates and former boyfriend all dressed up in matching tuxedos.

Dressed up in matching tuxedos.

That's probably why Munachi's staring at us like that.

Staring at Arthur like that.

Oboy! See lust eeio!

Her eyes changed to saucer pans and her jaw dropped.

Now if I knew they were all going to act like this... I'd have agreed to do this since tey tey

This was comical relief mehn.

Jasmine's books dropped and Willy..
Oh Willy acted different.

So different.

"What are you idioticas doing out there?!" Silvana yelled out a foreign language at us. Probably Spanish.

Yeah yeah, we get it. You paid attention in Spanish class... Yeah yeah.

"Idioticas means Idiots. You probably wouldn't know that since you're so stupid." Willy muttered rudely, no,no,no.. Guy just insulted Nonso, rudely and upon that he was still throwing daggers with his eyes at Nonso.

I recognized that look in his eyes when he stared back at Silvana.

It was all too familiar to miss.

Everything suddenly made sense now.

I was about to say something smart to him but Nonso shook his head discreetly at me.

He knew the look too, in fact he looked like he's always known.

But still! Like guy! Don't stop me.

"Yeah gay kid. Thank you." Kenneth grumbled and Nonso gave out the signal.

He pressed his fingers against each hand while looking at me.

I pressed play on the stereo box.

A soothing melody filled the air, I'd personally chosen this song as a starter for Nonso. It was an instrumental.

Nothing special about it, but yeah yeah.

I selected it.

The man of the hour, Nonso walked towards Silvana

And the cockhead did it...! He dropped to his knees in front of her.

Guy, when did i start clapping? When did those junior girls in SS1 start clapping too?

"Please Silvana. Please forgive me. Please, all I need is a second chance. " He was whispering yet we all heard him.

The senior building was suddenly quiet, like drop a pin on the grass and you'd hear it.

Everyone in here, right from the last floor down to this floor were all staring at us.

Nonso had really gotten everyone's attention.

The song switched to the song Nonso had chosen, according to him this was Silvana's favorite song. According to him this song had made her cry when she was re-watching Twilight.

... A thousand years.

The piano beat started slowly and Silvana stretched out her hand, she was trying to hide her grin but was failing miserably.

I'm sure even she could have never expected this much effort.

Nonso took her palm and stood up graciously, I stepped back and so did Arthur.

"You remembered." Her voice was croaky and low, he nodded and smiled at her.

They walked further into the courtyard and Nonso shakily wrapped his hands round her waist and pulled her closer.

I never viewed Nonso as a tall guy, I was taller than him. But yeah he was definitely taller than Silvana, the way he kept looking down at her emphasized their height difference.

They moved slowly, shifted their body weight between their left and right legs, and moved sideways. They were dancing.

Nonso took her left hand and raised it up a bit, he twirled her and then laid her backwards slowly. He didn't let her body touch the ground but she was really close to it.

Fuck!

This guy has messed up our dance rehearsal. He wasn't meant to let her go that low, God. I knew he'd fuck this up somehow.

But, he didn't. Her left hand was fisting his shirt and they were staring deep into each other's eyes. Nonso seemed to recover first and he pulled her up so perfectly that one would never guess that he'd made a mistake in the dancing that had taken him an hour to practice.

They continued dancing and he kept twirling her countless times, one time he'd even raised her high and twirled her while she giggled loudly.

Two minutes later and the song ended.

Now it was time for us to do our second part, after being handsome and perfect that is.

Kenelum's POV

Guy. Why these people dey look us like we thief dem Christmas chicken?

Even if I thief am, una no fit do me anything so no dey look me!

Nonso suppose pay us for all these things oh!

Time don reach.

He don show sign.

Nonso held Silvana's hand and stepped back with her, Munachi con smile at me and she na wan resemble person way wan laugh me.

Guy! No too think am o! Na Diana dey cause these shits, like na she dey change me oh. Why else I go agree to this kain disgrace.

Speak of the girl, ehen she don land. We suppose get role to dance.

She stepped into the courtyard like arranged and I put my hand round her waist, my niggas cleared space for us in the middle of the court yard and I led my queen to the centre.

We'd practiced this scene hours ago, yet everything now no just clear. How I suppose hold am again?

Dominique no just even give me time at all before he press play for the speaker again and one white woman's two thousand and two song started playing..

Thank God Diana know watin she suppose do, she removed her body from me and danced round me, then she con appear con peck my lips following the lyrics of the song.

The short kiss wey she give me con make me remember wetin we suppose to dey do and I followed her dancing figure round the areas we suppose be on in the courtyard.

I caught up to her and pulled her closer to my chest and most people in the courtyard started clapping, like watin concern una?

We both started dancing in sync, I moved my left hand right after she moved hers and I followed her descriptive dance steps.

