CHAPTER 20
"What a weird dream."
I aced the history test. My literature result was a D and it marveled me whenever I thought of it.
My relationship with lily and Christopher was not as usual because I limited myself from them. But it was actually true that I sometimes have anger issues and it bothered me a lot.
Should I talk to them? No no I shouldn't. But they are my...
"Hey." Christopher approached with a pale face breaking me out of my thoughts.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. I
" Chris, we have a football match. Get ready." Coach Stephens ordered
"I'm sorry..
" You have a match. Go on." I turned and left.
Coach Stephens was a very nice person. He has been Schleiden's coach for a very long time. He was patient, he has thinking capability and many nice attributes which made him worthy of his title.
During the football practice, Christopher kept stealing glances at me. Christopher handled the ball so well and he kept scoring goals on the pitch. Whenever he scored a goal, my class boys and girls cheered loudly.
Lily on the other hand, was sitting with Roger. Roger whispered something into her ear which made her laugh. I didn't hear what he told her but a nauseated feeling engulfed me. Roger was on Christopher's team too. I just sat down drown in my own thoughts and staring into space.
23 minutes later,
Coach Stephens blew his whistle signifying the practice was over. And he took his leave.
"Everyone I have an announcement to make."
"Go on." Everyone urged Roger to speak and the pitch was dead silent.
"So, its something that rarely happens and it happened to me. Well,...Never mind.
" Are you crazy?
"Bro. Why start something you can end.?
Those who cared to listen at first was disappointed. Not like I was interested in hearing anything he wanted to say, but I was a bit disappointed.
" okay, okay. Chill, let me continue." Roger laughed hard
"Kelly confessed her feelings for me and asked me out." He blurted.
My jaws dropped
"Have you gone crazy? What the heck are you saying?" All eyes turned in my direction.
"Yeah, on the rooftop. That's why you came late for the last agric class for the term. I over heard when Christopher and lily asked.
" Stop there. You're being insane right now. Think this through and just shut up."
"Why stop him? Let him finish." Sharon said.
"Lily and Christopher asked you what's wrong because you appeared melancholic. The reason she was sad was because I turned her down.
What"
"Do you all know the reason she left the class early?
" why" promise questioned.
"Well, because she couldn't face me after I turned her down."
"Nice point." Sandy shouted.
"I did no such thing."
"I can't believe you. Lily is your best friend. I wondered why you didn't sit close to her today. Perhaps you couldn't bear their laughter and little whisperings to each other. Your better than this. " a junior spoke up and it tore my heart. I could have given her a slap right now but everyone was literally against me.
Lily stared at me with a blank expression.
"Girl, I didn't do it. He was the one that asked me out. I promise.
She still didn't utter a word. A lone tear left her cheeks. I took a few steps towards her when Roger came forward and pushed me making me fall. He held her lily by the hand and left the football pitch.
" let's get out of here." A voice said.
My eyes were teary and I couldn't see clearly but people were gradually leaving the field. A hand stretched towards me.
"I didn't do it..I didn't..I...I...I..please
" Shush. You didn't do it!." Christopher cleaned my tears. He held my face close to his uniform and I poured my heart and soul out.
"I was so scared. No one believed me. I thought I was alone.
" I'm sorry too. I should have stood up for my girl."
"Your girl." I sniffed.
"Yeah. Let's get out of this place. Let me drop you at your house.'
" I don't want to go home. It's just 3:30pm. Let us go to your house." My baby attitude from nowhere suddenly awakened.
"My house? You sure."
"Yeah. If your parents won't be okay and if your not comf..
" No,no you can come. "
"Hop on my bike. It's super fast. So hold on tight when we get on."
"Okay. Let's goooo."
