Valerie.

We were already at the venue, after all the protocols Nadia made us take before getting ready. She made me wear a makeup. I was putting on the dress we picked at the mall, and a nude block heel and a black Chanel clutch bag.

We were at the hotel where the party was holding. There was a red carpet at the entrance where the guests took pictures. Nadia made me take tons of pictures with her that I suddenly ran out of poses so I started making funny faces. We walked into the party and I whispered into her ears.

"Don't leave me here. I don't know anyone here"

"Baby, I love you but you don't expect me to carry you around like my handbag. Trust me, you're safe. And besides the party is mainly for third year and final year. So you have nothing to worry about. I'm sure you'll meet someone you know" A tall dark guy approached us. He was pretty handsome with his pink lips. He was in an all black outfit consisting of a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a black high sneaker. There was a gold chain that had his initials engraved on it.

"Hey b. You made it. You look really beautiful. As always" he had this look of adoration on his face. Like he basically worshipped her. She smiled and pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks boo. You look dope as well. So, Valerie this is Tega, my very good friend and Tega, this is my best friend, Valerie. She's like a sister to me" she grinned and I was just smiling like a fool. He stretched out his hands for a handshake and I reached into them.

"Hey"

"Hey, you look dazzling. D'you by any chance have a sister, Vanessa by name?" He asked after I withdrew my hand from his. I was really surprised.

"Yes, I do. Any problem?"

"No, not at all. Nice to finally meet you" Chill..... finally?? Meaning? How does he know me?

"Good. I'll leave you two to talk. Nadia, call me if you need anything." I told her leaving them. I felt choked up staying with them. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't take any pills or do coke.

"Okay guys. I'll invite the celebrant on the stage. She has something to say to y'all" the MC said and a pretty girl in a yellow leather miniskirt and a matching button up crop top. She finished off the look with her 4 inches black and yellow heels.

"Good evening everyone. I'm so happy you guys made it to this place. I'm so grateful. I don't if I should have done this at the end of the party but I'm not sure I'll stay till then. Have some plans with my boyfie." That was unnecessary though but the crowd cheered and fawned. It's like everyone knew this supposed boyfriend but me. Not like I care.

"Like I was saying. I'm happy to see you all here celebrating with me. I give all glory to God for making me see another wonderful year. To my parents who dedicated their all to me. My amazing friends, coursemates for their support. And lastly to my hot boyfriend who has being there for me all along, giving all his love, care and affection in this relationship. I'm so happy I met him. He's been really understanding. I love you sweetheart. Y'know what? Babe, please over here." She pouted. I saw a guy in braids plaited all back in a white designer shirt, a white trouser and white sneakers.

The moment he got on the stage, he turned to the crowd. I caught a glimpse of his handsome face. My heart tightened at the sight before me. It was Malik.

"Babe, y'know I don't like this much attention. But I'd do it for you, love." He said kissing her on the lips. She giggled wrapping her arms around him. I couldn't bear it. But why was it so painful?
