A seep of light spilled into the room, indicating it was morning time already. I groaned as I dragged the blanket off me. I grabbed a bottle of water that was placed on the nightstand, removed the cap and took a huge gulp.

Today was Saturday, finally I can get a break away from that toxic place called school.

I slowly stood up from bed, not forgetting to wear my fluffy slippers and headed towards the curtains, fully opening them to allow light flood the room completely.

I made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. After some minutes I was done, I applied my lotion and put on some baggy joggers hanging low on my waist and a crop top with the words 'KISS' written boldly with block letters.

I looked up at my appearance on my full length mirror noticing my hair was a mess. I packed it into two buns with a scrunchy and applied my lip balm.

I grabbed my phone from the charging point, and saw the time was a few minutes to 9o'clock. I made my way downstairs and I was greeted with the smell of Jollof rice, plantain and fried chicken.

A plate filled with food was placed on the dinning table as soon as I walked in. My mum was at the corner pouring some orange juice in a glass cup. Noticing that a presence was before her, she looked up and smiled.

"How are you my baby? It's been so long since I set my eyes on you," she says walking towards me, embracing me in a warm hug.

"I'm fine mum," I returned the hug, "it's just I've been caught up in school work and you have a job of your own so..."

"See how you are thin like broomstick, even this your big bumbum is starting to fade away, come and eat food joor," my mum says like a typical African mother, while pulling me towards the dinning table.

"Mummy na, I'm not that thin, it's just school stress and all." I whined while pouting my lips.

"See your mouth like school stress, you better eat this food before I come back," she said.

"Where are you going to, I thought you didn't go to work on Saturdays." I queried at her.

"My boss wants me to talk to some clients due to their complains, that useless woman sef, she knows very well that the weekends are my day off." I laughed at my mum complaints. This woman and drama ehn.

✲✲✲✲✲✲✲

It has been not so long ago before her mum left for work. The house felt so lonely and empty, perks of being the only child. I wasn't even in the mood to dance.

I decided to check my phone, to find something to make my boredom fade into existence. I opened WhatsApp as soon as I entered the password for my iPhone 11 to open. I didn't have much contacts, so it was expected for my WhatsApp to be dry.

The only people I chatted with are Amaka, Flora and Zainab. I opened the class group chat which I archived to see up to ten thousand plus messages.

Wetin dey sup? I asked myself.

I hurriedly tapped on the group and I was greeted with ten people typing at once.

~Serena💜
I can't believe our power couple broke up, its so sad.😭😭😭

~Vahnny💕💕💕
𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒂💜:

~ExoticBitch💋💅
Thank God he has left that useless girl called Empress, now he can fall in love with me.

~Stephanie🌼
I heard its even because of that useless new girl that they broke up. She just likes causing commotion.😒

~Mary✨
𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆🌼:
She just likes attention

~Favour🤗
𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆🌼:
I wonder what boys even see in that thing sef. They over-hype her to much.

~Florence😚🧡
My gender never ceases to amaze me, so because of a boy that will never notice you guys, you choose to degrade your fellow woman. And to all of you insulting Empress, you are always the ones kissing up to her. I won't be surprised when all of you badmouthing her right now goes to sympathize her on Monday. Bloody hypocrites.😒

ONLY ADMINS CAN SEND MESSAGES

I stared bewildered about the new piece of information. Empress and Derrick broke up. But how? And how was I the cause of their breakup?

I silently thanked Florence for deactivating the group. Only the prefects were in charge of the group, and later learnt that she was the health prefect.

I still can't believe what those girls were saying about Empress, and most especially me.

Why can't they just say all these stuff to me in my face?

I was about the exit the app when I was notified a new message from an unknown number. I stared at the message unsurely before tapping on it.

080*********
Hi its Derrick I got your number from the group. Are you free for today so we can work on the project?

I even forgot we had a project. I tapped a reply to his message.

Me
Yh I'm free for today.

His reply came almost immediately.

080*********
Okay cool, your place or mine.

Me
Yours, send me the details.

He sent it immediately with an incredulous flash. I didn't bother replying to him after that.

I stood up from the edge of the bed, where I was currently sitting on and made my way to the wardrobe situated at the corner of the room. I grabbed my favourite hoodie and some plain white crocs with some flowery designs on them.

I grabbed my tote bag, unzipped it and slipped some of the books we need into it.

I headed out of the compound, not forgetting to inform Sule our gateman about my whereabouts incase mum comes home early.

⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂

The driver stopped in front of an estate, the most popular estate known in Abuja. I payed the driver before hopping out of the vehicle. I was greeted with the callous impact of the sun as soon as I stepped out. I stood at the shade of some trees as I brought out my phone to read the details of the address.

23 Cosmos Estate, Abuja.

I walked for some minutes admiring how beautifully created and made the houses where, and how some palm trees and flower beds were decorated at the either sides of the gate, before I sighted a black gate with the number 23 written boldly on it. I sighted a doorbell switch near the gate and pushed it without a second thought.

"Who dey there?" A voice resounded at the back of the gate before it opened to reveal a short man wearing a singlet and worn out khaki shorts.

"Who you dey find?" The short man queried at me again displaying his yellow teeth. I was about to tell him to maybe take a shower or brush his teeth. Cause he fucking smells. But I held my mouth from saying it.

"I'm here to see Derrick," I replied him.

"So he don get new babe," the short looking man muttered to himself but I heard him anyway. I was about to ask what he meant by that but was cut off by the gate fully opening.

He gestured for me to go in, and immediately I went in my jaw dropped to the floor. His house was an exquisite sight to behold.

His house was a mansion painted cream at the top and black at the bottom, the environment was decorated with flowers of all kinds, a fountain was at the middle and different brands of luxury cars were parked under some shades of trees. In conclusion, his house was beautiful.

I snapped out of my trance and sauntered towards the door, pressing the doorbell beside it. A maid came out of the door a few minutes after ringing the bell, she looked like she was in her mid twenties and she didn't have a friendly expression her face.

"How can I help you?" She asked with a tone akin to irritation and disgust.

What's this one problem?

"I'm here to see Derrick," I said coldly reciprocating her tone.

She gave me a once over before fully opening the door for me to enter.

"Wait right here!" She exclaimed before heading towards the stairs to probably notify Derrick about me. I decided to study house due to her absence.

A TV was placed at the ending of the wall with several painting placed under it, a polished glass table with a flower vase, remote and other stuff was placed under a gold themed carpet, couches of the colour gold and white where placed around the table with a reasonable amount of space between them, an air conditioning placed at the right hand side of the wall, and walls were painted black and white with a little touch of gold.

I must say the exterior and interior of the house are both beautiful.

The grumpy young lady came with a scowl on her face still eyeing me.

"He's room is the second one on the right," she said before walking away not forgetting to bump shoulders with me.

I hissed as soon as she left striding towards the stairs. I got to the second room and knocked on it faintly.

Derrick opened the door in a nanosecond displaying his shirtless form dripping with sweat.

Damn! He looked so yummy.
