Everytime I wanted to stand up my legs opposed I was shit scared.
" I didn't know you were such a loser "
" What ? * I looked at her.
She looked really calm and seemed to enjoy my nervousness.
" You can't even talk to a girl " she teased me and I wanted to prove her wrong so, I stood up to confront Tess.
But then she stood up and I sat down immediately.
" Ahhh " Jenny rolled her witchy eyes.
Tess turned and looked at me.
" Looks like she's coming to you " Jenny said and I wanted to disappear in the ground.
Tess finally reached to the desk I was seated at.
" Hey " she said with a smile.
" Hi " I replied to her .
" Aren't you going for lunch " she asked me. ' quite friendly ' I thought.
" Not really I have some work to finish ...ho.. how m about you ? "
" Nope. I'm full so I decided to stay and study" she said .
Silence.
Fucking silence.
Say something you fuck.
Silence.
Say something
" Is she your girlfriend ? " she said looking over to Jenny.
" Huh, No way " Jenny said real fast like she was listening to every single letter in the conversation waiting for us to mention her.
Tess looked at me.
" she's just my friend " I said.
" Yeah we're friends " Jenny says.
" Oh I thought you were together." she said.
" It can't happen we are just friends. " Jenny confirmed as if to rub it in. I hate her so much.
" Great, see you around. . . Troy "she smiled at me turning to go.
Jenny hit my shoulder with a little blow and whispered to me " Give it to her " At first I didn't understand what she was saying but then realized it later .
" Wait " I stopped her .
She immediately turned and said
" Yes."
" I have something that belongs to you " I said handing her the pink book .
She was surprised, pleased and then worried " Where did you get it from ? " she asked me.
" Well I picked it " I said. She looked like she didn't believe a single word I had just said.
" I didn't read anything "
" I picked it after you ran in the rain, you left it behind " she said.
" Oh, right it was gonna rain I ran I must have dropped it " she said.
" Thanks " she sounded and looked genuine. I passed it to her and as we were exchanging it I touched her hand it was soft. She looked at me and I looked at the two hands in contact and then Jenny said " He wanted to give it to you at break but you left quickly " immediately retrieved it.
" Yeah. . . I wanted to. . . but . . " I was screwing up when Jenny said. " Anyway if you're are worried about whether he read it he didn't, I have one too and it'd be embarrassing if another person read it " she winked at Tess and Tess smiled.
" I owe you Troy " Tess said with a smile and winked at me then turned and went back to her desk .
" Snap out of it lover boy " Jenny said .
" I thought I was Chilly "
" Oh, thanks for reminding me " she smiled.
" Why are you helping me, I thought you hated me ? " I asked her .
" I'm not helping you " she said.
" And why would I hate you I just met you like six hours ago I don't have enough reasons to hate you " she said.
" Oh okay " I didn't know what to say to her.
She passed me a humble smile.
" So we're friends " I said and liked the sound of it.
" Not so fast chilly " she said and picked up a book. We didn't talk much after that.
Jerome came back and while he was entering I noticed the way him and Amanda looked at each other . It was like that ' I want you ' look.
He came and sat on Jenny's desk while facing behind we talked for a while before lunch was over. Jenny and Jerome are always quarreling over little things like music politics, who's better, basket ball politics, things like that.
I kinda envy them for that I wish I had someone.
The next lesson I was having was computer or that's how I call it other kids my classmates call it ICT apparently it's cooler that way. Neither Jenny nor Jerome not even Tess do it. So bottom line it was a major suck up don't know how I will survive there it's really boring I kept sleeping I missed Jenny's anti sleeping fragrance. But anyway I managed.
I moved with Jerome and Jenny up to the gate after I had looked for them.
" Gotta go bro see you tomorrow have somethings I have to attend to at home so I can't walk with you today. " Jerome said .
Before I could say anything Jenny said ,
" What things ? ...I prefer to walk today "
" I will tell you when we reach home let's go " Jerome stated .
Seeing that Jenny's attitude had changed and she was about to start another quarrel with Jerome I said, " Yeah you guys take go ahead I'm also tired so I'm gonna take a motorcycle anyway. "
"Alright it's settled, come let's go Jenny " Jerome said grabbing Jenny's hand kind of in a hurry. She loosened her hand from his and said " Wait a bit ." looking at Jerome .
She came to me.
" Give me your phone number " she said getting out a paper .
I was dropped near home in a few minutes. I moved a few blocks then reached home . I greeted Mom, changed into casual clothes and cleaned my uniforms for tommorow. Helped mom with some work I had plenty of time since I had come from school early . School ended at 3:40 and I had reached home at 4:00.
It was soon turning dark so we went inside the house and we ate food . After eating food it was around 8:00p.m. I still had nothing to keep me busy so I decided to watch a movie . I wasn't a fan of Romantic movies I used to watch only action movies but today I tried it .
After 2hours the movie was completed so I went downstairs to say Goodnight to Mom. I always did this and didn't sleep well with out wishing her a goodnight.
-kinda childish, I know but can't help it.
" You are still awake " she asked me .
" Yap I was doing some work " I said to her although it was a lie it was the only way to save myself from being quarreled at for watching a movie instead of studying.
" Good night Mom "
" Good night "
I went upstairs to my room. I laid on the bed
and a message popped on my phone.
" Hey chilly " I easily noticed who it was so I replied back .
" Hey "
"Not yet asleep ?"
" Nope just finished watching a movie "
" And which movie is that ?"
" After "
" ooh didn't know you like romantic movies "
" I don't .it was a one time thing "
" Really "
We continued chatting until midnight and that's when we stopped and said good night to each other. I put aside my phone and closed my eyes.
