Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 1 - Episode 57

At class
I decided to stay with boys for the time been to avoid coming in contact with Tracy. I don’t like been in their company because of their manners, they both lacked common manners; they will just tell everything about you not minding that other people might be listening. It really pissed me off when i joined them and they began bombarding me with different nonsense talks

COLLINS: i know that you will come here today because you don’t want talk to Tracy. I saw how you avoided her before walking out of the class this morning. The girl is really hurt by that your action, at least you would have given her a listening ear

ME: please stop that topic; i don’t want to talk about it **i replied angrily**
MIKE: bros calm down, we have to map out plan to deal with this girl

FRANK: look **he said pointing at her** she is staring at us with teary eyes; she would have cried herself to stupor. I think she was so remorseful of what she has done but that was very strange as he did it willingly

ME: if she like, she should shade blood, that is none of my business **i replied in pain**
It pained me to the marrow that things turned up like that. I know that i can’t let go but i just don’t want to bring myself so low in accepting her back. What she did was unbearable compounded with her past that she didn’t tell me about and above all, lying to me that she was still a virgin

FRANK: just look at her first
I turned and look at her, our eyes met and tears began to roll down her eyes. She didn’t care to look away, she straighten her face with her head on her desk, i didn’t look away either. I used that opportunity to study the face of the betrayal that i called girlfriend. I noticed that her mouth was moving but no sound was forthcoming out of her mouth. I decided to look away because the more i looked at her, the more my heart soften

COLLINS: i think you should settle the issue with her **he chipped in**

I turned my face to look at him, the anger that what he said generated in me was unbearable. I couldn’t believe that it was Collins that just spoke that word. He that was telling me never to have anything to do with the girl was the one that is telling me to reconcile with her. I take i good look at him to know if he is truly the one that spoke but his face shows all seriousness

I became confused; i didn’t know what to tell him. The Collins i know was never serious with anything except fighting and quarrelling.

But what bring about the sudden change in him; or have Tracy given herself or rather her forbidden fruit to him in exchange to convince me?

ME: settle with her?**i asked in surprise**

COLLINS: **nodded**

ME: how on earth will you advise me to do that?

FRANK: look Ben, i have noticed that since your problem with her started, you haven’t been yourself; your behaviour has been strange. I think you cannot leave the girl no matter what. As a result, i have to tell guys and seek their opinion on what to do; that was what we were even discussing before you came back. We tried to find a solution to help you get over her but we couldn’t put up any meaningful idea because it seemed that you love the girl with your life. So the only solution now is to reconcile with her and let go of your pride. This is the time to show her that you love her, accepting her back will show how much you valued her. Remember that a friend in need is a friend indeed. I am not trying to convince you or discourage you but what i am saying is the best thing for you
My head was spinning, all my friends in support of her? I just couldn’t believe this; i stared at them one after the other wondering if they all have had share of her sweetness. But that is unlike Frank, he will never involve himself in such a dirty act

MIKE: listen Ben, you know that i am the one that told you about her, and i am also suggesting that both of you come back together. The girl is remorseful and if she found out that i told you everything about her, she will be very mad at me but she cannot do me anything. I could tell when a girl is in love and looking at Tracy will tell that she love you. What she did might not be her fault that is why you have to listen to her

ME: what the hell are you guys telling me? Don’t tell me that you have connived with her

FRANK: you know that i won’t betray you for her, she has been trying to talk to me since this morning but i didn’t give in to that idea, i want you and her to speak and not me
I can’t take all this nonsense they called advise, i have to take my leave and find a cool place to relax or better return home.
I was busy thinking not knowing that there was a figure standing in front of us. I looked up only to see that it was Tracy, what in hell did she think that she is trying to do? Coming to chase my friends out and talk to me? That was just a confirmed madness

TRACY: please guys; can you give me some seconds to speak with Ben? **she politely asked**

MIKE: Ben or your boyfriend?

TRACY: yeah. Ben, i mean, my boyfriend
I was like “the thunder that will fire you is still warming up, how could you be so foolish to call me your boyfriend after all that you have done” i looked at her in anger but she didn’t care, i was feeling like tearing her flesh at that moment

COLLINS: sure, you can have years to speak with him

The all stood up and began to walk out of the class. Sensing the drama that was about unfolding between me and her in their absent, i decided to join them. I also walked pass her but when i get to the front of the class, heading to the door, i felt a hand tugged my cloth and she walked to my front

TRACY: **knelt down in front of me crying profusely** Ben please, i am really sorry
I couldn’t understand the embarrassment i felt at that moment, the whole class was staring at us and this girl did not feel any shame rather, she was busy pouring down tears. “If you meant to get me with your crocodile tears, then you have failed” i said within me and made to force my way past her but she got my intention and griped my leg thereby forcing me to stop on my track.

TRACY: please, don’t embarrass me in the presence of the whole class, please forgive me **she said amidst tears**

I don’t know what to do, i felt like pushing her away and running out of the class but the body was not willing to do that, though the mind was. The class has began to murmur some words within themselves but the embarrassment i was receiving didn’t let me to hear what they were saying though their word s was quite audible to comprehend from my position. I looked at the window and i say Frank, Mike and Collins busy laughing, i looked down at Tracy and she was still busy crying, her white shirt was wetted and her eyes was pure red, i don’t need a soothsayer to tell me that her cry was genuine
