Chapter three

                Iris cursed for the umpteenth as she  prepared her working uniform for the next day limping in pains the drugs the pharmacist had prescribed to her was yet to fuction in her system and it left her restless through the night.
Ivie turned from her side of the bed with a frown etched on her face as she spotted her friend mumbling words she couldn't decipher

"I hope you are not thinking of going to work in that condition... Isn't that ankle enough stress to handle"she queried

" I can't sleep the drugs seem to have left me restless "Iris shrugged

" as lame as it seems I don't know why you took that part time job in the first place--

"Oh please girlfriend do not start again" she growled using a pillow to shield her two ears
Ivie signed tossing the pillow out of the way with a worried look
"it makes me feel bad that I can't help you because you won't allow it"

"Am so lucky to have met you Ivie but I won't take your generosity and kind gestures toward me for granted, my pride won't let me"

"Pride they say goeth before a fall " Ivie blotted out not ready to give up

"Chilvarous heart like yours deserve a gold medal " Iris joked

"What? That's a lame joke do I look like a knight to you" Ivie smiled

"What's up with you and that Philip guy,he's really head over heels for you"she said diverting her attention

" what do you mean he likes me"Ivie asked resting her back on the bed

"Is it that you don't know or you are just feigning interest"

"Love is not what I want now ohh"

"At least loosen your sleeves a bit when you are around him"

"What on earth is this ,why don't you loosen your sleeves too around Peter Okafor and all those other guys throwing themselves at you"

"That's not funny..peter is a man LovePeddler you know that"
Iris said shocked tossing a pillow at Ivie who did the same back at her they ended up exhausting them selves with pillow throw and slumped on the bed breathless

" I hope we both find that Man that would make us at least stay in love "Ivie chuckled

" yeah! Don't you think we place our dreams too high to allow ourselves fall in love"
Iris signed
Distant in thought Ivie signed too

"love most times ain't the best experience... Me I never want to fall in love again"

"Good night girl sweet dreams"
Iris whispered as she gave in to exhaustion letting sleep take over her.

Ivie signed again her eyes roaming through the slightly dark room ,someone who had been stung with the bee of love wouldn't want to taste the honey again.  Ivie felt her past resurfacing back of how beautiful it felt to be in love...she cursed silently closing her eyes knowing heartbreak was  the price she paid .

**********

Cleaning the school canteen had not been easy today since Iris winced in pains through her task,griped with exhaustion she slumped down at the chairs close to her in few minutes people will start trooping in for breakfast she needed to gather enough strength,Ivie had persuaded this morning not to  go to work but she was determined and here she is regretting why she didn't call in sick.

"Seem like you had a bad night" Jude one of the canteen staff asked from the counter where he sat observing her

"Actually the whole of yesterday was so not my day"

"That bad huh"

"Yes Jude you just can't imagine" she sighed
     
The restaurant pushed open sending in early morning chills as two young men walked in,they sat at the other end of the table by the left where they could get a clear view of the outside field.

   What caught Iris was the helmet the other one held,it was the same as the one from yesterday
She recognized the macho built student as Philip limping to where they both sat,one could glint the hostility in her eyes, the idiot was smiling while she was in pains,he wasn't all black today this time he wore a black knee stripped Prada jean which hung tightly on him with a Burberry grey shirt and a grey jacket which of cause reeked of money.

"Good morning Phil" she looked directly at Philip ignoring the other guy.

"Good morning pretty" Philip greeted catching her obvious mood

"What would you like to order"

    Liam raised his head to look at the young server,clad in a faded jean trouser and an XL polo shirt that had the signature of the canteen,as much as he would love to compliment her good looks which he rarely does to anyone he thought other wise with the way her coffee eyes turned cold towards him he wondered why.
She was also acting all rude, mentally he searched if they had met somewhere he did not realize he was down sizing her until when he caught her glare with a smile that didn't reach her eyes

Now she looked at him with a slight frown etched on her face before he realized she had said something
"What?" He snapped looking stupid

"I was waiting for you to place your order"
She slurred

Liam found himself admiring the smooth melodic voice instead of annoyed at her manners

"Emm... I would like to have black coffee,no sugar please and anything edible for breakfast"


"Sure even the devil himself lack taste"
she muttered as she jotted down his order
Liam furrowed his brow in a derisively questioning grow

"sorry did you say something "

"Huh!" Iris raised her brow"oh no nothing at all"

   She limped back to the counter passing the order to Jude, well the jerk should be greatful she was excerting control,his presence alone upsets her with that she decided to put the events of yesterday behind her.

