Chapter Two
1760 Words
Kayinsola is average in height with perfect skin, her light skin always seemed to radiate whenever you gazed at her.
Hmmm..... Her full pink lips were too die for and what a body she possessed. Her petite stature and her tight little body is really something die for.
In addition to her perfect skin and hot body she was really smart, like amongst the top student in her class smart.
who wouldn't like a girl with looks a hot body and smarts? Exactly my point.
But for some strange reason we weren't friends, not like I offended her in anyway.
And you guessed it Timilehyin was the reason she had issues with me. Turns out she's head over heels for him which she openly admitted on several occasions but Timmy really doesn't show her as much attention as she would like hence the for myself and Dapo.
And frankly, Dapo really doesn't like her.
It was like she knew I was staring at her the entire time cos she just turned towards my direction casting a scornfully gaze my way. I looked away not wanting trouble.
The crowd cheered loudly as the boys got back on the field to begin the second half having enjoyed first half of football.
Dapo's pov
Looks to me like the SS1 students had a solid game plan coming into the second half making the first substitution just before the second half began.
Timmy was playing further forward than he did in the first half. Bad news for the opposition defense.
Immediately the ref blew his whistle, it took the ss1 students just five minute to level the scores.
Timmy's cheeky lob through the crowded box was meet by AZ's head and this time the cross bar couldn't come to the goal keeper's aid.
Talk about a solid game plan. Win the ball and attack in numbers.
My sister flew out of her seat immediately the ball had gone in as the crowd screamed in excitement, the energy here was intense from both male and female spectators.
Coach Racheal clapped in a manner which suggested she enjoyed that piece of play from the team.
"TIMMY!!!! TIMMY!!!! TIMMY......" The female supporters in the crowd began chanting. The kid was a star.
Soon after the SS1 students had the crowd jumping for joy yet again with another goal.
Tosin's ambitious cross into the box was chased down by Timmy who chested the ball down for Yemi the striker too score.
What a hit that was. He caught that cleanly. Nothing the goal keeper could do about that strike except to stop and watch.
The SS2 students equalized moments later from a corner kick, Emperor rose highest in the box to meet that with his head.
All gloom on the faces of the ss1 students immediately the ball went it but Timmy was animated on the field boosting their moral as the crowd celebrated that goal.
The ss2 students were content with a draw switching to an all out defense tactics while the ss1 students felt like the game was still with in their grasp committing men forward with Timmy and two other defenders at the back.
All the long balls Timmy sent into the box kept were either intercepted by the opposition defense or where too long.
Five minute of added time shown on the board which meant the ss1 students needed a trick from the magicians hat if they really wanted to win this game.
The goal keepers kept everyone on their toes making fantastic saves to keep the game tied.
One minute before the ref blew the final whistle and a passing move began from the midfield with Timmy.
Everyone watched as they began making ground beating one. Two. Three. Four players in that compact eighteen yard box.
And then it happened.
A misplaced pass knocked out of the box by a defender fell perfectly on the left foot of Timmy which he struck cleanly.
The whole crowd watched as the ball traveled into the air, every breath could be heard from around the stadium. You could literally capture this moment in a single shot.
The crowd watch on as the traveling ball came off the underside of the cross bar before going in.
Everyone present in that stadium leaped for joy as some students ran out unto the field immediately that shot went in. The ref hadn't blown the final whistle but they didn't care.
Coach Racheal watched on with her hands in her hair like she had just been visited by something divine on account of the goal she had just witnessed.
"TIMMY!!!! TIMMY!!!! TIMMY!!!!!" Echoed all around the stadium with his teammates hoisting him up into the air. That's my brother right there.
My sister had run off unto the field in excitement after the ball had gone in.
Glad she could get some exercise done since she really was bad at sports.
The ref finally blew the whistle to bring the game to a close after such end too end entertainment.
I made my way to the field swimming through a pool bodies just to make it on to the field.
I finally arrived to where the players were gathered, Jane was hugging the life out of AZ smiling like a female goat while Timmy laid on the grass I assume from exhaustion surrounded by girls from school.
"Just below the center?" I said sitting beside him.
