||Eno's POV||

I had the pillow pressed hard against my face, as I recalled what Felix did at school today, after the game.

"Arrrrgggghhh!" I growled loudly, for the umpteenth time. "Why did he have to do that?! Now I can't get him off of my head."

"Oh geez," Emem pulled the pillow off of my face. I had called her three minutes ago, so I could tell her what happened between Felix and I this evening after the game.

"You don't get it, Emem. I wasn't expecting him to do that. Why did he have to do that?!" I exclaimed dramatically.

"Well....." Emem dragged, as she laid beside me. "Have you considered that, he maybe have some feelings for you?"

"Feelings?" I asked confusingly. "What type of feelings?"

Emem smacked me at the side of the head. "He might like you, dummy."

"Felix doesn't____"

"He has been super friendly towards you, for some time now. He hugs you in class, holds your hands, looks at you in a flirtatious manner and don't forget that he almost kissed you at his home." Emem ranted.

"So?" I brushed it off, while shrugging my left shoulder.

"So," Emem adjusted a bit, so she could lay on her side. "I think Felix likes you. You're just too stupid to acknowledge it."

"Emem!" I growled again, as I pulled the comforter over my face. "You ain't helping."

She laughed beside me. "Whatever. Yeah, Eno?" Her laughter died down.

"Yeah?" I pulled down the comforter, then turned to face her.

"Sofia, Shade and I, are going to the shopping mall to get some gifts for Dafe. Wanna tag along?"

"Uuuuh," I cooed at Emem. "Someone's head over heels for Dafe Godspower."

"Shut up," She retrieved my phone and started playing some online game. "It's his birthday. How does buying a gift for someone, determine that you've already fallen for them?"

"Well, the gift is for someone that's single." I wiggled my brows at her, then pointed at my phone. "Hey, don't drain my battery. You've got yours."

"Shut up," She grasped the pillow and smacked it on my face.

I chuckled, "Someone's in lov___"

"Shut up!"

Sofia, Shade and I, were at Emem's room, preparing for Dafe's party. Emem and I had already informed mum and dad, about the party and we were allowed to attend it. We agreed for our designated driver to drive all four of us, to the party.

I wore a red knee-length lace gown, since red was my favorite colour. Sofia wore a purple jumpsuit. Shade was wearing a black fancy lap length straight gown, which made her look more mature than she normally was. While Emem was putting on her favorite colour. Her gown was the same with mine, but her's was the colour blue.

"Alright, we're ready. Let's quickly grab the gift, cause we're already late." Emem said in a hurry.

"Uuuuhhhhh, someone can't wait to see her hubby." I teased, which made Emem to rush out of her room. I laughed, as I chased after her. "I was just joking. I meant, it's okay to be fashionable late."

"Eno!" Emem stopped on her track.

Finally.

"Yeah," I tried not to laugh, as she turned to look at me. "What is it?"

"Here," She smirked and gave me the middle finger.

My jaw dropped, as I watched her walk down the stairs.

Well, I guess I deserved that.

"Hey," I felt Sofia's hands on my shoulder. I turned to see her trying to hide her laughter. "Take heart."

On my other side, Shade burst out laughing.

"Just let go," I said, feigning anger.

We got into Dafe's huge mansion, that was packed with crazy hormonal teenagers. Sweaty bodies were dancing to the rhythm of the tekno music.

"I'm gonna go look for Dafe, I'm sure he'd be with his friends!" Emem yelled. The music coming from the speakers, we're just too loud and the only way we could hear each other, was if we all shout.

"Sure, you do that. We'd be around!" I equally yelled, so she could hear me.

Emem pushed her way out of the Sweaty bodies, in search of Dafe.

"This place is packed!" Sofia exclaimed.

"What do you expect, Dafe's popular!" I shrugged.

"And this place is huge! How could his parents let him throw this wild party, with ear deafening music?!" Shade asked, as she scanned the room.

"My Dad would have killed me. Besides, my little brother Larry, would tell on me, if I host this type of party!" Lamented Sofia.

