In less then 2minutes we had reached Jenny's house , she tiptoed to their porch and piped through the window . After she came back to where I was standing .
" Do you ever work out " she said seeing me bending trying to catch my breath .
" Not like this " I said still trying to catch my breath .
" We have a problem " she said in a worried tone .
" Mom is in the right there in the sitting room she expects me to come down in a few minutes and if I don't she will get ideas " she added in a swiftly .
" Is there a way you can sneak in " I asked her not expecting a good answer but just asking .
She first paused a bit and said " Actually yeah " as she ran to the side of the house , I just followed her though I was confused .
" There " she said pointed up at the balcony .
" Isn't that your room ? How will you get all the way there ?" I asked in confusion .
" Yeah I'm gonna climb " she said getting to the wall pulling me along with her "...And your gonna help me " she added with a smile on her face .
" Wait have you ever done this before " I was still confused .
" Yap I used to sneak out with Jerome to meet Ni...."
she ended on the way then faced the wall .
" Who's this Ni...whatever person " I asked her .
" Come on help me climb " she ignored my question .
I lifted her up although I still had my questions but I knew she wouldn't reply them anyway so I kept them to myself , she gripped on the handles , she was surprisingly not that heavy . she gripped on another and stepped on my shoulder , stepped on my head and in a bit she was up at the balcony .
I watched her as she entered her room through the window , before closing she turned and waved me good bye . I first rubbed my head since she had stepped on it .
I moved had to go back home , While passing by their house I over heard her talking to her mother everything seemed completely normal .

The next day I had to come to school since I was now feeling better . I entered the gate since I had woken up not so early yet not so late .
As I moved a few feet from the gate I heard a car pulling at the gate , I looked behind and it was a red porch . I knew it was for Tess , I started moving very fast to avoid her , I don't know why but I wanted to avoid her. I didn't have the right words to see to her since I had just kissed her without any reason .
" Troy wait up " I heard her voice .
I stopped but didn't look behind " what I'm I going to say to her " I asked myself .
She finally reached me .
" We have to talk " she said .
" Right now " I said not ready to talk .
" Yeah let's talk as we get to class "
" Ok " I said then we started moving .
" So what happened at the club " she started .
" Oh that I'm sorry about that " I said nervously .
" Oh no don't be " she said then smiled at me .
I was shocked by what she had said .
" You asked me to be you girlfriend right " she said .
" Yeah I guess I did " I said remebering that God forsaken day .
" Didn't you want an answer ? " she said
" Yeah ... but it was a clear no depending on your reaction " I said in disappointment .
" Who said so ? " she said looking at me while smiling .
I was a bit confused . So I stopped .
" Yes I wanna be your girlfriend " she said
My eyes opened wide was my crush finally agreeing to my love , is this a dream .
" Or did you change your mind " she said facing down. since I had taken a few seconds not replying .
" No no , Yes I want you to be my girlfriend " I said very excited at the moment .
A few seconds of silence after our conversation just starring at each other .
" Shall we ? " she said pointing to the direction of the hall where we were heading .
" Yeah totally " I said .
She held my hand as we entered the hall way which led to our class this same hall had lockers where we used to keep our staff . it was a bit crowded since most kids had just arrived at school preparing for the first lesson .
We first looked at each other before we started moving to through the hallway , Tess held my hand tightly and locked it with hers .
As we were moving through the hallway I could sense everyone's attention turned to us .
I fist bumped some guys as I was passing through the hall in another hand holding Tess tightly , I guess I had become famous at school .
Partly because and I was dating the head cheerleader and because I had played really well at the game on Monday .
Finally we reached class .
" wooo " as we entered some of our classmates cheered. " New couple in class " I had some claim .
" See you at break " Tess said as she sat in her seat.
I went to the back where I sit .
Jenny and Jerome had already arrived as usual .
" Well done bro " Jerome teased me as I came to sit .
" Hey " Jenny said to me facing her book . She wasn't very cheered up at all .
" who knows " I said to myself as I ignored her mood and said Hey to her .
The History teacher came in . As usual she was the jolly lady that I had seen on my second day .
" Good morning guys " she said with a smile placing her books on the table .
Yap some replied and others didn't .
" Today I'm giving you an assignment I won't teach for long " she said .
" Ahhh No " those were the mummers in the class of kids expressing there disagreement .
To my side I liked the idea mostly because I hated being bored in the history lesson but didn't respond to her comment .
" Yes like it or not that it " she said . " ...And it will be done by two people , so I will be assigning you partners " she added .
" Yes " some students expressed excitement and the class was filled with some how little noises .
I wonder what students like earlier they had not liked the idea but now excited as of they had been waiting for it for a long time .
" Quite down I will be choosing your partners if you choose for yourselves you won't study "she said looking through the class list .
After a few minutes of looking through the class list.
" Alright listen to your names and your partners " she said in a commanding voice .
She started reading out names .
" Simon with Mary .
Gideon with Cherry "
I noticed that she was grouping a boy and a girl .
I wonder if by any chance I would be put together with Tess .
" Troy... " she read my name and I broke from my thoughts . I waited for the lucky girl that I would be grouped with " please be Tess please " I kept on saying in my mind .
" Since you are new you should be put with another new student so that you can catch up with the rest of the class , your partner is Jenifer " she said .
"What the hell , guess you can't always be lucky "
I said to myself .
" Jerome with Amanda " the teacher said and Jerome rejoiced with an annoying " Yesss " Jenny looked behind and and starred at me then smiled , then turned .
" Tess with Alexa
Ritah with Amilia " the teacher concluded .
I wonder why Tess was put with a girl instead of a boy but on the bright side , I was somehow relieved .
" My system was girls with boys but some girls are with girls , that's because girls are more than boys in this class " she explained but most kids didn't react as if they all knew accept me .
