C6 Voice of an angel

"look at youuu, baby girl. You're glowing! Oporrr. You've forgotten me abi?" I laughed, moving on my bed as I tried to find a comfortable position. I laid on my belly and put my phone in front of me,ontop of one of my pillows.

"Yes you have! If I didn't call you, you wouldn't have remembered to call me. You've made new friends abi? You con forget about your Day one." She pouted.

"Exactly!" I smiled. "You're my day one, it's not possible to forget about you just like that. I was going to call you anyway"

"Mhm!" Aarin sent me a funny look that made me laugh again.

"I'm being honest," I said. "We've been really busy these past few days. Trying to move in things, clean things, and then me preparing for school. It's been a busy week babe."

"Oh yes! How's your new school like. I already know your house is a banger." I chuckled.

"How's the new school like? Gist me."

"Well, it's big, and much more modernized than Pearls High," I started. Riri hummed, a smile on her face as she picked up a pillow and hugged it to her chest.

"And the people are really nice. I made friends on my first day. They're really approachable and not as stuck up as I'd imagined they'd be. Well, some of them are but 90 percent of them are cool."

"Of course you'd make friends on your first day. You're a social butterfly, Nifemi. Outgoing and so nice to everyone around you." I cooed at her compliment, my cheeks already hurting from smiling so much.

"So," She waggled her eyebrows at me. " Any cute boys my girl is interested in?" I cracked up with laughter.

"Silly girl."

"So no cute boys? I would swear there are plenty in that school of yours. Imagine it. Good looking and stinky rich. Gawd! babe, you've hit jackpot!" She dragged the last letter of jackpot, shaking her body from behind the screen. I continued to laugh, amused by her words.

"Yes, there are cute guys, but meh." I shrugged.

"Meh kini? Why are you mehing? Are you a goat?" I choked on my laughter _this child!_

"My friend! you better start mingling. You have to get yourself a boyfriend this year

. It's a must!" I rolled my eyes at her .

That was the specific thing I was planning to avoid.

No boys!

Riri and I talked for almost an hour and a half, until her mother called for her and we decided to cut the conversation short. She blew a kiss at me and threatened to haunt me in my dreams if I didn't text her every hour every day. I giggled and sent her a mock salute before hitting the hang up button. With a happy sigh,I rolled over on my bed and hugged a pillow to my chest. I smiled at nothing in particular then slowly shut my eyes.

I fell asleep five minutes later.

Its been two weeks since I joined DLC and I would say it has been the best. The teachers loved me, and so did some other people. I occasionally got glares and jealous outbursts from some girls in my class and I always wondered what the hell crawled up their ass and died.

🎶Bad energy stay far away 🎶

I couldn't care less what they thought of me, honestly. Mother always said you can't possibly please everyone, and whoever tried to please everyone would end up going mad, or probably is already mad.

I ignored Denise and her crew's hateful looks as I sat on a random desk in the front with my new friends sitting around me. It was a Thursday afternoon and we had two free periods in a row. We started with a random 'would you rather' game then moved to 'what song can femmy sing' game after I announced I used to sing in my old school.

"Pick an artist.

," I said to them.

"Cat burns."

"Ariana grande."

"Alessia Cara."

Beautiful choices. I thought to myself. Honestly hard for me to pick.

I exhaled, biting my lower lip in thought. I shrugged then sat up, crossing my legs.

"I guess I'd go with Cat burns. "

***ANDREI D'angelis***

"I swear to Gawd, she's annoying as fuck."

Chidera and I walked down the flight of stairs towards our classroom as I complained to him about the girl he'd pleaded with me to tutor.

"She's always looking for ways to touch me and she barely even listens when I try to teach her. Honestly man, I'm done." Chidera frowned looking deep in thought.

"She doesn't seem like that kind of person. I mean, she looked pretty determined when she told me she wanted to do better in math." He told me. I scoffed, as we made a turn to the right walking in slow strides down the hallway and passing by noisy classrooms.

Don't those lousy kids have teachers in there with them? See the way they're shouting like they're in a market place.

"She's a damn well fucking great actress. She was just trying to get close to me, Chidera. She didn't look like she gave a shit about the subject."

"Well damn." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Tell her I'm no longer interested in tutoring her and she should stay the fuck away from me." I turned to him with a sharp gaze. Chidera made a funny face at me then nodded. As we got closer to our classroom, the voices were getting pretty coherent.

Voices, but just one was dominating it.

Someone was singing.

My eyebrows rose high and my feets quickened it's pace for some reason. Chidera followed behind me equally curious and confused.

🎶Look at what you've done

Said you'd never do

You fucked it for yourself,

This is the end of me and you ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.🎶

I pushed the door open just in time to see who the voice belonged to. I couldn't see her face clearly because so many people were surrounding her,but I knew right away who it was. I recognized her braids right away and could see very little her face from a small space between two of my classmates.

She paused, then picked up in a soft, melodic, slow , almost angelic tone. I stared at her through the tiny space and watched as she tilted her head in an attractive angle and how her lips moved.

🎶 So don't call this number anymore

Cos I won't be there for you like I was before

I should've listened to my friends

They always knew the best,

They said you were just like all the rest.

I'll say it loud and clear in case you don't already know 🎶

She paused again, then with a wave of the hand and a playful exterior. She basically said the next words rather than singing it.

🎶Pack up your shit and go🎶

"Well damn!" I jumped back, startled, as my best friend blurted out rather loudly. All eyes turned to us, including hers. I tried to keep my face impassive as Nifemi stared at me longer than I liked, then her gaze moved to my best friend.

The the most breathtaking smile appeared on her face.

"That was mad! Gawd. You're an amazing singer, Femmy." Chidera cheered. Nifemi chuckled softly and thanked him.

"You're full of surprises girl." A guy grinned at her saying.

Indeed she was.
