CHAPTER SIX ❤️
"Nelly let's go, it's just a normal meeting with a guy" Ella dragged Nelly forward as she was trying to go back.
"Please am quite nervous about meeting that guy, what if he ends up insulting me again and besides I have a quiz competition together with Johnson against the second year medical students so I need to prepare" Nelly said with concern.
"What time is the quiz" Ella blurted out
"It's by three o'clock" Nelly said
"Great! It's just twelve o'clock so we are all fine" Ella said and quickly hushed Nelly from saying another word. Few minutes later they arrived at the school basket ball court, they were amazed to see the number of boys with Ray waiting for her while some other students sat there watching them have fun.
"Hi" Nelly said
"hi slim fit" Ray said with a smirk, the other athletes with him started smiling making gestures that they all approved of what he just called her
"Umm, I think am going to go now, Nelly I'll be at the entrance" Ella cut in
"No no wait" before Nelly could finish what she was saying, Ella was long gone
"I guess it's just you and us babe" one of the guys threw from the back and others started laughing.
"So, why am I here, what's the deal?" Nelly quickly inquired
"Okay, as you know, we are the school's acrobatic dance team, we are known as the "Lions of UNN" and due to the oncoming "Clash" between us and the "Jaguars of NAU". "The Clash" is a competition held once in five years between universities in order to know whose going to take home the lead in acrobatic dance" Ray said
"wow, that's nice" she said with a fake smile, "so what has it to do with me?" she finally asked
"You know he told you that we are known as the "Lions of UNN" one of the guys said
"yeesss" Nelly replied as she raised her brow in suspicion
"We need a lioness" another said from the back
"yay! You need a lioness, that's okay, it's a very nice plan and I know you called me here to help you find one but I'm sorry, I can't help you because I don't know any. Thank you so much for trying to ask for my help I really appreciate. Now gentle men if you'll excuse me I'm going to take my leave now" she said as she motioned to leave
"Actually, I think we've found our lioness" a guy said from behind
"And it's you" Ray added
"How can it be me, it's not possible please kindly look for another person" Nelly said, this time very eager to leave
"Please, we chose you because we needed a girl who is lighter in weight and we found you" some of the guys said simultaneously
"I'm not the only slim girl in the school" she had barely finished when they all shouted "please slim fit please" they all chorused together continually "alright fine, what is my role, what am I supposed to do there?" Nelly asked
"It's just about throwing and catching" Ray said
"Good what are we throwing and what are we catching?" she queried
"You" Ray said
"That's why we needed someone as light as you" he said again
Immediately Nelly heard him she felt this chill all over her, who were they going to throw? Her? No the thought of flying in the air and being caught by guys she barely knew was already giving her creeps. She thought of a way to escape, but she didn't think of anything, so she made to run.
