"Are you okay, Maygrace?!" Deji yells as he kneels beside her taking off his backpack and taking hold of her hand, "just breathe! Breathe, I'm here,"

"De, de-ji, dejii, Deji, "she said as she caught hold of his shirt pulling and grabbing his shirt trying to steady her heartbeat as she puts her hand on his cheek, she starts screaming as her eyes go pitch black, memories start flooding through her mind like a tv then it suddenly pauses as the picture starts to become clear to her.

"Dad, is this chocolate still good or has it gone bad?" A 5 year old Deji asks a dark skinned tall man wearing a plaid shirt and jeans.

"How about you taste it and find out," he says with a chuckle in his thick Nigerian accent.

"Okay daddy," Deji says as he takes a chunk out of the chocolate making a barf face, "this tastes bad, dad why don't you try it," he shoves the chocolate into his dad's mouth who makes a hurling sound making Deji laugh.

"You think it's funny, you think it's funny," his dad scrambles towards him throwing another piece into his mouth which Deji mistakenly swallows making them both laugh at Deji's misfortune before he starts hurling, his dad throws him over his shoulder taking him to the bathroom.

"Are you guys okay?" A lady says walking into the bathroom staring at her son throwing up.

"What stupid game were you playing this time, Demilade I have warned you to stop playing rough play with this child, what is wrong with you?!" She starts screaming hitting his hand off her child.

"Tosin, it really isn't that big of a deal, we were just having a little fun," he replies calmly to her.

"Why don't you just leave us alone, please don't  kill my son like the way you killed your own mother," she yells back and shoves him out of the bathroom as Deji walks to the sink cleaning himself up and sits on the toilet trying to not cry at the scene of his parents fighting.

"Milly,Milly,Milly,milly," Deji repeats as he keeps shaking her into reality,she suddenly feels cold in his arms so he takes off his jacket covering her up.

"Deji, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to," she tells him finally opening her eyes and wiping away the waterworks pouring from her eyes.

"Hey, it's fine, you're fine," he comforts her with a smile taking off her backpack.

"Deji I can't even trust myself, Deji how long have I not been in school?" Milly inquires looking at Deji's surprised expression.

"What do you mean,Milly?"

"When did we meet,Deji?"she asks again staring at her smashed phone on the other side of the lot.

"What are you talking about I just transferred here from willies, I've never met you before, I just saw you sitting here panting and crying," he replies finally scrambling away from her, wondering why he'd be holding a stranger in his arms, "how'd you know my name?" He inquires as a sense of realization dawned on him.

Milly sighs unable to comprehend or have the strength to think about what was going on, she knew she needed answers as Milton's words kept replaying in her head, all she needed was time.

"Where are you off to? How'd you know my name,May-...," he stutters unsure of his next words.

"The same way you knew mine," she replies dusting herself up and picking up her phone.

"I don't remember, is this some shitty game or just a fucking bad deja vu and can you talk to me," he says pulling on her arm, twirling her as their eyes meet, "I know you, I can't place it but I've seen you before," he says ransacking his brain wondering why she looked so familiar like she should've known her like he needed to know her.

"Lucky you but it won't last, in a matter of minutes or hours or days you'd forget me, what's the date?" She says unknown as to this was happening, she shoves her phone in her backpack as the screen won't come on

"It's 19th February, why?"he says keeping his phone back in his pocket, "and I certainly do not want to forget you" he says almost earning him a smile from Milly as she slips her hand from his and looks away.

"I'm Maygrace Johnson, my parents call me Milly which sort of caught on," she says to him staring at him for some sort of recognition, dumb luck he was as empty as a sea shell.

"That's a cute name, I support your parents, it really does suit you," she couldn't help but smile as she recalled the last conversation they had in her chemistry class.

"That's exactly what you told me the first time we met," she says looking at him trying not to break a smile at her smiling.

"Then I was certainly such a goof, that's a cheesy line.. or did you like it the first time I said it?" He smirked making her burst into a fit of laughter with how much she tried not to.

"It won't matter soon enough," she said recollecting herself and ready to walk away from him.

"See listen, I don't remember the first time we met but I know I can't help feeling that  I don't mind how many times we meet, I want to keep meeting you over and over again till you stick  and yes I can hear how cheesy I sound," he stood in front of her path so she won't be able to walk out as she cracks a smile at him, he smiled watching her ears jingle and her eyes go missing, she looked beautiful.

"Do you want to leave here ?" She said still smiling at him as he nods at her before they start walking out of school.

"Boom!!"Eva screams from behind, Milly sighs turning back.

"Hey Eva, how'd you find me?" She says at a smiling Eva looking back from Deji to her to Deji again.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" She says eyeing Deji from top to bottom.
