Chapter 41

~MICHELLE~

My mum fainted out of shock when she saw Myles,we managed to wake her up even though I was scared something might go wrong but it didn't.

"I dreamt...Myles!...my son."She cried as she searched for him.

"Mummy,calm down,I'm here."Myles assured her.

She embraced him in a hug as she cried,we all cried,"You are alive...my son is alive....Thank you..Jesus."My mum screamed.

"Hey,God...I hope I'm not dreaming...you are really back,Thank you,Father Lord."She went down on her knees and started crying,she rolled on the floor.

We let her have her moment,moment of peace,joy and happiness,we all smiled and laughed,"We must do Thanksgiving,this Sunday!."She announced,we all agreed.

"Yaya,look how big you are."He called her by her nickname.

My elder brother and weird nicknames are 5&6.

"I'm so glad,you are back, atleast,this boy won't be oppressing me."She pointed Mason as she pouted her lips forming last born.

"I got you guys a lot of things."That statement alone brought smiles to our faces.

Benefits of having a grown up elder brother:He always gets you gifts.

Maya and I squealed when we saw the things he bought for us,we packed his stuffs into the spare room.

The room was quite big to occupy his stuff,we left Myles and mum in the living room to discuss.

"I can't believe he's back."

"This is the happiest day of my life,for real."

We were all happy but I wasn't fully happy because my pride led me to break up with my boyfriend and crush.

~JACE~

"Guy,you nor well"I could hear Leo's voice cursing Mason as they walked to our class.

I got to school quite early for some reason or maybe,I didn't want my younger sister to be punished for late coming.

"It's obvious you like her,stop denying your feelings."Mason told Leo as he laughed.

I was busy updating my Physics notes.

Which day will you take Physics seriously?.

I don't know,maybe never.

Only God knows how you get perfect grades in Physics.

"I said I don't like her na,it's not by force."I didn't bother looking at my two bestfriends,only God knows what they were arguing about this morning.

"Good morning,bro."They greeted me.

They paused,they walked to the front of the class to observe me very well.

"Guy,who be this?(Who is this?)."Mason asked Leo.

"Omo,I don't know o."Leo answered him as they observed me.

They were still observing me when Kim walked in,"Why are you guys staring at him like....Oh my God!."She screamed and that was enough to make me laugh.

"Can you guys stop overreacting?."I looked at them as they stared at me like they have seen a ghost.

"Oh God,guy,why will you do this na,I'm trying to get girls here and you are topping your cuteness game."Leo frowned.

"Kim,cover your eyes."Mason tried to close her eyes.

I stifled a laugh,they can be so overdramatic.

"I was about to tell you that the breakup shouldn't weigh you down because you looked so unkept throughout last week,only for me to come and see that Baba has already cleaned up."Kim complimented.

"He really cleaned up nice."Mason added.

"Show us the way na,show your boys the way na."

"You guys are not alright."I shook my head as I laughed.

"When she sees you,I'm not sure she will be able to take her eyes off you o."Kim refered to my muffin.

"I swear down."Leo added.

Okay,I'm sure you already know why they have be tripping for me,I had a glow up,I had a neat haircut,I made my lips pink again,my dark circles weren't there anymore,I worked out,I did some many things to look hotter than ever and I'm sure you know why.

*Wink

"I'm tripping o."Kim faked a tear.

"Ehn?!,you are what?."Mason playfully glared at her.

"I meant I'm tripping for you,my baby."She placed a kiss on Mason's lips.

"Please,don't start a make out session,here."Leo pleaded.

"I swear,if you give them chance,they are ready to fuck their brains out."I added.

They both gave me the middle finger.

Michelle didn't attend assembly which broke me,she was delaying her reaction,I really wanted to see that look on her face.

Although,I heard different people complimenting me secretly including Juniors but I cared less,I only wanted one person.

After biology class,we had agric class next which meant Michelle was going to be in our class,our agric teacher delayed,it wasn't something new,he always wasted time before coming to class.

"Hi,Jace."Daphne,one of my classmates sat in front of me.

I was clearly not in the mood to entertain all these girls,"You are looking extra,today."She winked.

"Thank you."

She slowly opened her legs as her thighs showed for only my eyes to behold.

What the hell?.

"So,I heard about your breakup with Michelle and since you are single,I was wondering if you would like to hang out sometime."She said in a very seductive tone.

Some girls don't have shame at all,why will you open your thighs for a guy to see out of free will,Muffin will never stoop so low like this.

Still thinking about her.

I was about to give her a warning and insult her as well when I noticed a figure by the door watching us.

It was my muffin.

I gave her a plain look when our eyes met,we were engaged in a staring contest,she looked extremely beautiful.

Her twist were packed in a bun but she let two twist down her face which made her eyes look sexy for some reason,her lips were glossy and I really wanted to kiss them.

Be focused,don't be bewitched by her beauty.

I looked away,I tried so hard not to smile or smirk when I noticed how tense she was under my stare,I also didn't want her to know my plans to make her jealous.

