Brianna Anthony

   I blinked back the tears that threatened to spill as I sat on the toilet seat, I ran my hands through my short hair frustration and anger.

He's here

David's here!

So he thinks he can just barge into my life anyhow he wants ba?

I bit my lower lip to prevent the scream building up in me.

Honestly it feels so surreal like it's so hard to believe he's really here! It feels like I'm in a weird dream or something like that, its incredible.

How could he just show up all of a sudden? Just when I thought I had gotten over the heartbreak and forgotten all about him.

He just showed up and ruined everything, emotions I had tried to bury the past months came back with full force.

A tear slid down my left cheek, I subconsciously wiped it off with my left hand, I stared at the tear in my hand blankly.

I was crying but I couldn't understand why? I thought I had stopped crying over him a long time ago.

Honestly it still hurts, like mad. I had to watch him date Becca after I had confessed my feelings to him and he rejected me flat out, hell he even made fun of me with his friends.

But still part of me was still wishing he came because of me, while a bigger part of me was trying to stay angry at him.

So you can see that I'm a confused human being.

I heard footsteps outside and I paused listening to know who it was, after some minutes I heard a knock on the door.

"Osinachi" Funke's voice called softly.

I sniffled in reply

"Are you in there?" She asked gently.

I sniffled in reply

"Osinachi is that you?" She asked again her voice rising a little higher than before.

She didn't wait for me to sniffle in reply this time, the door flung open revealing her slim figure she rushed inside bending beside me.

"Ossy are you crying?" She asked calmly, there was hint of anger in her voice.

I stared blankly at her another tear running down my right cheek.

"Don't tell me it's because of that good for nothing idiot you're crying" she asked

I stared ahead not bothering to answer her, wiping the other tear that escaped my eyelids.

She sighed deeply "Ossy..." She started softly, her left hand moving to touch my cheeks "How many times will I tell you that heartless fool does not deserve your tears? He's not worth it Ossy" she said gently.

I slowly removed her hands from my cheeks and turned my face away from her.

"But... What... what if " my voice came out hoarse breaking at each word I said, my eyes watering.

" 'What if what' Ossy?" She asked raising her voice in frustration running her hands furiously through her hair.

"What if he came back for me?" I asked with hope, just maybe everything would be fine if he'd just love me back.

Her eyes widened in disbelief and incredulity and she stood up abruptly "What are you saying?" She cried in astonishment.

"Please just tell me you're joking, You're joking right?"

"I'm not, what if he finally loves me back?" I asked hopefully sitting up straight, my eyes lighting up.

"Kai! Ma gba e le ti oo, kilode ti o lopolo ehn? When will you have sense?" Funke flared up

"If he loves you back unco? Wait" she paused calming down looking at me with burning curiosity "Don't tell me still haven't gotten over that pathetic excuse of a human being" she said placing emphasis on still.

I looked away suddenly finding my fingers interesting as I played with it, I swallow the lump in my throat, she thought I had gotten over him since I was hell bent on being angry at him and trying to suppress my feelings for him, I even joined her in calling him names which was rare because before then everyone knew better than to insult him in front of me if not I would fry their head.

She groaned hitting her forehead with a palm.

"Brianna Osinachi Anthony!" She said gritting her teeth, I looked at her sheepishly, she only calls my full name when she's angry or serious.

"What will I do with this girl, God!" She exclaimed hitting her forehead.

"So if he just walks up to you and proclaim his undying love for you, you're gonna forgive him?"

"Yes, in a heartbeat" I said without thinking.

Her mouth dropped open in disbelief "Just like that?"

  "Hmm" I replied shaking my head vigorously to make my point clear.

"Who are you?"

"Brianna?" I replied confused as to why she was asking me that.

"Are you high? Wait have been taking drugs?" She asked with an incredulous tone.

"No" I drawled looking at her as if she had grown two horns

"Or it's fever that is doing you" she said using her placing her palm on my forehead in a bid to check my temperature, I swatted her hand off my head glaring at her

"I'm... fine?" I asked unsurely watching her carefully.

"No you are not fine, so you mean you're willing to give that inconsiderate jerk" I winced at that "A second chance after all he did to you? Wait oh did someone tamper with your brain? Won ti gba opolo e abi?" She asked demonstrating with her hands the is something wrong with you? gesture for emphasis

I stared at her "But...." I started saying but she cut me off Immediately

"So you just gonna let him walk over you like that, just how stupid can you be Ossy? We're talking about a guy that humiliated you in front of practically the whole school, a guy that took advantage of your feelings, a guy that went ahead to date Becca and still had the effrontery to rub his relationship in you face and suddenly he shows up from nowhere you just gonna run into his arms just like that?  Is he really worth it? Tell me Ossy, that you're just gonna welcome him with open arms without him actually trying, Why do you do this Ossy? Tell me Why?" She asked casting me a curious glance.

Her words actually made me do a rethink, Is he really worth it? After all he had done to me, the nights I cried myself to sleep because of him, the ache in my heart when ever I saw him and Becca and chasing him for two whole years. And it boiled down to one question

Why?

I haven't really thought of that, the more I thought of it the more confused I became. Funke's burning gaze reminded me that she was waiting for her answer.

I sat there brows furrowed, staring into space with arms folded, my mind reeling with different thoughts it was like I was holding a press conference in my d**n head but at the end of the day I still couldn't come up with a tangible answer.

Funke was patiently waiting for my answer, she was leaning on the door her legs tapping the floor gently while staring at me intently.

I gave up after some minutes of ransacking my brain and coming up with nothing.

"Because I love him?" I offered pathetically, what I would had said six months ago, wincing when she glared at me and I'm not talking about a playful glare, like she really glared at me.

She scowled at me "I wouldn't say you love him, what you had for him is obsession" she said enunciating the words as if she was talking to a primary school student. "Although I think It's kinda better now" she added thoughtfully after some seconds, examining me carefully.

"It wasn't that bad" I choked out squirming under her scrutinizing gaze.

She scoffed "when was he born?"

"Sept 12 2003" I answered without blinking.

"His favourite colour?"

"Red"

"Favourite food?"

"Jollof rice"

"Hobbies?"

"Football, video games, cooking, listening to music, writing and reading" I answered in one breath.

"Favourite snack?"

"Coke and Egg roll why?"

"And you say you weren't obsessed with him?"

"Erm... "

"You stalked him on Instagram, Facebook, twitter and every thing stalkable, every day you could tell what he wore even down to the colour of shoes he wore and you say you weren't obsessed with him? Your gallery consisted of mostly his pictures, you sang his praises every minute of the day. Seriously if that isn't obsession then I don't know what it is" she completed sighing in exasperation.

I scowled cringing inwardly, it still wasn't that bad, right?

"See we're having class now let's go" she said walking out of the bathroom, she paused when she got to the door and realised I wasn't behind her "You're coming or not?"

I stood up immediately following her

"Take this, you look horrible" she said handing me a handkerchief I didn't notice she was holding.

"Awwn" I cooed taking the handkerchief from her and using it to wipe my skirt "Aren't you the best best friend in the world?" I asked dramatically, batting my eyelashes

"Ode!" She exclaimed playfully smacking me on my head, I laughed fixing my skirt and straightening my shirt as we walked towards the class.

Barely had we reached the class when a student came running to towards us.

It seemed like she had been running for a while because she was a little out of breath panting heavily.

"Senior Funke I've been looking for you since!"

"Why?" She asked perplexed

"The principal is calling you"
