“Nathania, is that you?” an elderly woman called from the kitchen as the front door opened.
“Yes, granny it’s me,” ‘Oliver’ answered, shutting the door after her and hanging the car key on the wall.
“It’s good you are back dear, I am almost done with dinner,” the woman said.
“Okay granny, let me quickly rush and take a shower,” she said and ran past the kitchen door so that her granny won’t see her and the way she was dressed. Getting up to her room, she flung her backpack on the bed and took of her wig and the bobby pin, letting her chestnut brown hair to cascade down her shoulders. She flew her hair around, stretching out the strands before dropping the wig on her bed and walking over to her dressing mirror to drop the pin. She opened the drawer and got out a facial wipe which she used to clean off her makeup and then stare at her oval girlie face in the mirror.
She heaved a sigh and took off her jacket and her turtleneck, dumping everything on the floor and then she unwrapped the strap she used on her chest. It was a good thing she wasn’t busty, it was what made her lie more believable and also the fact that she was taller than most girls at 5’9 all but added the cherry on top as she was also taller than most boys in the school. All of it all added to her charm and made her lie more believable. She sighed and kicked off her sneakers before taking off her jeans and then she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Walking back out five minutes later in a towel, she reached for her phone in her backpack and dialed a number. She slowly sat on the bed as she listened to the dial tone and right before the call could disconnect for no answer, it was answered and a tired voice flew into her ear. “Nana dear, how are you?”
“Hi mom,” she breathed and paused, waiting to hear what her mother had to say. But when nothing came, she asked, “how are you?”
“Tired, as always.”
“And dad?”
“He is sleeping,” she answered. “What about you and your grandma?”
“We are good. Granny is making dinner.”
“Oh Nana, she is not stressing herself, right?”
Nathania shook her head before answering, “nah, she is good. I just came back from school and met her in the kitchen.” They both sighed and the call ran along before she brought herself to ask, “what about Oliver, is he okay now?”
She heard her mom sigh again tiredly before she said, “we are still running tests. Last week own ended up not being accurate but we have hope with this one.”
“Can I talk to him?”
“He is asleep darling, but I will be sure to tell him that you asked of him when he wakes up. He misses you.”
“I miss him too, so much.”
“I will be sure to tell him that, you have my word.”
Nathania nodded, and once again, the call ran along until she asked, “when are you going to tell me what he is suffering from?”
“Soon dear, soon. Um…I have to go now, the doctor is here. I will call you before you go to sleep, okay?” her mother said and she nodded as an answer. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” she replied but the call has only ended. Sighing, she dropped the phone on the bed and ran her hand through her hair. Cracking her neck, she stood up and went to the wardrobe to find something casual to wear. Then cleaning up her room and dumping the dirty clothes in the basket, she left the room to join her granny for dinner.
After cleaning the kitchen and everywhere else, she helped her grandmother to her bedroom despite the woman complaining that she could handle it but she didn’t listen to her and still put her to bed, adjust the lighting in the room and kissed her good night before she went to hers. She grabbed her backpack and settled down to do her homework. Despite every shenanigan she was playing, she didn’t joke with her studies and had managed to bag number one in her school twice in a roll now and she wasn’t ready to let it go. She has always loved studying and had also refused to call herself a nerd.
Done with her homework, she climbed into bed with her phone and contemplated calling her mom again but decided to let her call her like she had said but she waited so long that she ended up drifting to sleep without getting the call.
The next day, she was awake bright an early, she made breakfast for her and her grandmother, took her grandmother’s to her bedroom for her before she started preparing for school and by the time she was done, she glanced at the boy staring back at her in the mirror and smiled, her energy back as she left her room, calling to her grandmother that she was leaving and grabbing the car key from the wall and leaving the house.
When she got to school, she was shocked to see a BMW black power bike in her parking slot. She stopped few meters from it, first of all, she has never seen the bike before, and secondly, there were a lot of empty slots, so why did the owner have to park in her slot. Angry, she reversed and took another slot and got down. She was always on time which leaves the spot always empty for her until the students started calling it her slot and now, not only did someone take the spot but they seem to have come much earlier than her.
She went to the bike and inspect it, it was authentic and in a marvelous condition, the owner was definitely a good one and as much as she loved the bike, she couldn’t help but wonder why there, why in her spot. She turned and went into the school, determined to find the owner and have them move but she searched the whole classroom and saw no one new. The arriving students were greeting her and the girls as always were begging for her attention but she had something bigger to handle. However, search as she may, she didn’t find any new student and had to give up when the bell rang.