I turned to look at Daphne,I activated my Fuckboy mode,I licked my lips as I stared at her,"Why not?,I'm always free to hang out or even eat you."I stared at her with a seductive eye as I touched her thigh.

She let out a moan which disgusted my ears so bad,if only Michelle had  forgiven me and taken me back,I wouldn't be in this horrible situation.

I looked at Michelle,I saw clench her fist as she glared at Daphne,I smirked when she noticed I was staring at her,she composed herself and walked into the class,ignoring both of us.

When I noticed she was far away from me in the class,I turned back at Daphne,"Get off my desk."I ordered as I gave her a blank look.

"But we are still going to hang out right."

"Maybe."I gestured for her to take her leave.

"Hey Zaddy!."Cassandra greeted with her high pitched voice as she sat next to me.

One time I was grateful for her presence around me,"Maami."I kept my arms around her shoulders as I pulled her close to me,I was fully aware that Michelle was watching us,not just her,maybe the whole class also stared at us but I cared less.

"I hope your d**k didn't grew an inch though as you glowed up because I won't be able to handle it."She winked at me.

When will this girl stop being a whore.

"I will make you handle it."I whispered into her eyes.

"You are so nasty."

"Don't you like it?."I licked my lips as I asked her.

"Ofcourse,I do."She pulled my chin close to her face.

"Leave my seat."Kim separated Cassandra and I.

Cassandra eyed her,"Catch you later,Papi."She winked at me as she took her leave.

"Mr. Peters isn't in school so it's a free period."Daniel informed the class and noise erupted.

Leo smacked my head immediately he sat behind us,"Oww!,guy,why did you do that na?!."I glared at him.

"Because you have been acting weird,you just broke up and you are already flirting with different girls."Kim replied me.

"What do you expect me to do?,I have already begged her,she didn't listen,I'm just respecting her decision."I shrugged.

"Try harder,be the bigger person."Leo stated.

"Give the boy a break,my sister is too stubborn,she holds grudges too much,it will take time for her to get her senses back."Mason finally spoke.

"Thank you,see,I'm not going to be the bigger person,I want to be smaller person,I'm not begging her again."I said plainly.

"Nawa o,how can two stubborn human beings be in a relationship?!."Kim spoke out of frustration.

She's definitely going to beg me.

~LUCAS~

Any guy who claims to be a simp or love his girlfriend so much is supposed to be sad after breakup,he's supposed to beg her,he's supposed to do everything right to please her in order for her to accept him back but Jace Walker was doing the direct opposite.

"Can I sit here with you?."I asked her as I got to the back of the class.

"Sure."She passed me a weak smile.

Olivia was too scared to sit next to Michelle because she didn't want to be in an awkward situation so she sat somewhere else.

I noticed Michelle was staring into space,no,she wasn't,she glared at Cassandra because she sat next to Jace,they weren't even aware that she wanted to kill both of them.

He had his arms wrapped around her shoulders as he whispered sweet nonsense into her eyes,it was obviously irritating Michelle,she didn't realize that was squeezing her pen so bad that it broke into half.

"Oh."She muttered when she looked at her hand.

"Did it hurt you?."I took her hands as I observed it,holding her hands made my heart skip a beat.

"I'm okay."She withdrew her hands which broke me.

"Glaring at them isn't going to affect them in any way."I stated.

"What do you mean?."She turned to look at me.

"You know what I mean."

"I don't know what you are talking about?."

"It hurts huh?."

"What hurts?."

"It shouldn't hurt,you were the one who broke up with him."

"I'm not hurt,can we not talk about this,where's Olivia?."She diverted the topic.

"She's over there."I pointed towards where she sat.

I smiled when I noticed she was having good time with Ryan, atleast there's somebody who chose not to judge her and decided not to treat her like a plague,she deserved happiness.

"She looks happy."Michelle commented as she smiled.

"She is."

"So when are you going to find your Cinderella?."She stared at me.

My Cinderella is right beside me but I can't have her because she loves someone else.

"Maybe never,I don't actually deserve anybody since I have caused many people pain."I replied sadly.

"Why will you say that?,every one deserves a happy ending."

"I guess so."

"What about Joan?...I thought you loved her..."

"Sometimes,the people we love never loves us back and it's okay."

We both went silent,I guess she read the meaning in my statement,she looked elsewhere avoiding my eyes but I just stared at her.

It's my fault that I don't have her.

I blew my chances with her.

I had her and then I lost her.

"Lucas,please stop staring at me like that,I don't really like it."She said politely when she noticed.

"I'm sorry....I couldn't help myself."I replied, embarrassed.

Since when did I become so soft and vulnerable,she has such effect on people and she isn't aware.

"I'm aware of your feelings for me but...."

"You don't feel the same way,I know."I faked a smile.

"You will find someone who will genuinely love you one day but that person isn't me."She dropped the bombshell.

"Okay."

"Mr. Peters isn't in school so it's a free period."Daniel announced and with that,I stood up to leave the class in anger and pain.

It's my fault.

