BEFORE LOVE

EPISODE 8

I have been watching this lady for a while now, she seems so lonely and like some thing is bothering her, I guess she's a new student here cos I haven't seen any one as beautiful as her around this school, I don't know but she doesn't seem rich to me, I will do something to get her attention for sure.

I walked down the lane she was sitting and while walking I intentionally fell down, 'arghhh' I screamed that only her could hear, hey what's wrong she asked running up to me, I fell down I complained pouting, am sorry Okay, come here she said and helped me up to were she was sitting. Oh Jeez I love the massage this lady's giving me, she's just perfect doing it, sorry Okay, she said, her voice is wow just like her looks, how can someone just be as beautiful as her.

What’s your name, she asked again, am Sophie, I replied, you must be a junior student she asked and I nodded positively. Sorry Okay, she said petting me on my back, okay senior, senior am I a bad child or am I not pretty enough, I asked, common you are not bad and you are very much pretty but why would you think like that,senior no one wants to be my friend, all those I like to be my friend keeps on running away, they will all say, stay away from me cos I don't want problem, senior I think am cruel I explained, it really hurts bad. Hey dear that's okay, if they don't want to be your friend that doesn't mean you are bad, maybe they are afraid of something like someone in your family or any thing like that, she advised, senior are you going to be my friend? I asked hoping she would accept, of course am already your friend, I mean my school mum, I threw out, common dear you barely know me, she said, I like you senior, you are beautiful but is fine if you wanna reject me like they all do, I said standing on my feet to leave, okay, I will be are you happy now she said, I jumped on her she don't know what she just did, she liberated me, am so happy right now thank you senior am so happy, I said still hugging her.

This girl's really a temptation, it feel sad for her, why would she receive such ill treatment from people, why will they have to make her think bad of her self, she's too young to be rejected and she's beautiful, she must be from a rich home, it's very obvious, any way I already accepted been her school mum. Yeah I couldn't just let her go feeling rejected once more but why would she make that request when am just new to this school, just hope it doesn't call for trouble.

Today is really cool you know first of all I apologised to Xavier and we are cool now, he even bought me lunch from which I kept some for mum, I know it isn't right but we have absolutely nothing to eat at home tonight, the money I got yesterday was used to get mum herbs. Xavier's not that terrible you know, he even asked his guards to exchange my seat, one thing I can't help but wonder is why he's so Interested in me sitting with him.

I bent my head on my palms just lost in thought, I tried my best not to cry but my emotions failed me, some one touched me from behind, who could be that. Hi he said, hey I replied drying my tears, why are you crying, he asked, oh it is nothing so just flew into my eyes I lied, sorry about that, any way why aren't you at the field, there are so many games activities going on there, he said, I know just thinking about something's I replied, mind shearing it with me, he asked, don't worry I will be fine I replied. So why did you transfer into this school, were you in any sort of trouble, or did your parents just withdraw you on their own, okay let me tell you how I came to the school he said after a while and I still didn't say anything. My elder sister was passing through this route that very day when she came across the school gate, the news letter captured her mind, it talked about some scholarship stuffs like that, when she came home and passed the news to us my parents were happy and advised us to read so we(my both elder sisters and I) could per take in the exams but unfortunately I was the only one who qualified for the scholarship, and that resulted my both siblings in to learning fashion and catering respectively he narrated. Wow you are really lucky, I wish them luck I said, so can I know about yours, he asked why is he persisting on me telling him about my self, how did you get to this, who's your father, where do you live, how many siblings do you have....., he kept on asking but by this time my tears already sold me out cos I have started crying, he drew me closer and cuddled me, you can always tell me about it, stop crying Okay, he further said patting me on my back.

I didn't see Nelly at the field so I asked zack to go check out for her, after some minutes he came back and took me to the spot he found her, what's wrong with her, why is she this moody, don't she like games I wondered, just as I was about stepping forward Derrick touched her back, wait is she crying, what happened to her, they talked for a while then after that Derrick guy asked her something she started crying, it took me my last strength to not step inn cos I know the scene is going to go far and may affect my company as well. Derrick put her head on his shoulder and petted

her back, I walked out of the scene because I was already getting annoyed.

I went straight to my office, I need to cool off am really sad here, she's getting closer to that guy instead of me, I can't really concentrate may be I should take some rest, I will be fine I concluded and within few seconds I dozed off.

When I got up the first thing I did was to check my phone see the time, oh no school's long over, why am I becoming this way cos of a girl, is this truly what love feels like, oh no my back pack I need to get it. Every student seems to have gone home, when I entered our class I still met Nelly, what could she still be doing in class, her head was down like she's sleeping, I touched her with my fingers and she shivered. Nelly I called sweetly and she got up immediately, why are you still in school I asked, sorry I was just waiting for you to come so no one will take your back pack but unfortunately I slept off am sorry, she replied, why is she afraid of me, it shows whenever we're talking, it's so unlike when she was talking with Derrick, she was free to express her self, thank you I said.
