Hannah And I - S01 E04 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

I decided not to follow my mom, I told her that I would trek to school because I don’t want people to starting tagging me as ‘omo get inside’. She finally left after I was able to convince her that I will be fine. I packed some higher education books, pen, mathematical set inside the brown laptop bag and got my body on the road to Hannah’s house. I hardly slept for an hour last night because of her. Her beautiful face kept coming into my dreams; it would wake me up and I would sleep again thinking about her. This continued until the c---s started to crow.

“Love at first sight?” I thought.

No! I protested against the thought because even if I want her as my girlfriend, it would be difficult because of Sam. I wouldn’t want to put my precious life on the line because of a girl. Moreover, mom always tell me that I have a girl I must marry when I grow to be a man if I want our family name to keep existing.

I arrived at her house and saw her sitting on a bench. She took her bag and moved towards me when I made my presence known from the roadside.

“How was your night?” I asked.
“It was beautiful,” was the reply, accompanied by a smile that presented the face of the most beautiful girl on Earth… No, universe.

“You’re really beautiful,” I commented facing down.

That was the end of our conversation throughout our walk to school. She gave no other reply except from the smile and the constant eye contact. When we got to the school gate, I remembered the document I was told to bring by the principal. I checked the wristwatch and saw that even if I was Flash, I wouldn’t make it back to school before assembly starts.

“I have to go home, Hannah.”

“You should inform a teacher first to save you from trouble.”

“No, it’s time wastage, let me hurry home now.”

“Your bag,” she requested.

I gave the bag to her and ran home as fast as I could. I could have stayed back and tell the principal that I would bring it the next day but he said he needed to submit it somewhere that day so, I had no choice but to go home for it.

I could hear the sound of drums and jingling of bells, not without the background sound of sing students. They’ve started the morning prayers. I didn’t stop running until I reached the school gate. The first eyes that welcomed me were those of Hannah. It came with a frightening look. She looked somewhere else and I traced it.

Lo, it was Samuel at the gate; he was the Punctuality prefect!
