Mr and Mrs Santos, they love her so much being
their only child. She attends hiddenville day and
boarding school and in grade 2 at the age of 16,
she is brilliant and always come out first in her
class. Lucia is a gentle and well trained girl, she
has two friends Vivian and Betty. In school they
are called the three monskaters because they
were always together. They attend the same
school, in the same class and also in the same
dormitory. The three friends sat in the class
during lunch break one afternoon, Lucia was
reading while Betty and Vivian were eating fruits.
“Hey Lucy, do you want some?” Betty asked
“No thanks.” Lucia said.
“Lucy, will you go to the party the senior
students are hosting with us?” Vivian asked.
“You guys can go but am not going.” Lucia said.
“Common, it’s gonna be fun, so many guys will
be there, pls go with us.” Betty pleaded.
“No, I don’t want to, I will rather stay up all night
reading my books instead of going to some
crazy party.” Lucia said
“Hmm, bookworm dats why you don’t have a
boyfriend, how can you have a boyfriend wen all
you know how to do is read, you don’t go out to
have fun.” Vivian said
“I never said am searching for a boyfriend, okay.”
Lucia said
“Fine don’t go, we’ll go alone.” Vivian said.
The lunch break was over and the students
returned to their various sit including Betty and
Vivian. The English teacher came in and gave
them some exercise to work on. After some hour
the closing bell was rang and the students packed
their stuffs and left the class.
When it was Abt 8:pm, Betty and Vivian began
dressing up for the party while Lucia was reading
a novel. They finished preparing and were about
to leave. “Lucy are you sure you don’t wanna
come with us?” Betty asked.
“No am not coming, have fun but remember to
be careful out there and you mustn’t take
alcohol.” Lucia said
“Ok ma’am, we won’t.” Vivian said and they
walked out of the room.
“Come back early, okay.” Lucia shouted
The next morning, their classroom teacher
entered the class and a boy followed behind him,
he was tall and handsome with a sexy eyes and
lips. The class became noisy at the sight of him,
all the girls begin to murmur. Lucia stood up. ”
Class say ur greetings.” She said and the students
also stood up and they greeted the teacher.
“Take ur sits.” The teacher said and they all sat
down.
“Here with me is a new member of our class,
introduce yourself to the class.” The teacher said
“Am Richard Carson Padilla, am a transferred
student.” He said and bowed a little.
“Alright, go and sit beside Lucy over there.” The
teacher pointed towards Lucy and he went to sit
beside Lucy. “Settle down, your teacher will be
here soon.” The classroom teacher said and left.
Lucia was busy solving some maths exercise,
she didn’t pay attention to Richard as he sat
beside her. He looked at her and saw that she
wasn’t staring at him like the other girls. “Hi
Lucy.” He said Lucia looked at him and he winked
at her, she ignored him and shift her attention
back to her book. The maths teacher came in and
the students greeted him. “Be sitted.” Mr Cash
said.
The lesson begin and Mr Cash wrote some
exercise on the board, then he asked who can
solve them. Richard was the first to raise his hand
then Lucia also raised her hand. “You are the new
transferred student if am right?” Mr Cash asked
“Yes sir.” Richard said.
“Ok, come out let’s see what you’ve got.” The
teacher said. He walked over to the front and took
the marker from the teacher then he went over to
the board and started solving. He solved the first,
second and then the third one. The teacher was
impressed and he asked the class to applaud him.
“Lucy, it looks like you now have a rival.” Mr Cash
said and Richard smiled. Lucia saw him smiling
but she ignored him. He walked back to his desk
and was still smiling and looking at Lucia, she
noticed but she ignored him.
Throughout the lesson, Richard kept staring at
Lucia and smiling at the same time, she couldn’t
ignore him anymore and then she turned to him.
“Can you stop staring at me.” She said with a low
voice. It’s actually the first time Lucia took a close
look at him. They looked at each other eyeball to
eyeball, she couldn’t help but stare at him, he
smiled then Lucia got a chill down her spine, she
quickly stared away. “Hmm, sorry but you have
dust on your face that was why I was staring.”
Richard lied. Lucia wiped her face with her and
Richard smiled.
“Ok, solve this exercise the maths teacher said
and Lucy, you and Richard should bring the
books to my office after lunch.” Mr Cash said and
left. Lucia glared at Richard and he smiled.

Vivian and Betty went to Lucia’s desk
Immediately the recession bell was jingled. She
was packing her books into her bag. Vivian
looked at Richard he was also arranging his
books, she went to him and Betty followed. “Hi
am Vivian.”
“Am Betty, we are both Lucia’s friend.” Betty said
“Ok, it’s nice meeting you guys.” Richard said.
