Relentless Love

III

3

She is Folakemi Dokubo. Last child of Obafemi Dokubo, CEO of Dokubo group of companies and ex governor of Ogun state.

She is BlueBlood's top student having scored the highest GPA of 4.92 in the history of the school. So

rich, beautiful, intelligent and charismatic, think it's safe to say that she's the most popular girl in school and yes you guessed right, she's got a whole lot of wannabes flocking around her, one thing though was that she's a bit rude(OK she's friggin rude) and this kinda seemed to put the guys trying to woo her at bay. One time she almost had her dad terminate Josh's dad contract with the government just because Josh had offered that they hang out in the school's cinema. Pretty extreme I know.

Rumors were that she wasn't always the ice queen of BlueBlood,that she was actually easy going and very polite and very much in love with the proprietor's son, Henry. They were couple goals for everyone even their families had become close because of their relationship but along the line Henry got a full scholarship to study in Harvard and also an option to.. go pro in the NBA and so he decided that they breakup but Folakemi wouldn't hear it, she had even offered to go with him that she was even tired of Nigeria and that her dad's jet was at their disposal but Henry refused. He even said that he wasn't sure of the relationship anymore as he was beginning to fall out of love with her. This broke Fola's heart and since then she's been very careful of the people she let into her life, but now she isn't sure she can still hold up her walls anymore,not with the new rebellious, enigmatic Dibz around. She just can't explain what she feels whenever she sees him. Its a feeling so strange yet so pleasantly intoxicating and even though they haven't said a word to each other before, she feels like they have this telepathic connection,that they could be able to mend each other's walls of insecurity.

Dibz POV

It was Monday again, the start of another week in this hellish school and I'm this close to loosing my cool. I mean living without the liberty of doing what you want is freaking annoying. All this ran through my mind as I strolled to my first class of the day, I was rather early cause I had skipped breakfast and wasnt really in the mood to eat anything...I just wanted to LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!

As expected, the hall was empty as I had wanted so I just went to my seat and bent my head reflecting. I hadn't even settled well into the comfort of my newly found solitude when I heard the loud steps probably caused by a pair of loubotin or Jimmy Choo heels entering the hall. I kept my head down deciding to just mind my business and try to go back to my thoughts before the intruder started unpacking her stuff rather loudly. A few minutes had gone by and the intruder was still doing whatever he/she was doing, loudly too. I tried, Lord knows I tried to ignore but it just kept becoming worse and so I did the only thing I could do to avoid issues. I stood up to leave and just as I raised my head up, my eyes landed on her, the mystery girl that had haunted my dreams for quite some time now. She gasped as she saw me probably out of shock as I'm sure she didn't know she wasn't alone in the hall and just then my eyes landed on her parted enticing glossed lips and I swear I fell in love right now and there. Realising that I had been staring, I quickly masked my face with a blank expression and walked out like I didn't see anybody and even added a bounce to my steps.

"Damn she's beautiful", I whispered to myself as I stood on the steps leading to the entrance of the basketball court.

"You're so stupid Dibz, so stupid. Just a simple hello or hey would have been a nice way to start up a convo with her, but no, you just had to be a complete douche and walk away, chicken", I chastised myself hitting my head with my hands.

Lord knows I never planned for this to happen and now I'm hook ,line and sinker deep in with this girl and the worst part is I don't think I even have a chance with her, I mean look at her she's a goddess and me well I'm just me. I think it's better I just keep off her path and mind my business, that way I'm sure of not going through the pain of rejection. With this conclusion, I decided to block all thoughts of Folakemi outta my mind but you guessed right.....I just couldn't.

Fola's POV

Throughout today, I couldn't concentrate on lectures, nothing was just entering my head. All attempts to pay attention proved futile as I seemed to always steal glances at the human enigma seated at the last row of the hall. This morning he didn't even acknowledge me or even said a simple 'hi' and trust me that really hurt.

I'm used to being hit on by guys, men and even girls at times (lol sue me..I'm that beautiful), but Dibz doesn't seem to be moved my beauty even for a bit, maybe he's heard some rumors about me but that hasn't seemed to stop anyone from hitting on me though

Just what is it about this guy that pulls me in...God I'm hopeless.

'Maybe he's gay', I thought, cause that was the only logical reason to why he doesn't notice me and come to think of it, I haven't really seen him socialize with any girl before except his sister, maybe he's misogynistic.

"Miss Dokubo can you please tell us what you think about EPS?", the AAT lecturer asked me. Obviously he had noticed my lack of interest in his lecture and had decided to ask me a question to maybe punish me? I don't really know. I stood up to answer but I knew I didn't know the answer so I just apologized. Feeling so embarrassed, I sat down and tried to pay more attention but I had this feeling of someone watching me and I decided to check and that's when I locked eyes with him and I noticed his lips twitch upwards in form of a smile and boy did he have a nice smile. My knees turned to jelly and I had to hold on tight to my seat to avoid falling off my seat. I turned around and once again I lost interest in the lecture as I couldn't get over the fact that he just smiled at me..wow.

"Geez Dibz, what are you doing to me?", I whispered quietly to myself and that was the highlight of my week as there wasn't even the slightest tinge of communication between us again for the rest of that week.
