By the time Jemimah woke up, the room was already half empty with only Ayisat in the room. She was lying on her bed and muttering the lyrics to the song that Jemimah was sure she had heard before so she didn't even bother to try to think about it.

Taking her bath and dressing up which normally took a few minutes took Jemima up to an hour. Her eyes were unfocused and her mind was in disarray. Her discussion with Jeremiah the previous night had pointed out a lot of things she had previously ignored and didn't read meanings to. She grabbed her edge control and lipgloss in her wardrobe before turning towards the general restrooms. While each room had a bathroom and toilet, there were still general restrooms at the end of each floor with long full-length mirrors that allowed the girls to take multiple and millions of mirror selfies and pictures.

But the moment Jemimah stepped into the general restroom, she felt her mind go blank at the sight of the person in front of her. Even her unarranged thoughts seemed to have placed themselves on hold while she stared at the person in front of her.

"I'm sure you heard something along the lines of it's not polite to stare at someone and especially so blatantly," the girl said and Jemimah snapped out of her reverie before walking towards the mirror and placing her edge control on the basin.

Jemimah's eyes met the other girl's eyes in the mirror and she watched as the girl turned to her.

'Wow, you are really pretty" she exclaimed with surprise written all over her face while Jemima merely smiled.

"Thank you Annabelle" she replied. Getting such a compliment from someone like Annabelle was top tier but Jemimah had heard the same thing almost every day of her life, she wasn't going to start squealing and blushing like some two-year-old given candy.

"Are you a model?' Annabelle asked turning to the girl beside her while Jemimah shook her head.

"No, I'm not" Jemima replied.

"That's shocking. That they let someone with your face roam about without standing on your neck" Annabelle commented and Jemimah shrugged.

"Of course, they didn't. I'm not just so cut out for that kind of life so I turned it down, turned down a lot" Jemimah replied and Annabelle nodded her head.

"You are quite very self-aware" she added a small smile gracing her lips.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Jemimah. Adeleke Jemimah" Jemimah replied turning to the taller girl.

"I thought you stayed outside school" Jemimah commented and Annabelle rolled her eyes.

"My manager thought it was a good idea to mingle" Annabelle replied emphasizing the mingle and saying it in a way that made Jemimah burst into laughter. She could see why despite her arrogant nature, people loved her. She was actually relaxing to be around and it surprised Jemimah.

"You do need to mingle" Jemimah replied and Annabelle chuckled lightly, an amused smile on her lips.

"You know what Jemi? I have this shoot soon and we need a dark-skinned model. I don't know if you would want to fill in" Annabelle said and Jemimah stared at her without words.

Whatever shoot Annabelle was talking about, Jemimah knew it wasn't a small-scale shoot. The fact that Annabelle was asking her was even more of a shock.

"You don't have to think so much, it's your choice" Annabelle chipped in and Jemimah chuckled.

"Yeah. I'll love too" Jemimah replied and Annabelle immediately whipped out her phone stretching it out toward Jemimah.

"Save your contact" she replied and Jemimah smiled collecting the phone and pressing her digits and saving it.

"I have a class in a few minutes so have a great day" Annabelle added and Jemimah nodded her head.

"Sure, sure, sure" Jemimah replied.

"Please don't forget to mingle," Jemimah said as Annabelle started walking out of the restroom. The reply she got an amused smile at the corner of Annabelle's lips and an eye roll. Jemimah had a lot of celebrity friends, Farida was one of the most popular royal figures in the country and was even gaining a lot of recognition in the world among others, adding Annabelle to the list gave some sort of excitement to Jemimah. She knew she was different.

"She's actually a sweet person", "Amazing".

"Do you have the timer ready?" the girl asked while the latter nodded her head, her eyes fixed on the exquisite body in front of her.

The girl in front of her was clad in the usual swimming attire, molding her lean and slim body. Her long legs graced the upper part of her body and the girl watched as she strode towards the swimming area, wearing her goggles over her eyes.

"Go" she shouted and the girl jumped into the water swimming with all her strength, she glanced from the girl to the stopwatch in her hands a huge smile on her face.

Within seconds, the girl's head had emerged from the water and she removed her goggles from her eyes.

"Time?" she asked.

"One minute, seventeen seconds" she replied folding her arms and shaking her head.

"You broke your record again" she added while the girl snickered.

"I want to at least be done in fifteen seconds" she muttered getting out of water while the latter chuckled.

"Niyi, you know that this is huge already. Before you couldn't even pass the twenty seconds benchmark no matter what and now you've beaten it" she replied hoping to console her.

"Well I need to hit that fifteen-second benchmark if I am to beat that genius swimmer" Niyi replied venom in her words and the other girl swallowed.

"You are going to beat her if you keep this up" the girl replied again and Niyi chuckled.

"Thank you very much, Amara," Niyi said an amused smile on her lips but Amara knew better. She knew that Niyi was just being sarcastic. She watched as Niyi wrapped her towel around her.

