chapter 26

Tomiwa POV

The dreaded moment of being an SS3 student was finally coming in close. We were all preparing   for our WAEC and NECO exams coming up the following month staring with our WAEC first. This was to begin two Mondays from now, but that was the least of my worries. All I could think of at that time being was how not to get pregnant.

Ever since I realize what Daniel Egiro did to me, I've been so out of shape. The fear of getting pregnant was all that was on my mind. The sad part was I could not go to the hospital to do check up. I really wanted to but I am under age so If I walked into any pharmacy or hospital saying I wanted to do a pregnancy test - phew I don't even want to think about it at all. I just hope for the sake of my broke ass, my period shows up.

"Hey Tomima what's up? You look a little blue. You sure you don't want baba blue?"

Ebuka said with excitement and I looked at him with a death glare shutting him up in an instance. He cleared his throat and I looked away, focused on my book. I could feel his heated gaze on me and it was making me uncomfortable. I groaned and looked at him sharply before saying.

"Hey quite staring at me! I am not some art work you should stare at!"

I shunned him and all he did was open and close his month like a fish out of water.  I could see the hurt evident in his eyes and it was suffocating  to look at so I looked away, regretting my action of yelling at him like that. He looked away from me and I felt my heart squeeze. I really didn't like how I shunned him like that, all because I was in a bad mood. I still am but that doesn't give me a right to talk to him like that.

At least I should appreciate that it's thanks to him I have friends I can count out. Friends that I keep disappointing no matter how hard I tried. It just isn't fair. All I want was a normal life but sadly I am blessed with being an orphan, believe me, it suck and I can't even open up to the people I call friends fearing what they would think of me if I told them I was an orphan. Realizing I made a mistake yelling at him, I wanted to turn to him to apologize but before I could the biology teacher showed up.

"Good morning students. I apologize for the delay. I am aware that your exams are fast approaching and so today we would be doing revisions."

Some were happy about it and some were not, some  preferred to do absolutely nothing . She ignored our groans of displeasure as she carried on with the revisions. The class was going on just fine until I felt something between my legs, immediately I was excited. My mood brightened and I raised  my hands to signal the teacher that I wanted to use the restroom. I got there and entered one of the stalls, and pulled down my panties, only to notice that it was just vaginal discharge.

I was disappointed. My period was due this month already and all I keep getting was vaginal discharge. Why won't my period come? It's 3 days late already. I peed and cleaned myself before heading for the wash hand basin to wash my hand. I wasn't done when Emmanuella walked in a smile on her face, but I knew a fake smile when I see one.

"Hi Tomiwa, been tough to get your attention this days. Exams right?"

"Umm yea— I guess." I responded with a shrug before making an attempt to leave the restroom. I've been here long enough and I just wanted to be in the comfort of my class. She held my arm to stop me from going and I sighed, wondering what the matter was. I smiled at her, a fake smile of course before saying...

"Any problem Emma? I have a class to get to."

"You know what - listen, Ebuka is like a brother to me and I take things that involve him very seriously. Now if you know you don't like him, or if you know you won't regard him or his feelings that he has for you, then please go make yourself useful somewhere else." She said. Her tone was strong with authority as she looked me straight in the eyes without blinking at all.

For a minute my eye darted to the badge she was wearing proudly on her chest. Damn! It been a while I sat with them to hang out or even eat with them during lunch. I guess she is also upset about that too. I sighed, knowing I had bigger problem to solve at the moment but since I am not one to ask for help, I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to talk about it further.

"Hello? Earth to Tomiwa! Did you hear what I said?"

"Yea yea, sure thing head girl. I got it."

I said before leaving her in the restroom. Who the hell does Emmanuella think she is? Talking to me like I was a JSS3 students. It's not her fault. I blame myself for joining this school and jumping at the offer of transferring here. I went to my class to meet it in a frenzy of activities. I guess we are all rushing to the lab so we can get a good seat for our chemistry practical. I packed my things and headed to the lab making sure to avoid Ebuka. Usually we would go hand in hand but not any more not with what Emmanuella has said. Not with what I said to him personally.

I got to the lab just in time to see Ebuka seated and beside him was the only free seat available. I groaned inwardly before going to occupy the seat beside him. I felt him tense up beside me and I regretted sitting there. Its not like I had that much of a choice. I just made sure I didn't turn his direction or look at him at all. I just focused on reading my chemistry note before the teacher arrived. 

