In the world I lived in, love was just a word♥️

My wake up alarm just rang,had no option but to woke up even though my body was sore from yesterday's training and my brother was really throwing mean punches. I left my room and went downstairs caring my school bag and headphones. "There she is", said my brother as l sit down joining him and dad in the dining. I rolled my eyes and greeted my dad."Amandla, nothing changed here. You will continue to see the buildings, birds, and the people. You just have to focus in your school work and you",said my dad standing up with his car keys. I am sure his going to make money as usually. I was left with my annoying brother. He just threw me my car keys saying he will see me after school. I wiped my streaming tear quickly and picked my car keys and headphones.I was hurt but used to it now that when it comes to me my opinion do not matter only his "Mr Lee". I told my dad several times that I don't want to transfer but it was like I was talking alone and here I was going exactly to the same school I said I hate. I arrived at Shining Amour Private before 7:30 am. All thanks to my driving skills. I was now at parking area and some other students were still looking at my car, don't know whether its because am new here or it was the car, since I was driving a black 2020 new series Range Rover. I took five to ten minutes mastering up my courage and making sure that I am alright. Lastly I did a short prayer and opened my door. Some students who were far away from where I was went "wow its a girl". Still astonished by there reaction. A chain of BMW cars came and parked next to me and immediately I was surrounded by tall, intimidating and handsome guyz but I wasn't terrified. The whole advanced level students were now surrounding us. I assumed it was them because of their uniform that was the same as mine. The BMW guys were giving me death stares and I was returning it also. The other guy asked what was my car doing in their parking space,was about to answer him when the school siren rang and everyone ran to what seemed like an arena. I lazily followed them. After the headmaster speech and welcoming remarks the senior teacher asked for the new comers to remain behind whilst other students went to there classes. Someone tapped me and said, "Welcome to the jungle". Lifting up my head was met by my crazy, annoying twin brother Hope. I was surprised because I didn't know that I was going to attend the same school as him. I know its obscured not knowing your brother school but in our world nothing matters only money and business theres no time for pep talks. We entered the class and the senior teacher introduced me after all of that was told to take my sit. I sitted next to a guy who just gave me an intimidating look and continued doing whatever he was doing. I took my physics text books and laptop out. I started reading.... Yeah l know I am a bookworm. I continued with my reading until the Brian guy closed my laptop and removed my headphones. I heard this other girl calling him Brian when I was taking out my books. I gave him a bored look and he said, "Its breaktime dude". I mouthed " ohh" and packed my books. "Brian", someone shouted. I looked back and I was met by that group of BMW cars. One of them said, seem like I like him and his friends because am always where there are. I didn't say anything and we just parted wjth them taking Brian away from me. Going to my car I overheard other bitches saying I was lucky because Tk wasn't there, otherwise the blood was going to spill. That catched my attention and I kept on asking my self who was that Tk. After school I took my school bag and went to my car. Indeed the school was beautiful but the people in it were beautiful outside only as their uniforms, hairstyle, phones, school bags and cars screamed, "Money! Money! "There smiles, stares and voices were different from where l came from. They screamed fake and dangerous. I felt it that I was in a new world indeed. Weeks passed nothing was new both at home and school just everyday routine. Yesterday I asked Hope who was Tk and why was he feared at school but he just ignored me like he always does. Okay our relationship me, dad and Hope is different from other families as we don't talk about anything only business, school and money. I am an 18year old who owns companys and who have killed a human being. Even though I used to hate this life as time goes on I ended up accepting it and had no choice with my dad reminding me everyday that am old and I have to stand up for myself and see the world we live in and that its different from that of my mom. My mother was the loving person. Who made me to believe that love exists. Even though my dad made sure that he crushes that mind and thoughts of mine of seeing the world as a peaceful place. Mother made sure that she protects me with everything in her to hide me from my father's world....I vividly remember how furious she was when she found my dad teaching me how to use a g*n. She took me to a boarding school whilst Hope remained with my dad. Boarding school showed me a different world where love did exist, where