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?
Tuesday morning.There was something about this morning the sky is not as bright as it should be this should be 6:00 am but everywhere is still dark, I check outside my window and outside was just as dark as the inside, I quickly turned on the lights in my room to check what's say the time on the wall clock.... But to my surprise it was only 1:00 am!I haven't slept at all, how could I sleep? when I was having nightmares about Sandra.There was one where she was flogging me with her father's cane. Mehn that was horrible, there is no way I can sleep again. I have to just stay awake till 6 am before taking my bath....The time passed slowly but finally it was 6 AM, I quickly went to take my shower, had breakfast and then rushed off to school.Due to hectic traffic on the road I didn't reach school on time I barely made it for assembly, I kept wishing no one had told Sandra any thing, when I finally got to school the prefects had already arranged stud
The principal could not believe what he was hearing, his face was that of disgust and fright as he was trying to take in what Emeka just said.I on the other hand was prepared to defend myself from such despicable accusations, I won't let Emeka ruin my life with his evil lies, because of this unhealthy jealousy he has for me.Emeka had always been jealous of me since I could remember. It started when we were both in junior secondary school (jss). Back then Emeka was like the king of the school, he was rich, handsome and was good at football, he had many friends and the girls were always flocking around him but his fame didn't last long because due to the crisis in the North (Boko Haram) my parents had to relocate, leaving their business and everything they had.We moved down to the West to live in Lagos. Life wasn't really easy at first as my family had lost a lot of money because everything we had was in the North but later on both my parents got a job al
I got home that day, told my parents what happened. I must admit it was not easy telling them, especially when I had to tell them I have been suspended from school for 2 weeks and that the principal had asked for one of their presence in school.My Mom was just so angry and disappointed,shouting and cursing Emeka. You know how mother's used to behave, while my father was as calm as calm can be, he didn't say more than what was necessary, he asked when he needed to be present in school and gave me some advice on life Matters...TWO DAYS have passed since I was suspended. My parents and I had gone to meet with the principal, and I was fined 30,000 naira for fighting and disturbing the peace of the school. I told you my principal knows how to get money involved in everything, yeah such an opportunist.My dad paid the fine and we both headed home.. However, on our way out of the school compound, a Range Rover Sport 2022 model was just making its way into the s
“Ahhhhhh!!!" That was the sound I made while forcing myself to get out of bed for two weeks now I have been waking up any time I please, the earliest was around 10:00 AM but now I had to force myself to wake up around 6 AM, some part of me wished the suspension continued, but it was for the best it ended, because I was eager to see Sandra and explain myself to her regardless of what her father had said earlier. She must have calmed down by now, she would listen to me I guess.I sluggishly took my bath and fixed a quick breakfast before I took off to school....Arriving at the school gate.“Ahh," I took a deep breath wondering what awaits me at the other side of the gate.Has my name been cleared? Or have they added more lies to my head? All these questions kept entering my head as I opened the gate and went in.I noticed people were talking about me as soon as I walked by them, I tried to pretend as if I wasn't hearing or seeing t
When we arrived at the hospital we went straight to the ward where Ayo was being treated. His mum was there with him and I heard she had not left her son's side since the day he was admitted to the hospital.Ayo lay unconscious in the bed, only still living because of the mechanical oxygen being passed through his nose by a machine. It was horrible, I didn't know when tears started licking from my eyes. I felt really pity for Ayo but more for his mother. It's never easy for a mother to see her son lying in a sick bed almost lifeless without being able to do anything to help him.On seeing us Ayo's mom was happy, she told Ayo that visitors are here to see him, that his best friend, who is me, is here to see him as if Ayo was able to see or hear anything she was saying.However I do admire her optimistic spirit, she still believes her son can still pull through from this and I want to share that belief as well.."It's nice you came to check on my son,
In my room reflecting on what happened today, having mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Joy because I have patched things up between myself and Sandra but sadness because of the state in which Ayo was in.I wonder if I will ever hear his voice again, then the thought of me and Sandra almost kissing came to my mind like a flash which made me smile in the midst of my sadness.“Miss Esther just spoiled the show."I said out loud to myself.I wondered what Sandra's lips would taste like? I closed my eyes and started to visualize I was holding Sandra in my arms and about to give her a kiss....Knock!!knock!!What the FUCK! I can't even kiss her in my own imagination without being interrupted!“Who is that!!!!" I said in a frown.“It's me," I heard Felicia voice say.What can this girl possibly want? I wondered. Guess I will have to find out.“Come in, the door isn't locked."Felicia walked
Two days passed, me and Sandra had become very close, but she wasn't yet my girlfriend, hopefully I should ask her out this Saturday if everything goes as planned, the inter house sport practice was still on going so in a week we only have lectures on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday while Tuesday and Friday are for inter house sport practiceEmeka have been quiet since is as if nothing had happened between us, I know it most hurt him seeing me and Sandra together despite all he did to separate us but I don't think he will give up that easily so I always watch my back,sadly Ayo's condition hasn't improved despite doctors effort, they have even advice his parent to cut off his life support cus they see no sign of improvement, but his parent refuse to pull the plug that still kept there son alive although this treatment it's very expensive, I don't know how long they can keep that up.I am really sad for Ayo and I wish him the best but that doesn't mean I can't have
We kissed for a lengthy period of time before we finally stopped. It was really amazing her lips tasted like the purest of honey, I held her firm in my arms, looking straight to her eyes as if I am seeing through it, this made her uncomfortable, but I kept on staring at her eyes, I could see her blushing all over.“You are damn beautiful and I want you for myself, I want to be the one who comforts you when you are sad, I want to be the one who brings you joy, I want to be the one you think of before you sleep, and the one you dream of when you fast asleep, the first one you think of when you wake up because you are these things and even more to me," I said.“I don't know what to say," Sandra said.“Just say you love me and would be my girlfriend."“Yes, I love you and I am happy to be your girlfriend."She said and we both kissed again and to my surprise it was even better than the first kiss. I was so happy
