~In Peace and War, Love will surely rule~

Jaiyeola's POV

I sighed and wore my uniform slowly, I was still lost in thoughts, everything had changed so quickly.

I walked out of my bedroom to have breakfast,  I walked past Stella's room she stepped on her pajamas while trying to pull it off like the lazy girl she was.

She just recovered from the heartbreak she received from her bestie. In fact she stopped wearing the waist bead and necklace Vicky gave her on her birthday.

How could I have forgotten that Thursday.

Vicky came to school and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood, she had also been avoiding Stella before that day.

Stella finally gathered enough courage to walk up to her and ask what was wrong.

Stella was puzzled, she was shocked and very surprised, she couldn't believe Vicky could give her such a cold reply. Vicky started to create a scene, calling Stella a bad friend, insulting Stella and warning Stella to stay away, and till now we still don't know what Stella might have done wrong.

Even Stella has no idea, she kept thinking, nagging and crying till she fell sick, still Vicky showed no concern.
It made me wonder if she was a good friend in the first place, no remorse, no pity she didn't even miss Stella.

Then as if that was not enough all of a sudden Richard the cool nerdy guy too started giving Timi, Stella and Paul attitude.

And now that I'm getting closer to Timi, Vicky is not talking to me or Timi.

I know one thing for sure, Olaitan has an hidden agenda, Olaitan is manipulative, she's deceptive!, she's a fox, a tortoise, she's playing her game well, she's the master planner.
I walked past Stella's room after smiling at her as she struggled to take off her clothes.

It made me remember Stella's birthday,  the night before they all started to tear apart. The last time I saw Daniel before he was admitted to Krystal private hospital where he's been receiving treatments.

That night we were all still together, celebrating happily but since then everything changed for the worse.

A week ago.

Timi and I became so close, in fact my friends started thinking we were dating.
But I just had to stand by him and I went to meet him when I had no one to talk to, he tutored me and we plotted some plans to stop the misunderstanding between our friends but all to no avail.

Stella doesn't want to talk to Vicky again and Vicky won't even look at my face or Timi's.

I had gotten so close to Timi, we were best buddies.
My friends kept arguing that there's something between us when truly there was nothing between us. 
He'd also told me how he'd slept with some girls in this school which was Timi's dark side, everyone knew he was a bad boy..

At first I wasn't so surprised, by the way he talks to some girls, placing his hands on their ass and kissing in empty classes.

So it wasn't a news that he had made out or slept with some girls, he's that bad wealthy guy, I wouldn't be friends with him but I like the fact that he respects girls no matter what.

He talked about how he slept with a lot of proud girls from Olanna to Cynthia to Chisome to Caroline, most were junior girls from different classes starting from JSS3 some were quickies and others he'd lodged in an hotel with them.

My jaws dropped and he kept giggling as he spoke.

"The girls keep coming for me."

He'd said leaving me very speechless.

That Wednesday after sport, he told me about Olanna, he said she was a pretender, that she was crushing on Daniel and that she was a bad girl but she acted like she hated Daniel.

Wahala no dey finish.

He told me how she even broke up with her boyfriend just so she could sleep with Timi several times, I just laughed it off like it was nothing and deep down my mind was like...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt?

I did feel weird at first because this was confidential information, that he said he has only told me and no one else, but he shouldn't be telling me right?

He told me about Cynthia, the spoilt brat, he slept with her even at her house when her mom was home they'd done it in the bathroom. At this point I started to feel irritated.

Timi with Cynthia, that's so messed up.
She was even moaning loud, he had to cover her mouth, and then she was begging for more.

This was so irritating but I could only imagine.

Then Caroline, the shy one who begged him for intimacy.
This one was mostly shocking because Caroline looked very innocent.

Caroline was shy, beautiful, cool headed, she looked very holy but I needed to stop judging a book by its cover.

Caroline stopped talking to him when she realised that he just wanted to sleep with her, no feelings attached.

Timi felt bad, she was heart broken, in fact her grades were dropping seriously, Caroline was ashamed.

I felt Timi was confiding in me for a reason, and I kept wondering why he was telling me.

He said he once kissed Vicky but he regretted it because they were just friends and nothing more and since then he never made an attempt to do so or even move closer to her.
He said he didn't know how it happened and it made him feel very awkward especially when Vicky discussed it with him another day.

