SAVAGE SEVENTEEN (welcome to the world of teens)Updated at Sep 14, 2024, 02:24
“How dare you!!” Kamsy yelled and gave him a thunderous slap, everyone watching the drama unfold gasped. He was shocked. With that, Kamsy walked away. Dabere went over to Jake who was still on knees in shock. “Jake, I'm sure you've heard about your scheme mates. I may seem quiet but I am violent……Stay away from my sister. I'm warning you” Dabere growled about him.**Prologue**In the bustling heart of Lagos, Nigeria, where luxury cars prowled streets that sparkled with the promises of opportunity, stood a towering symbol of prestige and privilege—Pink Orchid Senior High, better known as POSH. Not a single brick or blade of grass within its gates was out of place. Everything was immaculate, as it should be for the children of Nigeria’s wealthiest and most influential. POSH wasn’t just a school. It was a legacy—a training ground for future billionaires, politicians, and cultural icons. The air within its halls smelled of expensive cologne, with students sporting designer uniforms, each one as unique as the wearer. Even the teachers, handpicked from around the globe, were as polished as the crystal chandeliers in the school’s grand foyer. But beneath all the gleam and sheen, secrets danced in the shadows. Here, wealth was a double-edged sword, and for the students of POSH, everything came with a price.Among them were the infamous Ezemmuoka twins, Kamsy and Dabere, the only identical twins to ever grace POSH’s roster. They were a living paradox—two halves of the same whole, yet as different as night and day.Kamsy, with her infectious laugh and electric presence, was the girl everyone wanted to be—or be close to. She had a confidence that could stop traffic and a wardrobe that left jaws dropping. The whispers about her—good, bad, and everything in between—circulated daily. She was the queen of the spotlight, relishing every moment in it.Dabere, on the other hand, was the quiet twin. Her silence was not born of shyness but of choice. While Kamsy thrived on the attention, Dabere preferred to watch from the sidelines, her dark eyes keenly observing everything that went on around him. Where Kamsy would leap without looking, Dabere would calculate every move before taking a single step.And it was their differences that made them the talk of the school. “Can you imagine being that rich and still humble?” one student would whisper, gesturing toward Dabere as she strolled through the halls with her usual calm, composed air.“I hear Kamsy’s planning another party at their estate. Invites only!” another would exclaim, already calculating how to secure a coveted invitation.Despite their differences, the twins shared an unbreakable bond, one forged not by the glitz and glamour of their world but by something far deeper. Beneath the layers of privilege, they were each other’s anchor. It was a bond no one else could understand, much less touch.***The first day of a new school term always brought with it a mix of excitement and dread. The gates of POSH swung open, and a fresh wave of luxury vehicles cruised into the parking lot, depositing their designer-clad passengers. It was a grand parade of the elite, where fortunes mingled and silent rivalries simmered.Kamsy stepped out of their sleek black BMW, her long braids swinging behind her like a statement. As usual, her arrival caused a ripple of attention. She flashed a smile at a group of students huddled nearby, some of whom could only dream of being in her orbit.“Heyyy, girl!” a voice called from across the lot. Kamsy turned, spotting her friend, Yinka, strutting toward her in a pair of limited-edition Prada sneakers. Kamsy grinned and met her with a quick hug.“Missed you!” Yinka said, eyes twinkling behind her oversized shades. “Are you ready for this term? I’m hearing some wild stuff already.”Kamsy smirked. “I was born ready, babe. Let’s make it unforgettable.”Meanwhile, Dabere had already slipped into the background, unnoticed by most, but that was exactly how she liked it. He had no interest in the theatrics that surrounded her sister, though she admired the way she commanded attention with such ease. Her focus, as always, was elsewhere—on the quiet undercurrents, the things others didn’t see.As they walked toward the grand entrance of the school, the familiar sound of heels clicking against marble floors filled the air, mingling with the low hum of conversation. Kamsy and Yinka strolled through like they owned the place, with Dabere trailing a few steps behind. She wasn’t antisocial, just… deliberate.Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting soft reflections on the polished floors. The walls were adorned with photographs of previous graduating classes—each framed in gold, each face marked by the confidence that came with being a POSH alumnus.“Hey, Dabere!” a voice called from behind.He turned to see Chloe, her only real friend at POSH, jogging up to him. Chloe was one of the few friends Dabere had in school POSH academy.
