Chapter 9: Abbey Johnson
Today is Monday and the whole students and staff of Green hill college were currently at the assembly ground. The principal was dressed in a brown kaftan, with his usual amicable smile plastered on his face.
"Good morning fellow staff. Good morning students." The principal greeted.
"Good morning sir." we all replied in a chorus.
"How was your weekend."
"Fine sir," some answered while others I included couldn't be bothered to.
"Today I have nothing much to say, I just want to remind all of you to be cautious in this unprecedented period of insecurity in our town. After school go home directly don't branch off to somewhere else."
I was listening to the principal when I heard yusuf's voice behind me.
"What did you guys talked about." Yusuf asked.
"Nothing." I replied still staring at the principal.
I don't know why I even told Yusuf about Sarah's visit.
"Nothing? Are you telling me you guys just stare at each other the whole time."
I turn staring at yusuf.
"Yes, that's exactly what I am tell you." I snapped and Unfortunately it came out louder than I intended.
"I hope you boys don't mind sharing with us all what u are discussing." The principal said pointing at us.
"Nothing sir we were just discussing the best way to solve a formula we found in an old math text book." Yusuf hurriedly explains.
"Yes it's about solving a math formula." I smile.
"I suggest you boys leave your maths solving for later." The principal smile shaking his head slightly.
After the principal's warning Yusuf didn't bother me again but I know that will only last until after the assembly. The assembly continued as usual while I wait impatiently for it to end, i hate assembly.
After almost 15minutes of standing the assembly was finally over and we were allowed back to our classes.
"What were you about telll me before the principal interrupted us." Yusuf said following closely behind me.
I know Yusuf will not give up until he hears every single word we uttered.
"She was coming back from church so she decided to come check up on me." I said taking my seat.
"What are you guys talking about." Amin asked seating on my desk.
"Sarah visited him at home yesterday." Yusuf explain.
"I have always known that girl loves you, but why she broke up with you remains a mystery." Amin said with a shrug.
"That's in the past, I hope you guys will just drop the topic." I said with a frown.
"Abeg forget that guy. I no gist u self." Amin said to Yusuf.
"What is it,"
"At Abubakar's party I met a very beautiful girl, that girl is so beautiful she took my breath away the first time I saw her. I wish I will see her again." Amin said.
"You will never change." Yusuf smile while I snort.
"Guys am serious, I truly love this girl. If she becomes mine I will never look at another girl again." Amin said.
"What is the name of your breath taker." I smiled.
"Her name is isabella."
"What class is she in?" Yusuf asked.
"Bro am not even sure she attends this school, not to talk of her class."
Hearing Amin's reply I look towards Yusuf and I find him also looking at me, barely containing his laughter.
"But you have her contact right or maybe she told you her address." I asked. Hoping he will not say what I am expecting him to say.
"I would have asked her if not for your disappearance." Amin pointed at me.
Hearing Amin's answer I face palm myself while a mischievous smile creeps it's way to yusuf's face.
"Ehen," Yusuf scratches his head. "Did she forget anything?"
Hearing Yusuf's words I turn round covering my mouth to stop the laughter that was threatening to escape my lips.
"Forget something, like what?" Amin looks confusingly at Yusuf.
If only this boy reads a little bit more, I shake my head at the thought.
Assuming a more serious look, Yusuf reply. "Like her purse, or one of her earring or maybe she forgot one of her shoe. Yes it has to be her shoe."
I finally couldn't contain my laughter as it gush out of my throat. Amin looks confuse for a few seconds before realisation dawn upon him, making his brows crease in anger and helplessness.
"Go back to your seat, our maths teacher will soon be here." Amin said trying to change the subject.
"Come on man! I was just joking, but who knows it might just come true. You will find your Cinderella, and together you will live happily ever after." Yusuf said.
Amin was about to reply when our maths teacher walked into the class. We were ten minutes into mathematics when the vice principal walks in together with a young girl who I presume is a new student.
After a brief words with the maths teacher the vice principal walks out of the class. I suddenly feel a hand tapping on my laps rapidly, I turn towards Amin to ask what the problem was when I saw him still staring at the new student without blinking.
"She is the one," Amin whispers.
From the way he was looking at her I knew she is the girl from my party. The girl has an oval shaped face, a straight nose, bid eyes with long lashes and full lips adorned with a simple lip gloss. Without doubt she is by far the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my 16 short years on earth.
"Introduce yourself to the class." The maths teacher smiled.
"I am Abbey Johnson." The girl introduced herself.
√√
"I thought you said her name is Isabella." Yusuf ask as we sit at our favorite table in the cafeteria..
"Who is Isabella?." Hussain asked.
"How many times will I tell you to not Join in when we are having this type of conversation?" Yusuf looks towards Hussain.
"Sorry," Hussain smiled.
"That is what she told me at the party." Amin reply.
"So what are you going to do?" I asked.
"Find a way to talk to her." Amin smiles foolishly.
"I saw her sitting with Fati, maybe she can help you." Yusuf said.
"Wow!" Hussain exclaim. "Abubakar look at that beautiful girl."
Following Hussain's gaze we saw Abbey walking towards our table together with Fati. Amin straightens his white shirt before starting a random conversation.
"What are you guys talking about," Fati asked taking a seat close to Hussain, leaving the only empty seat remaining which is close to me for Abbey who also join us.
"Nothing, nothing." Amin smiles.
"This is my new friend Abbey, whom all of you except for Hussain already met. Abbey this is Abubakar my brother, Yusuf, Amin and, my favorite of the bunch Hussain. Isn't he cute?" Fati introduced.
"Hi you are really beautiful," Hussain said.
"Thank you." Abbey smiled.
"Nice to meet you," we all greeted.
"Trust me even if I did not introduce them, you would have still heard of them before school closes. So if you want to avoid trouble stay far away from these four boy." Fati warned.
"Fati why will you say that? You know we don't like trouble and anything relating to it."
"Yep that's the truth." I smiled. Which prompted a snort from Fati in reply.
"You moved here from Abuja," Amin asked.
"Yes." Abbey nodded.
"How is Abuja like?" Amin ask despite the fact that he has been to Abuja countless of times.
"It's beautiful and peaceful but can be very boring sometimes."
"Is Isabella like your middle name or something," Yusuf asked.
With Yusuf asking the question in our minds we all stare at her waiting her reply.
"No." Abbey reply.
Me and Yusuf stare at each other. Amin couldn't help but blurt out.
"But you said your name is Isabella."
"I lied." Abbey casually reply.
"Oh!" Yusuf exclaim.
"Then you were a stranger and I don't think it's a smart idea to tell a stranger my name." Abbey said.
"Have you guys met before?" Fati ask curiously.
"Yes at your brothers party." Amin reply.
"Abubakar you have to see this." Hussain said.
I turn and saw Maryam walking towards Sarah's table, when she got there without saying a single word she slaps Sarah across the face. Just like Sarah I was shock into silence, what is happening? Why will Maryam slap Sarah? A lot of questions pops up in my head but I can't seem to find the answer to any.
Looking at Sarah's expression I knew she was mad, Sarah never gets angry easily but when she does all hell will break lose and just as I expected Sarah lunches herself at Maryam.
