Zayn shocked expression on hearing Fay tell him to shift away from her quickly cleared away as he tried to think of another way to get the stuck up Fay to get free with him.
Fay pulled her neckline from her neck and grimaced as it comes back to her skin like rubber. She's feels stuffy and held in, she have always hated this feeling. She threw a glance at Zayn and shrugged on seeing him staring broodingly at his drink. Maybe I was a little to harsh on him before, she thought before shrugging her shoulders again, who cares. She leaned against her chair and glanced at Amara again.
Amara is looking flustered and a little drunk but not too drunk. She likes letting loose and mingling with strangers like this, it's a trait she have since she could remember. He's very good looking and dark, since she started puberty, her fancy has always been in dark and tall men since she was fair and short. He obviously wants to do the dirty with her, she's not dumb, of course she understands when someone's really interested in her.
Fay looks at Amara weirdly as she tries to catch her attention to probably say something to her, but Amara seems pretty occupied to her.
"I'm never following Abu to anywhere again!" Fay muttered quietly under her breath as she pushed her chair back before pushing out of it and standing up.
"This is one of the most boring outing I've ever been on." Fay thought as she left the table.
'Look who's talking, did you do anything to make the table more lively? Instead you were pressing your phone throughout' her subconscious chipped in and Fay blocked the whiny voice out.
Abu made to stand up but she gestured for him to sit down back and not worry about her.
He raised a brow in a questioning manner and she nodded her head twice as she headed outside. Amara obviously too occupied with the fine guy by her side didn't even notice Fay absence.
Heading outside with her arms folded together, Fay walked slowly as she tries to avoid any contact with people. It proved useless as plenty people still mistakenly hit her as they walked passed her. Some managed to step on her toes, the drunken and stupid ones tried grabbing her but she rudely pushed them off. As she was almost stepping outside the sliding transparent door, she suddenly stops as she felt a hand slapped her butt.
Burning with rage, she turned around and hit the said person a hard slap on his face before pushing him hard in the process, throwing causes at him in rapid speed.
The culprit, obviously drunk stood up with wobbly legs and pushed Fay hard on the chest.
Fay with no strength to match the man's, falls backwards on the floor, her hand guiding her head from hitting the floor.
Throwing abuse and insults at the man, she pushed herself up and still tried to hit him again but a hand grabbed her by the waist.
Fay has never been the one to back down from a fight, be it an elderly person or someone her age. She would always say; 'It is better I cry, knowing I raised my hand to fight back instead of doing nothing and be bullied' She would always say this to her mum each time her mum fret over wounds and sores as a result of fights when she was still in secondary school.
She tried pulling the hand around her waist away to continue fighting but the hand tighten more securely around her.
"Go away, drunkard." The person holding her waist said to the drunkard who blankly looked from the person holding fay's waist to fay's angry face before saying.
"You! How much are you? I have money o!" He tucked his hands into his pockets and brought out fifty naira and hundred naira notes in twos. This man is sick. she thought.
"Are you mad? Do I look like a whore to you?" Fay angrily threw at the drunken man but he just laughed and showed her his hands with the hundred and fifty naira cupped in it.
Fay tried again to unhook the stranger's arm from her waist to give the drunkard another slap. Why won't this guy leave me alone? She angrily thought. At least leave me and beat this stupid man up for me instead of holding me down like a bomb about to explode.
"Let's just leave him alone, he's obviously drunk, alright?" The person holding her down said into her ear.
Of course, I know he's drunk, I'm not blind, she thought.
"Oh Kay, sure. I'll leave him alone. Can you too, let go of me now?" She asked as she looked around and glared at the people standing around, hoping for a continuation of the fight. Jobless, stupid people, Fay thought.
He let go of her and immediately like lighting, she hit the drunkard on his cheek so hard, her hands went numb first. The drunkard looked dazed and before he could have time to recover from the slight stupor, the stranger dragged her away from the drunkard all the way outside to her former destination.
Fay immediately pulled away from his hold the moment they stepped outside.
