Must Read: It Is Teenage Love

After the paper Segun waited for Jummy outside the exam hall.

Nike hurriedly came out and walked towards Segun.

She handed him an envelope and waited for his
reaction. Segun opened it and discovered it was an invitation card to her birthday party on the 4th of October.

“Will you come?” She asked.

“Yes, i will.” he replied.

“I’ll really appreciate it.” she said.

Jummy came outside and joined them.
“Baby let’s go.” she said.

“I’ll be with you shortly.” he said.

“See you later.” she said.

“Alright.” Segun said and walked to where Jummy was standing.

“What’s that?” Jummy asked.

“Invitation card.” he replied.

“For what?” she asked.

“Birthday party.” he replied.

“do u plan on attending?”
“Yes, i will.” segun answered.

“But what is so special in that girl.” Jummy asked.

“There is nothing special in her, She is my friend and i have to support her on her birthday.”

“Let go on a date on that day.” Jummy said.

“No problem, provided you’ll follow me to her birthday.” he said.

“No way, am i going to her birthday.” she replied.

“Then we go on no date.” he said.

“I know you love that girl.” she said angrily.

Segun was suprised at her sudden outburst. Jummy
walked away angrily, leaving Segun behind. Segun
didn’t bother going after her.

“Segun, what’s the matter?” Nike asked from behind.

“Nothing. Its just a little misunderstanding.” segun
replied.

“Hope its not about my invitation. Because i can hear you talk about going somewhere.” She said.

“Its not about your invitation.” segun said.

They continued walking towards the main road.
“So, how was your paper?” segun asked expertly changing the topic.

“It was good.” she replied.

They got to the bus-stop where they will go their
seperate ways.

“See you tomorrow.” she said.

“yeah, Biology practicals right?” he asked.

“Yes.”

Segun hopped into a commercial bus and Nike
crossed the road.

“Oh my God! See maturity. She didn’t feel jealous at all.” he said to himself.

Segun got home and took a shower. He la!d down to sleep when his phone beeped. It was a message from Odunayo(one of the girls in his class)
requesting him to join them in Titilayo’s(the school’s
head/senior girl) house.

He hurriedly changed his clothed to a blue long
sleeves shirt over a black versace pant trouser and a
black vickers. He picked his wrapped gift and kept it
inside a fancy polythene back. He got out of the
house, put on his sunshade and off he left for titi’s house.

He got to the front gate and saw an inscription
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TITILAYO.”
He went inside and saw all members of his class
chilling and having fun. Pamilerin(the social prefect)
was the M.C.

[/B]“Now let us welcome our brother, the disciplinarian and the sportman, Shegzy.”[/B]
pamilerin said.

Everybody present stood up and gave him a
standing ovation. Segun felt on top of the world.

He went to the designated stage where he shook hands
with the m.c and went to the high table where the
celebrant and the vips were seated.
He hugged Titilayo and he took a snapshot with her.

He sat down on the hightable where all other
prefects were seated.

They enjoyed themselves till late in the evening
when everyone started going home.

Segun went to present his gift to the celebrant when he saw Emma and his guys taking photographs with
Titilayo.

“Segun. Meet my cousin Emmanuel.

Emmanuel meet my friend Segun.” she introduced.

Emma moved forward and Segun moved towards
him. Hatred clearly written on their faces.

“We can’t fight here. But we’ll see ourselves in a more isolated area where no one will separate us.”

Emma said in a clear whisper.

“Oh! Yeah.” segun replied.

Segun dropped the gift and left leaving a suprised
Titilayo staring at him as he left.

Segun opened the gate and found Emma and his
guys standing, looking mean and filled with rage.
They advanced towards him as he tried to lock the gate but they overpowered him.

They kicked, beat and hit him with various weapons,
he sustained so many injuries. After beating him to their satisfaction they left him. He tried standing up but he passed out.

ONE HOUR LATER

Jummy got down from the bike and walked towards
Segun’s house. She got to the gate and met the gate opened. She peeped inside and saw Segun’s figure lying unconsciously at a corner. She dropped her bag and ran towards him, she shook him vigorously
crying.

She felt his heartbeat and she quickly ran towards
the garden where she picked bucket, she filled it
with water and sprinkled it on his face.
He came back to life but was unaware of the
situation. He could only remember seeing
Emmanuel befor he passed out.

Jummy took him inside and la!d him on a three
seater chair. She went into the kitchen based on his directives and got some painkilling drug. She gave it to him, and went back to prepare him a hot tea.

Segun felt better after sometimes and thanked
jummy for her kindness.

“Will you be able to go for you exam today?” Jummy
asked with concern.

“I’ll go.” he said standing up and he went to dress
up.

They left the house after sometime and off they went
to their centre. They alighted from the bus and they
walked into Loyola college.

Segun walked to his seat and sat down putting his
head on the locker.

“Segun. Are you okay?” Nike asked.

“Yes i am. It’s just that i am a little bit weak.” Segun
replied.

“I was scared because it is unusual of you to be quiete……” she was saying before Jummy slapped
her from behind.

“What are you looking for? You want to know if your thugs did their work perfectly abi? You Sluut.” Jummy
rained abuses on her.

“Jummy what is your problem?” segun asked standing up.

“My problem? She is my problem.” Jummy said angrily as she move toward Nike.
Nike took a step backward and hid behind Segun.

Segun stopped her from doing anything.
“Nike, am very sorry.” Segun said as he held her and
took her to her seat.

Jummy stood at a spot and was looking at them with fury.

“Am i with the right guy? Imagine my boyfriend going against me in public.” she thought.

Segun returned back to his seat and looked at
Jummy with an angry face.

“Baby. Am sorry.” Jummy said.

Segun walked back to his seat and met Jummy
standing.

“Baby, am sorry.” she apologised.

He looked at her with contempt, ignored her and sat down. She sat down beside him and held hand.

“Baby am sorry.” she said.

“But why would you humilliate the poor girl?” he asked.

“Segun, try and understand me. See what those guys
did to you. If you keep on being friends with her you
are putting yourself into more danger.” she
lectured.

[B]“Okay. I’ve heared you.” he said.

“Promise me you’ll distance yourself from her.” she
said.

“I can’t promise but i’ll try and reduce my
closeness.” he replied.

The invigillator came in and distributed the question
paper and the answer sheet. They began writing.

TWO HOURS LATER.

Segun came out of the exam hall holding hands with
Jummy.

“Baby, come and know my house today.” she said
pleadingly.

“Today? I don’t have much time to spare.” he
replied.

“Just twenty minutes. I promise i won’t take your time.” She said.

“Okay.” he replied as they both walked out of the school compound and headed towards Jummy’s
place along bestway.

They got there in no time and saw no one at home.

They hunged out till around 6pm when it dawned on Segun that he was in for it today.

He hurriedly left for home bearing it at the back of
his mind that he is in a great trouble.

He got home knocked on the gate and Mary came to open for him. He entered and saw his father’s car parked.

He did the sign of cross and went inside.

“Go and wait for me in my room.” The man thundered.
