School Love - S01 E05

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

Lesson went well that day and after the closing the unexpected happened. I was waiting for Damilola so I can escort her to the gate but she was not in the class. And I didn’t know where she went to. I rested my head on the table while waiting for her, suddenly someone called me… I looked up and I was shocked at who I saw; Akaka.

I was happy thinking it was dami because she had stayed long, I turned as I stood as I opened my mouth in shock, well I didn’t expect her to come to my class neither did I know she was coming to my class.

“Aren’t you going home?” She asked.

“Em, em” I didn’t know what to say and I don’t want dami to meet us here. Just then dami entered.

“Joseph pleases sorry for keeping you long let’s go” she turned and saw Amaka with me,

“Who is this?” She asked.

“Dami am sorry I won’t be escorting you today” I told her. I could see the shock on her face.

“It’s okay she replied sadly and disappointed, trying to hide her disappointment and sadness.

I and Amaka left for home. But rumors started spreading in school, there were rumors that I was double dating, I didn’t understand what it meant but I knew it was something that could destroy my good name.

I and dami started getting far from each other, I didn’t know why she was withdrawing from me but It didn’t matter to me as I liked that she’s getting far from me, I thought maybe the rumors would stop because it had already gotten to the teachers.

One of my teachers accused me of crossing my hands on Amaka’s shoulder but Amaka was the one that did. I was mad and furious after my teacher accused me of such; I knew my relationship and friendship with Amaka would soon come to an end due to all this accusations.

One day I was rushing to school because I was already late and waiting for Amaka would be stupid of me, I didn’t know she took it personal and we stopped talking to each other. I was now free from Damilola and Amaka, and left to read my books because my association with them made me have low mark because I couldn’t concentrate. Little did I know I just created a load of problem for myself?

I didn’t want to leave dami but the few weeks we were moving together I started developing this kind of feeling for her, I stopped reading and I failed woefully in the two tests that were given to us. When I noticed she was getting far away from me I knew it was because of Amaka, she was jealous seeing us together but it didn’t matter to me, I seized the opportunity and stopped talking to her when I was accused of hugging Amaka.

I didn’t ask Amaka out neither did I ask Damilola out for a date, I don’t know who spread rumors that I was dating both of them, I was furious especially when my teacher accused me of what I didn’t do so I had to end my friendship with Amaka to protect my name from stain.

The next few weeks, Damilola started doing things that made me hate her, she started dating guys even my friend Prevail and Toheeb who were brilliant in our class, I just didn’t know what her mission was or why she was doing those things but they failed woefully in the exam we wrote. That’s why I knew and concluded that relationship in school would just do more harm than good to students. I had some feelings for her and I had to use that opportunity to get away from her. I love her but I couldn’t show my love because we were still in school, so I just had to let go but her recent behavior really pissed me off. She would call prevail sweet names in my presence and I had met she and Toheeb playing rough early in the morning.

I tried to advice and talk to them but it seems they were already caught in her web of fantasies. The last one she did that made me lose my cool and vow to pay her back was when she pecked Prevail in my presence. I got to know she was using it to get at me to regret leaving her and coming to beg her. But she only got me more angry by doing that.

After they left I called prevail.

“What was the meaning of that she just pecked you and you didn’t do anything” I asked trying to hide my anger.

”Joseph I can’t do anything I don’t even know what to do, am tired”.

“Well I can help you out, and there is only one way to do that”

“What is it, I would be happy if you would help me” he lamented

“She hates me now, so the only way for her to leave you is by staying close to me and also you should ignore her when she calls you” I replied as I smiled at myself. “Damilola, it’s payback time” I talked to myself.

I finally helped prevail and Toheeb to stop their relationship with Damilola. By ensuring they stay close to me.

She stopped associating with them because she couldn’t talk to me and she made me became a no nonsense person. I would shun anybody I don’t talk to that dared talk to me.

Soon the end of the term came and we went for the holiday of a month. And I really enjoyed the holiday. The holiday came to end and we resumed for the new term and session. I was now in SS2. I prayed that Damilola should not be in my class because I would not want her to be my assistant again. If chosen as the class captain in this class.

But unfortunately she was still put in my class that I wondered if there were plans already made by the school for them to put us in the same class. But it wasn’t a problem to me; my class teacher automatically gave me the captainship and told me to choose my assistant. I was very happy that I got to choose my assistant myself. I just couldn’t chose dami again so I chose Opeyemi. I could see the disappointment in her face, she was very angry and left the class In anger……..
