The Soulmates: of the 9 Elite Schools
Primary Story blurb/Synopsis
In Yola, power is inherited through institutions—and every term, it is fought for.
Among the Nine (9) Elite Schools of Yola, victory in the annual inter-school competition means far more than trophies. It brings influence, prestige, and the loyalty of the city’s most powerful families. Reputations are forged here. Legacies are broken here.
So when MiMie, a 15 year old Highschooler, a prodigy from the formidable Ahmodu Rybadu College (A.R.C), transfers to its greatest rival— Chyroma Amad Academy (C.A.A)—it sends shockwaves through the academic hierarchy. Officially, it’s a fresh start. In truth, it’s a calculated act of revenge.
Safeeyah, her Best friend, and the entire A.R.C betrayed her,
And MiMie intends to dismantle it from the inside out, and she plans to do it from the greatest Rival of A.R.C.
As C.A.A and A.R.C collide once again, MiMie becomes entangled with Tahir (a ghost of MiMie’s past and early childhood, with a “Pinky promise” under a neon light between them.), Now a quiet strategist whose influence stretches far beyond the schools, a boy who appears to be cold and calculating, void of any emotion, However, that’s not how MiMie remembered him at least.
And Mustyy, a boy caught between loyalty, consequence, and the cost of silence, running from a past that hunted him for almost 3 years, came to Yola, from Kaduna, a neighboring city, for a fresh start.
Together—and often at odds—they navigate a system governed by rigid traditions, hidden loopholes, and unspoken wars passed down through generations.
In the process, they often found themselves in a love triangle, Quadruple and even worse, one-sided and unrequited love, heartbreaks and depression.
In Yola where Traditions and Family arrangements, be it a Marriage arrangement, Business alignment (often both at same time), or Royal appointments are navigated and set in stone by Parents, imposed to their children, to decide their future.
So most of the time, the Elite children only finds freedom in their school life, however even at that, they often find themselves in generational rivalry that nobody knows how it began.
