Exposed
<h1>*EPISODE 20 </h1><h2> “Exposed”*</h2><p><br/></p><p>By break time, the school was boiling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Screens lit up with one blurry picture: Aisha and Deniem, standing too close, faces inches apart behind the library.</p><p><br/></p><p>The caption? </p><p>*“Lovebirds caught again. Evidence don land.”*</p><p><br/></p><p>Laughter. Side eyes. Phone screens passed around like snacks.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha stood by the tap near the Home Economics lab, washing her hands just to stay away from the chaos.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then she heard it.</p><p><br/></p><p>“She no dey tire?” </p><p>“Na wa oh, shameless.” </p><p>“Maybe she think say na film she dey act.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her chest tightened. She wanted to disappear into the tap.</p><p><br/></p><p>From behind, Mariam walked up to her quietly. “Are you okay?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha sniffed. “Do I look okay?”</p><p><br/></p><p>“No.” Mariam reached into her bag and handed Aisha a tissue. “But I’m here, if that counts.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Just then, Mrs. Edet, the discipline mistress, stepped out of the staffroom with thunder in her face.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Aisha Idris! Deniem Uche! To the principal’s office. Now!”</p><p><br/></p><p>The entire block went silent.</p><p><br/></p><p>Deniem appeared from the far end, walking toward her. His eyes met hers, calm but serious.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You ready?” he asked.</p><p><br/></p><p>“No,” Aisha said honestly.</p><p><br/></p><p>He smirked. “Me neither.”</p><p><br/></p><p>As they walked side by side to face whatever storm waited, whispers followed.</p><p><br/></p><p>But they didn’t stop walking.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because when the world throws fire… sometimes, you walk through it with someone beside you.</p>
