ELEENA

CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 4

Departing from school with my face covered down in guilt.

I couldn't stare at anyone "Eleena, what is wrong with you hun? Please don't feel horrible because of what transpired today in the classroom, It's not your fault Elee! Even if the whole class of scholars complains, it doesn't matter, I'm always here for you and I will keep doing that, It's the identical thing I always try to hold you out from because I know it will get worst with time if it's not handled!

And you know I do not want that to ever happen to you. you're already ripe for a relationship and it may transpire soon, who knows!? But then, I know it's not your fault that you are peaceful, reserved, and inexperienced. I also know you'll get over it Soonest. Brighten up, honey!" Sabrinka coddled me but I wouldn't just go over the stigma each time I flashed back to it. "Am I the only one who is born like this? Why does everybody want me to be like them? Don't I at least have the right to some peace for being the sort of person I am?" I unhappily asked. Sabrinka caressed my shoulder with her hands "Noo Eleena, You just have to be free and joyful with colleagues sometimes, you are too locked. Nobody wants you to be like them, And I can guarantee you that no one likes to intimidate you intensionally. You are possibly one of the most promising in our class, but you don't hang out with anyone in the camp except with me and ma'am Hitta, which is a hint of concern. So you compel everyone to think they don't deserve you. Just cheer up sweetie, Let's get to a Restaurant and have something to eat first, alright? common!" Okay Sabrinka, thank you for being there for me" "It's alright Eleena. Any time anywhere, I'll be there for u" She concluded.

"Hey! Hey! Please wait Sabrinka, Sabrinka, Please hold up!"

We were just nearly to leave when Walker Franchi stopped us. Remember the guy peeping through the window? Secretly admiring me during our civil studies?

He probably saw how I was embarrassed. This made me more uncomfortable. I solely glimpsed the floor when he came. He knew Sabrinka so well, so he started a chat with her " How are you Sabrinka?" he asked. "Am fine Franchi. Thank you, you look good!" Sabrinka replied. He smiled "You are not bad either" They both grinned.

"I can notice u are leaving already" he enquired."Yes Franchi. We're presiding to a cafeteria right now". It got him eager, "wow! So eemmm, is it okay if I should join you guys? That's if u don't mind!?" He asked cheerily,

"Oh yeah, why not? you can" Franchi seemed to have succeeded, I couldn't say a word. "I'll like us to use my car then, it's apparent your driver isn't here yet" Franchi pleaded " Okay, you got it, shall we?".Sabrinka permitted him "Oh yeah! right away" Franchi felt so excited, he opened up the car and let us both into it. It is a truly hard day for me. I won't even stop marveling, "Why would Sabrinka give in to the guy's plea just like that!?" Everything that resulted made me feel like vanishing into my room instantly.

My wish throughout the day after such big remorse from my fellow scholars was to get home as quickly as probable and confine myself. Already heading to a lunchroom when I had lost my taste for food, nothing was further delightful again than getting home. I exhibited to Sabrinka many covered signs that I needed to steer home. She already discerned my problem, so she ignored me. Franchi could notice our hidden dialogue, "girls thing". " Sabrinka

are u both okay?" "Yes we are", she replied "Why?" Franchi illustrated; "Since, at the camp when we began speaking, your friend hasn't whispered a word. Is she good?" " Yes, Eleena is fine, she's just tired" Sabrinka covered up for me "Oh I see, she has such a fine name, Eleena!" He smiled. Sabrinka pinched me to say thank you for his praises because I still didn't utter a word. I had no option but to concede. "Aw!! Eleena, you also have such a beautiful voice!" I sat silent still, Sabrinka squashed me again to react. I almost evaporated from the car. It was just too much stress for me.

"Eleena, why are you so moody? and you aren't dining either, are you not hungry? " Sabrinka enquired "Am fine. Something just moved through my mind, but it's nothing to worry about" I deluded to be fine, but wide in me, I was not and Sabrinka perceived why, She was merely playing along. Franchi freed his throat, " Eleena, I know you saw me peeping through the window even before everything took place, the humiliation and more but let me confide you a secret... That dude who referred to you to be the most uneventful person he has ever seen fancies you" I Paused drinking my goblet of cream liquid because of the shock. Sabrinka couldn't speculate it as well. Franchi continued, "Yes Eleena, He's my comrade. We live in the same area and I never realized it was you because I have never noticed you. It was your name that propelled me to admit it was you he's been conversing about. We often had rest for brief vacations in which we shared confidences. He never ceased speaking of your name. He has intended to convene you so multiple times but you constantly act too urgent and scarcely talk with anyone else except your friend here, Sabrinka. He worried you would not succumb to him but deeply, he's starving for you and it's the emotion to communicate himself to you which you never noticed that compelled him do what he did". "Wait for an instant! are you teasing or what!?" Sabrinka asked him "I am serious and I'm confident it's her he kept chatting about to us". Difficult to assume someone was falling in love with me. I didn't know how it felt to like someone! It all sounded a little hard to believe, but in the right middle of me, I felt slightly at ease. I knew no one would even admire a frigid someone like me because they all saw me as an alien, a strange human. It was a nice feeling anyway.

Two days had been enacted already. I nonetheless couldn't avoid thinking of what resulted in school right up to the unknown revealed at the eatery. I reflected on it again and over again in my room. Daddy called downstairs. It's Mr. Zincko, he has fetched goodies for us just as often " Oh my dear Eleena, how are you?" he asked "Am fine Mr. Zincko" I responded. "You grow so quickly and incredibly beautiful day after day" Excitingly he acclaimed me " Thank you Mr. Zincko, You are welcome once again. What can we offer you Uncle Zincko?" I asked "Uncle? why are u naming me Uncle? Am I too hefty according to you Eleena?" He was speaking and tossing his hands and fingers like a woman. " Eleena you know my name is Zincko, so u can directly call me Zincko the sweet boy," he said stylishly "See I got u chocolates". "Oh thank you Mr. Zincko", I appreciated but he frowned, I recalled he urged me to address him as " Zincko the sweet boy". "Am sorry! Thank you Zincko the sweet boy" He now felt happy.

" Mr. Zincko was thirty-two years but he preferred I address him "Zincko the sweet boy" Don't I have to implore him why he preferred it that way?

"No, I'll do it another day," I thought.

My phone was jingled shortly after he left,

It's Sabrinka " Hello Eleena, how are you doing? I just want to notify you that I will pick you up tomorrow at sunset. We're attending a party, please don't forget and do not contend okay!? You should get yourself prepared hereafter, at 6 pm, I'll pick you up. Have a pleasant day, Bye Eleena!!"

Did she say a party? "I have never been to a festivity before!

how will I commence it? This is going to be yet another horrible time for me", I assumed and began shaking. It sounded really strange like I just entered a new planet, just the thought of it left me shivering.
