"You can study here. This place is more quiet," Mrs Bridget stated.

My eyes darted at the little room. Mrs Bridget had taken Freddy and me to an abandoned classroom in the school. She wanted us to study there. The classroom was small in size and it had only one window. That was the main reason why it wasn't used anymore.

"I told the cleaners to clean it this morning. It is neat. You can start studying now" Mrs Bridget pointed at the two desks and chairs set for us. "Naomi, please help Fredrick. He needs to improve. This is first term. You still have time".

"Don't worry, ma! I will do my best" I smiled.

"I trust you, Naomi. I will lock the door. I hope nothing silly would happen in this room?" her suspicious glance was sent to Freddy.

He scoffed and smirked at me. I eyed him and looked at Mrs Bridget.

"Me and him? No way! How can I allow anything to happen? If this monkey touch me, I will kill him" I replied in a sassy voice.

She burst into a hearty laughter and wiped her eyes.

"I know you are good children from a morally upright home," she nodded and smiled at us. "I will leave now".

"Okay, ma!" I replied.

"Thank you, ma!" Freddy voiced.

She nodded, walked to the door and narrowed her eyes at us. I giggled and gave her an assuring smile. She walked out, slamming the door shut. I scanned the place.

It is okay, sha!!! I could read in peace!

Freddy dropped his books on the desk. His brows were knotted.

"Must I copy my note?" he whined.

"No oo! Eat it! How can you have incomplete notes?" I hissed and sat on my chair.

"I don't like coping note" he yelled and flopped into his chair.

"Let me see your notes!" I ordered.

He passed his nine books. We were allowed to offer nine subjects in my school. Freddy and I were Art students.

I flipped his mathematics note. It was like I was his mother who came for open day. I flipped each page, examining his notes.

"Your maths note is not complete," I gasped.

"Why are you shock? It is obvious I don't like maths" he sneered.

"So? You should always update your notes" I yelled. "You don't even do your maths assignments".

He growled but didn't reply.

"I can't have a boyfriend who is not serious in school" I scolded.

"This is a fake relationship" he pointed out.

"So? I can't allow my fake boyfriend to be lazy"

"I am not lazy!" he retorted.

"Then, why is your note not complete?"

"I..." a smirk crawled to his lips. "You are right. I am lazy".

"I can't believe you just admitted to that," I gasped dramatically, placing a hand at my chest.

He folded his arms and pursed his lips. I flipped more notes. They were all incomplete.

Why doesn't he complete his note? What is wrong with this boy? He should at least made effort. Most of his notes are incomplete.

I flipped his Economics note. It was also incomplete. My eyes fell on an amazing drawing.

He drew on his note? How can you draw on your note? What if your teacher finds out? Gosh, you will be a deadmeat! But.... It is a nice drawing sha!

I gazed at the drawing of a boy in his note. Freddy had noticed the amused smile on my face and leaned forward to see what I was staring at.

"Oh!" he smiled.

"I didn't know you could draw!"

"I can!" his smile broadened.

"This is lovely. I like the guy. He looks handsome. You can draw oo!" I beamed.

"Thanks! If you love that, then you will faint when you see my other drawings," he boasted.

Ehn! Is it because I praise him that he is feeling big. For his mind na, he thinks he is special.

"Now that I looked at it, It is not that fine. I have seen a better drawing than this" I rolled my eyeballs and closed the book.

"What? But you said it was lovely"

"I thought it was. I was mistaken!"

He gave a sidelong glance and bent his lips downwards.

"Jealousie!" he exclaimed.

"I am not jealous"

"Then admit that my drawing is nice.

"It is okay sha!" I shrugged and picked up my note.

"Na wa for you! "

"What? "

"Can't you be a lovely girlfriend and praise your boyfriend?"

"Forget that one! When my boyfriend refuses to work hard, what do you expect?" I sniggered.

His brows snapped together and he narrowed his eyes.

"I will not talk to you again!" he hissed.

"Ah! See this one! Did I say I wanted to talk to you?" my lashes fluttered as I eyed him.

"Give me your Government note!" he commanded.

I thought you said you won't talk to me? Na wa oo!

"Why?"

"I want to complete my note" he replied brusquely.

Is he angry with me? Why is he acting rude? If he thinks that I would apologize, then he is dreaming.

"I think I am with it" I searched for it among the little books I had. I found it and extended the note to him. He snatched it from my hand.

"Wait! Are you angry with me?"

He ignored and started writing his note. I chuckled.