“Your name is Richard right?” Vivian asked
“Yes, Richard Carson.” Richard said
“Can we call you Richie?” Betty asked
“Yes as you wish.” Richard said. Lucia was done
packing her books, she signalled Vivian and Betty
but they didn’t pay attention to her, she got angry
and started leaving, they saw her leaving and
they followed her. “Hey Lucy, wait up.” Betty
said. She stopped and glared at them
provockingly. “Wats wrong with you both, why
were u misbehaving earlier in the class?” She
asked
“Misbehaving? We weren’t misbehaving okay, we
were only introducing our self to the new
student.” Vivian said
“Oh really, alright why don’t you go back there
and keep introducing yourselves.” Lucia said.
“Hey Lucy, you have started again, why are you
being mean to the new student?” Betty asked.
“What do you mean being mean, who told you I
was mean to him?” Lucia asked
“I saw the way he was smiling at you in class,
trying to be friends with you then you yelled at
him.” Betty said.
“I never yelled at him, I only told him to stop
staring at me.” Lucia said
“He’s new here, you shouldn’t treat him d way
you treat other boys that once asked you out,
maybe he just want to be friends with you since
you guys desk is close to each other.” Vivian said
“Oh so because he’s new I should treat him like a
king right?” Lucia asked
“No one is saying you should treat him like a
king, just be nice to him.” Betty said
“And what if I don’t want to?” Lucia asked
“Then don’t get mad when we are trying to be
nice to him.” Vivian said
“Hmph.” Lucia smirked and walked away.
After the lunch break, the students were all sitted,
Lucia asked them for their maths work book and
they all submitted, after collecting, she divided it
into two, she took half and left the remaining for
Richard to carry. He carried it and they both went
to Mr Cash’s office.
“Hey Lucy, can I talk to you for a minute?”
Richard asked on there way back from the maths
teacher’s office. Lucia stopped and turned to him.
“Yes, what is it?” She asked
“Can we be friends? I want us to be friends since
we are sit mate.” Richard said.
“No.” Lucia said and starts walking away.
“Wait, why don’t you want to be friends with
me?” Richard asked.
“Because I don’t want to, I don’t like you so why
will I want to befriend u?” Lucia asked.
“Why don’t you like me? Is it because of what the
maths teacher said about me being your rival?”
Richard asked.
“Why will I have you for that?” Lucia asked.
“Well I heard you always come first in class, but
don’t worry I don’t intend to take ur position
from you.” Richard said.
“I don’t want to be friends with you and I don’t
care if you take my position or not, but you will
have to work hard before you can take it from
me.” Lucia said away.
Betty ran into the class and went direct to Vivian’s
desk. “Vivian, guess what I saw.” She said
“What did you see? Did you see a ghost?” Vivian
asked.
“No, I saw Lucy, she was talking with Richard
just now as I was coming from the restroom.”
Betty said
“Really? What were they talking about?” Vivian
asked
“How am I supposed to know, I didn’t go close
to them,I didn’t allow them to see me.” Betty
said.
“Hmm, but I thought she doesn’t want to be
friends with__.”Vivian stopped talking when she
saw Lucia entered the class and Richard followed
behind her. Vivian called her. Lucia saw Betty
sitting on Vivian’s desk, she knew something was
up, she walked over to Vivian’s desk and stood
beside Betty. “Yes whats wrong.” Lucia asked.
“What were you discussing with Richard? Betty
said she saw you two talking at the lobby.” Vivian
said
“We weren’t talking about anything important, he
just said he wants to be friends with me, thats
all.” Lucia said.
“Wow, so wat was ur response?” Vivian asked
“Well I told him no.”
“What! Why did you say no to him?” Betty asked
“Because I don’t like him.” Lucia said.
“Wait, don’t tell me you told him directly dat you
don’t like him.” Vivian asked
“Yes I did, look, I really don’t like that guy, he
looks like a flirt to me.” Lucia said
“Flirt? Lucy! How can you say such thing.” Betty
said.
“Well dats wat I think of him, am going to my

<>CHAPTER 3<>
Weeks later Richard was still trying to get close to
Lucia
but she kept pushing him away, she was walking
through
the lobby during lunch break when she heard
some group
of girls talking about Richard. “Have you guys
heard dat
Richard, the new transferred student is now
dating Sonia?”
One of the girls asked others.
“I heard the past few weeks he came to our
school, he has
dated about three girls and now he’s dating
Sonia.”
Another girl said “who knows, that might be the
reason
why he was transferred from his former school.”
Another
girl said. Lucia was pissed off by what the girls
were
saying, but she ignored them and went to her
class. There
wasn’t much students in the class, she entered
the
classroom and saw Richard, sitted on his sit with
earpiece
in his ears. She went to him and removed the
earpiece
from his ears. “Hey, wats wrong with you?”
Richard asked
“I should be the one asking you that.” Lucia said
“What do you mean?” Richard asked confused
“What is your relationship with Sonia?” Lucia
asked.
“Sonia? Who is Sonia?” Richard asked
“Hey, quit the pretence, you know exactly who
am talking
about, the whole school is talking about you,
about how
you’ve dated different girls in just the past few
weeks you
got transferred here. I knew from the first time I
saw you, I
knew you are a flirt, dat was why I don’t wanna
have
anything to do with you.” Lucia said.
