Wasted years

"I really need to pass my forth coming exams I said for the tenth time to myself .
I quickly picked my books and arrange my rumble skirt and walked towards the exit of our classroom..
"Hey wait for me ,u silly girl,she said hurriedly....
Favour grabbed my hand and we walked out of the classroom....
This is our final exams and we will be through with our elementary class and going into the university
The thought of being in the university had always been my dream...
The exams is scheduled to start tomorrow and we have been preparing for it,burning the midnight candle and sleepless nights
"Are we sitting together tomorrow for the exams,ask favour as we stand outside the gate of our school waiting for a taxi to take us home
"Well it depends on the arrangement of our school,you know we sat according to our names ,it doesn't mean you are intelligent so you claim abi "I said laughing and hitting her softly on her shoulders
"Please stop ,and not scared am just having exams sickness "she said looking elsewhere...I turn my eyes towards where she is looking and my eye met my crush festus popularly known as festi,,,
I quickly removed my eyes and started praying for any available taxi to come so I can zoom off
"Hey lover girl ur crush is coming towards us"favour said smiling
My mind is already in zigzag,wasn't thinking straight anymore ,I don't know ,but any time I see fetus I always have these pained in my chest or will I say I am always afraid .....
I just walked away from where favour was standing and moved a little bit closer to the gate of our school ,wished fetus didn't see us,but luck ran out of me cause he came straight towards me grabbed my hands and smiled
"Hey help me tell Daniel that I will be coming over to the house to see him"
I nod my head in respond to his quest
Fetus is not only handsome but he is playboy,to others he is a playboy but to me he is my idol..
He is tall,black in complexion,with a big eyes to compliment his looks ....to crown it all he is Nate ,his uniform is always neat and iron....oh my first love fetus
"What did he say to you"ask favour
"Nothing ,just asked after his friend,"I reply her
Favour is a thin and black girl,not too good looking but she is very wild ,she feels she is the most beautiful girl in our school and country,she is so proud of herself and her look ,that was what attracted me in keeping her as a friend ,so outspoken unlike me who is always shy and can't express my self to my friends not to talk of the opposite sex
"Good afternoon ma"I greeted the owner of our apartment and I walked inside to get the door key
"Welcome"
she side without looking at me
I opened our apartment walked inside as usual nobody is always at home by these time...