"Omo it's like the chemistry teacher isn't coming oo."

Joan the class capitan came to announce 30 Minutes After the class was supposed to start. She is one of the few that welcomed me with open arms during my first week here. I also recognized her as one of the back up dancers during the DGT competition. Everyone went about mingling with there friend while I focused on reading —even thou I knew it was futile. I was still too distracted by the thoughts of getting pregnant, and the noise my classmates were making wasn't helping matters.

We were young
Posters on the wall
Praying we're the ones
That the teacher wouldn't call
We would stare at each other
'Cause we were always in trouble

I finally looked up from my book when I heard the voice of someone singing. I knew the song sounded familiar but I couldn't recall the name of the song. I just  gave up on reading. Its not like what I was reading was entering anyway. I looked at Joan and saw she was the one singing the song.

And all the cool kids
Did their own thing
I was on the outside
Always looking in
Yeah, I was there but I wasn't
They never really cared if I wasn't

She smiled at me when our eyes connected. I smiled back remembering the few conversations we had, and her mentioning along the line that she had a twin sister named Jodee in Wesley Academy. She nodded at me beckoning on me to sing along. I knew the song by heart, I had listen to it a few time but I was not in the singing mood.

"Nah I'll pass. I'm good."

I said completely forgetting that Ebuka was right next to me. He cleared his throat gaining our attention. Without warning he sang the next line which happened to be the chorus and Joan sang along, maintaining eye contact with Ebuka.

We all need that someone
Who gets you like no one else
Right when you need it the most
We all need a soul to rely on
A shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows

The eye contact was maintained and I couldn't help as my eye hovered between the two of them. I don't know if it was my eyes or maybe I was imagining things but I could have sworn I saw sparks fly. At that moment I felt my heart feel a kind of pain in chest. I just couldn't look away as I felt a pang of jealousy.

I'm not gonna make it a-la
I'm not gonna make it a-la
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone
I'm not gonna make it a-la
La la la la la la
La la la la la –lone

I couldn't take it. It was obvious that there were some unspoken feeling this two had for each other, and I just looked and felt like the third will seeing them sing like this

'Cause you are that someone
That gets me like no one else
Right when I need it the most
And I'll be the one you rely on
A shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows

I'm not gonna make it a-la

I did wait or continue watching. in that moment the word 'alone' came to my head. I knew at that point that the word 'alone' wasn't just the title of the song they were singing, but it describes and shows me that indeed I was Alone. I ran out of the lab wanting to get as far away as I could from the lab and from them. I wasn't looking at where I was going and I unintentionally bumped into Victoria.

Great ! here we go again

I thought as I rolled my eyes at her. She glared at me like I was the evil villain. Does she look at her face whenever she was glaring? I don't think so because if she does she would know glaring doesn't suit her.

" Whao! Just whao! So you've grown wings so big that you can't apologize when you push someone down?"

"Umm I am so—"

"No no don't worry. Keep your apology to yourself.
It's obvious you don't know who I am because if you do. Hmmm... oh lawd let me not talk."

I rolled my eyes at her arguing. I kukuma wanted to apologize she was the one that said I shouldn't. Why was she now complaining and barking at me now.

"Oh Whao! You have the guts to roll your eyes at me. Hmm it's your boldness for me oo, you think you can waltz into the school and steal my man? Hmm well you are wrong. Be doing like one dainty princess there. You think I don't know your secret? Hmmm? Do you really think you this worthless orphan can challenge me—"

I zoned out on her words. She just called me an orphan in the middle of the whole school. I couldn't breathe as I found it difficult to keep my breathing the normal level. We both know that no matter what was thrown at me I was also fighting back. This is the one time Victoria was insulting me literally in front of the whole school and I was crushed. I was  really crushed and too numb to react. I didn't even flick.  All that was on my mind was a question I would really like her to answer.

How did she know I was an orphan?

"That enough! Victoria you've said enough. Just leave the poor girl alone."

Ebuka  said. He was here. How did he get here so fast? I thought he was in the lab with his new girlfriend Joan. Did he notice anything? I am sure he noticed. He just called me poor girl. Ha! How Ironic. I am sure it was because he heard Victoria call me an orphan that was why he used the adjective 'poor girl' to address me. He had a sad look in his eyes, actually it was the one of pity and I didn't like it. Before he could come close to touch or comfort me I said in a low and dangerous tone.

"Don't even think about it"