"Just below the center brother." He replied as we fist pumped. The girls stared at us cluelessly with some rolling their eyes begging to understand our slang.
Although that sentence didn't mean much to them but to us we had a whole ten minute worth of conversation.
"Help me up." He said signaling to the girls for help.
"You're so heavy." They complained after it took five of them too actually pull him back to his feet.
The girls engaged him in their usual gist which was tiring if you ask me but Timmy always found them interesting.
"Timmy. This guy." Emperor said walking over. They both embraced.
"You dangerous oh. See as you give us wahala. Come play for school team you no go come."
"Baba I go try this year no worry."
"Oya na. Later." Emperor said before heading over to meet my sister. Another one of her secret admirers but she wouldn't know.
"Timmy. So glad too see you." Said a familiar voice from behind. I'd know that voice anywhere, it was Kayinsola.
I don't like her.
"Kayinsola. What's up?" They both embraced.
"You're looking beautiful oh." He added.
"Thank you." She replied blushing at this point. I just watched them walk a few feet away before conversing about something.
"Little man." AZ said finally giving me an audience.
"What's up? How far Pelu?" I said. Pelu is short for Pelumi, she's in my class and AZ's sister.
"She dey jare. Hope say you enjoy the match?"
"Yes oh. That your header mad gan, na small remain make e comot." I said, Jane walked away leaving us to discuss.
Ifedayo's pov
I watched Timmy and Kayinsola talk about God know what and I wasn't interested to even know so I just kept my distance waiting for them to be done.
We arrived home and Dapo and Toyosi were already at each others throats outside the house like they always do.
Toyosi is one of Dapo's classmate and his friend, although they seemed too be arguing and bickering all was in good fun.
"I told you that I'll kiss that your so called brother one day." She said which had him laughing like he was possessed.
"Sorry but my brother has taste." He replied.
"I'm all kinds of flavor dear."
"The only flavor you exhibit is salinity."
"So you have jokes abi? Don't worry." She snapped her fingers at him. He kept on laughing.
She's is one of my if not my most favorite junior student after my brother in the school. She smart and beautiful. Never scared to voice out her thoughts which always got her in a lot of trouble.
What I admired about her the most was her composure. And you could clearly see it in the way she walked, talked and behaved. She has become the object off admiration in the eyes of some senior students especially some boys in my class since she came around occasionally.
Maybe let's leave that topic for another day.
"Ifedayo." Someone said walking out the door by my left.
"Aunty Yemisi." I yelled quickly embrassing her silm figure.
Yemisi is Toyosi's elder sister currently studying Law in the University of Ibadan.
"When did you get back?" I uttered excited to see her after months of schooling.
"Its been over thirty minute now." She replied joining me on the concrete stair case.
"How far your boyfriend? Any latest?" She was referring to Timmy.
"If you say He's not your boyfriend, I'll slap your fine face." She said stealing those words right from my mouth.
"Oya... He's fine since that's what you want to hear." I replied.
She was my go to babe when it came too anything gist related, we spoke about school, relationship and a lot of issues trending around town.
I usually send her some cash when she had nothing in school.
"So have you guys done it yet?" She inquired lowering her voice.
"No we haven't done it." I replied.
"You know if you kiss him he won't hurt you sha." She said.
"Aunty Yemisi don't corrupt me oh abeg." I said trying to free myself from her hold.
"Be deceiving yourself bad child." She said after I got away.
"Where is mummy?" She said referring to my mom.
"Work." I replied.
"I get plenty gist for you." She said which caught my attention. I quickly rushed to sit beside her.
Come too think of it she wasn't wrong. Timmy and I have been in countless situations when we could have kissed but I always ruin the moment.
We had one when we were in Js2 and the most recent experience happened the night before he traveled.
I had gone over to his place too help him get ready when I walked over to his wardrobe to pick up something, I bumped into him immediately I turned around.
He had his arm around my waist preventing me from falling into the wardrobe. "Take it easy." He said softly and as if by gravity our faces slowly inched closer and closer till I panicked dropping the shoe on his foot.
Ouch!!!!
