Johnson and Nelly couldn't contain their happiness and their HOD quickly came up the stage and gave them a breath taking hug. After he released them, Johnson turned and hugged Nelly so tight that she was gasping for breath.
"Umm Jo I can't breathe" Nelly said
"oh sorry" he said as he released her
"it's just that I'm really proud of you" Johnson said with his face down
"Jo are you blushing right now? are shy in front of me? I'm your best female friend remember?" she said looking at Johnson but he also refused to take his face up.
"OMG Jo are you crushing on me? Don't tell me you have feelings for me" she said with her face filled with amusement. He finally raised his head up and Nelly searched for his eyes through his classes but couldn't find it, she just hugged him back and muttered under her breath, "I'm proud of you too and besides we did together"
Later they were called upon and were given medals for winning the first stage. The second year students gave them a very stern look before giving them a hand shake. Nelly and Johnson knew within that the war had just begun. They had to top up their classes. They both left the hall together with their HOD.