Suddenly feeling stupid for behaving like a girl with no class she turned to the stranger and stopped talking.
She tucked her hair behind her ears as she smoothen her gown again, leaning against the wall slightly hidden from the bright lights radiating off the bar.
She takes in his view. He's the dude she begged to queue before him in class today. The same dude that was checking her ass out. Why do he look more good looking now? She thought as she drinks in his looks.
"So, are you done fighting?" He asked as he laughed slightly, trying to start a conversation.
Obviously dude, she thought.
She nods her head slightly, not being in the mood to talk. The fight she had just now, coupled with the boring people at the table along with the wait she was put through just to get a bike. She so wasn't in the mood and she didn't even bother to hide it as she Stares at her foot, the stones on her left sandals gone. That stupid drunkard! Now even my sandals is ruined. She thought as his voice interrupted her train of Thoughts again.
Why did I agree to come here in the first place?
"So, what's your name?" He asked.
"Fay." She replied, slightly surprised, everyone knows her name in their department, and she means everybody. She's a very troublesome and loud person, so it always shows whenever she's absent from class. How he didn't know her name was beyond her.
"Nice, I'm Michael." He replied and smiled widely when she looked at his face.
"You have a very beautiful smile." She said and he mentally jumped up. At least she pays complements, he have always like bold ladies who pays complements to a guy.
"Oh really?" He asked as he smiled again.
She rolled her eyes as a small smile break through on her face.
"Don't let it get to your head, Michael." She added as she ran her fingers through her head.
"Never!" He replied.
"Yeah, right." She said back.
"So, are you going to school tomorrow?" She asked as she dug her hand inside her purse to bring out her phone.
"Yeah, I am." He replied as he contemplated on how to ask for her contact. He likes her. Like really like like her and he wouldn't want her to slip out from his reach.
"So, can we see in school tomorrow?" He asked as he tapped his call log, ready to tap in her number the moment she says it out to him.
"Yup, we can. Why not? That's if I'm in a good mood tho, my moods gets so worse in school because majority of my course mates are goats and fools and they're always getting on my nerves." She finished and he take notes, he'll never like being on her bad side, he thought. That's a lot of strength, anger, rage and sarcasm in one body. He thought as he nodded his head.
"Cool! I hope you'll be in a good mood tomorrow then." He said with a smile.
"Nah, I doubt." She said and the both of them burst out laughing.
"You have a beautiful laugh." He compliments and she averted her gaze, tucking her hair behind her ears. She immediately composed herself and raised her head up again, pretending as if she didn't just blushed just now.
"So, you want my number, I presume?" Fay asked as she saw that it was already morning. It's past twelve. She wanted to get this over with and head home, she was already feeling sleepy and surprisingly wanted to talk to him again.
"Giving me your number wouldn't hurt, and besides I am supposed to call you ,if possibly we're gonna see tomorrow." He finished as he played off cool.
Fay finally gives him her contact and made to head back into the bar to get her friends...
Drinking down the warm cornflakes in fast gulps, I grabbed my head in my hands and sighed. A very horrible headache decided to wake me up from a very short sleep. °°°°°° After giving Michael my number I headed back inside the bar to get Abu and Amara as it was almost 1:00am. As I walked into the bar, the people who witnessed my little brawl with the drunk man kept staring at me till it got unnerving. I was almost shouting at them to go get a life but I dismissed the thought the moment it came through. I've had enough drama for the night. On heading to the table, to my surprise the table was ringing with laughter from the people surrounding it and I sighted Abu with a girl that wasn't there before, beside him. Even Zayn is back into the party spirit as he is a
It's 5:00pm, I'll be done for the day by 6:00pm. Our law lecturer; Mr Isaac asked us to do a research on the third part of the rule of law, type, print and bind it together, of course I forget to do it since last week, I did the assignment in school today before we headed to the school market to type and bind it. It's already almost the end of our law class, he left our class early, requesting for our assignments to be submitted and our names be written accordingly to the way our assignments were dropped. Toben, being the snake he was, bossed everyone around and made sure we were queued up properly before the submitting began. I queued up properly this time, in the very front line, the third to the first person, to be precise. Just as I w
Amara wrote her name after submitting her assignment andhat of Abu, she made a mental note to call him this afternoon as he's absent from school today which is rare for Abu. She walked out of the class and saw Silas coming back into the class.'That was one kinda scene' Amara thought as she passed Silas, but she stopped the moment Silas called her name."Yes?" She waited as she quickly glanced at her white wristwatch, Fay is an impatient person and might get too angry than normally if I take too long, Amara thought as she waited for Silas to say whatever he wanted to say before stopping her."Amarachi. That's your name, right?" Silas said as he stood before Amara, he towered over her as Amara is barely five foot four inches tall.
