Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 91

They
are all in love!

And I found myself wishing that someone
would treat me well someday.
“I’m joining your team today!”

A loud voice said, snapping me out of
thought again. I looked up and Lawal was
standing beside Jones. His arms went
round Jones shoulder but Jones pushed
him away gently and held onto Temi’s right
hand.

“I’m holding my babe to the cafeteria so
don’t clinch to me” Jones said
Lawal huffed

We all filed out of the class. No one was in
expect Angella. Her head was bent on the
desk with an earpiece plugged in her ear. I
looked at her before stepping out of class.
She was alone! And I felt pity for her!
“Is t because you have babe? Pele o” Lawal
said

“Ehn you sef go find babe na” Emeka said
“I’m in love with one babe but she doesn’t
love me..or maybe she hasn’t gotten over
her feelings for another boy” Lawal
explained as he moved to Emeka’s side.
“And have you confessed to her?” Emeka
asked

“Yes..And no..Hmm maybe.. Not really”
Lawal blabbed
“Alaye stop blabbing!” Temi shunned him
“What do you mean?” Jones asked
“I don’t have the courage to confess to
her” Lawal answered
“Come on! Don’t be a coward!” Emeka said

“Confessing your feeling to a girl is not an
easy task” Lawal coaxed
“It is easy if the one you love feels the
same way” Jeffrey added
Lawal stopped on track. His gaze falling on
Jeffrey and Kate locked hands
“Everybody wait..” he said
And we all stopped to look at him.

“I’ve alwasy wanted to ask you a question”
he said

“What?” Jeffrey asked
“Jeff, you’ve really changed” he said
“Why did you say that?” Jeff asked
“You don’t act like a ghost amymore” he
paused
And continued

“And I noticed you are close to Katherine
now. Is there something going on between
the both of you?” He said without missing
a beat. He pointed to their locked hands.
“Why are you asking us question when you
are not part of our team?” Temi said
“Yeah! What are you even doing here? We
can’t tell you anything” Jones supported
Laws smile dropped
“That’s unfair” he said
“I want to be part of the team too” he
pouted
Suddenly behaving like a baby.

“You can’t join us” Emeka blurted

“Why?”
“You wouldn’t be able to stand our
initiation” Jones teased
Lawal eyes widened
And we continued walking, leaving him
behind. For some reasons I didn’t want to
join the conversation. I just wanna watch
them and listen.

“Are you guys some kind of secret cult In
school?!” Lawal said. And he was d--n
loud!
What?!

And we all busted into laughter! He didn’t
realize that Jones was teasing him. He has
forgotten Jones previous lifestyle. Jones
used to be Empire High School Prankster!
He was given names, “Mr Teaser and Whine
Forever” before he started dating Temi. He
was so annoying! But all thanks to Temi
who changed him. She gave him a
condition before agreeing to date him.

Temi asked him to stop pranking students
if he wants to be with her. And he agreed
after days of thinking and the started
dating.

We laughed for seconds. Lawal stood with
a confused expression on his face.
“Why are you laughing?”
Laughter erupted in the hallway again
“Jones you were joking right?” He asked
“Jones was teasing you” Emeka replied him
Lawal sighed and said

“You can never change Mr Whine Forever”
Lawal said

“Trust me, am a changed person..Thanks to
mama” Jones leaned down and kissed
Temi’s forehead.

“Stop making us jealous” Emeka said
Lawal moved to Jeffrey
“So are you guys -”
“She’s my girlfriend” Jeffrey interrupted
him.

Hmm.. He was proud to be Katherine’s
Boyfriend. One could tell in his tone!
“Wow! You’re so lucky Man!” Lawal clapped

So lucky! He won the love Game against
Emeka and Joseph!

Seriously I never imagined Jeffrey
becoming Kate’s Boyfriend. One can’t really
tell what the future entails. Only God
knows!

“It seems everyone is In a relationship
except me” Lawal said witga loud sigh
“Oh boy! You are not alone!” Emeka said
“Why?”

“I’m single too” he replied
Lawal hissed

“Eh! I can’t even believe you! Minister of
girls affairs! You that many girl always
come to your house to party” Lawal rasied
his hands up to hail Emeka

“Boss!”
“Past tense..Emeka is a serious man now”
Jones said
Lawal laughed
“So you are not the only single person
here. Elena is also single” Temi said
My head snapped up
Lawal looked at me for a second before
turning away.

“Oh really?” He said
Scratching the bridge of his nose.
“So why don’t you pair up and become
one?” Jones said laughing out loud.
What?!

How can he say that without thinking?!
“You would make a great couple!” Emeka
clapped

“Stop the matchmaking scheme” I said
“Why?!” Emeka placed his arms around my
shoulder.

“Why are you trembling Elena?!” Emeka
asked
I pushed him away.
I was trembling!
Why?

I don’t know!
“I’m not -”
“I agree with you Emeka” Lawal said
“What?!” My jaw dropped
I couldn’t believe he was agreeing to the
silly notion.

“Who! Headboy and headgirl in a
relationship” Temi clapped
“That’s awsome!”
Why is she so excited?
“That’s nice!”
“I like that boldness Lawal”

They continued talking. I rolled my eyes. I
wasn’t interested in staying behind and
listen to the rest of the conversation. So I
walked away..Ahead of them to the
cafeteria.

“Hey Elena..Wait up” Lawal said. He was
following me

How dare he agree after he made it clear
minutes again that he was in love with a
girl who likes another boy.

He is also a victim of unrequited love. Like
me.

“Elena!”
I didn’t wait for him him catch up with me.
So I hastened my steps.
“I was only joking Elena!” He screamed but
I didn’t stop

Now why am I mad at him for saying he
was joking about us becoming a couple?
Come out of it Elena!
Lawal better be joking! And I’m going to
deal with my crew later.