"Are you going to Charles's house party?" Amara asked carefully and Niyi rolled her eyes.

"Why?" Niyi asked, "You want to tag along?" she asked but before Amara could reply, another voice interrupted them.

"Hello girlssss" a masculine voice rang in the air and both girls turned.

"Charles?" Amara called out in surprise.

"Hi Amara" Charles replied closing the distance between them and pressing a kiss to her cheeks freezing Amara in place.

"Oh my baby" Charles cooed moving towards Niyi and enveloping her in a hug.

"I knew I was going to find you here" Charles muttered leaving his hands around Niyi's waist while the latter wore a sleazy smile and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"You haven't even spoken to me since this semester started. Why are you looking for me?' Niyi asked and Charles smiled.

"It's of course to invite you to my house party. I'm sure you know about it. I came specially to invite you" Charles replied and Niyi chuckled.

"Specially?" she asked and Charles nodded his head closing the already small distance between them and placing his lips on hers. Niyi didn't shy away from the kiss choosing to actively participate. She arched her head meeting Charles's lips in a more convenient position while sucking on his lips with so much concentration, her tongue slid inside Charles's mouth exploring and licking every wall inside his mouth, their tongues interwove and Niyi moaned lightly feeling Charles licking the walls of her mouth and even attempting to give her a deep throat kiss. Despite being unable to breathe properly, neither of the two gave leeway and continued kissing like their lives depended on it.

Charles let one of his hands leave her waist and moved towards the towel she was wrapping around her body. With a small tug, the towel came apart revealing her gorgeous body. His fingers were quick to find the buckle of her swimming trunk and Niyi gasped opening her eyes and finding Amara still standing by the side, frozen with her fingers clenched and biting into her palms. A sleazy smile appeared on her lips and she chuckled quietly.

"Let me" she whispered to Charles pulling the entire swimming trunk over her head, leaving her bare naked body. Charles didn't think twice about rushing towards her breasts, cupping and massaging one of them while sucking on the other. Niyi threw her head back moaning and running her hands through his hair.

The both of them had long forgotten that there was a human being standing right beside them watching them. Charles moved his onslaught to the next nippled sucking with reckless abandon that made Amara's ears fill with Niyi's moans but neither could she move a muscle nor could she block her ears from hearing it.

"Amara you are not going to leave?" Niyi suddenly asked pausing Charles's movement as he turned to face Amara. A surprised look spread across his face and Amara gulped.

"You didn't leave?" he asked turning to Niyi with an amused expression.

"She didn't leave since the beginning?" he asked and Niyi smiled nodding her head.

"Nope"

"Why didn't you say anything?" he asked unhappily and Niyi burst into laughter.

"At least I told you before you went any further" she replied a smile crawling up her lips. She bent down and picked up the towel wrapping it around her body.

"I'll be there. I'll be at your party" Niyi announced and Charles grinned.

"See you then" he replied turning to Amara.

"Sorry, you had to witness that. Will you come to the party with Niyi?" Charles asked and Amara immediately shook her head.

"I have some undone assignments, so I won't be able to make it" Amara replied and Charles nodded his head.

"Oops, that's sad. See you" he muttered before walking away.

Amara's head was dropped down, her fingers still biting into her palms. The way they kissed, the way they held each other, she needed nobody to tell her it wasn't their first time, they had gotten together enough times to get used to each other like that. Niyi calling Charles's attention to the fact that she was present didn't help matters either. She couldn't help but notice that Charles's unhappiness had to do with the fact that she didn't leave not the fact that he was embarrassed.

"You suddenly have assignments?" Niyi asked and Amara raised her head up nodding.

"Weren't you asking me right before Charles came if I was going to the party?" Niyi asked an amused smile on her lips.

"Or is it because of what you saw?" she asked again and Amara swallowed her saliva. Meeting the other girl's eyes, she knew that she had done it intentionally. She knew what she doing, she was so wrong, she had been so so wrong that she could trust her or even be friends with her.

"I'm leaving Niyi" Amara muttered dropping the stopwatch and turning to leave.

"He doesn't like you. People like you" Niyi said suddenly bringing a stop to Amara's movement.

"You saw" Niyi added folding her arms and Amara turned to her with a small chuckle on her lips.

"This is why everyone stays away from you" Amara muttered willingly herself not to let a single tear fall.

"I know that you are capable of having anyone you want Niyioluwa, anyone at all, you can fuck whoever you want but I promise you, you will be alone till you die" Amara added with an eerie calm before turning and finally walking away.

Niyi shook her head "She's so petty"

I promised a certain someone to write another chapter before this month ends and phew, here's the next chapter before the month ends. Much to my disappointment, you people refuse to comment on the last chapter even though I had dropped juicy offers. Are you guys that angry with me?

What's your opinion about Niyioluwa? She's very mad in my opinion. Very mad.
