MARIAM THELMAN That's my name, but I hardly hear people call me that, it was either Mimi, kawana or Uniform. I am a shadow uniform prefect in my school, my term results always come out good, if I'm to fail a subject, I'll get a C there. All my problems are being solved with money at home But... That's the first side of my coin, the other side I also got to know, and when I knew... SIMEON SAMUEL He was called the new kid, that arrogant one that thinks he's better than everyone, but at the same time secretly admired. He's so oblivious to the fact people listen and admire him when he talked, and sincerely speaking, most people are now thinking of giving the position of head boy to him... But then, the new people always have what they are hiding, don't they? KUCHELI OMARI She's the best friend to Mariam, has always been supportive of her ever since junior class but as the years go by, she's trying so hard to control her jealousy, Miriam's house, Miriam's bank account, Mariam's everything looks so much better than her and it looks like her bestie likes her, no she won't agree... But it's killing her inside and she can't just say what she knows will shatter her and Miriam's world... MALIK OMARI Aside from the fact that he was Simeon's best friend, and they met in a very odd place... prison. He was also Kucheli's cousin but then he left the school for a year and came back the same year Simeon entered... Was his coming back a coincidence? Why didn't he tell Mariam the truth about him going to prison? What else is he hiding? Why does he support his cousin silently, even when he knows she's hurting their friend and it's breaking their friendship? What will happen when everyone finds out that something is linked together? And the worse thing? Life has just started because they are in secondary school... Two Sides Of Their Coin... Please excuse grammatical errors, it hasn't been edited yet... #wattysNG2020 #wattysng2020

*** "You have two options, Mr," She said with no expression whatsoever on her face while holding two fingers up as the rain poured down on them plastering her magnificent hair to her body. He gasped a little because he knew whatever the options were he wasn't going to like them, even if they were going to both be in his favor. He smiled inwardly 'Just like her always, saying whatever I'm to scared to say'. "Alright then, lets hear them." he said. "One, be mine" She suddenly let out a grin "or two I'll be yours" She walked to him as gracefully as the rain and the muddy ground would let her with her now straight face until they were face to face... well face to chest. "Either one is fine by me cause no matter what you do or where you run I will find you" She softened her eyes a little " Because Adnan, frankly I don't care how long and thick your walls are, or how long it'll take for me to break it down or even climb over, I'm not letting go, I don't care how many times you push me away, I won't leave ," she poked him with her finger "Yes, I'll give you your alone time, but I won't leave because of your fear to love, I won't leave what's mine, my young lad, I'm here to stay because that's what we both want". He couldn't do anything but stare down at her, he was fighting an inner battle where he didn't want his fear to triumph over his love for the young woman standing in front of him, '...let yourself love...' he remembered what his little sister said to him. He knew whatever happened he wanted to be with her so he did what they both never knew he had the courage to do or most unimaginably, initiate. He takes his hands from the straps on his backpack and led them to her face and brushed a strand of hair from her face before capturing her lips in his. Love triumphed. 'I love you Luna, and I'm going to finally tell you' he thought as she raised her arms around his neck. *** **(LISTEN, NO MATTER WHAT YO READ THIS IS A LOVE STORY. I HOPE YOU LOVE IT.)**
