Brian p.o.v
Since that night, I was glad that I managed to leave her house without getting caught by the security.
What bothered me was why Sophia was following me for
Was she stalking me and for what?
I asked myself knowing I didn't have the answer either by tyr way didn't I just leave her at school and what did she want that she had to follow me all the way to samra's house.
One thing I was glad about was I was on time in school before the curfew and I quietly entered my dorm room without making a sound.
Since my roommate Jonathan was asleep and I didn't want to wake him, as I sat on the bed, the light was turned on by him and he looked at me curiously.
"My I ask where you were at this time?" He asked as he laid on his pillow.
"I...I.. am was practicing for the game you know it will be next month" I stammered.
"You do know that practice ended four hours ago and you weren't in the locker room either so tell me where were you?" He asked as he got up.
"You're right, I wasn't in the locker let's say I went for a... jogging yeah I went for jogging" I said knowing I was a bad at lying.
"Really? Jogging? Using a taxi? Or legs? you left school compound knowing that there was a curfew,why are you even lying it's not like I'll tell on you come on Brian" he laughed.
"Sorry it won't happen again wait you won't tell on me that's a relief hey sorry I just went to...."
"I know you went to see samra right? Isn't that why you were talking to the secretary miss ruth?" He asked.
"Did you follow me too?" I asked curiously.
"No, and why are you asking I saw you talking to her while I was passing by the hallway.
"Ok cool, it's just that a girl named Sophia followed me and I don't know why she did it " I said as I laid on my pillow.
"Wait you're saying that while you went to see samra, Sophia followed you as in Sophia the "nerd"are you being stalked woah!that's ...weird" he said as he chuckles.
"That's not funny like you said its weird she was the first person I met when I came here but I feel creepy about her " I said as I felt pain on my ankle.
"Are you ok? He asked as he looked at me.
"Yeah kinda, I twisted my ankle as I jumped over a wall" I said as I looked at my left leg.
"You should put an ice it might get swollen if you leave it like that" Jonathan said as he stood up and brought me an ice pack.
I thanked him and he went to sleep, I waited a while until the pain stopped and went to sleep.
The next day I went to class and by lunch I had a basketball practice, which was longer than the other days.
We had a month to prepare for the match and I was chosen as the captain for the team which everyone had accepted it.
After a few rounds, my ankle started feeling pain but I tried to ignore it as I was focusing on the game when suddenly lost the balance and one of my mates pushed me to get the ball back.
I fell on the ground and held my ankle as the pain became unbearable, our coach mr. Smith stopped the game and asked me if I was ok.
"What happen to you Brian are you alright?" He asked as he looked at my swollen leg.
"I twisted my ankle last night as I was..." I stopped talking as I remembered that I was about to expose myself.
"What were you doing again?" He asked as he looked at me.
If I said the truth i might get expelled or get kicked out of the team.
It was my first year in one of the most prestigious universities in the country and I didn't want to get myself in trouble for what I did.
I looked at Jonathan knowing that he knew the truth so he spoke up instead.
"We went for jogging and he accidentally hit a rock which made him lose his balance and twisted his leg" he said as he looked at me.
"Alright then take him to the infirmary and I hope it won't be serious, this is your first game and I hope you will play" he said as he motioned Jonathan and another guy to take me.
Even though I knew I made a mistake, I didn't want to lose this scholarship because of my crazy act.
Both Jonathan and John took me to the infirmary and left me there. But soon Jonathan came to stay with as the nurse was doing some test on my ankle.
"Am afraid I have bad news, I don't think you'll be able to play this game" she said as she applied some ointment and put an ankle brace around it.
"Why do you think that?" I asked as I didn't think that it was going to be bad.
"Well according to the test, the side your ankle has a swollen and it will not be able to heal for at least a month, so you need a bed rest I'll inform your coach" she said as she finished putting the bandage.
She left the room and it felt like something was wrong, how was I going to miss my first game and it wasn't going to be easy to just stay at home.
I could feel like I have already lost the game even though it was weeks away.
"Sorry Brian, am sure you didn't know it would be this serious, cheer up who knows you might join us sooner than you think" he said as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I didn't know but I already feel like I have failed you even though the game is almost weeks away" I said as I tried not to sound defeated.
"Don't worry too much am sure they might postpone it until you come back"he assured me.
After a while he helped me pack up some books and clothes,we left the infirmary since I was given a leave, he promised to send me notes and text whenever he was free.
I got into a taxi and Jonathan helped me with my bag, as I drove off I thought about everything and wondered if things would be different if I had handled it some other way.
By the evening I was back home and both mom and my bother were waiting at the door.
Mom ran quickly and helped me out of the car, as my brother cody helped me with my bag.
"Oh dear how did you get yourself injured and you were barely there for less than a month?" She asked as she helped me sit on the couch.
"Its not that serious mom am sure I'll be back to myself before you know it" I said as I knew I was to be blamed for my clumsiness.
The next day, as I was playing games with cody, we heard a knock on the door and I didn't bother to see the person as I assumed it was one of our neighbours.
The next thing I hear was a female voice and I knew who it.
"Sophia?what is she doing here?and how did she know where I live?" I asked myself.
I don't know what came to me but I suddenly lost my temper and got angry at her and asked her to leave.
Even though I was the one to blame myself but I couldn't so I asked her to leave and forbade her from seeing me again.
She looked like she was hurt as tears fell down and ran out without looking back.
"What just happened?did I blame her for what I did to myself?" I asked myself as I fell back to the couch...
