Chapter 8
Morning came and rumors flew so fast. The moment I stepped foot on the school premises, eyes were watching me and added to the fact that Tobi is walking by my side.
“Why did you have to go with me?”He looked at me with bored eyes. “Who decided to sleep again in our house?”I suddenly looked around, roamed my eyes around just in case someone heard what he said. I glanced at him again and took notice of the wood near his lip and cheek.“Are you okay?” I asked.He nodded without looking at me.I was about to speak again when someone yelled my name and it was Rachel.“Andrea.”I turned my gaze at Rachel, and she was running towards me.“Bitch, I came from your apartment. No one is there, where did you sleep?” She asked and looked at me intently.I remained quiet and as if on cue she looked at the guy standing beside me, it was Tobi.“Oookay. You don’t have to tRelated chapters

The whole ride going to my apartment was extremely quiet, Tobi didn’t speak neither did I.My parents insisted that I should ride with them but I said no.I wanted to be left alone for the night and also talk to Tobi.“We’re here.” He said.I faced him.“Did you know about this?” I asked.He didn’t speak, he remained quiet.I pressed my lips together.“Tobi, I’m asking you. Did you know about this arranged marriage?”Tobi still didn’t speak.“Tobi!” I yelled his name.How can he remain quiet in this kind of situation?It’s frustrating.He looked at me.“If I knew, what could possibly happen? What will change?” He asked.“Even if we're classmates. If you knew about this beforehand, you could have at least told me.”He gripped the steering wheel so tight.“Andrea, listen to me. If you thin

I got used to Tobi being around with me almost most of the time. He’s like everywhere but sometimes Tobi would deny my existence from time to time.Maria and Rachel still don't know that after graduation I’m supposed to get married to Tobi.“Are you dropping me off today?” I asked Tobi.We were seatmates today in this particular class.“No, you’re staying in our place again.” He replied.“What do you mean?” I asked.He’s still reading his book, while talking to me.“Your parents informed me that they’ll be leaving the country again, they want you to stay at o

Rachel laughed when she saw me choking on my own drink, while Tobi on the other hand remained calm and handed me some tissues.Maria is just shaking her head in disbelief.“What the fuck are you talking about, Rachel?” I yelled at her.She was still laughing so hard that I had to throw some bread at her.She’s so annoying.Tobi stood up and left when his phone rang.“I’ll be back.” He said.I nodded at her and glanced at Rachel.“Have you gone nuts, Rachel? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I said,Rachel stopped herself from laughing.“I was just asking since you’ve been sleeping here for the past few days.” She replied.Maria smacked her head out.“Oww. What the fuck.” Rachel complained.“Can you please at least filter the words that are coming out of your mouth? This is Tobi’s place, learn to respect.” Maria said.Ra

What Maria told me kept on running through my mind. It’s been so long since the last time I had sex with Calvin and I didn’t have sex with anyone else.It’s impossible.“What is wrong with you?” Tobi asked while he was driving.I’m in the shotgun seat, trying to calm myself down.“Can we stop by in a pharmacy along the way?” I asked.He looked at me with his forehead creased.“Are you sick or something?” He asked.I shook my head.“I just have to buy something there,” I replied.Tobi stopped the car in a nearby pharmacy outside their neighborhood. He was about to get off too but I stopped him.“Just stay here please, this will be quick,” I said and ran towards the pharmacy.I hurriedly grabbed the pregnancy kits on the aisle cabinet and paid them to the cashier.“What did you buy?” Tobi asked when I got inside his car.I gri

Tobi stared at me and sat beside me. “I knew you were pregnant.” He said.I looked at him shocked, how did he know?“How did you know?” I asked.He pressed his lips together before staring at me again.“Symptoms, you were showing pregnancy and symptoms and I got sure of it when the house helper got your trash from your bathroom.” He replied.The pregnancy test, I should have thrown it somewhere elseI remained quiet until Tobi’s phone rang and he stood up. ‘I just went out to pick Andrea up, we’re on our way now.’ He said and put back his phone in his pocket.He looked at me.“We have to go, they’re waiting for us.” He said.I nodded and walked towards his car.When we reached their house, lights and music could be heard from the outside. Cars were packed outside their home, guests must have arrived already.We were greeted by Tobi’s

I glanced at Tobi who was now staring at her jumping sister.Tobi was just staring at her.“Fine fine, you’re having a niece so shut the fuck up and leave. Don’t tell anyone about it,” Tobi said.Tobi’s sister smiled and pretended to zip her mouth.“Secrets are safe with me.” She said and left the room.I looked at Tobi who is now looking at me.“What did you lie to her?” I asked.He looked at me and pressed his lips together.“It’s better this way, do you want them to know that you got pregnant by a married guy? Can you handle the stress?” He replied.He’s right, it’s better this way.“But this is wrong, you’re claiming a child that is not yours, I’m becoming a burden to you,” I said,“We’re bound to get married anyway.” He said and left me in the room.Morning came and I was staring at myself in th

Before she could slap me again, Tobi interfered. He was now holding the girl’s hand.“What do you think you’re doing?” Tobi yelled at the girl.The girl looked at me and then at Tobi.“She stole you from me,” She said,Tobi’s jaw tightened when this couple of girls took the girl away. It looks like they were friends with her.“Are you alright?” He asked.I unconsciously nodded at him.People from the cafeteria were looking at us, making me bow down my head. I hate it when people stare at me.“Can we leave?” I asked Tobi. &ldq

Today is graduation day, and people are flocked to the school right now. Everyone is anticipating their moment in walking down the stage with their diplomas in their hands.“Can you at least smile?” Rachel said.We are now seated at the student's section, while our parents watch on the benches.“I’m not really feeling good right now, I just want this to finish and go home,” I replied.Rachel shook her head while Maria handed me a bottle of water.“Keep yourself hydrated,” She said then leaned into my ears. “There’s a baby in your belly.”I nodded and drank from the bottle of water.Moments later, I was called on stage to give my summa cum laude speech but I didn’t have one.So I made the speech short.“I hope that each of you, my fellow classmates, blockmates, schoolmates, and friends will have a wonderful life ahead of you. Congratulations everyone!”Tobi
