It was a Monday morning-one of the days I really despise! I walked into the school premises with everyone taking pictures of me. I walked down the hallways ignoring the looks people threw my way. some junior students were discussing about how they spent their weekends, some talking about me. but when they saw me stopped gossiping so as to stare at me. I sighed knowing that there must have been a whole bunch of stupid articles they might've read about me online. I suddenly felt an arm across my watermelon sized butt (weird right? That's how Zainab, a classmate of mine described my butt)
"Hey, who the hell?" I screamed, clenching my fist ready to punch.
"Its me! Bernard! Fierce lady!" He screamed, raising his hands in surrender.
"Oh you! I didn't know it was you"
He shrugged and pointed to my sides which meant.. where are your guards? I pointed to the school gate which meant they had gone home. He shrugged and I shrugged too. He rolled his eyes and I did too.
"Stop already! You're too childish! Whatever! How was your night my queen?"
"Same as every other nights" I replied.
He didn't talk after that. We just both walked into our classes in silence. As soon as we stepped our legs into the classroom. There were murmuring and screaming.
"The perfect couples! Muah!" Zainab, complimented, blowing us a kiss.
Why were they referring us as couples? Cliche, right? This was really the last thing I'd want to hear. I don't do relationship. I'm not ready, why don't they understand. They ain't in your heart to know what you're thinking, younno? Shut up, miss subconscious! Mind your business!
"Wait! Silence!" I yelled.
And at once, the place was silent. A pin drop could be heard. I smiled in satisfaction knowing that I could even calm a storm.... well at least, the noises were storms, right?
"We are not couples. Why the hell do you guys think we are couples? We're just friends." I said, standing akimbo sticking my lollipop into my mouth.
"Really? you're denying it? You were spotted with Bernard in the pool looking all loved up. He was holding your waist and he looking at you so passionately. He even posted a picture of the both of you on his social media handles.The love was real and..."
"Just shh! You talk alot!" I rudely interrupted, earning a frown from Zainab, the school's number one reliable gossiper.
"The pictures are all over Twitter!"
"This is one hot topic on Facebook and Twitter"
"They both look cool, did you see her body in that bikini?"
"I can't believe, she went out with him. She finally noticed him"
"Just shut up y'all and can I get y'all damned attention?" I screamed enough to shush them.
Everyone settled down in the chairs, to hear what I'd say. Curiosity evident on their faces. But Just one certain individual was not into the discussion.... guess who? Fred! He was sometimes on a textbook and sometimes sending me an 'oh-she's-lost-she-need-Jesus-in-her-life' look. I scowled when we had an eye contact. I cleared my throat ready to speak.
"Listen up ladies and gentlemen. all I want to say is thanks for streaming my music. I have an upcoming project with a movie director and I happen to be the main character in the movie. I'd put the trailer on my Insta featuring both I and Ann. Its a Korean movie, guys! You wouldn't miss it, I know! Make it a goal to regularly check my YouTube account for the trailer of the movie. And also, please.... I'm not in for relationships now. But if I kinda fall in love, you guys will be updated. And please.... would you guys mind telling the newer students to stay off and get off my path. They wouldn't wanna get into my bad book or they'll regret setting their silly foot into Marina academia. Understood?" I said, my gaze on Fred who snorted.... loudly!
I majestically walked up to my chair giving Fred a big frown to which he responded with a scowl. my frown deepened seeing his legs propped on my chair.
"Would you sit properly?"
"Why?" He asked nonchalantly, his face still stuck in his book.
"Stop being a dumb ass and move your leg or I'll have them chopped." I whispered yell.
"Hello!" He said, brows furrowed.
"Don't you dare hello me. Now sit properly and don't talk to me." I warned.
"What if i don't? You'll get me beaten up?" He asked, this time staring at me.
"I'm not in for your trouble!" I pushed his leg off my chair..... oh, please don't remind me to hit me real hard on the leg.... cause I already did.
He groaned, rubbing his leg as he stared at me angrily and at the same time, amused.
"Illiterate!" He whispered, smirking.
"What did you just call me?"
"Obviously, illiterate! Or aren't you one?" He asked, smiling.
He looks cute smiling... wait! what did I just think ?
"You're the illiterate here. so don't call me one. What an indirect way to call yourself out!" I laughed, flipping through the pages of my book.
"Said by someone who couldn't give a clear definition of the word 'oxidation'. I hate sitting beside illiterates like you!"
Lend me some pretty cool comebacks please!
"You...."
"Err... Zikora can you please come with me? For some minutes?" Bernard interrupted, weirdly staring at both I and Fred.
I really wanted to whack or maybe hit Bernard across the head for interrupting us. Wasn't he taught 'manners'? He really needed a punch and I'll give it to him.... very soon! I got up from my chair to follow him but he dragged me instead to the corridor looking at me for some sort of explanation.
"So what's your answer?" He asked, blinking nervously.
"First, it's really rude of you to interrupt people when they're speaking..and I hope you don't try that shit with me again. Secondly, what was so important that you had to drag me out here only to ask me what my answer is to a question I really don't know." I yelled but not to the extent of drawing attention.
He sighed staring at me looking really stressed.
"You really don't know?" He asked, biting on his lower lip.
Damn! I just watched an exciting movie...Men on black (I actually don't actually remember the name of the movie tho, but i know it consisted of men, on and black in the name of the movie)
Whatever!
What the hell was Bernard talking about?
Why's Fred acting so bitchy?
He really needs a punch!
Ann please, come to school already.... your Bestie needs you.
I got my braids done today, guys!