She con finally push me away and continue to dey dance weirdly again round the yard, I followed her again and just when I was about to hold unto her this stupid bell rang from the stereo, naihim she con escape.. Like planned.

I no follow her this time, instead I started dancing; stomping my left and right leg respectively on the ground with my hand outstretched by my sides before I started breaking and flexing my limbs Arthur joined in with the real rose bouquet that cost an arm and leg to get in his hand and copied my dance steps, he threw it up when the time reached and Segun, Kenneth and Dominique joined to do what we were now both doing.

I stopped dancing like that when Diana shouted "Hold up" with the musician. Arthur soon followed and they copied.

Arthur and the rest stepped back and Diana walked over to my front, kissed me and I knew what next was meant to happen.

No mean say I ready for am.

She slapped me painfully, twice... imitating the way Silvana had slapped Nonso then she shoved me backwards that I almost fell. If she didn't mutter 'sorry' right after, I'm sure she don enjoy the slap wey she dash me now now.

Shay we go see later on this night, you go feel am.

I smirked at her and laid on the floor.. The dirty dirty sandy soil so she could walk on me with her tiny legs, she brought out the pictures from her house wear gown.. Pictures of random teenage girls, raised it high up so everyone could see it.. So Silvana could see it and bent low to slap me with them.

You go suffer.

I smirked again, she slapped me and tore up the pictures.. The pictures were supposed to be the girls I've cheated on her with. She raised up her head to smile at Silvana and we all hoped she understood.

Cause guy I no fit act this kain shit again.

And came down from me, I stood up and ignored the strong feeling to dust my back since it wasn't in the scene then I dropped to my knees to 'beg' her.

She frowned at me and stared hard at me. I know say we dey act watin Nonso and Silvana suppose do, but why e feel like say she dey really look me like say I don really cheat and I dey beg for her forgiveness?

She continue to dey look me o, till her lips con twitch and a smile appeared. She nodded her head rapidly and I stood up quickly to kiss her lips very very very passionately.

Like I just channel all my anger wey dey for the slap wey she slap me con kiss her.

Few minutes later Arthur started coughing, I get watin he no talk so I pulled away from her and the song switched to that Nasty C guy's song.

At least I liked this song. And there's rap too.. Made sense.

Diana turned away from me so I was starring at her back.

"How did I-" I echoed when the song started playing and less than a second later Diana joined

"-End up falling for you?..." Hearing her sing made me excited, yes she just dey follow the female musician but at least the volume no too loud.

So I was mainly hearing her angelic voice.

She matched so perfectly with this white woman singing.

If the last song didn't work or pass any hint to Silvana this song should, I don hear say Nasty C sing the song for him girlfriend 'ter he cheat.

'Im suppose work.

She turned to look at me and she-we then both sang together while glaring at each other.

"I feel you, I feel you, I feel you, I feel you ABC..." We sang together so perfectly and I no fit stop the smile wey plaster my face.

"... I wish it could be, like ABC."

Time for my own part biko.

I stepped back while she acted the part of Silvana, she was whispering the parts with Nasty C poking my chest and coming at me violently.

Huge turn on.

"She ask me" I mouthed and let her continue.

"Nonso do you like it when I cry"

Poke.

"Do you consider my feelings when you lie, Huh. You put me second to some bitch on the side." She continued singing and assaulting me.

"What?" I muttered with Nasty C.

" You just gon' let a ride or die, die inside,Damn."

Shove, push, shove.

"You forget I was with you before the racks came, before these skanks came, before the plaques came, before you two started fucking and your stats changed"

She wiped a real tear off her left eye.

That was no part of the script at all.

"I was with you when you was still thinking about changing your IG name, nigga!" She pushed me and I lost balance for half a second.

Sha, I no fall.

" Say something now." She mouthed and continued.

"Are you choking?"

"Baby I'm sorry" I said lowly and really meant it.

"Are you joking? So much for convincing me to be open I don't know why I bother with you When you've clearly chosen, the sex over me. It owns all your emotions and you really have to give it your undivided devotion." Now she was rapping.

"But somehow my heart feels safer when you hold it. Like you not the one that broke it." The song ended then.

And we kept staring at each other till we realized that we were both just acting... Or were we?

Kenneth's POV.

Last time it was Arthur who'd coughed, now it was me. Like, why wasn't anyone doing as rehearsed.

Diana pulled away from him and could as well as have ran out of the courtyard with the way she walked so quickly, Kenelum followed suit immediately and I rolled my eyes at the two of them.

Love eeio.

He's probably going to patch things up with her -for good this time. The way he stared at her.. Reminded me of a younger me and a younger her and if he didn't beg for her forgiveness for all the girls he banged while they were somewhat together and asked her to be his official main B then he'd lose her like I lost her.

