Nifemi's POV

Darn everything!!

Including this school and that woman.

I laid on the chairs I had put together in the empty library, to make my private bedroom.

I couldn't help but think about what had happened today. I felt my anger refuel itself once I think back to that moment.

I felt tears cloud my eyes as I remembered her last words to me.

If you don't want to end up with your mother, you better hand me that ATM and password as soon as you get back.

Who the hell is she to bring my mother into this?!

I never actually knew her but I am sure as hell that if she was here, she would not let this woman treat me like crap.

I tried to shake the thoughts off as I reached for my book and hovered it above my face, trying to grasp something but my thoughts found it's way back again.

"Jeeez, Nifemi!! Concentrate."I forced myself, knowing fully well that our test week was just around the corner.

I definitely needed to buckle up.

After so many failed attempts in getting myself to read, I gave up, placing the book on my face, deciding to just calm myself down.

I heard the door of the library open as a sigh escaped my lips before I yelled.

"Come back after classes!" I yelled out but was disappointed when it only came out in a muffle due to the book pressed against my lips.

My class had a free period and my classmates are busy doing something stupid, presently.

So, I'm sure it must be some junior running away from class due to an undone assignment.

It was obvious I was ignored, when I heard light footstep, walk towards the chair, where my feet lazily laid on.

"Thankfully, I don't have any classes right now" I heard as it was obvious he said 'classesʼ in a girlish tone.

Oh, dear. Not him!

I removed the book from my face as I abruptly sat up, moving my feet to the ground, without forgetting to give him my well-known glare.

"Yeah, thankfully" I mumbled sitting straight and tidying up my books which were lying all over the place.

Please, leave.

I have had enough of his irritating face for one day.

"I never knew we could use the library as a private bedroom, or is it just you over-using your library prefect privileges?!" He asked as I rolled my eyes, clearly not in the mood, before stuffing most of my books into my bag, leaving the two I actually wanted to study.

"Run along. I'm not in the mood" I told him, not as audible as I would have wanted to sound.

I honestly wasn't in the mood. I just needed peace and quiet.

The last thing, I needed was him rambling nonsense to me.

Plus, I cannot stress this enough, HIS FACE IRRITATES ME.

He kept standing there despite the fact that I didn't spare him a glare.

I heard him scoff as his hand reached for the chair beside me as I widened my eyes, snapping my head towards him.

What the fuck are you doing?!

Go away!!

He moved towards the chair and slowly bent to sit down it before he could, my reflexes kicked in.

I suddenly kicked the chair away, with my right leg, sending both him and the chair hitting the ground, hard.

Ouchhh!

"Shitt!" He said as his butt painfully slammed against the floor, as his face formed into a wince.

My eyes widened as my right hand slapped against my mouth in surprise.

I was also taken aback by my own action.

I didn't actually want to do that, but I somehow had sent him falling down.

"Jeez, I didn't mean.." I started as words hung in my mouth as I realised who I was about to apologise to.

This is my enemy here.

He so deserves it.

I deserve an high-five.

His eyes stared at me in surprise as he clutched unto his back, which had hit one of the chair legs.

He sat there for a few seconds before attempting to stand up but winced before sitting back down on the floor.

"Darn it! I can forget about playing next week" He told himself as he rubbed his back, continuously.

"Whattt?!" I asked with my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

He looked towards me with a serious look as I couldn't help but burst out in full blown laughter.

I don't know, how what he had managed to crack me up.

What the actual fuck?!

I found myself laughing in front of this stupid jerk and I couldn't stop.

"Are you being serious?!" I asked as I snorted, before erupting in laughter again.

He just stared at me in a taken aback expression and there was this weird look he gave me as I tried to control my laughter.

Stop laughing, Nifemii!

Stoppp!!

I tried to hold back my laughter with a tight smile and I finally felt my laughter subsiding as I inhaled before speaking to him.

"C'mon, don't be dramatic" I told him, waving my right hand at him, as I bit my lower lip, as hard as I could to stop my laughter.

Why was I laughing?!

No idea.

Maybe the sight of the "finest boy in school", who is also the assistant head boy, was sitting on the floor, whining like a kid about how he was going to miss his game next week because a small fall.

Or maybe I was just proud of the fact that I had unknowingly pushed him unto the floor and hurt him.

Yes, it's probably that.

And not because he might have looked like a cute kid pouting after his sticked sweet had fallen into the gutter.

Definitely not.

He finally made another attempt to get up, which was successful this time.

