Naomi's pov
I glanced at the alarm clock...4pm.
School was surely over by now. I wondered how it all went wrong, i used to be happy, infact very happy until that day, i wondered why life was unfair to me, it happened last month but it seemed like just yesterday, I wondered how my friends would feel if i told them about it, not to talk of my mom she'll be heart broken. I picked up my iPhone X from the table in a bid to get my mind off the matter troubling me, Chatting away, i thought to myself, no one must know my ordeal, i must take it to the grave with me if not no one ever will look at me the same way again. Suddenly the sitting room bell rang Sigh...
"I guess mom's back."i thought to myself but the sound coming from downstairs wasn't my mom's, it was that of Kelly and Ella, my face lit up with a smile, atleast i get to spend the rest of my short life knowing i had friends who cared for me, I tucked myself in bed pretending to be asleep as my friends stormed into my room, Ella got close to the bed.
"This babe dey sleep sha."
"Huh Isabella, speak good english." Kelly replied.
"Sorry I meant, this girl iyaff going to the inzide of the sleeping kingdom.", Ella said doing her best to mimmick their favorite character in the series, Jenifa's diary But Kelly won't have it,
"Your english is not even fresh."
"Morning fresh ni.", Ella replied sarcasticaly.
"Mtcheww oya come and wake naomi up."
"Comatutapel ni."
At this point I couldn't withhold the laughter i was trying so hard to supress anymore, i grabbed Ella's waist with my arms.
"You people will not kill me with this your argument argument hehnn.", Lol
They sat down beside me on the bed.Kelly's POV
Thank God, atleast Naomi seems to be in a cheerful today, She had been very moody and reserved for a while, every of our efforts to get her to tell them what the problem was proved abortive, The chef walked in with a tray full of chocolates and three cups of milkshakes,
"Thank you Uncle Tunde" he grinned at me as he left the room, He was cool just like Naomi, even though her parents were very rich, she was down to earth and never used that to be proud, though she was spoilt. Imagine her telling her mom that she didnt feel like going to school today and her mom let her be....Chai, if it was me, one slap was enough to rearrange my senses in
alphabetical order, i thought.
"Babe it's like you are not hungry.", Ella said as she began to unwrap a pack of M&M.
"Oya Ella what's the gist you wanted to give us.", I asked curiously as she reached for a wrap of chocolate.
Ella suddenly brightened up, bringing out her phone showing us her chat with jimmy.Jimmy: Hi...ella
Ella: Hi
Jimmy: how was your day?
Ella: Good ,urs?
Jimmy: Great
Jimmy: You looked really pretty todayElla: Lol mad o, stop whining me jare

Jimmy:Pele so in you mind you are

Jimmy: Hehnn..at your Senior

Jimmy: Lol so wyd?
....Ella's POV
"Oshey fine girl.", Kelly exclaimed, lol I couldn't hold the blush on my face. Jimmy was the head boy of the school, every girl in my class was head overheels for him, he had that spark a girl wanted, as if that was not enough, he knew how to sing and play the guitar, Ah kilode my ovaries, lol
boyfriend material 100 yards, but I had heard that he was very proud though. I was so shy when we met at the hallway, my heart was just beating like crazy I couldn't even speak well, thank God he only wanted to introduce himself properly.
"Reply his chat na."Kely said staring at my phone, i could hear the jealously in her voice, i was going to tease her for looking for my trouble earlier.
"kelly are you jealous?"
I stared at her face, she did her best to fake a smile and hissed.
"Jealous of who, mama you better reply your chat." she shove my phone into my hand, I looked at my screen, Oh he's online I had better reply before he thinks i kept him on read, i thought.Ella: I went to my friend's place, she wasn't feeling too well
Kelly and Naomi were almost entering my screen, "make una enter the phone o", i teased, waiting for his text.
"He's rude." Naomi said as she saw Jimmy's reply, i frowned a bit as i saw his reply.K.
Everyone knows its rude to"k"a girl, girls don't like it..well, maybe he doesn't know maybe i should tell him...I thought,
Ella: I don't like it when people reply me with k
He took a while to answer, I began to panick...maybe he didn't like that I called him out..maybe I was too straight, As i began typing an apology, he replied again.
K....