When we got home, I got down from the car, expecting him to follow but when I looked back, he was still standing beside his car, I raised my eyebrow, “are you coming?”“Oh, you want me to,” he said, shutting his door and walking around the car to meet up with me.“What do you mean by ‘I want you to’?”Adrian sighed, “I’m trying to drop some of my old habits, I’m great at inviting myself to things and you usually complains about it, so…” he shrugged.I felt moved by his words, he is trying to make everything work out, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his lips lightly, “in case you don’t know, your attitude is what attracted me to you, if you had been doing all the things I wanted, then you would have backed away when I told you to, then we wouldn’t have spent enough time with each other.”He smiled, “so you saying you want me to continue with my previous attitude?”“I want you to be you, don’t change for me. I kind of liked the bad boy Adrian,” I threw my hands round his neck and kisse
Hearing Adrian’s words had swelled my heart so big that all I wanted was just to kiss him so hard and not let go. Kevin couldn’t find a refutable words to give so he just nodded, turned around and left. Josh and Charles followed after him when they realized that they had nothing else to say either.I looked up at Adrian, “what is this King of girl’s crown?”“Just a little club high school boys created, not just our school, with three other schools I think.”“So how do you choose your king?”Adrian grinned, “you are not going to like it.”I feel my heart missed a beat but like they said, curiosity killed the cat, “tell me.”“Well, the members would choose girls for the campaigners, and each one has only but two days to woo five girls and sleep with all of them in that two days.”“Ew,” I made a disgusted face.“I told you, you won’t like it.”“So whoever that slept with the five girls in two days wins?” Christy asked behind me, I have almost forgotten her.Adrian nodded, “exactly. And y
“Say yes Molly, you belong together,” Christy shouted in the quiet hall, her voice so loud that it almost deafened me. Of course she would want me to say yes, she had wanted me to be with Adrian all along.“Say yes Molly,” a guy shouted, I looked at him, it was Gideon, now he is supporting his friend, of course.“Say yes, you don’t have to turn him down,” a girl shouted and before I could find out who she was, a lot of voices started shouting, “say yes, say yes, say yes.”I looked at all the students surrounding us, some was not chanting with the rest and most of them where girls and the only boys not chanting were Kevin, Josh and Charles, I think they don’t want me for their friend, but who cares?I looked at Adrian and he was licking his lips, no doubt really terrified of my answer. The look in his eyes warmed my soul, in as much as I wanted to make him suffer a bit but turning him down in front of the whole students and those that would still watch the videos, it’s not something I
Everything was going smoothly today except for Adrian, he had been acting strange from our first class to our last class, which he didn’t even show up to at all. He typed on his phone in every class and I wanted so badly to know what he was doing but I never got the chance, he leaves the class before anybody and he enters late. With my last class for the day done, I sighed and packed my books, getting up and stretching myself.“Hey what’s wrong with Adrian? He has been acting strange today,” Christy said.“You noticed too?” I asked.“Of course I noticed, why shouldn’t I?”Picking up my backpack, I sighed, “honestly, I’m confused, I wanted him not to be able to take his eyes off of me today and he only did that in the morning at the parking lot, the rest of the day he just couldn’t take his eyes off of his phone,” we began walking out of the class then.“Yeah I understand you, but maybe something came up and he had to handle it immediately.”“And that thing had to come up today of all
I walked to my class, Adrian’s words still ringing in my ear, that’s how much I love you, honestly, that was the most sweetest words someone has ever said to me and it put a smile on my face as I entered the class. I had left him after the sentence because I didn’t know what to say neither did I want to show him how much his words pleases me. I gave no damn about what would be said in school, it’s surprising to know that with Adrian by my side, I don’t care about what any other person would say.It wasn’t long I sat in class that Christy came in, grinning like a Cheshire cat. “Fuck me, girl you have no idea what happened next,” she said, sitting next to my side.My interest was piqued, recalling that I had left Adrian and Mia in the lot, I knew something must have happened and for a minute, I regretted not staying to know what happened, “what?”“After you left, the bitch grabbed Adrian’s hand, demanding he should explain to her what he just did and then Adrian had looked at her, as if
On Monday, I prepared for school, adding a little extra touch to myself, I don’t often wear makeup to school and two weeks ago, I didn’t at all, never even bothered about my dressing but today, I was dressed in cross belt jean shorts with a black short sleeved polo inside. I chose black because I didn’t need him to tell me that black is his favorite color, I have never seen him dressed without anything black. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail, knowing it would be bouncing when I walk. Adding mascara to my lashes and baby pink lip gloss on my lips, to highlight the pink color, I poker my lips to my reflection in the mirror, loving my look.He said the color of my lips reminds him of cotton candies, I’m going to make it irresistible to him and he is not going to get even a peck. Putting on my black converse, I grabbed my backpack and left my room to meet Christy and Max in the kitchen, fighting over his remaining pancake. “Hey guys,” I called to their attention.Christy snatched the