See the way his lips are in a thin line? I didn't know he would be annoyed. Maybe he loves drawing and what I had said just hurt his ego! Well... That one concern him.

"Mtchew! Don't answer me. Am I begging you?"

He didn't even look my way.

"Ooh! You are ignoring me abi? " I sneered.

An idea popped into my mind and I decided this would be a fun time to look for his trouble. I am kind of a troublesome person.

Hehe!....No that doesn't sound right! Muahaha! Much better!

I leaned forward and poked his cheek with my finger. His brows lowered to create a scowl on his face.

"My Romeo is angry oo!" I teased.

Romeo? Where did that idea come from?

His grip on his pen tightened.

Haha! He is getting frustrated! That's interesting!

I poked his cheek again.

"Are you going to stay angry with your cupcake?" I taunted.

He rolled his eyes and kept writing. I looked at his note.

Na wa oo! This boy's handwriting is finer than my own. How did this happen?

A smirk danced on my lip as I poked his cheek again.

"My Romeo's handwriting is fine!"

This time he snapped his head at my direction.

"Seriously? Why?"

"Why what?" I giggled.

His angry expression makes me laugh! Wait oo... his brows are neatly carved. That's nice!

"You think it is funny?"

"Hmm... " I placed my finger under my jaw. "Yes!"

"Why would you call me Romeo?"

"Because I want to. Beside you said you won't talk to me. What happened?"

He ran his fingers down his black hair and shook his head.

"Oh, Romeo! Why has thou chooseth to be angry with thy girlfriend?" I exclaimed dramatically.

His eyes widened and he burst into laughters.

"Don't ever talk like that in public" he said between laughters.

"Why?" I popped my bottom lip out.

"Do you want to disgrace yourself?" he chortled.

The image of me speaking like that in public played in my head and I burst out laughing. Laughing harder than Freddy.

"Juliet!" Freddy called out in a dramatic tone.

"Yes, my Romeo"

"Why shall thou leaveth me?"

"I don't want to leave thee!"

Freddy took my hands in his and dramatically said, "I love thee with all of my heart. For..." he paused to recall something. "All is fair in love and war".

I burst out laughing. I fell on my knees. My mouth was wide as I laughed with all my energy.

"Abeg! What does that one mean?" I laughed.

"Are you asking me? Go and look for William Shakespeare" he laughed as well.

"You sabi act!" I chuckled and wiped the tears that welled up in my eyes.

"I should be an actor, what do you think?"

"You fit am!" I sat on my chair and giggled.

Like you had to see Freddy's face! It was like he was speaking the words from the depth of his heart. His facial expression was too good. This guy can be a playboy! He would just fool any girl.

"Freddy, have you dated any girl?"

He looked at me and replied, "Yep!"

"I knew it!"

"What do you mean?"

"You would be a perfect playboy. You can act eh!"

"The girl I dated was a fake. I just dated her because she insisted that we should be in a relationship. I wasn't the one that asked her to be my girlfriend" he divulged.

"There is no way she can be the only girl you have dated!" I stated.

He narrowed his eyes at me and smirked, "Surprisingly, she is the only girl".

"What? Why?"

"Because most fine girls I am interested in always love money. I can't be spending money on a girl" he hissed.

"Why not? "

"My mom would kill me if she found out. How can I be spending my allowance on a girl? Reason am!"

"Mtchew! Stingy boy! "

"I am not stingy. It is just common sense. If I should spend my money on those girls, they will still dump me for another guy" he replied.

"True sha!"

Wait first! Does that mean I am his second girlfriend? I mean, second fake girlfriend?

I gazed at him. He was now writing his note.

"Am I your second girlfriend?"

His black eyes darted to mine. He smiled.

"Let's say my first! "

"But you said... "

He interrupted me and said, "I never liked that girl. The relationship was torture. I didn't acknowledge her as my girlfriend. She was just the girl that clung to me". He scrunched his nose in disgust.

"When was that?"

"Last year!"

"Oh! Why am I your first?"

"Cos this is the first relationship I am actually enjoying" he chuckled. "I am also creating my own love story".

"What? I didn't even think of it that way. What about the bet you made with your friends? "

"That bet is still on. My friends have gotten their girlfriends. We just have to make ours more believable and we also need it to last till the end of this term," he simpered.

I smiled.

Freddy and I are trying to create our own love story. That was unexpected!

"How do you know much about relationship?"

"Cos I have friends who are first-class playboys" he smirked.

The school bell rung and I glanced at my note and then to Freddy.

"What class are we having?" I asked.

He groaned, "Maths!"

"Let's go!"
