            SAMANTHA's POV

I can't just understand why Daniel is smiling too much. What's the matter with him?

"You want to feed Daniel?" Boma asks again, his brows knotted.

"Yes. How many time will I say this?" I say, my face work up into a scowl.

"He doesn't need your help," Nora snaps, sending daggers at me through her round eyes. "I'll feed him myself".

"He— " The nurse cuts me short by saying, "Enough! How long will you argue about this? Daniel will feed himself".

"Ma," Nora rises from the bed, her body shaking in anger as she adds, "He is too weak to do that. I'm here. I'll feed him."

"Boma will feed him," Nurse says firmly and turns to him, her face in a frown that dares him to disagree.

Boma goes silent and his eyes trail down to Daniel's. He opens his mouth but stops. I see his brows lift slightly before he shuts his mouth to hide a smirk. I glance at Daniel who tries to put an innocent face. I'm sure he just communicated something to Boma.

"Actually, the Principal said I should call Nora. He says the Headgirl needs to be around despite the condition of the Head boy. The reputation of the school is important. I also have something to do. Let Sam take care of Daniel"

"Sam?" The nurse eyes me. "I'm still surprised Sam is here. This girl that only thinks of herself. It's her nature to be selfish".

"Azin ehhh. Ma, you are so right" Nora chirps in.

"Don't call me ma. I know you aren't that respectful. You think I will let you stay here? No oo! You are the Head girl. Go and perform your duty"

"Duty? The assistant is there"

"If you don't want the post. Talk so that they can give it to the Assistant. She even seems more hardworking."

"Yeah! She is" Boma says. "Or they give the post to Anna".

I glance at Boma in surprise. It's surprising that he remembers Anna and more surprising that he feels she is qualified for the post. It's not that she isn't but how come he thinks that?

"Leave the sick bay," Mrs Glory, the Nurse concludes. Nora groans and stomps her foot. "Like Boma said, you need to represent the school. Daniel isn't feeling well. Therefore, it's your duty to take over".

"And Sam? She gets to stay?" she hurls and points at me. I let out a cocky laughter.

"You know the answer," I tell her.

Mrs Glory eyes me. "You are leaving".

"Ma," Daniel calls out. "Please, let Sam stay".

"Why?" Nora barks and rushes to his side. "Let me stay with you na".

I roll my eyes. It's pathetic how Nora keeps clinging to him.

"Nora, please! Just go. You need to handle everything while I'm here. The event must go well. Our school's reputation can't be ruined," Boma says pleadingly.

"How can it— "

Boma cuts in and clasps her hands in his. "Please, Nora. I'm begging".

She sighs and roll her eyes. "It's because you are begging, that's why I'll go. Please take care of yourself".

She does something that shocks us all. She hugs him. Boma, Mrs Glory and I glance at ourselves and then at her. She lets go of him, narrows her eyes at me and stomps away.

"Na wa oo!" Boma exclaims. "This one serious sha".

"Guy, you get am" I voice before we both burst into laughter.

"Boma, are you feeding him?" Mrs Glory asks which makes our laughter die.

"No!" he replies. "I have something to do now. I'll be back soon". He turns around and exits the room.

Mrs Glory raises a brow in confusion and drags her gaze to me. "Please, just feed him. I don't know why he can't feed himself. Let me go get the drug. The new supply is at the principal's office".

"No problem, ma" Daniel responds. The moment she walks out, Daniel asks "Are you sure you want to feed me?"

"Yeah," is my simple response. I shrug, draw a plastic chair beside the bed and sit down. He squints his eyes and studies my face. I chuckle, "What?"

His face brightens with a smile. "You look cute when you smile".

"I chuckled," I point out.

"Well...You still look cute"

"Whatever! Time to eat"

"You'll feed me?" he asks, his voice, soft like a whisper. I peer at him and his cheeks protrudes as he blushes.

"Dude," I shake my head.

"What?" he gasps. "I'm just too overwhelmed that you want to do this".

I shake my head again and open the lunch bag. I take out the flask and the fork. I open it and the appetizing aroma of fried yam and egg fills the room. I eye the food longingly.

"My mom is a good cook. You can taste if you want"

"I'll taste," I laugh a little before putting a piece of yam in my mouth. I realize I had used his fork and quickly clean it with my skirt. His eyes goes round.  "Sorry! Do you have a tissue with you?"

He smirks, gazing at me through his long lashes. He still lying on the bed with his hands crossed. "I have my handkerchief though."

"Give me"

He takes it out from his pocket and gives it to me. I clean the fork and stab a piece of yam with it. "Open your mouth," I instruct. He does that and I feed him. I spend the next ten minutes feeding him. He allows me to eat some too. We chat about some movies we've watched before he yawns and tells me he wants to sleep. I arrange the pillow properly and wait till he is deep in his sleep.

When I'm sure he is asleep, I silently rise from the chair. I make my way to the door and glance at him before leaving. My heart aches all of a sudden. A familiar pain that shoots in when I see the condition I made him in. He yawns and turns around, his face at my direction. His eyes open slightly.

"Are you going?" he asks groggily.

"I have a football match to get to," I whisper in reply.

"Okay! Thank you," he smiles before shutting his eyes. I notice the sun is resting on him and go to close the curtains. I look back at him and shake my head. I don't know why but a little voice keeps reciting that he is handsome.

Duh! I can see that with my eyes why repeat it every seconds!

But seriously...why is this guy so handsome? He is 80% my spec and that's a red flag to me. I can't have feeling for a proud guy like him.

Mrs Glory has given him the medicine she spoke about. So I leave him with faith that he will be better.