“What are you saying, those aren’t true, it’s just a
baseless
rumors and besides I don’t even know this Sonia
girl u are
talking abt.” Richard said.
“Whatever, but you better keep your dating skills
in check
before the principal finds out, then u will be
transferred
from here again.” Lucia said
“You sound worried, why are you worrying
about me? I
thought you said you don’t like me.” Richard
asked
smiling.
“Fool, am not worried about you, am just telling
u this
because__.”
“Because what?” Richard asked.
“Because__I___I, because I don’t want you to ruin
our
class reputation, as the class president I have to
be
concerned.” Lucia said and walked away.
“Hmm, playing hard to get, hmm__ don’t worry,
I will
make you fall for me very soon.” Richard said to
himself
and put back his earpiece in his ears.
Lucia was sitting alone on the stairs, Betty and
Vivian saw
her and ran to her. “Lucy, Lucy.” Betty called.
“Yes what is it?” Lucia asked
“Have you heard?” Vivian asked.
“Heard what?” Lucia asked.
“Have you heard Richard is now dating Sonia
from wild
flower class after dating her best friend and
dumping her?”
Betty asked. Lucia stood up. “I don’t wanna hear
anything
about that idiot.” Lucia said
“Hey whats wrong? Why don’t you wanna talk
about
him?” Vivian asked
“No reason, I just don’t wanna talk or hear
anything about
him.” Lucia said
“Common Lucy, we are ur best friends, you can
tell us
anything.” Betty said
“Did you guys fight?” Vivian asked
“Ok, I already heard about him dating Sonia and I
went to
confront him.” Lucia said
“What!” Betty and Vivian exclaimed
“You confronted him?” Vivian asked
“Yes I did, I confronted him and he denied it, he
said it’s
just a rumor.” Lucia said
“And you believed him?” Betty asked
“Well not really but I also think it’s just a rumor,
and he
also said he doesn’t know who Sonia is.” Lucia
said
“Really? Wait a minute Lucy, I thought you said
you don’t
like him, as in you dislike him, so why did u go
and
confront him? It’s none of your business.” Vivian
said
“That’s because I don’t want the kids to start
talking bad
about our class because of him.” Lucia said
“Hmm, really?” Vivian asked
“Yes, let’s go, the break is over.” Lucia said and
they went
back to the class.
Some days later, the class teacher entered the
class and
the students greeted her. “Am here to inform you
guys
about the presentation coming up next week, all
classes
are to present what ever you know how to do,
each class
will have a representative and I want my class to
be the
best. So you guys should think of what to do and
let me
know.” The teacher said. The class was silent, no
one was
talking then Richard raised his hand. “Yes Richard,
what
do you have to say?” The teacher asked and the
students
turned to him. “Ma’am, I suggest we present a
song and a
dance.” Richard said
“Song and dance?” Mrs Tony asked
“Yes, since you said each class will have a
representative,
so in our class we can pick two representatives a
boy and
a girl, they will both sing a song and also dance.”
Richard
said.
“Nice idea, but Richard do u know any suitable
song to
present?” Mrs Tony asked
“Yes ma’am, I do.” Richard said
“Well then, if we have to go with that then you
will be
presenting it together with a girl but first does
anyone have
any other suggestions?” Mrs Tony asked. No one
responded. “Ok then, so we all agree with
Richards
suggestion right?”
“Yes!!” The class chorused except Lucia.
“So Richard you will be presenting together with
hmm.”
She looked around “Lucia.” She said.
Lucia was shocked as her name was mentioned.
She stood
up and glared at Richard and he smiled.
“The two of you will be our class representative,
a round
of applause for them.” Mrs Tony said.
“But ma’am, I don’t know how to dance.” Lucia
said
“Don’t worry I will teach you, am a good
dancer.” Richard
said.
“Did you hear, Richard said he will put you
through, you
will start practicing as from tomorrow.” The
teacher said
and starts leaving.
“But ma’am, d–n.” Lucia said as the teacher
walk out of
the room.

