ROMEO'S POV
"Can I take this?", Hendrix asked holding my PS5. "Hell no! I know you'd miss me when I'm gone, and I'd miss you too. In fact, I don't want us to relocate!" I said to him. My mom entered the room and told me we'd be leaving in 5mins. "Adopt me please, Mrs Williams", Hendrix said hilariously. My mom laughed and told him he could come visit anytime. "Making new friends in Accra is going to be very difficult for me, you know mom", I said to my mom who was about leaving the room. " You'd be fine darling", she said and left. " Aw darling", Hendrix said after my mom left, "you're just jealous", I said and walked out with my stuff. Hendrix helped us pack everything, the time came where I had to say my last goodbye to him and trust me, it wasn't easy. I've been friends with Hendrix since kindergarten and we're now in Senior high.
We arrived in Accra at dusk and wow, our new abode was awesome. I turned to look at my mom and realized she was teary. " This is it son, now tell me you don't like it", she said teasingly. I laughed and hugged her. "Let's start packing", she said, "also find a school around, you're starting school on Monday". After packing, I googled for schools around and finally chose one, I've heard so much about that school and wouldn't miss an opportunity to school at the Brighton Senior High. When I told my mom about it she smiled and said I've made a right choice. She knew the owner of the school, so getting enrolled wouldn't be a problem. I joined the first morning lesson which was geography and everything was okay . During lunch break the class rep, Xander, walked to me and asked me to join them for lunch. "This is Clifford and Evanda", he said pointing to the two guys who were following him. "I'm Clifford, the basketball captain", he said extending his hand for a handshake. "Oh really?, I'm also good at basketball guess I can join the school team", I said . " Yeah sure, after you have proven yourself", Evanda said. We grabbed lunch together and after school hours they sent me to meet the basketball coach. After practice, the coach introduced me to the teammates as a new member. "I asked you to prove yourself and damn you did", Evanda said. "Well I've been playing since childhood", I responded . "We're watching a movie at my house today, like right now, if you won't get into trouble for staying out late you're invited", Clifford said hilariously. "Lemme get my car so we go", I said to them. "Wait!, you have your own car?", Xander asked. "Yeah a gift from my dad", I said. "OMG!, your dad is so cool can we meet him?", Evanda asked. "Erm, he's actually no more, he died from cancer", I said. "So sorry, we didn't know", they said in unison. "No problem, meet me at the school gate", I said and left.
CLIFFORD'S POV
"I already like this guy, good at basketball and owns a fuc*en car!". "Take it easy guy, he has to pass our friendship test first", Evanda said. "I don't really care about that, but let's see", I said knowing fully well he might fail. "So this is how the text would go, I'll talk to my sister and I'm hoping she'd help us again" I said to them. "Pearl was really pissed after I passed the test, she was hell burnt on making me fail. Seems she had a thing for me, I doubt she'd help us.", Xander added. "Well, she's my sister and I know her weaknesses", I said. " Sheesh, this is fire!", Xander exclaimed. I turned to see a jeep and damn that was Romeo's car.
ROMEO'S POV
"Hop in guys", I said when I noticed how astonished they were. "Wait your car is a jeep!?", Evanda said. "Yeah, my dad was indeed cool". We arrived at Clifford's house minutes later, after watching the movie I had a call from my mom and left immediately. On my way out I met a very pretty girl, she looked so innocent, her skin was very clear and almost shined, her hair was looking so good on her, she had dyed her hair pink! "Who are you please?", she asked approaching me. I run my hands through my hair and bit my lower lip " Ro.. Romeo", I said nervously. "Erm.. I'm guessing you're one of my brothers friend", she said. I couldn't stop looking at her eyes, her eye brow and eye lashes complimented her eyes so well. "Clifford is my brother, are you new here?", she asked. "Yes, sorry yes erm.. what's your name?", I asked as she turned to leave. "Pearl", she said smiling, "nice meeting you Pearl", I said and she walked away. What the hell just happened to me, why did I get so nervous. Argh, that's so unlike me! I said to myself and walked out.
PEARL'S POV