"At least, yours is just your dad." I coughed a little. All this yelling was making my throat sour. "My mum would kill and bury me, while my dad would look for my spirit, and lock it up for eternity."

My phone vibrated in my grip. I looked down to see a message from Emem.

Twin Sis
Come over to the pool at the back of the house. The guys are with me.

- 7 : 05pm

"What is it?!" Sofia asked.

"Emem jus___"

"What?!" Sofia interrupted me. Turns out that she could not figure out what I was saying.

"Come with me!" We asked few maids that were in sight, to show or tell us were the pool was located. We finally got to the back door that was made of glass, and opened it.

The cool night air hit our skin immediately we got out. We walked further into the night, until we arrived at the pool. Seated on a round marble chair, were Felix, Saviour, Emem, Dafe and an unknown guy.

"Hey Dafe," I said, then handed him a wrapped gift. "Happy birthday."

Dafe smiled, then took the box. "Thanks."

"Don't sweat it," I sighed, then sat with the rest of the group. Sofia and Shade took turns in giving Dafe his gift, before joining us on the seat.

"Who are you?" I turned to look at the unknown, yet handsome guy seated in our mist.

"Oh, this is the guy I met in basket ball camp last season. His name is Favour." Dafe introduced.

I tilted my head, to look at him. "Do you live here?"

"No," He said with a straight face. "I live in the main land."

"You don't look rich___"

"Eno, stop it." Shade piped in, before looking at Favour. "Sorry about my friend, she's not as bad as you think."

"Ain't that bad?" Saviour scoffed. "Oh please."

"Shhh," Sofia shushed him immediately, then her eyes scanned the marble round table. "You guys were drinking?"

"You want some?" Felix stretched his hands, to hand Sofia a red party cup.

"We don't drink," I frowned at him. Though I wasn't mad that he was drinking. I was just angry that he didn't call me last night.

Felix eyes finally landed on mine, as his lips began to form a small sincere smile. "You look beautiful tonight, Eno."

"Oh please, you're just having lustful thoughts." I brushed him off.

Felix moved a little towards me. "When a guy calls you hot, he's looking at your body. When a guy calls you pretty, he's looking at your face. When a guy calls you gorgeous, he's looking at your boobs or should I call it asset. But when a guy calls you beautiful, trust me when I say that he's looking at everything."

"Uuuuh," Emem cooed. "When did you get so romantic?"

"He knew all that cause he's a play boy." I tried to hide the smile on my face.

"Not a playboy," Felix said, his eyes still looking at mine. "But a guy who appreciates beauty when he sees one."

This made everyone to coo at us.

"Shut up," I tried to sound intimidating, but my emotions failed me.

"Hey," I heard Favour say to Shade. "What's your name?"

"Folashade," Shade replied shyly.

I tsked, then tapped Favour. "Just call her Shade for short."

Favour nodded, then tried the name, to see how it would sound in his mouth. "Shade."

Shade gave him a small smile.

"Hey hey," Saviour tried getting everyone's attention. "This might be Dafe's party, but I organized it."

I wasn't surprised, Saviour was the school's social prefect for a reason.

"So, I'm going to let us play shots. The one who get wasted first, would be the one to start a game of truth and dare. But since the ladies don't drink, we'd do the drinking for them." Declared Saviour.

I did not opposed to it, cause it sounded fun.

Shots after shots after shots later, Saviour was declared the looser. He was so wasted, that I thought he'd pass out any minute.

"Truth or dare?" Saviour asked me. I knew he was waiting for me to play it safe, so I gave him a small smirk and chose, "Dare."

"I dare you to....." He dragged. It was obvious that he was Hella drunk. "Call yourself a bitch. Stand on the table and yell it out loud."

"Saviour!" Sofia scolded.

"What?" He laughed uncontrollably. "It's just a dare."

I rolled my eyes, and stood on the marble table, then my eyes scanned the small group. "I am a bitch!" I yelled our loud, then looked at Saviour. "Happy?"

Saviour laughed and nodded his head at the same time.

"Felix," I called as I gave him a mischievous smile. "Truth or dare?"

