Chapter Six (6)

Finally the bell rang. Chemistry was over so I was heading to the cafeteria for lunch when I heard Randy calling me. "Hey dude. What's up? I've been calling your name. Wanna have lunch with us?"

"Sure, why not" I say

As we reach the table I see all this boys looking so buff and tall with all the cheerleaders. Slender and beautiful cheerleaders.

"Hey Randy! Who's the hottie?" One of the cheerleaders ask

"Oh, this is KB from Nigeria. He lives next door to Emma" he said and patted my back

"Oh, and is he single?" Another cheerleader said

"I don't know" he said and then he looked at me with "are you?"

"Yes, I am" I said not understanding why they asked. And then it dawned! They like me? Why?

"You know, I am gonna start calling you the Nigerian cutie"

"What?" I asked not understanding what was happening

"Because you're cute" she comes over to where I am standing and starts to put her hand all over me. And the other girls that giggling.

"KB, you look like you're not used to this kind of attention" Randy said

"I am not" 

"Okay, tell you what. You have to go on a date with Kylie over there. She'll explain everything to you." Randy said and winked.

The others started to laugh and i was confused. Oyinbo man sef. 

"So KB, tell us about yourself." One of the guys asked after i sat down.

"My full name is Korede Bello. I am from Nigeria. Lagos, Ikeja to be specific. I am 18 years old. I live with my mom, Dad and two siblings. Ezra and Jasmine." I replied.

"You like sport?" One of the guys asked.

"Yeah, soccer and basketball." 

"Cool we play soccer too. We play after school. You should join us." He said. I just nodded and started eating my food.

"So when are you free?" I heard a voice say from behind me. I turned around to see a pretty brunette standing in front of me. She was wearing a cheerleading outfit and it was really short. If she lived in my house and she was trying to come out the house in that skirt my mother would kill her.

"I am sorry, who are you?" I asked not trying to sound rude.

"I am Isabella Montez. And you're Korede Bello."

"Yeah. How did you know that?" I asked her.

"Everybody knows you. The cute new boy from Nigeria." She giggled.

I smiled back at her and went back to eating my lunch. 

"And I want you to be my boyfriend." I paused the moment she said that and looked at her strangely before the laughter left my mouth. 

"Why are you laughing?" She asked as though she'd seen nothing with what she said. Na so white chick dey row?

"Hold up! You can't just walk up to me and claim me as your boyfriend! It doesn't work like that."

"Yes it does. If I want you as my boyfriend, I get you as my boyfriend because I always get what I want!" 

"Hmmmn, too bad I am not something or someone that you claim whenever I want. It's reality."

I shook my head and went back to eating.

"Do you know who I am? My father is the CEO of Skye mobile. And he can buy you!"

"No he can't and neither can you." I said and picked up my bag and walked out of the cafeteria.
