Chapter 7 - The Apology

After that we were cool with each other although I felt somehow uncomfortable since she was seated so close to me . oh and also because she had literally rejected me .

" What is taking him so long. " she broke the silence .

Before I could say anything I saw something . I saw Tess and Amanda approaching where we were sitting. I became somehow nervous .

Then had someone patting my back.

" Relax she's just a girl like me " Jenny said .

" Thanks " I said to her as I prepared myself to talk to Tess.

" Hy " Tess said after she reached where we were sitting .

"Hi ...Tess " I replied looking straight into. her eyes .

" I'm so sorry about earlier in the morning " she calmly said she looked so cute .

" Actually it was my fault ... " I tried not to make her feel guilty. But she cut me off .

" No...silly ... please accept my apology.. " she said chuckling but looking so apologetic.

"You see something annoyed me that's why I shouted at you " she continued .

" Hy I get it " I gently said .

" Oh here you go " she said getting my umbrella from Amanda handing it to me .

" Thanks for that " she added .

"Oh it was nothing " I said to her .

" Where is Jerome " Amanda finally said looking around . We all turned our attention to her . Realising that all of us were gazing at her . She faced down avoiding our eyes .

" So see you around... Troy " she said smiling at me . I was surprised that she knew my name .

" I'm the class monitoress ..so I know all my classmates new or old. " she said to me figuring out that I was surprised that she knew my name .

She smiled then turned to go . I felt very happy . As I was busy feeling very satisfied by what had just happened.

" That bi*** " I had a voice interrupting my happy moment .

" What ..why " I said looking at Jenny.

" I mean I was just seated here next to you like we are a couple but she didn't even say hi to me " she complained.

I didn't mind her comment .

" You like her " she said with a smirk on her face looking at me .

" What ...no ..no " I pretended .

"Come on anyone can clearly see it " she said .

" Okay yes " I finally admitted it .

" But you are clearly not good at love " she said looking at me with a half smile .

" What do you know about love have you ever been in a relationship before " I said to her feeling offended by her previous statement .

Immediately her smile faded away and she grew pale but forced a fake smile and said .

" How about this ..let me be your love coach. "

" What " surprised I said .

" Yes I'm gonna tell you what you should do to make her fall for you. " I don't know why I accepted but I did anyway .

" Okay. "

"Great. " she said with a smile.

Just then Jerome arrived with the foods and gave each of us respectively.

"How did you know she was here?" I asked him confused that he had brought for her chips .

" oh I saw her seated with you then went back to buy for her " he calmly said as he sat .

As he was sitting he starred at me kind of weird .

" If you hadn't brought for me I would've eaten with Troy " Jenny jokingly said eating her chips. I smiled but when I raised my head I saw Jerome looking at me weirdly . My smile quickly faded away .

After we were done with our break it was time to go to class . We stood up and moved I was still talking to Jenny as we were on the way to class.

" Gotta get to class chilly " she said heading to her class .

" See you at lunch " I said to her smiling .

Damn she was fun to be around and I found it easy to connect to her .

I turned only finding Jerome looking at me weirdly again.

" What? " I said to him raising my shoulders .

" My little sister is off limit. " he said to me looking very serious. I was terrified by him .

" Na it's not what you think " I explained to him.

"If it's not that then good. " he said then smiled at me as if nothing had happened. Damn the guy is so moody and over protective about his sister .

"...Well let's get to class " he said as he moved to class . " I think the person who dares to dates his sister will be in deep trouble ." I thought to myself as I followed him to class .

As soon as we reached class the bell rang and after a while the teacher entered .

"These teachers can keep time " I said to Jerome .

" Yeah it's a school policy. " he said

" Good morning class " the teacher greeted us with a smile she was a female I wasn't surprised by that .

" I want to introduce you to our new classmate" she said with a smile .

I was kinda confused as I thought I was the new student .

" Come in Jenifer " she said . I was at first shocked thinking it was Jerome's sister but

" Nah Jenifer is a common name " I thought to myself.

To my surprise.....
