#11 - Me And A Private Conversation
My palms were sweating, heart thumping. I was scared. I hated Thursday. It's unbelievable how a freaking subject can make me want to chop off my fingers as an excuse to leave. But that was what was happening.
Physics lesson definition. This was the one excuse for our whole physics lesson to know who were the smart ones and who were not.
I hadn't read. The book was looking at me, yes it was. But I was too busy trying to finish another episode of Friends, that I totally forgot. Sue me, I'm a sucker for old tv series.
"Ekpe girls, come out." I gulped silently, pushing myself off the wooden stool and onto my two shaking feet. What was Newton's law again? What was Linear momentum? Was sound wave a transverse wave?
My mind was racing, this was not a good day. Let me take you back to the beginning.
It was a normal day, the sun was shining, children were running and Naval officers chasing. Basically we were being stupid and happened to be chased by a stupid officer.
Somehow, God was on our side and we managed to get ourselves hidden in a class. Turned out it was our class. Sadly it was Chemistry. Did I mention how much I hated chemistry. No? Well I hated it more than custard and I hate custard more than Donald Trump hates Black people.
Our teacher was an average heighten, light skinned woman. She had this quiet voice that was so low no one could practically hear when she was teaching.
As to why I've been failing the freaking subject. It's so damn hard. Anyways, while the class was going on, I needed a pencil to draw and just as I got it into my hands, Mrs. Annoying Chemistry Teacher walked over.
"Let me see your note." Long story short, I borrowed it out. I stood up and scratched the back of my neck. "Ma, I borrowed someone." Then out of no where she starts hitting me with her really long cane. Yelling about how un serious I was, which pissed me off.
The class ended quickly, which I took a liking too and planned to sleep through out my next period, I'd gotten my seat ready when I saw them. Daniel (Delivery boy) and Lois. Shocking.
They were laughing like old friends, touching places that no stranger would ever touch. This was strange because, he was new and no other guy but Joseph ever touched her that way.
I creepily watched them as they sat in front of my class, my eyes were fixed on the duo. The next thing I know, Lois leans her head on his shoulder and shuts her eyes. What was she doing?
I was quite confused, until I saw Joseph fuming a few feet away. He stood in front of an SS1 class, his arms crossed and eyes narrowed. My eyebrows furrowed, what kind of game was this?.
Before I registered what was going on, Lois and Daniel moved towards the hall, with Joseph following them. Obviously curious, I followed after them keeping my distance.
Thankful for the book I held which played a great cover in case caught, I'd sat a few tables down from them and was happy when I could hear them clearly. My eyes were fixed on the book but my ears were above it.
"What is your problem Lois, why are you even with the thing." Joseph spoke with spite, he was jealous. Even without looking I could tell his face would be red with anger. "I don't remember doing anything wrong. And for your information, I can talk and walk with whoever I want to."
I heard a slight bang on the desk and lifted my head. Lois and Joseph were nose to nose, while Daniel watched with amusement. "Is this the reason you said no yesterday, after everything."
Lois scoffed and drew backwards, "Daniel has nothing to do with why I said no, if you must know." She seemed oddly calm with this, why would she be calm.
I wasn't understanding this, why would our schools favorite ship be sinking. I always expected it to stay afloat for at least one more year before breaking into 2 like the Titanic. Strange.
"Then why would you do this, after I finally got enough courage. You.. You said no?" I have a feeling, I think I know what they're talking about. Lois flew off the table she had been sitting on, startling Daniel and Joseph.
She seemed angry, frustrated even, "That was exactly why I said no. Because it took you 2 years to finally ask me to be your girlfriend and I'll say no now and forever because I cannot be with a boy like you." With that said, she stormed out of the hall in anger.
That was epic. The golden couple were no more. And no one in the school had a clue. I had to tell the girls, then siri, this was hot, very hot gossip. I abruptly stood up, ready to leave quietly when the devil decided to drop a bomb of bad luck on me, cause my book dropped hard to the floor.
Before I understood what had just happened, both boys turned to my direction and realization had dawned in their eyes, well it was more humor in Daniel's eyes as they both noticed me standing there. Book-less. Cover-less. Eaves dropping.
I was screwed.