~MICHELLE~

I felt really bad when I said those things to Lucas but I had to tell him the truth and it's not about the past,maybe it is but the only guy for me was Jace,no one else,I don't think I want to be around Lucas,he doesn't seem to control himself when he's around me,if I continue hanging out with him and Jace continues flirting with other girls,I might end up catching feelings that will leave me confused.

I shouldn't even be complaining,I had the chance to fix things but I didn't.

When I walked into Science class,I was startled when I saw him,at first he didn't notice,he was busy staring into space or maybe he zoned out,his side profile was everything and then a bitch that didn't know that she's a whore decided to sit right in front of him,trying to seduce him.

When our eyes met,gosh,I was shocked to stupor,my mouth was slightly opened,his lips were pinker than ever,if that's a thing,his brow was perfectly carved, everything just matched with his eyes,his stare made me very tense,I expected him to smile or wave or smirk or wink but he didn't,he just looked away with a blank look which broke my heart.

You broke up with him,he begged you but you refused,you deserved it.

I sighed and walked to the back of the class,I could see Kim and Leo giving me a pitiful look but I ignored them,as if that wasn't enough to spoil my day, Cassandra decided to sit next to him and they were busy flirting with each other.

He's single and he can do whatever he wants.

"Michelle."

"Michelle o."I heard Kim call my name .

"Yeah,you were saying..."I replied her as we walked to the cafeteria.

"I think you should talk to him."

"Who?."

"Jace."

"Nope,I'm not doing that."

"Don't be stubborn."

"I'm not stubborn,why should I speak to him?,what am I even going to talk about?,I was the one who ended things,he has already moved on."

"Maybe,he's trying to prove that he can be happy with or without you."

"Good for him."Kim sighed,she was already tired.

"Just talk to him."She said as we sat down.

"Maya!."I sighted my sister.

"Please,help me to buy snacks."I pleaded,she already had her bitchy face.

"My friend,buy this thing joor,if we aren't related,won't you obey me before."I eyed her,she mumbled some words before she left.

I saw Jace, Cassandra,Mason and Leo walking towards us,"Maya will bring my snacks to my class."I said as I stood up to leave.

Kim sat me down again,"Don't even try it,sit down and speak with him."

"He's with Cassandra."I pointed out.

"So?,they aren't dating,she's just fooling herself."

"Hey,babe."Mason smiled at Kim.

Kim whispered something into his ears and he nodded.

"Ummm...I need you to come with me."Mason told her but I knew exactly what they were planning.

"Bro,please,tell my lil sis that she should get snacks for us."He gave Leo,the money before dragging Kim along.

Leo left,leaving Jace, Cassandra and I in an awkward situation,I tried to get up to leave but it was as if my butt was stuck to the chair and my legs didn't want to move.

"Papi,I will be right back,I need to get something."She smiled at him and then an evil smirk was plated on her face when she looked at me.

I looked elsewhere,trying so hard to avoid staring at him even though I wanted to.

Just a glance won't hurt,right?.

It won't.

"Stop staring,I know you can't keep your eyes off me but stop making it so obvious."He stated with the same blank look.

"I wasn't and you wish that I wouldn't able to take my eyes off you."I scoffed.

"Lies,I caught you staring."

"I zoned out and you just happened to be in that direction so I wasn't staring."I lied.

Be nice.

"Anyways,what's good?."He asked,maybe he was trying to start a conversation.

"Everything."I passed him a fake smile.

"That's cool."

"Your girl is clingy."

My mouth really needs to take permission from my brain before it speaks.

"You mean Cassy?,I like her clingy."

He still calls her by that nickname.

"So you are in a relationship?"I asked curiously.

"Why do you care?."

"I asked a question first."

"Maybe,maybe not."He shrugged.

"There are replies called yes or no."I pointed out.

"Why are you all up in my business?."

"It was just a harmless question,you called her your girl."

You guys are supposed to talk things out not bicker.

"Maybe,she is or maybe she's not."

"So you are single?."I supported my chin with my hand as I stared at him.

"Partially."

I sighed,"I will take that as a no because you don't look like someone who is in a relationship."I stated.

"Meaning?."

"You just got out from one and then you decide to jump into another?,nah,I don't think so."

"Whatever,I don't even want to be in a relationship, being single is cool and fun."He replied.

Ouch.

"How is it cool?."I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Well,I can do whatever I want without feeling guilty,I can flirt with a girl,make out with a girl,f**k her and I won't have to apologise to anybody, nobody will hold grudges against me even though I decide to beg them with everything and anything."He glared at me.

I gulped my spit because he was obviously referring to me,"I don't hold grudges."I defended.

"What makes you feel I was referring to you or are you in any way feeling guilty?."He feigned pretense.

"Even if,I'm talking about you,yes,you hold grudges,there's something called forgive and forget but it's obviously not in your dictionary."He added.

"I always forgive and forget,I just take time."

"You don't,you never ever forgive and forget,whenever something goes wrong or someone wrongs you,you always end bringing it up but you get pissed off when someone does the same thing to you,you know what,I'm not having this conversation with you."He stood up angrily and left.

Am I that bad?.

Maybe.
