Betrayal - Season 3 - Episode 8

“what do you want?” i asked,
“where can we meet?” she asked, ignoring my question.

“you are not serious” i murmured,
“don’t you think it’s time we come to a sort of compromise?” i heard her ask,
“your father!” i cursed,
“yours is in the hospital abi?” she laughed, “don’t say i didn’t try to make peace with you oo, i have tried, but i think the bad blood in you won’t let you reason well” she hissed and hung up. I bit my lips, cursed silently and walked on. I soon heard a car horn, honk behind, startling me. I turned curiously, faintly recognizing Chike’s car as it pulled up by my side.
“hmmm is this one stalking me or is it just a coincidence” i wondered.
“hi cyndii, you are going to school right?, hop in, let me drop you” he offered,
“oh no, don’t bother, i’m almost at the school gate” i replied polietly,
“i insist dear, what are friends for?” he insisted. I shrugged, stared at him for a while before climbing into his car. He slowly drove into the school premises.
“so how is your dad?” he asked seconds later,
“he is fine” i answered,
“i know i shouldn’t be asking you this due to your current situation, but is there any chance of us meeting after your lectures?” he asked,
“what for?” i asked innocently, giving him a curious look which made him a bit uncomfortable. He shrugged and laughed.
“nothing actually, i only feel like hanging out with you” he replied.

“please take the next turn by your right, you will see a large hall, that’s where i’m heading to” i said instantly, directing him and changing the topic.
“how about Amara?” he asked,
“she dosen’t feel like attending lectures today, she’s probably sleeping in her room” i replied. He said nothing, until we got to the hall. He stopped his car, turned and stared at me.

“i know this won’t be the first time you are hearing this from a guy, but i really do like you with all my heart. Please let’s be good friends and study each other, hope i’m not asking for much?” he gently proposed. I breathed deeply and returned his gaze, i really couldn’t make out any good answer for his request. I simply shrugged and opened the passenger’s door.
His offer of friendship could literally mean anything. I wasn’t ready for another mind game.
