Kelvin  POV

It was Monday morning and for once I was feeling cheerful. Not because I was happy to go and learn, but because I was happy that exams we're finally closing in and Soo enough we would be on holiday. Now that is something worth being cheerful about. I had taken my time to get dressed and since i just recently got a hair cut, style my hair wasn't necessary. Once I had my shoes bucked in, i took my back packs looked myself over in the mirror and headed down stairs.

I meet my mom on my way downstairs to the kitchen and I greeted her. She just smile at me in response as she had her hands on an iPad working on her latest fashion out fit. She told me a little about it over the weekend and i agreed that the style was going be a bomb. Ever since she's been so focused on looking for which fabric will bring it out best. Shortly after i walked into the kitchen, my dad came in asking me about Emmanuella's health in a way I least expected

"Morning dad "

"Well if it isn't the youngest champ, morning. Hows your girlfriend by the way, hope her health is back on top now. "

When it dawned on me that he was referring to Emmanuella as my girlfriend, my face visibly turned bright red as I Began to choke on my saliva.

"Oh. My. Goodness! dad we are not official yet okay, and yes she's... I mean No its not... her health is perfect

I responded stuttering and this made my dad and Denis bust into laugher. They were both helping each other put breakfast together which was French toast and egg. I groaned out loud at them and said.

"Father!?!"

"Son !?! some girl has got you Turing into a red tomato on the spot!"

He said with humor laced in his voice I just groaned in annoyance saying

"You both know she is not 'Some girl'. You know what,  I'm going to be late for school so Dennis can I have my breakfast now?"

" okay Red Tomato, French toast and egg is coming right up "

Dennis responded laughing at me

"Urgh you guys are the worst, unbelievable. "

"Yea, we are unbelievably good at teasing you. "

"Urgh!!! I'll be in the dinning area"

i said before walking out of the kitchen.  5 mins later, I was scrolling through my Instagram feeds as a picture of Davidoo and his daughter caught my eye. I smile at that knowing that some day I'd be posting a picture of something similar. I was still musing over the picture when my mom came back down to show me what she has been working on all weekend. It was a pitch Coloured trumpet gown with an off shoulder neck line and it was simply beautiful

"Whoa mom you really are a supper hero, arrive at a ladies party with this and you just might save the day."

"Oh son quite being modest. C'mon you going to be late for school let's eat. "

I was surprise this was one of the rare case my mom will decide to eat breakfast with us at the appointed time. Its not like we didn't want to or we were fighting or anything. its just we were always too busy to have that family breakfast just like other families. I gotta say, its been a while since we all ate breakfast as a family on the dinning table like this, I think we should do it more often. Just as we were rounding up breakfast my mom decide to voice my thoughts .

"You known, I think my fashion designing and drawings can wait until after we've had breakfast like this, together as a family"

" i couldn't have said it better cherry "

My dad concludes calling my mom the nickname he gave her. I smiled happy that our dinning table will finally be put too good use, and also because my mom just made having breakfast as a family official. My dad decide to stay backs and help my mom with the dishes while my elder brother drove Ella and I to school.

Emmanuella POV

We we're havening our usually morning assembly's when Kelvin  and I entered the school compound. We were both late for the morning Assembly but non of the perfect noticed our late entry. We used it to our advantage sneaking pass them so we could join the rest of the students on the assembly ground. After the principals addressed us and wished us success in our fast approaching exams, she then invited Victoria to the podium. Lydia Mercy and I all exchanged knowing looks as we all had no ideas of what she wanted to say. Eventual when she cleared her throat to speak, her first statement took every one by surprise; including me.

"Hmm my name is Victoria komass and, I am hear to give a public apology to every one; but most especially Emmanuella Adetokunbo. "

The whole Assemble broke into a fit of murmuring and whispers, no one saw this coming either. It even got me wondering who gave her the idea to this,  if there is one thing Victoria is capable of not doing, its apologizing. I chuckled to myself as I thought about how this apology could go wrong but I decide not to duel on negative thoughts. She might be genuinely sorry, who knows?

"I..... I I I I... Hmm I..... Apologize for everything, for making you feel less of your self, for dumping smooth on you, for always taunting you, for calling you names, for always picking on you, for... for the other thing I don't remember right now. To my fellow student of this great academy. I also apologize for not always acknowledging your existent, and always pretending like y'all don't happen feeling. There I apologize"

It took all of the discipline in me not to laugh because she kept apologizing, but she didn't actually say the apology,  the thought of her doing that was just hilarious. I was going to say something about it but I beat my tongue just to hold myself from talking or laughing.

"Umm senior Victoria, I'm sorry but you didn't actually apologize. You were ---"

One of the junior who i presume must have felt her wrath said in her deep Indian accent, she didn't get to finish the statement as she was  cut mid sentences when Victoria glared at her. The terrified junior didn't bother to complete her sentence as she hid behind her friend shivering in fear. I rolled my as at her action typical Victoria move, always out to intimidate people with her dagger like stares. One of the teacher who notice this exchange decide to step in confirming what the junior student said.