people took care of each other and knew how to respect and apologise without using violence. Boarding school tried to change me and make me a human being but I have already been taught that the world is a cruel place and nothing is called love at home. It took me a long time to adapt in the world where love was existing and as I was seeing my mother's efforts working. Then boom my mother died and all her efforts went in vain as the pain changed me and made me monster again. I was loosing it and instead of my father to comfort me or to take me to a shrink he took me to a killing spin. I started to hate every human being except of my dad and Hope. Hope became worse and the gape between us increased. School was school,still had no friends only Brian whom we could greet each or do assignments together mayb once in two weeks. I haven't met the mighty Tk and his so called enemy whom people fear. Whom I don't even know his name. Since I started schooling I only met Hope once that day when he was saying welcoming to the jungle since there I haven't met him.I have started doubting that we are going to the same school. The funny thing is that I saw him everyday early in the morning wearing SAP uniform. I woke up tired but had no option but to bath and go to school. I arrived at school and went straight to where I sit after some minutes I dozed off. I woke up to Brian staring at me. "What?", i asked him annoyed. "Nothing, just that you look innocent when sleeping".He said now focused on his phone. "flirting? Doesn't work on me". I replied him and closed my eyes again. He chuckled and said, "You see the reason why I said you are innocent while you asleep? Back to your question am not attracted to short and rude girls, dude". "Whatever dude! But please don't disturb me when am sleeping". I shot back to him. He laughed and said, "l like you when you asleep so trust me I won't disturb you". I asked him whats his choice on girls and he started telling me about his ex girlfriends and that he doesn't believe in love. That if he likes someone so much he doesn't date them because he can't offer them anything but pain. We really did get to know each and I met his funny side. I was still laughing Brian's jokes when this other girl budged in our class crying don't know whether she is our class mate or what still surprised by that, a tall, mascular, yellow and handsome guy entered our class. All the girls who were screaming, laughing and shouting became quite immediately the class was in order. The other BMW guyz followed after the that tall one whom I now know he is Tk. They all gathered where there was that weeping girl. As I was still staring at the hunks who where in our class my phone rang and it was Hope and he just said to me I have to go home my dad needs me. I picked my school bag and went to the car parking area.I drove home with questions in my head cause the truth is I wanted to know what was the story about that girl and the mighty Teekay. I reached home and changed into my adidas tracksuit. I went to the warehouse where I practised shooting and fighting. After practise I went back home and changed. Then I drove to the restaurant to check things there after l went to the boutique and mortuary. Everything was in place. I arrived home and went to the study room where I found Hope busy with his books also. "Stay away from those BMW guys",Hope said. I looked up at him and asked him why. "Because I said so", he replied without even looking at me. "Wow... Okayyy I heard you Mr Lee Junior", I said to him and picked up my books and went to sleep. From his reply I knew it that there is something fish about those guys but again just thought that maybe its him protecting his twin sister and shoved it at the back of my mind. My relationship with Hope was still rocky. I right now I didn't give a f**k was tired of Hope and his moods, one morning he is happy the other one he is mute. I was walking with Brain when I saw Hope sitting with a group of boys. Brian's face immediately turned red but I just acted as if I didn't see anything. We continued walking and I was now taIking alone. Brain I called him. He just looked up at me and kept quite. "Hope you know am not dump bruh,so start talking am waiting". I said to him with a straight face. I have realised that he have got a soft spot for me and I was going to use him to understand the BMW guys. "In this school everyone is dangerous, don't trust anyone. Students are killing each other. We are in a jungle dude." He kept quite for a moment and continued "Am not worried about you though, because my guts are telling me you are more dangerous..." he said.I had to act fast. "Dude, me? Dangerous? I am rude and I have got smart mouth only nothing more." I said faking to laugh my lungs out. He kept on asking that will I ever keep quite. "You know how to make them jokes neh".I said to him. Arriving home was met by Hope's angry face. "Whats up with the sour face, halfie?" I asked passing him." You are now screwing Brian kim."He asked." I want to know why are you angry Hope Lee!? Thats what I want to know". I said with an angry voice. "Answer me