Chapter 10 "Peter?" Lydia asked with disbelieve. His parents are also surprised, I guess am not the only one that sees him as a saint, I know he will deny the fact and the real truth will come out, but if its just for a second I want them to see him for who he is. "Are you sure" my dad asked, I kept quiet, maybe I said the wrong thing. "Is it true" his mother asked looking his way, the unexpected happened, he laughed, full blown out laugh, that's something I've never seen before, had the situation been different I would've revelled on it "Its true" He said, I heard the gasp from everyone, but I don't think anybody is as shocked as I am. "What" his father barked I cowered "Its one night gone wrong" he said calmly, I looked at Paul, I couldn't read his expression, should I confess?, it will look like a child's play if I do. I watched Peters father came close to him and gave him a resonating slap. I

Chapter 9 "You think Peter is all you paint him out to be" Paul barked at me, I came hear to confront Paul, to tell him  the hideous crime he committed, how Peter told me and how Peter is a better man. "This godliness, this perfect man image you have for Peter, he is the opposite" he said, I thought I will have the upper hand, but he's here telling me things I never knew was possible. "Right I fed you the viagram, who did you thing brought it, he knew because its his expertise" he said, for the very first time am having an image of a very different Peter. "Am the product of Peters handiwork, after all am by nature the little brother that follows his brothers footsteps" I was beyond shocked by the words of Paul, I feel the greatest betrayal. I felt him hold my hand. "Please, let's terminate it, I just got an email yesterday night that I have gotten the scholarship, I will tell my parents tonight, Peter haven't gotten a

Chapter 8 "You're" he said so sure I lost every zeal to argue. "He told you" I said barely above a whisper. "No, I figured" he said and I looked at him inquisitively "when u came yesterday, you instinctly covered your stomach when I opened the door" I never knew I did it "today again you did the same thing" he looked behind me, it made me look too, but no one was there "also Paul was weird when he came home, he looked terrified, even as he tried to hide it, I picked it up" he said with a shrug. "So you're able to pick all that" I said "Yes, and immediately I said the word pregnant, your dementor changed" he said, so I confirmed it for him. "For a guy that have no interest in things, you do notice a lot" I said with a sad chuckle and felt a tears escape my eyes. "Walk with me Tonia" he said, in normal situation I would be happy, euphoria, but now, happiness is a far fetched

Chapter 7 I got Paul's message, am not standing at their door knocking, I hope nobody's home. I watched the door slowly opened "Tonia" Peter said in his ever bored tone, my legs got stock "Is...Paul.... In" I stuttered, even now, even in this situation he still have his effects. "Paul" he called and walked pass me, I guess he's going out, his fingers slightly brushed against my skin sending jolt of tings up my body. "Looks like someone misses me" Paul came out wearing his signature smile, I woke up from my delirium and walked up to him. I turned and watched Peters back as he move further away, the door slowly closed and I heaved a breath, I turned to Paul. Even now I regret what I did with him, not because of the pregnancy, but because I feel nothing for him. "Am pregnant" I dropped it on him like a bombshell, he also deserved to get his heart race up like I did. "What!" He screamed and I fear it reached th

Chapter 6 I made sure to avoid the two brothers, it was easy for Peter since he never cared, but harder for Paul, I regret giving him my number he kept calling, when he figured am avoiding the call he started texting. I never read any of the text since the only one I read was him telling me how he enjoyed me. Disgusting, after our jamb it got easier to avoid Paul, a week later he got the hint and stopped texting, I stopped going to their house I had to lie to Lyd that I've been busy. Though I ignore them I still peek from my window to know if I can see a glimpse of Peter. My only joy is the fact I made my jamb, I learnt from Lydia that the twins passed, am not surprised. "You have been awfully quiet" my mom said getting my attention which was outside watching Peter talking with his father. "I never noticed" I said, truthfully I've been feelings feverish, and sometimes nauseatic, am hoping it will pass with time, I returned my attention to the window but f

Chapter 5 Paul kept me company and I felt sad for him, for even as he's here trying his beat to please me, I use every opportunity I have to look for Peter. "You looking for Peter right" he asked with a moody tone, I felt bad, I still nodded. "Sure, I will take you to him" he said and my face lit up "that's when you're done with your drink" he said, I looked at my drink, realizing I've only took one sip, I decided to gulp it down. "Slowly, else I feel sad that you want to get rid of me" he said, I decided to oblige him by drinking slowly. "Good, let's walk as you drink, for it might be my last good memory with you" he said smiling, I looked at him, he instantly looked more matured, and brighter, maybe I would've fallen for him had I first met him, I smiled and and he return the gesture. "Peter have always get things easily, he never really tried" he said, as we walk slowly "we will soon be si

Chapter 4 "So are you ready for today's challenge" I said, to Peter as we walk home, today is Friday so no lesson till Monday, and we will write our jamb next 2 weeks. "Sure" he said not sounding excited. I used last night to browse all difficult riddles, I know for someone that sees nothing as challenge he wouldn't want to loss at anything, so making him crack his brain to answer my riddles will be challenging. "What goes up and never comes down" I asked, he giigled "Riddles, seriously" he said looking at me, I nodded vehemently "Age" he answered, it shocked me, if not for the fact I researched it I wouldn't have answered it, at least not this fast. "Am second in heaven, first on earth, middle of the sea, appear twice a week, once a yea and never in a month" I asked, he looked at me, I can decipher what his thinking "Letter E" he answered, its not even a challenge. I kept on with the riddle and h

Chapter 3 My relationship with Lydia's family got deeper, our family now considered family friend I spend my time there, luckily I started my jamb lesson, peter and Paul also goes to the same study center. Paul is really a charmer but not enough to charm me, though he keeps trying, I learnt he persuaded his Peter to write a scholarship exam, if they get it that means they will travel overseas to study. As I got closer to them I learnt more about Peter, even Paul says its as if he's from another world, not really interest him, his like a whole mystery and the fact invite me the more. "So your brother left already" I asked Paul as we walk home together, "Yea, am sure he will be home by now" he answered, he leave before us every day, and when I get home he will still not be there, he leaves home immediately he reaches. "His really mysterious" I said absentmindedly, I heard him scoff. "You really a pretty girl don't waste your time on hi
