Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 93

Why is he suggesting that when my home
is comfortable enough to accommodate
him?

Oh! I guess it is because of my mom!
“Come on! My mom is nice!” I said
“She asked me to invite you in. So don’t be
scared”
I said

I grabbed his wrist and made an attempt
to drag him but I found myself hitting his
chest. It was a swift movement. I couldn’t
explain how I got locked up in his arms. He
was holding me close to his body. And I
could feel his breathe on my skin.
“Let’s talk in my Car” he said seriously,
holding my gaze.

Jeffrey crossed my mind. He would
definitely be annoyed if he see us in such
position.

He sensed I wasn’t comfortable. Emeka
released me, giving me a smirk. I stepped
away from him and gave him a nod. He
opened the Car door and I entered. Emeka
walked round and settled in the driver seat.
“I have a problem and it is only you I can
trust to help me and give me a good
advice” Emeka said

“Tell me about it” I replied rubbing my
palms together.
“It’s about Caroline”
“Caroline?” I repeated
“I did something bad to her” Emeka said.
“What did you do to her?” He sighed
“I feel guilty for using Caroline last term.
Remember I had to fake a love act to get
the truth”
I nodded

“Well Joseph said I toyed with her feelings
and emotions. I know how Caroline feels
about me but -”

“You don’t feel the same way” I said
hoping to complete his sentence.
“I’m confused Katherine” He mumbled
with his eyes closed.

“I’m feeling a different thing now. As in I
can’t stop the image of the kiss we shared,
Caroline keeps popping up in my mind
every now and then. I Can’t stop glancing
at her in class and I feel bad for playing her
last term. She must be feeling that she’s
not enough for me”

He opened his eyes and looked at me.
“Am I just feeling guilty for my actions or
do you think I’m in love?”
“Emeka I don’t know much about Love but
-” i paused

And swallowed hard
“I feel bad too for using Caroline. And I had
apologized to her the day she turned in her
apology letter to me” I said
“You apologized to me?”
“Yes..I did it on everyone’s behalf. Though
she’d admitted that she wasn’t happy you
lied to her..But she also felt it was the only
way to finding the truth. Practically, she
blamed herself for everything”
I explained

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Emeka asked
“I didn’t know you were feeling bad for
using Caroline. I’m sorry”
Emeka clasped his hand over mine.
“I understand”

“Emeka I can’t tell you If you are falling for
Caroline” I said
He nodded

I mean am not in his body system!
But
From the look of things maybe the feeling
of guilt was turning into feeling of love for
Emeka. But I still think he needs to
differentiate his feelings.
“Kate I don’t know how to say this to you”
He gulped
“Say it anyhow”
“How come you fell in love with Jeffrey? To
be honest I was shocked when he
announced that you were dating”
He tightened his fingers over mine.
“He’s a good guy”
I whispered
“Yes I know…”
I nodded

“And I just found myself falling for him” I
said with a shrug

The truth is..I was already crushing on
Jeffrey before he made his attempt on me.
I was so concerned about him that I
wanted to know so much about Jeffrey!
“Okay..I get you. But you know I like you
too even before we became friends”
I looked up at him. And our gaze locked. His
other hand rested on our hands.
I looked away starting to feel shy under his
intense gaze.

I know Emeka likes me! That’s why Jeffrey
is still feeling insecure whenever he see
Emeka with me.
“Somehow the feeling went down…” He
muttered

“I’m sorry”
“No apologizes needed” he said
We sat in silent for about two minutes.
It’s a pity I can’t be more than friends to
him.

“I realized what I felt for you is just a mere
infatuation. But I’m glad to be your
friends”
He let go of my hands.

“So what do I do about Caroline?” He
breathed out
“Try talking to her..”
“I want to make it up to her”
“Okay.. Let’s go this way..” I stopped
“I’m listening” he said
“Why don’t you try to get to know
Caroline. She’s a better girl now, and I’m
sure you will get along well if you try to
figure out each other’s feelings and see if
things can work out”
“You mean relationship?” He asked
“Uhmm not really..You can start off as
friends too”
I replied

“I want to apologize to her but I don’t
know if she will ever give me a chance. Do
you think I should write a letter to her
first?”

“No..Apologizing orally will make her see
that you’re serious”
“Yeah you are right. Thank you Katherine.
One more thing -”
“What?”

“I’m thinking of something”
I rolled eyes
“What is it?”
“Let’s try to reunite Angella and her girls
and everyone. I don’t like the fact that we
are all apart. We should all be together. It’d
be fun if we reunite everyone and study for
our exams together” Emeka said
“That’s a good idea. We’ll discuss it on
Monday”

“Can you bring it up?”
“Yes probably during lunch time”
“Okay”
“Thanks for today” he said
“You’re welcome”
“Say me hi to your mom” he said
I nodded and got out of the car.
“See ya on Monday!” I waved
Emeka started his car and drove off.
“Where is Emeka?” Mom asked
“He left..”
“Why didn’t you bring him in?”
I breathed out heavily as I flopped down
beside her on the couch.

“I think he’s scared of you. So he prefered
we have the discussion in his car”
“I was really hoping to see him” my mom
mumbled
“Don’t worry you’ll get to meet all Of them
on my graduation day” she said
I rested my head on her chest and she held
me tightly, stroking my hair.

“Still sleepy? ”
“Yes sing for me mommy”
“Okay..”

And she started singing her native lullaby
to me.

“Omo mi to dara
Morenikeji mi to rewa”
And soon I found myself drifting into sleep.
“I love you mom” I mumbled
“I love you more Sunshine”
She responded
And soon darkness claimed my vision. Off
to Dreamland!

Thanks for Reading!

Now give Emeka an advice to clear his
thought!

I wonder if he is in love with Caroline now
