Daniel's POV.
I stood at my locker with my buddies, Wisdom and Benjamin.
"Guys, relationships shouldn't be forced," Benjamin remarked.
"You know I'm head over heels for Natasha," Benjamin confessed, triggering laughter from Wisdom and me.
"There's nothing funny," Benjamin retorted.
"Benjamin in love," Wisdom teased, sending us into another fit of laughter.
"Sorry, bro," I said, trying to contain my amusement.
"But Natasha? She's a handful, and you won't be her only guy," I warned, a bit more serious now.
"No way, I'm going all in with love. Love conquers all," Benjamin declared, earning another chuckle from Wisdom.
Natasha, a good member of the drama club and art class student, passed by with her friends.
"Hey, Tasha," Benjamin greeted with his charming smile, trying to make an impression.
"Nice hair," Benjamin complimented her.
"Really?" Natasha blushed.
"Would you like to join me for some treats at the school cafeteria? Ice cream, cake, biscuits, anything you want," Benjamin offered.
"Okay," Natasha agreed, her friends giving their approval before leaving.
"Shall we?" Benjamin beamed, and off they went, looking like newfound lovebirds.
"I have this feeling Natasha's been eyeing Benjamin," Wisdom remarked.
"What?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Didn't you notice how she blushed and quickly agreed?" Wisdom pointed out, and I had to admit, he had a point.
"Well, Mr. Mark asked me to collect assignments," I reminded them, changing the topic and pulling out notebooks from my locker.
"I forgot, why didn't you remind me?" Wisdom exclaimed.
"Don't tell me you forgot; it's been two days," I chided him.
Just then, a new girl named Michelle approached us.
"Excuse me," she interrupted.
"Hey, how can I help you?" Wisdom asked, flashing one of his charming smiles as if I wasn't there.
"Can you show me to the drama class?" Michelle requested.
"Wow, you're into acting? That's cool," Wisdom complimented.
"I'll take you there," Wisdom offered, leaving with Michelle and leaving me behind.
I was surprised; my friends ditched me for girls.

Hours later, after lectures and practice, it was closing time, i was in the physics lab with Shola and Mr. Mark, preparing for practicals.
"Shola, go rest; I'll handle this," I told her.
"Okay, if you say so. Mr. Mark, I'm leaving," Shola said.
"Alright, dear, and remember what I told you," Mr. Mark reminded her.
I was organizing equipment on the shelves when Mr. Mark asked, "Did Christabel come to school today?"
"I'm not sure, sir. I haven't seen her," I replied, realizing she'd been absent in class too.
"Okay, you can go now. Make sure to revise today's lesson," Mr. Mark instructed, and I nodded, leaving for my locker to grab some books.
The school was eerily quiet, except for a few teachers who probably didn't realize students like me were still around, working on physics experiments.
As I closed my locker, I turned to see Christabel hurrying out, surprising me with her sudden appearance.
Hey everyone,how are y'all doing.
So what do y'all think about this chapter?
