BEFORE LOVE

EPISODE 7

Xavier refused to say a word to me for the whole day, am such a d**k head you know how can I get some one annoyed on my first day in school not just any one but Xavier, I mean Xavier Brown, now am in soup, what if he decides to expel me from the school, oh no this cannot be happening to me, not now, after a long time I have finally been offered admission to Brown's international high school. Oh my I need to apologise to him, I really need to, yes I can't forfeit this admission for one silly mistake, no I can't.

After the long stay in school I finally arrived home, Jeez can you believe the good samaritan do you know he also registered my name to the school bus manager, now I don't have to walk or return home from school on foot, yeah cos am not sure if am gonna be able to afford using a cab, I just wish I could meet with this person, I owe him a lot.

I can't wait to round up my chores so I can fill mum with the gist of my first day in school, I know she can't wait but she have to at least it's gonna give me opportunity to rest before going to the bar for my regular performance. Nelly aren't you done, my ears are itching already mum's voice coming from the living room, I told ya mum is really interested in knowing how my first day in school was like, I would be there in a jiffy I replied then quickly round up my work.

Okay can I get the gist now, mum asked as soon as I got to the living room, off course I replied then sat on the sofa very close to her, mum's health seems to be improving this days and it gladdens my heart, I really can't wait to see her fully on her feet. So mummy, as you know your baby is now a final year student of Brown's international high school, and my experience today was really amazing, the school environment was very big, imagine a school that's more big than our estate, it's sovereign is so cool just the way I love it but mum there's a problem I paused after remembering the incident with Xavier. Mum sat up, problem, what problem are you talking about mum asked furiously, I regret mentioning that word now mum is taking it serious, my child what happened, she asked again, it wasn't something serious just that I got some one annoyed, I was talking about his father's but mum it was meant to be in my thoughts never knew I said it allowed I explained. Why would he get angry simply because you talked about his dad, mum asked, cos he's dead I replied, oh such a pity, don't worry my child, you could just apologise tomorrow Okay she said, okay mum I replied, oh no am getting late I need to prepare, see you when am back mum I said running into my room to get dressed.

I'm really not in my best mood now, I can't believe I got angry that easily just because she talked about dad, yeah I hate to be reminded of him I miss him so much, he was the kind of father every one would like to have now she's gonna think am a terrible person who gets angry easily I can't wait to get to the classroom.

What the heck, what's this b***h doing sitting on Nelly seat and why is Nelly sitting on hers, oh their tables were swapped too, I took a last look at Nelly before I proceeded to my chair,why is Nelly head down, is she crying, just hope it isn't what am thinking.

I can't even concentrate on what the teacher is teaching, I think I need to step out, I kept on thinking of what could have happened in the morning before I arrived.

The lecturer seems not to end today so I excused my self from the class and went in to my office, yeah I actually have an office, it was actually dad's own but now he's gone 3rd it belongs to me. I scrolled down to my class from the system, Nelly was the first student to enter class, she sat down on her seat close to mine, she was there until Derrick came inn wait why do they look so engrossed in what ever they are talking about, she's even laughing, I must know with that I added the volume, good, they aren't even talking anything important so I fast-forward it, oh my Debbie is coming in to the classroom. She walked up to Nelly seat hey good morning Nelly greeted cheerfully, morning dear, I want you to vacate this seat because it belongs to me she said icely, but this my desk as a matter of fact my books are inside this desk Nelly defended, you know am trying to be nice here and now I want you to take your stupid desk out Debbie shouted. This isn't right you know, who the hell are you to tell me where to sit huh Nelly challenged, this Nelly s really giving me joy with the manner she's defending her self I can see she's no easy going person. After several arguments Nelly finally succumbed and took her desk our, now I get it, my suspicions were right, am sure going to teach her the way to hell, how dare she make what is mine uncomfortable, I need to talk to Nelly, I miss her moreover it's already break period. I know you sound too possessive when I said my Nelly but the truth is that am in love,can't just wait to officially announce her as mine, to wake up every morning remembering I have some one like her in my life, to hold her to my chest and whisper some love riddles in her ear.

.

When I entered the classroom only Nelly was inn, the rest must have gone out to have lunch, maybe she can't afford the meal in this school eatery, I whispered to my both guards ear and they left immediately. Hi she said taking up her head from the desk, hey I replied, this is just what am looking for only she and I are here, am sorry for yesterday, she apologised, it's fine I replied. Why did you leave your seat I asked, nothing, just wanted to change she lied, why I asked not looking at her direction, nothing really just wanted not to make you uncomfortable she lied once again, I hate it much when someone lies to me, why is she getting on my nerves, you know one thing I hate in this life is lies, I dunno why you're doing this now...., the teacher left some exercise before leaving she said interrupting me, on a normal day she won't go free but now she have to cos I love her, she asked you to leave and you did I said bluntly. After getting the message she felt bad she lied, it was obvious, am s I lied, am just a new student here and I don't think it's right picking up issues on my second day, she replied, it's okay but don't lie to me next time cos I hate it okay I asked why is my emotions betraying me now.