( secret love by Little mix)

        Prince William Esosa Obazee came out of the huge library carelessly he slug his Prada designer brown shoulder bag over his shoulder busy with his android phone, clad in a black tight designer pant an Armani black shirt covered with a black jacket and brown matching boots.

One would wonder why the uproar in the suppose to be serene part of the campus,the ladies couldn't  avoid risking a second glance as he passed,others made an attempt to gain his attention or try talking to him.

  Liam was already used to their silly putty lines on him,not surprised they knew his name,he only waved passed them pretending not to notice.
    
His friends had found it quite amusing that girls always flocked around but none of them seem to pique his interest either they teased him that he lacked passion or his libido was dead which of course made him laugh,well they couldn't blame him because he just wasn't the ladies kind of man,he was a business minded person,the conservative type,apart from his foreign accent ,Liam had a staggering gorgeous good looks to compliment him,he was light skinned and ruggedly handsome to a fault with thick dark croppy hair that contributed to his beautifully chiseled face ,he was tall with a muscular body shape,he exude that aura of authority he was born with.
 
    Liam spent most part of his life in France his maternal side that explained his accent,his father the Oba of Benin had cajoled him to come back to Nigeria and learn the ways and culture of his people as his only child he came on one condition to be treated normal and he wanted to keep a low profile not wanting any scandal on his long stay to school in Nigeria.

   He walked towards his power bike about to place his helmet when someone tapped him slightly on his shoulder he turned to see Erin Osazuwa smiling widely at him

"here you are have been looking all over campus for you"
she spoke with a phew sign of relief he kept silent with his brow irked at her wondering if she came to throw another of her tantrums at him,she was such a drama queen and very unpredictable.

   A week ago he had decided to keep his distance from her...hell so many times he had sworn to keep his distance but she keeps on throwing herself at him,she had gone about spreading irrelevant story of them been a couple,though it was of less importance to him only that she expected a lot from him,she literally fights with everyone that even tried  to get close to him. She had accused him of been immobile and blind that's why he couldn't see her advances.

  The two stood there saying nothing to each other,Erin fiddling with her hair knowing she had to apologize if she really wanted to achieve her aim of making the prince fall in love with her.
Liam was every woman's dream good looking and wealthy she didn't want to build castles under the air fantasizing of what can be Liam was hers and hers alone.

"Look there is somewhere I have to be. What do you want?"
Liam asked in a blunt tone that lacked warmth

"Is that how we are now,you haven't even seen me for days Liam,don't tell me you would dare walk away leaving me like this"

Erin pouted placing her two hands in the side pockets of her designer white stripped jeans
"Seriously Erin I don't want to start another brawling match with you if that's why you were looking for me,so just give me a break okay"
he whispered quietly as he climbed his bike.

Erin quickly grabbed his hand and he couldn't tell what she was playing at so he just watched her

"Am sorry about the other day Liam,the last thing I want is for you to hate me,I have really given it a deep thought ---

" what are you talking about"
Liam asked impatient

"I love you Liam and am willing to wait for you,so let's go back to been friends"
Erin spoke hoping she sounded desperate.


he gathered her two hands together taking a deep breath

"we have already talked about this, I don't know what my mother told you but it can't work between us can we just be friends at least that's what I promised you"

"I love you Liam,is it a crime"

Erin asked already letting the tears drop but Liam knew better she was a drama Queen

"Just don't harbour any feelings for me because I don't feel that way and can't force myself to"
he dropped her hands and sped off leaving her standing.

She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes,what was it about her that he didn't like or was he just playing hard to get,her reason for coming to this school in the first place was to win his love.
Erin was classically beautiful,chocolate skin and tall she was the daughter of a senator in Edo state,they were family friends to the Obazee royal family and she tried to get close to the prince her family saw this and encouraged her to not give up her feelings for him..hopefully one day he would give in.

Though it had always plagued her why her mother was so intent on making her be in good favours with the prince,her mother was always calling to know the latest update about her relationship with Liam if there was any improvement, Ivie sensed something fishy going was on.

