School Love - S01 E03

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

From the look of things he was writing his notes, and the expression on his face when I saw him showed that he didn’t want to be disturbed but I ignored the signal he was passing across to me and went over to him. I could see the shock and furious but he immediately keep his cool.

When I saw he wasn’t going to start any topic in the nearest future, I immediately took the chance and said, “Joseph, thanks for the other time”

“What other time”. He asked feigning ignorance.

“The other time” I replied not wanting to explain.

“Oh, okay you mean the other time I lied to the teacher about you having a toothache when absolutely nothing was wrong with you?”

“What!” I shouted within myself. Who the f--k is he to talk to me that way? But I kept my cool.

“Why were you shy to give a simple speech? He asked looking straight into my eyes.

“This guy is so annoying” I added in my mind then spoke up aloud, “I wasn’t shy I was just..”

“Just what? Dami, don’t lie to me I can see it in your eyes, you are shy” He interrupted standing up, packing his books and then the bell was jingled for dismissal. Luck was just on my side all I needed to do was to utilize them.

“Joseph, are you going home?” I asked him.

“Yes, do you want me to sleep here, anything the problem? He asked.

“No, just that we need to work together as captain and assistant, but how can we do that, see the way you are replying me as if we are enemies, did I offend you, you don’t call me for anything, you also do all the work yourself without involving me. Tell me what have i done to deserve all this treatment from you? I asked sobbing.

His mood changed instantly, he became remorseful, pulled closer to me and wiped the tears dropping down my cheeks.

“Dami am sorry I replied that way to you” He replied remorsefully.

“There is no need to be sorry, it’s my fault. Let’s go at least you are heading to where I board bike home”

“Okay lets go” He replied as he took my bag to carry it for me.

“What a gentle guy” I said to myself. Look at me I forgot to attend the fellowship I was to attend and was with my love, it was when we were passing the classes that I heard the voice of the members singing praise and worship song.

“Ha” I exclaimed while Joseph looked at me.

“Dami are you okay?” He asked.

“Yeah am okay just that I forgot I was to attend fellowship or would you go with me?”

“Oh my God, Dami, you are so funny, am a regular member in the fellowship I also forgot to go to the fellowship due to the notes I was rushing to complete”

“Okay, lets go to the fellowship now”.

“Okay dami no problem”.

We went into the classroom, the fellowship was held and joined in the singing of praise and worship. Later the pastor preached, and we said the closing prayer and the grace and left the class towards the gate when Joseph started a conversation.

“So how was the fellowship today? He asked.

“It was fine. I loved the preaching of the pastor, he was clear and made use of the scriptures”

“I guess you were delighted”

“Oh yes I was”

“So where do you live?”

“Don’t tell me you don’t know where I reside”

“Come on dami, you didn’t tell me anything about where you live, how do you suppose I know where you live, not that am a witch” he replied smiling

“Then how do you explain how you usually disappear” he laughed uncontrollably. This is the first time I would see him laugh like this. Well I guess am winning his heart.

“That’s not a big deal it’s you”

“Me?” I asked looking confused.

“Yes, you don’t monitor me well” he replied laughing.

We got to the gate and I cursed why we got to the gate early, I just wanted to be with him all the time.

“Okay goodbye Joseph I waved at him as I boarded a bike home.

“See you on Monday” he waved back…
