Chapter 1 - BOOK 1: THE GENESIS

Genesis,

The beginning of the Bible, the beginning of life, and the beginning of everything that was created... But in this chapter, it's the Beginning of my Love life~ Or will I say, something I considered to be love. The word "Love" something magical to the soul and at the same time, disastrous to the heart.

***** MICHEAL'S POV *****

Wake Up, Brush your Teeth, Take your bath, Have breakfast, then off you go>>> To school, the normal life of a student every morning. But my case was different or would I say Unique in a way… ummm whatever. In my own case I'd say 'Twas Wake up by 6:00 am, wondering while it still feels like 3:00am, sleep back till it's 7:00am, wake up again.. then rush into the bathroom where I'd use less than 3 minutes to bath. Sound funny right? Lol. Hurriedly, I'd eat breakfast and sonic speed myself into the school premises. But today was totally different and Annoying.

"Micheal… Micheal…", Gabriel my twin softly said while tapping me…. "Wake up" it's 6 am already. I was slightly awake yet Annoyed and Tired I managed to mutter _ I've heard you.

With my eyes still shut and my two hands spread wide in the air as I was stretching out sleep from those eyeballs of mine.

Gabriel with his dark eyes stared at me in disgust>> Lazy human being he said, as I looked at him in disbelief and anger….. Stop waking me up this way, it's still too early plus it's it's not up to 7am yet…. With the the after sleep effect in my body system, I still managed to stand up and Pick up my towel from my wardrobe which I tied round my waist while walking down to the bathroom.

We were both ready for school, I wore my white shirt in my aux blood blazer with my combed afro and my Black corporate shoe, I then walked into school alongside my siblings. I usually walked to school due to the fact that my school wasn't distant from my house.

….Michael!!!! My name was sounded out loud as I turned to locate where my name was screamed from, 'Twas the headmistress of Springflowers International School 'Mrs Olivia'.. Obviously my headmistress. Uhhhhv… I released a sigh because I knew what's coming next. "To my Office Immediately" she said, I had to leave my siblings as they went to their classrooms.

******IN MRS OLIVIA'S VOICE********

Micheal, You're the Vice Student president and also a pioneer student of this institution and all this doesn't matter to you????? Why'd you be coming into the school premises when it's almost Time for your first lecture??? Ain't you aware that the other students look up to you???

She said all these stuffs but I, Micheal didn't bluff or say anything. All those words were just swimming from my ears to thin air, all I was just waiting for was to get into my classroom, and as usual Mrs Olivia finished the whole ranting and I was about to leave her office when I heard a knock on her door *dum dum dum* Excuse me ma, can I come in? A very gentle and calm voice said. It was obviously the voice of a girl, I gently turned to behold a nice looking, dark skinned girl~ her aura alone was something else, posture and her slim body shape was just something to gaze at, and I did gaze… "I've not seen any one that this uniform fits so well" I said in my thoughts. And that was when Mrs Olivia dismissed me. I was pained though fact being that I wasn't able to glance very well… I walked past her avoiding eye contact and something nice just passed my nose like breeze. ''Twas her perfume and it was so nice that I paused a second to steal a glance. Then something in me said "Bro will you go to class already???" I chuckled inaudible and I finally left for class.

*****WALKING INTO THE CLASSROOM*****

My Class, despite being the seniors of the school were something else, fact being that we used most of our free time to make music and that first class was a free period. I gently walked in to the classroom to meet Spencer the nerd of the class; dark skinned, short, he had nice but funny hairline, he was a fresh dude tho…

He was singing, and hearing Spencer sing was funny because he didn't have a nice voice but it was manageable… Pheeeewwww, I sighed as I noticed ''twas him singing… He didn't really sound bad though, he just couldn't follow key and he loves going off beat- thhh ''twas that bad, unfortunately I loved the song he was singing, I quietly hummed the song but somehow I joined the chorus, Lol

I couldn't resist because I really loved that song. And that was when everyone started singing along.. I loved my classmates because I loved making music, and somehow…. They all loved music too. And that was how the whole class went up chorusing

"Little did you know, how I'm breaking while you fall asleep, I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight"…

In the midst of the melody, A tall figure with rough hair, and big eyeballs with glasses supporting it on his nose > walked in. Immediately the whole music stopped like everyone were given a particular second to stop.

The tall figure was Mr Eben, the Chemistry teacher…. He was so reserved and calm, he didn't even flinch…. He just walked straight to the marker board and wrote "CHEMISTRY" a very funny letter y tho~

I picked up My Literature textbook from my bag, stood up and left the class… Yhh I left the class because I didn't offer chemistry as a course. Sounds weird right?? I was the only art student in my set and I had a classroom to myself.

I walked out of the classroom strolling down to my own class, and I saw her again… This time my heart skipped and I nearly tripped, I gulped down my saliva. She was so beautiful, dark skinned, smooth lips, her hair was done, and she had a little dimple too…. She smiled and for a second, I thought she was smiling at someone behind~ I quickly turned back and didn't see no one, that was when it dawned on me that I was actually the one she smiled at.

But the smile came with a price…. She walked up to me and she voiced out "Please can you direct me to where the Senior Class 1 is??? for a sec I felt like she maybe made a mistake and then I asked he, What did you say?? And yes she repeated it with her tender voice and very fluent accent…. "Please can you show me where the Senior Class 1 is located??

~ I became sure that she didn't make a mistake, and I smiled because that was actually my class.. And yesssss I walked her to where the classroom was and I left her at the door, immediately… I left to my own classroom. And that was because my classmates were already smiling mischievously at me and I didn't want to start acting weird.

***** THE BELL RINGS *****

And it's break time already, I rushed down to the class where my other classmates where in, very eager to see the beauty that was added to the class, reaching there… She sat alone while observing the whole class, her sit was close to mine "at the back" I love sitting at the back and somehow, she had a sit next to me…

I glanced at her as our eyes locked and I purposely broke the eye contact, I felt so shy. She then smirked at me, and said " Hi I'm Charlotte and you?" My brain hanged for a second, I almost forgot my name but then, I managed to stutter "Mi…cheal" And that was it, She started asking questions and I decided to keep her company by engaging her and also filled her in with how the school works.

My classmates were already looking at me like I was an alien, and I know what those looks meant, "How did he start talking to her????" I figured that's what'd have been going on in their minds. But I acted ignorant so as to avoid unnecessary questions.

And that was it, she later asked if I had a phone, that we should exchange numbers so we can be in touch even after school hours.

"Not a bad idea, I said" and we exchanged contacts. My twin Gabriel was just starring at me in disbelief.. As I winked at him and he smiled. And after the whole day, We all went home.

Pheeeeww…. What a Day!!
