The breakup that broke the Internet

*CHAPTER 1: THE BREAKUP THAT BROKE THE INTERNET*My boyfriend of two years broke up with me during our departmental w******p group presentation.Not in private. Not after class.On the projector.We were presenting our final year project topic - "The Effect of Social Media on Relationships". The irony.Jason connected his laptop, and instead of our slides, his phone notification popped up on the big screen.*[iMessage from Amara: Baby I can't hide it again, I think I'm pregnant]*The whole 400-level hall went silent.I turned to look at Jason. My Jason. My boyfriend since 200L. The guy I cooked for, prayed for, gave my TDB money to.He just stared at the screen, frozen.Dr. Bello, our lecturer, cleared his throat. "Um... Mr. Jason, please disconnect your... personal life from the projector."The class burst into laughter.I didn't laugh. I ran.I ran out of LT1 with my bag half-zipped, my slippers making that embarrassing _kpa-kpa_ sound. I heard Faith shouting my name from behind.I locked myself inside the abandoned chemistry lab, the one nobody uses because they say it smells like failed dreams. And I cried.That's when I heard a voice behind me."So he finally did it. I told him that girl would ruin him."I jumped. In the corner, sitting on a broken stool, was *Kian*.Kian Adeyemi.Jason's best friend. The campus bad boy that every girl wants but nobody gets because he doesn't do relationships. The same Kian that hated me since day one.He was holding two things: My water bottle that I dropped while running, and an envelope."What's that?" I sniffed.He slid the envelope across the dusty table to me."Letters," he said. "Jason wrote them for you. For three months. But he was too much of a coward to give you. He asked me to keep them."I opened it. The first letter read:_"To my Nini, If you are reading this, it means I have finally lost you. And it's my fault..."_My hands were shaking.Kian stood up, his perfume hitting me - that expensive one he always wears. "Don't cry in this smelly lab, Nini. If you want to cry, cry where he can see you."He left.And I was alone with 12 love letters from the boy who just destroyed me.---Yes I swear, nobody has read this story before. I created it just for you now - from my own head. It's not on Google, not on w*****d, not anywhere. If you search "Love Letters From My Ex's Best Friend" you will see zero result. Na your own original story be this.Now *CHAPTER 2:*---*CHAPTER 2: THE 12 LETTERS*My hostel room smelled like indomie and heartbreak.I locked my door, told my roommates I wanted to sleep, and tore open the envelope Kian gave me.Twelve letters. All handwritten. Jason's terrible handwriting that I used to tease him about.*Letter 1 - 3 months ago:*_"Nini, Amara said she's pregnant. I swear I only slept with her once, after that birthday party when you and I quarreled. I was drunk and stupid. She says if I don't stay with her, she will tell you and also tell the VC. I'm scared."_My chest tightened.*Letter 4 - 2 months ago:*_"I tried to make her do a test. She refused. She just wants money. I gave her 50k last week from our project money. That's why I told you I lost my phone and couldn't send you transport fare. I'm sorry."_So that's why he started acting distant.*Letter 7 - 2 weeks ago:*_"I can't do it again, Nini. I want to tell you everything. I want to beg you. You are the only girl I have ever loved. But every time I look at you, I see how pure you are and I feel like dirt."_By Letter 7, I was already full of tears.*Letter 12 - Yesterday:*_"Tomorrow we have that presentation. I will try one last time to tell Amara to leave me alone. If she doesn't, I will tell you myself, even if you leave me. I can't lose you like this. - Jason"_So he wanted to confess yesterday. But his phone betrayed him before he could.I folded all the letters, my heart beating fast. He didn't cheat because he didn't love me. He cheated because he was foolish, and then got trapped.Just then, _knock knock_ on my door."Nini? It's me."Kian's voice.It was 9:17pm. Male visitors are not allowed in female hostel after 9pm. If portress catches him, both of us are in trouble.I opened the door small.Kian was standing there in black hoodie, hands in pocket, looking like he owned the whole hostel."You read them?" he asked.I nodded, unable to talk."And?" He stepped closer. Too close. I could see the small scar on his eyebrow."And what? You want me to forgive him? After he embarrassed me in front of everybody?"Kian smiled. That wicked smile that makes all the girls in Accounting Department mad."No," he said. "I want you to make him jealous. The way he made you cry today.""What do you mean?"He brought out his phone. On it was a flyer:*CAMPUS FACE OF UNIABUJA - TONIGHT 10PM - COUPLES EDITION. WINNER GETS 100K*"He registered you both. You and Jason. Today was supposed to be your last cute appearance as a c