He medicated for a bit, before replying. "Truth."

"What's your biggest secret? I battered my lashes and gave him a huge puppy dog eyes.

"I play the violin," Felix said, before squeezing his eyes shot in embarrassment.

"What?!" Exclaimed Dafe and Saviour.

"Since when?" Dafe asked.

"Since I was a kid," Felix shrugged. "That's my biggest secret. It's just too embarrassing."

Before we could think twice, we all busted into laughter. Including Shade. It was a funny sight, seeing Felix playing the violin.

"Yeah yeah yeah, laugh it off." Felix pouted, which made me laugh even harder.

"Saviour drunkenly held Felix's shoulder. "For a second there, I thought you were going to spill out the bet Dafe and I dared you to do."

"Saviour!" Dafe and Felix yelled at the same time.

"Shut up!" Dafe smacked him at the back of his head.

"But it's true," Saviour whined. "We had a bet with Felix, remember?" He poked the side of Dafe's head. "We told him to let Eno fall in love with him, within a month. And to also have proves. If not, he'd pay us fifty thousand each. Or was it sixty?" Saviour stopped his rambling.

I slowly turned to look at Felix. I felt speechless at that moment, and my chest felt like it had been stabbed. Sofia held my upper arm to keep me in place.

"Eno," Emem called. But her voice seemed far. "Don't do anything rash."

I couldn't believe it. Every single thing, was because of a bet.

I angrily stood up from my seat, then got hold of my handbag. I turned to look at Dafe, "Happy birthday."

I stormed into the house, and found my way out of the building. The tears welled up my eyes, as I approached the gates.

"Eno, please wait." Felix called after me, but I completely ignored him. I tried quickening my pace, but Felix easily got up with me and held my upper arm.

"Let go of me!" I yelled at him, and forcefully pulled off my hands from his grip.

"Eno, I can explain." He tried pleading.

I angrily kept my hands on his chest, and forcefully shoved him back. I tried to control my tears, cause I had a reputation to keep. I never cry in public. "If you think I'm gonna cry cause of you, then you're wrong. Cause I never cry."

"Eno please," Felix moved closer, but I stepped back. When he noticed that I was moving back, he stopped approaching me. "Let me explain."

"Explain what?!" I yelled even louder. "Explain that everything that went on between us, was for some stupid Joke? You've never had any sincere feeling towards me."

"I would have known," I scoffed. "Since we've hated each other for a very long time. People who hate each other, can't just become friends over night." I looked him in the eye, "And to think that I've already fallen for you."

I closed my eyes to calm myself down. "God, I'm so stupid!" I scolded myself. "Everything was a fake, right? Everything including....." I paused, as I felt my heart sink even more. "including the kiss we shared."

I had had enough, so I tried to take my leave. But Felix's hands stopped me again.

"You're right, the feelings I had, was fake." I was dumbfounded, as I stared at him. "But that was when it all started." He completed.

"Eno, I've learnt to love you, and I can't control who I fall for. I'm in love with you, and that's the truth." His voice were so soft, that it made me doubt him even more. "The kiss we shared yesterday, was anything but fake. Eno please, believe me."

"I wish I could," I muttered with tears filled eyes. "Just pretend that everything that happened between us, never happened."

I quickly walked out on him and entered my car. I instructed the designated driver, to quickly drive me back home.

Still in the moving vehicle, I fetched my phone and dialed Emem's number. She answered on the first ring.

"Eno___"

"Emem," I cut her short. "I'm on my way home. But I'll send the driver to come get you girls once you're done with the party."

"Eno," She called again, with a concern voice. "Are you okay?"

Upon hearing those words and the concern that laced around her voice, I poured out what I've tried so hard to lock up. I cried my eyes out and no amount of consoling from Emem, could stop the tears from gushing out.

Those feelings embedded me again, and I hated those feelings. I hated being used by people. First was Alex, then Osas and now Felix. Why wasn't anything going right in my life?

Why do I always feel like.....

A/N - Shit.... What have Saviour done??? :-*