After school Richard went to meet Lucia as she was about to leave with her friends. “Hi.” He said. Lucia looked at him and walked away. The next day immediately the dismissal bell was jingled, Richard quickly pack up his books and went to Lucia. “Hey Lucy, are you done? We have to go to the practice room so we can start practicing.” He said but Lucia ignored him. She packed her stuff and called Betty and Vivian. “Let’s get going.” She said. They came to her and was about to leave, Richard grabbed her by the hand. “Lucy, we need to practice if you don’t want us to loose the presentation.” He said. Lucia shoved his hand away. “Is this the reason why you suggested we present a song? Because you want to get close to me? Well am sorry to say but it won’t work, I don’t care if we loose or not, and I thought you said you don’t know who Sonia is? But I saw you two together during lunch break.” Lucia said. “Oh, I swear I didn’t know that was her name, she told me her name was Jenna.” Richard said “What ever, just stop disturbing me.” Lucia said and walked away. “Lucy, why are you like this? You have really changed this past few weeks, the Lucia I know before would never say she doesn’t care if our class loose the presentation or not, u used to care about our class.” Vivian said on their way. “What are you saying?” Lucia asked “Vivian is right, common Lucy, you shouldn’t allow your pride and ego get in the way of our class victory. You don’t like Richard fine, but don’t because of your personal feeling make us loose this presentation, and besides it wasn’t Richard who chose you to be his partner, he only made a suggestion, so why getting mad at him, if u don’t want to be his partner you shud have gone to Mrs Tony and tell her to replace you with someone else.” Betty said. “You are the class president after all, you should be wishing for a the class successful.” Vivian said. Lucia looked at the both of them, she didn’t say anything as they walk to their dorm. During recession the next day, Lucia went to the class and saw Richard sitting alone, she went to him and was about to say something but he stood up and walked away, she went after him, calling his name but he couldn’t hear her because of the earpiece in his ears, she was about to catch up with him then she saw a girl walking towards him, it was Sonia, they hugged each other and left. Lucia watch them as they left and she went back to the class. After the last lesson and the teacher left Lucia went to Richard and stood in front of his desk. “What do you want? You said I should stay away from you.” Richard said. “Let’s practice.” Lucia said and Richard looked at him. “I will be waiting in the practice room.” She said and went to Betty and Vivian. “You two should go without me, am going to the practice room.” Lucia said “Alright you shud go.” Betty said and Lucia left them. Richard quickly pack up his books and dashed out of the class, he saw Lucia sitting inside the practice room, he walk to her and stood beside her. “Are you ready?” Richard asked. Lucia nodded positively “Ok, let’s begin with the song, here have it.” He gave a paper to her. “That’s the lyrics.” He moved close to her and pierced his earpiece into her ears. “Listen to the tune.” He said. After listening to the music she gave his phone back to him. “Here.” “Do you knw the tune now?” He asked “Yes.” She said “Ok, I will transfer it to ur phone later.” Richard said “Alright, let’s begin the dance.” Lucia said. “Okay.” Richard said and connected his phone to the speaker. He played a song and went to Lucia, he was about to teach her some steps, he was surprised when he saw that she could dance better than him, he looked at her as she was dancing, she stopped and turned to him. “what are you doing, let’s begin, as you can see I can dance so you don’t need to teach me.” Lucia said “ok, so can I have this dance?” He stretched out his hand and Lucia took it and they began dancing. They practiced the dance three times and Lucia became tired. “This is the third time we are dancing and am tired already.” She said. “Let’s do it one more time.” Richard said “Am tired I can’t.” Lucia said. Richard stopped the music and looked at Lucia as she was breathing fast. “Ok, let’s stop here, we’ll continue tomorrow.” He said “Ok, I will be leaving then.” Lucia said “Wait.” Richard said. He moves close to her and she moved back. “What is it?” She asked but he didn’t respond. He moved closer to her his chest almost touching hers and she gasped and moved back again. “What are you doing?” She asked. “I removed this from your hair.” Richard said “Thanks.” She said and took her bag to leave. “Here I won’t be needing this sheet anymore since you transferred the song to me already.” Lucia said “What about the lyrics, do you know it already?” Richard asked “Well no.” She said “Then why giving back the sheet, just take it with you.” Richard said. “Alright, I will leave now.” Lucia said and rushed out and Richard smiled.

<>CHAPTER 5<> The
D-Day came and Lucia was in the practice room
together with Richard, she was so nervous, she
kept pacing around the room. “Let’s go to the
hall, we would soon be called on.” Richard said.
“Now?” Lucia asked. “Yes, don’t be nervous, just
be cool, take a deep breath and relax.” Richard
said “Okay, let’s go.” Lucia said. Immediately they
got to the hall, a class just finished presenting a
drama, then the speaker called on their class. “Let
the shining star come up on stage.” The speaker
said and left the stage. Lucia became more
nervous. “Lucy, let’s do this.” Richard said. “Yes,
let’s do it.” She said and they went up to the
stage, when their classmates saw them they
shouted and cheered them up. Lucia was the first
to come to the front of the stage singing while
Richard wait behind the stage for his turn. Lucia
took a mic and started singing. (Lucia) “I never
dream cause I always thought day dreaming was
for kids, just a childish thing. And I could swear
love is just a game dat children play and no more
than a game. Till I met you, I never knew wat
love was Till I met you, this feeling seems to
grow more everyday I love more each day.” She
finished singing and Richard walked towards her
singing his part. (Richard) “I believe you, I believe
in every word that you say I love you other way.
