(CONTINUED FROM THE LAST EPISODE)
.
“My first day in C.H.S was partly fun and
partly
boring, the teachers only came into the
class to
introduced themselves and their subjects,
the
day was fun because I was doing the
answers to
the teacher’s questions and that had made
me
more popular and known by the teacher.
The bell
was rang for closing time, I picked up my
#10
polythene bag and hurried to the bus stop, I
entered the bus only to find out that I was
sitting
next to the give I mistakenly decanted her
food
earlier that day…
.

“Hello scholar.” She greeted smiling.
“Hi.” I replied faking a smile.
“Where are you heading to?” She asked as
she
moved closer to me.
“Home, of course.” I replied feeling
uncomfortable.
“Oh, I am also going home. But where are
you
living?” She asked smiling.
“Starlab Road.” I replied smiling.
“Oh! I also live there.” She replied
surprisingly.

“Really?” I asked in disbelief.
“Yes..”She replied gladly.
“Make una pay your money, no change o, I
tell
you before you enter o.” The conductor
announced with some kind of gruff and
heavy
voice which I guess is due to smoking.
“Can I pay your transport fare?” I asked
facing
her.

“Sure, it’s your duty.” She replied jovially.
“My duty?” I asked confusingly.
“Just pay.” She replied as she hit my
playfully
and I paid the transport fare of the both of
us.
“Scholar, can I know you more than this?”
She
requested with a humorless impression
showing
on her face.
“Sure.. but can I request for two things from
you?” I questioned smiling.
“Okay, hope it is something I gave give?”
She
replied showing some kind of puerile
characters
and movements.

“Dirty mind.” I thought as I gave out a
forcefully
smile.
“Can you please stop addressing me as
‘scholar’?” I requested facing her.
“No…” She replied laughing.
“But why, it is something you have and you
can
grant me.” I riposted immediately.
“Because you are indeed a scholar, don’t
you
know those girls in the class are already
eyeing
you?” She replied looking eyes in eyes with
me.

“Oh God!” I exclaimed unhappily.
“You second request?” She asked smiling.
“I’m sorry for what ha…” I tried to beg but
she
restrained me from coming down with my
statement.
“Sssshhh… forget that please.” She paused.
I
could notice the change in her mood
instantly.
“What’s wrong?” I asked astonishingly.
“Nothing (smile)… can I know you more?”
She
replied as she gave out a wonderful smile.
“Okay… (clear throat), I am Olamilekan
Jeff…” I
paused unwillingly.
“Oh, so you’re my father’s namesake.” She
replied.
“I am Jeff Cynthia.” She replied smiling.
“Oh! Nice knowing that.” I replied jollily.
“You welcome.” She paused.
“Less I forget, what about your friend? He is
not
in the bus, or he is not living…” Cynthia
pragmatic but I barged into her statement.
“We live in the same street; he is even my
neighbor…” I paused.
“But why is he not here?” Cynthia asked
genuinely.
“He has to branch at his mother’s shop,
else,
that means there is no Lunch for him this
afternoon. I suppose to wait for him but he
is a
kind of a lethargic guy, beside, he has a
crush for
a girl around that vicinity, I guess he is
staying
will have to stay with his mother till evening
because of his crush.” I concluded and I
could
see that Cynthia is really engrossed by my
speech.

“Okay, that’s not bad; it is just that I hate
that
guy at first sight.” She blasted showing
some
kind of disgusting face.
“Then you have to hate me too.” I darned.
“No o… okay I will like him later.” She
replied.
“This girl is funny o, you will like someone
later.”
I replied smiling.
“What about your girlfriend or let me put it
in
plural form, ‘your girlfriends’?” She asked
jokingly.
“Hmmm… hmmm.” A commuter mewed.
“Weldone o.” The commuter sitting next to
us
greeted in parable.

“Oga, una no tell me say person we don
carry
two love bird for this bus…” The Conductor
uttered jokingly.
“Audu, can you please shut that gutter you
call a
mouth, leave them alone. Don’t you know
that
was how met my wife inside a bus, so
anything
can happen they are now big boy and girl.”
The
driver cautioned Audu but the whole bus
was
rented with laughter at the concluding part
of
the driver’s statement.
.
I was speechless and dumbstruck, I looked
at
Cynthia; our eyes collided, she smile and
look at
another direction.

“Driver, I am dropping at the last bus-stop.”
I
broadcasted loudly.
We got to the last bus-stop and we all
alighted
from the bus, I look around the vicinity and
it
seems there is light.
“Cynthia, I have to go now, it seems there is
light.” I uttered facing Cynthia.
“Okay, where is your house?” Cynthia
questioned.
“You can’t know my house it is a bit far and
it is
really hard to portray.” I replied faking a
smile.
“Okay, no problem, since you don’t want me
to
know your house.” Cynthia replied with a
frown
face.

“Not like that, it is just that…” I tried to
defend
but she barged in.
“Yeeee! I’m finish today, my uncle.” She
expressed serenely.
“I looked at the direction she was looking
and I
saw a hefty man in armless and a three-
quarter
jean, he was walking towards us.
“Go!” Cynthia barked.
“No I’m not leaving, let me greet him?” I
riposted
bluntly.
“No… just go, I know what I’m saying, please
leave.” She begged wailing.
“Cynthia!” I exclaimed surprisingly when I
saw
that she is in tears.
“Cynthia, what are you doing here?”
Cynthia’s
uncle barked with a heavy and deep voice.
“G..oo..d a..f.f..f….” She stammered looking
down.
“What are you doing here?” He roared. I
staggered backward on hearing his loud
gruffly
voice.
“Good afternoon sir.” I greeted kneeling
down.
“How’re you?” Cynthia’s uncle responded
earnestly.

“I’m fine sir.” I responded smiling.
“What’re you doing here with her?” He asked
facing me.
“Sir, she’s my classmate and we boarded a
bus
together, we just alight from the bus and I
was
about taking my leave when she told me
that
you’re coming here…” I responded boldly and
confidently.

“Thank you, Cynthia meet me at home.” Her
uncle commanded and left.
“Okay sir.” Cynthia replied smiling.

“Ola… you really save me today, I own you a
lot,
thanks, let me take my leave before he
change
his mind.” Cynthia concluded and took to
her
heel eastwardly.
.

Cynthia seems to be bad at first sight but
she is
indeed a friend. She is funny, jovial, lively
and
vivacious. She is very beautiful and pretty;
the
prettiest in my class, she is a gem, a rare
gem of
its kind. She is light in complexion, she has
a
rounded face and pointed nose, and her big
eyebrow is something to be talk about, they
gave
her face a beautiful and attractive look.
“Ola! Ola!!” A faint, velvet voice called from
behind. I turned back only to find out the
caller
was…
.
Guess who!…
