Memories Of Cupid - Season 1 - Episode 6

The man paced silently like a jaguar as his gaze roved around the classroom. Mr Rotimi adjusted his circle shaped glasses and called out the last group.

“Jimi, Elyme, Bukola and Foye, You all are in the last group, group 8. You can come to the laboratory to collect the apparatus for your practical” Mr Rotimi barked. He instructed Jimi to follow him to the laboratory to pen down the names of his group members as he had already been made the group leader. Jimi followed suit like a loyal dog being led to its barn of bones. He winked at Elyme before walking out of the class. Everyone would agree he smelt nice and oh! those intellectual gent eyes are way too tempting. Even a dead plant would sprout out at the sight of Jimi. He was clean and indisputably handsome.

Elyme rolled her eyes in Disgust, so she would have to work with Jimi in the same group. how would she cope with someone like jimi all over her? She heaved a deep sight. Anita came around and went off into gales of laughter. Elyme hissed and worked out of the class.

Puriche and her clique blocked her on her way to blessed cafeteria, shoting her with the deadliest look she had ever seen. She wasn’t surprised, Puriche and her clique had warned her weeks back to stay away from jimi. it wasn’t like she was dating him already.
Elyme recalled how she was promising hell letting loose if she ever dated him.

Foye’s tap on the shoulder jolted her to the present. together, they walked to the cafeteria discussing WAEC’s timetable which had just been released.

After school hours that day, Elyme stayed back at school to read in preparation for WAEC which was already around the corner. She had passed JAMB excellently well. She also heard Jimi had a 260 which was enough to enable him study the course of his choice in Italy if he still wanted to go back to Italy.

Jimi came from behind and blindfolded her with his palms. Elyme instantly knew it was jimi immediately she smelt his Dolce & Gabbana Louis perfume. Elyme swallowed hard then she fused.

“Jimi, Get your hands off me, you B***h” She scowled sharply in a manner void of embarrasment.

“Hey yo, you might have to watch those words” Jimi said beaming with smiles.

“Now, what do you want, please I don’t want trouble. you were there when she came to warn me, threatening and pulling my small ears before junior students not to move close to you, please leave me alone. I don’t even know what made you come to this school knowing fully well you are the son of a minister!” Elyme verbalized bluntly.

Wow! Jimi never knew she could talk that way. but there was something about her, she didn’t like guys neither did she want anything to have to do with them and he was on a mission to find out.

He sat quietly on her seek. Elyme was already boiling with anger.

“Is it because of Piri”? He asked with a tone of uncertainty.

A strong electric force swayed down Elyme’s spine, was she sure she heard that right? How did he get to know about Piri? How she wished she could shut the memories of Piri in a dark funnel and fling it away into the darkest pit of hell! oh men!

“Elyme” Jimi called softly

Elyme’s heartbeat increased, hot tears found their ways down her cheeks. she packed her books and ran out of the class. Jimi looked amazed and confused at the same time, Elyme was sure a drama Queen. Anita’s words were beginning to dawn on him. Was it true Elyme had a terrible past?

Champions keep playing till they get it right, he assured himself he would get to the bottom of her case.