Now I could swear love is not a game that
children play, so tell me that you will
staaaaay.” (Both) “Till I met you I never knew
what love was, till I met you, this feeling seems
to grow more everyday.. I love you more each
day.” (Lucia) “You and I should be together can’t
you see (can’t you see) can’t you seeeeeeeeeeeee.
” (Both) Till I met you, I never knew wat love was
Till I met you,this feeling seems to grow more
everyday I love you more each day uuuohohoh,
till I met you, till I met you, till I met you, till I met
uuuuu….Till I Met You.” They finished singing and
looked at each other, the audience shouted and
clapped for them. They dropped the mic and
Lucia took Richards hand then a song was played
and they started dancing, as they were dancing
Lucia kept staring at Richard. He flipped her and
the audience gasped thinking she was going to
fall but Richard held her waist and drew her close,
she gasped and looked at him and he smiled at
her. The dance ended and they bowed holding
each other’s hand. The audience gave them a
standing ovation and dey walked out of the stage.
They all rushed to their class after the
presentation, they were all happy and hailing
Lucia and Richard, their class teacher followed
behind them, she saw how excited they are and
she smiled. They got to the class and sat down,
Mrs Tony stood at the front of the class, she
watch them as they murmured. “Ok, silent
everyone.” She said “I can see how happy you all
are and I must say am equally happy, I knew the
shining stars can never loose, u always make me
proud, Lucy and Richard you guys really did
great, a round of applause for them.” Mrs Tony
said smiling. After addressing them, she left,
Richard looked at Lucia and he smiled at her, she
saw him smiling and she looked away. “Hey
Lucy, you guys really did awesome, you were
like a couple while on stage.” Betty said as she sat
on Lucia’s desk and Vivian sat beside her. “Betty,
stop it.” Lucia said as she saw that Richard was
looking at them. “Oh sorry, I was just so
excited.” Betty said. “Well it’s true, I saw how
sweet the both of you were looking at each other
as u were singing.” Vivian said “Can the both of
you stop talking rubbish.” Lucia said angrily.
“Anyways, I really like that song you guys sang,
can you transfer it to me?” Vivian asked “I will but
not now, you guys should go back to ur desk, I
need to read.” Lucia said. “Ok ma’am.” Betty and
Vivian chorused and left. Some minutes later the
dismissal bell was jingled and Lucia carried her
bag and stood up to leave but Richard stopped
her. “Lucy.” He called. “Yes.” She answered “So
can we be friends now?” He asked “Well, I don’t
know, but I will think abt it.” Lucia said and went
to meet her friends
[nextpage title=”Episode 6″]
<>Chapter 6<> While
in the room that night, Lucia couldn’t sleep, each
time she close her eyes all she see is Richards
smiling face, she tried forcing herself to sleep but
couldn’t. She decided to listen to a music, she
took her phone and searched for a music, she
scrolled and saw the music she sang together
with Richard, she recalled the moment, the way
they sang and danced and how Richard pulled
her from behind her waist and her heart beat
heavily. “Wats happening to me, why can’t I stop
thinking about Richard, I can’t seems to get his
thoughts out of my head, whats wrong?” She
thought to herself and she shook her head to get
those thoughts out of her head. The following
morning all the students were present in class
except Richard, Lucia kept looking at his desk. The
English teacher came in munites later and she
was greeted, she brought out her attendant book
and started calling the names of the students one
after the other until she got to Richards name.
“He’s not in school.” Lucia said. “Alright, let’s
begin todays lesson, bring out your text books.”
The teacher said. They all brought out their text
books. “Ok, Lucy read the poem in passage 75.”
The teacher said. Lucia stood up and started
reading, she got to the last line of the poem and
she paused, she looked at it then she continued.
“Value what you have when you still have it,
once it is gone/lost you might not be able to
retrieve it again.” She finished reading and sat
down. “Why do I feel like this poem is talking to
me.” She said to herself and took a glance at
Richards desk once again. “Hmmmph.” She
sighed. During recession, Lucia refused to go out
with her friends, she sat down down alone and
placed her head on her desk, she stared at
Richards desk and recalled when he would sit
there and smiled at her. “Why isn’t he in school.”
She said. Then a girl came to her and tapped her,
she sat up and looked at the girl standing beside
her. She was from the junior class. “Please am
here to see Richard, is he in school?” The girl
asked. Lucia glared at her badly and the girl
understood she wasn’t in a good mood so she
turned to leave. “Wait.” Lucia said and the girl
stopped. “Who are you to Richard?” Lucia asked.
“Am his girlfriend.” The girl said. “What? His
girlfriend?” “Yes, am his girlfriend.” “Alright, he
isn’t in school today.” Lucia said “Why? Is he
okay?” The girl asked “Are you asking me? How
am I supposed to know that? Anyways whats
your name so when he comes tomorrow I will
let him know you came.” Lucia said “Don’t
bother, I will just call him.” The girl said “You
should have done that instead of coming here.”
Lucia whispered to herself. “What did you say?”
