Chapter 7

K•E•L•S•I::::

The sport teacher asked him to introduce himself.

"My name is Lexy Ideh",  his smooth voice came out

"Ideh?"  That Sounds familiar....... I thought sitting at the front row in other to watch the match properly.

Well, alot of people bears that name, so there is nothing wrong with it being a coincidence.

We had sport that morning, I watched the guys played football it was SS1 science department VS SS1 Commercial department that Friday, girls were cheering guys were whistling encouraging their various departments.

Lexy  and delvin were good player and everybody was cheering and encouraging them, I smiled watching him play with all seriousness dribbling his opponent.

They were everybody's favourite, both the teachers and students, smart, handsome and energetic.

What else?

Few minutes into the match, Lexy kicked the ball flying straight into our rival goal post, a roar of excitement and jubilation filled the field.

They kept chanting most especially my female classmates, Lexy! LEXY!

I rolled my eyes when I saw Anita blowing kisses at him.

The match ended with science student giving the commercial students 3goals to Nil.

Jubilation everywhere, my class mates were singing praises to the guys for the job well done.

"Kelsi! Bring that pack of table water for the boys'  I was about leaving the field when the sport teacher called me.

I turned back, "what? Did he just call me of all people?" I laughed thinking my ears were hearing strange things.

"No! I'm hearing double" I assure myself walking away fast.

"Kelsi!" The sport teacher called with his arms crossed looking at me.

OMG! I slowly turned back and all eyes were on me, including Lexy looking amused.

I saw him looking at me with that same look this morning, and my heartbeat accelerated,  I felt my Palm sweaty.

"si.......sir?", I stuttererd trying not to look at Lexy.

"Get the boys that water over there" he said walking away towards the principal office.

Okay, I replied, here we go.

I gave the guys the water around me and looked around for Lexy, I saw him sitting far away on the bench. 

"how will I go over there now?  I thought out loud.

Let me just drop the water and leave", I suggested.

I wanted to turn back and leave,but the sport teacher was there looking around, monitoring the students.

I exhaled, slowly turned back and started walking towards Lexy.

He looked up and saw me coming, 

"Mr handsome can you stop starring and smilling at me? I murmured softly.

I could hear the sound of my heart beat, my feet getting heavy like I have been walking for hours.

It was as if it will take me ages to get to where he was seated, I walked slowly to him and handed over the water.

"Take!" I stretch the water bottle to him, he looked at me for sometime and spoke.

"I saw you sitting at the back of the class, why?"

He noticed? He saw me?" I looked at him with surprise evident on my face.

OMG! He saw me!

"Yeah, I like sitting there" I said shyly avoiding his gaze.

He collected the water, and at thesame time pulled my hand to sit with him, tingling sensation rushed through my thigh.

I opened my eyes in shock, looking at him like he has gone crazy.

"sit with me" He said with a smile that caused goosebumps all over my body.

"Uhm... Uhm"  My brain couldn't form any word, I nodded and sat.

"Looks like you're new here too", he said taking a sip of the water, my eyes followed the way he put the water bottle on his lip I couldn't stop starring at his mouth.

Still starring at him, "What are you doing? My subconscious mind shouted, I blinked  coming back to my senses.

"Erm..... Iam not really a new student, i have been in this school for two months", I replied with a sly smile.

"Really?  And I have not seen you with a company like the other girls" he looked at me.

"Yeah, well"......... I shrugged and smiled shyly.

"Seems you don't like making friends, he chipped in with a smile showing me his perfect white teeth, I felt dizzy!

My God! This guy is cute, I thought admiring him.

"I like your name and your smile Kelsi", I saw the excitement in your eyes watching us play.

"What?? I looked shocked, wait! "He saw me watching them play?

"How.......how did you know my name"? I curiously asked.

"I asked my seatmate" he replied drinking his water again this time slowly while Starring at me.

My breath Hitched.

OMG! He knows my name! He knows my name, he is interested in me?

OMG! He said he likes my name!  He likes my smile! He called me Kelsi!!" Outwardly I looked collected but inside I was bursting with joy.

I was dancing in my head.

"C'mon let's go to the class, lecture is about to start" He urged keeping his boot and jersey in his bag.

I nodded and suddenly looked up, Anita was coming.
