The betrayal and the real man

Chapter 3

The next day at school, sumayya went to the seniors section to check if nuruddeen is around but she didn't see him, she kept peeping at the window of the class but couldn't see him, one of Nuruddeen's class mate, yasmeen saw sumayya and ask her who she's looking for, sumayya said she's looking for senior Nuruddeen.

"What a beautiful girl you are. Is he your big brother?"

"No senior"

"Alright Nuruddeen is in the school library you can go meet him there"

Yasmeen is such a kind and good person, she wish she's beautiful like sumayya may be Nuruddeen wouldn't have rejected her. She confesses her love for him so that it won't be too late when they finish secondary school although they're in their finals which is ss3, and each one of them are writing Joint admission and matriculation board exams, that's why she confesses the love she have for him but unlickily he rejected by saying his heart has found someone, that if she had confess earlier before he met his heart he would have agreed.

Yasmeen didn't know that sumayya is the girl Nuruddeen likes, and he didn't even tell her who is the girl she likes, yasmeen being smart she decide to be just friends with Nuruddeen since he has already choosen someone else.

Sumayya went to the library during break time, she search for Nuruddeen and saw him by the corner sitting quietly and studying.

She approach him and greeted him.

"Sumayya how did you know am here"

"I went to your class but you wasn't there, one of your class mate told me you're at the library"

"What's his/her name?"

"Her name is senior yasmeen"

"You seem to call everyone senior"

"Is because you people are ahead of us and it good to respect those that are higher and older than us"

"That's very thoughtful of you junior sumayya"

Sumayya laughed at his statement.

"By the way summayya why did you get standing, perhaps do you want to be an army or airforce"

"She laughed again and said....." I will sit right away, it suits men better"

"This your smart words are making me to have goosebumps"

"Senior what's goosebumps? I know goose is like an animal, and Bumps is something that the government put on the road to slow peoples car down"

What she said made Nuruddeen laugh loudly making some of the student in library scrutinize them......" Summayya you're so kind I love this funny side of you, now I have to give you an assignment as your senior go and search on the meaning of goosebumps "

"Alright, senior nuruddeen,"

"After school wait for me at the gate I will take you to some plaza I know, I want to buy you a new phone"

"Thank you senior Nuruddeen"

"I don't know what to do with this beautiful junior she kept calling me senior Nuruddeen"

"Please senior I don't know what name to call you"

"If we are surrounded by people at school you can only call me senior but once we're out of school you can call me Nuruddeen okay"

"Yes senior"

"Alright are you still on short break or long break"

"Today is Thursday we're on long break"

Nuruddeen glance at his wrist watch and saw that it was 11:03 am. He told summayya that long break for junior classes normally start from 10:am to 11:am, that's 1hr and now it 11:03.

Summayya stood up quickly and said senior my long break is over I will return back to the class, see you at the gate"

He laughed a little by her statement, she makes him happy whenever he's with her. He likes her funny side. He ask her to search for the meaning of goosebumps to see if she can tell him, in that way he will know is she's a shy type or not.

Sumayya ran quickly to class and saw the English teacher inside, and the English teacher Mrs Esther is strict once she enters the class you're not allowed to enter. You just stay outside until she's done then you can come inside, summayya was not happy about her stupidity of not checking the time now she's going to stay outside.

When Nuruddeen came out of the library he remember that he hasn't given Mrs Esther the list of names of students that are competing with the bright collage, so he went to her office and the other teachers told him that she's taking jss3 English. He decide to go and give her the list because once she's done she won't return to the office but rather go home since it will be closing time by then.

He went to give Mrs Esther the list and saw summayya standing outside the class. He ask her why she's standing, she told him that Mrs Esther doesn't allow them to enter her class once she enters, it her fault for being late from the break.

He ask sumayya to follow behind his back, when they enter the class he greeted Mrs Esther and gave her the list, he begged Mrs Esther to allow summayya into the class because he was the one that made her late from coming back to the class.

Mrs Esther ask him what did he do that made summayya came back to class late. He said he sent her to buy him snacks he's at fault.

So Mrs Esther was okay with what he said, she allowed summayya and told her to go and sit.

The two trouble makers bilkisu and hajara, we're scared of Nuruddeen they couldn't even look him in the eye. Summayya was about to sit when hajara quickly came and clean summayya's sit and bilkisu return the things she had stolen from summayya's bag.

Nuruddeen told Mrs Esther what happened between summayya and those two trouble makers. Mrs Esther told them to come out as well as summayya. She ask them to apologize to summayya in front of the class and promise not to repeat that again.

Hajara and bilkisu promise not to repeat such a thing again.

When it was closing time Summayya met Nuruddeen at the gate and he insist to tell her mom before going to the plaza. When they arrive home, he greeted her Mom and ask for permission to take summayya to the plaza and buy her a new phone. Her mom was surprised, she ask Nuruddeen where he got money to buy summayya a phone. He told her that his Dad sends him some money every month.

"But my son you shouldn't have some that. What if your parents, finds out about this"

"Mam don't worry they won't know about it"

"Alright I wish you both safe and sound, take care of yourselves please don't take long so that your parent won't be worried"

"Ok Mam we won't take long"

Nurudden took her to some plaza and bought her two brand new phones and summayya was surprised by seeing two phone, he told her one is for her Mom and she was really grateful and happy that she forgot and hug him.
