Chapter 4

After having that weird conversation with Ayo I went back to my seat to meet Sandra.

How can I possibly hurt someone as beautiful and lovely like Sandra,  it's been more than a day but it feels as if I had known her my whole life, I could tell she had 5 smiles.

                             1

when she is smiling normally.

                              2

When she is smiling, something slyly just happened.

                             3 

when she is smiling because someone just said a really funny joke.

                               4

when she is pretending to be smiling at someone or something she doesn't really like.

And lastly which is my favorite smile of all when she is smiling at me, it feels as if she is looking through me, it feels as if she could see my heart beat really fast anytime I am close to her and everytime our hands accidentally touch, it's as if a surge of electric current was gushing through my veins.

I have dated many girls in the past but I have never experienced this kind of feeling before, I should definitely ask her out... But what if she says NO? What if she never speaks to me again?.... No I can't ask her out now it's too soon.

As I was pounding what to do the bell rang for the end of the school period for the day.

“You know when I came to this school today I was sad, cus I missed my old school mates and friends but I ended up having a great time. Thank you."

“What can I say, I am Superman and it's in my job prescription to save people even if it's from sadness."

We both laughed then one of the school prefects came in, she is the assistant head girl Tosin by name.

“Sandra, your dad is asking of you."

“Alright, thanks, I will meet him." Sandra said to her.

Sandra said but Tosin was still standing waiting for Sandra. The expression on her face Is that of FOLLOW ME NOW OR DIE!

“Your dad said you should come with me right away."

“You better go Sandra before Mr President comes himself."

“Who is Mr President? "

Shit!!!! Why did I call her dad Mr president in front of her?

“Your dad is."

She gave me that face that says GO ON.

“Why do you call my dad that name?"

Tosin cuts in just in the right time to which saved me from any further information.

This my mouth would not kill me!

“Sandra!!Let's go now!"

They both left, and it was my turn to leave too. I tried sighting Ayo but he had left the classroom. Where could this boy have gone too? I went out to search for him, but then I found him in the midst of some of my classmates. Emeka was among them, they were involved in some kind of  discussion which I had no interest in finding out what it was all about.

“Ayo!!! I'm going home. Are you coming with me

“I'm, wait for me."

He screamed and quickly ran towards me and we both walked to the exit gate of the  school. My school has a very big compound and it's as if someone is doing a marathon each time you walk from the class to the school gate.

“We need to tell the principal to bring a taxi or ‘keke' that will be carrying us from our class to the school gate."

Ayo let out a laugh.

“That's true, I am already tired."

“So what were you discussing with Emeka and Co?"

“You won't believe it." He said and I raised an eyebrow.

“Believe what?"

“Emeka thinks you like Sandra."

He said laughing and my heart started beating as fast as a moving train all of a sudden.

Why were they discussing about I and Sandra?  And what exactly has Ayo told them? 

Please God let Ayo haven't said anything stupid.

Let it not be what I am thinking, please God.

“So what did you say?"

“I told them the truth of course. I told them that you feel nothing for Sandra and that you are only being friendly with her so that you can get your revenge on her father."

I nearly fainted when I heard Ayo say all  that, this boy has finally killed me!!!!

“You did what?! How could you have done that?"

My hands held Ayo clothes without my permission. It's like the anger had taken over my body completely. I kept shaking Ayo screaming at him.

“C..Chris?" He looked really frightened so I let go of his shirt.

“Do you know what you have done!! you told my secret to the world!! to my enemy Emeka!!"

“B..But I don't understand why you are mad at me. I know I said the truth to them but I don't know that it was meant to be a secret."

”Shut up!!!! Just shut up okay? I can't talk to you at this time. I can't believe you are my friend. God!"

I said angrily and walked out on him.

If I know anything about Emeka is that he is going to use this information against me but when will he use it? my head kept spinning, meanwhile I  kept hearing Ayo's voice in the background.

“Chris!! Chris!! I'm sorry."

I went out of the school compound without looking back at him but I knew truly  it was not his fault, I never told him I had feelings for Sandra in the contrary he thinks I despise her, there is only one person to blame and that's me and I have to make things right, I have to tell Sandra everything before she finds in out by her self or worse if Emaka tell her.

He always knows how to make things which are bad already even worse. It's like his special talent. I will have to arrive at school tomorrow very early before anyone, so I won't allow anyone to say anything to her until I speak to her first.

I could not eat throughout that day. I kept thinking about Sandra. My mom tried to find out why I wasn't eating my food but I told her I wasn't hungry.

What do you think? Am I too late or will I be able to make things right between myself and Sandra before something goes really wrong?
