Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
Her unexpected presence really
placed me in a vegetative state
that took about ten seconds
before I could recollect myself.
Meanwhile, she just stood there,
hands akimbo, with this ‘yesss,
bring it on!’ expression now
written over her face.
”Yes, errm, I mean… (clears
throat)… Actually, it’s true that I
wanted to speak with you.
Please, give me a few minutes let
me arrange my books and also
chain my sit to my locker, ok,” I
requested in a stuttering voice.
Truth be told, my plea for a little
time was based on the rationale
that she will have to wait me
outside the class which would
give me enough room to practice
a few seconds yoga breathing in
order to fully recover my
evaporated confidence.
”No problem, I’ll be right here
waiting,” she replied.
”Ok, let me help you arrange
your books while you chain your
locker and sit together,” she
finally concluded with this heart-
melting smile which left me
fantasizing over a yet to be
assured successful wooing. I
finally managed to chain the two
woodworks together with
trembling hands and thus we
headed outside the class
towards the school gate.
”Thanks for helping me out with
my books. I really do appreciate,”
I said to her as a way of
expressing my gratitude while
she simply chuckled.
”My name is Spain and you are?”
I asked. All these while I have
been unable to really know her
name.
”So you don’t know my name?
Hmmm, ok na, that aside, why
did you want to see me?” she
questioned me back with an
askance look.
*kai, na my first Bleep up be dis
o. I dey find girl and I no even try
to first find out her name from
people*
”Am sorry for not knowing your
name. It’s just that am still very
much a new student in this
school.” I replied defensively.
”Ok, my name is Nkeiruka but am
more often called Nkeiru,” she
finally opened up.
Wheeew, first hurdle crossed
”Wow, that’s nice. That’s actually
my immediate elder sister’s
name. Hmmm, that does not
mean you’re my elder sister o,” I
jokingly posited while I secretly
prayed for her not to see this
statement as a bad attempt to
sound funny. My heart was
magically coated with honey
when she let out this hysterical
laugh which I took as a green
light and I immediately ceased
the opportunity to make my
intentions known to her.
”Nkeiru, I’ve really observed you
for some weeks now and I found
out you’re not like other girls in
this school, so that’s the reason
why I asked to meet with you
because I want to ask you to be
my girlfriend.”
She stopped walking immediately
the last word came out of my
mouth which made my heart to
pound like a five-loader compact
disc sound system.
”I hope you know this is not why
we were sent to school? Our
parents sent us to school so we
can become better people by
studying our books and not to
come here and start making
boyfriends and girlfriends,” she
replied with a serious expression
while I scratched my head.
”Please o, I don’t mean that type
of girlfriend you’re thinking of.
Am talking about someone who I
can be studying with and also
exchanging books with. After all,
am the only son so I don’t even
think I will like to risk my life
involving in immorality,” I lied
while using the last sentence as a
bribe tool to gain her trust. I
must point out that most ‘only’
sons always use this statement
whenever they want to appeal to
girls’ pity and/or trust. It’s a
veritable tool that seldom fails.
”Ok, I’ve heard but I’ll have to
think it through this weekend
before I give you my reply on
monday,” she replied but I
immediately cut her short by
pressuring her for an instant
answer right there because I’ve
already been lectured by Mike
and Kachi never to accept that ‘I
will think about it’ line from girls.
They argued that many things
could go wrong during that ‘evil’
thinking period as she might
notice some flaws either in your
looks, character, swag etc. So it is
always best to pressure her into
accepting or refusing
immediately. The odds mostly
favour the former.
”Hmmm, ok, I’ve accepted but
you must know that there will be
no sex,” she finally yielded.
*Yeeee! I feel good
parararararara*
My joy knew no bounds as I
heard those words from her
which signified my triumph in
my first ever wooing attempt.
*Hmmm, sex? Whose talking
about sex for now. Na the accept
I wan hear first. Atleast, my hand
no fall*
”Thanks for your favourable
response. I promise not to let
you down,” I concluded before
bidding her goodbye as she
entered the Ahia Iheorji (Iheorji
Market) to buy foodstuff they
would cook for lunch.
