This happened a few days after the season premier of the show. I uploaded a song by Simi 👆 listen to it while reading❤❤

I woke up late on a Saturday morning and started cleaning up; I  asked someone to get my food stuffs from the market for me.

I went through my closet and found an old box containing some of my accessories with sentimental value.

I saw the bracelet Ziri gave me when we were in 10th grade; I was surprised that after so many years it still looked good, I smiled as I dropped it.

I saw old photos from my university days and a few from my secondary school when I was a cheerleader. I bought out a white satin Hair scrunchie;  I remembered it very well. It was given to me by I.B and I didn’t have the mind to throw it away.

‘Why did things have to turn out like this’ I sighed

Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.

‘Speaking of the devil’ I said as I opened the door.

‘What do you want?’ I asked

‘There’s no need to be rude or anything, I come in peace, well to make peace with you’ he said

I sighed then allowed to come in

‘Thank you’ he said

‘You’re welcome, can you please get straight to the point’ I said impatiently as I sat down adjacent him.

‘Oh okay’ he was fidgeting then started talking

‘I know its been over 7 years since we graduated but there are a lot of things that were never discussed due to some things but I want to be honest with you’ he said

‘And what are they?’ I asked

He looked so cute trying to explain himself so it was difficult being stern on him.

‘Its about us’ he said

How dare he?

‘Don’t you dare bring up what I think you want to talk about!’ I said angrily

‘I know you have a right to be angry but please can I explain myself. I understand if you would never want to forgive me but please I ask that you listen to what I have to say’

I was really angry but the look on his face made my heart melt then I asked him to explain

‘When you newly came, you were hardly noticed till you entered SS2, due to your body development. With the kind of classmates we had then almost every guy wanted you like you were a prize; I was also included so we made a bet and it involved me crossing limits with you and I could not afford to lose because of my stupid reputation in school. Ziri was unaware of this because everyone knew your relationship and the rest is not in my place to say’

I felt tears drop from my face and quickly cleaned it up

‘I became your friend and I saw a very attractive side of you and I had a crush on you but I was ashamed to tell them because of my stupid reputation and the bet. The bet was valid for a month but we started dating 6 months after so I wasn’t bothered about the bet anymore and I assumed they forgot about it till the night I let my hormones get the best of me.

After that evening I was extremely guilty and I didn’t know what we did was recorded and had spread ; I couldn’t face you after then. I was hurting inside and I didn’t know what to do; I was really stupid and proud then, Ziri was furious when he found out and if not for him things would have been much worse.’

I cleaned the tears from my eyes  ‘At least I had someone who valued me more than some stupid reputation’ I said

‘I am truly sorry Avery, I made you go through a lot’ he said

‘A lot?’ I laughed sarcastically while cleaning my tears

‘A lot is an understatement; do you know what I truly went through at that school? You are the main reason I wasn’t balanced throughout my senior year. I couldn’t concentrate knowing i was I was constantly judged in every single thing I did because of a stupid bet. Imagine being constantly insulted and teased for something that was supposed to be private. When Ziri did whatever he did to stop it it still continued. It was horrible; I couldn’t stand it and I let it affect me academically and imagine doing poorly, getting a course that was useless in a country we found ourselves in and seeing your mates in the same place as you are but in a different environment studying their dream course. Whenever ypu guys see each other they remember ypu for being part of something you're not proud of; that incident still haunts you and gives you all forms of nightmares. I couldn’t take it anymore and I was gradually falling into depression. I was lucky to have sat up to pass our school leaving certificate exams otherwise I won’t be who I am today. I had to leave and no one knew exactly why. I always wished I had a normal senior school life where there was drama and fun but all that was snatched away from me because of you. I can’t openly say this was the fun part of my senior life without remembering what I went through; I don’t know how I did it but I trained myself to move on that its life’ I said while tears were dropping from my face.

‘Wait you don’t know what Ziri did?’

‘Don’t you dare put the blame on Ziri here besides he forbade me from seeing you and he has a right to’ I said angrily

‘Avery, I am so sorry for what I did if I could go back I would change very single thing I did—’

‘But you cant!’ I shouted back

‘You can’t, so stop saying this!!! I was really hurt badly and I don’t want to be again’ I said

He came closer then I pushed him away

‘Don’t touch me!!! You lost that right a long time ago, just get out!!!’

‘Please’ he pleaded

‘Just leave my house’ I pointed towards the door

‘But’

‘Just leave before I do something we’ll both regret’ I said angrily

He had a look of defeat and regret and quietly left then he turned and said

‘Believe me, I was never at peace after what I did to you and I still regret it till this day but our relationship meant something to me although it was based on deceit’ then he walked out.