He had to apologize for what they both did and he told her it was their little mistake that had no feelings attached.

This made me very puzzled, ] don't understand the love triangle again.

Richard likes Stella but Stella likes Daniel, Daniel likes me and I'm still confused about my feelings.

Then Vicky likes Timi and Timi is sleeping around with Caroline, Cynthia and Olanna and theses girls he slept with all have an hidden crush for Daniel.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt!
Then what exactly does Olaitan want??

Then he said something that shocked me.

Timi told me about Olaitan, he said he wanted to get in her pants too but something was strange about her, other girls would take time to get close to him, 'they would do shakara' some will reject him, some will even act like they don't like him, others will make sure he begged for some weeks, but Olaitan was different.

She was even the one seducing him which he thought was strange, she always found his lame jokes to be funny, she even enjoyed the way he flirted and flirted back, Timi thought it was weird, it was beyond ordinary, she was not his kind of girl even for Cynthia it wasn't so easy to get into her pants, he said, so he decided not to hang out with her.

'She's dangerous!' he uttered.

"And there's this one girl I love..." I glared at him with a pout that said *seriously?* he raised his arms up in surrender.

"I swear I love her, not her pants." he uttered, I just laughed it off.

It was hard to believe that he loved some particular girl, I mean he's literally a player.

"I'm damn serious here Missy." he replied with a frown that spread across his face.

Then I realised he was serious.

"Why do you love her and not her pants?"

He sighed when I asked him that, almost like he was thinking of a way to explain something to me that wasn't easy to understand.

"When I get into a girls pants most times there's usually no feelings attached, I've only loved one girl before and she broke me! Now there's this other girl, and I don't love her because I want to get into her pants."  He replied trying his best to explain it to me.

"Okay, so who's this girl?" I asked him hoping he was going to say Vicky.

"Aproko don't goan solve what I asked you to solve." he replied, I rolled my balls before facing my book. But deep down I wanted to know who this girl was.
I wanted to hear him say Vicky!

Then on Thursday Afternoon.
    After my English class, we sat down talking in our usual spot in the biology lab. He was busy with his physics homework when I spotted him...
While we were talking, Clara, Faith and Ore came in and winked at me, it made me feel very weird as I rolled my eyes and hissed loudly.

Hissing for me then was a new bad habit, I never did it before.

They had been noticing us together, warning me that he's a player, 'he just wan chop your work' 'he go jus help you dey service your engine.'
Clara and Faith said to me one time as they giggled.

"Ewww." I replied with a frown on my face.
...............

"So what are you talking about that you can't discuss with us? Huh?" Faith uttered winking at me again.  Timi chuckled before he got up to leave the lab.

When he left one of them shut the door behind.

"First it's Daniel now Timi?" My eyes opened widely. Clara smirked before pulling a stool beside me.

I kept wondering how they knew Daniel and I were becoming a thing. I didn't remember telling anyone about it.

Then Ore and Faith sat opposite us.

How the fuck did they get to know about Daniel.

"What?" I asked looking very very surprised.

"I'm not dating them and we're just friends." That was my reply to the different questions glued to their faces.

"Just friends?, why Timi every time and not Paul?" I was starting to loose my temper and it was obvious.

"I've told you the truth it's up to you to believe what you want." I replied rolling my eyes.

"Something is not right." Ore uttered.

"...You're hiding something from us." she added

I hissed in disbelief. I need to stop this bad habit!

"You really wanna know?" I asked looking at them one after the other.
They all nodded excitedly, their eyes fixed with curiosity.

Aproko

"Timi and his friends, they've fought." Ore hissed, I think this was not what she was expecting, that was not what they wanted to hear.

"They're my friends too, now Vicky is following that new girl in their class, and Stella is with Paul leaving Timi out with no friend.
Most times we talk about the others or about Daniel and he's tutoring me maths too." I added raising up my maths text book as proof.

They all nodded even though Clara was still doubting it.

"what caused the fight self?" Ore asked looking a bit confused.

I was confused too.

"I don't know, I just pray Daniel gets well soon so all of it can stop." I replied before letting out a sigh......

