Was engrossed in my studies, preparing for an upcoming exam, when Victoria approached me in the library. Her voice trembled as she asked to speak with me. I looked up, surprised, and gestured for her to continue.
Victoria's confession caught me off guard. She had harboured feelings for me for a long time, and I had no idea. I hesitated, trying to let her down gently. "Victoria, I appreciate your honesty, but I don't feel the same way. My heart belongs to Nneoma."
Victoria's reaction was immediate. Her face fell, and anger flashed in her eyes. "Nneoma? Are you into Nneoma? That's ridiculous! She's not even in your league, Tunde." Her words stung, but I stood firm.
"Victoria, that's not fair. Nneoma is an amazing person, and I care about her deeply. Please respect my decision." But Victoria's anger had taken over. She stormed out of the library, determined to get revenge.
The next thing I knew, rumours were spreading like wildfire. Victoria was telling everyone that Nneoma and I were cheating on our exams and that our relationship was a sham. But Nneoma and I knew the truth. We were innocent, and our love was real.
We confronted Victoria, and her schemes were exposed. Her jealousy and anger were plain for all to see. But instead of driving us apart, her attempts only strengthened our bond. We realized that our love was the real deal, and we weren't going to let anyone come between us.
In the end, Victoria's confession and revenge plot backfired. Nneoma and I emerged stronger, our love more resilient than ever. We learned that true love can overcome any obstacle, and we were grateful for the journey that had brought us closer together.