The girl asked “Nothing, but I want to know your
name.” Lucia said “Chloe.” The girl said and
walked away. The next day, Lucia went to the
class hoping to see Richard but wen she got to
the class he wasn’t there, she walked to her desk
and sat down. “isn’t he coming today too.” Lucia
said. Just then Richard walked in and Lucia stared
at him until he got to his desk and sat down. He
looked at her and she was still staring. “Hey
whats up.” He said “Huh? Uhm.” Lucia quickly
stare away. “Are you okay, you’ve been staring
at me since I came in, do you want to say
something to me?” He asked. “Uhm, nothing.”
Lucia said.” “Okay.” Richard said “Errrhh, your
girlfriend, was here yesterday, she was looking
for you.” Lucia said “Oh, we already spoke to
each other yesterday, but thanks anyway.”
Richard said “You’re welcome.” Lucia said Their
class teacher came in and they all stood up and
greeted her. “How are you all doing today?” She
asked “Very fine ma’am.” The class chorused.
She began the role call and when she was done
she walked over to their midst. “Kids, I think its
time we elect a new assistant class president, it’s
been months since Daniel transferred school, so
we need to replace him.” Mrs Tony said. “Who
will be the assistant class president?” She asked.
No one responded. “Anyone? Or should I pick
someone myself?” She asked but still no
response. “Ok then, since no one is volunteering,
I will choose someone myself, Richard please
stand up.” Mrs Tony said. Richard saw it coming
so he wasn’t surprised and he stood up. “You will
be Lucia’s assistant, since the two of you are the
top students in our class.” The teacher said and
then another teacher walked in. “Ok guys, your
language teacher is here.” Mrs Tony said and she
packed up her books and left. +++ Lucia is in love

towards them, Vivian noticed Lucia’s change of
mood but she was quiet. When dey got close,
Lucia saw the girl was Chloe, Richard saw how
Lucia was looking at them and they walked pass

shame, he has broken up with Sonia and now
he’s dating someone else.” Betty said “Am sorry
but I don’t have appetite anymore, I will just go
back to the class.” Lucia said and left. “Whats
wrong with her?” Betty asked “I think Lucia has
fallen in love with Richard.” Vivian said “What are
you saying, you know how much Lucia despises
him.” Betty said “Well thats what I think, can’t
you see the way she acts nowadays, yesterday
she kept staring at Richards desk, she refused to
go out for lunch because he wasn’t in school.”
Vivian said. “Vivian!” Betty called “What? Am only
saying what I saw, and now she was in a good
mood until she saw Richard with a girl and then
she suddenly lost her appetite.” Vivian said. “Well,
dats just what you want to think.” Betty said.
They finished eating and left the cafeteria. They
got to the class and saw Lucia, she placed her
head on her desk. “Lucy, here, we bought this for
you.” Betty handed her some snacks in a
waterproof. “Thanks.” She said and kept it under
her locker. “Lucy are you okay?” Betty asked.
“Yes am fine.” Lucia said. “Are you sure, Lucy
you know we are your best friends and we are
like sisters, what ever is bothering you, you can
tell us ok.” Vivian said “Yes I know, don’t worry
about me, am fine.” Lucia said and the three of
them hugged each other. When it was time to
dismiss from school, Lucia went to meet Betty
and Vivian. “U guys should go first, I need to do
something.” she said and went to Richard. “I
need to talk to you.” She said and walked out.
Richard carried his bag and go after her. She
stopped when she got to the store room, she
looked at him and she opened the door and went
in. “Why are we here?” Richard asked her. She
turned and face him. “You__ didn’t I tell you to
keep your flirting skills in check? Now you don’t
even care anymore, you now flirt openly so
everyone will see that you are a flirt and a
Playboy.” Lucia said angrily. “What are you so
angry about? And who gave you the right to call
me names?” Richard asked. “Why? Aren’t you a
flirt and a Playboy?” Lucia asked. “You think you
can just do as you please, you can just toy with
girls feelings as you want, last month it was
Sonia and this month it’s Chloe, who knows who
it gonna be next month. You change girls like you
are changing ur underwear.” Lucia yelled. “So
what does that have to do with you? Are you the
girls? Are they your sisters? If am changing girls
it’s none of your d–n business, you don’t want
to have anything to do with me so stay out of
my business.” Richard yelled back “Of course, its
none of my business, why do I even care how
you live your stinky life, I don’t care, do what
ever you like.” Lucia said and walked out. “D–n
it.” Richard said and also left the room. Lucia got
to the room and saw Betty sitting on the bed, she
walked in and went to her bed. “Hey Lucy.” Betty
called. “Where did Vivian go to?” Lucia asked “She
went to see Jake.” Betty said “Okay.” Lucia said
“You don’t look gud, did you cry? Common talk
to me, what happened.” Betty asked concerned
and went to sit beside her. Lucia looked at her
and began to cry. “Lucy pls talk to me, whats
wrong? Why are you crying?” Betty asked “Betty,
what am I going to do now.” Lucia said “What
are you going to do about wat, I don’t
understand.” Betty said “I think___ I think am in
love with Richard.” Lucia said “What?! You love
Richard? How comes? Oh my goodness, why
Richard, why do you have to fall in love with
someone like him.” Betty said surprised “It started
from the day we did the presentation, I really
don’t know what to do.” Lucia said “Is dat why
you are crying?” Betty asked. “I really can’t fall in
love with Richard, you know exactly what he is
like, he’s not the kind of guy I should be having
this kind of feelings for.” Lucia said “Thats true,
you don’t deserve someone like him.” Betty said
“I think this is the Lord’s way of punishing me for
rejecting all the guys that once asked me out.”