Stepping into the house, Amara shut the door as Fay walked forward towards the window overlooking the busy streets. It's 7:03 and the both of them are just coming back from school after the talk they had by the flowers planted in the school's field.Amara went into the her room to get changed so they can think of what to eat and go to bed. She changed quickly to a white jean short and a white small singlet, she's all about white, that's like one of the thing her and Fay have in colour among other things. She headed out and met Fay who's already changed into a long shirt. Amara rolled her eyes, it's not that late and anybody can still come knock on their door, would Fay now go outside like this? I think not. Amara thought as she moved to perch on the left side of Fay's bed. "I'm hungry, Amara." Fay said and Amara smiled. She really like and adore Fay, even if she's a huge piece of wor
" OK, alright, the thought did crossed my mind." He said and Amara raised a brow at him. "But then?" She asked and he smiled.He really did like her, she's sexy, brilliant, fun to be with and lively. He still wanted to see her again, he'll love that so much. He thought as he made to reply her."But then, I like you. So, I think I'll still like to see you again." Kelvin told her and Amara cheeks went red, it would have been obvious as she was fair skinned but the lights in the bar were dimmed to the lowest, she was thankful for that."Um, I'll like that too." Amara replied.Kelvin stood up and pulled Amara up too, Amara picked up her bag and made to leave with him, but she remembered her friends and stopped."I'm be back soon, I'm not going anywhere." She told Abu since she didn't see Fay anywhere.
"Actually I was only joking, I just guessed randomly since you said your days are mostly bad in school. I was busy throughout today, I'm just getting the time to call you now." He said."Oh..." I said then trailed off."Wait, you knew I was joking, right?" He asked and bursted out laughing when I remained silent."How in the world would I knew how your day went, I just guessed." He said and I actually started laughing at how dumb I was thinking before and because he's laugh is contagious.There's some set of people God blessed with that gift, and whenever they laugh, even if it's in a very terse situation or at a very bad time, you'll still end up laughing with the person. That's just how Michael's own is and I've got to admit, I like it. I thought."Alright, alright, that's was silly of me to think that
Maybe you should talk to him first, after all you were the one at fault yesterday' my subconscious reminded me.'No, I'll look desperate' I argued.'Then Amara would end up winning the attention of your crush. Nice' my subconscious remarked.'Not nice, that's unfair' I thought.'Just talk to him' my subconscious pushed again.'Oh kay, I will' I replied as I walked towards where he was leaning on the wall, tapping away on his phone.Amara was already inside the hall where we have our first and second classes for today, she's reserving a seat for me.
"It seems like Zoe actually likes you back." I said to Abu as I put my left hand around Amara's waist, well at least she's not looking towards this direction anymore, I mused."Nah, I think not." He remarked. Abu started saying something to a girl that standing behind his chair and gesturing with her hands widely as she talked on and on, he nodded his head and laughed out loudly at something she said before he took his notebook and handed it to her, she smiled and said a few more things to him before she left.Our eyes followed her till she got to her seat on the far end of the hall, we looked away quickly as she sat down."So, why didn't you come to school yesterday?" Amara asked Abu."Oh, sorry I wanted to call you guys yesterday
