Jafar

I came down from the car, looking at the school compound,I wave Dele goodbye and he nodded,igniting the engines and ride straight from the school compound

I was walking to my class when a familiar voice called my name

"Jaffar"

I turned and it was Sewa, surprised was an understatement,I was literally shocked,she was the last person I think I can ever converse with

"Hi"I don't know how to respond to her

"I am so sorry for not sending my condolence yesterday,I was occupied,how are you feeling"she asked with concerns written all over her face or maybe faking it

When did this one start

"Thanks"still short of words

"I hope that we can keep on looking out for each other"she said with hopes written all over her face

"Sure"I smiled and she returned it,we went on our separate ways

Jamilah

It was a bright morning and I was already in the school thanks to dad,I went to Chi Chi's class

"Hey babe, what's up?"

"I'm fine,just wanna say hi this morning"I replied curtly

"Thanks dear, let's get ready for the school assembly,what do you think?"Chi Chi asked

"Yeah,lemme drop my school bag first,I will join you"

"Okay"I went back to my class and dropped my bag,I saw Jaffar's bag also on his seat

So he is already in the school

I went back to Chi Chi and we walked hand in hand to the school Hall,we sat down and soon enough Jaffar and a short slim pretty girl came to the front of the assembly joining Mr Chuks standing at the back of the school lectern

"Who is she?"I asked Chi Chi

"She is in my class,Davina the assistant head prefect girl"she replied

"She must be very good"

"Yeah she is,the only lady I respect in my class,I will be on duty tomorrow"she said cheerfully

"Why so happy?"I find nothing amusing about it

"My first time of conducting the assembly it's gonna be a boom, though stuck with my step brother,no joy can be guaranteed"she was down after saying the last lines

"Step brother?"I was surprised,I thought christians don't marry more than one wife

"I am an illegal child and not proud of it"she said with so much irritation

"Oops, I'm sorry"

"It's okay,his name is Charles a friend of Fawzan,one of your class mate you should notice him already"

"I came here Monday and today is just Wednesday remember,I can't know every body"

"It's true,you will get to notice him soon,he is handsome and fair in complexion, disturbing every single girl and breaking their hearts,he is the Labour prefect boy"

"So you are the Labour prefect girl?"

"Yeah"

"How come you are illegal"

"I'm a child born out of secret affair between a boss and an house help, that's why Charles hates me a lot,I am use to it"

"Don't let it bother you,with time you guys will be close for sure"

"Whatever, let's concentrate on this damn time wasting assembly"she smiled at me adjusting her glasses

I smiled back at her and look back at the assembly ground,my eyes landed on Jaffar and it seems he as been looking at me too,I frowned immediately and he looked away

He was looking so dashing this morning,his uniform was well ironed and fitted his dark skin very much,his hair was curly black and don't let me talk about the face you will get so indulge and lost

The assembly ended successfully and we all went back to our class,i went to my seat and sat down quietly,soon enough Jaffar came to the class and sat beside me,I ignored him and brought out my phone

"Good morning"

Almighty Jafar stoop so low to greet a commoner like me

I ignored him

"Hey! I'm greeting you"I rolled my eyes and finally answered

"Did you lost your memory or what?"he was shocked like he didn't expect that coming

"Don't ever meddle in my affairs again and get lost,did you forget your words easily?"I cock my brows giving him rabbit fingers

"Don't get me wrong"

"I am not getting you wrong,it was your saying"

The English teacher entered the class

"We need to talk"he said with so much anxiety

"You can see I have a class to attend"I took my English note and faced the teacher

"Excuse me ma,I was called to the staff room with Jamilah can you please permit us to leave the class"Jaffar asked the teacher and I was beyond shocked praying she wouldn't permit us

"Okay, don't take long and come back to the class"

Why did this woman permitted us

"Thanks"Jaffar said pulling me up and I was too shock to talk,we left the class to a quiet place

"What's the meaning of this?"I was kinda angry

"Let's talk"he placed his hands on his pocket

"Talk about what?"I rolled my eyes

"It's not good to keep malice and as a good Muslim we should know that"I laughed with no humor

"Did religion also permit you to talk rashly with someone that is trying to help?"

"Stop making this hard for us"he sighed

"Hard?" I laughed with no humor again"you were the one that made it clear that I should stop interfering with your issues and the best way I can do that is by assuming you don't exist"I stood akimbo looking up to meet the level of his eyes

"Okay,scratch that, I'm sorry"he scratched the back of his head"I was going through a bad time and lost control,I don't like keeping enemies"

"I don't see you as an enemy,just someone that I don't know,a stranger"I smirked and he chuckles

"I'm sorry, forgive me and let's be friends"he smiled

"I can only be a friend of yours if you tell me what happened"

"Can you forget about it, it's not important"he look unease and I feel like torturing him

"No,I won't I was planning to relocate from your seat today"

"You are not serious,you take this more than you should"

"Do I look like someone that is not serious,tell me what happened first then we can negotiate about being friends"he laughed

"Fine if you insist,I was grieving"he looked down and kicked a pebble

"Grieving?"I was confused

"Yeah, yesterday marked the third year I lost my mom"I was surprised

"I am sorry"I said moving a step closer to him and hold his hands without realizing it

"It's fine"he chuckled dryly,I realized I was holding him and I slowly release him

"So how did she die?"I realized I have step my boundary"never mind"I chuckled nervously

"It's fine,are you still angry with me?"he smiled and I love it

"No, it's fine"

"Friends?"he cocked his brow, raising his hand

"Yeah, friends"I shaked him and we both laughed

"I love your laughter"he said smiling

"So you can joke,with that your tight face"I tried to imitate him and he laughs

"I will be nice to my first girl friend"

"Seriously, I'm your first girl friend?"

"I use to have one  but we ended up in a term I can't call bad or good, let's say more like strangers,so i assumed we were never friends,you are my first"

"Aww!! I'm blushing"I said chuckling

"I'm such a flatterer"he said dusting away an imaginary dust from his collar

"You are funny, English class remember"

"Yeah let's get back to the class"

"Ok"

"Can you let me see your phone"I shrugged and gave it to him

"You can't even put a password in your phone"he said operating the phone

"Well,I have nothing to hide and I don't think anyone in this school is interested in my phone,well except you for now"

"You can have it back"he gave it to me and kept it back in my pocket,we went back to the class
