Chapter 16

I'm sorry for not giving this update earlier. I was extremely busy and I just couldn't shuffle between the two. If not for Rihanna_Adedeji that decided to torment me in my dream last night, maybe I wouldn't have updated like that 🤣🤣🙅🏽🙅🏽

It's like I'll start sleeping with bible from now on.

Seems like a lot of people love Khalil's POV 😏. Let's see if we'll have more of him.

It was 12:00pm in the afternoon and every one was present at the indoor swimming pool. We were kicking off the Sports events with swimming which was only for the females but everyone was present to cheer for their school. Crescent High had creamed us again early this morning at the Oratory Test with Kunmi emerging as the winner, few points higher than Skye who had represented our school.

Things were not looking really good for Limelight Academy because one trophy was lost now.

And things were not looking good for me as Elyon hasn't spoken to me since yesterday. Not to talk of throwing a glance to my side.

It was pure torture.

And I deserved it because I messed up bad.

"Welcome to the Sport Events of The Olympia," The sport commentator's voice jerked me out of my mind trip and I looked up from where I was seated on the bleachers with the rest of my school mates.

"We are kicking off with the Swimming events, strictly for the females. Every school should get ready with their contender." He instructed and at that moment, I heard my name being called and I looked to a direction. It was Mateo.

"What's up?" I asked him and he beckoned to me to come. I walked down the bleachers and towards him.

"Skye might need more moral support. She's scared." He told me, his voice laced with concern and I frowned. Skye is never scared of a challenge, let alone swimming. What's wrong now?

"Where is she?" I asked eagerly and Mateo led the way. I saw school coaches with their contenders.

I saw the female coach of Crescent High beside Sophia Williams, her friends surrounding her. Sophia was clad in swimming trunk that did absolutely nothing to hide her curves. I could also sight more than half of the male population staring at her, including Khalil who wasn't subtle at all. My mind went back to what had happened yesterday and I felt my blood boil with anger for the fucker.

I was still very much upset with him. He was the main cause of the rift between Elyon and I. If only he had kept his stupid mouth shut.

You are the reason Elyon isn't talking to you. My subconscious chided me.

"Hey, breath. It's okay baby." I heard Mateo's voice and that's when I realized we had gotten to where Skye was. I looked around and saw that we were in the dressing room. Somadina and Vanessa were here too, clad in the school track suit. I turned my head and my eyes met hers.

Elyon.

She was staring at me, no expression whatsoever on her face. It made me feel uneasy.

It's called guilt. Get used to it. My subconscious mocked me.

I quickly averted my gaze from hers and looked at Mateo who was crouched in front of Skye. She was breathing rapidly. I quickly took to his position, crouching in front of my sister.