"Iris...Iris Ezinna "

Iris heard her name and paused when she recognized the familiar voice of her roommate turning towards the direction she saw Ivie Enaghoro her roommate and close friend hastily walking towards her using a long note book to shield herself from the still drizzling rain which showed it had no intention of ending any time soon.
Lectures for that day was over Iris only tried to hide the fact that she felt embarrassed of her disoriented state sulkily dragging her pained leg out of campus. Ivie hurried into the umbrella her face lit up with excitement

"Nawa oh! if you dey waka for road you no dey hear your name" (if you are walking on the road you don't hear your name)

Ivie asked vanacular English was her favorite way of communicating gregariously with friends.
The young lady took a moment to scrutinize her friend with a light scowl on her face

"This is definitely not your favourite kind of looks. What happened to you" Ivie pointed out
"And I saw you limping"

Iris openmouthed stared at Ivie
"shouldn't it be one question at a time" with a shrug she explained what happened to her

"Am this way because some doff jerk almost ran over me,he didn't even bother to stop just sped off,I had to come to lecture like this because of an important test" she spoke with anger.

"Sorry" Ivie sympathised "have you gone to the school clinic to get checked"

"No I didn't have the time"Iris replied

"Wait up so I get my car "Ivie said concerned for her friend

"Wait why did you leave the hostel without an umbrella" Iris frowned at her friend

" look at you now you are a bit wet from the rain" she eyed her dressing snorting in disapproval

"Sorry mum" Ivie joked" I just had to leave in a hurry...I was following a story"Ivie said smiling

" you and this your gossip career eh,yesterday someone tipped you with the silly notion of getting rid of cold with ice,now you left this morning under the rain, you are not even covered well"
Iris queried oblivious of her friend scowling

"What is this na, maybe I should rethink following you back to the hostel"
Ivie groans"have asked you several time if my mum pays you to always be on my neck"
she fumbled with her fancy hand bag to find her corrola car key
"Have told you before phuemonia no be small paracetamol case"

"Abegee ! You should know am bigger than that"
(Please)

finding her keys they walked towards the school parking lot waving to a few students that waved back in greeting
"Do you want to hear the latest gossip in this school or not" Ivie asked

" you will still tell me even though am no interested"
Iris knew how persistent her friend could be.

" I heard from peter-

"Who is peter again self" Iris asked

"Are you sure you are in this school or is it memory loss" Ivie gave her a wield look " Peter Okafor "

" oh! Is it that Hot ashewo (more like a douche bag) I wonder what reasonable information he gave you this time "
she said hissing quit loud to show her displeasure
Ivie looked at her knowing that peter was one person in the whole of the school that Iris felt repulsive towards

" the son of the owner of this school had been in this school for three years and nobody knows"

"Really so that's why you want to get yourself early on a sick bed,besides since when did you start rolling with peter" Iris asked annoyed

"Yes oh my main attention is to find out who the unknown prince is...it would be a big story on the school magazine,the guy has the information na"

"Ivie Enaghoro stop poking your nose in other peoples business,its not a career oh,and you know peter okafor is a womaniser,a chronic one at that"

"Dont be a joy killer common" Ivie shrugged.

They both entered the car oblivious to the attention they were creating without much effort.
Unlike Iris who came from a poor background,Ivie is the last daughter of her family, her father is an Eligible figure on the media business who owns several radio stations and television channels recognised in Benin and other states while her mother was an international fashion designer with her two siblings abroad,Ivie was forced to study in Nigeria due to her reckless nature and care free, spirited way of living...but Iris felt there was more behind that facade she let people see.
 
   The two girls had a genuine relationship given the fact they were both different in many ways
Ivie was a chocolate complexion, tall with pretty long legs. Iris had always encourage her to go for modelling she insists it suits her more than her gossiping career,she was freely endowed with the quality of a model

    Meanwhile Iris inherited the features of her mother light skinned, averagely tall and well endowed,she wasn't as skinny as Ivie but still doesn't fall under slim,she had this striking feature that drew attention to people her striking fishlike coffee eyes only that Iris lacked the basic requirement to outshine herself.
It was her second semester in year one she didn't really care what people thought of her she just wanted to do her best and graduate ,unlike Ivie who stood out much in the crowd Irhs felv like a square in a peg hole but never forgot her reason for been there in school.