"She is right Victoria. saying I apologize doesn't carry as much weight, as saying I am sorry. Your going to have to say the word Victoria."

Every one gasped dramatically as the waited anxiously for the sentence to roll off Victoria tongue. This was a huge Turing point for the school and Victoria, and people wiped out their phone to recode a video of this moment. In case you are wondering, Yes phones of any kind are allowed in this school. My gang and I simply rolled our eye witnessing this drama unfold before our very eyes.

"I... I... I'm... Iiii... Hmm okay I.... Aaaaaamm.... Ssssuaruy... "

"What?? "

"I...... I..... I... I..... Urgh!! I am not sorry!!"

The whole assembly grasped at her out bust, even I was shocked because I actually thought she was genuinely sorry and wanted to apologize: I guess I thought wrong. Miss Linda one of the administrative staff tried to caller her to order but Victoria didn't give her a chance to.

"Victoria you--"

"There I said it I am NOT sorry because you Emmanuella have been the root to all my problems!! Ever since you came into my life 4 years ago you've been nothing but a thief! a lying thief, stealing away the love of my life Kelvin Adeleke from me like he was some toy you earned!! Like that wasn't enough you made us flop the basketball tournament ruining what I've worked years to build and--"

"Okay that's enough now Victoria! "

With that the mic she was using to speak was roughly collected from her by Mrs Moradeun our Vice principal who escorted her of the podium. I couldn't help but drift into my thoughts, so that why she hated me for all this years, she thinks i stole Kelvin  from her and I was thinking she stole Kelvin  from me. Who knew this whole thing was just a big misunderstanding and noone was ditching anyone. I shrugged it off when Kelvin's  hand gentile squeezed mine.  I looked up to meet his soft brown eye and he gave me a reassuring smile while caressing my hand which was firmly in his.

...
I just might fall in love with him , but I'm not sure I could Handel another heartbreak from him

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

I just finish making my twin sisters favorite lunch which was beans and potato porridge. She loves anything that goes well with potato's , I smiled as the though of her sniffing the air and being able to identity what mom was cook right from her room, good time.

Once I was done setting the table I went to change into a new outfit which i got yesterday. It was a maroon coloured joggers and sweatshirts which was our favourite colour. Satisfied with my outfit i looked self over in the mirror, packed my braided hair into a ponytail and went downstairs to welcome my twin sister when I heard the sound of a door.

"Hhhey they favorite twin sister "

"Urrr,  I'm your only twin sister "

"But also my favoriteeee"

" yea right that's not how you acted 5 years ago... And what is all this? Why are you dressed in that its over 30 degrees outside, and do I smell beans with potato porridge"

"Your sense of smell is fantastic as always,  I know you must be hungry so I made you a treat. Come sit sis"

"Uh-huh how do I know that food ain't poisoned. "

"Its not, see"

she had managed to follow me to the dinning room where i had set the table. I took a spoon full and shoved it into my mouth eating and swallowing it just to prove my point. She looked at me skeptically then nodded her head towards The second plate on the table I did the same thing but she still didn't believe me and she said.

"you are all cladded up in a maroon coloured sweet pant and shirt, with my favorite food on the table, And you set this all up... What's the catch?"

"i broke up with kosi Adegoke--"

"Ha! what happened to happy ever after? "

"I needed to do the next right thing... Lydia, I am sorry. I am sorry I stole your poems and passed it off as mine, I am sorry I let Kosi believe I was you, I am sorry I played a fast one and I stole him from you, I am sorry I ruin out beautiful twin sister bond and most importantly, I am sorry I let a guy come in between us. please if there Is ever a space in your heart find it to forgive me. "

I said with my head hanging low feeling sober and remorse as I hoped for a positive response. After what felt like hours of standing in her presence she finally spoke saying

" I am sorry too Lilian... But your apology is 5 year too late. "

"I know. That why I thought, better later than never right "

I responded chuckling nervously but she didn't reply to my last statement. She just walked out on me heading toward the stared that lead to our rooms. I sign feeling dejected and defeated as I sat on one of the dinning chairs. 5 minutes later I heard foot steps descending the stairs I looked up hoping she had come to accept my apology, but I was horribly wrong when she came and carried the tray of food and water I had prepare for her. Without another word she when back to her room ignoring my entire existence.

I guess you can say I dessert that after the way I treated her for the past 5 years. I knew I shouldn't have used this approach, I feel Soo stupid now for trying to use her favourite things; well our favourite, to bribe her into accepting my apology. Well after witness how my plan A was a total disaster I moved on to plan B... Shopping,   hopefully sweet talking her into going shopping with me will work.

______________________________________

The end of another beautiful chapter. I made this one like an ice breaker I hope I didn't break too many ice tho.

anyway now we know Lilian feels sorry for the way she treated her twin five years ago and she's trying to apologize for that now. Will Lydia give her twin sisters a second change or is this another scheme by Lillian to get under Lydia's skin.

As for Victoria all I can say is, she is going to get whats coming to her, eventually.