He looked at me again as I could see the obvious smirk on his face, which definitely made my brain, come back to his senses.

A frown made it's way back to my face as I turned towards my book, hoping to ignore him till he leaves, but the sound of the bell stopped me.

I pushed the book in my hand into my bag before zipping it closed.

I noticed Ayomi walk away, as I sighed before getting up and swing the bag across my shoulders.

I adjusted my uniform before getting ready to head out but i felt my body freeze at the moist feeling on the tip of my fingers as my hands brushed against my skirt.

Shitt!!

I immediately knew what it was as I looked at the chair I had been sitting on as I noticed some faint red stains on it as I felt my heart pound loudly, at this sight.

Ohhh, dear.

What do I do?!

Before I could come up with a solution, the sound of a voice jolted me out of my thinking as I panicked.

"Ohhh, we should be heading to the project meeting" I heard him yell out before his footstep drew nearer again as i looked around in panic.

Sit down!!

Sit your fucking ass down!

I hurriedly plopped down unto the chair, tightening my fingers around each other nervously.

He came back with his hands in his pocket and a confused look on his face.

"I said we are having the general project discussion today" He told me again as I nodded, with my body all stiffed up on the chair and sweat trinkling down my forehead.

This was definitely embarrassing!

And I wished it was someone else I was stuck in this horrible situation with. Not Ayomi!!

If he found out, it would definitely be the next school gist.

I don't even know what happened.

How did I not notice?!

And how could this happen, just in a few hours?!

And what dumbass pad was this?!

I suddenly remembered me laughing so intently a few minutes ago and decided to conclude it was as a result of that.

But still, I just couldn't explain it.

How it happened should probably not be what I am supposed to think about, but the main question is :

HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT OF THIS?!

“Uhrm, okay. I'll catch up with you” I told him waving my hands at him dismissively.

He adjusted his stance and leaned slightly on the wall before looking at me in a questioning manner.

He probably noticed how tensed I looked right now.

Calm down, Nifemi.

Calm down.

“Why do I feel like you are planning to bail?!” He spoke with an unsure tone laced in his voice.

Whutttt?!

Boy, all I need right now is you, outta that freaking door.

“I said I won't” I replied which definitely came out as a yell as he widened his eyes slightly and twitched his lips, eyeing me suspiciously.

Breath, Nifemi.

Breathhhhh!!

“I promise I won't” I spoke but regretted as soon as the words left my mouth.

Promise?!

What the heck?!

“Promise?! Now, I know there is definitely something going on” He said as I sighed before folding my arms and looking at him, with a pleading face.

Abeg! Just go.

“I just need some few minutes alone. I don't feel so good” I told him as he paused and wiped his smirk off his face before peeling his back off the wall.

“Fine. But remember, we need to have this meeting, it's important” He told me before strolling out, popping a gum into his mouth.

I let out a sigh of relief but my head was quick to remind me it wasn't over.

I just needed to clean the chair up.

I remembered I had some wipes and was quick to wipe off the stains left on the chairs but what do I do about my skirt.

I barely left my jacket in the hostel, why did I leave it today.

I grabbed my bag and planned to strap it oddly around my waist in an attempt to hide the stain but it was a ridiculous plan.

What do I freaking do?!!!!

I untucked my shirt to cover it up but it wasn't long enough.

I just felt like screaming out in frustration.

I clutched my hands unto my head and brushing my fingers against my braids which was tied into a neat donut.

I heard the door swing back open and I hurriedly faced the door, in a silly attempt to hide the big stain at the back of my skirt.

Ayo strolled back in, closing the door lightly behind him.

Not him again!!

What was wrong with this dude?!

In a split second, he threw something towards me and it landed right on my face.

Covering the whole of my head as I just stood still, stunned by his action.

After a few seconds, I pulled the fabric off my face only to be faced by Ayo's retreating figure.

“What is this?!” I asked, loud enough for him to hear as I stood there holding his sports jacket in confusion.

“I'm sure you aren't blind, Femi” He told me  without sparing me a glance and walking out the door as I felt myself stare at the door for a few seconds before my brain started working again.

What was that?!

Did he know?!

Why did he give me this?!

I almost felt question marks floating around my head like I was in a cartoon as I tried to wrap my head around this occurrence.

We wore our normal uniforms today, and wrapping a sport jacket around my waist will seem odd but it still saved my ass.

If he knew, why did he act like he didn't and walked out?!

And was he cool with me wrapping his precious jacket around my blood stained skirt?!

Has he told everyone?!

Most importantly, why the fuck did he help me?!