BOOK 1
Prologue

Before we begin
Kindly put your Playlist here

Aren't you something to admire
Cause your shine is something like a
mirror
And I can't help but notice you reflect in
this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes
Me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the
Other side
(Mirror by Justine Timberlake)

BENIN 2009

The rain seemed to have increased this middle of the year since the friendly sun oddly peeked through the white clouds with a slight glow that didn't seem to please mother earth,because the rain had no intention of ending any sooner.

Iris Adanna Ezinna held her small red umbrella to shield herself from the drizzling rain as she left her hostel paying little heed to the wet tarred road which led to the campus it was only a twenty minutes walk from her lodge,she didn't have that kind of money to waste on shuttle plus her roommate already left with her car.

The young girl was clad in black Jean trouser and a long sleeve yellow sweat shirt to shield herself from the cold,because it was believed these little rain that drizzled down the earth were the ones responsible for fever,malaria or possibly pneumonia and that she must avoid,because things around this side was darn expensive,so she couldn't afford to fall sick.

Iris didn't think she would be able to make it to class before her lecturer did,she cursed the damn rain which was the cause for her woes,she didn't mind the water that tickled wetting her slippered feet at least she didn't have to worry about stepping her foot in a mud .

Apart from most part of the road that is waterlogged the prestigious royal university of Benin owned by a wealthy traditional ruler in Edo state and was living up to its name as been modernized, equipped,flexible and came along with an attractive environment, most times Iris found it too good to be true she had finally been given a unique opportunity and privileges to achieve her academic goals in one of the most expensive university in Nigeria, if someone had told her a year ago that she would further her Education she would have doubted them back then such wishes were like asking the moon for breakfast,she had solely given up on furthering her education due to her grandfather illness which had required funds.

Growing up with her mother and maternal grandfather in umueze a local village in Anambra state still yet to be developed Iris had kept to helping her family in the oil mill business since it was there means of lively hood,her grand father had hoped that she would enroll in one of the state universities immediately after her JAMB (Joint Admissions And Matriculation board) examination but was met with partial stroke that left him paralyzed ,the old man became bed ridden since her mother could not afford a wheel chair lots of money had been exhausted on her grandfather medication which had made her shun any hope of furthering her education.

Mr Ufoma Iris former school principal who had always admired her intelligence had told her about the scholarship in Benin and had helped her apply without the family permission ,she passed the exams and was granted admission on scholarship immediately ,it was indeed a great thing to celebrate, her grandfather was elated amidst her mother been against it,
she couldn't tell why but through constant cajoling and the intercession of her former principal Mr Ufoma ,her mother agreed with much reluctance.

" Adanna you know you are all I have ,please stay safe for me oh" Iris mother had wept
" make your mother proud,go to this school and come out with flying colours let me be counted among mother's that have educated children H

The words of her mother rang in her ears ,now in her second year,she didn't mind the challenges a university which was meant for rich men kids had to offer.

All Iris needed to worry about was her upkeep and feeding money thankful she met a generous lady who gave her a part time job in the school canteen whenever she was free from the school activities.

With a profound feeling of assurance iris felt she could take on the world...she turned her back as she heard the roaring sound of a power bike coming with speed from behind her,deep in thought she hadn't realized she had walked close to the center of the road,she quickly pushed herself out of the road when she lost her footings the bike speedily passed her splashing water all over her.

"Hey"
she shouted at the top of her voice but the occupant couldn't hear her with the outrageous sound of the bike and that damn helmet she could had sworn he saw her out of anger she threw her umbrella at the already distant figure.

"What was it with Spoilt rich kids born with platinum spoon in there fragile mouth,was it that they were all breeds of arrogance "

"Devil"
she shouted out of frustration when she couldn't fathom anymore abusive word to throw at the reason for her woes.

Could this day be anymore unkind to her not only was was she late and wet for her class,she didn't want to miss the test or risk her name from been marked absent,with tears she looked at the horrendous damage done to her and her note book .

"that dratted devil" she swore silently with

"that was exactly what he was a devil incarnate clad in all black"
Left with no choice she limped to school enduring the mocking stare from the people that saw her.

"I am going to make sure that jerk have a piece of his own medicine whenever i see him again"
She mumbled to herself feeling down in the dumps.