first", he shouted and I knew it won't end well."Goodnight Hope!" I shouted and went to my room. Hope was starting to irritate me. I woke up down and for the first time after moving in with my dad I prayed. After that I drove to school. I put on my headphones and took out my laptop. I started walking to the class my mind was far away. I was missing my mom. I bumped into someone and thank heavens he hold me otherwise was going to be the topic today at school. "f**k", he said with a harsh voice. I looked up with an annoyed face and said, "Not today Devil! "He was about to say something when our eyes locked. Immediately he kept quite. I on the other hand was intimidated as soon as l realised that it was Teekay but immediately I mastered up my courage. We maintained eye contact. Until someone tapped my shoulder and l looked around and people were now surrounding us. The other group of guys that I don't know and the BMW guys. Hope pushed himself ignoring people. Finally he reached where we were me and Tk. "Touch her keith! You will see me". After saying those words Hope dragged me out. Everyone went "Who is she?" Thank God we ain't identical me and Hope unless if you have stayed with us for a long time. Otherwise the students we going to realise that we are twins and it was going to cause chaos. I wasn't on Internet so no one was going to google and find an information about me. Today Hope was driving me home and he wasn't saying anything to me. He was just giving me blank stares there and there. I didn't know what he was thinking and I wasn't planning to find out either. It was good that way. "Go to your room, you will study from home from now onwards". He said. I was shocked by his words but quickly I shoot back"Today... Yeah but tomorrow nop am going to school twin. I am not asking you but I am telling you. Thats my life after all. Dearest dad taught me to face my fears so yeah". I said that maintaining eye contact. I saw it from his eyes that he was shocked and left him at the garage and went to my room. I started searching keith on google but l found nothing, searched Brian kim again nothing and from there I put one and one. That there are also gangsters, if not something is up though. I tossed the whole night thinking about Hope's face when he was talking to Teekay and the one that Teekay was returning. Something big was real cooking between those two. Exams were the only thing stopping me from going detective on them. I did my daily routine and went to the garage and thank God my car was there. Anything was possible with Hope so eyy. I drove to school and I met Brian going to the class and we greeted each other. After that we kept quite and continued walking until we reached our class. "I knew that you were dangerous", he said and I ignored him. He continued and said, "who are you? Whats the deal between Hope, Keith and you?"I bited my lip and said," lets just say I am caught in a love triangle ". He laughed hard and said," If you were involved with other guys yes was going to agree with you but not those two monsters dude, love doesn't exist in there world."" Then I don't know what they want from me". I said that looking at my emails. "I WANT YOU", a bold voice said. I looked up and there he was in his school uniform and with his hands deep in his pockets. He fistbumped with Brian and I knew it that they were from the same crew, so was trading with the enemy. "Staring is rude you know", he said disturbing me from my thoughts. "You are right let me take you a picture". I said that taking out my iphone 12 and took him few snaps. He mouthed "wow" am sure he was astonished by my response and reaction to his statement. "Everyone out!" he shouted. My classmates started moving out. I remained sitted not even shifted by his request. He told Brian to guard the door. Thats were I become unsettled. " Now Frightened, Power?" I just gave him a bored look. And him translating my name was the other thing that took me by surprise. "So why are you here?" I asked him calmly and standing up giving him my back. "You... You are the reason, who are you? why are you so calm and collected? whilst you are in the same room with me." he said. I laughed at him and said, "Those are the questions I want to know also about you." He smiled and said, "Feisty huh? Innocent, cute and rude in one person." He said the word innocent and cute as if he was admiring me. I rolled my eyes at him. Immediately he at my face suffocating me with his cologne and mascular body. "Roll those eyes again, you will see your ancestors within a blink of an eye."He said that still at my face."" You are suffocating me dude", I said that pushing him and he moved a little bit. "Feeling the heat Power?" he said that smirking. "Nop I don't do boys", I said that moving away from him and Hope flew in. They were in each others throats within blink of an eye. The other guys throw themselves in and tried separating them. It was chaos. Until I acted as if I fainted. Keith rushed to me and started feeling my temperature. Hope just stood there and said, "stop your games Amandla". In our own world there are no hugs. There is no love also.