Lucia said “No, don’t say that, to love isn’t a
punishment, you don’t love those guys that was
why you didn’t accept them, and now you’ve
finally found the one you love but too bad he’s a
playboy, so are you going to tell him?” Betty
asked “No, I can’t tell him, never, besides I don’t
intend on dating him.” Lucia said “Then what
about your feelings, what are you going to do
about it?” Betty asked “Nothing, I will just make
sure he doesn’t find out about it.” Lucia said and
stood up. “Where are u going to?” Betty asked.
“The restroom.” She said and smiled.////// It’s
cool right Lucy don’t wanna fall in love with a
Playboy…….

Chapter 8<><>
The following day, Lucia sat down in the school
garden together with Betty and Vivian, it was
during break, the three of them were eating
snacks and Vivian was telling them about her
quarrel with Jake her boyfriend, then they saw
Richard walking hand in hand with Chloe, he
didn’t see them but Chloe saw Lucia staring at
them. “Richard, whats wrong with that girl, the
way she looks at you each time she sees us
together, I think she has a crush on you.” Chloe
said. And Richard looked at the direction Chloe
was looking at and he saw Lucia looking at them,
she stared away when he saw her. “Don’t worry
about her, and she doesn’t have a crush on me.”
Richard said
“Hey Lucy, are you okay? Betty told me about
your feelings for Richard.” Vivian said
“Am okay.” Lucia said
“Why don’t you tell him about it.” Vivian said
“No I can’t, he has a girlfriend and he doesn’t
even like me , telling him how I feel when I know
he has a girlfriend is the perfect ingredient for an
heartache.” Lucia said
“No, I think he likes you, I can see it in his eyes
each time he looks at you, thats why he’s always
after you.” Vivian said
“No, he’s a player, what if he just want my
attention so he can toy with my feelings the way
he does with other girls.” Lucia said
“Let’s go back to the class.” Betty said.
“I don’t feel like going to the class.” Lucia said
“Why? Because u don’t want to see him?
Common be the brave Lucia we know.” Betty
said.
“Alright let’s go.” Lucia said and they went to the
class.

Gistroom
<>Chapter 9<> For
about two days Lucia couldn’t get Richard out of
her mind, she couldn’t concentrate in class, most
times she would sit alone and be lost in thought.
She was sitting in class one noon during lunch
when Betty and Vivian came to her, they called
her but she didn’t hear or see them. “Hey Lucy.”
Betty tapped her and she stood up in shock.
“Whats wrong? We’ve been calling you but you
were lost in thought.” Betty said “Sorry but I have
to be somewhere.” Lucia said and moved out of
her desk. “Where are you going?” Vivian asked
her but she didn’t answer and she walked out in a
hurry. “Why is she acting weird these days.”
Vivian asked “Let’s just let her be for now.” Betty
said. Lucia walked through the lobby, she was
looking every corner as she walk. “Where could
he be, I really have to tell him how I feel, I don’t
care anymore, maybe after telling him I will feel
better.” Lucia said as she was walking. She got to
the cafeteria and saw Richard sitting opposite
Chloe. Chloe saw her walking towards them but
Richard didn’t see her becos he was backing her,
Lucia walked over to them before Chloe could tell
Richard, she stood beside them and Richard was
surprised. “Richard, come with me I need to talk
to you.” Lucia said “Excuse me, are you blind?
Can’t you see he’s with someone, you can’t just
come here and tell him to come with you, who
the hell do you think you are.” Chloe said “I have
to talk to you now.” Lucia said ignoring Chloe
then she walked away. “Chloe, I have to go, I
think it’s an emergency.” Richard said as he stood
up. “What, you are going to leave me here and
go with her.” Chloe said. “I will be back.” Richard
said and followed Lucia. “Richie, like seriously,
whats really going on between those two? Am
really pissed off right now.” Chloe said. Lucia
stopped when she got to the rooftop, she turned
and looked at Richard. “Whats going on? What
do you have to tell me? And why on the
rooftop.” Richard asked. “I have something to tell
you.” Lucia said “Isn’t that why we are here, so
what is?” Richard asked. “I___I___I.” She
stammered and tightened her fist. “You what?” “I
think___am in love with you.” She said with her
eyes closed. Richard was flabbergasted, he
looked at her and smiled. “You think or you are?”