The song changed to Jason Derulo's, Whatcha say and Nonso smiled weakly at Silvana then stepped into the mini stage.

Never thought I'd see this day.. Kenelum and Nonso both in love.

Nonso's own was coming, yes I get. He liked her since: but his crush could've died out five years from now. He could've forgotten her then if they didn't date but now he was in love

He couldn't forget his first love even if he wanted to.

The same way I can't forget my first love. Seeing her everyday in school doesn't even help matters.

Nonso started breakdancing -exactly like planned.

Thankfully.

Just when DeRulo started singing.

The song fitted perfectly with their situation and I couldn't help but watch Silvana.

Her facial expression flickered between adoration and anger.

It got tense when he walked to her, danced and knelt down while acting.

Silvana threw her face away and tried to detach her palm from his. He took the hint and continued dancing.

We all predicted she'd act like this.

So she just made our rehearsal worth it. Made the trouble and stress we've put into this worth it. Like, we even remixed Nasty C's lyrics.. Okay, maybe getting Kenelum and Diana to say different things at different parts of the song wasn't exactly remixing.

But still, she better say yes.

He continued dancing well and I stopped watching him and tried to find my former love interest.

My current heartbreak.

She'd be here... She couldn't be anywhere without drama, she loved gisting. Anything newsworthy and she'd be there, so she must be here.

Now where was she?

I scanned the environment I was in, properly and thoroughly until I found her, her gleaming eyes glaring straight into mine.

Even angry she looked beautiful.

She always looked beautiful.

Her pink thick lips were pouting at me and I wondered how the people around her weren't curious as to know who she was staring at like that.

Why her supposed friends couldn't figure out our secret... our history.

Her perfectly carved eyebrow raised upwards as she stared me down, yet I couldn't prevent the sad smile I gave her.

"That could've been us. But you never loved me enough to fight for me." Inaudible but I'd read her lips perfectly, I'd read Chiamaka's lips perfectly and my heart broke again.

How wrong was she ?

Like, I wanted to fight for you.

I just... couldn't choose you.

Jasmine's POV

"I'm so sorry for everything-"

"-Why's he apologizing!? " One annoying voice like that whispered behind me, her voice interrupted me from hearing what Nonso was saying to Silvana again on his knees. I almost turned to slap her.

"Asin eh. She's the one that doesn't want him to fuck her. All these SS2 blue house boys eh, only love love love full their minds. Even Kenelum of all people have fallen in love!? Kenelum that used to dash girls slap anyhow?" Another girl said behind me, I was really about to turn to dash who ever that was her owns slap when Williams squeezed my palm.

Oh Williams... Sweet sweet Williams.

I'm not even being a compassionate friend, you're watching the love of your life with the love of her life and I'm here looking for who to slap.

"Do you think she'll forgive him? " He asked in a low voice.

I'd never been a good liar so I decided to be honest.

"Put yourself in her shoes, after everything he's done to serenade her. Won't you forgive him? "

He sighed dramatically.

"Well, I'd forgive him but I won't get back with him. He cheated. He doesn't deserve a second chance... Especially when I never even got one. " He was sad, I wish I could hug him right now but now Munachi wouldn't need to second guess why I was sympathizing with Williams when Nonso was serenading Silvana successfully.

No one would. It'll be that obvious.

"That part is your fault. You never told her how you felt. You joined our clique so you could get close to her, instead you got friend zoned. You fucked up. " I whispered to him and switched back my attention to Nonso and Silvana.

Why was he still on his knees?

Oh God! See how many things I've missed eh!

"Munachi, what's happening? What did he say? Why's she looking at him like that? Why's he still kneeling down? Shouldn't they be kissing by now?" I tapped Munachi's back in other to get her attention while asking my questions.

She turned to look at me and quirked her brows at Williams and I's interlocked hands.

I giggled, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

"She forgave him. He then asked her out again. She's thinking. " Short but precise and accurate replies.

One major thing I loved about her. Straight to the point, why can't I just be like her eh?

"Do you think she'll accept him back? " Williams asked her and she shrugged.

"She has pride the size of pluto. Yet love as big as the sun. "

"So you think she'll accept him?" He asked again and the sadness in his voice was clear.

Munachi quirked her eyebrow at him and her eyes slowly widened in realization and I wasn't surprised, it was like he wanted the whole world to see the emotions he'd kept hidden with the way he looked depressed right now.

"I knew it. You liked he-"

"-No." He wasn't slow to deny it... I could've smiled at his lame attempt if I didn't register who'd actually just spoken. If I didn't realize who'd spoken mere steps away.

If Silvana didn't just reject Nonso.

＼(^o^)／❀(*'▽'*)❀＼(^o^)／