That Friday.

I was headed to the SS3 classroom to see Stella, I wanted to collect my money for food when I barged into the classroom through the first door.

Then I met only Cynthia and Olaitan and the minute I came in they flinched and paused their discussion, something told me that they were plotting something very bad.

I stared at them for a while looking around trying to figure out what exactly was going on.

Then I left the classroom when it was starting to feel awkward but I was sure they were up to something.

Something did not sit right with this friendship of theirs.

On my way back I bumped into Aisha.

"Hi Please have you seen Stella?" I asked Aisha, she had a drink and snacks in her hand as she munched unto her sausage roll hungrily.

"Earlier I saw her studying in the LR but she might have gone down.

I turned around before letting a sigh I decided to check the LR before going down stairs to look for her.

I passed in front of the SSS3 classroom again then Cynthia and Olaitan became mute again, Aisha entered the classroom and then Cynthia decided to leave the SSS3 classroom.

Something did not sit right with both of them talking and relating well.
And the way they were acting and communicating with their eyes.
I paid attention to them as I walked past the class and into the LR.

"Stella?" I called hoping to see Stella there but instead I met Timi studying.

"Jj."

"Ohh hey, have you seen Stella?"
I asked scratching my head, I was getting tired of this school day by day.

"Yeah, she just left here, she couldn't stand my presence so as I came in here she left." Timi said with a sad face.

"I tried talking to her, she's not even hearing me out, she doesn't want me to talk to her about her friends or you." I said, he didn't say anything instead he just stared at me which was a bit uncomfortable.

"What?" I asked looking a bit puzzled as I checked my clothes if it had a stain.

I don't remember Aisha's Mirinda drink pouring on my shirt.

"You..."

"What's wrong with me, I asked as I moved closer to him, thinking he will stop staring at me.

I took a sit in front of him and peeked at his note book.

"Nothing." he said, I hissed, again.

"Stop whining me before I drag out your lungs after shoving my hands in your...."

"Haba... Someone cannur play with you ni?" he said before laughing I just stared at his book while he did that.

"You know that girl?"

"which girl?"

"The girl I told you I love." he uttered looking at me with those serious eyes.

"what about her?" I asked a bit curious.

"you know who she is?"

"Later you'll say I'm doing Aproko Huh?" I asked as I used a broom stick to remove the dirt in my nails.

"I'm serious jae, you know her?"

"how am I going to know her you didn't tell me her name?"

"You." he said narrowing his eyes at me.

"What happen to me." I asked, I was starting to think he was whining me again.

"She's you." he said and after that there was an awkward silence.
He nodded and then faced his book again.

Then came this mixed feelings, irritated, confused, pitiful, all in all I felt stupid.
I felt weird.

Why?, why? Why me.!
Why me all the time, I didn't even know what to say.

I just stood up after a while and headed to door, I was expecting him to call me back which he did but one part of me wish he didn't,  it's already too awkward so he shouldn't spice it up.

I'm starting to feel he and his friends are playing with my emotions.

First Daniel is sick then this new girl comes from no where and starts feeding Vicky lies about her friends. Then she fights with Stella and then ruins Richard's relationship with Daniella.
To spice it up Richard hates Stella and Timi.
Then Stella is with Paul,
Cynthia has a new liar friend and now the Timi, Vicky's die hard crush says he likes me when I think I'm starting to like Daniel.

Really?
I'm chilling with drama queens and kings!

" Uhm it's okay if you don't feel the same... Just couldn't hold it any longer."

Is he kidding me?
He just wants to slide into my pants as always
He's not my type, he's a bad boy, a player.... Ewwwwww!

He shouldn't have told me he should have kept it with him!

I left the class trying my best to push out a fake smile which I wished I did not attempt.

I walked back to my class, my friends were busy eating, drinking and gisting without me and immediately I got in they all smirked and winked at me which made me feel very weird.

They were suspecting I was dating Timi and now, just now this Timi is crushing on me.

I just ignored them I had a puzzle to fix, and they were many missing pieces! Like why is Vicky not talking to Stella , and why is Paul not talking to Timi, why did Richard break up with Daniella and why does he hate Stella.
Why is Vicky ignoring Timi.
And what is between Cynthia and that new girl?