He asked. Lucia opened her eyes and looked at
him. “Yes, I am, am in love with you.” She said
and immediately Richard drew her close and
kissed her, Lucia was shocked, she flung her eyes
wide open, Richard caressed her cheek and
kissed her softly, she pushed him away and
slapped him then she walked away. “Lucy.”
Richard tried going after her but she yelled at him.
“Don’t follow me.” She said and climbed down
the stairs, she walk as fast as she could and
Richard followed her, she walked pass Betty at
the front of their class, Betty called her but she
entered inside the class. She was about to go
after her then she heard Richard call out her
name. “Betty, wait.” He said. “What is it?” Betty
asked “Please give me Lucia’s number.” Richard
said “What for? And what did you do to her?
Why is her face pale.” Betty asked “I didn’t do
anything to her, she told me about her feelings
for me and before I could say anything, she ran
off.” Richard lied “What? She told you already?”
Betty asked surprised. “Yes she did, please just
give me her number, I need to speak to her, am
sure she don’t want to talk to me right now, so I
want to call her on phone later.” Richard said.
“Am not sure about this, but I don’t like seeing
her troubled so I will give it to you, you guys
should sort things out.” Betty said and typed
Lucia’s number on his phone. The following day
was Saturday, Lucia was lying on her bed, she
was alone, Betty and Vivian weren’t in the room.
She closed her eyes and recalled the kiss, it was
actually her first kiss, she opened her eyes and
touched her lips. Her phone began to ring and
she looked at the caller but it was an unknown
number. “Who could this be.”she said and picked
up. “Hello, sorry who am I unto?” Lucia asked
“Lucy, its me.” “Richard? You_ how did you get
my number and why are you calling me?” Lucia
asked. “I just want to apologise for what I did,
am really sorry, I never meant to do dat, I was
just so excited when you said you love me.”
Richard said “The fact that I told you how I feel
about you, doesn’t mean that I want to go out
with you, I told you so I could ease my self from
the pain I feel inside me.” Lucia said. “I told you I
love you but you dont have to love me back, you
don’t even know what love is anyway since you
are a player.” She added. “But I love you.”
Richard said “Sorry but am hanging up.” Lucia
said and hung up. At school on Monday, Lucia
was walking to the class with her friends, Richard
saw them and walked up to them. “Lucy, can we
talk.” He asked “No, I don’t wanna talk to you.”
Lucia said while walking. “We have to talk.”
Richard said “And I said I don’t wanna talk to you,
can’t you just let me be.” Lucia said “No, I can’t let
you be, we need to talk now.” Richard said and
held her by the wrist. “What are you doing, let go
of me.” Lucia yelled “Richie, whats your problem,
she said she doesn’t want to talk to you, so let go
of her.” Vivian said. Richard ignored her and
dragged Lucia away, Lucia tried to free her hand
from his grip but she couldn’t. “Richard you are
hurting me, let me go.” She said but Richard
didn’t listen to her. He took her to the rooftop and
when they got there he let go of her hand.
“Ouch, what have come over you, are you out of
your mind.” Lucia yelled at him. “Yes am out of
my mind, what is wrong with you, I never asked
you to tell me how you feel for me, you were the
one who came to me and told me you love me
and when I told you I love you back, you are
playing hard to get.” Richard yelled back. “But I
told you not to love me, I didn’t tell u that I love
you for you to love me back.” Lucia said “But I
love you, I really do.” Richard said “Then prove it,
prove to me that you really love me.” Lucia said.
“How? How should I prove it to you?” Richard
asked. “The only way you can prove your love
for me, is for you to stop being a playboy and
start living responsible.” Lucia said “Ok, I promise
you, I will change and I will also end everything I
have with Chloe. I know I have been an a—–e
and a jerk, but I promise to change for you.”
Richard said “Really?” Lucia asked “Yes, just
promise me you will be my girlfriend after that.”
Richard said. “Am sorry, I can’t promise you
that.” Lucia said “Why not?” “I just have to be
sure you have really changed before going out
with you.” Lucia said. “Ok, I understand, but at
least untill you are sure that have really changed,
can you stop ignoring me and let’s be friends.”
Richard said “Ok, I won’t ignore you anymore.”
Lucia said. “Thanks.” Richard said and hugged
her. “Hey stop, someone might see us.” Lucia
said “No one can see us up here.” Richard said.
Lucia pulled away from him. “I have to go.” She
said. “To where.” Richard asked. “To the class.”
Lucia said walking away. “But the stairs is this
way.” Richard said smiling. Lucia turned back and
walked towards the stairs. “Let’s go together.”
Richard said. “No, I will leave first.” Lucia said as
she was walking. Richard was looking at her and
smiling at the way she was walking awkwardly.
Lucia has finally disclosed her feelings to
him
